Puck chops now work using the RB/R1 button on your particular controller, and then using the right analog stick, to direct it every which way but loose.

Faceoffs now don’t favour spammers, with those getting in early with their initial grip, and with good timing and skillz, getting the faceoff, and the momentum.

Bored Hockey Fan Fantasy League – Playoffs Week One

Last week, St. Mucus Ooze and Powers Rangers were eliminated from playoff contention. This week, four more teams joined them on the sidelines, as the first round of playoffs began. Who made it through to the Semi Finals..

FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF MATCHUPS

President’s Trophy, Number One Seed in the playoffs, none of that could help Legs make it past the first round, as the eight seeded FistCity CaPs, thanks to better point scoring and better goaltending, was able to cause the first big upset of the playoffs, winning 6-3-4.

Detroit Goaltender Jimmy Howard’s last day shutout victory, was what tipped the scales in favour of the #4 seed, DarkSideOfTheMoen, as they defeated @GoftheInternet 7-6.

Quebec Nordiques lived up to their #3 seed, decimating sixth seeded, GreatNessPerSonified by a score of 10-1-2, to advance to the semi finals.

Superior goaltending was what helped the second seed, It’s The Flying V! eliminate Hamilton Tigers 8-1-4, leaving them as the highest seed left in the tournament.

PLAYOFF SEMI FINAL MATCHUPS:

4- DarkSideOfTheMoen vs. 8-FistCity CaPs

2- It’s The Flying V! vs. 3- Quebec Nordiques

Who will make it through to the Fantasy Playoff Finals, and compete for the Fantasy Stanley Cup? Tune in next week, to find out.
