GOTN: HAWKS V.S. Flames

 


Welcome to the newly branded SPSN,
Tonight’s GOTN consist of two western conference teams finding their place early in this SPNHL season. Both teams host some of the top scorers in the league alongside some elite Defense, let’s take a closer look at these soon to be rivals.
 
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS:
OFFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
ACK-stonerboy :18gp 28g 57pts
Fishhure :17gp 22g 56pts
Blackhawks are well aware they have the talent up front to get the job done, 113 pts between two of their players is just the beginning of what may be nightmares for opposing defenses to come. It’s going to be a long 60 minutes for Calgary’s defense tonight, get the popcorn ready.
 
DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
FIVESTARCOOCK : 2g 16a 18pts
Fivestar is no stranger to the limelight, he’s racked up 18pts already this season, as his presence alongside Fishhure and ACK seem to be quite the conglomerate not only regular strength but the pp too. Let’s see if he can keep up the pace and shut the flames core down.
 
BETWEEN THE PIPES:
GAMERGOD95 : 736.8 sv% 3.44Gaa
Gamergod is riding 11 wins, he’s in the zone and he has the defense to backstop in front of him, it’s the perfect storm right now behind the blue line in Chi Town. Gamergods experience between the pipes is veteran status as he looks to take Chicago deep into the season.
 
 
CALGARY FLAMES:
OFFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
REDFLAG33 :11gp 22g 44pts
TRUELEGEND07 :15gp 19g 40pts
Calgary has some scoring power of their own, Redflag and Truelegend have been giving teams bad dreams for a week, both reach the 40pt plateau early in the season. The dynamic duo looks to get on the scoring chart early, are they able to do it? guess we’ll see tonight but my consensus says they can.
 
DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
NOWELBABY : 6gp 1g 6 7pts
SPORTSGEEK : 5gp 3g 6a 9pts
Calgary’s defense holds Nowel and Sports, interestingly enough Nowel is a stud forward who has decided to take the defensive route and it holding the fort alongside sportsgeek. These two better double tape those shinnies because it’s going to be a long night trying to keep up to Chicago’s offense tonight. Look for these two to play a box out strategy in the neutral zone to try and eliminate the Hawks quick transitional entry.
 
BETWEEN THE PIPES:
PNCPARK :2k1 742 sv% 2.83 gaa
PNC has shared some of the load with Sport, but his time between the pipes sees him with 4 wins and a 2.83 gaa. He has been consistent but tonight will be quite the test for him as he’s going against a couple top ten rope rippers, his flashy style may come in handy tonight as some highlight saves may need to be in order tonight.
 
WORDS OF WISDOM:
These two still have a lot to prove and tonight just may be the first of many battles, as it is written Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories. Good luck to both teams tonight.
Be sure to see it all tonight at 9est, on SPSN.

Condensed game tutorial.

Hey guys a few people have asked how to do it so i will give you a quick break down and help you guy get the hang of condensed game creations that can be found here https://thespnhl.com/game-highlights-condensed-games/
Keep in mind that this process will work while streaming but it is not required.
-on the controller to the left of the touch pad is the Share button.
-If you double tap it quickly the PS4 will begin recording the next 15 mins.
-If you double tap a second time it will stop and save the clip to your hard drive.
-i recommend doing this for each period so you have three separate clips to work with.
once the game finishes and you have your saved clips proceed to open/download share factory which can be downloaded from the playstation store (its free).
-turn the app on and select new project. follow the instructions it gives you.
-it will ask you to select all the clips you wish to edit that are on your hard drive. select all portions of the game you are editing.
-experiment with the tools on the program to edit and condense the game.
-all you really need is to hit Square to give you the tools option.
-use the split clip option, this will allow you to split the clip into two clips. one clip is the dead film to be removed and the other is the play you want to highlight. you can delete the bad clip by pressing square. make sure the portion you are deleting is not attached to anything you wish to keep. if you delete it you can always use one of the tools to restore the entire clip to start over again.
once the clip is done, hit Circle to back out of the tool menu. hit menu button on the controller (start button) this will allow you to save it.
once saved click triangle to share it and it will begin to finalize the video. once this process finishes you will be asked to select your preferred website to upload to. select it and it will begin uploading to that site. Log onto that site and find your video copy and paste the link and send it to SA_Pliskin to embed onto the site. Good luck!

