    Pucking Ridiculous: Stay Away, I'm Sick



    Stay away from me everyone, I'm sick.

    I can't seem to shake this affliction. I've searched my world and the vast expanse of the Internet for a cure. However, the more I try to seek relief, the more the symptoms seem to intensify. My temperature is 104 and the sweating will not relent. Man, does it seem cold in here to anyone else? These shivers are relentless. My fever is accompanied by nausea, and while I have been guzzling Pepto Bismol like it's candy, it does not seem to be helping. In the midst of all of this, my wife is still lovely -- too bad my friends seem to think I have gone mad.

    What's that you ask? What is this affliction? Well friends, it is none other than the dreaded NHL 11 flu.

      Indeed they definititely went all out and added a lot of stuff this year, instead of laying back when they could due to no competition on the next-gen consoles. It's good to see them go out there, add new stuff, and take a chance for better or for worse.

              Wrong colour "Blue". Are you not aware that prior to every NHL season, the Toronto Maple Leafs will ALWAYS win the Stanley Cup! It's a tradition.
              ...then the season starts.

                Hockey is such a hardcore sport. You either love it or hate it man. Hockey has the fewest casual fans ever thus the lack of fever.
                Gaming hard since 1988

                I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

                  I feel your affliction. Fortunately, my Doctor prescribed me some NCAA to help with the pain until I can get my NHL 11 fix.

                    I moved to central kentucky for a year after college (grew up in Michigan). I felt like i was a sports pagan. All the guys i worked just kinda knew me as some weird guy that loved hockey. I had to pretend to understand UK basketball, despite my utter apathy toward the sport. My paganism continued as my weekly beer league game in Lexington was my holy sanctuary where i could be around those like me. Being forced to watch the Stanley cup playoffs pushed into a corner of a sportsbar, It was hard on me. Watching my redwings win the stanley cup with nobody to yell with or hug.

                      I can't wait! I'm still majorly dissapointed Gary Thorne is play by play guy. WHEN YOU CAN ONLY PRONOUNCE 70 PERCENT OF THE PLAYERS PROPERLY, THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM!

                        I feel your your pain, NHL is the one game I play year around and is my favorite out of all games I play.

                          I think most of us on the board can relate to the painful wait for 9/7.

                          And like Plaidchuck mentioned, the guys at EA Canada have certainly added things to the coming game to be excited about.

                          I've been blessed in a number of ways. And one of those ways is to have been born and raised in "Hockey country"...Northeastern Minnesota.

                            Yeah the temperature is rising for sure, fortunately I live in Finland where hockey is the national sport, so I have plenty of people to talk NHL11 with.

                            We´re counting days to the release, unfortunately we don´t get the game until the 16th or something...

                              That's one thing about Jersey--for unimpressive as it really is (especially when it comes to hockey, other than having ONE high school that's arguably top 3 in the country, we're nothing special), everyone's got hockey fever. So many kids are playing, and even the kids that aren't playing tune in occasionally. Believe it or not, people ACTUALLY DO go to Devils games! I was shocked!
