The Off-Season

Posted by kevkev On July - 27 - 2010

Once again; we have reached the time where we anxiously wait to see what move teams make and hope that we can make the playoffs.

Not unlike teams in the NHL, we like to make a few changes during the offseason to our site. Currently, most of these are in the early beta stages; but we have a lot of exciting changes planned and whilst we cannot share some of what we are doing we can share with you an idea of what we are doing:

- Comments are back.
After a long period of time not allowing feedback; we will start allowing you to comment on what we post using your facebook account should you have one (should you not; you can register directly with us)

-Faster loading.
Whislt our site is pretty fast, we are optimizing our site and cleaning it up to improve your experience

-More social.
Whether you want to show your mate how awful something we have said is, or you want to spread the word of something that you thought was awesome you will be able to in a much easier and intuitive system.

Thats just a few of the features we are bringing to the site, and whilst you may notice some lack of content occasionally, or the layout moving to weird places; rest assured it will all be worth it.

We will still aim to post content on at the least a weekly basis; and we hope that you will continue to follow us during the off season!

Congratulations Chicago!

Posted by wildwing64 On June - 13 - 2010

Yeah, I know. We’re a tad bit late to the party (the parade’s already taken place!), but we at PowerPlayGoal.com would like to congratulate the Chicago Blackhawks for winning the Stanley Cup this year, and for ending their near 50-year drought. Also, congrats to the Philadelphia Flyers for making it all the way to Finals.

Despite neither of our favourite teams making the playoffs at all this year, this postseason tournament turned out to be one of the best we’ve ever seen: who would have predicted that the low-ranked Montreal Candiens would have bested the NHL’s favourite players, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin? (And the teams that they play on, of course.)

And after going through years of mismanagement and irrelevancy in the city of Chicago, the Blackhawks made huge changes in the last few years alone, and eventually not only won back their fans, but also won a well-deserved Stanley Cup that they had been waiting so long for.

Right, now onto website related news: this year’s Aftermath series of articles is being worked on, so expect Part 1 to be added sometime soon – after this, I’ll probably go ahead and add one of our older articles, the 2007 edition, just for the sake of it.

But before this series goes up, there’ll be another special retro videogame review which I plan to put up maybe sometime later today, so be on the lookout for that.
