thinly veiled goofy cheapshot

idk wtf the deal was tonight, but that was not fun at all... everyone getting chippy with eachother... some ********.

Goofy, I don't question when you play D and constantly take it in.. sometimes you turn it over in a really bad spot, but I know it doesn't happen all that often so I'm not gonna call you on it. Every once in a while I'm gonna pick a bad spot for a hit but that doesn't happen that often either so I don't wanna hear it.. because then I start playing timid and we get ****ed like we just did.

Hopefully I'll be on tomorrow night but if it's gonna be like that then I don't wanna play.

lol

Look, I'm not gonna lie. A bunch of us who play on the AHL squad are going to be frustrated/annoyed having a 4-0 lead blown because both D-man are essentially just screwing around. I play the game for fun, but it's not fun to be up 4-0 on scrubs and lose 5-4 in a completely avoidable fashion. Competition = fun for me.

If that's going to be an issue, maybe we do need a 3rd 2p2 team.

I was going to buy this game but if you guys aren't being nice to each other I can't justify the purchase. It is just a video game guys, lets just have fun and not worry about the wins or losses.

Agree...

Yeah I'm not gonna go this far. Come on.

People are gonna make mistakes, yeah it's frustrating sometimes, but we can learn from them.

Didn't you already buy this game?

good to kno you have your **** together...it's a work in progress for myself

It's not like this is the first time this has come up though. I feel like mistakes are learned from but quickly ignored. I simply have more fun when we're playing as a team and doing well.

If you're ADMITTEDLY screwing around, you can't complain when you're called out on it.

wat

I'm not gonna turn this into a drama bomb but at no point during that game was I screwing around at all. Am I gonna go for a hit or two when we're up 4-0 that I might otherwise play it safe on? Yeah I am. And definitely once it's 4-1 or 4-2 I'm not doing even that anymore. The hit in question was a situation when there was a fast turnover in the neutral zone and I had to make a quick decision.. I didn't see that I was the last back. My bad. But don't tell me I'm "admittedly screwing around" just because it's 4-0 and I go for a hit in a situation that I have to think fast.

Gotta love being a d-man... always take the blame, just part of the job I guess. And to be fair, that one's on us, fine.. but all those games where we lose 0-1 in OT or 0-2, etc... I'm not gonna call you guys out for not scoring, but just keep that in mind before you call out the D for an admittedly bad game.

There are gonna be games where you guys have a tough time putting it away and there will be games that we don't play great defensively, but when we all start acting like 2 year olds and blaming each other it's not fun at all. Also, maybe it's a good idea to not play when we're either super tired/drunk/high etc...

I've been having a lot of fun over the past few weeks, lets not ruin it.. I'll be on this afternoon probably.. if not then tomorrow night around the same time.

probably a good thing your 360 was hijacked tonight

Maybe it was LML then, someone said something about screwing around because of the score, our bad if it wasn't you. And if you had to think fast...well, say that to begin with. Frustration comes from a perceived lack of trying, not from honest mistakes.

For the sake of accuracy, it was 4-1 when you went for the hit in question. Because I specifically remember the exchange of you basically saying "Ya, that might have been bad but it's 4-1" and goofy replying, "well now it's 4-2."

You can't get upset at goofy for being a bit irritated here. You didn't say "Ya, that was bad, I won't do that in the future." You honestly admitted that you did it because it was 4-1. Maybe it's true you wouldn't have done it in a close game, but the game was ultimately lost in the end, so it mattered. 3 goal deficits are hardly insurmountable.

Personally, when I'm on offense and we have no success in a game, I try and figure out what I can do better for the team. I know full well I make mistakes, and I think I'm pretty good at fessing up to them when I do. And I'm 100 % fine with anyone on our team telling me something I'm doing wrong or something I can do better.

Same

same..i'd also just like to add I'm harder on myself than anyone else ever could be.

I would love to say more, but unnamed inconsistent mod might perceive it as trolling so I'll just say...

Huge lol at blasting a dman for going for a hit in a 3 goal game.

Fair enough.. maybe I should have said it during the game but im definitely not gonna ever consider it "fun time" in a 2 goal game middle of the 2nd period.. especially the way we run. Middle of the 3rd, maybe a little bit, but even then, still being careful to not give away a huge breakaway.

fun time for us is basically

1-goal lead against an amateur team
2-goal lead against a pro team
3-goal lead against anyone but like a top 50 team

how do i always miss the 19-1 wins

+1

1. curious what your FO attribute is at, and if it's always been at that?
2. for the 'deke-through' win, how many times a game would you say you use it, on average? do you think the coding for it is more randomized than a standard win?

the only starting points are jam the stick left or right. pushing up on the right stick obv shoots the puck forward.

as for FO points, I played C a few games yesterday and my FO was 99, my FO was at least 70%+ a lost FO was rare. some may think it's overkill, I prefer to start the play with the puck IMO

you are going to get your balls busted. passivity loses games. teamates are going to get angry at you as much as they get angry at themselves for screw ups... dont take it personally. i'm sure you guys have tons of good games where its all ***** and giggles. the end goal is to have more of those. in the end you'll be getting complimented more than heckled.

it's like having a girlfriend. when she says, "you're the worst boyfriend ever" you know that hoe don't mean it. she'll be on your dick by sunset. brush your shoulders off bud, greener pastures.

When I realized the AI SS and other F weren't going to attack the net the same way our real F attack, I knew it was time to try other options.The C pass to LD then fire pass to RD for the one-timer was a damn sick play! I think it's a play we need to work into our offence because it's a strong % play, and with the slappers our D have, there are rebound opportunities.
