So there have been some roster modifications today... namely removal of players that have played less than ten games in the one and a half or so months the game has been out. If you are a new player to the team we took that into account as was the case with P DUPUIS etc. If you have been playing regularly with the "regulars" you shouldn't have been "modified." If you have been removed and feel as if you have been wronged or insulted by this grievous offense, grow up and drop the gamertag in the comments and you shall be reinstated.
This is not a open team for anyone to join. This is a team for followers of the website thepensblog.com. If you are looking for a team to join there are plenty of teams around. If you are a pensblog follower for more than the past week drop your gamertag in the comments as well. Leave the gamertag and we'll message you.

Random Stuff
Team Pensblog has had a pretty rough past week or so. On Saturday or Sunday, due to about a 9 or 10 game losing streak, the team was in Division 9. Let me repeat that for you, Division 9.
Now the team has rebounded somewhat due to hard work by syniper, ZeroRandomNumbers, Zulu, ScottRandomNumbers, zarley zalapski(formerly assklown 666, 063), Free Candyman, LostDefender, DarkJustice, the prodigal son Meats A Hoo, and Yan.
Keep up the winning because for those of you who allowed that losing streak to take place, shame on you. Play some practice mode because you can't bring that weak ass stuff into this humby bumpy!

Aw Hell Naw!
Some research done by syniper (duff) on the seemingly random ranking system:
Ranking Rumors:
--------------------------------
you need about 4 wins for each loss to move up
on average wins = 20 points, on average losses = -70 points
---------------------------------
The more people playing in a game has an effect on the points earned/loss
---------------------------------
The grades of each player playing in a game has an effect on the points earned/loss
---------------------------------
A shut out has an effect on the points earned/loss
---------------------------------
So just in case this is right (which it very well could be since our computer players always suck) apply all your points including goalie points just in case.
---------------------------------
Team Pensblog AAA official marketing slogan has been announced. They have decided upon an eloquent phrase that really captures the nuances of the sport of hockey. The new slogan is: "Aw Hell Naw!"
It figures to be popular with fans and players alike.
--------------------------------
Everyone on Team Pensblog AAA click me now.
This game (along with the epic fail of last night by the Pens) is crushing my soul so I'm taking a couple days off to recuperate.
Go win some games.

"I have a theory. The computer player skill attributes are an average of of the human players. Perhaps the goalie attributes are averaged from our goalie skill points as well???
Do we all have our goalie skill points applied?"

Backstrom Moment Part 3
Not much writing for this one because it is 1:49am and I have a 9:00 class...
Video 1: Proof this game hates me.
Video 2: Legame doing what Legame does.
I actually meant to do that.
Video 3: Proof that I suck at this game.
Video 4: Poke check. Bitches.
Video 5: Zero's goaltending prowess. Back to back shutouts. Amazing stuff. Good thing he didn't face more than 6 shots in each game.
Leave any videos you feel are Backstromy enough to post. Those of you still needing to be added to the team leave a comment and you will get added only if you are active and will actually play the game. We have many people who have played less than 5 games online. Those people who have been inactive will be removed soon. If you are removed and you feel you should not be then leave a comment. EnsErmac i know you have xbox problems don't worry.

Bull
It has been a frustrating week or so for Team Pensblog. Nothing is going our way and we are dropping like a rock despite the fact that we are staying about 30 games over .500.
Some of you out there have asked for a poll or two so here you go...
Vote or don't vote. I don't care. Let's get online and play some games. And preferably win...

Backstrom Moment: Epic Fail
This is my personal "Backstrom moment." A massive epic fail in a shootout. Yes, I completely miss the net from inside the crease. Btw we ended up winning in the shootout 1-0 on a goal from Zero2113.

Backstrom Moments
WARNING: The following videos are perfect examples of what I call "A Backstrom Moment" made famous by this priceless moment:
Since this is the first installment of this feature I only have a few videos to post today.
Viewer Discretion is Advised.
The first one occured last night in a game i played with assklown 666 and jrkrush2112.
F.Y.I. that was a computer controlled defensmen. Or Kris Beech.
The next one is me showing off my legendary breakaway skills:
The next few are odd or pathetic plays taken from EASportsWorld.com
Iginla better than Crosby? I think not.
Apparently the Flames suck.
Since this game hates my life that goal ^ will happen very soon to me.
Thats about all for now... I'm thinking of having a "Backstrom Moments" and a "Lemieux Moments" feature so send me your videos or leave comments and I will post them.
