Stars Come to Terms with Tocchet

A young Rick Tocchet


The 6'0 211 ponund 39 year old Canada native Rick Tocchet signed with Dallas Monday before the Buffalo game. He can provide some much needed "umph" to the foward core of the STars. in other Stars news D man Sergei Zubov is out for 2-4 weeks.

Turco making a spectacular save

In Buffalo on Monday night the fans wanted their money back after a 0-0 overtime tie. It was a bretty boring game minus the fact that Marty Biron and Marty Turco had 31 and 32 saves respectably. "Next time we play, even if we lose, I at least hope someone scores." is what newcomer Rick Tocchet said after the game.

Are you going to make a post after every game? And put a huge pic in with it?

[Warden]

I like it.

Too bad I got no time to do the same with my franchise.

Yes I will try to make a post after everygame and I am trying to find small pics but that was the best one i could find of Modano.

Thanks, Ya it does take some time to pull this off.

Tverdosky as a Devil

Dman Oleg Tverdosky got a new home in Dallas last night. He is 6'1, 200lbs, and 27 years old. " We think this kid has some potential and I am very happy with this signing." said GM-Coach MooseMan after the public announcment.

Bruins Shutout Stars

Raycroft in goal

"2-0!2-0! Thats the third time in 4 games that we have been shut out! This is pathetic!" That is what a sound clip from the GM-Coach MooseMan's speech in the locker room sounded like (explicitives removed). Young budding goale Andrew Raycroft shut the stars out wednesday night and things aren't going to good for the stars right now at 1-2 and a tie.

"Man! I can't score anything on this game and I'm only playing on Pro!" Is what Moose said to reporters during the post game interview. Ollie the Goalie was superb and Washington's goal support helped him along the way.

Guerin disgusted after his shot


"PING" That is the sound of defeat. In the closing minutes Billy Guerin rang on off the post. "I had my shot. Roloson overcommited and the top right corner was mine but I banged it off the post." Was Guerin's disgusted post game comment. The Stars look to finally win one next against the Leafs.

The Eagle taking the net

2 former Stanley Cup winning Stars(Joe Newin****(sp?) and Eddie Belfour) helped the Leafs shut out the Stars 2-0. Eddie Belfour didn't face many challenging shots and the ones that he did rattled off the post. " I think its time for me to mess with some sliders" Coach-GM MooseMan said after the game.

Dear Readers,

this is pretty much a practice franchise for me. I was tryin to get my report style down (which i did) and i am tryin to get the game controls down which i almost have so when ever i start to play on all star i am gonna start over with a different team, i am not sure which one yet :?: So be lookin for that to start soon :D


EDIT: typo :roll:

[GoYanks016]

You sent that to the readres, but what about the readers?

You know what you're doing with the way you post.

[NYR29]

I like this. This is want I'd do if I had the time, great effort and reporting. More more I like it I say use 100 pages this is neat stuff. Good job!

[GoYanks016]

82x5=410
16x5=80+1=81
410+81=491
491+44=535
535/15=35.6

That's 36 pages, 9 posts on the 36th page. (If I'd been posting after every game.

82 is number of games in season
5 is number of seasons played
16 is number of playoff games i play each year
1 is the extra game where I lost a playoff game once
44 is games i played this season.
[535 is games played total in my franchise]
15 is posts per page.
.6=6/10 6/10=3/5 3/5=9/15

Yeah, 35 pages so far for me. (posted this if anyone is wondering how long it would take to get to 100 pages.)

about 16-17 seasons

[Leafs4Ever]

i just finished reading al of what you ave for your franchise it is decent. there is one thing that i suggest is not put in anymore. the larger pic. i think that you were wondering about the spelling of ...... Nieuwendyk anyways there you go thats how it is spelled if you have any other spelling question let me know i would be glad to assist.

[Leafs4Ever]

i really do not think that you have the right idea when your saying in the "interviews after the game what your going to do next to make the game less difficult

[dynamo82]

What a crappy record. Fire the entire coaching staffs and the GM. :evil: Especially the coach. Trade away all your vet and hope you get good picks in return, sucka 8)

[GoYanks016]

dynamo, you need to calm down, every post you make is basically flaming someone.
