Xia, remake that list and make a "longest city-championship drought" of cities with teams of the major 4 sports.
Then we can have Vancouver with that 100y drought... though arguably seasons without any major team active shouldnt count.

Ha, I told my friend he's come close to making a hockey fan out of me and that if I watched more I could totally see myself getting into it. Thing is I'm from Wisconsin and we have no NHL team of our own (sorry Admirals). I don't think I could bring myself to root for the Wild or the Blackhawks since Minnesota and Illinois are Wisconsin's mortal sports enemies, so I may just have to pick a team that's far away XD
Heck, maybe I'll just stay neutral for now and then root for the Las Vegas WhateverTheFucks when they start playing next year. It'd be interesting to root for a brand spanking new team.

So apparently Hakstol just went full stupid today. Raffl is on the top line with Giroux and Simmonds. Schenn is now the 4C behind Bellemare (3C) and VDV is playing over Weise. What the hell world am I in?
Root for the Penguins. They have Wisconsin's favourite son Phil Kessel, plus you could have a healthy rivalry with that friend of yours!
Ewww why would you recommend the Penguins?

Why not the Wild? They have another Wisconsin product in Ryan Suter (plus they air games on Wisconsin TV if I remember right).

Whatever makes you think that? The poll options?
🤔
well that's the obvious one, but he said he doesn't want to support a Minnesota team :lol
What about a team that used to be from MN and now is the current Minnesota team's biggest rival?
Better start hyping up that 2064 Stadium Series game

Too bad it relates to gambling. NHL are no fun.

Blackhawks are a good team and Hawks-age are all friendly. Plus there are other benefits such as free rides to and from Barclays in the Marvmobile.
Yeah the demo gave me enough confidence to pay full price for it. And I'm enjoying it more and more as I get better and am able to take advantage of the controls/systems. Top Player is really hard, but it's forced me to think about how I attack and defend if I want to have any success. Currently in 18th out of 30 teams in England's second divison - hoping to battle for promotion next season as my players are finally rounding into shape and can play well together.
So yeah, can't recommend highly enough. It's great fun.
Yes, console. PC version is gimped graphically, I think.
Actually, it really is quite bad considering the nature of the NHL through the 40s-60s. People often forget the league was 6 teams back then. In 1967 there were 10 NBA teams, 16 NFL teams, and 20 MLB teams. Thus, it was much much easier for hockey teams to win championships...until the expansion boom started in the late 60s.
Stecher had already been sent down. Tryamkin was in the press box. But Tanev is now injured. That's my understanding at least.

I'm still surprised Konami hasn't gotten their shit together for getting the PC version of PES up to par by now.
Konami being shitty, lazy and/or stupid is nothing I'd ever call surprising

I only mention it because for the most part, their other PC ports have been at least on-par with the console versions.

Will EA ever put the NHL games on PC?
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
They don't even put Madden on PC anymore. No way they'll do any other sports game.
they used to ;_;
Nope, roommate actually bought an Xbone S for NHL (and the 4k Blu Ray player)
My friend worked on the last NHL PC title, NHL 09. And even then, it wasn't EA that made it. They outsourced that shit to HB Studios in Nova Scotia. He didn't really enjoy it, so he left to work on the NHL 2K games in California.
The NHL team in Vancouver is like 40 people, if that. Smallest of all their sports teams, which is why they don't have the man power or time to make giant changes year after year.

Leafs 4, Sabres 2. Matthews will score tonight.
that's a conservative estimate
Wait what??? First Niagara Center is called "Keybank Center" now?
Better than pittsburghs new arena name
PPG Paints Arena

Has anyone here ever seen a hockey game at the Barclay's Center? Every time I see it on TV it looks like a horrible hockey arena.
well, over there "seen" is a pretty big word

Marvie has, but he watches the games from his car parked rinkside, so it might not be a wholly representative experience
