GAFHL Versus League - NHL 13 GM Connected (x360)

And Vancouver ends Buffalo's win streak at 5 games.

A heck of a defensive game by BeanMan. He held me to just 17 shots.

We were scoreless until 7:00 minutes left in the third, when bad penalties inevitably killed my team. On his fourth power play of the period, Sullivan buried a rebound that was the eventual game winner.

Great goaltending all-around with Pavelec posting the shutout and Backstrom keeping me in it for most of the game.

Good game, BM.

It was a sick game. You got pretty unlucky with all of the penalty calls.

I hope I didn't seem cheesy or anything though. I'm ranked 50 something in ranked vs and always have to transition from cheesing it up to legitimate play haha.


EDIT: You know how to use the body on this game, haha. Crushing me left and right.

Agreed. Sometimes those are the breaks. The CPU really seemed to enjoy high sticking your players. I'm not sure if my strategy has anything to do with it. Maybe more aggressive strategies lead to more CPU teammate penalties.

Not at all. Very realistic. That actually makes me feel a lot better about losing to you.

I got a lot of chances to hit because your players always had the puck, haha.

In other news, I suffered my second loss of the night to Revenant and the Jets.

The final was 2-1 and once again I was outshot/outplayed, but Backstrom kept me in it. I hope this guy's leading the Vezina race. He made some amazing saves in a game that could have easily been 4-1 or 5-1.

Good game, Revenant.

definitely a fun game, you had a really nice goal off the forecheck where you caught me sleeping in my own zone with sloppy play, after that I just went into full trap mode to protect the lead haha.

Shit, sorry Phi. Got roped into something and just got home. I can play anytime tomorrow between 11 and 2:30 EST, and then whenever after 5pm EST. We have 2 games and I'd like to get 'em both in.

Schuey, can you play tomorrow?

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Smiley, I'll try to catch you after your games with Phthisis

done!

Good game Phthisis, Columbus takes the season series lead back with a 2-1 victory. Among else, thanks to a DOMINATING physical game from Eriksson. who had 7 hits. 4 of those came within a 1min span. It was glorious.

I had no idea starting out that Crosby was injured. Then you took out my only other good center, Prospal, behind the play! Why does this game recognize every tripping penalty but no interference? AND that delay of game penalty shouldn't have been one since I was in the neutral zone. Wonder if it was an anomaly or if they've got it programmed wrong.

Otherwise two good scrappy games. Hiller played well enough this time, too

[edit] oh you bastard. prospal out for 30 games with a concussion

Yeah Hiller made a few awesome stops. Good, tight games. For record's sakes, Nashville won the first game 2-1 (my only goal came 8seconds before the end :() and the 2nd game in shootout. Although I absolutely dominated that OT :( gg's!

:lol ouch, sorry :D The funny part about that injury is that he didn't injure himself when falling, but his own stick somehow got propelled into his face and that's how he got injured :lol. He fell onto his stick and it somehow bounced up into his face :lol

Yeah I was being a goof in OT. Generally I keep accidentally passing the puck backwards into my own zone which usually leads to a break away. Gotta find out what I'm doing that causes that... and stop.

Nah dude that was just the weird animation. Him getting hit was the concussion.

I like to think it was the stick. :lol

Also of course Brayden Schenn would be the one that scored the first goal :lol

Sorry guys. I have to jump out of this league. Too many games for me to play even 50% of my schedule between the sim days with life getting busy. I may join later on but for now, I have to be out.

I'm going to run the SIM around 2 am EST,if people are having a lot of trouble getting all their games in we can always switch back to Sunday - Sunday.

Ugh, the lag..

Edit: good game Rizzle. That save by Halak was mental. Dove across to take away the gimme open net, then spins and knocks the puck away Price style.

I had some good pressure, just couldn't capitalize.

Oh btw, Red, do you wanna do the same thing Marvie did in the Simmed league and turn off waivers? Since the AI sucks with sending people down waivers unwantingly.

Good game, Smiley.

It was close all the way through. Lots of good chances for both teams. Backstrom bailed me out a few times.

Yeah, close game apart from the first 2 minutes in the third period where you scored twice :D

Looking to trade

(LW) Steen - TWF - 83ovr - 28yo - $3.36m x 2yrs
(C) Cogliano - TWF - 80ovr - 25yo - $2.39m x 2yrs

Would like a comparable 80+ RW in return for Steen or Cogliano, but am willing to hear other offers. Definitely wanting another impact player in return, not picks or prospects below 75ovr.

Sorry Phthisis... my connection died on me and is still dead. I have no idea what happens now.

Did it give you credit for the W? You earned it from that first game.

Pretty sure your simming forward killed a game me and Rizzle were in the middle of playing :-/

Oh well. Nice to know what happens if that occurs again with anyone else in the league.

Oh shit, sorry guys. Didn't realize anyone was still playing, I'll definitely ask first next time.

To be fair, we were cutting it a little close. It might be a good idea for anyone playing that close to sim time to make a quick post so Red knows there is a game going on.

Smiley and Bean are my only games this period. Tonight after MNF would be good for me.

I have a small window right now to get a game in if you're on bean.
