    How can I sign up for a season? Do I have to wait for the current season to end?

    First of all: WELCOME! :D

    To sign up you need a team. Next season will start in Autumn (NHL 18) so you have plenty of time to do that. Teams that need players prefer to write here what they need, you could trying to contact them. Or you could write your own larger post, where you can introduce yourself (and tell what you offer) here

  2. NHL 17 kaikille avoin turnaus (K18) link

    Kyseessä siis 2v2 turnaus, jossa osallistujat maksavat palkintorahat. Eilen illalla olin yhteydessä järjestävään henkilöön (järjestelee tätä ihan vain kaljapalkalla... O.o) ja heidän tavoitteena olisi ensi syksystä lähtien toteuttaa ihan säännöllisesti turnauksia eri pelaajamäärillä (1v1...) ja jos oikein lähtee lentoon niin ihan divisioona pohjaisesti samaan tapaan kuin täälläkin. Jos ei NHL vedä niin väkeä niin sitten FIFAn puolella sama. Ei kai kukaan sitä halua? :/

    FreeTimella (järjestävä baari) on jo useamman vuoden (>5) pyörittänyt samankaltaista "liigaa" niin biljardin kuin dartsin puolella. Kaikki osallistumisrahat menevät lyhentämättömänä palkintopottiin ja FT saa vaan rahaa myymistään tuotteista (luetaan alkoholi :D)

    Mitä muutakaan teikäläisillä olisi tekemistä lauantaina? I will be there, will you?

  3. A guy was nailing his interview when the employer said, "Well you look great but I see here there was a 7 year gap since your last job, what happened there?" The guy says, "Oh I went to Yale". The employer: "Oh great!! Well you're hired, you start Monday." Guy: "Yay! I got a yob!"

  4. Only 2-3 games remaining before end of season so what playoff-pairs gonna be?

    WEST
    CHI-NSH result: 4-3
    ANA-CAL result: 4-1
    MIN-STL result: 3-4
    EDM-SJ result: 4-2

    CAL and NSH can change places.

    EAST
    WAS-TOR result: 4-1
    MTL-NYR result: 4-3
    PIT-CBJ result: 4-2
    OTT-BOS result: 4-3

    TOR, OTT and BOS could change places.

    So what are your predictions, gonna see some suprises?

  5. So after another intense (and fast) season: Baltic Sea Eagles missed playoffs.

    What is the reason why Baltic Sea Eagles didn’t make to playoffs? That one moment where the chances is lost? Minutes where important part of game is played and we didn’t play them?

    Do you want know? (Sure, why not?)

    That one point was our away game against Sjukstugan. To be more precise the last 12 minutes. You can also watch match report here, but I will tell the main parts:

    We lead 3-1 in third period (time 48:00) as we take interference penalty and 30 seconds later a delay of game –penalty, so their power play 3-5. And you know what? They score twice in 26 seconds! And game is tie.

    We have been a lead last 40 minutes and now we face a new challenge: Must break their momentum and start the game over. We manage to do that and game was fighting (in our end) to the last moments.

    But then @Filariou (1. star of game) passed through 2-3 our defense players to @Rimpe (2. star). Which you can guess make Sjukstugan lead first time in match at time 59.17. I personally was playing good game between the posts before 3-4 goal: 13 saves out of 16. We have nothing much to do in the last seconds.

    baby-about-to-cry-lead-game-80-of-time-lose-it-in-last-minute.jpg.e5a30929c74ee43d5e39bbdd335a86e5.jpg

    Even today I’m having small nightmares about that goal, I could have saved it. Even as game was played in February.

    So those 12 minutes was crucial to our journey, lost 2 points and missed playoff spot by one point. That tells something about how tight games was in this season (Sjukstugan finished 2. in our Pro group 1). And to playoff-teams: Don't underestimate your opponents, they can suprise you.

  6. After couple of days of play I write this to your enjoyment.

    Pro support: Yes, 4k at 30fps or 1080p with higher fps + HDR

    HZD.jpg.95dde60b82fcc324e2ff69fd52b92bf3.jpg

    The new game from Killzone developer Guerilla Games is quite a different affair from what they've made before (KZ). They have developed HZD over 6 years. You can count that how many hours it has taken with 270 employers.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a third person action adventure game, with RPG elements, set in a post-apocalyptic open world where nature has reclaimed the land from the modern world. Tall buildings are now ruins covered in plant life, occupied only be the wildlife now. There's a real sense of a new world, reborn after a catastrophic event.

    Turns out the world is gorgeous. All kinds of landscapes can be seen, be it mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands... Just know that you will be picking your jaw off the floor numerous times. Draw distance is huge too. It's a remarkable achievement.

    The world is now inhabited by the humans that remain. They live a much simpler, tribal life, living off the land, using primitive weapons such as bows, and building their settlements from wood and stone. There is some wildlife too, such as boars and foxes which supply you with resources when you kill them.

