Quick recap Game 1:
Buffalo up 1-0 after 1st period. Buf goes up 2-0 in the 2nd and Toronto texts "Do you ever get tired of just mashing poke check all game?"
I reply that it's not random mashing but positional strategy.
Game resumes and Buf goes up 3-0. Tor takes the puck, shoots it over the glass and quits suddenly.
I receive a text from him:
"Enjoy. You can have the series."
I ask why the quit and receive a response of:
"Can be playing more enjoyable games or leagues where I don't need to mash one button."
I reply that it's stupid to quit because of that...it's an actual strategy I play that makes the poke check effective, not just random constant button mashing. If it was that easy everybody could be doing and winning with it.
No more communication between us.
I have informed Tag of the situation and he wanted me to post on here to see other people's thoughts on this.
I found it unbelievable that he gave up the series after just one game based on his frustrations with my D. Seriously though, I realize the poke check is very effective in the game, but its not random button pushing and actually requires discipline and skill to use properly. I have lost my share of games too and have beaten guys who use it online so I know it can be overcome. Not like I was using some glitch shot from nhl12 where I lit him up for 5 unstoppable goals or anything.
In any case, that's the scoop on the series so far...no response from Gary yet to Tag if he's sticking around or quitting all together.

thats frustrating.... i lost to him in game 7 and am kicking myself for not being around still. To have someone who is still around not want to play it...
