YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

there was a trade between benoit pouliot and guillaum latendress correct? they say I believe it was for the best since I think pouliot was from montreal and had tremendous pressure on him to perform in front of his home crowd- montreal. so they traded him to MN and he played very well there without the pressure. Amazing isn't it? What pressure can do to a player? They were talking about that with Louongo wearing the "C" and that now he is no longer the captain he's been playing better w/o that added pressure. But anyway, I think Guillaum Latendress has the coolest name in hockey right now. I love saying that. Guillam Latendress, rolls off the tongue right. Like most French names do. Dennis Savard, Savoir Faire! Not Zalex though, sounds GA.

no man. not at all when i wrote this. just lost in translation as the movie goes. I just call things the way I see them. Doesn't mean I'm pissed. But I can see how it might sound like that. I'm just writing garbage to try to help out. Even though I know half the stuff I write makes no sense.

24JUN94 Freshman Year H.S. FINAL EXAM TOPIC: Classic League INTERVENTION Hi, my name is Comeback. C-O-M-E-B-A-C-K and I'm addicted to '94. Step 1: Admit there are problems Step 2: Identify the problems Step 3: Discuss Solutions to the problems Step 4: Implement the solutions 1) Admit there are problems YES 2) Identify the problems I believe the problems with classic league are as follows: a) coaches not playing their games "what we have here is, failure to communicate" (okay, why are my letter "b's" turning into smiley faces?) c) lack of initiative 3) Discuss Solutions to the problems I admit my answers to the problems might not fill all the gaps, but if I can thwart one single email to Halifax (I have sent him a few myself) then that is a step in the right direction. a) coaches not playing their games When I first signed up this year and was checking out the schedule, the first thing that had me confused was who was I playing first? Is this a set schedule? Every time I clicked on the page the first team on top would change. Then I figured it out. It doesn't matter who I play first, you are encouraged to play whoever and whenever. But, would implementing a set schedule in addition to the current method of free for all play improve the completion of games played? - ex. say there are currently, I don't know, 5 deadlines. Each deadline is a week, you have to play 5 games in one week. Force these assholes to play. Obviously the current method only works if the other party is committed. Set up a schedule. Blackhawks HAVE TO play Montreal, Maple Leafs, Boston, Calgary, and Buffalo in week one. This way there is a guaranteed 5 games right there that have to be played or there will be forfeits. In addition to playing whoever whenever could add a couple more games played. Every coach could potentially have 5-7 games completed/played in week 1! - it's not asking all that much to have one coach play another 1 time in 1 week for 10 minutes. Each coach posts in some thread (scheduling a game) under WEEK 1 the best available day(s) and time(s) for you to play for that week and confirm it. You are now holding yourself down to that availability. confirmed. If you pull a no show and the other coach is there, you forfeit. Simple as that. Or give the coach a week extension if something arises. If I give DCICON a 3 hour window Mon thru Fri from Noon to 3 p.m. and he AIM's me "I'm here" without a response from me, he can copy and paste that in scheduling a game to prove he was there and I wasn't. Now the ball is in my court to act to avoid the forfeit. - well the more I read what I just wrote I see some problems... I tried lol. But this way you can avoid the guys dodging you. How is it fair for a coach to be committed and avail all the time (posting in forums 'where are you?', AIM messages, PM's) and have another coach pull the "sick card" for a week to avoid playing you and then that coach who is committed gets punished!?!?! That doesn't make any sense to me. How is that fair? It's not. What's stopping assholes from doing that? NOTHING. That is a major flaw. If a coach makes attempts to play he should not be punished because of one guy, potentially throwing his whole season down the drain, losing the President's trophy, losing home ice advantage, playing stronger teams in the playoffs, and flat out losing interest and the desire to finish... etc. Yeah that coach was me. But I'm over it and that could/probably has happened to somebody else. "what we have here is, failure to communicate" (seriously, why does the little 'b' turn into a capital 'B' every time I preview post and then morph into a smiley face?) This is also geared towards the forum in general but can only help with the many leagues being played. NHL94.com has changed from when I first followed it. I used to lose sleep over it but am over it now. I accept it for what it is. When I first signed up, people were polite, guys respected each other, people contributed to some of the dumbest threads ever posted looking back on them. But guys didn't judge you or care how much you knew about computers or the game itself or what your thoughts were on another member. A lot of you guys need to lighten up, seriously. Stop throwing controllers against the wall like your two, stop trying to F with other