LINE CHANGES: AUTO
What I noticed:
I'm experimenting different rules. What I realized is that these 20 minute periods allow too many goals, too many penalties, and too many shots. When I checked the stat sheets for 2 or 3 of these games, all teams had 45+ shots on goal. When I checked the game (which was with 8x Frame Skip), stoppages occured every 30 seconds, and that goals would not stop piling up. I'm likely going to change things up for tomorrow. These weren't good at all, especially for the TBL vs FLA game, when TB managed to comeback from a 6-2 game in favor of Florida to win 8-7 in OT. Not only that, but looking at the scores, they show that 11/24 (nearly 50%) of the teams playing managed to score 5+ goals, with 7 of those teams (over 25%) scoring at least 6 goals.
NHL '94 Prediction Record So Far:
8-4 (All games finished)
