Metafilter needs an NHL 94 tournament. I'll keep the records unless someone else better at clerical stuff wants to. Who wants in? (I get to be the Bruins. Cam Neely will bang in your face.)

It's not me, it's Roenick. He's good.

Though not so much in 2006.

Teemu Selanne was the tits on this version iirc.

NHL 96 is the greatest video game ever. 94, not so much.

pfft...whatev! I *always* went undeafeted, no matter what team I was. All I had to do was be the nose guard on defense, take one step down when the ball was snapped and dive towards the backfield. Even the 'Aints had defensive numbers that would make the '86 Bears look like a bunch of little girls.

Man, if it was 1994 and I was still in college, I'd be so on this.

But only if we can drink bottles of Crazy Horse malt liquor and listen to The Chronic while we do.

Well, my remaining shreds of personal dignity are. But man, I've been meaning to get rid of those for a while now.

Blackhawks ftw!

NHL 94 doesn't have fighting. Therefore, it is teh suck.

And once you figure out that juke on the goalie, you can pretty much score at will.

Man, I miss that game.

Haha, when I was in my senior year of college we had the Genesis with NHL '94 parked right next to the kegerator. You could definitely fight.

Give me Sandis Ozolinsh and it's all over but the shouting.

I'm down for this. My schedule is a bit odd these days, so I may end up forfeiting some games if they are at set times, but I will crush you all. I seem to remember that '95 was the pinnacle of the series, though, no?

watch that hip, Cam...

I call Detroit.

There is this little thumb flick that I can still do after all these years to score a goal every time. I think it came from years of doing it between bong hits and beer swigs while I was supposed to be writing papers.
