That... but that wastes time if you are trying to score more than 100. The shot from the top of the face off circles works too. (Has to be the Genesis version)

Buffalo, Boston, Detroit, LA and Toronto are the easiest to score with.

The trick is getting 100 with San Jose or Ottawa.

Was there any other version that didn't suck???

Sure did. Puck bunnies.

There were some girls that my team parties with, and they will bang anything in a Timberwolves coat/jersey.

And if you get unlucky like me, that one nighter turns into a multiyear relationship.

Kinda sounds like the college I played 1 year for. I was at a party and this girl came up to me and said, and I quote, "You're on the hockey team? Why haven't I f*cked you yet?" Too bad she was hit as poop and weighed more than me.

1. I still remember playing outdoors as a mite and having to have the coaches lift us off the snow bank and over the boards for our shift. Of course, I few of the daring ones would just kind of tumble over the boards by themselves.

2. I only played goalie once in squirts; they were looking for a volunteer. We lost 11-1, I was never asked again.

3. Even though I was born not to be a goalie, my all-time favorite player is Ron Hextall.

4. I scored a goal on Hexy once. I was 11-years-old. I'm pretty sure he let it go five-hole on purpose.

5. The loudest I have ever heard an arena was game 6 of the 1987 finals. My ears rang for a week and a half.

6. I was offered, and accepted an animal cracker from Gordie Howe.

7. Even though I have always strongly disliked the Penguins, I have an autographed Mario Lemieux stick hanging on the wall above my desk.

8. Since I was not alive for either of the Flyer's cups, the greatest euphoria I have ever experienced was at the 2002 NCAA Final at the Xcel Energy Center. Watching the Gophers tie it up late and win it in OT over Maine with the hometown crowd going insane was pure heaven for a life-long Gopher fan.

9. The most fun I have ever had at a hockey game was a 5OT game in the Minnesota State High School Tourney between Apple Valley and Duluth East. I will never forget the wave that the fans had going being the fourth and fifth overtimes. It was about 1am, and I think everyone was just trying to stay awake. The wave made it the entire circumference of the Civic Center in what seemed like mere seconds and sustained itself for about 5 minutes.

10. I once was lucky enough to sit next to Gene Hart and let him tell stories for a solid hour. If there was ever someone that could spin a yarn, it was Mr. Hart.

11. Speaking of announcers, there is a severe shortage of quality ones throughout the league.

12. The shootout is probably the worst idea ever contrived.

13. I will always remember the feeling of the school song being played after I scored the goal. It was as if you were the one that struck a match and the fire just roared.

14. My wife (who's from Wisconsin) still doesn't believe me when I tell her that from 4th grade on, our classrooms always had a television in them to watch the state high school tournament. Schoolwork could wait, and even the teachers realized that.

15. I miss North Star/Blackhawk games.

16. I went to a parade to celebrate the return of NHL hockey to Minnesota, even though I really can't stand the Wild.

17. The US Hockey Hall of Fame is unfortunately being wasted in Eveleth.

18. I wore a whale tail pendant on a chain around my neck throughout high school and still believe the Whalers had one of sports all-time great logos.

19. I still remember my dad taking game notes about my performance on recipe cards.

20. Do my shin pads stink? Yep. My gloves reek? Sure do. Could the scent of my skates wilt flowers? Maybe. But I've grown used to it; and to be honest, I kind of like the smell of hockey.

My greatest NHL Hockey Moments are


1. Needing a ride from Detroit I was picked up by a dude and his hot a$$ girlfriend ... Only to realise it was Kyle Wellwood and he was driving back into Windsor - We smoked some weed and got autograph sticks!

2. Gordie Howe comes to my work all the time (Huge GM supporter) and brings us free stuff!

3. I learned to skate 2 years ago and taught myself goalie through high light reel videos on youtube and now I lead my B/C Division league with a 12-3-1 record... 2.31 GAA and .922 SV% with only one shut out though

4. Witnessing the 5-2 come back this year against New York Rangers -- I was anxious for a goal and when the first one was scored with half of the third left I got excited (Extremely drunk at this point) and than another goal came and as I was going to sit down another goalie went in (toronto was up 3-2 now from John Mitchell) So I got so excited I went to hug my friend and punched a woman in the seat beside him in the face hard accidently trying to wrap my arms around for the hug of excitement ... So As I was apologizing another goal went in and I completely cut my apology off to celebrate..

5. Witnessing Mats Sundin cry at the ACC during his Vancouver game return .. Loudest Ovation ever ....

6. I pissed all over the Owen Sound Attack Bus in 2004 for beating my Generals lol

1. I watched my first Flyers game at 5 days old.
2. I have seen NHL games in 6 arenas: The Spectrum, Wachovia Center, Nassau Coliseum, Verizon Center, Continental Airlines Arena, Prudential Center
3. My earliest memory is going with my grandfather to buy my first pair of skates. I was two and a half.
4. Those toddler-sized CCM's now hang on my wall.
5. I wore the #22 for Rick Tocchet. I eventually switched to #4 because it's a "defenseman's number", 2+2=4, and my dad's favorite player of all time is Bobby Orr.
6. I refuse to wear odd numbers except in extreme cases. Besides 4 and 22, I have worn 6, 12, 14, 23, and 32.
7. Eric Desjardins is my favorite player of all time.
8. I have attended close to 300 Flyers games.
9. I estimate that I've played about 600 games.
10. I played defense for about 550 of those games.
11. The best game I've ever attended was Game 6 of the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals. I was 6 years old.
12. My current rotation of Flyers jerseys consists a white Mike Richards jersey, an retro orange Braydon Coburn jersey, and an old white Eric Desjardins jersey.
13. I led my team in penalty minutes for 6 out of 7 consecutive seasons.
14. My dad only missed 2 of the first 100 games that I played. In those 2 games, he happened to miss my first concussion and my first goal.
15. I might be the only person ever to begin dating someone at a Phantoms game, and later break up with them at a Phantoms game.
16. I have been penalized for "Closing the Hand on the Puck".
17. My squirt team was so bad that we lost 16-0 and 17-1 on back to back days.
18. I have never met a goaltender that was completely sane.
19. Given the option to sit in the lower bowl or the upper bowl, I'd choose the upper bowl 100% of the time.
20. Driving the zamboni is on my "things to do before I die" list.
