yeah, as i always say, when playing each other, we all know each others tendencies, so it can be a much different game than when we play random teams.

we spent most of the 2nd period on the PK thanks to some 4 minute calls and the computer being dumb. not to mention that 1 of the goals was a result of the goalie passing to me and then scoring on himself. for the record, i did not call for the pass. thats why i stood there looking like an idiot as he passed it off my skate and into the net.

as far as going to casual, the only way we can get better is by playing these top teams. sure we lost 6-1, but that is probably the best team for ps3. i have no shame in losing that game. i learned a lot from watching them play. their right wing, who i was trying to go against, was freaking amazing. he ended up with 6 points and was definitely their best player. trying to keep with him was definitely tough. i feel like i am a better player because of the game.

i think its silly to want to go/stay on the casual team when the only way to get better is to get experience playing as a team. this whole pro/casual thing i think is about putting the best team out there for the pro league. and when some of our best players want to stay casual to get better, it totally defeats the purpose.

my 2 cents...
