  1. Hey guys,

    I sorry I had to pull out this season. I just have so much

    going on right now I can barely stop to breath it seems.

    I really hate dropping as defending champ.

    On the flip side, I'm almost certain I wouldn't have repeated.

    I was able to play a few games, and man everyone was super tough.

    I was lucky to win the games I did, and outlaws and schwartz were

    really in control of almost every game we did play.

    Looking at the standings the parody is better than ever.

    Who ever wins this year will have a ton of respect from me, the A

    league is maybe the toughest ever.

  2. Ya. Some of it was pitts & some of it was dumb luck that I

    went 16-1. I played a handful of games that were 1 goal or tied

    games going into 3rd. I think it happend vs u in game 3, was tied 2-2

    and you setup a wide open net one timer, and I believe my player stopped it.

    Seconds later I came down and scored. I had a game like that every series where

    my opponent had a grade A chance to take a lead, didn't capitalize and I came

    back not 20 seconds later & scored.

    Would be nice to have you back Oilers. I'd like the league to be as deep

    as possible. Bringing the guys I mentioned back makes wins that much tougher,

    and I think makes it alot more competitive.

    If Jota comes back, wait till you guys see some of he's moves.

    Very creative player

  3. I wanna thank halifax for running such a great league. I know

    he's not alone and I'm missing a few props to a few others that helped.

    These guys do a great job, I had fun coming back to 94.

    Thanks to Xot82 for recording the games, you can view them in the video's

    section. I'm sure he wasn't thrilled about posting a series he lost, but

    the video was posted a few hours after the series was over.

    I really wanted to win 1 title, after having lost years ago to Jota in 7.

    So I had the best teams 1 through 10 ranked, and got lucky, drafted the best

    team in the game imop. They are a huge handful. All of them big & can hit.

    Not to mention a guy at center that can score goals very few players in the game

    can score. Some of you say that skill is greater than the team you draft.

    I agree somewhat, however there's a handful of players very close in skill in this

    league, and I just don't think its fair when Schwartz has to hit mario 3 times to knock

    him down, and all his whalers crumble when hit back.

    I look forward to defending my title, and playing more for fun next time.

    I also hope guys like Grayto, JotaC, and oilers94 can join next season. 2 Previous

    champions, and I know oilers can handle himself in any 94 league.

    Now we just need the Leafs to win the cup and everything will be well in the world

    once again. :)

  4. My thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I didn't read all the posts in this thread, but I read something about no A & B leagues.

    I have to say that A & B are a must, we can't have them all mixed it together.

    If you look at the winter league (halifax's) as an example, theres a big gap between the

    say top 6 or 7 & the rest of the league. Its leading to lots of blowouts & lots of frustration, which

    will force many to quit.

    This game is suppose to be fun, & I hate seeing guys get frustrated. Many games I held back alot to

    prevent from blowing people out. Even costs me a game or 2. I don't enjoy hammering people , I'd

    rather lose a close one, than win 8-0.

    I think all previous year's A players that made the playoffs should be put back into A

    Then maybe the Stanley cup winner & runner up in B should get promoted.

    Finally, anyone else who wants in A should be forced to play a series against Deer, Kid, Rudy,

    they don't have to win, but just make it respectable, & let the elite A guys decide if they can handle the league.

  5. Not sure you got my gist there. Jota should be more insulted about what I said than you. I was implying that he often gives half assed efforts (intentionally or not I don't know), obviously in the regular season, but in the early parts of playoff series too (exhibit A: Games 1 & 3 in Pokerchamps series. Exhibit B: Game 1 in Rudy's. It happened in mine too, though doesn't show in the scores, I don't think I got the A game treatment until game 6) and the fact that it appears he didn't give any half assed efforts in yours means he took you more seriously than the rest of us, at least that's what I was trying to say. But if you say you played bad...

    Ya I don't agree with that either

    He just wins the key games. Maybe theres alittle toying at times but bottom line in my opinion he has alittle luck on his side too.

    Game 2 vs me & a chance to go up 2-0 he wins double OT game that I really led whole way

    then Game 4 with chance to go up 3-1 he wins 5-4 scores late in 3rd

    then Game 5 biggest game of series he knocks out selanne, & deer will learn soon how bad Winn is without selanne.

    He's like the Montreal Canadians the last time they won the cup... you guys remember, they won so many OT games 8 straight I believe. Skill for sure, but also some luck involved.

