Anyone want to fiddle fack with me tonight?

I'll probably be on in an hour or so

Thursday?

Going to The Dark Knight at midnight, so I won't be on.

Me too.

Well, guess I'll play with ya'll in three weeks then!

I swear to God...if the Predators let Shea Weber go the Flyers, I'm going to lose my shit. It's a ridiculous contract...for a lot of money...that would last until he's 40, but the guy is a top 5 defenseman. When you develop star players, at some point you have to pay them. And seriously...the FUCKING FLYERS???

I don't think they have any choice but to match it, especially after they kept telling fans that they would match any offer sheet he signed. It is a lot of money, but its on par with what Suter signed for and Weber is a better player. Like you said, at some point you have to pay your top guys and let's be realistic here, does Nashville (or any other team) really think anyone is going to take less than market to stay? Only Crosby and a select few have done that. Does Nashville think they are going to lock up Weber for 7 years $35 million? Get real. Philly actually made it easy for Nashville, just match the offer and you have your #1 guy locked up for a long time at the market rate.

Yeah, that's all entirely true. It does just basically put the ball in Nashville's court. If they're serious about contending, they have to match the offer. It's that simple. If matching the offer would put them in a position that they can't sign other high end players to compete, then they're not serious about winning a Cup anyway.

They're a young team and have a lot of strong prospects but I just can't see letting your top two defensemen (not to mention your team captain) walk. You could argue that you're overpaying, but as you said, when other players are getting similar deals....what can you do? Gotta step up or get passed over.

I hope these live moments are awesome and added every week when the season begins.

Also, really? Complete set is back? If anybody needs that achievement let me know. Have a full Tampa set.

Don't mind my edits!

Assign a captain to your Hockey Ultimate Team using the Assign Captain item - Awesome finally!

Get traded to another team in Be A Pro with a Created Pro - Hope it works awesome this year unlike last game.

Hit the post 3 times in 1 game in Be A Pro with a Created Pro - Ha Ha! That's what? 1 and a half points?

Score a goal while injured in Be A Pro with a Created Pro - Play through injuries? Hope so! Get injured bad enough and sit out? Hope so!

Score a goal with your goalie pulled - Hope this relates well. Pulling goalie essental but not in EASHL, which I hope does make a difference finally

Complete 30 EA SPORTS™ Hockey League regular matches without receiving a DNF or backout penalty - oh boy! Lol

Yeah, glad to see they added the "Alan Achievement", haha.

Are You Kidding Me? 15 Hit the post 3 times in 1 game in Be A Pro with a Created Pro

Ah, there's also the "Douchebag Achievement", lol. I'll be doing that one offline.

Coast To Coast 30 Starting from behind your net, skate up the ice and score without passing

It also looks like we'll be able to name EASHL team captains and assistant captains...unless all it means is that it's like normal where the 1st person to select a position is the captain, and the 2nd and 3rd to select a position will be assistant captains.

Lead By Example 20 As captain or assistant captain, be named one of the 3 stars during an EASHL match

They really like to bring back the same achievements year in and year out in NHL, but they do the same thing with all the EA Sports games for the most part. Would like to see EA actually build an achievement list from scratch in a game for once. Then again at least you don't have to break the Gretzky point record this year so that is an improvement.

that post avhievement lol

Not sure if anybody saw, but the $15 pre-order credit from Amazon now applies to the Stanley Cup Edition as well. Still not worth it to me, but some might be interested.

Too late. If I want the Ballz stick, I'll just download it or some shit. Nate, can you make me a Jewiroux cover? :-) or see if anybody can make one.

Anyone want to play tonight?

Yeah, I'm actually available tonight, so I'd love to get some games in. It feels like forever since I cursed EA's stupidity.

Vacation! Anyways, first game play video is up on facebook. Looks good

I'll be around most of the evening too.

GM Connected news tomorrow!
