That looks old. Is that before or after Blades of Steel?

We were playing Ice Hockey on NES and then Blades of Steel came out and it was revolutionary.

It's Superstar Ice Hockey for the Atari 1040 ST (a short-lived but really good computer IMO) and it came out a year after Blades of Steel (1988).

This is the EA business model. Pull in a ton of cash off 7-8-9 'games' in a generation where only one is a legit new game... the rest are roster updates.

Literally nothing will matter to EA until micro transactions get cracked down on. All EA has to do is release fifa every year and they’ll bring in minimum $1bil. I’m not surprised they don’t try.

Pong! We had one of those too. Just like the Atari 2600...you had to loosen the screws in the back of the TV, insert the clips under the screwhead, tighten down and then simply enjoy what was for the day and age...instant freaking magic. God, seems like my life was so much simpler back then. Of course, it probably was since I was only like 7-10 years old during those years. Think I graduated to a Commodore64 at 10.

Kinda amazing that they did a video game with analog electronics. The control device was a potentiometer (variable resistor).

If you had shown 10yr-me a smartphone my head probably would have exploded.

They have a new version of the Atari VCS. Can't quite justify the cost yet...but I'm gonna get it someday.

I learned today that the Avs apparently have an extremely weak defense outside of Makar. Dammit, I thought it was a strength. Guess we better tank for Bedard.

It seems that our forwards suck, defense sucks and goalies suck. And we're in cap hell now and every season from now on till eternity.

Oh and we have to trade everyone. And Makar leaves soon too.

Revisiting the Erik Karlsson trade a few years later, it gotta be one of the worst trade in recent history.

To SJ: EK and his horrific 11.5M X 8 albatros contract. This contract has significant negative value.

To Sens: Tim Stutzle and Josh Norris

According the HF Dorion is a shitty GM though...

It looked like a terrible trade the second it was made and I was vocal about wanting nothing to do with karlsson. He was about to be overpaid and start declining - Thad not even getting into injuries. They wanted makar + and ppl here were on board.

Ppl like to laugh at the crew that overvalue prospects but they never admit when they overvalue aging has been vets.

Question for you guys... For those of you outside of the Colorado market, how are you planning on watching Avs games?

I've had NHL Live for the past 3 years but now it's not going to be available in Canada and they are forcing everyone to switch over to Sportsnet Now Premium for more $$$ including a bunch of horseshit sports that I don't want. I'm kinda pissed... The NHL Live App was pretty darn good.

I'm curious if I had a good VPN could I get Avs games even here in Canada? Does anyone have that kind of setup?
 
Disney+ gets you ESPN+ for free which gets you pretty much every out of market game, unless it is nationally broadcasted. Is the Disney/ESPN/HULU package not a thing in Canada?
