I'm up for some games tonight since yesterday was Easter and there was no hockey at all. I can tolerate to look at the game for hours now lol. As long as I don't pull a 3 game day, I'm good to play usually lol.

I also wonder about the whole going over 99 thing as well.
 
[quote name='n8rockerasu']Probably your imagination. I think I've got mine at 70 and had several where I sniped corners last night (a couple in that last game alone, I think). I really think it's just dumb luck with what kind of goalie you get and how well he reacts to things.

I will say though, we were a force in that last game. Passes were crisp, forecheck was strong, and we did a great job rotating to cover each other when we needed to. Rob, you were throwing some sick moves to set me and Brandon up too. I really wonder what that Elite team thought when they found themselves down 5-0 halfway through the 2nd period, while they only had 5 shots on goal. A few more games like that and we'll be ready for the playoffs.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I felt a little rusty early, and felt myself falling into bad habits (like holding onto the puck for too long). But after the first game it was like riding a bike.
 
sup fellas, any interest in helping me boost up after this month's playoffs at some point?

Since I'm not really in the core group I know it isn't a priority, and if you're not interested it's cool. I'd like to get the legend card if I can.
 
I actually have a really early morning tomorrow and probably my busiest work day of the month, I was just asking for the future, like next week maybe on a monday or weds.

thanks for being open to it, how many boost games played did it take the others to hit the overall A-?

If you're at a B overall, I'd estimate 4-7 games.
 
More great games last night! This was the aftermath of our final game. We won 2-1, outshooting the other team 31-17. They didn't take it very well, and sent me, Gary, and Brandon voice messages before the game even ended. I thought I'd take advantage of the free entertainment and keep egging them on. The one guy continued responding to my messages 3 games later. Notice how the tone of his voice changes near the end.

To paint a better picture, here's an action shot of one of their top plays. I call this one "Brotherly Love".

After we watched them lose their 4th straight game, Brandon finished him off with this.

Good times.
 
LMAO... "go outside and throw a pie in your face"... "Listen you fat version of Harry Potter"...

Wow... the funny thing is, that guy is the one who sounds like he has some retardation going on.

Mommy let them have their xbox live back?

Yeah, actually one of my responses was "You have a funny voice. Retard?" haha. And when we noticed the guy's name was Richard Dorr, that's where the "Dick Door" thing came from. It was pretty damn hilarious.
 
Hey. Is it too late to join this illustrious team? I have been playing the NHL series since 94 and I would've joined the CAG team much earlier had I ever taken a stroll to the Xbox 360 boards before today. >_>

Ill send a request to join right now.

#6 | adawg555 | BigRedNY | Anthony Martinez | Right Defenseman


EDIT: Apprently the club has recieved the max number of join requests, so I can't put mine in. Oh well :(
 
We have a bunch of join requests from random people we need to clear out. I will send you an invite here in little while.

For that blocked shot Alan posted, OUCH!

Edit- never realized what a pain in the ass EA made it to send out a club invite if the person isn't on your friends list. You have a friend request from me adawg so I can add you to the team or you can resend your join request as that has been cleared out as well.

Nope. Definitely not too late. All we ask is that you prove your worth. We've had a lot of guys come and go, and not really be able to hang with the team mentality and fundamental style we use. Play solid defensively and make good decisions and you could easily create a place for yourself here. Like we always say, the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it.
 
[quote name='jza1218']When is the planned playoff run for April?[/QUOTE]

I was just going to ask that. It seems you and Alan have kinda been on opposite schedules lately. I don't know when you guys will be available, but I can be free pretty much every evening this week from 6 PM EDT on. Obviously, later would be easier, but if we had a time set up, I could work it out. Whatever works for you guys.

Well tomorrow is my next night off, and coincidentally my birthday, so I am good to go after 10.
 
The man turns 35 tomorrow! :p

I'm good for tomorrow as well. We need another Amauteur banner. (Don't feel like spell checking since EA doesn't feel the need too either)

32 damnit!

I plan on spending the game saying "I'm getting too old for this shit!"
 
Tomorrow will be tight on time for me. I can get a few games in if 10 EST is when we play but I am going to go see Fast 5 with a group of friends from work at 10 MST.
 
