No to everything here.

?

Cuz it would fuck up all the other times it was used.

Jacob Perry's revenge.

No easy games smh.

Moscow, Moscow, Moscow is back for another season of being the league's favourite team, now with some new blood coming through the ranks but it's another season for the old guard at the top of the game. This season's captains are all part of Moscow's S66 draft class, playing together since S67 (alongside Pavlov, that scrub). We have our fearless leader Jet Jaguar coming back for his 5th season as team captain, the quiet assassin Mat Tocco in support, and at long last recognition for motivation guru and playmaker extraordinaire (seriously, check out his playoff stats) Dean Clarke. Together, we have been to the playoffs 4 times, to the finals twice, and won one Continental Cup to date. The class of S66 isn't done yet.

I mean this is more about who might break out and make the HOF, not MGS.

RIP

So many defencemen among the high TPE earners these days but who's going to break out? Last season was the first time someone usurped Smitty – it was Lincoln Tate with by far his best season to date. Here's what the TPE whore defencemen have achieved so far: Tate – S71 Labatte & Wylde & 1st Team Adrienne – S70 Wylde Flowers – S68 Wylde, S71 2nd Team Pavlov – S70 1st Team & Cup Hogan – S71 Beketov, S68, S69, S71 Cup Summers – S71 Beketov & 2nd Team Hackett – S69 2nd Team Fontenette – S70 2nd Team A lot of defencemen, no one really standing out yet. This doesn't mention guys who haven't got awards for the efforts like Garcia, Valentino, Block. Meanwhile, Roque Davis is on the way up already. With none of these names scheduled to retire for another 2 seasons at least, it's really all to play for. Never has such a high proportion of the high TPA players been defencemen, especially when compared to the wingers in the league. It feels like some defencemen should be going into the Hall of Fame out of this era but who is going to take that step?

This was 1,813 words btw so week 3 of 3, oh yeah.

Lovely stuff again. I had to check where I ranked them in the top 10 goalies, surprisingly pretty far apart with Shaw at 3 and Kanou at 6. I'm gonna stick with that verdict as I actually did research back then while atm I think there's a bit of decency bias because of Funk making a run for Kanou's status as playoff king (although I guess that's Wingate's title now anyway. But then Shaw has been eclipsed in the regular season too). Anyway, unreal rivalry. That S24 final was something else. Not even Cleganebowl could match it. But I do think Kanou had the higher highs but not as many highs.

Party like it's S36.

Ah the ol' Kastelic maneuver.

Look forward to having you here.

Show them the Moscow way Telker!

That has been the case for the past 3 seasons so (and I, again, did not vote NY, even though I probably should at this point). Dunno about that one.

Barely.

Is it even a Sunday if I didn't tag all VHL members in a league-wide poll? Last season, a small but significant majority of members correctly predicted Helsinki and New York would miss the playoffs: https://vhlforum.com/topic/79366-who-will-miss-the-playoffs-in-s71/ A few brave souls even thought Moscow might, smh. Last season, it was a reasonably safe prediction to assume Toronto and Davos wouldn't be hugely involved in the playoff race. This season we can assume the same about Toronto and Malmo. Of the other 10 teams, which 2 will be unfortunate enough to miss out in S72? @Members

Updated OP and portal on assumption Bana accepts.

Alright, another 5-horse race in NA lol.
