I picked this up about a week ago. A bit complex at first, since I like hockey, but don't actually know hockey, but it's a lot of fun now that I know my way around things. I'm the Bruins, with the latest roster updates, and apparently Owen Nolan is magic. Merely signing him was enough to boost my team's overall ratings (on the matchup screen) at least 5 points each, barring goaltending.
Speaking of the matchup overall ratings, what does the number under the Stanley Cup symbol mean? I figured out offense, defense and goaltending easily enough, but I'm lost as to the meaning of the Cup.
