We haven't won, so why keep trying? Aside from the good run early in the season to the finals, we've been 2nd round heroes. It gets old after awhile. I can't blame him.

Kinda hard to get any consistency going when the people who play the most bail out in the playoffs.

I wouldn't say consistency is the problem. We have always ran into some good goalies during the playoffs, while ours sucks it up. FWIW, we usually out-chance all the teams we play during the playoffs. We just have 0 luck.

Playoff roster:

Viz
Legit
Marvie
Show
Swim

Backups:

Aces
Milliford
Everyone else

Can someone refresh me on how the playoffs work? If we lose round 1, do we get to keep playing for the next few days or is it, we lose, we're out for the month?

I see Viz is out so does that mean, I'm in?

You lose, you're done. You can continue playing regular season games which count for nothing at that point.

Yes, you're in.

Nice alt, Marvie.

yea just keep pointing your finger at me...

I end up playing playoffs damn near every month anyway and as I've mentioned to others who have cried about our lack of playoff success or made excuses, we have put good teams out there with arguably our best players for most of the months and still lost every time

I'm not playing mainly because the last week or so of games I've played everyone has regressed to being god awful, actually pitiful would be a better description of our play of late, myself included

no use in me even wasting my time waiting through 3 hours of searching for clubs to inevitably lose the first game because we cant stop simple cross crease passes and can barely get the puck into the offensive zone anymore

I think the problem is I'm not taking enough 5 minute majors and not hitting enough posts. I'll hit the practice arena and work those skills up!

I feel like we should play a normal game or two the same night before we hit the playoffs. Sometimes we have 1-3 people coming in cold and having not played in a few days or longer, Not to mention it's nice to get a feel for how your partner is on Defense in terms of how they're going to play.

Alright. We won't bother then.

:lol I'm up for the playoffs and so is Aces, so if we get swim and show we're good, might as well make a run for it even if we get bounced early, and like Rev said we can play a few normal games before.

Not sure when people are planning (if at all playing tonight) but figured I would saying something. Tonight isn't good for me and I'll be heading to bed around 10:30-11:00. Not sure when people plan on getting on but just letting you all know.

Does anyone actually care about the playoffs? Or winning them? Seems a lot closer to being crowned King of the Gathering of Juggalo's than it does Best Hockey Team In The Universe

I think the canned chicken pages were less weird than this one..

Well, there are different Creepy-GAFs. You can go join the bronies or furries.
I'll stick to this thread and it's gooey chicken.

I can play tonight, but I'm moving tomorrow and probably won't have a connection for a day or two, so you'll need to sub someone in for me if you play after tonight.

Holy shit me and Laserbot totally posted on the same page!

Swim makes me feel better about my canadian internet <3
 
My team finally won a playoff final in April as well. Granted, it was in the Amateur Division (we were in the top half the Pro in March, but got instantly sent down to the A's in April, did EA adjust the ranking system?) Also, we played the 4 games in the last few hours that the playoffs were available. That probably limited the competition as well, though none of us have Legends 3s yet.

This is how it is during the day, when night comes around Sunday and Monday prepare for dial up speeds...

Still slower than 67% of US. It seems 5Mb/512Kb is the norm in Georgia unfortunately.
 
well the game will finish in 2 1/2 hours (fucking slow ass internet) so I can play if anyone will be around...

I'm not sure if I wanna drive 20 minutes to my parents' house just to use their fast internet lol
