When has the "bring old superstars in the mix" strategy ever worked?

200$ sounds like alot for a rasberry pie with roms installed on it.

But hey, as long as you're happy.

Despite the fact that 20 minutes earlier I suggested that I want you to die, I'm here asking if you have any suggestions.

I'm looking for plug and play here - don't want to have to solder, program, hack or get off my couch.

I think the Bozak train has left the station.

Iginla was sweet that year. I think a lot of people forget that. It’s just delaying the cap hit for a year meant we had to trade Boychuk for picks and ultimately Reilly Smith for Jimmy (frank)ing Hayes.

They are good games for sure.

But clearly not for everyone.

Also, if Iginla didn’t snub the Bruins in ‘13, when he chose Pittsburgh, I think he’d have his cup.

I'll try and look something up for ya. Obviously if the idea was to save money with a little effort I'd tell you to buy a rasberry pi and a rom card but that would imply a minimal effort on your part.

Give me a few minutes.

Not often, but Bourque, Guerin, Recchi come to mind

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm old and grumpy, so I'd rather dump $200-$250 and not worry about it.

Summer of 2001 Red Wings signed aging Luc Robitaille and Brett Hull and traded for a past his prime Dominik Hasek. They'd lost UFA Marty Lapointe to Boston. Detroit was one of the oldest teams to win the Cup.

Was it 200$ CAD? I presume it didn't include shipping?

They were past their prime but still pretty damn good.

Yeah, assume around $250 - $300, all in.

Good ones. I think a lot of people forget this, but Mark Recchi and Ray Bourque didn’t win the cup the same season as their trade. They had to resign for the next year. I routinely trip people up on that Bourque one.

BTW, Amirov and Hallandar for Kapanen is looking like a ridiculous steal.

Definitely. 👍 They basically dummied the league and then Bowman sat his vets the last month of the season. Whiners like Kevin Lowe called them the "Diet Wings." 🤣 It almost bit them in the a$$ though. If Dan Cloutier doesn't whiff on the Lidstrom centre ice goal in round 1 things may have turned out quite differently.

This one comes with over 15k games and is 194 CAD shipping included with 2 controllers.

It looks weird because the system has no case and is basically just a box but should work fine.

Also, the order system isn't through e-mail like the one you posted earlier.

Looks legit.

I have him in my keeper's league. His value just skyrocketed.

Habs managed to ruin sweeping the Leafs by getting swept by the Wings.

That's why this Canadian division is bad news for Detroit. Who the (frank) will we beat now? 🤣

You guys actually played the Bruins pretty well a couple of times as well. I think you beat us twice.

People are sleeping in my league. I just picked him up

I have a bad temper as it is. I don’t need a game that will make me want to throw the controller through a window
