Not really a big deal for me. Everyone likes to shoot up, I'm just used to it alternating each time.

I beat OP first game 4-1.

I had my ass handed to me. I played a better 2nd half of the game but I was already out of it by then. Gave up a goal on the first shift because I tried a cross ice pass in the defensive zone using Shane effing Hnidy. It was 1-0 a minute into the game and 4-0 before I knew what hit me.

The only highlight of the game for me was a shorthanded goal by Getzlaf.

I got a great break with that first goal, poke checked and then barely slipped it past your goalie. The first period was all me. 2nd period/3rd I was holding on tight though - I was smelling a comeback but I managed to get some security goals and didn't have to worry as much.
Great game though, you did some great moves when moving into my zone, you would kind of turn to avoid my poke checks, if you know what I mean.

you really made me alter my entrance into the zone. Usually, when playing online, I skate in alone at will but I had a hard time doing that in this game. I wish the dump and chase were a more viable option in a video game because when you can't skate it in that's really your only option. Looking forward to the next game man.

The tournament's already started, but if someone drops out or a spot opens up somehow, I can let you know.

KingsNate and spjon25 need to get their first game in. Come on boys!
