It's not often you can put a world champ on the bench as a healthy scratch. The level of play in Kannunkulma is so high that in yesterdays games Eki did not make it to the starting lineup.

Its crazy how big difference there was at the end. I bet everybody in here knew Eki would be favorite, but even at GWC broadcast they told Eki wasn't their favorite and they were totally blown away, it was like its unfair Eki vs. NA guys. Looks like toughest games were played in Sweden and not in Vegas.

Where is Frostbite though?

Don't understand all the hype for the Frostbite engine, it is great for large-map shooter games like battlefield but not so much for sports titles. The visuals are greatly improved, but in NHL they are almost irrelevant, especially using the overhead camera. You never know how it might change the gameplay that is not even amazing at this point (many people blame the engine for ruining the fun and arcadey style of FIFA games of the past). If midway through the dev cycle they find out they can't make Frostbite work, we might end up getting another NHL 15. But if it makes the game better, I'm all for it.

But I remember a twitter tweets about it. They apologized that they couldn't bring the new game engine to the NHL 18 because they had so little time. They add to it then that they are working on it so that they can bring frostbite to the NHL 19. I searched the net though but can't find that tweet..

Eki was the favorite but not sure what happend to NA guys or if Eki played on steroids. But i think Europe players would give Eki more problems in Vegas.

I knew Eki gonna win this but didnt expect him to dominate like this. Really nice job! oi ESPOO KÖKKELI!

Can you find a quote on this? I don't remember reading/hearing this.

@FoxGoalie is on 🔥 too, I think his house is burning right now.
