The fuck happened here.

Alright, just got home, and congratz BigJonsson and Crazed for being owners of Sleeping Dogs now! I will contact whoever wins the next cup with their choices for prices! :) The choices, as mentioned in the other thread, were:

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods&Kings DLC (MSRP 30$)
Spec Ops: The Line (MSRP 30$)
Sleeping Dogs (MSRP 50$)

so they probably made a wise choice ;)

Oh, and also Mac's avatar happened.



tell that to Marvie, not me :p

Whether I make the playoffs or not is gonna be soooo close. 12 games left, 5 points ahead of 9th.

Seguin and 3 (!) other forwards coming back from injuries next sim.

I just don't get this game sometimes, my 2nd line center (Weiss, 83 OVR) is outscoring my 1st line center (Kopitar, 90 OVR)
GP and linemates. Weiss probably has two snipers on his wings, plus probably getting assists on Dallas Jackson's goals (who would be on your 2nd pairing and 2nd PP?).

That was a great signing btw. I went after the guy, too. Insane shooting stats.

My powerplay improved to 5th in the league after I had to call up my second glass cannon, Zaborsky. Now have two players (Vallerand&Zaborsky) with 90ish offense and low-70 athleticism stats on the PP :lol. Plus, Karlsson.


EDIT: shit, just realized the called-up Zaborsky had 5 pts in 6 games. NOT BAD.

Seguin's back and I went 5-1-1 this sim -nicholsonyes.gif-

Zaborsky went out with an injury, but not before improving to 9pts in 10 games. Galiardi on 69pts in 77 games. Nice. 3 players with 50+ points already, Karlsson is close to getting it too with 46pts.

Gonna make the playoffs for the first time yeyoooo. atm set to play Chicago.
 
Holy fuck, 5-0-1 this sim, think I went 4-1-1 in the last sim.....9-1-2 since the trade deadline :eek:

Still in 9th but tied in points with 8th place , 2 points out of 7th and 3 points out of 6th

This must be all thanks to Vokoun, if only there was a way to sort stats by last x number of games


Very important game against Carolina and Toronto to close out the season


DOesn't look like there will be any 50 goal scorers this season

BJ, rooting for you. Especially if it means one less CPU team in the playoffs. That'd be 13/16 controlled by us, better than last season I think.

Down 3 centers!!! YAY!!!!

Fuck this game.
Your top 6 centers are between 81-78. EA is just bringing balance to the universe.

Had my first above .500 sim in about two months. Lining up to play Tampa (Swance) or Winnipeg (Spectre).

This is my worst team in three seasons so naturally I'm going to win my first ever playoff series.

My team is relatively healthy and only one player (Michalek) out for the season.

No one will have a 40 goal scorer this season.

2nd in the east without a single person in the top 15 in scoring.

Edit: wooo injuries. Girardi be back in the middle of 1st round, Jackson maybe in 2nd round and Faulk out for 32 games. There goes my D before the playoffs start, last season it was my top forward line going out a week before playoffs started, this time its my D.

I'm curious of the presumed 5star prospect 1st overall will hold up or not. This draft looks deeper than last draft for sure.

:(

My team has had pretty great luck this year with regards to injuries but I'm sure it will run out anytime now.

If I don't win the cup, I'll feel like the Nucks irl. I built my team to win ASAP and I'll start getting tight with cap. Nothing the CPU or anyone else couldn't work with, but I'd like to move on if it doesn't work out.

But thats part of the fun, take risks to win now or fail and have to get creative :)

For what it's worth, Draft Priority/final draft ratings are out!


5 4.5star prospects.

1st overall is a C
then 3 RW's (the league definitely needs some :D)
1 goalie.

I understand that. But at the rate we've lost people in 3 seasons, it's hard for me to justify trying to build for the future. Who knows how long this will continue and see those awesome prospects come to fruition.

Going in without:
Mark Santorelli 36 games
Josh Bailey 49 games
Colin Wilson 45 games

So, there are apparently two Japanese 3.5star prospects in this year's draft class, Fukufuji and Wakabayashi. I want at least one of them.

Missed the Playoffs by a point.Really must have shit the bed on the stretch run. Eberle will be up for grabs next season.

Oh wow, you were like 6 points or so ahead of a spot before this sim, not? you went 3-7-0 in the last 10, yeah :/


Ended the season 9-1-0. Let's see what happens, this season's a success either way.

Going in without:
Mark Santorelli 36 games
Josh Bailey 49 games
Colin Wilson 45 games


Where would those guys have slotted in? Bottom 6?
