Re: The Anchorage Wolverines

For what its worth...

my jerseys look pretty similar to the one in that last update with Gomez playing for the Aces.

Not perfect...but the same mood of jersey, so to speak.

I was just about to say... Did you Photoshop that pic? I've never seen those jerseys before, they look pretty cool.

Maybe you should look for some more pics with players in those jerseys for your articles.

Atlantic/Pacific Divisions Lead The Way

As the collective NHL hovers around the 50-game marker, 6 of the 8 teams in the NHL with a winning percentage of .600 or better hail from the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions.

Pacific Division

SJS 31-13-4 (.685)
ANA 28-17-3 (.615)
AKW 27-17-5 (.602)

Atlantic Division

NJD 30-11-4 (.711)
NYI 28-14-5 (.649)
PIT 29-17-3 (.622)

++On a side note, Anchorage forward Trevor Pollock will be getting a shot on the 1st line along side Evgeni Malkin and Peter Forsberg after his impressive two goal performance. Pollock has had mostly third and fourth line duty during his limited play this season.

Re: The Anchorage Wolverines

Good win! It's not easy to score five on Miller. Good move, pulling pollock to the first line, he earned it.

Re: The Anchorage Wolverines

That last table was a serious fail, lol.

But damn, Labarbera is playing so well this guy might have just stolen the number one job. You know you have to ride the hot hand, as they say.

LOL...I seriously just gave up...these tables have a mind of their own sometimes and I just couldn't.

And yes, Labarbera is owning lately. He will definitely see a steady amount of time down the stretch, unless he implodes.

I love stat splits, don't you??? This is one thing I wish NHL 11 would do...MLB 2k10 does this really well. Makes franchise pretty immersive.

The stat overlays and stuff they have now is so bare bones. I'd love if they could just focus on presentation, the game needs it badly to take that extra step forward.

Re: The Anchorage Wolverines

Second Seeded Flames Drop Wolverines 4-3

Jarome Iginla tallied a goal and an assist as he continues his solid performance against the Wolverines during their inaugural season.

Evgeni Malkin would score 18 seconds into the game as the Flames would respond just 1:16 later tying the game 1-1 before the contest was two minutes old.

The Flames came into the game sporting the best road record in the league (21-4-1) while the Wolverines were the NHL pace setter for home ice success pinning a 21-5-3 mark entering the game. However, with the loss the Wolverines have a rare two-game home losing streak.
