Blades of Steel (NES / Famicom)

Back in the NES days there was only one choice when looking for a hockey game for the system, and, amazingly, it wasn't by EA.  The game was Blades of Steel, and it was fantastic.  Fast play, solid controls, looked pretty good, and had a really snazzing penalty shot system.  I think my friends and I tried to go to shoot outs whenever possible just to do that little bit.  A really great game when Konami was trying their hand at some hockey.
