  1. Well it was an easier series than I expected, but Fenty did give me an early scare! Game 1: Fenty's 1st playoff game, & I thought he might come out flat as I did my first post season game. This was the worst game I've seen fenty play, I probably coud have won this game by even more. 6-1 Winn Game 2: This was a great hockey game. Back & Forth the whole way, never more than 1 goal separating the 2 teams. It was 5-4 Fenty when I scored with 30 seconds left to even it up. Blake then took a penalty with 1 second left & I knew I'd have the edge going into O.T. I poured it on in overtime. Within a minute Selanne is hauled down on a breakaway & gets awarded a Penalty Shot. Fenty made one of the best saves I've seen in 94 as he made a quick glove save off a selanne wrist shot. The next 2 minutes I had chance after chance, the puck must have been in the LA zone for over 2 minutes!!!!! That was the best goaltending display I've ever seen, at least 4 or 5 point blank saves. Fenty then came back the other way and scored on a rocket one-timer & took game 2 6-5 LA Game 3: I had a 1-0 lead early in the period & what I feared most happend. Blake rocks Selanne who lay motionless on the ice. I await the injury report, & sure enough out for the game! Fenty even scored a short handed goal on the ensuiing Winninpeg PP to tie it at 1. At this point I thought I might be in some big trouble. But I managed ok without selanne & won 6-3 I think fenty missed a big opportunity, and momentum was back in my favour. Game 4: 5-1 Winn Game 5: 9-5 Winn After game 3 I really had all the momentum & never looked back. I think fenty was at a disadvantage not being able to play his 1st round games. But as always fenty was a great sport! He's improved alot over last season & is slowly climbing the SNES ladder. I expect Fenty to get even better next season!!! As for me, I get my first crack at the seemingly unbeatable JotaC & the St. Louis Blues. I'm really looking forward to this series, it will be a war for sure!!!!
  2. does the Genesis version have left & right D-control
  3. That was hillarious Schwartz, wish my writeups were that good. Your all class man, & a terrific sport! That series looked awesome. I had a chance to play a few exhibition games vs Mcmarkis & he was playin a perfect style with the Flyers. I think he could give the shak/caper winner a good run! You played me as well as anyone Schwartz, I think your right up there with the best of them. You just gotta pick a different team..... do you live in Hartford or something?? The Whalers are such a wimpy team, hard to matchup against teams like Pitts, Chic, or Det. I know well see Schwartz next season sporting a new Whalers jersey! One of these days he'll pick a real team & kill us all ya!!
  4. try pluggin internet into cpu direclty .... no router
  5. 01 Best Overall Coach - Rudy, Energymike decided this 1 for me... much tougher division so edge over deer 02 Best Sportsmanship Coach - Schwartz, everyone I played was a good sport, he seems like really nice guy though 03 Best One-Timer Coach - Fenty, he probably scored more 1 timers than anyone this season 04 Best Deke Coach - Rudy, he just scored lots of dekes on me so good conversion gets my vote 05 Best Slapshot Coach - Fenty, so few scored but fenty had a couple on me 06 Best Defensive Coach - EnegyMike -- Our first 2 he played great D, last 2 alittle more high scoring but still gets my vote 07 Best Offensive Coach - Rudy -- scored all kinds vs me. Deer scored a bunch too but only played him once so Rudy! 08 Most Improved Coach - Fenty -- last year had crap record with great team, now 4th best record in conference with LA 09 Best Coach With A Low Rated Team - Schwartz -- played with Hartford nuff said 10 Best Replacement Coach - BSDaemon & Bloody -- great effort to play games by both & paying off for BS in playoffs 11 Best Rookie Coach - Pokerchamp -- I think I'm the only rookie coach that started the season so I win ya!!!!!!!!! 12 Coach Who Stuck It Out Through The Hard Times - BSDaemon & BLOODy, took some beatings but kept playin good job If I could add 1 more category I would add Favorite coach to play --- for me EnergyMike had some fun games vs him
  6. I just wanna know who wants to play a series vs themselves!!!!!
  7. Line changes are a bad idea. NHL 94 is a very old game & the line change system isn't very good. I think it would decide games as a accidental line change would lead to breakaways. As far as parity, I think no line changes evens things out more than having them would. The lower end teams have no depth whatsoever, whereas chicago or boston coud put together 2 or even 3 good lines. All the whining on here about teams is just that whining. Look at JotaC with St Louis, just knocked off Chicago & Detroit, 2 powerhouses!!! The best way to increase parity, is to have a draft & let the newbies & those who missed the playoffs draft 1st. Having said that the elite players will still destroy the weaker ones regardless of the teams.
