    How the heck is there not a modern NHL pin? Stanley Cup?

    This seems like a no-brainer. Hockey lends itself to pinball so well. A goalie. Multi pass combo. One timer. A save, etc.

    Surely this is possible right?

    I mean, we have the dopey Soccer dog from back in the day. Can’t we get hockey?

    Super Chexx scratches that itch fairly well in the ole home arcade.

    I've been saying we need some modern sports pins. Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer are perfect fodder for something new and exciting.

    I was playing a Bobby Orr Power Play on location this past weekend and thinking the same thing. Seems like the manufacturers are steering clear of all sport themed pins these days.

    It’s ok but it 2-player and eventually becomes like a ping pong table. You need 2-players.

    Imagine...u lock a ball, hit a target n go on the power play. (Multi ball) hit a couple more guys(targets) and the fans go wild...

    Sadly because NHL isn't that popular, and they are horrible at marketing.
    Seems like a no Brainer for sure

    I love this idea. Also to avoid a penalty you need to not a random shot for 30 seconds OR penalty kill multiball where you can’t let a ball drain for 30 seconds.

    Penalty shots. Shootouts. Possibilities are endless.

    Say you get a penalty they can make it so one of you flippers don’t work (hence down a man). For a power play they make it so it doesn’t drain ball(s) for a period of time this giving you an advantage.

    Put a red light, like that red light Budweiser made for hockey, atop the backbox where the light and horn goes off when you score.

    There is Ice Fever that actually has some of these features. It's a fun game but no multi ball.
