NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007

[Guest Grapehead]

I set my games to no highlights and kind of juggle lines and such when we're having trouble. Occasionally I watch full games, like a few at the start of the season to see how lines are actually working.

I just started a new game with the Kings.

The team has a bunch of good young players/prospects like Mike Cammalleri, Alexander Frolov, Dustin Brown, Patrick O'Sullivan, Lauri Tukonen, Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson.

Plus they have the sexy Lubomir Visnovsky.

Oh and the best part is I get to trade Sean Avery... but keep the rights to Elisha Cuthbert

[The Sultan of Swank]

Trade for Higgins, he turns into a star!

I traded some guy for Wilson (and I traded two low picks for that guy), and he's coming up this year. This should be interesting.

Ryan Wilson's first 4 seasons:

82GP-7G-28A-35PTS

77GP-6G-38A-34PTS

82GP-18G-29A-47PTS

57GP-15G-28A-43PTS

This is interesting. I got hold of a goalie named Matt Mueller, and while he's only expected to get 15 wins in 50 games, he can apparently get a save percentage of 100.53%. He could actually be God himself.

Well I'm at the midway mark of my 2008-2009 Canadiens season. From the looks of things now, we're cup bound. We've played 44 games, have a 33-8-3 record to lead the East by 13 points. Koivu and Samsonov are 1-2 in the scoring race, Koivu has 40 Goals and 31 Assists for 71 points while Samsonov has 23 goals and 42 assists for 65 points. Cristobal Huet's 2.24 GAA is good for 4th in the league and his .910 save percentage is 7th best in the league. He's having a dazzling season with a 21-5-2 record. Carey Price is my back-up goalie. He had a terrible start to the season losing his first 4 starts, but has since bounced back with an 8-5-3 record and a league leading 3 shutouts.

My special teams are amongst the top in the league, my powerplay at 2nd with a 24.6% and my PK is 8th in the league at 83% With 69 points the next two closest teams to me are Calgary at 57 points and New York at 56.

The only changes that were made to my team for this season were signing Jochen Hecht and Bill Guerin, trading away Kovalev and Begin while acquiring Jeff O'Neal, Jay McClement and a bunch of prospects and picks.

The only problems I see myself encountering are my players aging and not having enough young guys to replace them.

It's spelled Jeff O'Neill.

Does anyone know how to run an online game of this?

*grumbles over DT's perfect orthographical skills*

If you can figure it out, I'll play.

[Toe]

I haven't actually bought the game yet since my only long running game is my Leafs diary (which I am slow to update because something awful happened to one of my players and it makes me cry).

Do you have to purchase it to start a multi-player game?

[The Sultan of Swank]

I dunno, but if you're running on the trial for your Leafs diary you can only play 6 months game time no?

[Toe]

Exactly.

I need to buy the game soon, I just keep putting it off.

[The Sultan of Swank]

I just won the Stanley Cup. Go me. Unfortunately my salaries for the upcomming season are about 45.5 Million.

[Toe]

Ok, I just bought the game. Where is the second license you get?

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

And how soon can I have it?

[Toe]

Does anyone know where I can get more pictures too?

[CKN]

Starting an online game is easy if you want to try it out with someone (me ) talk to me on msn (chris.neish@hotmail.com).

The second license is the same as the first you can use it on a second computer though.

More pictures and everything else can be found here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/

Also a new patch will be released next week or the week after depending on how the testing goes this weekend.

Give me the second serial code, and then I'll join the network game and be everyones whipping boy >_>

[The Sultan of Swank]

What happened to all your tennis money Luke?

[IAceI]

I haven't got it yet, and with my coach, I'll probably never see it.
