There's Going To Be An NHL (The Video Game) World Championship
About 1 week into my freshman year of college, I didn’t quite figure out that having my Xbox so close to my microwave was probably not the smartest idea. Needless to say, I fried the shit out of the system after making a few too many cups of Ramen and ended up with red ring. Since then I never made it around to buying another gaming system so yeah, I’m not the biggest gamer in the world.
With that being said, I may need to get myself back into the Chel life to try to win a piece of that $100,000. Do you any idea how much cold Chinese food $100,000 can buy me? We’re talking lunch and dinner every day for at least a full year, maybe more. My only issue with the versions of NHL (the video game) these days is that the games are way too realistic. I think it might be just as difficult to score in Chel as it is to score in an actual game. Remember the days of NHL Hitz 2002? All you had to do was set yourself up for a one-timer and it was an automatic goal. Or the wraparound in NHL 2004. Or cutting across the ice and shooting far side in NHL 2010. You could rack up 15-20 goals a game doing that shit back in the day. I don’t think I’ve scored in an NHL video game since whenever Giroux was on the cover. But if I need to get myself a gaming system, lock myself in a room and do nothing but train myself for an NHL 2018 tournament to win $100,000, then consider it done.
P.S. – Colorado Avalanche in Hitz 2002 is hands down the greatest hockey video game team of all time. No doubt about it.
