SSiG

We have ASG cowards I'll fight for the Wales conference. I wanna go out with a win

There should be one player from each team on the All Star rosters, so that every team is representated, no matter how pathetic they were. Hence, Doug Gilmour should be on the Wales Conference All Star Team, as a backup of course

I pull the goalie and I don't regret it. There's no way back at like 5-0 for players like me. No need to keep getting humiliated, right? I would only support this if a mercy rule was in place for any league games. I've been pushing for a mercy rule for a long time, and I think this is as good a time as ever to propose it for total mismatches.

5 commitments is rather thin...I'd like to wait a weekend to see if the other non-playoff GM's would like to play.

I fight for those who play with the keyboard, even though I will be using a controller. I intend on winning the Spring league I'm in this season, and atributing it to the hard times with the keyboard that made me tough. Just watch angryjay, I'm going to strike a blow for past and present keyboard players!

I wasn't going easy on you. I'm just not that good until I get my controller

I'll let D decide if he'll allow that. The 2nd season is a full redraft anyway, so it won't matter much.

Thing is: This is the norm for me My passing % usually never goes over 40%

I have a pair of screenshots to present to show that I am indeed the worst passer online. Funny how both of these games were wins for me & Are these close to the record for worst passing in a win?

My 1st win was against Setar I think. I got lucky and knocked him off in overtime as either Detroit or NY Rangers. My 1st shutout came in the Draft League, a 2-0 Devils win over the Maple Leafs I think.

The new AIM sucks. I had it for one day and was utterly disgusted.

Mine is ScottStevensNJD4. I've opened myself to exhibitions again in hopes of getting prepared for the Spring league.

Yeah...I'm gonna get an NHL AIM name, once I find a program that will clone AIM and let me run 2 names at once I do have a name set though. When I find a cloner, the NHL AIM name for me will be ScottStevensNJD4. EDIT: Found one, I'm on that name now.

I did miss the playoffs...by a mile. In fact, if Quebec gets one point from their final 3 games, I will finish in dead last. The non-postseason teams playoff is probably only gonna be 4 teams, since I haven't seen much interest from players who aren't in.

The race to avoid the cellar seems to be over now. Despite a split with the Jets, the Devils will finish in last place on goal difference. Even though they hold the series with Quebec, it is assumed that the Nordiques will get at least one more point. On that note, here are the bottom 4 with New Jersey's season complete. 15. jj2k (EDM) 8-42-0-4, 20 points *2 games remain* 16. DaDonch44 (TB) 8-43-0-3, 19 points *2 games remain* 17. edisaurusrex (QUE) 7-41-0-5, 19 points *3 games remain* ---------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Magus978 (NJ) 7-44-0-5, 19 points *Season Complete* Quebec has goal differential working in their favor, but lost the season series to the Devils. Again, it is assumed that Quebec will take at least one point from their final 3 games, all against the Maple Leafs.

Gilmour's 50th Helps Devils to Split, But Not Out of Cellar Well, at least it's finally over. The Devils season ended the same way it started, with a loss. After taking a shock 4-3 OT win over the Jets at the Brendan Byrne Arena in their final home game of the year on the wings of Doug Gilmour's 50th goal of the season, they drop their finale 4-1 in Winnipeg, giving them a split of the hard-nosed Jets, and ending a season full of frustration, heartbreak, depression, and anger. The fans who were calling for coach Tom Delgado's head finally got it after the 4-1 defeat, as he announced to the media that he was leaving his dream job effective immediately. "There has been no improvement this season. I'm extremely disappointed that I only got 7 wins out of these guys. The kind of stuff we did out on the ice all year is NOT how winning is done. With that, someone who knows how to win should be brought in. Therefore, I resign as head coach of the New Jersey Devils, effective IMMEDIATELY. You guys got what you wanted. You got the underdog out of here. I have nothing more to say about the team, the season, or anything else. Get the hell out of my way, I'm done with you people" Delgado said, angrily shoving his way out of the arena and to his car. Most Devils fans will not forget the way he celebrated the team's 1st win of the season, rushing out on the ice and demanding the game puck from the ref, then getting splashed with Gatorade...and being frozen on the bench for 3 days, with New Jersey police having to thaw him out. Delgado's Nightmare Season Ends, Resigns Immediately After

I believe he's just been very busy with school or something. Not sure 100%. Also note how I'm the only one who will have to struggle for one win. No wonder some other unlucky soul will have to be the Devils next season

I'm not gonna be here next season, but I think this is a great idea. GM's can choose 2 players to keep, and then boom...they have their franchise players.

I'm not going to torture myself with anymore 9-0 beatings until I can find a place that sells controllers and doesn't charge my entire wallet for shipping, so I'm giving my notice before this season ends. Gonna spend the time practicing for the Spring league and finishing my NHL 94 - Director's Cut hack instead. Good luck with Season 2, if you need a GM in the middle of that season, lemme know.

Tampa won another game and got another point, putting New Jersey back in the cellar. It looks like this now. 15. jj2k (EDM) 8-42-0-4, 20 points *2 games remain* 16. DaDonch44 (TB) 8-43-0-3, 19 points *2 games remain* 17. edisaurusrex (QUE) 7-41-0-5, 19 points *3 games remain* ---------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Magus978 (NJ) 6-43-0-5, 17 points *2 games remain* Remaining Schedules In the Great Escape Edmonton @ Philadelphia @ Toronto Tampa Bay @ Toronto (2) Quebec Toronto @ Toronto (2) New Jersey Winnipeg @ Winnipeg From looking at the remaining schedules, it looks like New Jersey has the toughest road to travel if they want any shot at making the great escape. Scribe's Jets will play extremely hard despite not having anything to play for, while takeyourpill's Flyers are playing for playoff momentum and positioning.

Chris, I should have asked you when we talk on AIM, but I need to know... How did you change the music to the Hockey Night in Canada theme? I'm thinking of wanting to do something like that for my hack.

Me and CamKneely did a test of the online play today, and it passed after we figured out what we were doing Penguins (CamKneely) d. NY Islanders (SSiG) 3-1 Goalscorers Mike Bossy (NYI) Evgeni Malkin (PIT) Mario Lemieux (PIT, 2) Only had 2 penalty minutes, so the action seems slick and fast paced. Not to toot my own horn, but this is the most fun I've had in a losing effort in a long time On development notes, Columbus is going to be the next team to get done, along with some minor ratings tweaks. Some Western Conference juggernauts are next on my to-do list. Detroit, Dallas, Colorado, and San Jose are due up soon. ETA: February 2007

We're not gonna give Dougie Gilmour some love for carrying the Devils to 6 wins? Without him, we're going into the final games winless.

Gretzky only played with the Blues for like half a season. My requirement to be on a roster for non-expansion teams is 3 seasons, or one really huge season. As for expansion teams, basically anything goes as far as players are concerned.

Update. I'm getting help from CamKneely on ratings, so hopefully within the next week or so, the input of players will be stepped up. I'll be in Atlantic City tomorrow, so no work will be done, but when I get back into the swing of things on tuesday, I will continue to put players in and put ratings in. If you want to help, just IM me on AIM (Magus978), or send me an e-mail with the team you wanna give me ratings for. *e-mail available upon request*
