You mean you haven't quit already?

 

[Montresor]

I'm playing OTP with randoms, and I'm ready whenever to play with you guys.

 

[Marvie_3]

I'll hop on after the Sabres/Flyers game.

 

[Montresor]

Yeah you know what, I'll watch Sabres/Flyers too. I'll be back on once that's over.

 

[RS4-]

[RS4-]

Lol GGs to tonight everyone; I think we only lost once. Good run!

 

[Milly79]

Love you guys.

 

[TheVisualizer]

gg's fellas, lots of fun tonight, i got my all-time +/- back in the positive after being as far down as -250 a couple months ago when we stunk and I played in a lot of bad OTP games. I am now +2 bitches

 

[Marvie_3]

Good games everybody. Dominating 8-0-1 run tonight including a 9-2 beatdown of that one team. Milly, Noz, and I had a sweet comeback OT win in the last game too.

Damn, I had 20 points (10G, 10A), shot 20%+, and was a +16 in 9 games.

And now I tangle with my greatest of foes, 2 sets of stairs.

I would have thought 2 french people would have been your greatest foes.

 

[Milly79]

I'll be on tonight around 10:30-11 CST.

 

[Milly79]

GGs, I guess. Felt we didn't play that well, myself especially. Wasn't making too many good plays, but scored a lot more goals than usual. 70 pts in 25 games, baby!

Positioning yo, you always have it. I like how we scored on the opening play/first shot of my first game tonight.

 

[Marvie_3]

Yeah we were off a bit in all but one game.

I blame Viz and his Harlem Globetrotter defense.

 

[TheVisualizer]

good games yall, some sloppy play but we got mostly W's

Milly, here's how to do those dekes we were talking about

BACKHAND DEKE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGAU4_83xcw
1) hold the puck out to your BACKHAND with RS
2) at same time hold diagonally UP and towards your BACKHAND with the LS
3) Press LB
4) Flick the RS FOREHAND - BACKHAND - FOREHAND really quick

FOREHAND DEKE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9UHQw6JQOQ
1) hold the puck out to your FOREHAND or CURL YOUR FOREHAND with RS
2) at same time hold diagonally UP and towards your FOREHAND with the LS
3) Press LB
4) Flick the RS BACKHAND - FOREHAND - BACKHAND really quick

The key to both is holding diagonally up on the LS and flicking the RS quickly on step #4.

There are 2 different variations for the FOREHAND one, if you just hold it out to your forehand he wont put it behind his back, you need to curl your forehand like you are taking a strong wrist shot before you do the deke

 

[Marvie_3]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah they were about as good as we were last year.

 

[Marvie_3]

Damn, my +/- with the club is up to +93. A few more solid games and I'll crack +100. My universal one is up to +171 now too. Much better than the -250 or so I was last year. :lol

 

[Milly79]

Games tonight?

 

[Marvie_3]

I'll be on tonight after the Blackhawks' season is over.

 

[TheVisualizer]

[Marvie_3]

Yeah until you quit again

 

[zsswimmer]

[Milly79]

No one quits while I'm here. I've committed my future to this club. I'm not returning to my club next season, and that's saying a lot.

Any tips on this achievement?

--- Win 75% or more of the faceoffs in a ranked versus match ---

I tried following the tips in Viz's old mega faceoff post but still the best I've done was won 20 and lost 8. Stats help a ton, correct? I usually pick the Blackhawks or Flyers because I believe they have the best centres through all four lines.

 

[Milly79]

Booooooooost it.

Play someone who is shitty at faceoffs like me?


Congrats on the 2nd round, Milly

 

[Milly79]

I'm ready for some action when the Hawks lose.

Thanks, though. My body is ready.

 

[Montresor]

I don't want to boost that one just yet... but yeah congrats Milly. ^_^

you have the right idea, for your 3rd and 4th line centers use the stick lift faceoff. The one other thing i didnt mention much in the guide is that you need to find out the timing early in the game adjusted for slight lag and stick with it.

You might hear me muttering about early, mid and late timing when I play center in clubs, thats what I am trying to do. I mentioned the timings for each faceoff zone but they can be affected by lag. Once I get the right timing in clubs with my 99 faceoff rating im only beatable by tieups and sticklifts and then it becomes mind games and rock-scissors-paper. It never gets that far tho...

 

[Milly79]

Viz yo. When you gotta go?

 

[TheVisualizer]

Viz yo. When you gotta go?

go where?

 

[Nozdeuce]

go where?

I'm down for some games whenever, I can't play too late tonight tho

Think that's what he was asking about, I'd play too. I need a break from Portal eventually before my brain melts. Turns out I wasn't anywhere near the end

 

[Milly79]

Said you couldnt be on late.

 

[TheVisualizer]

i gotta get off around midnight EST, can prob get 2 games in

 

[RS4-]

I'll log in now

 

[Milly79]

Coming.

 

[Marvie_3]

I think we've found our playoff roster. Milly, Noz, Viz, Dok, and I have been almost unstoppable as of late. In our last 20 games we've gone 17-2-1. Had 4 straight shutouts from last night to tonight where we outscored opponents 25-0. We've also hit the highest ranking we've ever had this late in a season. Great games all around.

 

[Milly79]

Glad I found a balance in scoring/making plays tonight. I still thought we played pretty sloppy. Noz/Marv kept trying to go through everyone with the RS and Dokk pinched a lot. Nothing terrible though, I just don't want that happening in the POs. I wanna win for once.

 

[Nozdeuce]

I liked everything, but I really liked Dok's pass to me in that last game. Me and Milly connected on some pretty sweet goals, and everyone got in on the cross creases. Goooood times.

Noz/Marv kept trying to go through everyone with the RS

Noz does a lot of things, unfortunately.

 

[RS4-]

Lol outscoring 24-1 or something in 4 games tonight. Ggs tonight everyone! Sorry about some lapses in that last game.

 

[Milly79]

It's nothing really bad, honestly. I know I have issues with my game, too. The one thing I like is the team game we have going. We use the points, etc. I also like the dumps when there's no other choice. That's more so what I'm getting at you two should do more. We are winning, so I guess it's doesn't matter. Hope this doesn't get taken to heart.
