Ok, I hate to nit pick.... Butttt, Suffolk gave up a goal 2 seconds into a game tonight!  Seriously, how in the heck is that justified?...that is very very unrealistic...actually, it had never been done before....EVERRRR !!! I guess that's something for the books!  Also, I had a player injured for "166 Days"...ANOTHER FHL RECORD FOR MEEEEE, YEAHHHHHHH! ;D Woohoo......Good Times!  |

Also, I had a player injured for "166 Days"...ANOTHER FHL RECORD FOR MEEEEE, YEAHHHHHHH! ;D Woohoo......Good Times! Each period of the game is made up of many game pulses. A game pulse could be a shot, a player skating with the puck, players battling over a loose puck, passing, face off resolution etc. The actual game time for each of these is measured in 10ths of seconds and varies given the action and location of the action. A shot from one end of the ice to the other may take 3.3 to 4.5 seconds, a player could skate with the puck for 1.7 to 3.6 seconds (these numbers are just an example as I am not looking at my code right now to determine there actual values. In theory, because the seconds are rounded down the goal may have occurred at 2.9 seconds and it would show up a :02 as is the case in a real game. I will review some game output to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary but what would have had to happen was the player getting control of the puck in the neutral zone off the draw and firing it on net (a 1% chance of doing so from the neutral zone) and the goalie getting beat by it (I am guessing this was another 1% chance, again the code and tables are not in front of me). I will review the code and modify if needed. |

I realize the time frame for this spectacular event to occur, however, in the realm of things, I highly doubt that Mr Richards had a clean swipe of the faceoff, pivoted his feet, while in the same motion launched a puck at the net...and Scored! Not in 2.9 seconds, not in 3 seconds..Heck, not even in 7 seconds unless.... A few scenarios would need to be in order for this occurence to take place: 1- My team wasnt on the ice and the ref dropped the puck inadvertantly. 2- Mr Richards was a pre-game ( or between period ) participant in "Stump the Goalie Contest" in which he would win a T-Shirt and some Non-Pareils. 3- He is "That Good!" 4- Santa Claus is coming to town! Anyhow, I dont mind being a part of history, however I think the engine should be punished and never allow such an event to ever occur...Which would make me forever a part of history! |

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I have a question for you and I guarantee your guess will be nowhere near the answer but here goes: Back in the day I was noted as having a pretty good slapper. Well, exceptional if the truth be told. I once score three goals in a men's in-house league in Reading back to back to back. How long do you think it took me? As an added piece to the equation, I played center. |

Is this a trick question?.......Were they in the same game?  ;D I dont mean to lessen your particular event, but I can compare them.... Your 3 goals were probably, some seconds apart ( 32 or so ), but the difference in the comparison is this; You had a tangible "begin point for goal #1 and the last goal, #3...the timer began for your instance AFTER the 1st goal was scored, thereby creating a window of "3 goals"...but they werent EACH scored in 3 seconds, meaning it TOOK 3 seconds for the entire act to take place. Your feat, no doubt incredible (as I too have done it from Center position and from Defense, AND I have been succesful at allowing 3 goals just as fast when I played goal ).... To compare: A standing still play, a faceoff-AT center ice, with 6 opposing players ( including a goalie ) and all of the intangibles that come into play; the refs positioning, the trajectory of the dropped puck, the happenstance of where the goalie was a time of the drop, etc...not to mention the opposing centerman....Im just saying it is highly unlikely, as we have proved over the many years of hockey.... I just dont think this should be a reoccurring option for the engine...NOT FROM THE FACEOFF AT CENTER at least....I have done on a faceoff in the offensive zone...but NEVER, NEVER at Center Ice....So take it easy Al Iafrate!  ;D |

And your werent even using a Carbon Fiber One Piece either! Were you?...no sir, you were probably using a a Sherwood, whilst I was donning the ole Bauer and Black from the hardware store at the corner....then I upgraded to a Titan and a Montreal, then a Christian Aluminum with a a Sock-Wrap Heel Curve....Now I have an Easton Carbon Fiber Shaft 110 flex with a Lidstrom Heel Curve...same stick for at least 15 years, except for the blade of course!

You are astute in identifying the window actually starting from when the first goal took place as most people do not and immediately want to call shenanigans whenever I tell them however in viewing my response, you will see that it is relevant. Answer: 6 seconds. Scored the first goal on a feed from the corner to me coming down the slot. On the ensuing faceoff, I pull the puck back slightly, the opposing center moves forward belatedly towards the puck, I push the puck through his legs and crank one from 5 feet inside the red red line ....... WHOOOSH - upper right hand corner. 2 Goals, 3 seconds On the next faceoff he is looking for me to do the same however I immediately push the puck through his legs and crank from another from the same spot ........... WHOOOSH - upper right hand corner. 3 goals, 6 seconds. Now granted, I would not expect an NHL caliber goalie to give up a goal like this at the start of a period and I in no way validate the engine results based on my experience however believe me, 3 seconds is well within the realm of possibilities. You may be scratching your head and wondering if I am spinning a tale or BSing you. I am not. |

Did you sneak onto the ice during an under-10 game?

I was most likely using my trusty fire red Canadian aluminum stick at that time. I loved that thing. I had some aluminum Christians after that but I didn't like them as much as they seem thicker somehow. Even with the aluminum sticks I still went through a wooden blade every 2 or 3 games... |
