How they play
The trap. They clog the middle and wait for you to make a mistake. Patience is their whole personality. When the computer plays the Wall, that's what it does: the style sets how often it shoots, passes, cycles, forechecks, stretches the ice and hits. Same style: Moscow Mules, Toronto Raccoons, Buffalo Lake Effect, Colorado Yetis, Swiss Cheese, Slovak Slowpokes.
- Speed 1/5. Slow. The slowest rating in the league. One other team has it.
- Hitting 4/5. Heavy. Their hits move people. Hitting is weight in collisions: who flies and who stays up.
- Size 4/5. Big, and they look it on the ice.
- Shooting is the same for every team. A Wall slap shot is as hard as anybody's.
The 78 OVR is how sharp their computer players are: how fast they read the play, how true they pass, how clean their sticks are. It doesn't touch how hard anyone shoots. Below the league average, so the computer makes a few more mistakes with them.
