  1. Oh, Mike from Langley? Calling this season a failed season: a team that wasn't expected by many to make the playoffs.

      @Ghosts I was thinking the same thing

  4. This game is definitely bugged if you watch the game play out. 3 hits against the Sens.. 6 against the Pens.. 5 against the Oilers..
  5. Save it pretty regularly until you're comfortable with everything. 2007 after all patches and updates were released was pretty great. Pretty realistic. Realistic trades and so forth. Scoring in the game was higher than in real life but real life has millions of more variables affecting that. A game is a game so it won't vary too greatly like we've seen this year with nobody cracking 90 points.
  6. I dunno, whatever I guess Is there a bug? Notice the game sheet said I had 6 hits.. but Hamhuis and Dorsett combined had 6 hits.. Over 20 as a team if you check player stats of that game.
  7. Barbell rows, DB rows, Vbar rows. Pull downs, Chin/pull ups. Any machine, really.
  8. I'll make an appointment for the weekend. did 6 sets of front squats tonight no problem. A little discomfort at the end of the night but that was it..
  9. So there is a guy named Sam Bennett who is only 18 years old. He's pretty good at hockey. Probably the next Gretzky. And he's only 18 years old.

      I thought Mc David was? Did he just graduate high school? Can he drive yet?

  10. Glad to see Rinne is looking human..

  11. Even Calgary Zoo apes are Canucks fans..

  12. Thanks for the tips! Much to consider.
  13. Well that's what I meant by the syntax of pictures that don't appear matches syntax of the pictures that do appear. The only difference is that they are from different downloads years apart. But that shouldn't matter, I don't know how or why it would when the player in the game exists and the file name syntax is correct. Unless I'm having an epic brain cramp two days in a row..? Here's what I mean. B.A. appears; D.A. does not.
  14. Dat moment when you ace your practical exam because you practiced for it.

  15. Alright, tight. Thanks. Ya; it had been years since I did that. Do you have issues with some face images? Archibald & Sanguinetti for example; there's only one photo for each player, I think from an older pack though, not in the newer pack. But their photos do not appear in the game. However, the file name format follows the proper syntax should so the database should be able to read it. But doesn't. Weird; I also have files of players with the exact same name but don't overwrite and cause no apparent conflicts. Two photos of Loui Eriksson, one for Boston, one for Dallas, the Boston photo takes over as the main one.
  16. There's a party in my pants but nobody can get in.

      I for one am thankful for that! LOL

  17. I think it's worse than I originally described because I hadn't really felt it too much until the last couple days here working out. It's lower back, like above my ass. It's general soreness in that small area only. It actually feels a little "stiff" at times (I guess would be the best way to describe it) bending over or putting on shorts or pants, lol. But throughout the day otherwise it feels completely fine. Did leg presses last night. Went through my range of motion and felt some discomfort when I shouldn't have and never have before. Did back tonight. Barbell and V Bar rows; discomfort again making it harder to do what I wanted to do. But as mentioned; doing deadlifts themselves was brutal and un-doable after a while. Would it make any sense going to a doctor? What do you say? My back is sore from weight lifting? Would he or she send you to a chiropractor or just tell you to take a break? I dunno; never done this before
  18. I neglected core for months; at least isolation exercises. it's one of the things I don't enjoy doing a whole lot. I did some isolation the other night though to be honest because I have been meaning to get back at it. Did some of my previous core routine; can't hurt to do more often but I did feel fine.. Yeah, maybe, seems like a waste of energy and time though and better off avoiding altogether then. I don't care what others do either. I do this for myself. I don't even like talking about how much I do (although I am proud because its a lot of work) or anything because nobody really cares, nor do I care what they do, but for the sake of conversation here and knowing what is going on I figured it was worth mentioning . I guess my goal is to stay stronger and relatively fit since if I don't do this I have nothing else going on for activity. I will probably do that. But I hate taking time off like that because I feel like I lose a lot of strength by not even doing it. And then you basically have to spend time getting back something you already had.. I made a post here around Christmas how I took a week off around that time, and then the first day back I went to do deadlifts and had to drop 50lbs because I couldn't do more than a few sets otherwise. . Nailed it the week after though. Turned out to be because I didn't eat as much as I should have. But I think not doing a big exercise like that gives the same affect. Maybe I'm wrong? I could try that. Can't hurt at this point
  19. I think it's just a muscle strain, or whatever. If it was a disk or something else spinal then wouldn't you be in pain/feel discomfort regularly? I guess these are questions more for a doctor though
  20. I like it way more than squats. But it doesn't seem like there's much margin for error. Hopefully it's just a muscle thing. I feel fine throughout the day, bending, etc, using my back in general, except when it came to last dead lift day. That was brutal. Maybe take a month off of from doing it? I dunno.
  21. What the hell do you do for a sore lower back? Literally a couple bad reps or one bad set in several years and I can't even deadlift anymore without significant pain. 465 x 5 x 5 regularly no problem; struggled for 405 x 8 x 2. Got 1 rep third set before calling it quits.
  22. The Weather Channel is so inaccurate. Time to replace them with a different network..

      Hardly rains when they say it will. Didn't last weekend, following into this week a bit. And it didn't Friday, yesterday, or today either.

      As you can tell I enjoy the rain :@

      I've complained about them being way off the mark before :@

  23. I see you have some of the logos too. I guess there's nothing recent for the newer teams, right? I dunno how to make these myself. Like, I have a background logo and logo for the bar across the screen for most NA teams including junior clubs. Except the newer teams like the Mississauga Steelheads or Utica.. .. Using logo packs from 3-4+ years ago.. feels incomplete
  24. Looks good; haven't actually played it yet. Get the roster update and Mega face pack and you're good to go. You can get other skins and stuff but those aren't important to playing.
