Unsportsmanlike on the Blues bench.. lol

Be A GM is my mode of choice. Once I get the October roster update for each year, I'm in.

Player Morale is a neat idea, but it seems to have very little impact from what I'm seeing so far. It affects their ratings, either by one or two points plus or minus. They either complain or brag, and you either pat their back or tell them to shut up and that affects their morale level. Poor play also affects it. I haven't gotten to the point where a player requested a trade, if that's even a prompt available.

Still no All-Star game. I'm not too mad about this, but it would be nice to have.

Pre-season is back in the game. I don't really care for it.

Menus are a little better to navigate in Be A GM.

Okay cool. Sounds like I am going to grab it then!

 

[Fata1moose]

0/2 on the PP? Gosh what a weird game.

 

[Pikma]

Looks like spending two whole periods in their own zone took their toll on those St. Louis fuckers.

 

[zroid]

Oh, Virtanen is now confirmed to be going

 

[Fata1moose]

Inversely, we saved energy by only having one shot on goal in an entire period last night.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

It's a good thing all games are now only a period long. Back to back wins boys!

 

[Quick]

Shit, I didn't even answer your question. I think it goes as deep as the pre-NHL 15 games.

Usually they only show up in the 3rd, got that shit out of the way early.

 

[Socreges]

Virtanen confirmed to be going to the Juniors. Sweet

 

[MultiJhonny]

Nah you did. Dynasty mode= Be a GM. And that is all I play anyway.

But yeah I have been putting it off due to how bad NHL 15 was and didn't want to get burned again

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I wish we had another 3v3 NHL Arcade game. They could rename it to All Star mode for the next EA NHL game. With all the silly pickups included

 

[Red_Man]

Looking at the Pacific Division

Edit:

Canadies first-round draft choice off to Finland with Team Canada for world juniors. #HabsIO

Sweet

 

[zroid]

Edit: Sweet

just in case you didn't know, there's still going to be 2 D cuts AFTER they play their exhibition matches in Finland

Right, hopefully he makes it. Haven't had a chance to watch him since he missed all of preseason.

Me too.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Was that actually Holden? What the fuck he made a good play.

 

[Chris R]

Avs looking decent outside of the whole "power" play debacle

 

[Marvie_3]

Why the hell is NHL Network showing the canadian feed of this game?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

If we could just like play some defense that'd be great. Fucking what are you assholes doing.

 

[Fata1moose]

Guenin is so bad, how he stays in the lineup is beyond me.

 

[RC]

You shut up and enjoy Rogers Hometown hockey.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Where would we be without his constant pointing and standing still?

 

[zroid]

I think it's because it's this week's Hometown Hockey game

 

[Fata1moose]

He continually makes mistakes without consequence. Whereas if someone like Zadorov makes a mistake he's out of the lineup for a month.

 

[Marvie_3]

You shut up and.......shut up.



Mashinter still in the lineup for absolutely no reason.

 

[Razorskin]

KEEEEFFFFFFFF

 

[Razorskin]

Kane got an assist for reasons.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Kane got an assist for reasons.

25 Points!!

 

[Fata1moose]

Avs sitting back and doing nothing with a lead. Just playing their identity.

 

[Marvie_3]

Kane got an assist for reasons.

Because his lord and savior tim tebow granted him divine powers for assisting on goals.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

NHLgaf how is NHL 16 any good this year? I remember last year it was horrible and stripped of a ton of features. I mainly play offline dynasty mode and stuff so I was wondering if it was worth it.

Gameplay is still Jank. awful defense AI, crap goalies etc... It's like watching the leafs this season.

lotso of modes tho.

 

[Chris R]

If we could play a game that didn't involve 60+ shots coming our way I'd be so happy

 

[Fata1moose]

Let's sit back, because that has never bitten us in the ass. Fucking Tanguay.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

The Blues are losing, yay. Except Chicago is winning against Vancouver, boo.

 

[Xeteh]

Missed most of the game because I was watching the Packers, glad the Avs are winning!

Shattenkirk destroyed Duchene on that 1on1. God damn.

 

[Chris R]

Duchene is bleeding, should have been a penalty

 

[Fata1moose]

Yay! We hit an empty net.

 

[Chris R]

Avs win! Yesssss

 

[Fata1moose]

Only Varlamov deserved that win. That was ugly.

 

[Red_Man]

On my phone so I can't post it, but Mirtle put up an article today for the Glove and Mail that basically says Stamkos is hitting free agency, and that it's the most likely outcome right now. I didn't realize it was believed to be that far gone already, that's harsh for the Lightning if they can't even trade him.

No GM would make a huge trade offer for him knowing he's set on hitting FA now.

Best chance in this scenario is he becomes a rental for a playoff team for a low-to-medium-sized return.

Yzerman potentially losing both St. Louis and Stamkos. Wow.

Crazy. Pretty shitty for the Bolts, but I'm glad though. Like I always said, stars hitting UFA is good for the league.

Losing both captains between 3 seasons is crazy. I wonder if Bergevin would try to make a move for him as a rental if he's legimately available.

 

[Marvie_3]

Rundblad with a beauty of a turnover there

 

[Marvie_3]

Bickell scored? Ok then

Looks like Rasmussen stole that goal. :lol

 

[zroid]

Here's the link to that article btw http://www.theglobeandmail.com/spor...from-the-tampa-bay-lightning/article27741879/

 

[iLLmAtlc]

hmm just took a look at the article. not sure how much substance is there, seemed more like reasoned speculation.

from what i gathered it was about a rift with cooper and also yzerman tried to move stamkos to buffalo before the NMC kicked in.

it sounds to me like he talked to people off the record who are close to Stamkos, and they indicated he wants to leave

of course, that's still second hand info, so yeah

 

[iLLmAtlc]

article was being weasely about it imo. it'd be one thing if he reported as a fact that stamkos wants out of town, but he's just kinda guessing, so meh.