Western Conference Breakdown

Written by – Anon.
Anaheim Ducks:
Reaper and Kidmoney are one of SP’s long-time duos, and have a Cup to their name. However that championship is becoming a long distant memory, as since their Cup win, Reaper’s teams have more often than not floated around in pretender territory, having yet to even return to the finals since. This season I fear may not be much different. VeZzZy is arguably the best goaltender in the league, but I’m not sold on their D. DougCBJ and M1keal are known to be very aggressive defenseman, but in a Dustin Byfuglien kind of way rather than a Shea Weber kind of way. If they can’t help themselves from taking themselves out of position looking for hits, Vezzzy is gonna have a lot on his plate, and incredible as he is, he’s not impregnable. Snach and Kronwall as their #3 and #4 are completely uninspiring and won’t have much success cleaning up any mess left by Doug and M1k. However offensively, this team should be fairly strong, as Kid and Reap’s teams always are. Their third wheel this season will likely alternate between prodigytolegend (formerly known as No-Limit) and Loyalty_Caper. Skilled players, though they have their warts. They success of this team hinges on M1k and Doug playing less reckless defense. If they can get that under control, Anaheim will do some damage. If they can’t, well, they’ll still be doing damage, but it’ll be to themselves.
Offense: B/B+
Defense: B-
Goaltending: A
Calgary Flames:
Sportsgeek5 held on to the trusty, former Cup-winning duo of TrueLegend07 and redflag33 going into this season, but beyond those 2 re-signs, it doesn’t look like he made a ton of other notably good decisions. He took AAli-21 with his 1st round pick, who had an impressive although limited showing at D his last time out, but has moved to RW this season, and I’m not sure if he has the chops to meaningfully contribute to that top line. I don’t suspect he’ll be moving back to D as Calgary has a bevy of solid d-men at their disposal in ttommyboiii, PNCpark2k1 and most notably Dangles4days. I expect PNC and Dangles to be their top pair as tommy’s availability isn’t everything it could be this season. Though solid as they are, I’m not convinced either of them are guys you can build a D-core around. I think Dangles is fantastic though and very underrated and I would not be surprised if he made me eat copious amounts of crow on that last sentence. The crease will apparently be shared between sportsgeek himself (who is also a respectable d-man) and chicks-n-whips. Admittedly a goaltending tandem I don’t have an enormous amount of faith in. sportsgeek can be great, but he’s also very inconsistent, and chicks-n-whips hasn’t been particularly reliable up to now throughout his SP career. Dangles is gonna have to play Norris-caliber defense, or one of these goalies will need to have an epic coming-out party if this team is gonna keep their GA down to manageable levels. Beyond the established vets, I’m not seeing a ton of promise in the rookies, at least the ones I know of. Frody16 and xx_cinema_xx are decent but not enough to effectively augment Red and True, and I’ve heard rather unflattering things about Full_melt707. All in all, I think Calgary may struggle this season. True and red are excellent, but they can only do so much.
Offense: B
Defense: B
Goaltending: C/C+
Chicago Blackhawks:
FivepointOHHH returns as GM, though Fivestarcoock is the architect behind this team. Arguably the strongest team in the West, and one of the strongest in the league. Their starting 5 skaters are as good as any in the league, likely running Fishhure-ACK-stonerboy-Hartysauce up front with studword and Fivetstar himself at D. The only question mark is in net. Gamergod is a respectable goalie, but certainly not on par with the aforementioned 5 skaters, and though I know xTreeOfLife is quite highly touted in Chicago, his availability may keep him from emerging as this team’s starter. But regardless, with a starting 5 that strong, this team only needs average goaltending to dismantle their opposition, and Gamergod is more than capable of providing that.
Offense: A
Defense: B/B+
Goaltending: B-/B
Colorado Avalanche:
Eggman, Etthan and Ivan, the eternal menage a trois, return to Colorado this season with an interesting team absolutely brimming with potential. 5//11 players here are rookies, and I expect at least two of them to make a name for themselves, with one being an early Calder favourite. olPope and j_marz I would expect to be very important to this team, and I’m sure Egg is counting on j_marz to help catalyze their offense. Eggman will be anchoring the defense as per usual, but unless mikethenef or Fuzzy_Blues are a better D-man than he is, the Avs will be fairly middling in that respect. They do have Jhonny_Phonny backstopping them, a fantastic goalie in his own right who’ll surely be stealing a couple wins, but the defense in front of him may not be enough to help mitigate any off-nights he may have. Egg has been a very competent GM throughout his entire tenure in SP and almost never fails to ice a competitive team and this season will likely be no different. But to that same end, he has never won himself a cup as a GM either. His teams always look great on paper, but never deliver the goods. We’ll see if he can end the drought with this latest edition of the Avalanche.
Offense: B/B+
Defense: B-/B
Goaltending: B+
Dallas Stars:
