1975 Houston Oilers at New England Patriots

Game 1 at New England

Ok, just played my first game of DICE Football, and wouldn't you know it, the game goes into overtime.


The Oilers had some opportunities to win it in regulation, but they blew it. In the first half Dan Pastorini threw a costly pass that was intercepted at the Patriot 7 yard line. Skip Butler missed a 37 yard FG in the fourth quarter, but did find the uprights late in the quarter to tie the game.

The Patriots won the coin toss for overtime, but did nothing with the ball and had to punt from their own 19. The Oilers took possession with great field position at their own 49.  On 3rd and 4, Pastorini hit Burrough for a 32 yard gain down to the Patriot 17. The Oiler's worked the ball down to the 10 before sending out Butler to try an end the game. Butler's kick went through the uprights and the Oilers win 26-23!

This game featured 42 incompletions and 7 FGs.

Since it's usually a pain for me to try and format it here, I'll have posted the box score at Google docs.

1962-63 Mini-Replay Game 7

Detroit at Toronto

Toronto thrilled the home crowd with a couple of first period goals before Detroit got back in the game with a Gordie Howe power play goal in the second.  Toronto took over in the third thanks to a series of Detroit penalties. Dave Keon iced the game with a power play goal that gave Toronto a 4-1 lead and took the steam out of the visitors. Eddie Shack added the insult to the injury to make it a 5-1 final.

While Toronto was the class of the NHL in this season, it's still amazing how the Red Wings have had one period in each of their first three games where they just implode.

Finally, in a previous summary I had noted that Toronto's Carl Brewer was lost for the rest of the replay. Well, he made a miraculous recovery. Actually I realized later that I had misapplied the super simple injury rule, so he's healthy.

1962-63 Mini-Replay Game 6

The second game of the NY-Detroit series was eerily reminiscent of the first for the Red Wings as they had another disastrous second period. Detroit started well enough taking a 1-0 lead in the first on a Val Fonteyne goal, but the Rangers owned the second period. The shots were about even, but the Rangers found the net 3 times to take a 3-1 lead. Fonteyne added another third goal in the third, but the Red Wings could get no closer. Rangers win this one 4-2 and take both games of the series.

1980 - Dodgers at Astros

Don Sutton was brilliant in this game scattering 8 hits and walking none en route to a 4-1 complete game win. The Dodgers pounded out 17 hits off of 4 different Astros pitchers.

1962-63 Mini-Replay Game 5

After intercepting an errant Detroit pass, Andy Hebenton zipped down the ice on the breakaway and smashed a slapshot that flew past a helpless Terry Sawchuck. Detroit actually outplayed New York in the first period outshooting them 13-8, but none went past Gump Worsley (what a great name).

While the first period was frustrating for Detroit, the second was a complete catastrophe. Not only did they give up 3 more goals, but they lost their 1st line center Parker McDonald for the rest of the game and for their next game as well.

It did not get any better for the Wings in the third as the Rangers dominated them for a 16-5 shots advantage. A great performance by the Rangers and a thoroughly forgettable one by the Red Wings.
