nhl 12

played a tournament, won. i scored once doing that skate across the
blue line, cut back across the middle and shoot low, get the rebound
and open net. it wasn't very consistent to score much, clearly,
though the players were crashing the net looking for hte rebound.

went into OT against USA. nots ure how i got the puck but i got it in
the neutral RW side, passed it to the LW who was anticipating the
breakout, who crossed the line as the pass was coming across the line,
has a clear breakaway (not sure how against a team like USA, i had
full breakout though and i did notice at one point they had a pretty
high forecheck, guess the two opposing strategies allowed the
breakaway) , i come in against miller from the left, (raymond from
canucks had the puck, a lefthander) and toe drag, and then as i cut
across the crease shoot it short side. goal. pretty sweet play.
its pretty much how i do shootouts in real life, though it would be
considered more a far side shot because im already on the left side as
im shooting TR corner.

that would never happen in nhl 10. one of the legends videos, you
can see yzerman coming up to the goalie on a breakaway straight on,
has his stick all the way to his right, then takes it left, HUGE
amount of room movement just
with the stick, just like real life, would be really hard to stop as a
goalie.)

the anticipation, really showed itself in that one play. goona be a
good game, though I did notice if you continuously shoot low its a
rebound everytime, i guess just like real life, but it could be
spammed. sometimes it says you'll shoot off the ground, not sure
why, and the goalie gets it. mostly, it'll reboundoff the goalies
pads or off a Dman into the boards.

yeah dude, the fricken stick lift button is worthless as well as the
poke check. i stick lifted a guy twice in a row, he skates away with
the puck. only time i noticed poke check works is if the guy gets the
puck from a rebound and you're right by him and get a lukcy poke, but
its not guaranteed you'll get it.

really, the check is the most useful thing to stop people.

i did score a cross crease, but it was against the first team, the
shitty team. corey perry up the LW side, i didnt hold A but just put
the puck to his left, then cross creased it. they were using
collapsed D, the Dman went to the crease rather than stopping the F
comin to the net. actually, it was chara who did that, and i scored
against the bruins. i scored a point shot with 10 seconds left too,
the one Bruins F came to block the shot and the pouck JUST missed him,
went TL. pretty sweet shot.

Do Club Challenges work the same as last year?"

Club Challenge still exists, however the results of those games are
now unranked. All ranked EASHL games will have to be played through
the Quick Match function. The reason this was changed was to fix an
issue where teams were win trading against other teams by challenging
the same club to Club Challenge games.

about time they get some common sense about that shit. not sure why
club hopping would be a big deal.

hopefully i can watch some games other than the pens with the
Gamecenter, do some analysis of hockey. gonna look into some books
maybe next weekend when i come up. books.google.com good resource.
scholar.google.com for my research, and the AMU library, all i really
need.

gotta work on this paper.