Right off the bat Avng made a splash at the draft in trading the 3rd overall pick plus some later picks in exchange for reigning Vezina winning Holdfast308, thereby solidifying his goaltending. Or… so he thinks. This may be an unpopular opinion, but, suffice to say, but I think Holdfast quite notably overachieved last season (thanks in part to an extremely strong Florida Panthers, now NYR, team) and I don’t expect he has another Vezina-caliber season in him. There were better options available, especially considering the draft position and I think Avng would have been better off going for one of them (VeZzZy, aka Jatty, or Jhonny_Phonny to name two) and keeping the extra picks. Beyond that, Avng has assembled a nice collection of players, but no real game-breakers in my opinion. I don’t see a true #1 forward or a true #1 defenseman; I see a bunch of, albeit skilled, ultimately complementary players. To put it another way: there’s no one on Dallas I wouldn’t like to have on my team, but also no one I’d want to build my team around. This team has talent and lots of depth, but not the pieces to put them over the top. Don’t sleep on them, but don’t lose sleep over them either.
Offense: B
Defense: B-
Goaltending: B-/B
Los Angeles Kings:
LA is going to be very interesting to watch as they have a lot of question marks, but the potential is quite clearly there. YourMudder was one of the top goalies in SP last season, though in only 25 games. GM MrLOLChico and Sanke_-_Plisskin will comprise their top D-pair. Chico is an inconsistent d-man and Plisskin may end up having to do most of the heavy lifting here, but I feel he should be up to it. On offense, they have a number of skilled pieces. Their most notable name is u_1_2_b_me, who plays every forward position and plays them all well. Alongside him will be mclub326 (taken 12th overall, a very productive player in LG) and then a revolving door of Slivers311, Triggatrey and RickRage. Triggatrey made a name for himself on last season’s Florida Panthers playing D alongside Dangles4Days (and later Cuban1616). He didn’t put up great numbers on D, so it’ll be interesting to see how the offense translates to his new post at RW. RickRage has decent career numbers in SP but nothing to write home about. This team might be best served moving Trey back to D and playing him with Snake, thereby relegating Chico to the secondary duties. The name to watch here may be Slivers311, who is unknown in leagues as far as I know, but if I’m not mistaken is one of the top EASHL players in the world. Taken in the 3rd round, he may be LA’s secret weapon, so to speak. If Mclub and Slivers can be the players I believe they can be, the rest of the league may have their hands full lining up against them. There’s a lot of potential here. If they can develop chemistry, the Kings…. I was about to say “may get their crown” but I would never say something that stupid. They’ll be good, is the point.
Offense: B/B+
Defense: B-/B
Goaltending: B
St. Louis Blues
El_Rookie is staying in St. Louis for a second season in a row, and for a second season in a row he’ll probably be finding himself in last place come season’s end. The only players I find notable here are Al_Bundy, Redconcept (who was taken 1st overall), dsmitty and VinceT13. Though regarding Vince, I only know him as a (quite talented) forward, but he’s signed on to play RD here, and I can’t speak to his defensive capabilities. In any case, as good a goalie as Redconcept is (and he is very, very good, make no mistake), i think El made a significant misstep taking him 1st overall. This team has holes everywhere, except in net, which is a position Al_Bundy has played and done so with great success. In my opinion, he should’ve kept Bundy in net and taken pretty much anyone else with that pick. In fairness though, Bundy and dsmitty have played together a long time (real life friends as well if I’m not mistaken) and have excellent chemistry, so these 2 could take their opposition by surprise if they get complacent. Overall though, this team is basically just unremarkable depth pieces from top to bottom outside of a small handful of players – an issue compounded by strangely and needlessly having 15 players on the team when the minimum roster size in 10. Perhaps El is hoping for some kind of offense/defense-by-committee thing to unfold here, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Here’s to making a better 1st overall pick next draft.
Offense: C-
Defense: D
Goaltending: B+
Vegas Golden Knights:
Sergein and SA_Pliskin (otherwise known as our supreme overlord) are another one of SP’s iconic duos, but for as long as they’ve been together, they have nothing to show for it. This team looks similar to Dallas in that they have a lot of nice pieces but none to put them over the top, but with the important distinction that those pieces aren’t even as nice. This almost exact same offense struggled against a questionable San Jose (now Pittsburgh) team in the playoffs last season and, despite winning, went on to get crushed in the following round. The D is improved, likely running Way2Goal and OG_KJ as their top pairing, but I don’t think they’ll be enough to lift Vegas out of bubble territory. The one saving grace of this team could be if Pliskin moves back in net, as, in my opinion, he was unquestionably the best goalie in the SPNHL in his prime. If not, starting duties may fall squarely too XCapemysch–long, who has a nice stat-line in LG. Might not be enough to keep this team competitive, though. So unless they’re hiding a diamond among their rookie crop, I anticipate Vegas’ inaugural SP season will be about as productive as their real-life counterparts’.
Offense: B-
Defense: B
Goaltending: ? / total wild card at this point
———-
All in all, I think the west in Chicago’s to lose. But the order of the remaining 7 spots is anyone’s guess (unless they guess STL to finish anywhere but last, then they’ve guessed wrong). My guess is as follows:
1. Chicago Blackhawks
2. Colorado Avalanche
3. Anaheim Ducks
4. Los Angeles Kings
5. Dallas Stars
6. Calgary Flames
7. Vegas Golden Knights
8. St. Louis Blues

