2014 NHL Offseason Thread: THE YEAR IS 0001 P.T.(POST-TEEMU)

Emrick in the game makes me want to punch a baby. I don't know why people like him.

I used to be OK with him because he gets really excited and shit, but the random conversation and off-topic bullshit drives me insane now.

[Vaspinne]

The trailer for NHL15 got me dangerously close to punching my monitor when Marchand was shown. Too realistic. I'll break something.

Think how good it'll feel when you injure him in game and see how realistic him writhing in pain is!

And add the Shannaban Wheel of Discipline. Where even the game won't know if a career ending injury will be a mere 1 game or an in person hearing for 25+ games!

Gary Bettman accepted his icebucket challenge. I may not like him very much as the commissioner but he gained a couple respect points with me for doing it.

Is the ALS challenge purely to build awareness about the disease? Or is there money actually being raised for research? It seems like anyone and everyone involved in the NHL (as well as other places) is doing it

[Aksannyi]

They are donating as well. I think the challenge is you have to dump the ice or donate but most of the celebrities and athletes have been donating and dumping the ice on them anyway, at least from my understanding of it.

He's awesome. Honestly you can dump Eddie and just let Doc go all Vin Scully.

Last I saw they had raised 5m+ through this thing and since EVERYONE is doing it, they have gained a ton of awareness.

You should hold an ice bucket challenge to raise awareness for how well your premade plays Frontlines on your data center.

Read somewhere they got about 270k last year. This year somewhere close to 2 million. So this campaign has done well.

[Melena]

So yea that video sold me on NHL '15. Be the first one I've played in about ten years. Going to be rusty as fuck.....

The commentary is pretty awful imo. Really choppy and robotic since he says a couple words, pause waits for next action, says something else, pauses. It needs to flow better and there is so little emotion in it.

[Ivaden]

When my Be a Pro scores the game 7 overtime Stanley Cup winning goal, Doc better show a little more emotion than what he did in this video.
