Regular season and first games in Elite was played yesterday. Opponent was one of the hardest ones, but we did play really solid and showed that we will not be easy points to no one. Offense did their job and scored more than opponents. Defense was great as a team and Supreex was the last lock on the net.

It's a rare sight to see such a motivated, hard-working blue-collar-bird for just 9 euros a day. I mean, the bird can hardly keep off the ice! One often hears about the home team having an extra player -- this bird finally showed me what it actually means.

Well slap me silly and call me a bitch! The long awaited season 5 of ECL has started, and EMK has cleared it's first two games with flying colours. Ordinarily this would not be a subject of astonishment, but since the de facto backbone and the beloved totem animal of the team Oi Spakalia decided to hand over his rightful place between post to Hubinalle, the new gimp of the team, there were some sincere doubts about the overall performance of the team. Luckily for Hubinalle, the adversary on the first round was Papat, the regular doormat of season 4. Not entirely sure of the abilities of their newest member (acquired with the aid of cheapest windshield washer fluid money could buy and promises of sexual abuse), the defense line of the team really stepped up their game and hubi only had to take two shaky catches, thus in his small and slightly insignificant way securing the glorious 6-0 victory for the Elämäm Kiekko. This raised high hopes for the second game, which came to fruition when Papat really lived up to their name and played like a bunch of incontinent grandpas. After the massive 10-0 win the frenzied shouts of joy of EMK fans all over Pori were reportedly heard as far away as Jämijärvi, and had it not been near midnight, most of the gas stations in a 10 mile radius would have ran out of paint thinner. After the game it also became clear that Munien haistelu had taken the position of overall point leader with his 3+9 stats, whereas the team's butt-pirate captain and sexual predator Nahka Toteemi dominated the defensive players' board with his 0+5 points. Modest as always, the guys did not let this sudden fame go in their heads, although a small celebration at the main square (now renamed as Elämäm Kiekko Square) was in order. The picture included is a snapshot of Nahka Toteemi indulging the requests of the ecstatic female fans and flashing his manly member (photo partly censored for decency's sake).

Now it is turn to introduce our fresh and new mascot. Why Rusty Blades? As a long-term unemployed hockey fan, I got a call from KELA and a nice old lady on the other end told me that there might be a job available in Loveland. I got really excited, mainly because i was about to lose my unemployment daily allowance because too many job offer rejects by me. So here i was, after 200 flew kilometers, one awkward job interview and shit load of sweat later, Tanski finally offered me a contract and lunch from ABC LOVELAND. Main goal as mascot? Obviously to cheer my buddys to victory, and of course try not to look like a fool out there. This isnt the job that I want to tell my friends or mother in law about. But this 9 euros per hour salary keeps me cheering there like a cocaine addict. There is no cheerleaders in EASHL-arenas. How do you feel about that? We live time of equality and its fine. And besides, i cant lose this job. Who the hell would look at me if theres a dozens of pretty ladies? I would be worthless. Also, cheerleaders would affect badly of teams performance, cause players wouldnt stop staring at them. Your twin cousin plays hockey in EASHL. How close you are with him? I know Andy Albatross well, he lives next to my hous... oh f*** it. I cant keep these secrets in my head anymore. I cant lie anymore. Lets just but it this way, After expensive divorce, few stupid consumer loans and too many hours spent playing kultajaska, im broke. I had to take 2 jobs. Ofc i asked raise from @vSilenttio but after my recent game performance, he said he should slap me in the face instead. So here I was, crawling back to Tanski asking any job he can offer. It has been very challenging to do 2 jobs at the same time. Like last time when SIKA was going to visit Rusty blades in Loveland. When we were packing the onnibus and everyone kept asking why i have two hockey bags. Well obviously my bird costume was in the other bag which i had to hide to penalty box. Oh boy i took alot of penalties during that game. It was the only way how i could play hockey and being mascot at the same time. Scary times.. You are a bird, Any comments on that? So i am a bird, big whoop, wanna fight about it? Your motto? life's too short to have boring hair Rusty Blades are not to be held at any responsibility over this weird bird or at anything he says. He is only a harmless and simple fan who lives at his own world. He is liked very much, but Rusty Blades officials deny any official contract between him and the team.

