kingraph Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 We are back for the 4th annual NHL'94 Tournament to be held at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo on Saturday August 10th! Previous Champs 2016 - @angryjay93 beats @Evan in the finals! (also beat @MikeGartner22 in the semis!) 2017 - @corbettkb beats @smozoma (who took out @Lupz27 in semis) 2018 - @corbettkb goes back to back, taking out @MikeGartner22 (and @skoolyardpuck in semis) to win his 2nd in a row. Will Tex be able to complete the 3 peat? I am hoping a lot of the NYC tournament guys make it out the the LI Expo, it won't be an easy task! You can see the previous Challonge brackets and videos in the LI threads for reference, this tournament is always a good time. And it's FREE as part of your paid admission to the LI Retro Expo. The Expo is a great place to explore and play in other tournaments too, I highly recommend attending. I will post more in the very near future as we about 2 months away! 2 Quote
corbettkb Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) It will be a wide open field for the title this year as I will not be able to join Jordan & Shaq in the history books with a coveted three-peat. (*Instead ill be outside Seattle in Poulsbo WA attending my wife's cousins wedding) Edited June 6, 2019 by corbettkb 1 Quote

I guess on the very, very, short list of items that can be considered more important than live '94 tournaments, a family wedding makes the cut. We'll miss you this year! Quote
onetimer94 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Posted June 9, 2019 I live out on Long Island and will be attending the expo this year. Is there any way I can preregister a spot for the nhl 94 tournament? I would really like to participate in it. Thanks Quote

onetimer94 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 That's good to hear that there won't be a cap. Just curious has any thought been given to a SNES tournament as well? Is it possible and or enough people interested / attending? Quote

Personally I don't want to run an SNES tournament, but I'm sure there would be interest. I think on the east we would only have 3-4 consoles immediately available as well, so it'd be an investment.

onetimer94 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 I gotcha Just was throwing it out there Regardless I'm looking forward to the show and the tournament Quote

kingraph Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Posted August 11, 2019 Finals between @MikeGartner22 and Schmidt. Unedited footage! Commentary by me and @chaos https://youtu.be/2HZR3OwZwRk Challonge Bracket https://challonge.com/o0vhn2gr Will get the Round Robin results shared later. 2 Quote
smozoma Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 Wesley for Sweeney sub.. interesting.. I was watching the vancouver replay and was thinking I should actually have taken Bourque out for Wesley since Bourque wasn't shooting well. Good call saying to expect manual goalie.. they're really good. Do MikeGartner or Schmidt do something special to get so many goalie interference calls? Wondering if it's possible to use GC to generate powerplays Great close games Thoughts on going best of 5 for the finals if the players are up for it before it starts? 1 Quote

You can get a lot of interference calls with manual GC, using the goalie as a third defensemen near the crease. I don't think best-of-5 would be good. At this point both guys had already played a ton of games, it would be mentally draining. Keep it at a good length with best of 3, so if momentum screws you in one game at least you have another to bounce back. Quote
JSchmidt Posted August 12, 2019 Report Posted August 12, 2019 Me and Gartner have played so many times against each other....we are currently in a best of 215...... The best of 3 works pretty well I think....its a lot of games......Kudos to Chaos Raph Gartner Brian and whoever else did a great job with this tournament. They always run great tourneys..... 1 1 Quote
Bob Kudelski Posted August 13, 2019 Report Posted August 13, 2019 This tournament looked amazing with the set-ups in front of the astronaut display, and the golden cartridge for the winner. I posted those pics on my instagram because they're so cool. Now everyone thinks I won, and I probably won't correct them. 2 Quote

Also, names to clear up for the rankings: Is Matt H = Matthurray, or the same Matt H from the Long Island tourney? There was a John Schmidt at the NYC tourney, is that the same as Schmidt from this tourney? Brian R = brian rausse / choas rison / bad moon rison? Tom C, is that Tommy C from Long Island 2018? Geroge F, is that George from NYC? I will assume Luigi = Luigi Hat Trick from LI2018! Quote
