I'll do this network game too.

Give me Pittsburg

[The Sultan of Swank]

Finally stopped my Nashville game after 6 seasons after everybody was shitty except for John Tavares. Now I'm playing with the Leafs and I'm throughouly enjoying how McCabe only makes 575,000 a year. Which in hindsight he probably should be.

New Jersey also basically handed me John Madden for a 2nd round pick so my penalty killing should be d-e-a-d-l-y.

There is an updated roster for that error.

[Toe]

New Jersey always gives away Madden, McGillis and Mathvichuk for next to nothing. And I have never seen an update with McCabe earning only 575,000, and he is always worth his salary in my games because he always leads defencemen in points and/or goals.

I haven't been Toronto with the new update and never saw McCabe making only 575,000 until 10 minutes ago. That is shitty.

[Ruki]

McCabe is worth way more than 575, 000....I'm thinking of starting again, playing the 6 months that I can. Maybe play 2005, since I can play it fully.

I started a game as the Habs again. I had a pretty good season. I had picked up Craig Conroy in the pre-season because Bonk went down with an injury. I also traded for Frantisek Kaberle in January to help get some speed on my blue line, and late in the season I picked up Mikko Koivu. I was projected to finish 19th and ended up in a wire to wire fight with Buffalo for top spot in the Northeast eveuntually finishing 4th in the East with 102 points(48-27-7). This all came in a season when I only had 6 players who managed to play the whole season. Everyone else was injured for some amount of time.

In the end I had Koivu lead my team with 99 points. Both Kovalev and Samsonov were 40+ goal scorers and Higgins and Ryder each were 30+, Conroy who I got for Bouillon played 56 games and managed 57 points which was a big help. I also had the only team to have a guarenteed win if leading after 2 periods going 32-0-0 when leading after 2. Huet hit the 35 win mark in 50 games on the season and I was hoping for a good long playoff run. Instead I was ousted in 5 games by the Flyers. The Stars eveuntually won the cup but it was still a real pain in the ass.

In the off-season I had a lot of my players re-sign which bumped up my roster costs, I had to re-sign Abeschier in the off-season because he wouldn't re-sign during the year. I also traded away Bonk who at 2.3 Million a year was not someone I wanted to keep when he only produced 25 points and a +7 rating. I sent him off for Alyn McCauley.

The problem I'm facing now is, the new season has started, my costs against the cap are only 41.3M but I have 49.8 Million committed and only a 50.5 Million budget not leaving much room for anything as my board won't let me go over 50.5 Million. I need to cut costs, but I'm very reluctant to part ways with a lot of my prospects.

The biggest suprise so far is the fact that Washington now has St. Louis, Ovechkin, Federov, Brewer and Phaneuf just to name a few players they got their hands on. Toronto fire-sold their team as they finished dead last with a 25-56-1 record. Paul Maurice is now one of my asst. Coaches.

So my all-conquering Avalanche have made off with another cup, in the 06-07 season. That makes three cup final appearances in a row, and two wins. (04-05, 06-07)

Lines as they stand by asking the head coach. (for easy reference) (Kubina and Kyle Calder have departed since the cup win, plus i picked up a bunch of players from overseas on the cheap)

Kovulchuk - Crosby - Kapanen

Ovechkin - Datsyuk - Hejduk

Palffy - Forsberg - Upshall

Frolov - Lehtinen - Tanguay

Bouwmeester - Pisa

(Frantisek) Kaberle - Salo

Hamhuis - Timander

Woywitka - OH MALIK WENT BETWEEN HIS LEGS

Lehtonen - Kiprusoff

and I have

Liles

Orsazgh

TEH LAPPY

Rob Niedermayer

and Victor Kozlov

scratched. This game is FUN ever since I ignored Sean's line suggestions. I started winning again.

[NobBe Nobbs]

That's just a ridiculous team.

Would I be right, incidentally, in thinking "MALIK WENT BETWEEN HIS LEGS!" comes from Malik's retarded goal against Kolzig in the shootout last season?

[Plubby]

indeed. 'swat the commentator said on the youtube video.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Plubs is the cheater!!!

[CKN]

Yeah since it looks like he would be over the cap.

EDIT: But then I don't know what game he is using as he says he won in 04/05 so I am guessing either NHL EHM or EHM

[Plubby]

$47.5 million - am i at least close to the cap?!?!

I haven't seen a shootout as good as this one in the game yet. The goalies were just insane.

[NobBe Nobbs]

I just checked the boxscore of a preseason game I played, in which Columbus tore Washington to pieces 12-0, and we put 87 shots on Olaf Kolzig before he was pulled (after conceding nine times). We then put another three goals past Semen Varlamov on seven shots, for a total of 94 shots.

94!

[Toe]

I hate Nikolai Khabibulin.

When my defence plays well and only allows like 15 to 20 shots on goal, he fucking sucks and lets in 4 or 5. When the other team annihilates us and gets 40 shots, its a shutout for Khabibulin.

Am I the only one that always, ALWAYS, appeals suspensions in this game?

[NobBe Nobbs]

Yes. They seem to get revoked if they're for more than one game, strangely.

[Toe]

I'm the Blackhawks, and I just had Stephen Weiss get a one game suspension. It's STEPHEN WEISS!

[The Sultan of Swank]

I'm having a big problem with my Habs. I just finished my second season with them and at the end of this year I have 2 players still left on contract... that's it. But nobody on my team really wants to sign deals longer than one year.