    And then there are the machines. Giant robotic animals, leftover from before things turned bad, they resemble dinosaurs, and are equipped with powerful weaponry that makes them a challenge to bring down. Each type will have you using different tactics to defeat them. Some live in herds, some are loners. All are very impressive to watch. Their behaviour really does feel like they're real living breathing animals. That is a lot from robotic creatures.

    You play Aloy, a young huntress who is an outcast from her tribe. She very soon ends up in a situation that means she has to set off on an adventure, one that will take her all over the world, meeting new tribes, and learning about herself along the way. Luckily Aloy is well equipped for this task, and even better, she will be able to upgrade her weapons and outfits as she goes, by crafting using resources found and looted from corpses, or by buying from traders. There are a wide variety of outfits and weapons to choose from too, and they each favour different things, such as stealth ability. She also has a decent sized skill tree which will help you unlock extra moves, etc.

    You'll find yourself gathering resources as you go about the world, which you will need. Different plants, to make different types of ammo, wood for arrows, medicinal plants to boost your health. You're limited as to how much you can carry, but you can upgrade as you go. The same goes for weapons and clothing. You will need to too, because the machines are tough and hit hard, making them very dangerous indeed.

    You will find that running in to a fight will quite often lead to your demise. Learn their weaknesses, movements, and show them respect and you will prevail. Mostly. A big part of gameplay is stealth, which will help you get close up for observing and maybe even silently taking down your foe. This game's combat is most definitely not bash a button to win. The larger machines will take a lot of work to kill.

    Using the old hiding in a bush, whistling to attract an enemy, and killing them when they get close does work wonders for the smaller creatures, or human enemies. It also shows up a small flaw in the AI. If you see a bunch of bodies next to a bush and the bush is whistling at you, what would you do? I know I wouldn't walk up to it. I'd fire off a fire arrow maybe.

    It also shows how good the AI can be. Machines will get skittish if you whistle too much, stay back, and sometimes bolt. Overall though, AI seems to be up to the job.

    The larger machine fights are real set pieces, and I found myself wishing I could share the fight with my friends. Some kind of co-op would have been an amazing addition to this game, but maybe that's something for Horizon's next outing.

    Throughout the journey that Aloy takes she finds herself travelling through some of the most stunning environments seen in any game. I find myself, many times, just stopping and taking in the beautiful surroundings. That feeling of being in a grass field with the wind blowing it about, the sun setting over the mountains, a river running past nearby, it's breath-taking. Guerilla Games has pulled off a visually technical masterpiece. I wonder if Guerilla Games and Naughty Dog compete with each other and which can bring better experience.

    No point in having great looks if it's moving at 2 or 5 fps right? Haven't noticed any slowdowns. None. It feels as smooth as warm butter to play, even when things get hectic. Some other games could learn a thing or few from Horizon.

    The scale of this game is huge, the story, the side quests, the people you meet along the way, combat, everything. It’s all truly is epic. It's not often you come across such a polished game. That doesn't mean it's perfect of course. There are a few minor niggles. Saving could be better. I have had to redo quite a bit because I didn't save at a campfire. Auto save as you travel would have been more preferable to me. These don't detract from the greatness that has been achieved here.

    Horizon Zero Dawn tells a great story, has a new star as it's protagonist, sets a new bar for visuals, and is quite probably the best open world game out there right now. If you have PS4, you need to show it some love by buying this game.

    That is all for now, hope you liked it.

    PS. Text has overall 999 words.

  7. I was impressed about Hanzal's play in these 2 games. He got 2 assist's. These ~15 years MIN is having really defensive team, witch management have acquired working and good basic players. Previous years MIN don't have that kind of team who could win Stanley Cup. Now they have.

    We must remember that in next(ish) draft isn't going to be very good (player wise). I think that MIN's future is safe with players like Eriksson Ek and Greenway...

    MIN strengthened it's C this season with E.Staal. That trade was good and Stall's career has been new rise since then. I don't mention even Koivu-Granlund-Zucker -line, which is maybe NHL's best at the moment. 

    Duchene: His name has surfaced in trade rumors over the past few months while the Avalanche have plummeted to the bottom of the League standings. Duchene would provide a huge boost for any team looking to upgrade at center but his $6 million average annual salary could make it difficult for those up against the cap.

    Under 9 hours before Trade Deadline...

  8. About Hanzal trade: Surprise. Is Minnesota already have enough big centemans? I'm meaning Coyle, Koivu and Staal. although Hanzal is "bigger" guy than any of those. I think Min is going to see if Hanzal will fit for team and if not he will be free agent in 1.7.

    Bishop: LA is fighting for wild card spot. Tonight is MIN and Tuesday CAL especially later game is important to playoff spot. Kings gm Dean Lombardi said: "...to make sure we have a No. 1 goalie in there every night." That is enough said to me. Quick's injury was not small and recovery is not done yet. (not sure that he will give his A-game every night) Also Bishop will be free agent in 1.7, maybe.? So Bishop is chance to get in playoffs for LA?

    Reutschner and lastmandalorian have. Advertising yourself is good but facts arealso nice

    Yeah facts are: In top 100 season B-goalies no one in Europe has higher save% in 6v6 games amount. That is still true and fact. Reutschner16nhl and LastMandalorian haven't played 6vs6 games more. In fact Reutschner has played under 10% of my 6v6 games.

