  1. Hopefully he keeps it up during the regular season and we can move him for a good prospect or a first round pick from some bubble team that ends up bombing during the final stretch making the pick better than expected.

    Or hopefully he's a good hockey player for us and we keep him and he helps us win some games this year
  2. Just got home from the game. I'd like to fill you in with the details, but spent more time getting caught up with old friends versus watching the game closely. Except for the first 10 minutes where the Sabres had some good pressure, and when the 2 goals were scored, the game was pretty boring.

     

    That's all I've got!

     

     

    ...Actually I forgot one thing. The construction workers were still out there at 10PM working on HarborCenter.

    Any estimate on how many people were there?
  3. Many people are going to be surprised when this team makes the playoffs. Good goal-tending, a veteran defense corp and a mix of high-end rookie talent and veterans gives hope going into the 2014 season. It all depends on veterans staying healthy and a certain 2nd overall pick playing like the most talented player on the draft.

     

    They may not be the most talented team in the Conference, if you take a close look at the roster, they have enough talent in the right positions to have an effective power play and an effective penalty kill. Specialty teams in hockey are equivalent to a running game in football. Run and stop the run effectively and you will always be in the game. Same with specialty units in hockey. Take advantage of your opportunities and keep opponents teams power play off the board and you will be in a lot of games.

     

    It's not as crazy as it may sound considering the year they just came off of.

    Love this. Count me in. :beer:
  4. Right!?

     

     

     

    The dev team announced that there will be patches post-launch to fix a lot of the issues. The draft in GM mode will be added in September. Three stars, HUT fixes and more. I don't have a link here at work but it had me feeling encouraged and ready to buy again.

    Were those issues, specifically drafting in Be a GM, or simulating until your next shift in Be a Pro, unique to the PS4 and Xbox One versions? Or do they exist in the PS3/Xbox360 NHL 15s as well? And if so, should I hold off on buying them until they are fixed, or can you buy them and have them fixed on the PS3? (I don't know how that stuff works :P )
  5. I'm not purchasing a PS4 yet, and if I had NHL 14 I would just keep that and not bother paying for 15 because it appears to be the same thing as 14 on PS3/360 except with correct rosters, Samson, and different announcers. I do not have it though, because I generally purchase the odd-numbers, so I will be grabbing NHL 15 because I'm tired of seeing the Dallas Stars in their old jerseys minus Tyler Seguin, Luke Adam tearing it up with Ville Leino and Nathan Gerbe for Buffalo, and things of that nature.

  6. If he isn't physically ready from the time he's already spent in the WHL then he should probably get some time with an NHL training program.

    I would think that since we last saw him play, there already might be a bit of a difference right? He won't be fully mature obviously but by the time the season starts he'll have had three months, which can produce some real results.
  7. Crosby is the only player you can use this term on currently. Maybe toews if he leads teams to another 2 cups can be meantioned.

    Does a generational player need to have 'generational talent'? Because if so I couldn't see Toews, who is very talented nonetheless, ever qualify for that no matter how many cup wins he has. Crosby does have a talent level notably higher than everyone else in the 'elite' category so I do agree that he is the one and only qualified player right now.
