Letting the goal in is the biggest ass chapper though. Couldnt get back in rhythm after that, but I will be trying again. Richies score is going to be really tough to beat. Playing really well, seems like I get about 20 goals in a period. Executing perfectly face off to goal seems to take 12 seconds. But once you lose the puck, all bets are off. I've tried to give this up. I've been doing this since 2012 and I'm proud of what I've done going back to when Tom showed up from TG and I said we were just as good as they were when we were beating their records. I went head to head with the best in the world back in 2013 and I held my own. I was a first ballot Hall of Famer for a reason. I never thought I'd be full time again, but I'd love to try and help show everyone that the best gamers are playing at VGS!

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I started practicing Palamedes. I'm really rusty. Haven't played in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think a score that I already tied years ago is "tough to beat"? I dunno where @BriGuy82 is, but either one of us could win this thing. Cardinals front office held a press conference today about "a special business decision." Fans were hoping they were adding a starting pitcher or firing the manager. They are adding a logo from a sponsor to the jerseys. Being a cardinal fan sucks hard this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a cardinal fan sucks hard this year I haven't seen them play this year, but I think most sportsbooks had them as the favorites to win the division. The Reds are still tough to watch, but they are close to the .500 mark which is probably better than they were expected to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best I’ve got for the week. I just can’t stop those pesky Yanks from scoring once or twice. I still haven't hit 60 yet. The computer lineup of all medium guys has a habit of rushing my big guy all at once and blocking my shot before I can get the goalie to move out of the way.

I beat my personal best by 1, but I should have had 73 if I didn't give up a lazy goal at the end of the third period thinking that I had enough time left on the clock to get it back, but my shot got blocked right as the time ran out.

Im not blaming my 4 year old son, but the outbursts werent helpful. During the 50-0 game, he came over to me, started jumping up and down screaming Dad dad dad!!! Paused it. I thought there may be a real issue. He said there was a tangela in his room. Technically there is - its stuffed. When I unpaused, I immediately coughed up the puck and blew a minute and a half off the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Added a score to my first post. I've only gotten to play twice so far, not a lot of time with my move impending.