  10. Experienced G searching 6 vs 6 team:

    What I bring/give/left behind to the team:

    Can bring in a good day win to lesser teams from some of the elite teams out there, so under pressure can play reliable.
    2 ECL-tournaments under belt.
    Experience hundreds of 6vs6 club games.

    About me:

    Enjoy the challenge to play in or against top 6vs6 teams.
    At the moment I have played 272 6vs6 season games as butterfly goalie and ~20 games other (5v5). And in these games my save% has been 78.1.
    To give some perspective no one of the elite team registration goalies don't have higher save%.

    Take contact here or in PSN, if i got you intrested.
    Previous teams: SKY :x, Drop Zone.

  11. NHL.com has released good article to inside look about Trade Deadline (1.3 at 9 p.m CET) in Metropolitan Division.

    1. Capitals: Need an experienced depth defenseman, preferably with a right-handed shot. LW Jakub Vrana playing now in AHL, no.13 in the 2014 Draft. His chance probably will come next season, so it would take something special for GM MacLellan to consider giving him up.

    2. Blue Jackets: Need depth at center + an experienced backup goaltender. GM Kekäläinen is building for long-term success, but would he be tempted to give up one of his many young assets for the right return?

    3. Penguins: Need an experienced defenseman. Marc-Andre Fleury, 32, has been a good soldier again this season, and GM Rutherford has said he wants to keep him and rookie Matt Murray to help in the Penguins' bid to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. But if a trade gave Fleury a chance to play regularly and the Penguins the ability to upgrade their roster, Fleury and Rutherford would have to seriously consider it.

    4. Rangers: Need an experienced defenseman. LW Ryan Gropp playing in WHL no.41 in 2015 Draft is having good season there: point per game. Rangers have some young depth at forward, but would they be willing to give up Gropp to acquire the help they need on defense?

    5. Flyers: Need depth in forward. Flyers are hard place: They are second wild card in Eastern Conference now but don't have much assets for trading. except 2017 NHL Draft selections: 10 (1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7).

    6. Islanders: Need depth in forward. Maybe trading C Ryan Strome to see what they can get for him and get some help for center John Tavares. Maybe Vanek or Vrbata.

    7. Devils: Needs a top-four defenseman + scoring forwards. They have 12 total picks in the first four rounds of the next two drafts and have plenty of salary-cap space to take on contracts. Those are their biggest assets.

    8. Hurricanes: They are 4 points behind wild card position. Need scoring forwards. D Faulk, 24, might be expendable in the right trade for a scoring forward because of Carolina's depth of young defensemen, including Slavin, 22, Pesce, 22, and Hanifin, 20. Might be looking for Avalanche forwards Landeskog, Duchene. O.o

    This was short summary. Full Story

  12. As title say: Share some of jokes and funny stories that you have heard or invented by yourself. (Make it in english so everyone can (try) understand those)

    I will start: Can you spare just 2.00$? Ranji is 9yr old boy living in Namibia. He has only 1 leg, 1 arm and 1 eye. Each day he has to ride 7 miles to school along a narrow, hilly road on a rusty bike with bent wheels, no brakes and only 1 pedal. If you send us just 2$, we will send you the video - it's fucking hilarious.

  13. The Story started a long time ago:

    It was a dark and stormy night when I was studying my own ancestors trough history of mankind. B| Then out of nowhere: a light bulb started shining in my mind. I figured out that me have American cousins.

    They have pretty good records in there: when they arrived, where people live there and even out figured the street address where they had lived.O.o It was in Michigan close to Minnesota's border. And because Michigan only have university team: Michigan State Spartans. I end up following Minnesota.

    This is a true story. :)

    ...I would like to find a team to play with. I've played all NHL games since '98, but I started to play EASHL mostly in NHL16.

    I'm doing my best as defender (prefer RD tho). I've always liked to play def...

    I'm looking for any active team, ECL would be very nice, but I don't care if the team doesnt play it.

    That is one good introduction! "I'm doing my best as defender": That is one of best sentences that i have found in this topic. Can I ask which game was that first on in -98? I started NHL playing also in -98, with NHL Powerplay 98. It's intro video is epic: https://youtu.be/hfDXSIkluNM?t=53s (they don't do videos like it anymore :|)

    Pengs/Tampa for cup.

    Tampa is 6th in atlantic division at the moment. Behind is only Detroit and Buffalo who both are played less games than Lightning. You think that it will rise 6 pts to Wild card position?

    Capitals is in winning streak now also 8 games... Tonight (or tomorrow early-morning) is Western Conference leading battle between CHI(home) and MIN, both have 59 pts, but Wild have played only 41 games versus Hawks 45 games. It will be good match, trust me.B|

  16. Season is now about half behind and was there be suprises or not?

    I can say one Columbus, leading team with 60p in 39 games, can remember that 16 game win streak recently. 

    Also Minnesota has good phase in their game now: record in last 10 games: 8-1-1. We will see if they manage to get to playoff without wild card. They have never had...
