Uncle Seth

I'm out. Retiring. Old Seth requires too much practice vs high level opponents just to stay sharp which I haven't been getting. Also, I'm extremely frustrated lately and I have no idea why. Stuff never used to phase me. Maybe the meds need to be upped, LOL, who knows. This has nothing to do with my recent performance in my series vs Ice. It's been going on for a while. Funny but true, it has played out this way even in real hockey as I haven't scored a goal in months, despite millions of chances. Just not in the right frame of mind these days I guess. Could be stress but I can't identify any cause of it. Maybe I'll be back someday. Other than that, I'm fine, still same old clown. Wish all you buds best of luck. zzz Eh, nevermind. What the hell would I do every night? I'd have to find a new hobby. Can't think of anything else that interests me, so I reverse my decision purely on those grounds. I think I'd go MORE insane not playing. Feels good to be back! LOL

OK we can do Friday 8pm.

Ho-tel, mo-tel, holiday-inn

Rochester's finest are facing off this weekend.

We can try Saturday Darko

You're in a hissy fit over hypothetical situations Adolf. I'm in no way a threat to any of his stat records he's chasing. I've always played my games vs him. He has a preference get them done right away and have a preference to push them later in the season. We usually meet in the middle. I don't see that as selfish. And lastly, aside from the first couple weeks, I have been on mostly very late at night when it's just me, Lupz and JV around.

Gotta love a commish who makes up new rules mid season.

Best of luck Plabber, I know you'll at least be around to chime in on threads.

Lots of good ideas TK. But I like the hook button. And I don't believe in momentum.

The only BIG thing I'd like to see fixed in GENS is goalie control being acquired instantly (using the B button) instead of the delay. Oh wait, one more detail I'd like to see fixed. I wish penalties would only be called against you if YOU were controlling the player committing the infraction. So I'd like to see an end to CPU taking penalties.

That's what I call the "choke bug". It can be pretty gross.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

great stuff Ice. I think if I met JR I'd tell him how much I loved how he'd always deck somebody open ice in the All-Star Game. Keep the pics coming.

The culprit here is, as has been said....CB. Also known as the "great equalizer","death from distance", and "lights out lightweight". In your defense, you were away for a while during the time when this tactic was discovered (credit Plabs) and made the front page news. However, it doesn't affect who lightweights can knock over, they can still C check almost everyone.

During the entire 30 minute standstill, there was not one mention from him of the play being a "money goal, or it would have been a goal anyway" type talk. If that was the case (to which I say it wasn't) wouldn't you think he'd say something of that sort? Hmmmmm, a little odd isn't it? His argument during this time period was that he made the hit so he deserved a scoring chance. I mentioned the unwritten rule/code and his response was "I've never heard of anything like that". To suggest I didn't want the empty net goal to tie it is a mind boggling and false, as that is what this whole ordeal was about. The ball was entirely in A.J.'s court. He agreed to do the ethical thing after and even the score by pulling his tender, but then changed his mind because he wasn't (per the rules) required to do so. He had every right to keep that goal, rules are rules and it was legal. I've never paused a game, debated any goal, quit a game, broken a controller. I always flip the puck away when someone gets goalie locked. I don't turn around for a 2nd attempt if the puck is poked from me on a penalty shot. If shooting the puck results in a goal after the whistle, I pull my goalie. I don't throw fairness out the window to gain an advantage. When more than 1 person mentioned that my team trade with Voc (Que for Phi) was unbalanced based on statistics, I retracted it with Voc. So I'm either a whistle-blower or a sore loser, depending on what lenses you're wearing.

I wasn't trying to get GC, knew Granato was too fast, just wanted to get a defenseman to strip it from him with his 3 sth. Of course it's a money goal when I can't see what's going at 1mph chop-lag. And anyone who plays regularly me could vouch for my gamesmanship. I pressed enter suggesting we wait for a ruling a split second after reading that you agreed to pull your goalie. Then the light went off in your head that, "hey maybe I don't have to now". Obviously that's what this was all about, I wanted you to do the right thing and pull him. You retracted that offer after Raph wrote back that there's no rule in place in instances like this. But you said your side of it and and so did I. With no video, it's your word vs mine.

Classic win for the ages. With series 2-1 in his favor, game 4 ensues............... A little over 2 minutes left in the 3rd, and the score tied 5-5, he has the puck by the right corner after a hit, a literally 5 second frozen lag moment shows up as this is happening. He keeps skating, with Seth paralyzed....and puts it past Hextall for the goal in slow motion. This was no typical lag, this was like at flipping through the sketches of a cartoon being made speed, frame by frame. Game gets paused immediately after. Now the decent human being thing to do would be to pull your own goalie and allow a goal to make the game tied as it was before the lag-f*ck of the century. But no, not A.J. He deems it a "bounce". This ultra slow-mo lag happened earlier in the series, and I can't recall if it was me or him, but one of us paused it since it's unplayable. We debate the unwritten rule while a half hour passes by. One would think the good sportsmanship light bulb would go on, after all this is the finals and it's a pretty important goal. Oh oh, I almost forgot, he did agree to pull his goalie. But then thought better after hearing back from Raph that there was no rule in place and changed his mind. Seth has no choice but to move on. It crashes so we restart another game and agree to play 2 minutes of it with A.J.'s artificial lead in place. Time ticks away and game 4 is in the books. I never thought anyone on this site would act in such a way, especially A.J. Seemed like a great guy in person and over the years I've had not a bad word to say. But this is a video game, and why let ethics and fairness get in the way of that. True colors come through though. Just wow, that's all I can say. This one certainly was memorable but I'm not mad. I'd say shocked is more accurate. Just strongly felt the community should be aware of it. I won't participating in any leagues that he's involved in from this point on. Maybe a rule should be put in place that games get paused when lag gets unplayable? And before anyone tries to defend this, let's be honest here, each and every one of you would be fuming if this happened to you. So hypocrites need not apply.

revised 12/26

pics ppl, I wanna see!

Laughed my ass off. I was waiting patiently for this video and it exceeded expectations. Oh man, too much. The book, hahaha, major props there. The music, overall setting, comments, effort, cue the applause. Santa does it again.

Looking to trade 2nd stringers for yours of the same.

...

^thanks big guy!

^haha No I need a link to that thread that I ask for every year. The one that explains the line sub situation. Otherwise it may be even WORSE with me for line changes than it already is.

On the block: - Juneau: 5/4/4 skater,4 power,3 acc,4 pass - J.Murphy: 7/4/4 skater,4 power,3 acc,4 pass - Khymlev: 7/4/3 skater,4 power,4 acc,3 pass - Carpenter: 7/4/4 skater,4 pass, zzz shot Looking for: - Forwards with either more speed, agility, shot accuracy, or stickhandling. Maybe even a bugger. Willing to do a 2 for 1 possibly too. - Defense with more speed or better shot. PM me on here if you have any ideas.
