Anaheim beat Washington in the finals, by the way. Came back from 3-1 down to win it in 7. And here are the Season 14 final standings. I played a 36 game season and gave 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw (no shootouts). Teams play their own division twice, and everyone else once. The Western Conference plays one additional "random draw" game to get to 36. Buffalo managed to get through the entire season without a tie!

Really enjoying the rom. My only issue is that every player has virtually the same rating. There's no real distinction between the "star" players and the "good" players. I don't know if this was deliberate or not.

This is the single greatest thing i have seen on the Internet in probably years! I might freak some of you out a little, but i've been not only playing NHL 98 and the original NHL Hockey since they both came out, but i've been KEEPING STATS in a notebook (and more recently in Excel) the entire time, playing entire seasons + playoffs in exhibition mode with BOTH controllers, controlling both teams. I've finished 12 seasons in that time, and am currently in the Conference semi-finals in season 13 (Anaheim/LA, Colorado/Phoenix, Pittsburgh/Boston, and Florida/Washington, if you're interested!) If you're not frightened yet, then i'll tell you that i was 8 years old when i started doing this! Not every day of course, or else i'd probably be in season 50! I had already set up my season 14 "regular season" schedule, but i clearly need to ditch it completely just to play it on this rom! Amazing work!
