yeah, i agree Brutus. We should do it when we have the most able to join.

c'mon buds. Who is in for live 94 action?

I was looking to be there around midday Sunday. Depends on when others show so I maximize my time away.

Hi Skip, i am going to have to back out due to I am over committed with Classic for both systems, blitz, SDL, and an offline league. Good Luck, I hope this succeeds and maybe in the next season if a space is available i will join.

yeah, but if you are moving it does seem like the animation does not differ from a c check if you are aiming for the body.

back in the genesis mix! nice to see

i'll take Minnesota

yeah, i went into early retirement but i have refocused my addiction back on NHL94

I think C checks are most effective when using towards someone near the boards. Otherwise I b check 98% of the time. All players b check (it seems) at the same level, but the more agile players can easily get themselves in position for them. I know I aim for the body when B checking but Plabax talks about aiming for the puck too. I agree with Seth too for defense and that would be to initially focus on the defensive position instead of manual goaltending. Use the manual sparingly to stop crease cuts and slappers, and try to be conservative with your movements with the goalie until you gain more comfort. When first focusing on D I would recommend playing a more passive style. Focus on the passing lanes, either in your zone or when your opponent is breaking out. DONT CHASE THE PUCK!! For the practice with stickhandling you can use the 1v1 rom and play the computer and they will have a full team that you will have to dangle through. It will allow you to improve your puck positioning when contact comes and patience.

Just confirmed I have someone to watch kids so I am in for midday sunday

you might be right, from my understanding was that -x means i have to wager x to win 100 and +x means i have to wager 100 to win X. So my understanding is more simplistic. I guess i have some homework to do before my next odds thread :|

I'm doing this with american odds since that makes the most sense to me. This side of the league has many evenly skilled players so I think you may have a coach go 30-10 but mostly i see a lot of coaches finishing around .500 which will make for an excellent playoff. Mav (Detroit) +300 Mav is an excellent veteran and has always been at the top for every season where he was the original coach. You combine his abilities with the best team in classic and that is a winning combination. I see him finishing first in the regular season. Me (Buffalo) +400 I have a good track record in classic and Buffalo is an excellent team. I'm usually defense oriented so I will have to adjust a bit for the strength of Buffalo. darko (Vancouver) +425 With speedy light forwards Vancouver is very dangerous. The difference is playing solid D and manual goalie behind them. I think Darko does this pretty well and I see a great season for him. dexpsu (Winnipeg) +460 Its been a bit it appears since he has played but in the past he had pretty good success. If he pushes the pace with Winnipeg he will be a playoff coach and by the time you get there you have a season of recent experience and who knows. witt (Dallas) +500 I've yet to play against the Vet witt outide of 2 on 2 but I see him having a great season. Just looking at past numbers it seems that his GAA was a bit high but this side doesn't have a lot of the great offensive players like the other side of B. This then won't hurt him much if history is any indicator. jer (Chicago) +525 Jer is a really solid player that has a great lineup for dominating with JR. He can use his one timers and let Roenick run all over the ice on D. I would place jer higher but I think Chicago's O coming from a single source limits them come playoff time when people tighten things up more. pearate (Pittsburgh) +900 Pearate is a solid player but I don't see Pitt being effective in classic. He will have to find ways to keep Mario and the other heavies standing to score. Also on the back end their weight inhibits their capabilities. I think this side will be so close that the team talent is going to make or break seasons. coach (Montreal) +1100 With a great defensive team coach will have a great chance for being in every game. If he can get some scoring from Montreal then that will greatly change how he finishes but I think without the star and limited speed he will have to be playing at the top of his game when he faces the likes of Detroit come playoff time. mikey_mac (Boston) +1300 A good player with a great team in Boston (Evan and Darko had them last year; both in the conference finals and Evan winning . Mikey can score but in the past it looks like keeping them out of the net has been his downfall. I think with AI Ray Bourque and controlled sweeney he has a great chance to improve those numbers. lasyoen (Calgary) +1400 I've exi'd with the man and he is a good player who I believe has been snakebitten in the past. Calgary is a great team and if he can do a great job manual netminding he can move up the ladder. legendofnhl94 (Toronto) +1700 a newcomer (from what i can see, no past history in old stats) so who knows what can happen. With Killer you can never go wrong and a good D corp Toronto is a solid team but a bit limited in speed. Usually first timers have a learning curve to go through but you do have the Zepp's of the world who show up and are essentially an A player from the get go. Good luck to everyone. Shuffle up and deal...scratch that. Drop the puck. EDIT: After my tutorial from Smozoma ive updated the odds

for my ps3 i used motioninjoy just to install the driver, then close that and use better ds3 for the gameplay

with those odds i'll take JV. He's been playing great and i think he can unleash some firepower with those forwards. I've yet to see eggink play but Lupz is always dangerous and skip has been playing great and people have been dangerous with the 'Peg. I've been impressed with mcmarkis. have to remember he is an snes guy first. The sneaky good one here is Texas. I can't remember ever playing him in classic when he had a great team so now with Buffalo it will be interesting to see.

I think the style others use that Eggink pointed out is something to make note of. Like Lupz states, play as many exis as you can. The more you play, especially against better competition, the quicker your game will rise.

I love me some Joey Bats. I think this is great because the baseball police are tools. The flip is one of the fun parts of baseball. If you missed it you can see it here: http://deadspin.com/jose-bautistas-righteous-bat-flip-is-the-only-thing-tha-1736602858

great writeup Lupz. Always great to see someone doing this for the B leagues. Ill have to do this for B2 unless someone beats me to it.

Desyncs can come with no notice but the best way to know a desync is did you score a goal way too easily or the other player is skating oddly. Once a game is desync then it can never 'catch up' since that data was lost.

Hi Steve, read this: http://www.nhl94online.com/html/getting-started.php also, that is the location where the schedule is located once the season starts you can choose the fall classic 2015 from the league selection combo and go to standings, choose your team, then you can see your schedule.

I will let you know for sure when it gets closer but I think i can do something Sunday. Obviously Saturday will be rough with the kids. Thanks for throwing this out there.

Thanks Raph. This makes the Coach Mac as buffer story come alive. He looks perturbed.

for those of us who were not there can someone post and label that image for the NHL 94 - 2015 Yearbook?

i did have issues last night. just read this and now things seem right. http://community.logmein.com/t5/Hamachi/Windows-10-Hamachi-drivers-not-installing/td-p/130689/page/20 essentially uninstall and after uninstall clear all entries from registry referencing hamachi, restart, then install the latest version.
