Just the usual EA bullshit mixed with some of my patented alcohol-fueled rage.

I have to work almost all day otherwise I'd be on.

Well, maybe you should stop watching so many Miami Mercenar....I mean Miami Heat games. You'd have plenty of time for hockey then.

I know where you were going with that. Just so you know FF7 is God's finest creation and Cloud Strife was a motherfucking MERCENARY

If Cloud Strife was in the NBA he'd be on the Miami Heat

 

[ph33nix]

So one of the opponents on the other team we beat 3-0, messaged and said "youre garbage kid get so lucky"

so i messaged back just now and said

"you're right we couldn't be luckier running into defense as terrible as yours"

:lol they were prob steaming

gg's swim and pheenix, we ran off like 3 or 4 straight, all pretty much dominating the entire game each time.

swim, I was bout to tell you in the chatroom that when I win faceoffs back to you in the offensive zone try to skate out towards the middle a bit before you look to shoot a slapshot, this way there is a better chance you can get a lucky one to go in more often and also a better chance we can get a good redirect. Right now you're mostly shooting from angles that are too sharp, you had a nice blast tho today...see what happens when you listen to me, dumping those attribute points into slapshot and changing the stick blade already paying off for you

Yeah but it still a bit low. I dumped a pretty good portion in puck control and hand-eye (both take a lot of points for tough-guy character). So my slaps are only 75 accuracy and 90 strength. If I can get legends I'll dump all 400 into slapshot accuracy probably.

I could def see the 90 power, that thing was flying compared to those weak ones you used to throw at the net. Didn't hear Bill Clement clowning you either for once about being a non-threat on offense :lol 75 accuracy is good enough for now, do you remember how high you put hand-eye? I wouldn't go any higher then low 80's, its mainly a skill forwards need.

Oh, those two aren't high. I think puck control is 70 and hand eye is 65 or 70. Problem is you start off at 50 with tough guy character so by the time I'm at 60 I gotta put like 40 points for each level :lol

yeah I forgot how low tough guy stats are, you ever tried defensive d-man or two-defender to see if you could build a better all-around skater while still keeping ur toughness?

Sorry, must of clicked on the wrong tab. Would love an invite though.

Edit: It's also worth noting I've never participated in any organized NHL online yet, so I'm new with the set up. Only with MLB 10 The Show have I done anything =P

Does the performance tracker update slower than real time? Before one game I had:
B+ overall
A position
B+ teamplay
C+ stats

After a game where my stats went A+ A+ B+ my performance tracker dropped to this:
B overall
A- position
B teamplay
C stats

WTF, I hate this shit. It's going to be a fucking NHL 12 before I can get this shit up to A-, for fucks sake.

It updates every 3 games I believe. That's why the grades seem so wonky sometimes.

I should be around more this week if you want to try for it. Anyone else close to 150?

 

[Zakkath]

Not even close to 100 But, I'll come and play a few games this week. Just send me a PM if we got a few people available... Just not after 11:30pm when I'm about to go to sleep

I'm going to be on all this week so if you see me on just shoot me a message.

 

[Marvie_3]

Alright, if we can wrangle up a 3rd(hopefully someone close to 150) whose willing to waste a little time, we can get your legend card.

 

[bumpkin]

I'm going to try to get on some this week. Friday I have the day off and my wife is going Black Friday shopping with her mother and sister in-law, so I'll have a good portion of the day to do whatever I please.

 

[Marvie_3]

I have to work 10 hours on black friday.

 

[Marvie_3]

Anyone else playing tonight? There's no way I'm sitting through another fucking NFC East game.

I'll be on after all seven Thrashers fans and I watch the Thrash vs Islanders game :lol

Thrashers fans have doubled in number!

god bless you 8 poor souls, I'd rather poke both my eyes out and eat a shit sandwich than watch those two marquee teams clash

 

[zsswimmer]

Thrashers fans have doubled in number!

