  5. Blitz 06 - A/B Deadlines

    in Blitz General Discussion

    Posted

    Don´t worry. I have regularly seen Kupuck, Dcicon & Pearate online. The others I need to play I haven´t really seen. I will catch the games up. Have my parents staying for the next few weeks, but i´ll still make some time to get games in.

    As for the other guys who haven´t been playing or online for ages - This is the league that everyone wants in on - Get the replacements in!

    I caught skool online about 2-3 days ago and he told me he just moved to a new place in a new state and is waiting to get his internet all squared away.

  11. GENS B Finals

    in GENS League Writeups

    Posted · Edited by kingraph

    I made the write-up a spoiler so if you wanted to watch the series unfold, you can watch the game videos posted below. I wish the videos didn't show a snapshot of the game as a thumbnail though... :(

    DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE RESULTS YET!

    The Toronto Maples Leafs (smozoma) win the Fall'11 GENS B Stanley Cup in 6 games over the Tampa Bay Lightning (kingraph)! In a close series where two games were decided by two goals or less and the other 4 by one goal, Doug Gilmour and company managed to do enough to come out on top!

    Game 1: 11 seconds into game 1, TB's Mikael Andersson sloppily tapped in a goal past Potvin, to give TB the early lead. A great start for TB! That lasted about 35 seconds, as Doug Gimour drew in 3 TB defenders to TB's corner, shrugged them off like flies and set up a sweet one-timer across to Boreshevsky, who was patiently waiting for the puck next to Young. 1-1. Toronto would go on to score the next 3 goals, as Potvin stuffed any attack by the TB offense. Bradley managed to score halfway through the 3rd to make it interesting, but it wasn't enough and TOR held the lead to win 4-2.

    TOR 1 - 0

    Game 2: In a mirror image of game 1, Toronto scored early to go up 1-0, followed by TB scoring the next 4 goals. It was 4-1 after 2, and then Toronto started to come back. Two quick goals made it 4-3 with a little under 3 minutes left in the 3rd. Plenty of time left and the momentum was swinging Toronto's way. The key sequence in the game came around a minute and a half left. Andersson intercepts a Boreschevsky pass to a sure one-timer goal to Gimour, only to give it right back to Glenn Anderson, who then coughs it up to Marc Bergevin! Bergevin to Andersson to Bradley for the goal! 5-3, and TB managed to hang on for the win.

    TIED 1 - 1

    Game 3: Toronto jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the 1st period. A penalty on Brian Bradley saw TB put Chris Kontos in at center to keep a potential scoring threat on the ice. The tactic worked as Kontos scored 2 goals to tie up the score. Solo efforts by Doug Gilmour and Mikael Andersson saw the score tied at 3-3 to end the 2nd.

    TB came out firing to start the 3rd, with about 6 shots in 2 minutes. Potvin was a wall, but Kontos, still at center, broke through for his hatrick goal to put TB up 4-3. Toronto fought back hard and Boreshevsky tied it up to finish regulation.

    It only took 16 seconds for Doug Gilmour to put an end to game 3 as he deked to his backhand and fired a forehand wrister past Young on OT.

    TOR leads 2-1

    Game 4: On one of the wackier plays of the series, TB goes up 2-1 on a missed backhand pass shot that ricocheted off the boards, off of Potvin's skate and into the goal! Afterwards, Toronto dominates play and scores 4 unanswered to go up 5-2, early in the 3rd. TB refuses to lay down, scoring 2 goals in less than a minute to make it 5-4, still early in the 3rd. Gill scores on a long one-timer, a goal Young wishes he had back, deflating TB's momentum. Bradley, the leader of the team, knocks down McCoun with a body check at the blue line, drives in and scores on a backhand deke to make it a one goal game. Ultimately it was not enough, as Toronto took a 3-1 series lead.

    TOR leads 3-1

    Game 5: Either both teams clamped down on defense or it was sloppy play, you decide. One goal managed to get scored on a routine one-timer by Kontos to put TB up 1-0.

    SLOPPY play by TB as Young leaves the puck for an icing, only to be retrieved by Toronto! Giveaway leads to a Gilmour goal to tie it up 1-1!

