Edge of '94 Midwest

Do the poll results affect real life results?

I can only wonder if they got any GA in. @rcv anyone bust out some 2v2?

We here at Edge Of '94 Midwest would like to congratulate Michael Robert Stanton and Raamayan Ananda on their victories in Vancouver this weekend, as well as Ryan Christian Ventura for keeping the #NHL94 dream alive! Both Robert and Raamayan have earned themselves free entry into Modano Mo Problems NHL94 Tournament February 29th in Minneaoplis, should they decide to claim it! Congrats again to these buds!

At my own risk, I can use the old marketing material featuring Modano, which I've done and will continue to do. However, the venue is part of a national chain and won't use Modano's likeness on their own marketing efforts. We actually used a sprite of Modano's face on top of his body. Their lawyers shot it down. Again, the majority of the marketing coming from us has the traditional Modano likeness in place. Their people made this, and frankly, if you see NHL94 on the flyer, either you're all about it or not. I don't think the 8bit characters would turn me off, especially for a crowd who hasn't seen much in the way of NHL94 tournaments locally.

I'm sure if Capcom put their heads behind a hockey game, it would come out smelling like roses. We needed something that didn't have Modano's likeness on it for mass marketing purposes, and while you can certainly say these characters were inspired by Mega Man, the powers that be in the legal department didn't see any issue with this depiction.

Here's another flyer design that people can print and easily share with friends/family.

We have another video, and would appreciate any help sharing this out on social media! Someone you may know recorded the voiceover!

A serious weapon in the SNES version, and curiously absent in the lines of experienced players in the Genesis version, Hall of Famer Eric Lindros has incredible shot ratings.. This prize can be won by any paid player in the Modano Mo Problems tournament!

Part of the Stanley Cup winning New York Rangers in the 93-94 season, Hall of Famer Brian Leetch is widely considered to be one of the all time greats on defense. This Brian Leetch figure can be won at Modano Mo Problems!

We're gonna have to work on your diplomacy bud. Tots and Pears

The prizes keep rolling in! Pierre Turgeon is part of a very good forward line for the Islanders in NHL94, a team that suffers from poor defensive play and goaltending. Did you know Pierre has a brother in NHL94? Who is he, and what team does he play for? #edgeof94-midwest Want to win this?

After his breakout 92-93 season with the Leafs, Felix "The Cat" Potvin found himself in the starting role, which led to the trade of Grant Fuhr to the Sabres. You might know him better as the video poster boy for the NHL94 TV commercials. Want to win this figure? Compete in Modano Mo Problems February 29th for a chance to win!

Another day another prize!(Thanks Tim Ubick!) Doug Gilmour is a two time All-Star, won a Stanley Cup with Calgary in '89, and was the best defensive forward in the 92-93 season, winning him the Frank Selke Trophy. Coupled with the 4 weight rating in NHL94, he is a defensive force in the Genesis version of NHL94, and can drive one timers home with ease. Want to win this figure?

Another day, another prize! This Curtis Joseph figure is from his time with the Leafs, but we all know him as one of the Blues. With one of the coolest all time Mask decals, this figure shows "Cujo" stacking the pads and diving for what is undoubtedly an epic save! This prize can be won by anyone attending Modano Mo Problems!

This week marks the beginning of prize reveals for those that attend the tournament! The Shield is responsible for most of the prizes you will be seeing between now and the day of the tournament, and we can't thank him enough! First off is this Starting Lineup Dominik Hasek figure. While he rarely sees the ice in NHL94, we all know just how dominating "The Dominator" was during his time with Buffalo. This prize can be won by anyone attending Modano Mo Problems as a paid player!

Congrats to @jer_33 on your prize for early signup! You must claim your prize the day of the tournament! See you and everyone in Minneapolis in Feburary!

@smozoma results posted above for huge shifts in the SNES world rankings, as this was a highly prestigious tournament. if @mort1237 isn't ranked #1 overall after this, I will file a formal complaint to the board of inquiry.

Congrats to Mort on his victory Monday night, winning free entry into Modano Mo Problems! This was a very exciting time featuring some hardcore retro gamers, and some players from the next generation. We competed with 10 players, ultimately originally expecting about 16, but that didn't diminish the quality of games we witnessed! Below are the teams that were selected by each player throughout the tournament. Here are the results of the Swiss Style Group play: https://challonge.com/chicago2019snes Here are the results of the bracket. Each bracket game was single elimination until the semi-finals. The scores reported in semi and finals are game won results, not score of the games. : https://challonge.com/2019snesnhl94bracket Here are the stream links. There were two live feeds as the Internet went down briefly during the stream. This was streamed off of Mort's laptop in Chicago, sort of their default setup for Monday night get gatherings.

Looks like SK made it in before the January 1st cutoff! After family events today we will go live on Facebook to announce the winner, and discuss a few other happenings from this weekend, along with what's to come! Thanks for all the continued support!
