My NHL Playoffs

by James on Bass! on Jul 14, 2011 11:06 AM CDT

So I'm in a league for NHL 2K11 on wii. It was a full 82 game schedule with 30 players. I know people might be asking "Why would a bad mf like you be playing a 2k game? And on wii?" I switched to 2k in '05, I just like the game play better. The graphics might not be as good. But that's about the only thing I think is better in the ea games. I don't care about all of their gimmicks and game modes. I just care about game play, and online capabilities. 2k isn't making a hockey game next year, but I'll deal with that in a few months. And the only reason I bought a wii is for the hockey game. I thought it would be way fun...and it is.

Now for some season highlites........ Of course I was the Stars

I finished with a record of 56-18-8 for 120 points. I won the Pacific and got the 2nd seed in the West. Edmonton had 141 points winning the President's Trophy.

I made two trades. Niskanen for Goligosky, and Petersen for Brad Winchester.

Here's what my lines look like

Richards-Neal-Eriksson

Ribeiro-Morrow-Benn

Ott-Burrish-Winchester

Wandell-Barch-Sutherby

Robidas-Grossman

Skrastins-Goligosky

Fistric-Daley

Lehtonen

Raycroft

Edmonton had 141 points...

So, a team with the fewest points in the league last year (and BRUTAL special teams) is suddenly four wins better then the highest point total of all time? Dang, those youngsters grew up quick…

Yeah the Dude using the Oilers is friggin' good.

We split our season series and I made up for 1/5 of his losses. But The word is they are resetting the servers in 2 weeks. So I’m not sure we’re going to finish this thing. Kind of frustrating!

We might finish this thing after all.

And holy shit! I made the Finals! I was supposed to play Detroit in the 2nd round, but the guy never showed up. So since we’re in a time crunch I got advanced. I don’t like to win that way, but there was nothing I could do. Then came Edmonton in the Conference Finals…..

Game 1-Dallas 9 Edmonton 6
Game 2-Dallas 5 Edmonton 4 (I was down 3-1 going into the 3rd. Ott ties it and Winchester wins it in ot)
Game 3-Edmonton 2 Dallas 4
Game 4-Edmonton 5 Dallas 3
Game 5-Dallas 12 Edmonton 7 (I was down 7-6 going into the 3rd then had a 6 goal period to close out the series in Edmonton)

Eriksson, Richards, and Neal had 12-11-and 10 points in the series. Ott had 7 and Winchester had 6.

On to the Finals! I’ll be playing Buffalo and they’ll have home ice. I love playing the guy using Buffalo. We’ve played a ton of games and they’re always insane. One of us will go up by 5 goals, then the other player will usually come back and win in ot. I was surprised I was able to get Edmonton in 5, that guy is a good player. But I would be really surprised if this one didn’t go 7.