  8. Pittsburgh is tough no doubt. But not unbeatable. I think Chicago is a better team than Pitts, and even Boston in a way. How come no one complains about them. Pitts is big, tough to knock down, but there overall speed is slow. There beatable you just have to approach them different. I hope I get Kid in the finals to try out stategy I have for Pitts, but I don't think either one of us is looking ahead.
  9. A couple of awesome series in the 1st round.....& it gets even better in the 2nd The 2nd round will be hilghtlighted by 2 ultra heavyweight tilts Pittsburgh vs Montreal -- Shakazuzu fresh off a thrilling 7th game O.T win over the #1 seed Nordiques gets Pittsburgh as a reward. Not too many teams can handle Pittsburgh physically, but Montreal is one of them. These 2 players are pretty evenly matched, & the 2 teams are pretty evenly matched. I say flip a coin on this one, & expect a long series!!! St. Louis vs Detroit -- Jota coming off a huge 7 game series win over Chicago will have his hands full again vs the #1 seed Redwings. These 2 played a thrilling 7 game series last year that saw Jota advance after being down 3-1. You have to give the team matchup edge to Detroit on this one. But in an interview with Jota earlier, he didn't seemed concerned about the Redwing forwards, "The forwards are wussies he said, the Defense are really the strenght of that team, I'm more worried about them" I think its clear the Jota plans to play a physical game against Rudy. Another one thats tough to call..... I say flip a coin once more! Hartford vs Philadelphia -- Schwartz has been playin great lately. I expect him to come out in full force vs the Flyers. I haven't seen or played McMarkis much, so I don't really have much to say on this one. All I'll say is it will be the small finesse Whalers against the big rugged flyers. Winninpeg vs L.A -- Well I don't like to comment to much on my own series. I've played more vs Fenty than anyone else. He plays a hard hitting style & likes to score off the one timers. Its a great way to play with L.A as there 2 wingers Robitaille & Sandstrom have rockets... and of course they have 99 to set them up. Fenty has been known to knock out a player or 2 with a huge hit from Blake. So that could play a factor if Selanne gets caught with his head down. Seeing is how were both kinda new to the playoffs, I think whoever is able to put out there A game will win, its suprisingly tougher to do that in the playoffs than I expected! So there you have it! I wish some of these series could be recorded. I think SNES A is the most competitive league out there. No one being cocky in this league, & certaintly no one thinking they have no chance. Once again I'll leave the predictions to someone else
  10. good to here it... get some practice halifax we could use you in A! Don't worry about getting killed initially.... I was getting thumped for awhile, even lost 11-1 to Deer once. But I had to make little changes here & there to take my game up to the next level. 1. Had to edit lines, I always used to kill my buddies so I never changed lines. But if you watch Jota, myself, always put your best player at center. 2. Had to get SNES controller, makes a diff. 3. This is gonna sound wussy, but my thumb would always kill playin this game so I have some kind of blister tape. 4. Also changed my grip on the controller Hope some of this stuff helps you guys out. We need maybe 6 more competitve guys in A next season!!
  11. ya.. no sign of Slimeball. The rest of SNES A series are finished. Fenty gets the forfeit win unless Slime shows up somewhere. Round 2 has some great matchups!!
  12. Well it was definately a fast paced high scoring series. I was super nervous going into game 1 & played pretty bad. That was one of the most fortunate wins I've had playin 94. Blazer couldn't buy a goal, whether a post, the goalie, or even a player saved a few! Game 2 was much the same. Except this time Blazer was converting on his chances. 8-2 Van A route in Winnipeg Game 3 I finally relaxed a bit and started getting more aggressive. Although it was tough for either of us to play D as Selanne & Bure were getting behind the D for breakaways I took it 8-5 Game 4 Similiar to game 4 I felt I was playin stronger, and was taking the play to him. 9-5 Winn Game 5 This was a classic. I was up 4-2 going into the 3rd when Blazer scored 3 unanswered & took a 5-4 lead. I tied it at 5-5, & off the faceoff he made it 6-5. I tied it at 6 with 1 minute left. I then made an end to end rush with Selanne & scored with 6 seconds left to ice the series. I'm glad Blazer showed up & I didn't win by forfiet. I think I needed to go through the nervousness to get used to it. Its been a long time since I felt nervous like that. I know its just a game, but I love that feeling. You don't get it often!