    I'd also like to say that I started playin my series vs Jota the same time I went to sleep the night before, & hadn't played in 5 days

    If I would have known how long it would take Kid & Mcmarkis to play there series I would have waited till I wasn't so tired.

    He also played 4 or 5 games vs me right before playin the Kid, I didn't have that kind of preperation for any of my series not even close.

    LOL ... You angered some of us with those comments!!

    I was a rookie this season, if he wins the winter league I will bend over at that point.

    But me personally, there's no other player I want a series with right now, give me JOTA 1st round!!!!!

  6. Congrads to Jota

    This season was somewhat of a mess.

    But hopefully next season can provide a much more intense regular season.

    There's alot of players I'd love to have a playoff series with, Mike, Rudy, Deer, Kid, Mcmarkis,Scwartz, Shak, Jota again.......

    Hopefully all the above will be commited next season, this has been a great way for me to unwind from time to time......

    As for the finals.... i must say I was suprised to hear about the sweep.

    I think Jota is the best with his goalie & he's always able to make big saves in tight games. Very impressive run this season as he beat Chicago Mike, Rudy with Detroit, Me..., & Kid with Pitts in the finals. He had the toughest road possible, so there's no ? who's #1 right now..

  7. Well, I've been writing about all my series wins, so I think its only fair to write about my losses too!

    I really didn't get any practice games in this week whatsoever. I kept waking up at 12 & couldn't find anyone to play.

    Jota said he hadn't played much either, so it was a level playing field, but I keep thinking now that maybe we both could have played on a higher level if we had gotten some games in. (Thanks to bloodythroats for the few games I did get in)

    As good as I remember

    Game 1: Jota said he was nervous. He played pretty bad. Probably gave up half way through & this game was over quickly. I knew there was no chance the rest of the series would go like this & I kept thinking that I had to win game 2. 9-2 Winn

    Game 2: Was the best game I've been in all season. I had a 2 goal lead going into the 3rd. There weren't many chances but Jota managed to tie it up, & he made some big saves to send it to O.T. OT was really defensive, not alot of chances for either player. This was a first for me this season as we went the whole OT without a goal. 2nd OT & Hull gets in & picks the corner.

    5-4 St Louis

    Game 3: I got an early lead & never looked back. 7-2 Winn

    Game 4: Jota took the early lead. I kept tying it up, & he would take the lead again. I believe it was tied when he scored the winner with 2 minutes left. He probably made a big save or too & held on for the win. 5-4 St Louis

    Game 5: Again the nightmare happens. Selanne gets injuried in the 1st period, & is out for the game. To make matters worse Jota scores shorthanded on the Winn PP. Jota then knocks out Selanne's replacement Davydov. Jota had the lead & kept a 2goal lead the whole way. 5-3 St Louis

    Game 6: This game was really tight. Tied going into the 3rd, when I scored a couple of quick goals to ice the win. 7-4 Winn

    Game 7: This was a frustrating game for sure. It was tied at 1 early when Steen misses a onetimer for a sure goal. He then takes a penalty immediatly after. Jota scores on the PP takes a 2-1 lead. Selanne somehow finds himself with an open net as the goalie is out of position. But the D-man saves a goal & Jota comes back & scores. Jota built a big lead but somehow I get 2 fluky goals to get myselft back in the game. I was thinking maybe somehow I could pull this one out. But It wasn't meant to be.

    Pokerchamp with his head down, picks up his clubs & heads straight for the course.

    I had a blast playin this season. Thanks so much to those who run the site Evan, Schwartz, groundsedit ( I believe)

    You guys do a great job, I hope you'll let me play again next season.

    Great series Jota. You played great, the better man one. I'm not quite at that level yet.

    GL in the finals!

  8. Is it that much of a problem on the Genesis version

    SNES A -- final 4 Winnipeg, St Louis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh

    Ok 1 elite team in the bunch. Chic, Det, Bos, Buff, Montr, ALL GONE

    I'd like to throw out a challenge to anyone on SNES than complains about teams

    7 game series, you pick both our teams just no allstar teams, or u can't give me Ottawa, Florida, Anaheim cause they can't accept passes!

    Maybe its a bigger factor in the Genesis version, I'm sick of hearing about

    this team crap.

    How bout next season we all play with Pittsburgh.

    Every game is Pitts vs Pitts 40 games of Pitts vs Pitts

    The top 8 Pittsburgh's make the playoffs

  9. I agree with all of this except your last point. Just because you're a good player means you can't use a team you like? That's not really fair either. Weighted lottery is good though.

