Yeah, I'd be down for a practice game or two as goalie sometime. I'm not sure the orthodox play style of the CPU would completely prepare anyone for people online, but if it'd make everyone feel better about trusting me between the pipes, I'm down.
I've put in a few hours in practice mode, sometimes fending off 5-0 powerplays for a real test. I'm not perfect but stopped something like 37 out of 40 shots on one of my best practice rounds.

gg's to all (Denogg, Zakkath, zsswimmer, peterboy, FOO G and Tontaku)
Welcome aboard FOO G, nice playmaking and help defense out there.
I thought we all played excellent D tonight except at the end of the last game when it all kind of fell apart. The highlight was actually in the last game when we killed penalties for the entire 1st period (even a couple 5on3's) against some tough competition, we had some good communication and positioning on those PKs, I don't think they even got a shot off on 4 or 5 straight powerplays.
After starting out a little sloppy, we put together 2 really nice games tonight with 4 people playing where everyone was unselfish and we had some good possession time and scoring chances, kudos guys. I think it was me, zswimmer, denogg and peterboy, those were real fun to be a part of.
I'll be tomorrow but not until after 11pm EST, see ya then
oh yeah bumpkin, if you want some practice with goalie, just jump into some drop-in games with randoms, they usually play pretty crappy defense so you will see a lot of shots and be able to hone your skills, that's what I've been doing recently.

I play with the classic camera and just have a feel for where I'm at when I'm off screen (you can tell how far as the triangle/diamond above your guy will get larger when you get closer). If you get lost you can always press the back button and focus the camera on yourself.

Now which button is the "back" button?
its called "back" but its pretty much "select" on every other console, the button next to "start" that isn't ever used for anything

I'm pissed that we managed to find a way to lose to that last team, all 3 of their human players were terrible, they did absolutely nothing all game long but got 2 miraculous bounces and a gift breakaway when the puck went thru my stick at the blue line...

I have a softball game tonight, but I may hop on around 10pm EST for a couple of games.
yea, we should've won both those games. i blew some prime chances by not making one extra move around the net. throwing backhand shots into the goalies chest, etc, etc. sucks.TheVisualizer said:
ill finally be getting my pro card today so im expecting this extra 400 points to really put me into elite status as a player!
Marvie_3 said:I'm around. Don't really have the energy to play NHL though. Friend came into town over the weekend so I was basically on a bender for two straight days and I'm just tired now. :lol
Not sure how much I'm going to be on this week either. New Vegas comes out Tuesday.

gg zsswimmer
quality comeback, I was playing too passive as Center and decided to play angry and aggressive in the 3rd period cuz I didnt want to lose to those guys after they got that wide angle one-timer goal on us. Nice touch on the wrister from the slot, announcers were clowning you afterwards talking about how surprised they were to see a tough guy score :lol

Yeah, its always something like 'He finally took his hands outta the ice bucket' or something, but I'm used to it, played tough guy last year too. :lolTheVisualizer said:
Nice pass btw, thats where I've gotten all 7(?) of my goals, pretty much from a high slot wrist shot. Good read on the play, I agree we were too passive so I tried to get myself involved in that one. After that win I unlocked the 'Grinder' boost slot.
Anyways, bout to play again if anyone wants to hop on. Should be on for awhile, nothin to do.
