NHL 13 (XBOX 360) GWJHL Season - Week 6

I've finished up my CPU games and all I have left are the HUM games:

Leafs (AbsolutTexan) LEAFS WIN IN OT 3-2
Sharks (PsycoKillerZ) Game on hold until Saturday/Sunday

Guys, I'm good to go tonight after 8pm est, or my standard M, W-F 5pm - 10pm est. Just let me know what works for you. I sent out Live messages, too just to make sure all my bases are covered

EDIT: maaaaan I sure do love my OT games At least I'm getting one point for the losses

Sounds good. Only two human games to go this round.

One game to go this round against Boston/Boudreaux.

Two games in a row now with some pretty good lag in one period. Stupid EA

Of my six games, I squeaked out one win over Psychokillerz's Sharks in OT, 2-1. Other than one blowout to the Kings, most of my games have been really close. Just having a hard time getting goals.

No problems scoring here.

5-0 vs islanders
4-1 vs flyers
3-0 vs Flyers
3-2 vs Blackhawks

Oh, I'm aware it's my skills and not the game.

Got trounced by the Leafs, then turned around and beat the Kings 2-0 on the road. Sure, I was outshot 31-12, but I'll take the win.

All three online games I've played in the last few hours have had really bad lag. Might have to wait for this to clear up before playing any more GM games.

Loose tooth I am able to play tomorrow around 10pm eastern if that works for you.

Willie, whats wrong with your mic?

don't know what was it not doing

It wasn't letting us hear you. I think I heard you say 2 words the entire time.

Montreal will get its sh*t together soon. Their famous GM has been busy as f*ck.

Yeah, same here--I'm lucky if I snag two goals in a game. I just can't seem to get the puck on the net at all. And if I do end up getting a shot off, it hits someone. I just haven't been able to find that sweet spot yet, but it definitely makes the games a heck of lot more tense instead of being blowouts either way.

CptDomano, you scored two against me! Three, if you count the game we had to restart.

I need to score moar!

Actually, I just need to score more than the other guy, which seems to be a little bit of a problem so far. So, maybe not scoring, but learning how to play better defense?

Defensemen blocks shooting lanes. Wingers chase the puck carrier. Center pokes.

That's pretty much my strategy right there. Don't use it against me

Am I right in saying that games against, say, Buffalo will be simulated when the week moves on? I tried playing Buffalo for our game last night -- knowing TheCounselor is currently naked somewhere -- and there was no option to play the game.

I think what needs to happen is the team owner needs to set up the games on thier end to be played as CPU instead of HUM. Although I haven't tested it to make sure that's what works, but I'm pretty sure that's how it should go down.

I should be on playing something this week. My human opponents just need to invite me

I'm confused so how does the Connected GM thing work with adding teams/players in mid season. Do I just pick a team that isn't allready controlled and pick up thier schedule from where it is?

Yes Rooney. Its very open. Its a lot like playing offline only we get two weeks of the schedule at a time

Yes, that is exactly how it should work. When you join, I will receive a join request notification and approve you.

Wow what a game between Tampa and the Oilers. Tampa did not get a shot on net until about 5 minuets left in the 2nd period. Lindbach saved Tampa at least 3 to 6 times even making a diving desperation save to keep it 0-0 in the second. Most of the same in the third with both goalies making save after save. Credit to the Oilers defense causing a lot of turnovers. Then with 8.1 seconds left in the third and OT to be a sure thing. Poliout on a line change killing time throws a shot at net and it just beats the goalie. Tampa comes out of Edmonton with 1-0 win. Also all of my games are now done for this week. Going 2-4 this week overall.

Well, just held Will and the Lightning to 7 shots, and with 8.1 seconds left, Dubnyk lets one in from 3 strides inside the blueline. Playing this game for so many years, and I can't seem to score. Back to Guild Wars 2 for the night. Le sigh....
