Ottawa Senators - rebuilding from the ground up (NHL 12 BAGM)

[Dynasty]

Good job sticking with it so far, I know it can be hard to keep playing when your loosing like this.

Just a couple questions what did ea rate alfy and spezza at, and do you remember what management asked you to do this season, how many wins etc...

Wow, 6 pts for Kesler - what a machine that game.

I don't remember what spezza and alfy are rated exactly but off the top of my head i'd say spezza is around 86, and alfy around 83... I knew it was gonna be a tough season, but so many close games have started to wear on me, I'll be tied until halfway through the 3rd period most games, they will score one or two goals to end the game.
was thinking about put auto shot aim on to see if my goal totals will go up a little. I'm planning on doing a writeup on my penalty kill soon too as it has been terrible, pretty much every game they allow a goal or two. must be sitting at something like 40-50% on the year, and with 4-5 penalties a game, thats like giving them 2 goals.

Don't think I'm going to keep Alfy around for much longer. I find him really slow skating and will be better off saving cap room for next offseason, so I'll probably just take on some prospects for him. Svatos is a speedster who I think will fit in well with Spezza and Michalek on the top line. I wanna trade a goalie too as I've got Auld sitting in the AHL with both Anderson and LeClare in the NHL. Both of them are rated 84, and play indentically, I find that Leclare doesn't bite on dekes as quick as Anderson does, so might look to trade Anderson by the time January rolls around in the game (its currently first week of december)

Can't remember what the GM goals were. Might have been to make the playoffs, or might have been like 60 points, something like that.

so far I've had the toughest time trying to defend Kesler and Gaborik on the Rangers, he's had something like 8 points in the two games I've played against NYR.
I like the game this year, with the different playing styles, one guy can just take over a game, and seems to either find the open space, or skate around the others every time.

I find that too.
