Possible EASHL quit glitch or server hiccup?
This is probably nothing, but there's enough red flags here to get my spidey-sense tingling.
My club played a game last night that finished odd and ended up not counting. No win, no loss, nothing. Normally I'd just chalk it up to a server hiccup and not give it a second thought.
But....
1. Their record of 89-4-2 is waaaaaay to good for the quality of player we faced. My club is average at best. You'll never see me claiming we're a "top club". But we pummeled these guys 11-2. They were legitimately terrible. In years past with other "make the game not count" exploits this was always a telltale indicator. Clubs with poor to mediocre players that somehow were winning nearly all of their games.
2. When I looked at their recent games on the website last night they had a couple of game-sized gaps in there. ( ie games an hour apart instead of the usual 20-25 minutes ). Another telltale sign.
3. This club's abbreviation was 8 characters long. Way longer than 3 characters which indicates to me they're not above using some level of exploits.
I'm posting this to see if anyone else has run into any "suspicious" end-game shenanigans. If there is an exploit out there EA should be made aware of it sooner rather than later if there's any hope of it being addressed for NHL 20.

Looking at that club's record they had 14 DNF wins that night alone all at the 20 minute mark.
Has anybody seen this one?
Happens in dropins too. Server related most probably.

Inevitably it's a team whose level of play doesn't seem to match their extremely high winning percentage. We "win" the game but when the third period ends it doesn't go to the usual post-game menu, but a very limited one and the game doesn't count and there's no record it ever happened.
Just something to keep an eye on moving into NHL 20.
