NHL Off-Season 2014 |OT| - O stands for Overhaul

All of the BIT.TRIP games are awesome.

Except Void, it's boring.

This.

Runner 2 has a world-class soundtrack. Amazing game, I put a couple more hours into it today after roflo's post (I got it at release and have beaten the shit out of it already). I absolutely love the song "The Supernature." One of my favorites of this generation.

The original is just as good. I could never really get into the other games in the "saga"

I actually spent a huge chunk of my flight back from Philly a few days ago playing the first BIT.TRIP Runner on my 3DS.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Was that one of Tatar or Nyquist for JayBo? I might do Tatar for a top 4 D, we need some big upgrades there. But yeah, Holland has been awful the last few years. Been a while since he made a good FA signing that didn't fall into his lap ala Hossa, Alfie and Dekeyser. His trades have been bad too but in his defense hearing what some other GMs ask he's at least had the sense to say no more times than he's said yes.

No, he offered Tatar AND Nyquist for Jaybo at the 2013 deadline. The guy has no idea what he's doing anymore.

Seriously.....projections over him seem to be all over the place, yet none of them have him slotted in as a #1 or guaranteed top pairing guy. It's not surprising Florida is shopping the pick.

Marek, who seems legitimately dialed into this stuff, called him a #2, and a powerplay guy. If that's the ceiling...

That is partly why I'm worried about getting 1st overall and picking Ekblad. I think he can jump in quickly, but I think the last defenseman picked that high that was actually legit may be either Niedermeyer or Pietrangelo.

He put up good numbers in the OHL... in his 3rd year, clokcing in at 6'4 200+ lbs. I think he'll be more of a Cody Franson than a Dion Phaneuf, at best.

Brent Seabrook.

That's who he reminds me of.

It said tarantula hawk. I'm imagining some freaky spider bird hybrid animal. If not, it's some big spider and I hate spiders.

Haha. Actually it's a wasp the size of your palm with a large as fuck stinger that fights, paralyzes, and lays its offspring inside tarantulas.

He's in that mold. More of a two way player and a shooter rather than a passer.

He's putting up exceptional numbers is the league. Marek has also talked about how he stepping his game up as the season went on, transitioning to be a more of a guy who jumps in on the rush than outlet pass guy. He also has a great mind for the game seemingly always in right spot to shoot, or getting back defensively. He'll be a top pairing guy but his skillset is best when paired with a puck moving d-man.


Plus how hard is it to find top pairing RHDmen?

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Pornstars are like the Leafs

They let 4 guys score on them in 10 minutes to end a show.
 
Well Ulf told a Swedish newspaper he didn't get a HC job and Desjardins flew to Pittsburgh so I guess he's our new coach. I'm cool with that, really interested to see who his assistants will be.

Throwing up a gang sign and hoverhanding, might as well be Red_Man.
You seem lonely man, have another break up with that crazy chick?

Yea, lots of question marks on his ceiling, which is concerning considering his size and skill set. Rough year to have a top pick.
 
Welp the Gallant rumors seem to be premature. Our bear writer said it is now a 2 horse race so Bylsma is still in the running. Mirtle just said Bylsma will end up in FLA.

Anyone know how long Zero is gone for? Seemed like a pretty petty ban, figured it would have only been a couple days.

No we're good, thanks for asking though :)

Nikitin is an underrated dman, could be really good move for Edmonton, I would throw money at Stralman if I were them as well, that d core will finallylook respectable.

The first Runner is one of my favourite games of all time.
 
Fucking headlines scared the shit out of me

"Shooting at Red Rocks multiple victims"

My mom works at the College up there, next time put amphitheater in the goddamn headline.

I'm having serious hockey withdrawals today. As painful as it was watching the kings hoist the cup I would still take it over no hockey.

Where's a cryo-chamber when you need one....

Winter Classic is Chicago V Washington according to McKenize. Weird match up, and why are both teams getting another Classic already? I thought the point of these things was to drive up interest in the league, maybe you should put in new teams.

I stopped watching hockey after my Ducks decided not to show up for game 7. I'm glad the world cup is going on or else I'd have nothing to watch on tv.
