Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Homepage, Schedule & Results, League Save File

I can't believe Spezza is getting bad calls against him in real life AND imagination life! Let me tell you.....oh, wait, right, this is a sim summary. And I didn't have a game. Very well.

It was 'Rivals Night' with most of the games this evening.

The Jets are welcomed to the 'Curse of 1st' by losing 2-1 to the Wild, where Calvin Pickard picked the pucks out of the air with ease minus 1.
The Flames decided to win a game, shutting out the Sabres 6-0.
Detroit beat Colorado in OT 5-4 with a game that would do the 90's rivalry proud since, of course, there was an attempt to injure. Detroit's Erik Johnson will be out 2 months, which earns Colorado's James Greenway a 8 game suspension.
A pair of 3-3 ties, with Boston, Florida, NYI and NYR all tying each other. Not at the same time. This isn't WWE Day 1 - and if it were, we'd need a last second 5th team that beat everybody (spoiler: it probably wouldn't be Montreal)
And finally, the Kings defeated the Sharks 3-1, as for the second night in a row LA's Jonathan Bernier put on a stellar goaltending performance. I haven't seen such consistent EHM goaltending before. Please award this man the Vezina.

All of the test sims I did were wins, so of course the actual result is the umpteenth home loss from subpar goaltending.

This, but a tie. Lol.

Greenway makes his mark on the rivalry.
I suppose for Carter Hart, a .667 save percentage on shots by William Eklund is actually pretty good.

As for the Panthers... the good news is they didn't lose to the team directly behind them. The bad news is they blew a three-goal lead.
