Return of The Russian Rocket...But To WHO???
The Pittsburgh Penguins!!!
Bure decided to make a come back after a few years out of the league... and he chose the Pens. Previews to come... 2k8 is the game (IMO the best hockey game ever) and the sliders are very challenging...cause I hate winning w/o a challenge. Updates will be done game to game...similar to the style of my Cardinals updates. Once again, its baseball season so much of my attention will be spent there...but this will get played...probably more often than I'm letting on. |
Re: Return of The Russian Rocket...But To WHO???
Good job man but I'm saying this for everyone, 2k8 is not the best game. LOL. Bure on the Pens WOOHOO!!

Re: Return of The Russian Rocket...But To WHO???
A Rocket Has Landed...
The Pittsburgh Penguins consider themselves very lucky today. Two weeks after retired super-sniper Pavel Bure made it known that he had been rehabbing his knee and was contemplating a comeback, the Penguins convinced the Russian Rocket that Pittsburgh was the place he needed to be. "I think it was obvious. The Penguins have of of the best teams in hockey.. is very young... is exciting. I'm happy to be back in NHL. I think I am the piece they need", said the former 60-goal scorer who in a career shorted by knee injuries was able to tally 437 goals and 342 assists for 779 points in just 702 games. Bure, who many skeptics feel is still injury prone, is fully confident that his abilities are still at an elite level. "I've been training and skating ever since 2005...slowly building my strength. I know what it feels like to be an elite player...I am that now", remarked Bure in response to the skeptics. Penguins nation is obviously excited to have the Russian Rocket on its side and the NHL as a whole should also be very happy to have one last chance to see one of the greatest pure goal scorers to ever play the game skate once again. |

Re: Return of The Russian Rocket...But To WHO???
Well, after losing three games I played because of a freeze issue...I will be turning injuries off. :signball:
Yeah, it loses some realism but I can't deal with with freezes... the only plus is that I lost Bure for a week, so whatever...I guess I have him back now. the bad thing is I lost an 8-0 win over Phoenix (rare hat trick for Talbot), an exciting 4-3 win against the Leafs, and a 2-1 loss to the Oil. Whatever...I guess. Just reinforces that I should save after every game. I can't complain too much either as the is the first time this has happened to me with 2k8 after 150 games or so.

The Pens gave up Bill Guerin who had 9 goals and 9 assists, but 2 goals and 3 assists came in just one game earlier this season giving him 7 goals and 6 assists in the other 27 games...not even 1/2 a point per game, folks...and thats while playing on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Miroslav Satan. Not that I'm a fan of Euro's or anything, but c'mon Billy. Cheechoo has one of the best shots in the game and will do real well along side Malkin, which is where I'm thinking he'll be playing. Fedetenko was struggling to score and it never hurts for a squad to have more grit, so Mike Grier will bring a lot of needed grit to the Pens. This deal will pay off immediately for the Pens.
