Maybe we could sign Hiller as a backup, repeat a little history taking Anaheim's run down goalies.
I wouldn't be against Hiller returning for cheap

Basically if you want to play "hockey" then you're good. You won't be playing hockey though.How are the recent NHL games on the consoles? I haven't owned a console since PS2, but now that I have the new consoles I'm looking forward to playing NHL '15. Worth buying or are they bad?
Meh, he's been so overpaid it's hard to care. He'll take a discount from his obnoxious contract? What a sweetheart...

$6.6 million a year is not really much of an overpayment considering he's the 36th highest scorer in the NHL over the life of the contract.

I think a team starving for offense like Buffalo or NJ would give him 7 years $49 million. So if he takes less than that from Colorado it would be a discount.
Bishop out indefinitely right? I feel for you man, if Varlamov was injured we would not stand any chance in hell against any team.

I think the EA hockey games are pretty great. But yeah it's not a perfect simulation. My PS3 broke so I haven't been able to play NHL 14. Looking forward to NHL 15 on the PS Cuatro
More than just about anyone else in that crowd.
I diidn't know Smash 88 went to the game.
It definitely is. It's also misleading since he was always top line even when he was underperforming so O'Reilley, Duchene, landeskog,etc., all kept being put with him because he was their top guy. He was lazy and struggling to score 20g per season and after the seasons he had before his payday is crap. 18g isn't worth 6.6mil. It's nice that their are desperate teams, but I'm not sure how that makes him a good value. If desperate teams grossly overpaying is your benchmark then you must not watch much hockey. He's had a large improvement this year but his contract was still terrible.$6.6 million a year is not really much of an overpayment considering he's the 36th highest scorer in the NHL over the life of the contract.

There is no part of those games that is a simulation of hockey.I think the EA hockey games are pretty great. But yeah it's not a perfect simulation. My PS3 broke so I haven't been able to play NHL 14. Looking forward to NHL 15 on the PS Cuatro
They tried that already and it was fucking terrible.I'm still waiting for these new EA games to release an updated NHL 94 with online as a bonus or something.
I would be so happy.
Seriously. Not a remake or mode. Just fucking port the damn game over and change the player and team names to comport with current licenses. I refuse to believe there's a good reason why this hasn't been done.I'm still waiting for these new EA games to release an updated NHL 94 with online as a bonus or something.

Just give me another 3 vs 3 Arcade featuring superstar Nik Antropov.

Gotta Go Fast.
After all the top down NHL games since 94, I remember 98 being an absolutely game changer.

Intros with live footage have been a thing of the past for so long now.
Refs were so two faced all game. Call Koivu for losing balance and pushing net off. Johnson does the same thing? No penalty. Why the FUCK wasn't that face off in the Colorado side? Why was it in the neutral zone?
Barrie was directly interfering with both Brodziak and Cooke by the textbook definition on the game winning goal as well. The goal should have been called off and the Avs should have gotten a penalty.
Dumb. So dumb.
Johnson was trying to prevent a goal from happening and couldn't avoid displacing the net. Koivu had every opportunity to avoid displacing the net and he did it anyway.63.1 Delaying the Game A player or a team may be penalized when, in the opinion of the Referee, is delaying the game in any manner.
A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player who delays the game by deliberately displacing a goal post from its normal position. The Referee shall stop play immediately when the offending team gains possession of the puck.
Officially Habs-Age new victory gif.This gif will stay until Bergevin is gone. So good.
Officially Habs-Age new victory gif.
I feel pretty good about tonight, this team isn't bothered by anything, and I'm expecting Price to rebound after last game. With that being said, they'll lose 6-1.
Interested to see what FUBAR says next. So angry, so convinced, yet so wrong.Was waiting for this. First of all, Barrie was hit to the ice and as a result slid into another player as well. Not his fault. Evidence:

Yeah, I can't wait for it to be the same shit except slightly better looking. Pretty much expecting Wii U graphics. Not quite on par with the Xbone/PS4, but better than the last gen.
Meanwhile, at 2K...
:lol

And yet it clearly didn't happen that way.Not making excuses because we lost the game other ways but straight from our beat writer
"I just watched this play again. Barrie skated in the slot after making the pass, undercut Cooke, knocks him to the ice, and then also bowls over Brodziak. No call by either ref on undeniable interference. This happens just as MacKinnon fed a wide-open Stastny for the winner through Ilya Bryzgalovs wickets."
What does one Minnesota beat writer's interpretation matter when we can see what happened with our own eyes?Not making excuses because we lost the game other ways but straight from our beat writer

NFL 2K though... I'd pay so much for it. SO MUCH (59.99)
You're both wrong. Kid wasnt even looking at the guy who hit him to the ice. Deal with the loss and for fuck sake don't cite beat writers as gospel.Dude watch the video. It happened exactly that way. It doesn't even matter cause you won but to say fubar is wrong on that is incorrect.

Well now you all know what I do for a living.
Fans that disagree with you: Avs, Blues, Canucks, Habs, HabsNo I'm not wrong use your fucking eyes. And our beat writer is often sited as one of the nations best so yes i am going to cite him. And i already said it didn't matter because we lost in other ways too. Learn to read baby.
He had their best fucking players... He better have some goddamn assists. He wasn't paid 6.6mil a year to barely hit 50 points per season, most of which were assists on other people playing well. END OF STORY. No Avs fan has been ecstatic on paying that much for the performance he put up. Leeching off of their top players whom always had to play with him helped his assist numbers. Are you seriously trying to conflate Joe Thornton with Stastny? Are you fucking drunk right now? Please stop talking about something you clearly know nothing about. God damn.Good thing he also scored some assists in the past five years; 176 of them. You can't just ignore more than half of a player's production when determining his worth. By your logic Joe Thornton is grossly overpaid.
Do you mean baby as in cry baby or like "hey baby tryna slap in the bathroom right now?"No I'm not wrong use your fucking eyes. And our beat writer is often sited as one of the nations best so yes i am going to cite him. And i already said it didn't matter because we lost in other ways too. Learn to read baby.
