Your mistake was not sending me to exile afterwards.

Easter Monday means morning Westworld session for me, oh yes.

I do.

Robbie's even been beaten to this schtick, ouch.

1. Chico Salmon, Felix Zamora, and Kerkko Hyvarinen have what in common? A random question I came up with when updating career playoff stats which can be found here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/347-vhl-career-stats-updated-for-s70/ Turns out, none of the players who made more than 100 playoff appearances ended up in the Hall of Fame. Which makes some sense as that requires luck and timing more than anything else. The last bit - confirming they played for Calgary, was probably easiest to find by checking the indexes for the seasons they played - Salmon and Zamora joined forces for Calgary in S34 and S35, while Hyvarinen was part of the S44 cup winners and then for a few more years after. So the answer is all of the above. 2. TRUE/FALSE: A goalie has never been named captain by a VHL team (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Mr_Hatter) False, there have been loads as per this thread: https://vhlforum.com/topic/1061-vhl-all-time-captains/ Rayz Funk currently, Brick Wahl a few seasons ago, Daisuke Kanou, Remy LeBeau who captained the S37 champions, among others. The sim might discriminate against goalies but we do not. 2 capped TPE goes to: McWolf @McWolf sjs88speed @sjs88speed GustavMattias @GustavMattias Vin Cal @VinCal Jacobaa19 @jacobaa19 Motzaburger @Motzaburger BigTittySmitty @BigTittySmitty Da_Berr @Da_Berr Esso2264 @Esso2264 radlikemydad @radlikemydad MexicanCow123 @MexicanCow123 Hulkhogan @Hulk Hogan Spartan @Spartan Sonnet @Sonnet CrlineDijohn14 @CrlineDijohn14 OILMANDAN @oilmandan destroyyourbrain @destroyyourbrain Ocho11 @Ocho11 Kendrick @Kendrick FrostBeard @FrostBeard Ricer13 @Ricer13 Mike @Mike Zepheter @zepheter Telkster @Telkster DoktorFunk @DoktorFunk Ferda @Ferda DarkSpyro @DarkSpyro BlueMaple - whom?

This is pretty key though I've noticed. S68 draft a particularly big culprit imo - most of its best players were defencemen already and then the best forwards (Underyew, Lehtinen) fell off. But S67 and S69 are even at best, definitely not as forward-dominated as they'd need to be to offset. So yeah, defencemen era it is then.

Well at least we stopped the slide.

OK that didn't go to plan.

This is good shit. Always a place for a good goon in the VHL and perhaps one day O'Neal's PIM record will finally fall. Also L-P L-L is an interesting case study for anyone who thinks undisciplined players hurt their teams. A bit of a liability in the regular season, but 3 finals appearances and 2 cups in a relatively short career.

I mean it is S1, this is when Vasteras is normally good.

I think I'll start editing the HOF induction post for every time you bring it up and take out something good every time. So by the end it'll just be me calling you a dick.

Too early to tell with @Tagger and @SlapshotDragon imo

Getting ever closer.

wowza that's a barnstormer folks

we're just saving ourselves up for the playoffs this time, Seattle style.

lmao ok Bernard is just a sieve now

Damn it all.

I still have no idea.

It's Malmo...

yikes

Ligriv >

I mean if you engage in a high-scoring shitshow with us there's only going to be one outcome.

That's Jaguar's new-found discipline right there.
