GGs. You should start an all poutine diet as well.
Moop quote of the night:
Me: "Who is Vis?"
Moop: "African"
The much anticipated NHL 13 title update arrives early next week, check out the details below.
Gameplay Updates
Separated ability for backwards to forwards pivot for with puck and without puck and made it quicker to pivot without the puck.
Poke checking fixed bug causing players to always miss to the same side of the puck.
Goalies will be more aware of shots right off a faceoff in the offensive zone.
Goalies will have a harder time dealing with screens.
Ability to tune shooting back against the grain so it can be less accurate/effective than shooting with your weight behind the shot and moving towards your shooting direction.
Ability for players to be more susceptible to lose the puck when getting hit while skating backwards with the puck at speed.
Prevented desperation shots from knocking the puck away from the goalie minimizing the strategy of diving at the goalie to knock the puck loose.
Fixed shootout logic in GM Connected to include both locked and unlocked users.
Allowed BAP games to resume from simulation in the middle of a shift (fixed crash when sim intervening).
Fixed goals screening goalie stat.
Goalie has a better chance of squaring up to shots from far out.
Improved orientation of off-puck players in one-timer situations.
Improved AI behavior against a back skating puck carrier.
Fixed hit power sliders so only the hitters slider value matters.
Fixed AI players occasionally standing around looking at the puck when resuming from simulation in BAP.
Fixed BAP being taken off the ice after a short shift that results in a stoppage.
Fixed rapidly spinning players in BAP when resuming from simulation.
Ability to tune players puck control coming out of a 45 glide deke.
Ability to tune CPU pass error on long passes.
Improved puck hop behavior when it hits the boards.
Pokechecking effectiveness range tweaked. Players with better stick checking skill will stand out more compared to players with lover ratings in that category.
Tuned goalies and shooting accuracy to ensure shots in the slot/middle of the ice are more effective than shots from sharp angles.

my African ass is happy about this
Admittedly I haven't seen that in a while, but I don't play as often.
Also, I don't think I've ever seen EA fix a loop.
Games right now?
EDIT: Good games. Sorry for bailing on the chat and playing poorly in certain games overall. I was balancing playing, fighting with the gf over skype, and this stupid fly.
It was an odd night I had. I know at a few points I was trying to swat a fly that was on me (while I unknowingly had the puck) and as a result didnt pass to Moop/Legit.

ggs piled up a bunch of wins tonight and are starting to get back to playing our caliber of hockey
no worries Aces, I honestly didnt notice you were playing bad
one thing to focus on, and this may have been due to your distractions or not, but when you are breaking out along the boards looking for a long outlet pass from the D make sure you stay along the boards the entire time unless it's defended completely. There were a couple times I tried to hook you up with a long pass when you were wide open and you drafted/cut back towards the middle just enough to miss the pass. Gotta hug those boards for me.
edit: and here's a nice highlight from Moop and Aces tonight: http://youtu.be/t2s8yi1qFOU

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DON'T PLAY?
Honestly, it was probably both
. But I'll make a point of it tomorrow to catch myself from doing it. Thanks for the heads up. We did have some sick goals yesterday too. I'm on now if anyone is up from games, I'm on now.

ggs pimps, we are hitting our stride right before the playoffs, I'm feeling good about bringing home one of those meaningless banners this month
Good shit, Moop even scored on a mini breakaway, so you know it was a good night.
Nice
I think you being more of a passer and him sniper, it makes more sense anyway. Its easier to make passes on the side you're used to. Without passes the sniper cant score.
Showed especially with your 4 "primary" assists in that one game.. Lol