Still available. FW, any division, any role. Sign me up on a PTO.

I do not believe that it is the same guy. Some similarities yes, but all in all that Moscow guy is not even in Albas league. He is that special little fella.

The story of your mascot reminds me of something I saw recently. Is it the same guy?! Once upon a time in Moscow..

Kalchu, discreet as usually. Goal compilation from our first matches.

ECL 5 Pro Game 1: FCM vs. murohoki 2-1, OT (1-0, 0-1, 0-0, 1-0) Game 2: FCM @. murohoki 1-0 (0-0, 0-0, 1-0) Two tight, defensive games where both team strived to keep the opponents from scoring rather than attacking with creativity. In the end, we left the dressing room having collected 4 out of a possible 4 points, but we will have to be better in the future. Props to murohoki for good games. Game Hatchet for G1: @LastMandalorian with the GWG in OT. Game Hatchet for G2: @Onecorner95 with the shutout to win the game for us.

Hey @LopatkoJ, At the moment I don't know of such a website. We hope to offer such content in the future, but we're not quite there yet.

Name: Lamsa - Dirty Kantor #88 Stick: Left Age: 29 Position: RW (Lamsa: sometimes I would like to try RD, but Supreex wont let me) Lamsa draw his first skate lines on EASHL ice at NHL09. But that was not the real start of his 6vs6 career. When Rusty Blades was formed Dirty Kantor abounded AI-hockey. For all these years Dirty Kantor played as a LW, but team captain made him change to RW. As a RW Kantor has made some real impact. Natural goal scorer and agitated opponents. Lamsa has played 82 regular season games and has scored outstanding 130 goals. How did you find EASHL? Lamsa: Tanski asked me to start EASHL when it was releaed 09. I even changed my Xbox to PS3 just for this. After that I had a years long break until I started again at NHL16 surprise surprise asked by Tanski Why Rusty Blades? Lamsa: Tanski(surprise) asked me to play for his new team. I have not even thought about playing for any other team. We are playing fairly well and it is nice to play here. From this thanks are going to all my team mates. Your main goals for NHL18? Lamsa: To improve my own game and skills. And have a three long "springs" with Rusty. Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? Lamsa: Ice hockey is a sport I have always followed. And NHL is a game series I have played since a little Kantor. Fifa would be nice to try too, but the diving button is missing from it. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? Lamsa: No one. Tanski87: Lamsa has told several times that Pat Kane #88 is mentored by him. Facebook.com/rustybladeseashl twitch.tv/rustybladeseashl

Name: kikiukko - Adde Pendikäinen #82 Stick: Left Age: 26 Position: RD/LD Kikiukko the oldest of Kinnu Bros. Kikiukko is good all-around d-man. He has no sparkly moves or rocking hits, but in the other hand he has no weaknesses on the ice. Propably everyone who has played with him and has been on the voice chat does know that this guy is fun to play with. Kikiukko has represented multiple teams in ECL: Vastaanottokeskus, Los Dominos, Murohoki and Old Farts. Now he is part of Rusty Blades like his younger brother kinnune. How did you find EASHL? kikiukko: My younger brothers Kinnune and Kinuz played EASHL and it got mee too year and a half ago. Why Rusty Blades? kikukko: Good team spirit and chance to succeed. Your main goals for NHL18? kikiukko: Get lots of games and help the team. Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? kikiukko: I'm better in NHL than CS. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? kikiukko: Atte Pentikäinen wich is my player name also. He is trying 100% every time, but usually plays bad like me. How do you like playing with your brother in the same team? kikiukko: It's fun. Although he does not usually speak a lot.

