Wittgenstein

where have you been? me and jay were just wondering about you....

Once someone wins the playoffs, we'll figure out how to get the prizes out. I've never used it, but I know it's fairly easy to do over Amazon Wishist. I can't wait to hear what is in that crazy jail workout book.

Ok, just went through and got the same numbers. da94wookiee 15 3.87-3.33 Carse 10 5.8-1.6 kingraph 10 5.0-2.0 minpind 12 3.17-2.92 Bo Knows NHL94 10 5.2-3.5 Dragon 14 3.21-5.21 kupuck19 14 2.79-3.79 Wittgenstein 14 1.43-4.93 Carse will win both season awards. As for playoff format: the two players can decide. I think the most preferable format is top seed is home first two, bottom seed plays home next 2, and top seed is home on the last game. This is the easiest way to do it. However, if the players would rather switch off every game, that is fine too.

NYR in 7

PHX in 6.

Playoffs: Round 1 Ron Tugnutt Conference 3. kingraph vs 2. Carse bye: wookie Guy Hebert Conference 3. kupuck19 vs. 2. Dragon bye: bo Series: Best of 5 Deadline: May 20 Sorry.... still haven't checked all the numbers, so can't announce the official season awards yet. However, it looks like Carse will probably win both. I swear I'll check them tonight... (stuff keeps coming up)

Here are my ideas for the tournament: - EA pays to fly all nhl94.com members to Pittsburgh. - All players get a $10,000 stipend to do nothing but work on their 94 game for two months prior to the tournament. - Games will be played on the jumbotron at Consol Energy Center to a sold-out crowd. - Players get their own personalized intro that plays before the game. Also, Mike Lang puts together a segment telling the storyline behind each game. - Guaranteed $200,000 in cash prizes - Ron Barr and Bob Errey announce each game - Tickets to watch the tournament is part of the Penguins' season ticket package.

Yeah, I still like this idea, too. I really like a lot of the people that I've gotten to know during my brief stints on here and it would be a lot of fun to just have a bunch of us get together for a weekend and have a tournament and go out for drinks and have a good time. Again, if people would want to do this at some point in the future, me bo & carse could def make it happen in Pittsburgh. I agree-- the grand plan is possible if we all put together ideas and came up with a strong pitch and had someone write the e-mail and had Evan send it-- it would all be about convincing EA that it's a good idea and then they would do all the work.

lol. ok... i gotcha now. I agree that if we put together a good enough pitch, someone like Evan maybe could convince EA to do it-- the idea is certainly plausible.

lol. Yeah... if at some point we'd just like to have a nice community reunion and tournament, I think that Pittsburgh would make sense and me, carse, and bo could put together if people would agree to come down for a weekend. As far as LA's idea, I think it is plausible-- we would just have to convince EA (who has the resources) to put the tournament together and market it to them as a good idea to promote the entire nhl games franchise; there's probably (probably being a huge understatement) no way that the people on here have the resources to pull enough strings to make a huge event like that happen.

Damn... yeah, that would be awesome. I would think the best way to do something like that would be to somehow convince EA to create and promote the event-- have someone like Evan contant them and try to convince them that 94 deserves a big 20 year anniversary event to celebrate and recognize how groundbreaking the game was and even use 94 as a way to celebrate the success of the entire nhl franchise. And then you could maybe mention that you already have a core of guys who are willing to participate. Maybe you could even do it to coordinate it with the release of NHL 13 which Malkin has a good chance of making the cover. (The Pens have been marketing hard to get fans to vote Geno on the cover and looks like he will probably end up getting it.) If Geno makes the cover, then I'm sure EA would be able to get the Pens involved and make the event happen. (Maybe have both an NHL 13 and NHL 94 tournament at Consol Energy Center celebrating the entire series and how far it has come.) But without EA doing the work, idk how realistic it is to have anything bigger than a nice community reunion.

When you take these shots, should you be hitting c and down? Sometimes when you do this, the puck goes flying out of play.

I've noticed sometimes that if the other team misses the penalty shot, I will still have a player go to the penalty box for a 2 min pp. Is this a glitch or did I take two penalties on the play? (I've seen this happen a few times when I didn't think I took two penalties.)

1 day left to finish your GAs NOTE: It looks like the top three teams in each conference are pretty much set. Therefore, I'll set the top 3 seeds based on points earned during the season to reward players who completed more of their games. GF and GA awards will go by averages. I'll check to make sure that those numbers are correct tonight.

damn... that would be awesome. Me, Carse, and Bo should start looking into stuff if people are ok with pittsburgh. How did they get EA to sponsor it? Who did they contact?

Is there actually a chance that EA would sponsor an event? (I'm sure this has been posted before, but is it even legal to edit 94?) Get the Pens to sponsor? http://penguins.nhl.com/club/microhome.htm?location=/corporate_sales Crosby plays in the tournament-- Orangeandblack scores a goal on him and tells him to cry like a b****. Also, North Shore has some really nice hotels. And, again, it's a great and really beautiful location. http://pittsburghnorthshore.place.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-pittsburghnorthshore-place/place/index.jsp http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pitns-springhill-suites-pittsburgh-north-shore/

Sorry for the double post (and maybe this is the wrong place to post this), but, seriously, I think a strong case can be made for having an event in Pittsburgh. For one, we already have a lot of members here-- me, bo, carse, caged (although he's m.i.a. right now and everyone may be pissed at him, but I'm sure he'd come), probob. Then, geographically, we are reasonably close to all of the North East people on the site. Philly: Jesus!, xdeathsbloodx, orangeandblack. Massachusetts: Donny, minpin. NJ: da94wookiee, Jaylighter (I think). Then NY has a good bit. (Sorry, too lazy to keep naming people.) And for all of the eastern Canada people, Pittsburgh is reasonable location in the US for them. Driving can be expensive, but megabus runs from NY and Philly and Toronto and a lot of other cities to Pittsburgh and usually costs only $20-50 each way to Pittsburgh. (http://us.megabus.com/default.aspx) Idk how we would run it (like where we would have the event), but it would be awesome if we could rent out an event room in a hotel in the North Shore and set up some tvs and gens and have an all-day tournament (or, if we want to be cheap, even a really large hotel room), then afterwards we could all get hammered and walk to the Rivers Casino or a bar or go to a Pirates game. Also, the South Side and Station Square are close (quick cab ride) and they have tons of great bars and night life. So, if people came down here for a weekend, believe it or not, there would be tons of things to do and would make for an amazing weekend. Anyways, maybe Carse or Bo can make a better case or have better ideas, but I think that if people are ever gonna get a live tournament together, Pittsburgh is somewhere people should seriously consider.

Absolutely! Bring it to Pittsburgh!

Hey, AJ, what's the best checking/goon line that you could make in the game?

Gotta love the flyers... down 3-1 in the series and 2-1 in the game, they start taking runs at the Devils-- Rinaldo trys to take out a dude's legs, Simmons smashes a dude's head into the boards, Hartnell hits Kovalchuk after the play, everyone hacks at Brodeur. Flyers are all class. NJ just takes it...

updated. 3 days left to finish your games

Even though nothing came of the play, this was pretty sweet.... p.s. philly is dead
