So I'm running NHL 15 (PS3) with added players and heavy player edits. I did a fantasy draft with the Blues, drafting with an eye toward getting players I hadn't played with before. Simmed a season to bring me to the 15-16 season.
Domi/Bergeron/Hossa
E.Kane/Nugent-Hopkins/Tarasenko
Larkin/Jarnkrok/Burrows
Deslauriers/MacKenzie/Condra
Markov/S.Jones
Reilly/Bieksa
Jackman/Parayko
Hiller
Varlamov
During the regular season I played 8-10 games to get a feel for the team. The Nuge was my best offensive player, Tarasenko was disappointing, Domi/Larkin were solid but weren't amazing, and Reilly/Jones were fun to use to rush the puck.
Playoffs start against the Avs, and wow...just wow. Dylan Larkin is an absolute beast. I lose game 2 5-2, and Larkin gets first star with 2 goals. Game 3 was the most dominant game I've played with one player. If the puck wasn't in the offensive zone, Larkin would go and take it from whoever had it. The guy was absolutely everywhere. He was driving the play all night and finished with 4 points. My favorite part of the night was sticking Tarasenko (who has been awful) on his line, and a few shifts later Larkin finds him in the slot for Vlad's first goal of the series.
I'm down 0-1 in Game 4 with 6 or so minutes left. Larkin ties it with a roof snipe from the slot on a nice feed from Vlad. Next shift out Larkin takes a feed from Bergeron and puts it short side for the lead. He then added an empty net goal for the hat trick. 11 points in 4 games. 6 goals on 13 shots. It's so much fun playing this as it unfolds, I haven't had this much fun with a playoff series in a long time. As awesome as this I'm really excited for next season to see how his rating changes and if he keeps up this level of play.
