Fair enough Oslo, you had our number all season. The Vasteras curse lives on.

@Members

1. The Seattle Bears have defeated the D.C. Dragons for the fifth straight time, improving to a 5-0 all-time playoff record over the capital's finest – now one of the most lopsided matchups in VHL playoff history. What it means for the final result is up in the air though – the Bears went on to win the cup the first two times they beat the Dragons in S71 and S73, but lost in the finals after making it past D.C. in S79 and S84. 2. For the first time ever, the European Conference playoffs were contested solely by expansion teams – Moscow, Malmo, Prague, Warsaw, and the conference champions London. Not a great showing in S93 for the old guard of Riga, Helsinki, and Davos. 3. Just the one brand new playoff match-up in S93, with New York and Chicago facing off for the first time. The Phoenix have now played each of their seven conference rivals at least once since coming into the league in S73. Although it will take time for all the expansion franchises to meet every team in the other conference, this now means there is only one conference match-up yet to take place: Warsaw vs London.

Super GM and super coach, hedge will be missed.

A win against Oslo.

You can not stop us, only Vasteras can stop Vasteras.

Victory Cup curse is real

Thank you all for your nominations! Receiving more than 1 vote and therefore a place on the ballot are... @Banackock @LucyXpher @Spartan also receiving a vote each were... @AJW @Ahma @Beketov @Joel Main @Tetricide @UghSike @ace_five_ @dlamb and @dstevensonjr If you would like to know what you got nominated for, please PM me. I won't be able to respond promptly as currently travelling but I can let you know when I'm back next week.

64. The VHL and the WWE are doing a crossover. They’ve picked a bunch of players and you are one of them to become a fighter. What is your name and finishing move? The Italian Stallion, finishing with a big old might kick in the groin. 66. A famous poet wrote a poem about your player season. What is the title of the poem? The Italian Stallion Gallops Through Sweden 67. When your player is feeling gassed in the middle of a game, what is there go to for piping up their energy? I reckon insult the family, that will get the juices flowing quickly. 68. How was your preparing for playoffs? Whole season has been one long preparation for it in the E, especially when it became clear the first round would be against one of the fellow contenders. No change in routine, just jumped straight in. 69. Elon Musk has been a hostile takeover of the VHL. What does he rebrand the new league to? Y because its next to X in the alphabet and also Y would he do that. 70. If the three commissioners got into a battle of the death, which one would win and what would their weapon choices be? Josh seems to be in best shape based on what I've heard. Unfortunately he's a coding nerd so I feel like Bek as the wise head would pick a more sensible weapon. I think he wins but maybe I'm underestimating what Acyd brings to the table.

Week 2 of 2

There is life in the vikings yet... and a nice game of ping pong with Cologne, as expected.

It was 100% success rate, all you had to do was get a time machine and travel back to 2014.

It was vhl chat, barely any activity there

Bek needs to pay attention to Discord smh

I saw that the other day and was like oh yeah such a random thing happened. Only like 87 points too. Real dead puck era.

Chased their goalies twice now we gonna get overconfident ffs

No surprises here, Warsaw and Chicago peaked in S76.

Hello folks @Members The Elmebeck trophy is back, looking at the top members from the last 2 seasons / 4 months (S92-S93) / basically so far in 2024. Every member can nominate one other member who they feel demonstrated great work ethic, passion for the VHL, and/or made some notable contribution which in your eyes made them stand out. There are no restrictions on who you nominate, but we will not necessarily vote for someone in a position of power. This should whittle it down to a few candidates which the BOG will vote on prior to the off-season awards ceremony. To nominate a fellow member, simply fill out the short form below:

first GM MVP? It's time to push the boundaries.

The season is nearly over. Oslo, Cologne, and Vasteras are about to take their three-way hustle for the Renaissance Cup (barring an incredible underdog run by Rome or Stockholm), but the end of regular season question is – will any of the three teams see their player(s) take the MVP crown? Oslo – the Storm have powered to first place thanks to the triple threat of Wayne Gretzky, Antonia Bucatini, and Jussi Jokineengg, currently separated by just 5 points. Oslo's offensive prowess is formidable and makes them arguably cup favourites, but will voters be able to choose which of their forwards is most valuable? Cologne – VHLE lifer BjornaBjorkson is near the top of the scoring charts again, 5 points clear of Alexandros Mograine, while VHLE lifer Clark looks primed to take home yet another top goaltending award. In a similar vein to Oslo, there is a chance voters won't be able to decide which of the Express' leaders stood out more than the rest. Vasteras – Gianfranco Del Rocco leads the team by a much larger margin than his rivals with an 18-point gap to defenceman Lucy Leitner in second place. Del Rocco himself is 10 points of the league lead though while Vasteras' two-headed goalie tandem of Lovstrom and Vencko sits in the top four of league save percentage. Someone else? Nathan Ecker sits third in league scoring on a wildcard Gladiators team, with no elite goalie and a 26-point lead on his teammates. Is Ecker the one to sneak up on the favourites and steal the trophy?

bestowed upon the winner by Charles himself I hear!

We also need nation states and oil money invested in us, then we can go global and add the VHLA.

True. Untouchable dominance.
