Would love to have you in season 2, which will be weight big fixed classic. You shouldn't retire as long as you're having fun!

You can see the results on the website: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsGAzpWFo9T7dEhuRE9US1ZaRmV5OWItSUZYcG1vYUE&output=html But here they are: Game 1: Frey BOS 9 @ Raph DAL 3 Game 2: Frey DAL 7 @ Raph DET 9 Game 3: Raph BUF 0 @ Frey CHI 3 Game 4: Raph CHI 2 @ Frey MON 6 Game 5: Frey DET 8 @ Raph CHI 7 (OT) I gave it my best, but ultimately Frey was too much, and the better player won the series. GGS! I hope to see myself back for Season 2. This now sets up the Survivor Season 1 final between IceStorm and Freydey! As I understand, this will be the first time these two meet in a playoff ever! As a reminder, IceStorm will have home ice. Congratulations guys, let's make it a good one! If you record the games (please do), send me the krecs. I'll process and post the results in a video series, with games 5-7 (if necessary) in the spoiler format.

KingRaph 7 @ Witt 1 Witt 2 @ KingRaph 3 ggs

Alright -- I'll jump in and play for abcdpotato.

Sounds good -- if I'm not on, try to contact one of these guys for a test game: http://nhl94online.com/html/online-players.php?lgtype=gens

Remember: So kupuck/flasox would get the #2 seed after you/fpb.

Got my games with Beavers last night (ggs!)...last 5 left with Zalex, which I can't believe.

Nope, he has no interest J/k of course.

Awesome...I thought it was just me because the Rangers are good again.

An A replacement wouldn't lose his B team...he would be in both leagues.

All new guys are put in the C league to start. If you do well in C, you may be considered for a B replacement, however, B league is just about done with their season. Great to have you onboard...I'm usually on late nights like 10-1 EST.

What is your AIM screenname? I'll be glad to play a test game.

My "A" odds. I also linked each team to Robbie's write-up (for those done). MTL Freydey32 +350 -- While I don't think this team is particularly strong, I didn't think so last year either and Frey won the whole thing! Oh, Frey also finished in the semis in seasons 4&5, and won season 3. PHI snoboarder3211 +375 -- Coin-toss with Freydey, but the current champ gets better odds. Carse has either won or lost to Frey in the last 5 seasons. Light upfront this year, but filled with snipers. Gonna be interesting to see what Carse does with this group. BUF IceStormNHL94 +400 -- Ice comes back with another good team, trying to crack into the Blitz finals for a chance at the cup. Riding a 2012 "A" title, his game is strong and he'll try to keep that momentum going. ANH canadiensfan66 +450 -- Last year Gartner led the A league in points/game, and he has been replaced by Roenick, who was 2nd! Gonna be a tough team again. DAL KingRaph +450 -- Strong team with Selanne's speed and Neely's strength. Can this be the 1st year for a Blitz playoff series win? CHI Zalex1414 +475-- Record-setting regular season last year, finals appearance the year before. Roenick replaced with Muller. Zalex has the skills to win it all, but will rust be an issue? PIT VocallyCaged +500 -- Unpredictable, but with Stevie Yzerman, VC can inflict some major damage. I have him in the playoffs where anything can happen. NYR BoKnowsNHL94 +550 -- NHL'94's new iron man, BoKnows has a great team led by Super Mario, and Grant Fuhr in goal. Will the SNES playing time affect his GENS game? SJ houly8 +900 -- Current "B" league champ returns with Bure and his record-setting 06 season. Houly has the skills to compete, so look out! LA dcicon5148 +1300 -- High flying team led by Gartner and Fleury, with ZZ in the back. Sick team, DC has the firepower he needs to win. FLA xdeathsbloodx +1500 -- The "B" league runner-up comes up into the "A" ranks, can he solidify a playoff spot and cause an upset with the shot king Brett Hull? VAN hokkeefan2 +1800 -- The ultimate variable, as hokkee can compete with anyone. Always a potential dark horse, hokkee needs to harness Klima's speed with Wendel Clark's hard shot. Place your bets!

He has been MIA for quite a while now...I know the SDL guys are also waiting for him. Hopefully he's okay, but yeah, quite disappointing considering the rushed draft.

I'll be on at 10 CDT...we should be able to knock out our games.

Gretzky would be the LW. LW/C/RW.

Rangers in 5.

I know some people do...hokkee comes to mind. He tinkers with the lineup a lot when we play. Ive seen other people put in a good shooter when there is a faceoff in the offensive zone, in an attempt to nail a quick one-timer. The injury/penalty thing is important though...a 3rd D and 4th winger will get some decent ice time throughout the season. Never 5 & 6, unless for personal reasons.

Haha, don't second guess yourself NOW! Thanks for a great season Carse, I'll hope to see you in season 2. IceStorm still remains hot after his 2012 title! Frey and I will play asap...we missed each other by an hour or so last week.

This will all be very subjective as different people prefer different styles. BUT -- I'm not sure why TOR is so high and HFD so low. Messier/Gilmour/Thomas vs Robitaille/Juneau/Otto (Messier > Otto, Robitaille > Gilmour, Juneau > Thomas) HFD preferred Kasatonov/Leetch vs Steve Smith/Doug Lidster (Smith > Kasatonov, Leetch > Lidster) tie ROY vs Puppa -- this will be a HUGE factor. HFD in a landslide Personally, I'd take HFD's team. I'm also not a fan of "depth", but that's again, personal to me.

I can come in as a replacement if needed, just let me know.

Absurd is right.

Robbie, if you put together some odds (either mine or Sicarius' format), I'll put together a little comparison chart on the different odds we all give, and an average. Same for anyone else who wants to open up a sportsbook and post some odds! I may do my "A" later and do the same with DC's figures.

I see your null and void and RAISE you, as you have yourself missing the playoffs in your odds. I'd be surprised if you didn't make the playoffs, but at the same time we both give the "longshot" 10-1 (+1000) odds to win the whole thing, so anything can happen. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