    But Toronto returns the favor. TB ices the puck and Potvin leaves it alone only to find Kontos and Andersson chasing the puck! Potvin comes out to crush Kontos, but the puck trickles to Andersson who hits the empty net as Potvin couldn't make it back in time.

    Toronto D must have gotten yelled at for leaving Potvin alone because the next play the were surrounding him, to the point of blocking him away from a Bradley slapper. Gilmour scores late, but the damage was done as Tampa takes game 5 in a sloppy one.

    TOR leads 3-2

    Game 6: Gilmour and company controlled the 1st period, going up 2-0 after one. A penalty on Bradley forces TB to put Kontos in to keep an offensive presence on the ice. Sound familiar? (see game 3). It works again as TB ties up the game at 2-2! More penalties on TB, again on Bradley, leading up to a 5-3 for Toronto. While managing to kill one penalty, Glen Anderson controls the puck and patiently drives into the TB zone. He sneaks around behind the net and sets up a beautiful one-timer pass to Boreshevsky to put Toronto up 3-2. Roman Hamrlik was anticipating, and must've smelled the puck go past him to the demise of the TB home crowd. This proved to be the series clincher as TB could not stay out of the penalty box and could not get one past Potvin at the end.

    Toronto wins series 4-2

    Great overall series, vggs, very exciting and fun to play. Both teams had good goals, blown chances, good goalie play, questionable goalie play, missed opportunities and lucky bounces! The whole series ebbed and flowed and at the end Toronto did enough to win the Stanley Cup! A well deserved victory to one of the great members of the '94 community! Congrats smozoma!

    Oh, and you have to come back next year to defend your title! :D

    LOL @ Smozoma.

    One NHL94 site to rule them all!

    Imagine... A single database with Classic, Blitz, GDL, 2012... there could even be some algorithm to figure out overall rankings like they use in Chess organizations.

    I'm kinda new here, but that sounds really cool.

    If I recall, smozoma had at one point done a ranking system that did just that!

    kingraph and smozoma - the nhl94online world wants to know... when are you posting vids of your B championship?

    I haven't gotten in touch with smoz yet to play, but I'll make sure one of us gets it recorded. And I like the idea of posting using the "spoiler" feature, so you if you don't want to know the final scores or outcome, you can watch the series unfold.

    Surprised it only went 4! Thanks for posting the videos, always appreciated! I just watched game 1. GG -- MTL 3 breakaway goals! Wall of Roy! I did laugh when Davydov missed the open net one-timer and you immediately put Selanne at C. :lol:

    One suggestion for future recordings -- check the game stats after the game (scroll down and up) to keep a record. Awesome stuff guys.

    I got the hypercam to work pretty easy. The only thing is it's not recording sound. I tried changing some of the sound settings but nothing seemed to work. Oh well, at least it's video.

    The website says, "sound from your system microphone is also recorded"...my guess is you would need a mic to pick up the audio -- I guess put it next to your speakers?

    Too funny.

    I'm not sure dude. I don't know enough about it. Like I said I would like to learn the whole process of recording the games and then getting that file into a video you can watch.

    Not sure if you guys have seen this thread:

    GENS: How to Make Game Movies (avi)

    I haven't done this either though, for fears of slowing down gameplay. I play on a netbook, so I don't have a lot of firepower to begin with.

    One time FPB mentioned using hypercam, something else to consider. Again, no experience from me.

    I can always click the record button if we play on Ham. I need to get schooled on the entire recording games then getting them to play and all that jazz. If I can sell tickets to tonight's games between us I'd be willing to split the gate with Wookie. I'd say $110 for glass seats which include virtual Twi'lek dancers and all you can drink margaritas. The next section for $95, those come with all you can eat and drink hot wings and beer. Club seats sell for $85 and you will be seated next to Hooters girls in bikini's. Also you can buy the cheap seats for $10 and these come with a guaranteed drunk person who has a 64.345% chance of spilling beer on you.

    *On a side note, all the Club seats have been reserved for Wookie and I*

    Just checked StubHub - club seats going for $300. B)