At this rate we might hit 100 fans by the end of the year!

god bless you 8 poor souls, I'd rather poke both my eyes out and eat a shit sandwich than watch those two marquee teams clash

Yeah its a super boring game. During a commercial break, one of the announcers for the Isles feed said something like [cuz his mic was still on]:

"Is it spring training yet? Someone tell me how this game goes, not that I particularly care"

Whoops :lol

Thrashers aren't too bad this year though. They smashed the caps Friday 5-0

 

[Marvie_3]

Did some roster cleanup. Moved some people off the main roster due to inactivity/never joining in the first place. If you're one of these people and still want to join/play with the club, please post and let us know whats going on.

For now, these jersey #'s are now available again if anyone wants to switch:

2, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 55, 77, 81, 88, 91, 94

god bless you 8 poor souls, I'd rather poke both my eyes out and eat a shit sandwich than watch those two marquee teams clash

I'd watch a Thrasher/Islanders game 100 times in a row before I watch another NFC East vs. NFC East game. :lol

 

[sefskillz]

i'd be up for some games tonight

 

[Zakkath]

That was a great way to come to the game tonight. I had not played in over 2 weeks, but we won that first game 5-0. w00t !

1st star : Zakkath 1G 4A
2nd star: F.Felix 2G 2A
3rd star: FOO G 2G 2A

We then lost the 2nd game when Marvie came in But then we came back strong for the 3rd one and won 1-0. GGs !

 

[Marvie_3]

What a fuckin bullshit loss there swim. Team of two french cocksuckers glitching all game and they win it with 30 seconds left because our goalie decides to let the puck trickle through his legs.

Yeah it was pretty bad in 10, never played '9. Fuck EA for allowing glitchers to prosper in this game though, ridiculous. Oh well, at least we dominated that first game.

No doubt. I want nothing new in NHL 12 except much better goalie AI and shooting/puck physics. Everyone else on that development team needs to do nothing but fix problems.

Agreed, and make it so people can't just stand there jacking off in the goalies crease. They need to incorporate physics in the goalies so there are penalties for being all over the goalie. Better physics, better fighting, better shooting. All that and I'll be set.

Oh and a better FUCKING OTP LOBBY

Oh fuck. This too. 3 years running and the OTP lobby is still a fucking nightmare. I haven't played a full 6v6 game in over a month.

what a surprise, let me guess they were prob from Quebec too. I'm gonna start being picky when the team select comes up, if I see QC in anyone's gamertag I'm backing out. The whole goddamn province is made up of the worst glitchers I've ever seen...

Yeah, they were from QC and yes everyone from there glitches like crazy.

Equally as annoying are the fucktards called "Snipez McDangles" or some other fuckstain name.

 

[Zakkath]

Well, me and Foo G are from Quebec, so... should we start glitching to fit the stereotype ? Most of the teams we play against are glitching, so let's not fall into stupid Qc bashing. The reason you might come with this conclusion is because you notice that Qc tag right away and Hockey is popular here and it's probably where this game sells the most and if you're on the east coast zone, chances are you might end up playing against teams from Qc a lot.

 

[Marvie_3]

Well, me and Foo G are from Quebec, so... should we start glitching to fit the stereotype ?

Yeah, it'd probably help our goal scoring out. If you look at our +/- numbers, you'd see that we our offensively challenged. :lol

 

[Zakkath]

Well, we won 2 games fair and square tonight and the one we lost 4-1, we totally sucked. Simple as that. We just need to be play good more consistently.

 

[Marvie_3]

In response to your edit above....shut up, frenchie! J/k

Its just easier to make broad generalizations about things. :lol

Yeah, if I could make a suggestion, try to stick to your side of the ice whenever possible. It looked like you were chasing the puck a little bit tonight and ended up on the left side of the ice. We ended up getting too bunched up and I think that hurt our offense at times. We had a good forecheck going but once the puck got into the neutral zone, that's when things went a bit wrong. I know you said you hadn't played in awhile so I'm guessing it was just being out of practice. No big deal though. We had a bunch of scoring chances tonight but neither of us could put enough of them away. :lol

we should throw both you and FOO G off the team, you disgrace your province with your legit skills

Definitely not all people from Quebec are glitchers :lol but I do notice that people that put Qc in their name usually play like douchebags =/