That looks like an Atari Lynx with your last name in the cenetr of it in the background of the second pic. I know it sin't, but that was my first thought.
 
Since I've barely played this month I'd have no problem if you guys preferred to try and do it on Friday instead, since it sounds like it would be easier for others.
 
If it's Friday, I won't be able to play until a lot later in the night, going to be helping a buddy move for most the afternoon into the evening. If you guys feel like you are ready by then, I won't be offended if you want to go ahead without me.

Also, it's nearly May, and you're in Florida. Why do you have snowmen on your sheets?
 
So, are we going to try a playoff run tonight? I know Brandon was saying if we could start by 10 PM EDT, he'd be able to play a couple games. Just wondering if that's the earliest Rob could do too.
 
I'm on now and actually will be able to play later than I thought as the last guy going tonight had to work an hour later than they thought so we ar e leaving at 11 mountain instead of 10.
 
There's a game going on right now and I'm waiting in the dressing room for it to finish to try and get a game in. 54 minutes elapsed. Must be a hell of a playoff game.
 
Good games last night. We got one playoff game in before Brandon and Alan had to go. We won, so we've got three more games to go. Rob said he has to work super late the next two nights, so we'll probably have to finish the run without him.

We played a few regular games to finish the night. Ltor awoke from his coma and rejoined the team, and we even got a game in with adawg. Everybody played well. We just gotta be careful not to get too aggressive and not stray from our areas too much. Against the bad teams, we can overwhelm them. But the good teams will see what we're doing and exploit it. It worked last night, but just something to keep in mind.

I'm really hoping we can finish the playoff run tonight because UFC 129 is tomorrow and there's no way I'm missing the GSP - Shields fight. I think Brandon said he had to work until 8 PM MDT, but since it's a regular hockey night, I should be on at 8 PM EDT for anyone who wants to warm up. Considering how long it takes to find a damn playoff matchup, the quicker we can get warmed up, the better.
 
[quote name='DarkTower80']Yeah, I'll head straight home after work so I should be on around 8:15-8:30.[/QUOTE]

So glad you could fit us into your BUSY Schedule tonight. :booty:

Be on tonight. Won't be on again till Monday how ever. Have to head over to Orlando for more hockey stuff. I swear, once you start playing in leagues, it never ends.

I see how it is. I'm off on Sunday, so you're just looking for any excuse to avoid TobiasFunke Anlrpst.
 
Hey guys, sorry for being out for so long. Finally finished with back surgery, and have my official discharge orders for June. Hopefully I'll be able to finally catch up and start playing with you guys again
 
[quote name='jza1218']I see how it is. I'm off on Sunday, so you're just looking for any excuse to avoid TobiasFunke Anlrpst.[/QUOTE]

I'll be home around 11PM IF that is any consultation to you!
 
Getting ready to hop on in a few minutes for anyone who wants to get warmed up early. I know last night it seemed like it took us a good 2 games to get on the same page. Hopefully we'll be a little sharper tonight.
 
Crazy ass night of hockey last night, guys! For those who weren't there, the drama was unbelievable. It was like if a reality show had sex with a soap opera. We already had one game under our belt, and after playing 3 warm up games against Elite teams, we decided to finally start our next playoff game even though Alan hadn't arrived yet. Naturally, with 12:51 left in the 1st period, he signed on, haha. The score was 1-1 going into the 3rd period, and then we stepped on the gas. Four goals in the period resulted in a 5-1 win for us.

In our next game, we didn't play great, but pulled out a 2-1(?) win. In the championship game, our opponents scored just after the 18:00 mark. All of a sudden, the game stuttered, and on the next faceoff, both defensemen, for BOTH teams had been dropped from the game. We had to play the rest of the game with our 3 forwards against their 2 forwards. We came back and took a 3-1 lead before giving up another goal to make it 3-2 (on a play where our AI LD was covering the right point...which is also where the AI RD was...thanks, EA

awesome night of games, we survived despite my spotty play. I didn't make a ton of mistakes I thought but I never really got a rhythm to make plays. My best game was that first warm-up!

Way to pull it out though, the last 2 title games were insane.