    The one thing I think is that the champion be allowed to pick FIRST no matter what. Sure, it's a little unfair... but they won the whole thing, thereby earning it. It gives the champion some sort of reward other then bragging rights.

    If I win the cup, I definately don't want to pick 1st.

    Weighted lottery is a fine idea, I think that would be fair, & would be somewhat interesting as well.

    I don't think many players who win the cup would choose a strong team even if they got 1st pick.

    Look at KGman & JOTA neither picked an elite team.

    The best players IMOP want a challenge & so would more often pick weaker teams.

    I wish we could make trades in this game, that would be cool.

    Or play with updated rosters.

    Who would be the best team today... San Jose maybe?? Thorton, Cheechoo, Marleau sweet

  10. For SNES A

    I think we should have 16 teams max for starters.

    There's just not enough strong players to have more than that.

    16 teams only 8 make playoffs.

    We need to make getting into the playoffs a challenge, or if not whats the

    point of a regular season. You can have a loser's bracket playoff with the

    8 teams that didn't make it if u want, maybe that losers bracket could determine

    who stays in A & who doesn't.

    I'd really like to see the regular season get more competitve. Nothing against these

    2 guys but I don't want to see JOTA & Shakazzuzu doing what they did this season.

    1 playin no games cause it doesn't matter. The other just coasting, not really trying cause

    it doesn't matter.

    I want these 2 guys in league for sure, I just want to play them at there best.

    lol of course I will see that in my next series

    I think team selection should be different too. Whoever missed the playoffs the previous season

    or the new A players should get 1st crack at the teams to level the field a bit.

  11. Hey I got it to work!!

    The name of the snes rom must match the movie exactly... except for file extension.

    You must then run nhl94 rom then open the movie.

    At least thats what I had to do. Also you can't change screen size or interupt it... I think..

    cause I did the first time & it showed a pitts/Montreal game that wasn't part of the series.. I don't know how.

    Was the worse game ever, I was gonna yell at u 2 lol!!

    Next time you make a series package like that, don't tell me the outcome

    would be better to watch if I didn't know what happend.... would be better than watching real

    hockey probably lol!!

    You put up a great fight Shak. Lemieux is tough to handle.

    I never really play with Montreal but I was alittle suprised by your subs.

    I'm sure you know whats best seeing how u play with them so much

    Is it hard to make a movie like that?

  12. I seriously don't see that happening. We can't expect 20 people to agree on a single convenient time for everybody. We just need people who really want to play.

    rudy

    Well, I disagree with your disagreement. I realize not everyone will be free at the same time. But I think many people do want to play, its just they don't have time to check AIM all day to see who's available to play.

    We don't have to have a set night, we can even announce it in the forum from time to time. Say we announce Monday 7-10 (assuming this time is one of the better times for everyone) Of course not everyone will be on, but I'm willing to bet if we had a setup like that, Monday night AIM would be busier than usual & people would have easier time finding games. Not to mention people who are behind could play some catchup.

    I really think its a good idea, but hey, we should just try it out 1 time & see how it goes.

    I'm willing to bet if we tried it out we'd get 7 or more people on AIM at the same time (a record I think)

  13. PaulCoffeySon is having problems with udp. I would assume this is because of port forwarding, but I can't be sure. We both have been able to play other people and it was fine.

    I think thats your problem. Tell PaulCoffey to plug his interent directly into computer (for just your series) & use UDP instead of TCP. It even says in the zsnes manual to use UDP, that lag is more possible using tcp (I think). Maybe you could both find a time when you could both plug your modem's directly into cpu & use UDP for just the series.

    I think though if your able to use UDP then just have PaulCoffey plug the internet directly into the cpu & use UDP.

    IF your both able to use UDP that should help alot.

  14. well I don't read every single post on the site like you do rocky!

    Funny I was actually going to 2nd the motion to kick you out.....

    but then thought I would just mind my own business.

    ---- I would still try just plugging modem into cpu directly, you've got nothing to lose by trying.

    Have you tried different settings in zsnes like TCP as well as the other one UDP.

    maybe go into the zsnes file & read up on lag stuff

  15. I don't understand all these lag problems. There's only 1 guy in SNES I have lag problems with.

    Can you connect with other players no problem PaulCoffey.

    Do you have high speed internet.

    Do you have a good computer?

    Are you really Paul Coffey's son?

    I really hate seeing playoff series being ruined by lag, lag completely ruins

    the game.
