  3. What Nhl Jerseys Do You Have?

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    Hmm lets see, I used to be a collector of NHL jerseys so lets see if I remember what I've had or still may have somewhere.

    Yzerman

    Gretzky, Los Angeles Kings

    Quebec Nordiques, no name on it

    Colorado Avalanche

    New York Rangers, Adam Graves, number 9

    Philadelphia FLyers, Eric Lindros

  4. Good hit or Bad hit ?

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    Looked like a good hit to me, pre Lockout that woulda probably been a legal hit. I swear the NHL is going soft, guy wasn't even injured or didn't seem that shaken up when he got up

    Bad call by the ref for sure, lets make hockey tough again.... Damn Bettman, I dispise the man.

  5. Still my favorite game

    in NHL '95

    Posted

    Having recently played both games, I have to agree with the OP here. 94 is just a bit too slow and NHL 95 seems to be the better game. I won't argue that 96-98 are too fast, though. NHL 99 seems alright but I dunno 95 has to be one of my fav of the series

    Doesn't change the fact Bettman is ruining the game, if I ran the NHL there would be NO Southern Teams OR teams in F'n California, what kind of joke is that!?

    Then again that's why I rarely watch the NHL anymore, Bettman has ruined the league with his hardon for teams in the south

    Give me a break

    also the difference between the southern fans and the real hockey fans(as I refer to them as) Is that unlike the people in Minnesota the Dallas fans didn't have to see the Stars when they were bad. They'd NEVER of supported a bad team, they're not true hockey fans like the people of Minnesota or Hamilton, It makes me SICK to see hockey in places like Florida, California and Dallas and even Atlanta, it's a f'n joke! I mean hockey in Nashville, are you f'n kidding me?

    The NHL today is a joke, and that's the problem Bettman runs it as too much of a f**king buisness. He doesn't see what he is doing to the TRUE hockey fans like the people of Quebec, Winnipeg and Hamiliton.

    I will NEVER support the NHL in the south, It is ruining the great game of hockey. Down with Bettman and lets build towards a better NHL Game WITHOUT THE SOUTH!

    Some even-keeled responses:

    1. I would enjoy the NHL more if there were more Canadian teams. So I agree with you there, but;

    2. example as to why the NHL is as it is: Hamilton metro: pop 700,000. Phoenix metro: population 4,300,000. Phoenix per capita certainly is not as hockey crazy as Hamilton, but only 1/6th as many people need to care to make it as viable as Hamilton. From a business perspective, Phoenix wins.

    3. To categorize everyone in Texas as a redneck who knows nothing about hockey is somewhat bigoted. There are passionate fans down there, though not as many as in Canada. But the sheer volume of people in Texas makes the revenue from merchandise and TV licensing more alluring to a potential buyer of a team. So whether they can tell you who Maurice Richard is or not.... when money talks, people listen.

    my suggestion: mod the 94 ROM so that there are no southern teams. That'll teach those brainless slack jaws!

    A lot of people feel the way you do, and it feels ignorant to me. An NHL franchise is a business, and your basis for a team "deserving" a franchise is that it is cold.

    More people per capita in locations like Hartford may understand the game of hockey than those down south, but these locations aren't big enough to support an NHL franchise. Dallas is doing a great job. Don't hate.

    You know what I may be a bit of a hockey snob, okay so more then a bit but I don't give a f'n damn. Those dumb rednecks in TExas have no respect for this game, same as in Florida and F'n Pheonix, look at all the trouble the damn Coyotes have been having. Yet that f**king moronic twit Bettman supports the southern teams over the northen and Canadian teams?

    Bettman is the dumbest f**king sports executive in the god damned known world. he should be pushing hockey in Canada where it belongs, it's THEIR F'n game you moron!. Canada came up with hockey not the US! IT's their game

    It's a f'n disgrace seeing hockey in the south, places like Texas where they really know nothing about the great history of the game, all they know is they have a great team that wins and is entertaining. I bet if they had bad teams like when the Dallas Stars were the Minnesota North stars all those dumb rednecks would abandon the stars so fast!

    The people of Minnesota supported their team during the bad, unlike what the dumbass Southerners would do. So no my friend YOU are wrong

    My mind will not be changed, I will support the elimination of Southern Teams in hockey till the day I die, it is WRONG and the creators of this great game must be doing backflips in their god damned graves seeing this bullshit

    some truth for you:

    Whalers attendance last 3 years of existence: 11,822 11,967 13,680

    Hurricanes attendance last 3 years: 17,386 16,663 16,572

    Oh... but there's more:

    Jet's attendance last 3 years of existence: 13,297 13,013 11,316

    Coyotes attendance last 3 years: 14,988 14,820 14,875

    I don't even need to do Quebec and Colorado.

    I think people have a rosy vision of the past when they claim Winnipeg, Hartford, and Quebec "deserve" NHL teams. It seems these Southern teams are doing a better job of attracting fans. Putting a team in Maine or the Dakotas is business suicide. Just because a place is cold doesn't mean it can better handle a pro sports franchise. I hope you are ready to discuss now:)

    statistics from http://www.andrewsstarspage.com/index.php/..._90/118-2008-09

    They deserve teams way more then places that the people have no idea what hockey is and only support it cause they have a winning team IE Dallas. Seriously the NHL should of never been put in friggin TExas biggest mistake ever to give those damned stupid rednecks hockey

    Let them stick to their football and basketball

  14. Weight bug in Gens

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    I realise this is a bit off topic but does anyone know if the checking rating still means how often a player hits in the newer games also?

    Cause when I make players I give them a high checking rating cuase I was under the understanding it made them better hitters.... Just askin

    Ah, okay.. I thoguht checking rating made better hitters... alrighty.. Guess I have a better idea of the game attributes now

    Thanks man

    Personally, I would like to see the Nords in Quebec again. I would definitely try to go to a game every season. Quebec City is a pretty cool place.

    Oh I agree, I would love to see a team back there.. Canada deserves more teams it's their game isn't it?

    Why the hell are there teams in the American south where most people don't really give a damn? I guess that's another rant for another thread so I'll stop there before I get goin and insult anyones team!

    Hamilton!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_Tigers

    That or Winnipeg (and I'm really glad Minnesota got a team back)

    I'm kind of of the opinion that they should go back to 28 teams, though. So many teams missing the playoffs is a big attendance issue, I think. Nothing decreases interest like having nothing to hope for at the start of a season. I can't believe the baseball playoffs used to be just 4 teams! (and 8 still isn't enough when your team is in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox)

    Eh believe me if they got rid of some teams it wouldn't be bad either.. lol Me and my dad used to joke about, well okay it was a serious convo mostly. Gettin rid of the teams like Floriday and Tampa and focusing on cities that can and will support hockey.. IE Canadian and northern US cities.. and build the NHL From there

    Oh yea and also no more Gary Bettman.. I can't stand that guy.

    I was also glad though when Minnesota got their second chance.. So glad to see a state that supports hockey so much.. have hockey again
