1. Hit anything that moves. (See also: "Borking")
2. 20 minutes of aggravation of being embarrassed by a group of frenchie danglers because you can't check them or poke the puck away. (See also. "Tecmo Bowl'd")
3. The EASHL is your chance to show the world that you or your team are the best in the world. The EASHL allows you to take a created character online and compete in a 6 v 6 hockey game. All stats are tracked as your player grows to become a legend. Your team is also tracked in over 30 statistical areas and is ranked in the leaderboards. Join the EASHL to try to become the next great one. (See also: ":fuckoff:")

If you don't know what this is by now, get out.

Looking forward to playing again. Everybody remember to save and upload videos (and slow 'em down and use camera angles so they are watchable) to youtube so I have something to tinker with when I take a class in Special Effects this fall.

We are two players in Europe in RGR* marioinblack, and as long as you aren't trying to creep on Bradf0rds wife on facebook, you´re be welcome back too.

This thread and Pleads' video are the best representation of internet hockey that I've ever seen. I don't really give a poo poo about EASHL so I'll just be here to check out all of the videos and updates for whatever goon nonsense is going on throughout the year. Bork hard, gentlemen :tipshat:

Keep on pushing
little buddy

I shall indeed be back this year. I even went as far as to consider getting the season pass thing to get the game early but then I felt dirty and shameful and had to go take a shower. I will however be taking a couple of days off at launch because I have poo poo loads of vacation to use and nothing worthwhile to spend it on so yay I guess!

Recommend a position to play that isn't going to cripple my team if I'm not amazing?

My experience with NHL games is that my friends and I play each other constantly and I win probably 80% of the time, crazy competitive.

If you somehow fail to get A on position, even without it, you should be taken behind the shed and shot due to lack of brain functions

Everyone is bad at defense the first time and wrecks everything for their team. That said, play defense. Once you improve your skills will be in high demand.

Also you can't possibly be worse than the assholes who think "left defense" means "left wing" means "Ovechkin without the shooting ability"

e: Tacking on: It is much, much easier to transition from defense to forward than vice versa. I can technically play defenseman, but I tend to get torched by forwards who are not close to as good as forward-me.

Thanks! Do I have to start "be a pro" first or can I just start online in EASHL and play online? I traded in NHL13 for credit towards NHL14.

You can just start online. The stats are separate, except I would assume you can still unlock your boosts either online or offline.
