Nice! You could also try swapping one of your normal guys for a fatty... knock the other team around some, prevent steals. I use 2 or 3 fatties, haven't decided which I like better.

The other day when I played and beat Canada by 6 and didn't get the picture, I won using all skinny guys

I tried that again tonight and didn't have any luck, so I went with the default lineup. That seemed to work well for me.

All skinnies! Wow, that's pure skill right there, bimmy. I thought they were only good for face offs, I can't shoot worth dingleberries with those pencilnecks

wow just got my ass handed to me 11-0....i had plenty of chances. Just could not put any in. Their goalie is too freaking quick. I had a clear shot and the goalie was completely on the other side of the net, but somehow he just appeared right in front of me to block it.

I just creamed my home team by 30 goals!!!
Look at the Poland team cheering, right in the face of the humiliated Canadian team, that quits the ice with shame.

I scored more goals than them

Seriously, scoring is not a problem once you "get it". There's definitely a "trick" to score in Ice Hockey, like in almost every damn Hockey video game.

EDIT: Thanks Bimmy!

Just a note to everyone, I will post the results and update the leaderboard after Lost ends tonight at 11:30. I don't want to miss a moment of the finale.

There's the jaw-dropper I was looking for! Holy cow, guill - you gave me a mild panic attack with that one! Really awesome score, guill! Well done!!
I took a nap this afternoon, had dinner, then checked here to see if there was any new scores and saw that. I looked at my watch and I barely had an hour to try again. I managed to beat it by a couple but I won't have another chance at it if you've got more surprises up your sleeve. *fingers crossed*

Darnit, I wish I'd gotten up from my nap earlier, would've been fun to go back and forth with you before the deadline. To be honest, I didn't think I could break 30 before seeing your score, you really pushed me to do what I didn't believe I could. Thanks, man!
Gotta go watch Lost now... see y'all at 11:30

Thanks, man! Guill scared the crap outta me with his crazy score, I'm just happy I was able to pull it together quickly enough to just barely edge him out..

Wow. You guys are amazing!

I'm really impressed. I'm just glad I pulled in a positive score before running out of time. A great first contest for me, thanks!

SCORE UPDATE

quest4nes - -6
Lincoln - -13

These two should have gotten participation points for the Ice Hockey contest. I was under the impression we had to win the game to get the participation points, but guillavoie clarified the rules for me, and all we had to do was finish the game, regardless if we won or lost. I apologize to Lincoln and quest4nes for not ready the rules correctly and not giving you guys your participation points when you should have gotten them. Sorry for the error.

No big deal here, and to be honest, it was not perfectly clear in the rules to start with.
