Ya that honor belongs to me, I'm the only guy that made it past the first round in Wales who is still active.
-
pretty sure rockyrmjc was banned from the forums
-
Ya some of the teams in the US have great markets, especially when they are winning.
-
They have both been invisible online, except the one time they tried online.
-
yes but this would significantly shift the balance of the power ranking if only 8 people get in instead of 16. SO it likely would need to be looked at.
-
I haven't seen either of those guys on for a while, they had connection problems the only time they tried, but I haven't seen either of them. Sorry I couldn't win so I could finish this with you

Ya. This is making fun of the all star voting process, which is a problem in any sport where people can vote for all stars.
Hockey is in the shitter in the states because ESPN didn't give hockey the coverage they deserved and with the lockout committed to basketball more but for too long. Hockey gets very little coverage in the states, that and people just want to watch football, baseball, or basketball instead anyways. I'm really one of the people who believes that the nhl has franchises in weak places that shouldn't exist or should exist elsewhere.
Anyways I live in Canada, so my hockey coverage is fine, and so is the passion for the game (even though I don't have an NHL or CHL team in my city).
But seriously Vote Rory is key.

Basically poeple everywhere are trying to get everybody to vote for Rory Fitzpatrick D VAN into the all star game. Hes not on the main ballot but you can write in a player, and at the last posted results, he was in 5th. Yes thats right 5th.
Everybody go to nhl.com and vote on your all star ballot and write Rory Fitzpatrick in as one of your defenseman. DO not vote for pronger lidstrom phanuef or neidemayer.
You can vote as many times as you liek(and also enter the triop to all star game contest as much as you like)
VOTE RORY INTO THE ALLSTAR GAME

I've had a great time in this league already. Of course I'm past the midpoint when most teams haven't started or barely have, so I have alot of games in. 19 games left expecting to need at least 12 wins. Its gunna be tough in this field.
-
Ya, it looks like the playoff system is getting changed next year anyways, so it'll likely need to be totally redone. My suggestion would be to go status quo until new league setting are up, but if you got the time, its your project, and any rules will work.
-
The only thing that sucks about not giving people points for ff wins is that in a lot of cases the people awarded ff wins, got them because they people they were supposed to play made themselves unavailable. As for the 5 games a week thing, a lot of people front load or back load their games. I know I only had 5 days to play the 25 I played last year (very late replacement). Also the last 40 games played thing would be excessively difficult to do, because you'll have to look through individual games in previous seasons.
Realize that Evan and co have said the next season will likely have leagues that may have more or less games than 40 so keep that in mind before these other more difficult changes are put in place.

ROUND 2 done LETS GET THIS BALL ROLLIN!!!
I choked in my series so i need my nhl94 fix
-
Game 3: 2-1 philly
1st 2 philly goals 2nd 1 buf goal
Game 4: 5-4 ot philly
philly first the 2 buf in 1st second buf goes up 4-1 phi scores end of period third phi sores 2 early to tie end of period buf has about 7 wrap around chances. ot after stopping lindros on breakaway he gets one timer and puts it away
Game 5: 4-3 buf
1st 2 goals by mogilny 2nd 1 phi mogilny and lafontaine 3rd long 5 on 3 2 phi goals
Game 6: 8-2 Philly
FUHR was terrible brindamour was a machine d was outta position the entire game
I coudl do nothing right this game teh Ai was definately not helping at all, missing breakaway passes they get all season
The series basically was full of great defense and great manual goaltending which owned me. I am pretty sure i out chanced him fairly wel, but he handled it well. If I didn't blow the game 4 then I would have probably won.
I really think this guy could be going the distance.
Great series PaulCoffeySon and I look forward to revenge and to next season.

After 2 weeks of delay the first 2 games finally got underway in Buffalo.
Game One: A very defensive affair, where Philadelphia hit several posts after 2 periods was tied 0-0.
The third period saw buffalo score one about 2 minutes in, and then an answer by philly.
Looked like it was going into OT, but the sabres managed to get one late to take the opener 2-1.
Game 2 was a different game, but the intensity was just as high. The scoring opened quickly as mogilny got open. Yet again philly answered in the same period. the second was intense but not much happened. The third had buffalo open the scoring again and things looked good. Philly then took a penalty to make things look better. This was a false sense of security as philly broke out and tied the game up short handed. Then the juggernaut Lindros took the puck up ice and muscled off the entire team and scored to win the game and tie the series up at two.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series, and hope we can get it in.

OK time for me to chime in. I'm all for the reduced playoffs to something like 12 teams, so that the regular season becomes important. A solution to teams at the bottom who become eliminated not playing their games could be:
(These are assuming 20 team leagues with 12 making playoffs)
1)Once a relegation or promotion system is in place(if thats what you guys want). Have the bottom 2(or however many) teams relegated to a lower division. This means those guys will play to the bitter end if they want to stay in the higher division.
2)Instead of this (or if no relegation system) have the bottom 8 compete in a playoffs (4 from each conference, seeded by points), to determine who gets first picks in next years team draft, winners get first pick, runner up second, semi finals(tie breaker is points), then first round losers. This will get those teams some playoff positioning of their own, make it competitive while at the same time, giving those guys who played well during the season a different distinction (the top 12 in stanley cup playoffs). Also if a relegation system is used this could be here.
3)For the bottom 8 teams, the team with the most points at end of season gets first pick for teams. Same as above, but no playoffs.
That said, anybody who would get an actual ff loss for any reason, SHOULD NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Ties are a different story.

-

-
Eww just played a game on SNES9.x can't get the screen to a size i like, if i stretch its too wide, if i don't its too small.
-
alternatively, whoever recorded the saves, can record them with a different program(fraps or something simliar) to convert to a different format, either way works.
-
I have to hand it to ya rocky er i mean fred or frank...you are quite creative....good luck with your league...and i think you meant to say 'our' site.
Meh your leagues is full halifax, don't worry if it is him or somebody else.
-
He can only play in TCP. This is fine for alot of games but in some cases tcp will lead to lag and or sync problems (playing 2 different games). Since neither is really worth playing through the only way this will get done is if paulcoffeyson can figure out how to get udp working, so I don't get the client found problem.
-
I'm here anytime now. Leave me a message and I'll get to it when i see it, my aim will be on all night.
