Good games. Yeah, I never saw you online before.

Ok, so I only have 3 against woohoo and 1 against the Westicle. I would have finished the ones against Woohoo tonight, but I finished all kinds of other league games. Sorry about that Woohoo, tomorrow. Now it is 1:30 here, so got to get to bed.

I should, hopefully, be done tomorrow.

Sorry about the delays MJM.

I dunno. My Internet sometimes, but rarely, stops working for like a minute. And it happened right in the shootout, you got the win though, I hope it was an OT loss for me though haha.

Yeah, I know I got the win, because that win increased my amount of wins by 33%

Kind of crazy how there are 3 of us near the bottom and there's like a 10 point gap difference from the rest.

Yeah, I think that is the thing that makes players lose interest. The competitiveness is important. Independent of my earlier spazz out last week, I really have no problem with losing over and over, as long as I feel like the game is fun. Having to play out games where you are down 6 in the first is where the game becomes a chore, and not fun.

I really think that the game should have an option for a mercy rule, like up 5 or 6 and it calls the game. That way, the games that aren't competitive at all get finished a lot quicker. I think that would be better all around, as being down 8 in the second leads to total disinterest in the person down, and it is also pretty pointless for the player ahead.

I think this simple rule would allow for so many more leagues to have actually been completed, and for a lot of frustration to be removed from playing in leagues (especially is there are clear tiers of playing levels).

It should be like Madden where the loosing party can conceed the game.

I agree, if the score is 5-0 and you can't even muster a decent shot let alone get into the oppositions zone *cough* Jayems... then there for sure should be a mercy rule. Instead of wasting a few hours of my life being bored from being owned, I would rather just lose and play someone on my level.

tripin_billie · 02-08-2010, 06:49 PM

I have another snow day tomorrow, so if Wooohooo and Westicle are around around 9-10 pm mountain time, I will try to get on a that time too, or shoot me a different time.

wooohooo · 02-08-2010, 10:32 PM

Hey I got a midterm tomorrow at 8 AM so that means I need to wake up at 6... But after that around 9-10 pm MST works?

So can we set a date for Tuesday at 9-10 PM MST?

Just you and me baby.

If we can start at 9, that should work. Any earlier would be great, but if you can't, no problem. I might also have tomorrow off of work, as we are expecting another foot of snow. Fun fun.

Edit: Ok, so now it is official, no work again tomorrow, so I can stay up later to catch the last games I need to play tonight.

Jayems · 02-09-2010, 04:35 PM

Thanks for trying to get the games done guys, it's appreciated.

tripin_billie · 02-09-2010, 09:19 PM

Oh man, Brodeur had no puck control in that last game Wooohooo. I couldn't believe the rebounds he was nearly directing into the net. Great games.

And Price sucks, but I wish you hadn't switched to Halak

wooohooo · 02-09-2010, 09:19 PM

WE ARE FINISHED!!!!!

LET THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN!

Great games tripin... close all around. Broduer was amazing the first game and stunk the joint the rest of the three. All the power to Halak! Price has definitely lost the 1st spot - he should be rated more like a 60

wooohooo · 02-09-2010, 09:21 PM

Usually Broduer is pretty good, at least better than Halak... some of the goals he let in were ridiculously poor. Even for Price's standards

I had fun haha first time I actually had a close game and not a 10-0 game
