I for one love the game and I like the Press Box views (I know a bit small,
but for me they work especially in SVGA.) and the Sky views. I'm currently
playing with Calgary and I don't know if this is because I was away or not
but I finally managed to get a hattrick with Theo Fleury and it still didn't
even acknowledge it!! (Final score 3-2 for me!! against Winnipeg :) ) Also
Every now and again in different places, it crashes with a seek error. Is this
my Mitsumi 2X acting up (if so, not to worry as it's due for an upgrade I
hope someday soon :) ) or one of my settings somewhere? I don't think it's
a bad CD since it's popping up all over the place. Also, I HATE it that I
allready put two pucks into my own net, because I was pulling back with a 
defenceman while the computer shot and all of a sudden I was the goalie
backing  up into my own net!! Well, for now I save after every period just
in case the game crashes (I don't cheat ;) and keep on having fun. Thanx
for any help...
