What an amazing day of fights! I love waking up early watching fights and still having my day left to do whatever i want!

Fair enough, that's a reasonable opinion.

But I would just like to see Chad Mendes fight again at some point soon...

The thing about Chad Mendes that sucks is that in my opinion at least he is clearly the number 2 guy at feather weight, if you feed him like Ricardo Lamas or Chan Sung Jung he will most likely beat them and then you lose someone who can fight Jose Aldo which is needed and i don't really think anyone wants to see Chad Mendes vs Jose Aldo 2 anytime soon after Aldo made him look ridiculous the first time

How did he look ridiculous? I mean Jose would have won the first round had it not been for that knee. But it wasn't a one-sided round... But that knee was a thing of beauty.

Chad Mendes was billed as this great wrestler (which he is don't get me wrong) but then Jose Aldo made him look like he had never wrestled before if my memory is correct, i remember just getting shut down on every attempt easily

Fair enough, that's a reasonable opinion.

Then Cub is not a top 145er in that scenario

I also didn't get the memo where winning fights by decision was a bad thing, so thanks for letting me know (Y)

When did i say it was a bad thing?

Your use of wording was very telling:

"Cause Chad Mendes would decision the crap out of Cub Swanson"

The use of the word "decision" there over the use of the word "beat" for instance shows that you feel that Mendes only wins by decision (Fair point of view, the guy does have a lot of decision victories), but the use over another term shows that you feel that the decision is the overriding factor in why the fight should not happen. Whenever I have come across instances of people making that kind of claim in the context of MMA, it has always been as a negative, you do not get a lot of people who get excited about decisions, a lot of people do not like them and call for finishes, which to a point is fair enough, I love finishes, submissions and knock outs can be very exciting. But the way you phrased it tells me that you do not like decisions and that a decision is a negative thing and at this stage it is a valid reason not to book a fight, which is absolutely wrong, decisions can be very very exciting. Griffin vs Bonnar went to decision, Couture vs Ortiz went to decision, GSP and Frankie have had exciting decision wins, the Flyweight title fight at the weekend and the two bantamweight title defences that Dominick Cruz has had in the UFC have gone to decisions and all of them were exciting and very good fights. It just bugs me when so called "fans" complain about fighters going to decisions and thus this MUST be a negative. Go back and watch some of Chad Mendes' decision wins, they are freaking exciting, and thats what I want to see, exciting fights, no matter how they end.

tl;dr Its not what you said, but the way you said it.

Yeah im not reading all that

All i know is im a betting man and id bet that Chad Mendes doesn't finish that fight if it happens again and Cub Swanson doesn't have the takedown defense to stop Chad Mendes, So in my opinion Mendes beats Swanson by decision 30-27, small chance Swanson can rock Mendes with a knee or something and maybe steal a round but i doubt it

Then Cub is not a top 145er in that scenario

When did i say it was a bad thing?

Why would Buffalo move Miller?

Fair enough Ill stop then

Drock, knock it off with the stupid trades or I'm kicking you out. We're getting like 25 goals a game here, I want to maintain some semblance of realism with the rosters

What stupid trade? Johnathan Quick for Ryan Miller?

Why not give Chad Mendes vs Cub a chance, a good Striker vs grappler fight and will truly show is Cub is a top end 145er?

Cause Chad Mendes would decision the crap out of Cub Swanson

What do you want for him?

Also....Dan! When can you play?

A goalie who doesn't suck

Trying to trade Johnathan Quick, he is just being awful all season its brutal

Well i just need to play my game against Dan and im good, seeings how he is 0-4-2 im sure Johnathan Quick will shit the bed and let in 7 goals on 25 shots like my last game

So Dan when can we play? I'm good to go all day tomorrow pretty much

Jesus Johnathan Quick sucks, he just got a 7.92 save percentage against the Coyotes

I have two human games this week. One against Dan and one against Srar.

When do you guys wanna play?

First line C, starting goalie...(although my 4th line is kinda shit now)...lets see how this goes!

Also! Connolly and Lombardi are up for grabs. Looking for similar rated D (both 82)

How do you see there exact rating, i just get a stupid little star thing

Hey AD im pretty busy at work right now working 12 hour days but i think ill be able to play tomorrow night, but if that doesn't feel free to sim that game cause im busy all day Saturday with work and UFC 152 also im only posing this in here cause i can't find an AD on the member list so i figured id contact him this way

In more positive news, Edmonton wins a game!

Me and Drock played the first of our two matches, the first was a home game for me and then we're due a return in L.A. The loading screen said that the Kings had a crazy record like 25 goals and 5 conceded or something so I was a little worried going into the game but I ended up winning 6-2! Ryan Nugent-Hopkins got like 5 goals!

Looking forward to the rematch, whenever we do that.

I thought it was gonna be close then every time Nuge touched the puck he put it away Quick shit the bed that game for sure!

I can be on right now guys if anyone wants to play?

What's his rating?

I wanna say Tin Thomas is an 88 and Rask is an 85

Hey AD you gonna be available at all tomorrow?

Franson and Reimer both bums!

And I like to think I am ok, despite my inability to score.

Fuck Jonathan Quick was a total bum for me in my first game, 3 goals scored on him and an 8.33 save percentage is was sad

Well played my first game against the Flames playing the CPU, won 12-3 and Gagne got 5 points

Good 1st period betwen me at Apsham.

And Drock, I have no idea what you are askinh

Well AD is suppose to be the Rangers but he isn't on so do i have no wait for him or can i just play the game against the Rangers and just play against the CPU? And would that be a dick move not giving AD a chance to win that game assuming i do win?

Am i a dick if i play against the CPU and not give AD a chance or how is that generally viewed?

And how do i do it just go to enable CPU and sim games vs my team?

So do i have to wait for Ad to play my first game against the Rangers? Or can i just play against the CPU?

That's great and all, but would you mind explaining what the christ was up with all those trades?

Just trying to switch it up a bit, figured its just for fun anyways so i may as well bounce around some guys
