Week five!

Boston Bruins @ Pittsburgh Penguins - Swampy vs. Poppins
Carolina Hurricanes @ Calgary Flames - Coldforged vs. Certis
Los Angeles Kings @ Detroit Red Wings - Legion vs. Demi
Tampa Bay Lightning @ Montreal Canadiens - Gwartok vs. Mr.Green

Coldforged, when would you like to play? Tonight would be good for me, just pick a time if it works!

Tonight will work dandy, the wife's spending the night at my folks' house. Say 10:00EST?

Swampy! The Swampinator! Swampareenoo! Makin' coffee! Anyway...

Let's see... Wednesday after 9 EST would be perfect. Would that be OK, or you want to go some other time?

Sounds good!

Does 10 EST tonight work for you Green?

Wednesday, November 9th, 7pm Pacific. (I'm being as specific as possible.)

If that doesn't work for you, propose a time. Also remember that I'm super-special pissed about my loss to CF, so Detroit will be ready to hit you full on with the furious anger that only aging hockey mullets can bring.

Wednesday, 10 PM EST? Look out, with Greenie in my wake, I'm on a roll!

Demi - Has to be the weekend, have too many things due this week for any game time at all. I'll give you an exact game time later.

Wednesday. 10 PM EST. Check. I WILL DESTROY YOU!!11

I lost, Certis won. Hell, I likely shouldn't even have scored. Well played, Canadian bastid :).

No.
What about tonight, same time?

...

On a semi related note. In the NHL last night Montreal won again and Boston lost yet another one. I just thought I'd mention that.

Nope. I'll be working 2nd shift the next 4 nights. I can do it Sunday night around the same time or if you're up late I can play midnight EST or so one of the next few nights.

Sunday 10pm EST that is.

It's a long season, chooch.

Pops played some of the best defense that I have faced all season, and had a 2 - 1 lead until he scored an empty netter with 36 seconds left in the game.

Outstanding effort, Pops!

Demi - Are you free anytime tonight or tomorrow night?

Didn't see your message last night. Wanna try tonight? How about 7pm PST?

Demi - OK.

Demi - OK.

Hate to do this, but I need more than 45 minutes notice, I've got plans now. You free tomorrow night, same time?

OK.

Good game tonight Green.

That's it? Green fianlly wins and that's it!?!?

gwartok, lay down the smack-talk, man! What, he whined and mewed until you let him win?

The planets aligned. Some of my shots actually went in! sh*tty goals for the most part but hey! not complaining... for a change.

Theodore's posts did a great job stopping Gwartok's attempts at making me snap the god damn game disk once and for all. Great game Gwartok! You're my type of opponent. The type that loses.

With all due respect to Legion, I think that was probably the most boring and least fun game of hockey I've ever played. No talking, no joking, no random comments about Mr. Green... nothing. I figured Legion was either concentrating really hard at playing to win, or he was conversing with others in the background and didn't want me to interrupt. And I don't think I've ever played against someone who spent more time keeping the puck away from the other team than trying to score a goal. Overall a different experience than I've been used to in these leagues... aside from the losing part.

Final score: 2 - 0 Kings.

Anyway, bring on Week 6. I wanna give the Certis his win as quickly as possible.

Eh? Some awful selective memory there - I had 33 shots on goal. Looking at your stats, the BEST you've done all season is 25 shots.

The entire game was spent in your defensive zone. You had 12 shots on goal, and that was thanks to a nice late rally (6 shots in the 3rd period). You had only 3 shots in each of the first two periods. You didn't forecheck or do much in the offensive zone at all.

I passed back to my defensemen, you chased them, I passed up to my forwards, got lots of attacks on net and outshot you almost 3 to 1.

Don't know where you come up with a "not trying to score" notion when the whole game was spent on your side of the ice.

As for not talking much, when we started the game, you complained about having a headache. That doesn't sound like much of an invitation to chatter your ear off. Though generally, I match what the other person does. I talk if I'm talked to, I don't if I don't. Once the puck dropped, you got silent, and I followed suit.

KNIFE FIGHT!

Demi, Legion's throat probably hurt because he spent the night before excoriating me for my poor play over Logan's headset while I played Logan in football.

I did do that.

I wanted Swampy to win SO SO SO badly. That game just broke my heart.

I'm starting to wonder if we need a restriction on posting until 24 hours after someone loses a game. Myself included

Thanks, Legion. That quote picked me right up.

Yet he (Demi) still beat me. The # of shots on goal is less important than getting GOOD shots on goal.

I just don't have the NFL2k5 eye of the tiger anymore. Maybe the next game we get will reinvigorate me.
