Is there european goon team? I've mainly played vs and I can imagine the lag getting out of hand on eashl if people are from all over the place. Now I got a deja vu feeling I've asked this guestion atleast twice before the answer has been "there is no lag! come play!" then I try a drop in game and it's laggy as hell. There should be european goon team.

We are a few euro goons playing, but I think everyone are in teams. You should hang out in the IRC channel to OTP anyway.

And the lag is OK once you get used to it, just don't play goalie or center

Yeah I'm not looking forward to the Euro lag. However, it shouldn't be as bad since my interent when I lived in the states was pretty awful. Playing some other games, the lag has been manageable so I hope it translates.

I play at such erratic hours I'll play as much or more with you than I would with a euro team.


... Unless I find a lot of guys who prefer to wake up an hour or two early to play videogames before the daily grind of life starts

I'm UK based and the lag can be variable at times but you learn to compensate for it so its not all bad.

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!

The Season Ticket also gives you early access to FIFA! And 20% off of DLC is pretty nice when you as dumb as I am and buy all the courses for Tiger Woods and then quit playing 2 days later.

I am very likely making my (completely un)triumphant return to EASHL this season. Anyone need a pass first forward? Defense makes my blood pressure spike to dangerous levels, so I need a spot up front. I am about 8/10 serious, but my talent is more like 5/10 :negative:

Juice, just to let you know why I removed you from the team. Not for how you played since I got disconnected 10 minutes into the first. But I can't stress how much I do not care about listening to anything to related to HUT, who you played in hut or waiting 10 minutes and 5 minutes after every game for you to do :catdrugs: . It's not you, its me.. I just think we are in very different places in our lives.. I still like you, but as a friend and I really just need to focus on my career right now.

This year's money goal:

1) Be a left handed shot, shooting on a regular (glove on left hand) goalie
2) Skate right to left through the high slot, shoot over glove hand
3) repeat

Alternatively, just shoot at the glove. We just faced a team that scored 6 times, in the exact same spot.