Eastern Conference Breakdown.

SPNHL East write up
What’s up everyone, ttommyboiii here and I’m going to give you a pre-season Eastern Conference overview and projected standings. For those who don’t know me, this will be my 4th season in sp, for the past 2 season I ran teams in Los Angeles and Toronto. We finished in the cup final when I was in my rookie campaign as an owner with the Kings and a nice 2nd last finish last season with the Leafs. This will be my first write up for SP and would love some feedback on how I did, both positive and negative. So here goes nothing…….
Toronto Maple Leafs 4rd in the Adams (6th in the east)
Notable draft picks: jaime14benn14 4th overall, Benner77 2nd round 10th pick
Best 6:
LW Tyler91seguin91
C Benner77
RW jaime14benn14
LD SliyumShady/Booseybad
RD SullivanI93I
G lxl-C-lxl/Troublekid1999
Lxl aka Mansel moves from Buffalo to the 6ix and right away made a big move and acquired elite winger Tyler91seguin91. Seguin looks set to lead this Leafs forward core and put up another stellar season. With the 4th pick in the draft Mansel takes jaime14benn14 who has a lot of chemistry with Tyler and also a very good winger. Playing centre in-between them will likely be Benner77 who he took in the 2nd round of the draft. On the back end, they look a tad thin with only 3 listed defencemen on the roster but, they do have Sullivan who is known as a good defenceman. Playing next to him will be Shady or Boosey, I don’t know much on Boosey but, after playing several games with Shady, he proved that he is a more than capable defenceman, question is will his skills transfer to league play. In net, they have plenty of depth and have many options with Mansel, Trouble and joeja. Mansel also made a move before the start of the season in trading Tanger for former SPNHL GM Appler.
Pittsburgh Penguins: 3rd in the Adams (4th in the east)
Notable draft picks: SmashNgrab21 2nd overall LD, BiPolarBear1387 13th overall G,
Best 6:
LW Cookie_man_412
C H-_A-_L-_A-_K
RW kinglyme89
LD smashNgrab21
RD captain21canada
G BiPolorBear1387
BrownsvilleSolja leads this interesting looking Pittsburgh Penguins team into season 26 looking for back to back Stanley cups. HAHA jokes, but yet again this season, without the puck even dropping for opening night he has guaranteed his team a Stanley cup. Offensively they have a weapon in Kinglyme89, with Cookie man and Halak who look to round off their top line. Defensively they’re looking solid with 2nd overall pick Smash leading the way with Cap Canada most likely being on that top pair. The man the myth the legend himself Soni and Bipolar will be sharing the net, not entirely sure whether who will be the starter but only time will tell.
 
