Hank says he didn't kick that goal in, and he is adamant about it.

He was being pushed at the time of the goal as well... pushed into the path of the puck.

So actually we got fucked over again tonight.

The only option we have left is to give Ozzie the start next game. It might be worth a try for several reasons. Howie just hasn't been all that solid.
Yeah,agree.i would also give Ozzy the chance.nothing to lose here.

    The counter-argument to that is that by pulling Jimmy at this stage, he will lose confidence. Or whatever confidence he has left after these mediocre performances.

    Problem with playing Ozzie is that he has not played since the Flyers game about a month ago, so he won't be really sharp. Well, if one goalie can get sharp quick, it's Ozzie.

    Since our chances of progressing are less than 1%, it might be best to stick with Jimmy. I don't know.

    So in the Stanley Cup Finals in my NHL 10 game, I'm playing the Habs. Have the settings set at the highest possible level of play as well.

    The first game at the Joe ended up with Montreal tying the game with 20 seconds left after pulling the goalie to make 3-3, then they scored 5 minutes into OT, winning the game. Game two went the same way basically, but my Wings won in OT just a few seconds in. I had a wondergoal. Tough series, right?

    Well, I found out how to shut Montreal down. It seemed like when they got in deep, they'd always score. Calamari, Gomez and company always finished their chances. So I had to stop them at the blue line from coming into the zone, and it worked. 7-3 in game 3 with a few Howard flubs, and in game 4 Beck had a hattrick with Zetterberg in a 6-1 win. Burke had 3 assists and Enron was a madman back on the point, saving goal after goal and leading the rush into the zone. He is unstoppable, best D-man in history with Orr and Nicky.

    Going to win the Cup at the Joe tonight.

    I just wish this was real. :cry:

    Yeah, you cannot allow Montreal to skate the puck into your zone. If so, you're screwed. You must force them to dump it in.

    Somewhat similar to real life. Against the Caps it seemed like most of their goals were on the counter.

    Enron leads the league in playoff hits (109, 15 more than the next guy), is the leader in defenseman points (21), and the leader in defenseman goals (5). :lol:

    WOW, what a player.

    Oh and you also lead the team in penalty minutes, but mostly because you always step in to fight instead of all our other players. :lol:

    Roller hockey is sweet too. Much less expensive than ice hockey, unfortunately.

    2-0 at 7 minutes into game 5. Burke scores off the first faceoff 15 seconds in, assists by me and Enron. :lol:

    On pro or all-star?

    You've got a good goalie, so he should carry you through. I'd say after a few months you could try Superstar if you're playing All-Star right now.

    You just have to be really concentrated on the game and be quick with the puck. Fleury should keep you in most games, unlike Howard.

    We go up 2-0, Habs score 4 in a row, yet we score 2 goals in the last 2 minutes to tie. I danced around four players and did a wrap around to tie with 20 seconds left. I am so good. :lol:

    Lets do this.
