Simulated Lightning kicking virtual butt
It would be… no… yeah, I guess it would be better to have the real hockey players back on the ice, but as long as my beloved Lightning keep winning somehow, I almost don’t care: #
Flyers, Lightning, Oilers enjoy good week in simulated NHL season

(CP) – The Calgary Flames continue to lead the league but Philadelphia and Tampa Bay made moves this week to top their divisions in The Canadian Press’s simulated NHL season. #
The Lightning (14-13-4, 32 points) took seven of eight points on offer during the week, defeating Chicago 2-1, Montreal 3-2 and the Islanders 2-1 while tying the Minnesota Wild 1-1 in games simulated for The Canadian Press by Electronic Arts, using its made-in-Vancouver NHL 2005 game. That run moved the Stanley Cup champion into first place in the Southeast Division ahead of Atlanta and Florida. ##

It appears hopeless that the NHL and the player’s union will come to an accord for this season.
What a big disappointment. I really was looking forward to seeing them play.
The local cable sports channel is running games from last season. That and the championship DVD is all we got!