  13. WOW Crazy series!!! DOn't like hearing about the lag part, hopefully you can sort that out Deer. Maybe you need a new NHL94 computer lol!! Before that series started, I knew Montreal was a tough matchup for Quebec. Quebec is a fairly balanced team that probably works best with balanced scoring. & Montreal is perhaps the most balance team, every player is solid & can hit... & plays great D After playing my first series today, I realize the nerves involved in playing these. Great sportsmanship by Deer, there's been some awesome series so far, lets hope it keeps up! .
  14. My first playoff series, I don't wanna win by forfeit. Is it that time consuming to play a playoff series, are people really that busy.. Also for Fenty, where's Edmonton Slimeball. I noticed Deer & Shak tied at 3-3... lol... Deer must be sweating bullets ya!!
  15. it ends with Deer, Caper, etc......... I'm just saying let in all the players who were committed in the previous season. Its really not alot in SNES A I definately think you should cap the teams at 16, with only 8 making the playoffs But I'm sure people will drop out so the bubble guys will get in. Especially if your combining players from A & B, some guys will get smoked and quit probably
  16. a few things Is there going to be an SNES A & B winter league I think everyone in A that was committed last year should be first on the list for the next season. So EnergyMike should definately hold a spot 2nd, In terms of picking teams can you just post the draft order when its made & we can pick teams in a thread 1-16 I know I hold a low pick & really don't want to bother picking all the teams when so many will be gone.
  17. everyone should take notes!! This is how u lose a series. No whining or complaining! I picked St in 7 but I figured it was probably a coin toss. Tough one Mike I really wanted to play you in playoffs. You got a really bad draw. Although I guess in doesn't matter as eventually you will have to go through the best. I hope your in the winter league Mike, we need players like you in SNES A!! As for Jota, great win!
  18. dude, if your not that great don't take the Islanders they suck!! Take Edmonton & T.O off the list too.. It would be funny though if you got the 1st pick & took the islanders lol!!!
  19. This is what I had in mind guys!!!!! All the new players & the ones that missed the playoffs do a random draw for picks 1-10 All the remaining players draw 11-20 or something like that. I know the #'s don't exactly work. I'd like to see less teams make the playoffs every year Say 20 teams in the league, I'd like to see maybe 12 make the playoffs then for the next season all the newbies & the ones that missed the playoffs draft 1-8 & the rest draft 9 - 20 or something like that As I said before I think all the league mainstays like Rudy, Caper, etc etc vote on how the teams are picked, how many make the playoffs & other league changes I realize that my idea's aren't necessarly the best one's ( even though I'd like to think so!!)
  20. I think we need to pick teams different. Personally I love competition & would rather see the weak players draw teams 1st. No Rudy with Det, Caper with Pitts, etc.... I'm not complaining I just want to give the weaker players a chance I'll even take the last pick
  21. Hey put me on coaches list Pokerchamp
  22. ya that was it good call BS. had to clear cache
  23. Maybe I'm the only one. But I was looking forward to playin some players. I totally forgot that fenty would get the #2 seed & figured me & chicago Mike would be 2-3. So I was looking forward to a 2nd round match with Chicago, & a third round match with Detroit or St Loius... Followed by a stanley cup with Pitts or Quebec. Personally I love a challenge & didn't want an easy path. Ironic a few were complainin about there draw & I was one that wanted a tough draw & got an easy one! Having said all that I am in no way underestimating Blazer, he beat me in the season series and he played the best very tight. I'm ready for the Bure, Selanne show!
  24. After a season of 2 controller changes... a major line change..... Now if you can believe this pokerchamp is now going threw a grip change!!!! Thats right after the regular season & days before the playoffs, pokerchamp is changing grips I assume everyone uses the classic thumb on buttons grip, but I'm changing to 2 fingers ya!!
