Just wanted to put this out there:
http://www.operationsports.com/foru...594228-cycloniacs-truesim-nhl-13-sliders.html
These sliders are the shit. Probably played around 30+ games with them now and they are pretty incredible.
Hope someone else likes em.

I only play EASHL anymore, I should get back to messing with sliders. Its just too satisfying shutting down the no back check cherry pickers that crash the net and shoot top shelf every time.

None of this regular season bs even matters if none of us can perform consistently in the playoffs.
Shut up, LA.
Shut up, LA.
Mention games that matter, like UT2004 or Battlezone. (The late 90's version, otherwise known as one of the greatest games ever made)

How are the Canadiens so good?? 1st place? They sucked last year!!
Why are my Oilers still so sucky? They didn't get a single shot on net in the 2nd period tonight.
What the fuuuuuuuuccck?? I don't get it.
oh, right.
He's missing one thing that separates him from winning GM's:
1. Trade for ridiculously overpaid, under-performing player
2. Buyout said player
3. ???
4. Profit!
For a second there I thought you typed in Battletoads.
Now that's one of the greatest games ever made.

:lol Mac and Sanjuro crying about all the salt being thrown around last night. I guess you learn best from their players, "oh no, somebody pushed back, I'm going to cry and sucker punch someone in the face."
You guys know you'd be doing the exact same had the situations been reversed. It's a Habs-Bruins game, we all have to turn the salt up to 11.

Who are you again? Don't think you know me very well.
I'm putting down some Bison dollars on the second Avs game to be the one the Blackhawks lose in regulation.
It's going to be an endurance run. Both teams I think have games every day/every other day for a good stretch.
Those three games the Habs have played over the Bruins still might come back to bite, positioning wise.

I'll go against the grain: BJs will weaken Toews and Kane and Columbus will upset them.
He's been killing it in the faceoff dot lately, something they desperately need.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Do Hawks fans in here worry about the team peaking too early and then fading in the playoffs?
When is the last time a team ran the table throughout the season? Detroit in 07-08? Clearly, the Hawks are a great team but as we've seen in previous seasons President's Trophy winners haven't done so well. 3 of the last 4 have lost in the first round.
I guess the shortened season could help in that matter, though.

Just a flat out dangerous and stupid play. It's not like a bang-bang play where everybody's moving at velocity and bad things sometimes happen, it was a conscious (and poor) decision on Kaleta's part to crosscheck Richards in the back that close to the boards. From where I was sitting live, I was actually scared for a second that Richards might have broken his neck or something and was really somewhat relieved when he started writhing around. That he was able to come back a couple minutes later was just plain lucky and shouldn't do much to diminish the suspension that's coming Kaleta's way.
I'm guessing Richards' histrionics were probably about 70% legit pain, 30% selling the hit. He still went face first into those boards, but he also knew the team needed an emotional spark. And for once, this team actually responded. Really the first time this team has managed an emotional gut check sort of win this season.
While we're at it, the people trying to somehow equate Girardi's hit in OT with Kaleta's are really reaching. That actually was a play at velocity where both players were chasing the puck, unlike Kaleta's hit, and Girardi just got unlucky that Ennis turned his body towards the boards at the last second before the contact, because they WERE going to hit shoulder-to-shoulder without that turn. He was coming in to try to make a clean hit but ended up unable to stop from hitting him in the back into the boards. It was worthy of a boarding penalty, and that's about it.
The only solace Blue Jackets fans can find is that they have 3 1st rounders this year, and so far all 3 are in the top 15. I'd love to see them win the lottery with a lower pick and get the two top picks along with another top 15 pick :lol.
Who are you talking about on that? Isn't there like 2 GM's between the trade for overpaid player and buyout player (I assume you mean Scott Gomez)?

Yup. Season ends early for us. Although we still have the top line in the league right now. I don't know if I should trust Dan Ellis though : /
That would be pretty great. Then after 2 more first overall picks maybe, just maybe they can start thinking about actually beginning their rebuild.
Better than being sour mid-game.

Leafs Mike Brown has been traded to the Edmonton Oilers for picks.
Nonis NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I guess they didn't want to risk sending anyone through waivers to the Marlies to make room for Frattin

I have faith that we'll pull through. Ellis seems to be doing alright. When Peters starts though, I'll be worried.
Dave Nonis fleecing begins!
EDIT: 4th in 2014.. good enough.. we dealt a 5th for him..

Yeah, luckily I don't feel we've necessarily relied on our goal tending to get us where we are now, so that helps. We need our defense to come up big though. We need a defenseman, stat!
Our entire first line are all +15 btw. Pretty good.
I know we don't have the best defense squad in the league, but we're alright. Faulk, Pitkanen, Gleason are all decent enough.