New York Islanders: 2nd in the Adams (2nd in the east)
Notable draft picks: Ev0xgsr327 15TH overall, Bruiser4life2, 3rd round 15th pick
Best 6:
LW seedoftavares
C CantTreadOnMe_
RW Ev0xgsr327
LD Ajax32123
RD Breezy5457
G Bruiser4life2
After losing in the final 4 last season, Seed decided to move his team to Brooklyn and take over the Islanders. Pre-draft, Seed made a trade in acquiring CantTread from Anaheim who looks poised to be the teams #1 centre after having a fantastic rookie season. On his wings, will likely be Seed or Voltage on his left and on the right his 1st round pick Ev0 or Crevette. Offensively, they look very good but defensively they look absolutely stacked. Last season, Seed moved his buddy Fish for arguably the best defenceman in the league in Breezy and partnered him up with Ajax who is also very solid. This D pair is going to frustrate a lot of teams this season and don’t be surprised if one of these guys walk away with Norris. In net, they have Bruiser who looks to be the starter, who should have a great season, especially with this D pair in front of him.
New Jersey Devils: 1st in the Adams (1st in the east)
Notable draft picks: Rancher12345 3rd round 6th pick, Chieftrout 4th round pick 10
Best 6:
LW cornect57
C Burst-NightOwl
RW Linde94
LD Cuban1616
RD Iachoku
G Rancher12345
Cuban1616 returns as a gm and immediately they make the biggest move I think of the pre-season in acquiring former SPNHL Gm Burst. He did cost them a 1st and 2nd rounder but, it is 2 picks well spent because this guy is probably one of the most talented forwards in the league. On his wings will probably be Linde and cornect, who having seen both of them play look to form one of the best forward lines in the league. On D, majority of the games will consist of the duo of Cuban and Iachoku (what a surprise), these 2 also make one of the best d pairs in the league. In between the pipes, it will be their 3rd round pick Rancher who has a career 21-6 record in Sp and can most likely keep at this pace with the team in front of him. Depth wise, they have CheifTrout, who is very capable of playing both RW and RD who can certainly and can help out with this talented squad.
Boston Bruins: 4th in the Patrick (8th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Nowelbaby 9th overall, Grippinq 2nd round 8th pick
Best 6:
LW PistolPete7788
C steelersfan26
RW Grippinq/Quinzee
LD Nowelbaby
RD turdburgler169
G JMLPatriots
Pistol Pete returns as a GM from last season after he took control of Pittsburgh after the first week. This time around he got the privilege to pick his own team and did well selecting forwards like Grippinq and Quinzee who are coming off amazing rookie seasons. On the backend, Nowel looks set to lead this group with either Tar-pit or turdburgler on his right, in net, Pete resigned JMLPatriots who I’ve heard is a pretty decent goalie. Although Pete does have some nice talent to play with him, I think this team has a few holes such as Centre depth and on Right defence. Steelers is the only C on the roster BUT, he is only 3 a week, the question is who will he play there, the other 4-6 games, Grippinq? Quinzee? Also after Tar pit was placed on IR his only option at RD is turdburgler who has a grand total of 0 games played as a D in SP. Will Pete end up making a move to help out these holes during the first week, possibly.
Montreal Canadiens: 3rd in the Patrick (7th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Xtailsy 11th overall, Dafoumanchew 2nd round 15th overall