coaches on purpose, start respecting other people's opinions even if you think they are GA and you don't agree with them, stop the h.s. bullying ganging up on members who are trying to contribute- grow up be a man, debate topics without trying to put another member down, lose the ego, stop being hypocrites, admit when you are wrong (myself included), continue with the drunken posts, grow some thicker skin, and start replying to other coaches AIM'S. You don't have to "know me" to respond back to the Summit message I sent you. A coach doesn't need to be on your "friend's list" to give him the common courtesy if you are in for say.. Summit. That goes for Canada and one USA guy, not gonna mention names. You know who you are. You're that guy who goes offline immediately after receiving a message from a coach. You're that guy who can't respond back next time you logged in and saw you received 3 AIM messages while away. Lose the chip on your shoulder and don't blow off the "B" guy requesting one simple game from an "A" guy. I understand you're special and have many post counts and all your listed championships under your name. I don't give a fluck, I just want to play you. - Resist the temptation to be that guy we all know and love. I work too damn hard like a lot of you do to come here and experience b.s. Think about outsiders looking in, noobs who are debating joining. Sorry, I really don't care if you're French, or if your Canadien, or from NJ with your horrible accent, or if you're a Canucks fan, or that you can't admit I passed you in the Illinois best player list j/k, or your skill level- I play a lot of noobs who I smoke but still play them to practice (not so much for me, but for them), I don't give a shite about your trash talking AIM messages after you lose, and I don't give two shites what names you call me after you lose as long as you play your games that's all I care about at the end of the day. I'll ignore you. When I say "I", I'm also speaking for all the coaches who might feel this way in some shape or form. c) lack of initiative I know I can be a pain in the dupa with all my computer questions, and messages to Halifax, and suggestions to Chaos but please understand I really appreciate everyone's input. Seems we have a lot of members here yet we have the same old guys replying. I understand not all of us are knowledgeable with computers to answer how to edit the game, I have no idea about that stuff either, but we can try to type more responses even if the question is somewhat answered because some of you guys are pretty funny with what you write. Now I'm not saying to type in every single thought that pops into your head like RWD but hey, it's cool. It's nice to see LAROBBIE being a nub and starting a league with probob and someone else helping I think, sorry forgot your name right now. That's pretty impressive to me. But I guess overall guys to a good job trying to help out. I think we should have more responses in this thread though. - Remember guys we all have different schedules. Take that into consideration when someone requests you to play but you decline them because you played too much already today. If you have stuff to do that's one thing. But if you are declining because say you already played 3 '11 league games today and want to take a break, think about when are you really going to play next? Now you have to wait and see when you'll both be on at the same time. That could take days. Take the initiative to play and get it over with. Remember it's not you, it's guys like Halifax, Chaos, and LArobbie, and probob you are affecting dragging this on. If everyone took the extra 15 minutes out of their day when they can to help out another coach to play, then at the end of the day the league could have an additional 6 more total games played! Avoiding weeks of nonsense b.s. 4) Implement the solutions yeah I have no idea. I'm over tired right now from working midnights and really can't believe how long this post is and how long it took me to write. But I felt compelled to post a reply in this thread since "I'm that guy" who sends love letters to halifax. I'm going to bed. Discuss.

my second loss game to houli (edmonton) was an o.t. loss. I don't believe it's listed as that. I think it's counting as a regular loss. I think I get a point out of it.

well it doesn't help when people are afraid to play each other, and when they finally do, they end up winning anyway, even dishing out shalakings.. who cares, just play. Stop worrying guys whether if you lose, Canada will be down by a game or whatever. If that's the way things are going to be, then right now, have carse and VC play zalex and whoever for the rest of the season and be done with it. If not, then when someone finally gets a hold of 3 guys who are a go (which can be hard to do sometimes) and asks the fourth Canadian guy, don't say No, you don't like the match up. A is A, B is B, A/B is A/B. I'm not better than Houly, he beat me the last 6 times I've played him in all 3 roms. No more excuses Canada.

let me know if you experience any problems with AIM after you get the wireless connected. I only have it in one room for a laptop, not my main computer where I play. This one is still hardwired, but for whatever reason it keeps signing me on as avail, no matter what setting I put it on.

another guy from Pittsburgh? It's like an invasion.
