Dmitry is the league admin. Unfortunately, he hasn't been around in months so we really don't have any idea if there will be a GDL Season 3.
Just check in here every once in awhile and there may be an update.
Far out. Thanks.

You're my hero right now.

Hey guys, I'd really like to join the draft league, and I was wondering if a.) this were possible, and if so, b.) how to join. Can someone let me know?
Thanks,
Pat (awesomerino)

I've always hated the 'skate across the crease' goal. I hated it back when I was 13 and the game first came out, and I hate it to this day. But, like someone said earlier in this thread, it's still a totally stoppable shot. It just requires mastery of the manual goalie, which is a skill you'll need to develop anyway. Besides, it's nice to have something in NHL 94 that gets your blood boiling a little, because it just motivates you to take your game up a notch and score more. There's no greater satisfaction than to beat someone who's pulled out all the stops and tricks in an attempt to beat you.
So chin up, fella! And keep playing!

I'm sorry too, SSiG. I certainly didn't make matters any better with my equally rude comments to you. My apologies.

I've got to say that I really enjoyed it, kinks and all! Nicely done, SY, and thank you.
My only true qualms are the following:
1.) Why is Gretzky rated so low? He's a 90, even though coming off the 87-88 season, he scored 149 pts in only 64 games! Pro-rated over an 80 games season, he would have run away with the Art Ross. And he won the Conn Smythe that year in the playoffs. That deserves at a 95 rating, no?
2.) Where's Bobby Smith? He was Montreal's #1 center (not to mention my favorite Hab ever) in both the 87-88 and 88-89 seasons. He scored 93 points in the season you based the game on. Surely there's a spot for him between Naslund and Richer on Montreal's first line.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed this ROM. Thanks for making the effort, SY. I really appreciate it.

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 19) -- The atmosphere in the Kings' dressing room is mostly positive tonight, thanks to surprise 4-1 victory over the visiting Penguins that afforded LA a split of their recent two-game series against Mario & Friends. "To be honest, I'm kind of shocked that we won," admitted winger Luc Robitaille, "We've got such a profoundly terrible goaltender that usually we need to score, like, a million goals just to keep our heads above water." Coach Awesomerino J. Awesometon agreed with his player's assessment. "What you have to remember is, playing with Hrudey in net is almost like playing with Captain Pike from Star Trek. You know, the quadraplegic dude who's in that box-like wheelchair and can only communicate through a series of beeps? In fact, come to think of it, we'd kill to have that guy in nets for us. So this is a nice win."
Nearing the halfway point of the season, the Kings find themselves with a 3-6-0 record, mediocre enough for 3rd place in the D-League's Western Division. Captain Wayne Gretzky, the team's leading scorer, remains optimistic about his team's chances to make the post-season: "Do you have any blow?" asked the Great One, "Because I'm all out, and Daddy's got a monkey on his back. Don't hold out on me, man. I'll let you f*ck my wife. And my daughters. Whatever you want. Please. Just gimme some effin' yay-o!"
Can the Kings parlay their most recent victory into some kind of momentum? "Probably not," said goalie Kelly Hrudey. "It's not that the guys don't want it, it's just that I'm so insanely awful at what I do. But hey, anything's possible, I guess."

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 17) -- Despite his team's 3-1 loss to Chicago, the Kings' second in as many games to the Blackhawks, goaltender Kelly Hrudey was oddly when speaking with reporters after the game. "You know, usually, I'd be pretty upset after a game like this," Hrudey said, "But tonight, it finally occurred to me why I've been struggling so much all year. I'm a terrible goalie. Like really, insanely terrible. I have no business playing in the NHL."
Hurdey's teammates are inclined to agree. "Yeah he sucks," said winger Tomas Sandstrom. "He goes down much too early, positions himself poorly, and generally has no idea how to keep the puck out of the net." Coach Awesomerino J. Awesometon declined to answer questions as to whether he'll go with backup Rick Knickle for the Kings' next game, but did admit to looking into hiring a hitman to murder Hurdey.
"It's fair to say that I'd like to see him die," admitted the coach, "Preferrably in a way that causes him a great deal of suffering. Certainly enough suffering to mirror what we've been going through watching him flop around out there. I really hate him."
Hrudey's children, Zack and Cody, left the Great Western Forum in tears. "My father is a total failure," sobbed Cody. Added Zach, "It's pretty much a guarantee that I'll get into needle drugs when I'm old enough. You know, whatever dulls the pain of having watched him play so badly for so long."
The Kings have next couple of days off, no doubt to regroup around a new, less incompetent goalie they can rely on not to drop to the ice without the slightest provocation. "Did you take my coke?" asked Captain Wayne Gretzky. "It was right here when I left to go play, and now it's gone. Nobody leaves this room until I find it," said the Great One before whipping out a chainsaw and 'interrogating' every person in the room.
Suffice it to say, Kelly Hrudey is a sumbag deadbeat whose playing days are clearly numbered. The only question that remains is, will someone please cop to stealing Gretzky's blow so we can all go home with our limbs intact?

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA (Sept. 17) -- Wayne Gretzky really needs to lay off the blow. When asked to comment on his three goal performance, which propelled the Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Lightning, the Great One said, "Who the f**k are you? Huh? Who sent you? Huh? Sanchez? You tell that rat son-of-a-b***h that he'll get his money!"
Paranoid delusions aside, Gretzky played like a man possessed Monday night, scoring a natural hat-trick, including two short-handed goals in the 3rd period. Defensemen Alexei Zhitnik, who assisted on all three Gretzky goals, was frank in his assessment of his team's performance: "Gretzky really needs to get some help. I caught him going through my wallet before the game. It's really unnerving."
The Kings roll into Chicago next, for a much-anticipated game against the Blackhawks.

LA? Sweet! My pal Gretz and I are going light up the 'D'!

Norton is pretty much PC AIDS. Get rid of that crap.
AVG good and free. Kaspersky is probably the best onel. I myself use NOD32. I completely hate Norton, it just bloat windows and slow down startup and everything, can't stand it. Haven't used Kaspersky in a pair of years probably, but I thought it was really decent even back then, but like I said, people that I've spoken to that knows about this s**t says it is one of the best atm.
Thanks! I ditched Norton for Kaspersky. I appreciate the advice.

Howdy. Norton's making my NHL 94 netplay super choppy. I disable it, but perhaps there's another way. Do any of you know?
Alternately, is there a more NHL 94-friendly anti-virus out there?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Registration day is a sacred time in the schwartz household and although my dream of waking up at the crack of dawn w/ my coffee and a bacon/eggs brekky already safely in my stomach have been dashed by the hellish beeping and the flashing 12:02 PM on my alarm clock, it does not matter: today is registration day let us celebrate.
In anticipation of the newcomers (welcome again btw, its honestly great to have you) I offer my services as a nhl94online vet to play some test games and confirm your status in the upcoming season. I will be around for a ridiculous chunk of today and outrageous times in the middle of the night. If there are other vets who like the idea (BSDaemon I am looking in your virtual direction) post here with your AIM username and a mention of your avaliability. I suppose the results of the trial game (did it work or not) could be posted here as well although Evan might know of a better place where it could go.
Ok my information quick
Coach: Mat Schwartz
AIM: schwartz124
Avaliability: August 11: Noon - 6:00 CMT
Hey dude! I read your post and would like to take you up on your offer. I'm just in the middle of a game, but will be done shortly. Want to set something up in an hour or so? Let me know.
Thanks,
Pat

So does this mean that I'm not too late to join for Season 3?
Can someone please tell me Demitry's AIM name? Or is there a better way to contact him?
