I started a GM Connected League for the PS3. All DVDTalkers (and everyone else) are welcome to join. The league's handle is DTHL. Search for it in the GM Connected search screen.

I'll give everyone through the weekend to sign up before starting our first season. People can jump in at any time though. We will play two weeks worth of NHL games in one week. Roughly 6 games per play period. You can play the games, sim the games, whatever. All I ask is that you try to play your human opponents when they pop up on schedule. You will see which teams are human-controlled and which are CPU-controlled in your schedule. It's all pretty straight forward.

If you have an Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad you can use the NHL Companion app to help manage your team. The options are limited right now but it's proven helpful because when you're logged into GM Connected the load times are slllllooooooow. On the app you can propose trades, sign free agents, view stats/schedule/standings.

I'd like to balance our human-controlled players along EAST/WEST lines. ROSTERS ARE RANDOM. You are basically choosing uniforms and arena. You will not know who is on your team until you pick your team and log in.

Team - DVDTalk handle (PSN name)

jdpatri

In case you haven't noticed, we need some folks to man some of the Eastern Conference teams.

cnicholls44

I think r2 said he was picking colorado and sauce wanted washington.

jdpatri

I'll put 'em down. But we're going to need some Eastern Conference bastards...

shumway

I think I can man up. I'll go w/ Carolina. Will be able to sign up Friday, most likely. Possibly tonight depending on how late I make it home.

jdpatri

Everyone, please wait to play any games or sign any Free Agents until Monday. You can manage your teams and talk trade all you want until then.

jdpatri

nic, does your brother want in?

cnicholls44

probably

Quake1028

I'll take Pittsburgh (yes, I will really play this time. Promise. Last time (NCAA) got screwed because of us buying a house).

jdpatri

Another non-DVDTalker was going to take Pittsburgh.... so I don't know if he's signed up yet or not. Whoever grabs 'em first.

jdpatri

Can we assign him a team? Or does he want a say?

cnicholls44

he said he wants the jets

jdpatri

They're technically still in the East, right?

cnicholls44

i think

Quake1028

Actually let them have Pitt. I'll take the Lightning.

cruzness

They are

shumway

There. You now have a request for me to have the Hurricanes.

cruzness

OK. So we can't play games yet but are we able to sign players and make trades. This is new to me so I will be asking lotsa questions. I looked around and I have tons of cap space.

shumway

Cruz!!! Pay attention or we'll make you wear the dunce cap.

jdpatri

Welp. We have everyone in the Southeast in the East. That'll be interesting. Tallas has the only Atlantic team. I wouldn't mind at least one of the Southeast teams moving to the Atlantic... but hey, whatever. Free for all in the Southeast.

shumway

Move me to the Atlantic. Hell move me back to Hartford if you can!! Viva El Ballenero!!!!

jdpatri

pay attention!

jdpatri

I gave you the Islanders because I hope they have the stupid fisherman jerseys.

jdpatri

jdpatri

Was there anyone else that wanted to join? If we get one more, we'd have five teams in each conference.
