Wait, it's just a simulation. I could just play the game myself. But the commentary will be real, that's a plus!

True, I wanted to see how they did/do it.
Hearing Joe B and Locker is nice though!

WTF? Are they for real?
I tuned in at 7:58 just to see what it looked like an it was already over. Thank God
I miss hockey like crazy....especially this time of year when it really starts to matter and get good, but I have absolutely NO interest in watching a video game version. They must be as bored as we are to put something on like this.

Caps won, so 1/2 off terrible pizza today. I laughed.
use code caps50

You know if these simulation results are based on player talent and stats, then the Caps will probably fare pretty well, record wise. It certainly doesn't factor players' compete level or effort, so.....
AND...
D.C. will finally have his dream come true....the NHL is now officially a video game league :lol:

BIZARRE!
Truly, truly BIZARRE! :huh:
I'm not going to question the "why" just yet. Im not sure there's a comprehensible answer to that.
The how? Do they have the top gamers of each team competing?
If this is suposed to be a .. ahem.. realistic depiction, then why isn't at least one Caps player in the box for most of the game?
How has Holeby only let in one.... ONE goal per game so far?
:( I feel dirty even talking about this as if it's a thing.
