gg's zzswim, we had a pretty epic comeback down 3 goals. I scored a nice slapshot from the slot, then got a redirect off of a zzswim slapper. Our CPU sniped one to tie it up. All that hard work and then I start lagging out and gave up another breakaway goal to them and they took the lead again at 3-4. We found a way to score 2 more before the end of regulation to win 5-4.

I might be on later after the Phillies game depending on whether the GAF FIFA club is getting together tonight.


Hey Dmorr, I noticed you finally took a break from Halo Reach to boot up NHL, sent you an invite to the club if you are still interested, ain't played with you since the good ole Team 2 days...

I can't believe you lagged out of the epic comeback, that sucks man. Seems like we always gotta play from the deficit too, our CPU sucked in some of the games.

If it isn't lag, there is some sort of rock, paper, scissors effect that sometimes negates anything and everything I do to stop someone. Best yet, when i see the replay, it often shows me further away from the play than what I was seeing live during the play. My 2 cents.

ggs last night, Vis. That third game's outcome was really my fault, I think. Their shot got blocked by the goalie, but I'm pretty sure I was trying to poke the puck away and it deflected right into the net. We should have had the win in regulation; it going to OT and I guess the eventual outcome were on me. Sorry man. :(

In terms of trying to "stay on" people on defense to try and stop one-timers and rebound shots, what's the best thing to actually do? Knowing that a wayward poke can send it right into the net just makes me nervous about doing anything other than standing around.

I might be on at some point tonight, though I'm not sure when. I have friends coming over and it's probably not exactly polite to be like "hey, watch me play NHL online with other friends." :lol

no problem on that game the other day, we should have won but shit happens, I didn't think it was your fault at all

As far as defense it's all about being in the right position and poke checking, every once in awhile you might poke one in your own net but don't let that discourage you. Poking is a lot more effective than standing around.

Switched from playmaker to 2 way forward and its already paying off in the 5 or so dropins I played. I still suck shit trying to beat a defender on the rush, but maybe that will come

Fallout 3. It's a long game so it'll keep you busy for quite awhile. I'm 600+ hours into it after several playthroughs. :D

I can't blame my absence on watching baseball. I was playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and watching Dexter. :D

Well, that all was after I decided to visit the local ice rink with my wife to try and attempt to skate in real life (she can skate really well, I'm the newbie). Good god, is it hard! I found out later that she posted on her Facebook about it and said something to the effect of me holding onto the boards "like it was my job". :lol

I don't think you have to worry about the boot in Madden.

Apparently unlocked my power forward boost pack after playing a game on defense. Not too great of a pack though, 77 overall

Do you have your player type set to power forward? That could be affecting the over if its not.

Quadruple OT Loss. Here's my thoughts on that:
fuuuu.gif


We are so unlucky. It's 2-1 in the 2nd period and peter hits the post. In the 3rd they tied it with a garbage post shot goal.

GGs to vis and peter. I saw that you said it was your first time back in awhile. You did pretty good, I thnk 1 goal and an assist. I do have some suggestions though. You gotta make sure to cycle to puck around in the offensive zone, way too many turnovers in that last game. If there isn't any room to shoot, just throw it back to one of the defenders. But you played pretty well for not playing for awhile :p

Vis what can I say? Our luck is so shitty. We lost two games where we didn't score AT ALL however outshooting our opponents. Our CPU faceoffs blew donkey dong. You should play more center, you were dangling the shit outta those guys playing as a d-men :lol . I remember you scored like 4 goals in 1 game played center one time. Seems like we run into shit luck every game we play :(

Nah for rustiness that was not bad at all. In fact, you almost had 2 goals, with that one ringing off the pipe in the 2nd period of our last game. Just remember that there is always someone at the blue line you can throw back to if you don't have to room to skate or shoot. I get a decent amount of assists by just throwing a weak wrister at the goalie and letting one of the forwards net an easy rebound.

I didn't notice many bad turnovers, main thing is what zswim said, you gotta look to go up the wall and drop the puck back to the d-man more often, and also try not to skate out to the d-man spot at the corner of the blue line and crowd them. Good spacing is crucial to us being able to move the puck around the offensive zone and get better scoring chances.

Also same thing I tell every winger on our team, don't be afraid to go up the wall and around behind the net as that's a tricky spot to defend and you can make things happen by playing around behind the net.

I will be around tonight if anyone wants to play. I am interested in playing Winger in games where we might have extra defensemen.

That's why you need me! :D Well, except when I can't quite nail the timing to compensate for latency.

Either way, sorry I haven't been on much since Saturday night. Early in the week is never good for me.

Yeah we need someone to play center. The offensive CPU we played with were not all that great. But anyways, I won't be on tonight, jiu jitsu practice and then the Thrashers (yes the thrashers :lol !) play at 10:30