Best 6:
LW Xtailsy
C Killerpatou007
RW Clutchability
LD Irish_Pittbull69
RD jielking
G Dafoumanchew
Irish and the Montreal Canadiens also made a huge move and acquired a star in Clutchability, it did unfortunately cost him a 1st and 3rd rounder but this gives Irish another superstar to play with. Playing with Clutch looks to be Xtailsy on the left, who had a great rookie season and Killerpatou007 in the middle who is the only listed C but, both Irish and jielking can play C if needed. On the backend, it looks to be Irish and jielking but, Clutch and deadrising can play RD so Irish has some options on who is playing where. Surprisingly Irish doesn’t have a goalie on the roster but he does have Dafoumanchew (qc poutine) who is coming off a Stanley cup winning season and is a solid goaltender.
Ottawa Senators: 2nd in the Patrick (5th in the east)
Notable draft picks: Dynasty1989 7th overall, That-One_Shot-22- 5th round 4th pick
Best 6:
LW RandyMarsh2012
C Diirty_Triix_13
RW That-One_Shot-22-
LD Dynasty1989
RD Freefaii
G SgtVandoos
Long time SPNHL veteran Diirty Triix returns as an owner and moves his team to the nation’s Capital Ottawa. Playing on the wings with Triix will most likely be RandyMarsh and possibly the steal of the draft in One shot. This combo definitely has the capacity to put up lots of goals and will be a force to be reckon with. On defence it will likely be Dynasty, who is a good offensive defenceman and Freefaii who is also a very good defenceman. SgtVandoos will be the starter who can be an outstanding goalie but, does have some ugly moments. Triix is in a tough spot with 2 guys quitting on him before the start of the season but, he is a veteran and I’m sure he will find a way to make it work.
New York Rangers: 1st in the Patrick (3rd in the east)
Notable draft picks: Stiivii-66 3rd overall, mjvoell44 2nd round 4th pick
Best 6:
LW mjvoell44
C Ransom613
RW Mg2452
LD Mxster-77
RD Stiivii-66
G Mooner2014
The former Jack Adams winner Kozmo relocates north to New York and looks to go on a deeper playoff run this season. On the front, mjvoell rejoins former Calder winner Ransom, both these guys had outstanding rookie seasons and will likely have great sophomore seasons. Joining these 2 will be MG who is also a talented winger, these 3 look to be one of the best forward lines in the entire league and will be a nightmare for teams to try and stop. On the back end they have 2nd year rookie, Mxster on the left and Stiivii on the right side. Never played or seen these guys play but I’ve heard nothing but good things about Mxster and I’m going to assume Stiivii is very talented after being picked 3rd overall. Last season Kozmo picked Ransom 3rd overall and he ended up winning the Calder, I say there’s a good chance Stiivii is up there for the Calder vote. In net they have the duo of Mooner and Sazer who are both good goalies and can split time without any worries.

League wide Caution!!!!

Season starts monday and with it a strong word of caution to everyone.  Glitches and bugs are a plague in NHL 18.  Among them is the goal stealing bug.  What this is, is a glitch that will remove goals from a random team at a random point in the game.  This can and will likely lead to a conflict between teams who will probably have different recollections of the games score.    I will not make a decision to reverse or correct a games score without video evidence of the lost goal.  Please record or have one person record for each game.  protect yourself.
