  1. I guess not everyone understands roster limits either.
  2. If they had roster and cap space and wanted to sign Cleary, so be it. If they end up losing people over wanting to bring him back, or someone ends up in GR, that's absurd.
  3. This is retarded. If Cleary signs with the Wings I will legitimately be pissed off. Not because what he has done, but because it's time to MOVE ON!

    NHL 14

    I didn't realize it was coming out yesterday, but I picked it up on the way home from work for 360. I think this version has a lot of physics improvements and the skating has really improved since last year. NHL 13 everyone skated like Dan Cleary, it was annoying and almost too realistic in that regard. When I started the game up it went through the normal settings: whats your favorite team, etc. However, it also had different 'modes' I guess you could call them. The options were High Impact, Simulation, and Hardcore Simulation. If I understand these correctly, they alter the way the game is played. High Impact focuses more on hits and arcade style games while sim and hardcore sim make it more like a simulator and realistic. I chose hardcore sim. I actually really like the way this version of the game so far. I've only been buying them consistently for the last 6 years or so, and they usually add a thing or two: board battles, improved faceoffs, etc. This year the game seems more refined than any of the previous I have played. One thing to keep in mind, it actually makes more sense to develop a core engine and add to that every year fixing 'glitches' (which half of the time are high probability shots) so that way you are constantly improving on that engine. If they start from the ground up, it will take 5-6 years for the game to be as refined as it is today. No matter how you slice it, starting over is starting over. It's like buying a first year car, it's bounds to have some quirks.

    Winter classic tickets

    I think they do a group every week, or every few days, or something on some kind of rotation. I kept my original tickets, but I also had the opportunity to buy more this year. I didn't buy any more though.
  6. So I was just playing NHL 14 and I decided I should play my first game against Buffalo just like this year's schedule. I won the game. The weird part, 2 goals including the GWG...by Daniel Cleary.
  7. What happened to the other thread? It's gone this morning. Did the entire thread really have to be deleted, what happened? I kind of wanted to read the rest of it..... If Helm can't play Emmerton will be up, but I that would also deal with the roster cap in its own way.

    I'm sure it's easier for these guys to get apartments for the short stays they have.

    Franzen: "I am not a goal scorer"

    This is all I was going to say. Don't hold your breath, Mule will never be bought out. He might not be the goal scorer we all want him to be (and yes he frustrates me too), but for what he gets paid, he does his job and the Wings would be complete fools to buy him out.

    Any new Helm Updates?

    Kesler. Kronwall. Heh.

    USA Olympic '14 Jerseys

    Meh. Maybe I'll just buy another one from 2010. Or I'll just rock my Rafalski next year.

    Single Game Tix

    Right on. I'm not trying to get tickets, just trying to get some information out for others who might be. I can only afford one trip to Det this season and it will be for the WC.

    Pretty sure the NHL was locked out in 2009.

    Pre-Sale Codes for the Season

    From what I've been told, March 6 tickets are not available today, or they sold out of them for today, and there might be some more on sale tomorrow. FWIW, it doesn't look like the presale code is anything special so I don't see any harm in posting it. ZETTERBERG

    Preds Managemant Charging Hawks Fans Double

    Not all packages were like that. For example, I didn't get tickets to the Alumni game, just one of the GLI games. I wish I had Alumni tickets. But yes, they did make you buy a ticket package.
