Second Season Express still takes a while to play a game.
Not as long as a regular Second Season game, but still longer than other Express games from PLAAY.
Still, I may try to power through and finally finish the 1967 Denver Broncos season replay this week.
The plan is to finish some of these season replays that have been sitting idle under the full PLAAY games using the Express version, specifically this 1967 Broncos replay, perhaps the 1966-67 NHL replay, and maybe the 1974 John D’Acquisto season replay.
I may start a 1974 fictional Lacrosse season replay once Lacrosse Blast Express arrives.
Stay tuned!
One of the freebies from this year’s PLAAY Holiday Sale was the 1995-96 NHL Season for Hockey Blast.
I happily downloaded and opened it up on my PC and smiled when I saw the names on the San Jose Sharks squad from that year.
I then went to print it out and again felt happy to see the team roster.
And then I went to hockey-reference.com to review that season.
20-55-7 record. Dead last in the Pacific Division. Yikes.
I remember going to more than a few games that season, and the seasons before and after that.
I remember the faces but not the names of some of the regulars who sat around us.
I remember the loudest CLANG off the crossbar when Eric Lindros fired a shot on goal. Not sure if it was that season, but it was certainly during that time.
And that Sharks team was one of my favorite sports teams during that period as well.
With the new Hockey Blast Express I expect to roll some games from that season, maybe not a full season replay, and not just Sharks games.
The Flyers won their division that season, only to be knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual Eastern Conference Champs, the Florida Panthers.
If I play out a Flyers-Sharks Cup final, I’m afraid San Jose is gonna get swept by the Flyers.
But we’ll see.
Stay tuned!
