GWJHL Season 3: Week 8

Swampy gets the flip on his game, so here's week 8.

Boston @ Anaheim
Carolina @ Washington
Tampa Bay @ Montreal
Philadelphia @ Ottawa
St. Louis @ Pittsburgh

With the new, abbreviated schedule you have 4 days to complete this week. Thursday is flip day!

Swampy, when you visiting?

I'm too lazy to look up who Tampa Bay is, so...

Tampa? When would you like to play? I'm available Monday and Tuesday after 9 EST, and Wednesday after 6 EST.

Demi, it's you and me I think. I'm available today if you can catch me on xfire.

Carolina @ Washington

Mr.Chipz, it is time. I can play during the day today or perhaps Monday evening.

I'm around all day too. Haven't seen you on Xfire. Wanna try for, oh, 4pm PST?

Of course, if you get this before, I'm down for playing right now too.

I can play right now. But after that ... it'd be a bit of a wait.

I have traveled in time, and it is no longer Sunday afternoon. Welcome to the future! It is sunday evening. Tomorrow night sounds good. 10:30 EST?

Should be fine, see you then!

3 - 2. The W goes in the goddamned zebra's corner. I would have won if he hadn't blantently cheated the entire game by being better than me.

Actually, I thought it was a great game. Lots of hits, great saves, and a couple of really beautiful shots. I had a small rally in the 3rd period, but really I just got outplayed. Which would suck, if I didn't have so much fun in the process. Thanks for the game, man.

I am the Tampa!

How about Monday night, 10:30pm EDT, poopin?

Sounds good... Mr... pooper... man... green... guy! By the way, you should hear the things the Habs are saying in the locker room about how life with you as the coach was. I think they're motivated!

They probably miss the manditory group showers. Greenie's all about the group showers.

None here.

CF, Monday (tonight) 8 PM EST or Wednesday, pretty much any time. Let me know.

I'll have to go with Wednesday as 8:00EST is too early (by the time I get my daughter into bed it's generally at least 9 or 9:15). Wednesday, 9:30EST?

Deal. Dealio.

Deal I O

Dealie-yo?

Bagga and I got our game in, it kicked us at the beginning of the 2nd period so we picked up the final two in an off-league game. The final score was 5 - 4 for me but it was hard fought! Looks like ESPN gave me the win anyways so we're all set.

Fun playing with you as always Mr.Chipz.

Mr. Green and I had trouble, also. I view that as fortunate, as he was beating me 4-1 after one period with 11 shots. In addition to a goal from 30 feet away on the goal line, he also had the weirdest goal I ever saw. It looked like it hit off of a defenseman, off of the goalie's shoulder, off of the glass behind the goalie, onto the top of the goal, onto the back of the goalie, and in the net. Argh!

Anyway, when do you want to try again, Greenie?

Yeah, it was fun and hard-fought and stuff, but I didn't win! Uncool, man.

My $9.79 Wal-Mart special headset drilled a static-filled hole through Certis' skull though, so that's ok. Good game, homey. If only I could have had you bragging more about your new l33t system, I might have been able to sneak in another goal or two. Certis' next opponent: Ask him about his new rig, trust me.

Hey locky, when do you wanna go? I might be free tonight late, maybe 11 or midnightish. Maybe tomorrow night before or after zombie skate.

Mix, I'm currently without Internet access at home. It is supposedly getting installed tomorrow so I could probably play after zombie skate finishes up, let's say 11:00 PM EST? I have a football game with Lothar at 10PM EST. If I'm not online by 11:15 PM or so, its a good possibility that my cable ISP screwed something up.

How about tonight, around 10?

What's the procedure?

10 sounds fine.

As for procedure *flips through copy of Robert's Rules of Order*, here's what I'd motion:

We play. If we finish the game, we take the score. If we get kicked, we play until we come up with 60 minutes of play, including the 20 minutes we played last night. Do I hear a second?

You don't mind if I lose that 3 goals lead?

How about we only play the third period if that puts me at an advantage?

Yeah, I guess we'll do what you said. I'll just keep the network cable within reach in case I'm losing by 2 goals or less late in the third.

Real men play for the love of the game, Green.

The rest of us play to win, you sissy.

Well, Green and I played one more period, and the score is now 6-3 after two, and the computer awarded the win to Greenie. I've learned two things:

1.SERVE THE COMPUTER! THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND!

2.Whatever psychological trauma Greenie did to Theodore (I think it involved those leeches from Star Trek III) has made him unable to stop a shot from any Green-commanded team.

Bottom line, I figure that's good enough. I don't feel any great need to go through another slide-show styled period...

Coldie, we still on for 9:30 EST tonight?

Oh really?

Well I've gotta say, this computer has good judgement!

Theodore? I coached him remember? I know his weaknesses. I won't reveal them all but goaltending is the biggest one.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this is one weird dice-rolling hockey game. Sometimes you can't buy a goal and others everything you try works. Hopefully 2K6 feels a little less random. Case in point, I've won against Certis 6 to nothing (mentioning that never gets old) and lost to baggachipz a lot to 3. You know there's something wrong with that game. I mean, I can accept winning over Cervix but losing to baggachipz? Puh-leeze!