Name: Tanski87 - Eino Pahkasanta #13 Stick: Left Age: 29 Position: RD/C Tanski started his EASHL career at 09 when the game mode was introduced in EA's NHL series. Raging Hockey Bears was the first team with most active being Tanskanen(Tanski87), Lamsa, xTommiRx, JanRei and Temmi79. But soon team merged to play with Ganiye, DaSats, Hemppamies and Ale_012 and that team was named Finnish Ice Breakers. FiB never played too seriously, but was a regular name among top-10 of EASHL teams. After few years team was not active anymore and they merged in to We Kings to play with Hbnzo, Vbnzo, Jopeelo, EpiWins, Johtaja and Janikka. Tanskanen(Tanski87) was pretty much the only one that remained active from old Finnish ice Breakers and there was couple years of good and fun hockey with We Kings. After PS4 came the team We Kings was no more. Tanski decided to keep out of EASHL and NHL until ECL1 when he decided to play with his old D-pair from Woodhands HC's first steps as a 6vs6 team. Rankaisija "The Bunisher" signed Tanski when he called out to be a free agent. ECL1 did not go well for The Old Farts. Season ended in regular season. There was a felling around that Old Farts would not continue. And that did happen as yrjoo formed Fat Cats and Tanski formed Rusty Blades. Wuorio was one of the players that joined to Rusty Blades from Old Farts. Some other forming members we're Bobby4Orr_Fin and Lamsa aka Dirty Kantor. Team was full of players that had no experience of 6vs6 or EASHL at all. Team has gone some major changes under Tanski's control. Roster is small, active, competitive but most important is that atmosphere is great. Tanski87 and his team mates are thrilled and waiting for NHL18 and ECL5. How did you find EASHL? Tanski87: Heard about the upcoming mode before NHL09 was released. I was really thrilled about the idea of every player controlled by a real person. I can still feel the same anxious wait before realease of the new version. Why Rusty Blades? Tanski87: It felt like a right time to form a new team. A fresh start. Your main goals for NHL18? Tanski87: To play some great hockey as a team. To be as good as we can be. And I promise that it will be better than has been seen by far. Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? Tanski87: For me this is the only choice. I love hockey. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? Tanski87: I dont know about that. As a defender I would have to say prime-time Chris Pronger. Hard hitting play with abilityt to be offensive threat also.

Name: Kinnune - Eric Daze #55 Stick: Right Age: 23 Position: LD Kinnune middle one of the Kinnu Bros, youngest one of the ones in Rusty Blades. Came to Rusty Blades at the same time with koojiikoojii from Murohoki. Kinu played a good debute ECL-season in Rusty Blades, playing 24 regular season games and having +32. Like everyone does have good and bad days, so does this youngish defender. But when things goes real you can always count on him to play on his highest level. Kinu "Kaukovainios Major" Kinnune is ready for NHL18. How did you find EASHL? Kinnune: We had Muro GMconnected league and we started höntsä'ing EASHL with koojiikoojii during those league games. Why Rusty Blades? Kinnune: Becouse I have same contract with koojiikoojii. A roll of pink tape. Your main goals for NHL18? Kinnune: My goal? There is only one goal aka Elite. Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? Kinnune: The one and only videogame I have never been bored with. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? Kinnune: Brent Seabrook, best all-around defender.

Hey guys, just wanted to check in over here to see how things were going on the Euro side of competitive EASHL. I have to say there are a lot of things you guys do differently over here that I think we should pick up on for our competitive club league. We already picked up on the European style points system with W/OTW/OTL/L rather than the usual NHL style. I think it works out a lot better especially in a game like NHL 17 where there isn't a huge skill gap. I get a lot of people on my youtube channel (Between the Pipes) asking about 6v6 leagues for European players and I make sure I point them in the direction of this site (i've only every heard of the ECL). I will be sure to stick around and try and keep up with what's going on over here! Hopefully one day there will be a way to play each other without too much of a delay or even on LAN (lul). Playing Nordic Nightmare on 150 ping isn't very fun Also really glad to see your main player base is on the PS4, it's way better. Just checking in.

Im looking team that takes part to ECL 5. I'm finnish, RD and RW are my best. I have only one season experience from ECL
