I have been in the VHL for a long time. Specifically, I created my first player 61 seasons ago, in S10. For 9 seasons I have not had a player – due to my hiatus in the 50s but also a couple short breaks between players on two occasions. I have also only spent 4 seasons where I have only had a VHLM player (i.e. no one in the big leagues) and been blessed with only 8 seasons of a rebuild. That still leaves 40 seasons in which I was on a team contending for a cup, i.e. I went into a season believing that we could win it all. Sometimes those hopes were dashed early on, sometimes in Game 7 heartbreak in the finals, and 13 times they were realised. No one has won more Continental Cups than me in VHL history and yet to my 13 Ws I have taken more than twice as many Ls in my VHL career. But, like everyone else, I keep coming back. Clearly, it's not because success is guaranteed, otherwise I'd be pretty damn disappointed with the results. Evidently, the highs are better than the lows and the community makes it worthwhile. Thank you everyone x. @Doomsday's article which dropped about 5 minutes ago also reminded me that only 9 playoff MVPs didn't win the cup (and 3 of them co-winners). Of the remaining six I managed to appear twice (Chershenko in S34 and Clegane in S51). Maybe that's why I keep coming back.

take me back to this monster

Damn that Shaw! Oh wait I was on Shaw's team... Damn that Kanou!

I actually hate you.

Looks like everyone who wanted to submit a nomination has so thank you. We'll now take it to the BOG and vote alongside the other awards. For full disclosure, here is everyone who got more than 1 nomination and is heading to the ballot: @Berocka @DoktorFunk @Doomsday @Erik Summers @GustavMattias @Josh @Jubis @Proto @Ricer13 @gorlab @rjfryman And here's everyone that won't make the ballot but got nominated so well done, someone out there loves you! @Acydburn @Banackock @ColeMrtz @DarkSpyro @Enorama @FrostBeard @joeg @Jubo07 @Rayzor_7 @Devise @diamond_ace

Beautiful team performance here.

What's wrong with the Legion logo?

That would be 4, take your pick of Doug Schneider, Marcel Faux, or Phil Shankly: https://vhlforum.com/topic/10505-continental-cups-by-player-and-member/

hot. like it more with no text cuz too many logos with text now.

No Carole Baskin, I am disappointed.

ah the French, always striking

That's a classic Pavlov there by the President.

gross

Just realised this is basically the old Virkkunen Trophy. It lives!

That's what Jericho said.

the star system agrees with me, 18 SA is child's play

HHH anonymous in the playoffs, who wudda thunk

11 fewer shots with 4 extra powerplays is not the one. Bernard is the one though.

WTF Offence Where

Thought this was going to be about changing the criteria for greatest goaltending playoff performances.

god not this again

I'm actually surprised that was still there, that was from when brovy was being an idiot.
