How they play
Puck possession. Short passes and keep-away. Pretty when it works. When the computer plays the Pastries, that's what it does: the style sets how often it shoots, passes, cycles, forechecks, stretches the ice and hits. Same style: Montreal Poutine, New York Noblemen, Finnish Fish, Czech Mates, Madison Squeakers, California Gold.
- Speed 2/5. Below average. They arrive. Not first. 8 other teams have it.
- Hitting 3/5. League average. 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 Pastries slap shot is as hard as anybody's.
The 75 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.
