  1. This isn't all true..

    1. Current games should count the most??? It only makes sense.

    2. 1 week without NHL 94 isn't even bad. That is the average for most of the A leaguers

    3. Nothing wrong with only playing B players, I improve mostly from playing jackandjose all the time.

    1. When I mentioned my most recent games against you (a while back), I happen to recall you making a hissy-fit, saying something of the sort ..."what about the other night before when I beat you blah blah blah". I smell a hypocrite!

    2. 1 Week for me is a long time without playing. I am not you. I know they teach you in school that "we're all the same", but sorry to break it to you, we're not.

    3. See answer # 2.

    4. Don't be a baby, play me with Vancouver next time.

  2. Hey Raph-E, I've beat you before plenty of times, so let's not just report the current contests chico. Play only B league players, or nobody at all for a week, see how sharp you are! That's it, I challenge you to a 7-game series too!!!!!!!!

    However, there are a few pretty good B league guys, so I'm not trying to sh*t on them. It's just that when you ALWAYS play top tier guys, you improve.

    Playbax, I know you beat me often, and you're on often, which is why I'm not asking publicly to play you. But I don't poop my pants unless you select Van.

    So who will be on tonight to start a 7-game series against me? I def. have a score to settle with you Raph.

  3. For someone who got spanked 7 in a row you sure are cocky

    Yes, that's a fair statement. But I believe I'm improving against you nearly every time we play. And the goal gap has shrunk considerably. Only a matter of time before I beat you when you're Van. When you're any other team, you're nothing special and I've taken you down.

    But, you w/Van is such an intense challenge I always look forward to it.

  4. Someone could've told me Wittgenstein was awesome :P

    Hopefully two of the toughest games this season out of the way.

    Yeah he's likely one of the big guns in your division. Whoever gets to play him, pray he doesn't booze-up beforehand because he's noticeably better after a few adult beverages. And more aggressive too!

    Are we highjacking this thread?

  5. ^

    I don't subscribe to the notion that dumping or icing it is cheap when you have a lead. That's what teams do in real hockey, play it safe when they're up. It's defensive. The solution is to be a better forechecker or improve your posession game.

    IMO, nothing wrong with getting to the red line and chipping it in their zone. Minimize risk. I think playing "keep-away" aka hiding behind your own net is stupid though. It's a dead giveaway that one is scared and clinging on for dear life just to get a win. Plus you just look goofy and that's not hockey.

    Oh, and I think cheap goals like cutting across the crease are part of the game. Every time someone scores like that on me I get pissed, but at myself for not being proactive and controlling my goalie. But we're all entitled to our own opinion.

    That's what I think is so great about 94. Almost anything you don't want to happen can be prevented. In 93 you have those wrap arounds that can't be stopped. In 95 you can score from the red line all day with Rob Ray's slow on the ice slapper. Even if you control your goalie, it will still go in oftentimes. But 94 is the best of all the hockey games because there aren't many excuses when things don't go your way (aside from penalties).

  6. You forgot to mention the night before when I won every exi lol

    Yes, you did beat me every game the first night we played. I purposefully left that out for a # of reasons.

    1) Because it makes me look better

    2) It was my first experience playing against you & I had no idea how to stop you offensively

    3) Because you'll never beat me that badly again

    4) I feel our lastest get-together showcased my ability better than the 1st time

    5) Because it is fun to talk smack to an extent (didn't I shut you out in the final game we played?) :cry:

    6) I had to get ya back for a funny comment ya made on IM after I said I think I can hang with the big boys :D

    7) Because all of the above will make you want to beat me that much more next time.

  7. Hey, thanks for the plug Raph! I was just reading this & was about to comment that I can't wait to be considered in the top tier. After about a 10-year absence, it's so cool to play this game again against such good competition. I've played some great games in the past week with Wittengstien, Hokkee, & You. Finally got around to playing TomKabs too. On Wed. we played 7 total games in a row, he won 4, I won 3. So much fun playing all you guys. Can't wait to challenge more of you in exhibitions. All these thumb-aching contests I feel are helping me improve and shake off rust quickly.
