Wow, really enjoying this so far, will try to get up some real impressions after I've had some time with it this weekend but I just had to put this up now because it was pretty awesome.

Playing Hurricanes (me) vs. Rangers and Nash lines up one of my guys and destroys him in my D-zone(!) while I'm trying to get the puck out. Bergeron comes over to stand up for Harrison and Nash won't take the bait. Fine. Well this gets Callahan in a bad mood because I'm messing with his guy so he comes over. Whistle blows. Ruutu comes over as well and gets into it with Callahan and they drop the gloves where I receive a decisive beatdown. Rough minors for Bergeron and Nash, fighting for Ruutu and Callahan. 4-on-4 ensues.

I was so confused and giddy all at once that I had to go back and watch it all unfold a few times. Great stuff!!

Edit: I know you can't record replays in the game, but does anyone know if there is any rule against putting up video? I took one of the replay of the above on my cell and will put it up if it's not breaking any rules?

Playing on the higher difficulty with simulation tuning and I really like it. I enjoyed last year after spending weeks playing around with slider settings. But so far out of the box I really like it.

Bjorn Pluss, drafted sixth round by Nashville Power forward out of WHL. So far game is fun. Live the life is good. Answered questions for pre draft interviews. Played as the Hurricanes in the memorial cup, needless to say wooped every game. Bjorn scored two goals in the first two games and fought six times, really have to account for the hits.

Watched the cpu fight in the second game, very entertaining. The minutes felt right and the Hurricanes lost to the Moosheads 4-3, and the knights 7-2, simmed final game and lost 6-0.

No real stats to report just that it all looks fun so far. Experience is much harder to gain. Despite scoring two goals my player only gained 22 exp. But that seems to be a more realistic sum since they asked for 120 overall in the tournament and the team didn't fair so well.

Pinky and the Brain reference?

"Your team comes into Edmonton on a winning streak. How do you keep it going tonight?"

A) We just do the same thing we do every game, try to take over the league.

OH and new message board in both BeaGM, and LTL. it is convenient trade block updates and what not. Other than that had a post draft interview with Nashville,that's right post draft, they signed me to three years after the interview. My player is only eighteen so maybe that has to do with juniors and pro.

Well that was confusing the city gave Bjorn a billboard touting him as the next great thing. Then the team told me I barely made it and was almost sent down before pre-season.

My player just cut his hand sticking it through a fence to sign some autographs for some kids.

-10 to all my shooting and puck handling attributes.
