Top Assists:

hopefully the 100 pts is correct =p

5) Andre Vissia - Calgary
Calgary... hmmmm....
that should be 70 assists, sorry!
Thanks Calv!
95 pts is still a good season. I can't complain.

It's alright. They can play goon in the 4th line of the Q while the rest of us play 1st line min and become stars.

So far it looks like I'll be nothing but a regular in SM-liiga. Not doing particularily well even in the Juniors - but then again, I'm like 4-5 years younger than everyone else in that league.

I'd be fine with a regular spot in SM-liiga. :-)

I think the game gives unfair low ratings to young players in the Euro leagues.

Look at Cherepanov in the regular game - he never gets above 6,30 in the Russian Superleague and never puts up good numbers compared to in real life. I think the AI just plays older players above young players, even if the young players are great.

I'll get you, Flex Torso... and your little dog too! :-p


It's cool to that my guy was playing in the Q and made it into the playoffs but I didn't mean to put myself someplace I wasn't supposed to be. You could've just told me I was going to be put elsewhere. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sent to an NCAA team, which is where most players from my area end up.

I haven't particularily payed attention to Cherepanov, but it's not like my player's attribs are that great either. Not yet atleast.

Besides in Finnish juniors the league that is included in the game as "Finnish Junior League" is infact know as the "A-level juniors" in real life, which is meant for older junior players; a fourteen year old would not normally even play in that series, he would be in the B-, or C-juniors.

I have to agree with ElQuapo.
Obviously, there is something about Euro leagues, especially when it comes to unfair low ratings in hidden attributes.
You have exceptions though...

Well...actually a trade from Chilli to a Central Division team would be nice. But I will play where I am told!!! No holdouts for me. I good Canadian boy, and not Lindros. Atta Boy Bart's parents raised him right!

It's still going to be a fairly large file. I don't think winzip or winrar is going to compress it that much. I'm guessing our best bet would be to host it at FileFront or RapidShare. Anyone know any other good ones?

I haven't had any problems with Filefront.

And my question is, did calv save it compressed or uncompressed?

Because my 283 meg uncompressed became a 53 meg file. Not a bad compression rate for raring I would think.
