Week 4 of 4

I don't do my full update on Mondays and haven't done today's. I was ahead yesterday and I don't think your temporary 5 TPE lead is going to cause me significant issues giving there's 14 a week.

It's not been 25 seasons yet so not sure what Vasteras is expecting here tbh.

Same wavelength for sure. What we know is if Toronto wins it's the start of a finals streak, repeat, threepeat or something, they don't mess about.

In fact, a 24 or a 25 season cup drought will end this season.

Big statement to end a very long finals drought for Toronto. Toronto vs Helsinki, that's a proper throwback final.

Here for the free TPE

Trade deadline day in the VHL in S91 arrived with unexpected great news for Italian hockey – not one but two highly-rated prospects from well-regarded agencies decided to join the S93 draft while also representing Italy. At the time of writing, Antonia Bucatini and Gianfranco Del Rocco remain the top two prospects in the draft based on TPE and pleasingly for Italian fans do not appear to be engaging in a toxic rivalry but going about their business in a healthy manner. Those hoping for an immediate link-up between the two young forwards were left disappointed when Bucatini teamed up with fellow S93 draftee Jean Pierre-Devote from nearby Monaco instead, joining the high-flying Philadelphia Reapers. Bucatini has reaped benefits of making the first move with 14 points in 18 regular season games and now already beating that with 15 points through two rounds of the playoffs as Philadelphia has booked a ticket to the Founder's Cup finals. Del Rocco, having opted to join fringe playoff team Miami instead to guarantee a top 6 position, matched Bucatini's regular season output but the playoffs ended for the Marauders after just five games, with just a goal and an assist for Del Rocco to show for it. Both Italians have shown good progress in their early VHLM days and will be expected to be drafted early in the upcoming Dispersal Draft, with fans back home having every reason to look forward to a bright future in the VHL.

All 4 now (or again in Teno and Vandelay's case) feature prominently in the best goaltending performances ever... https://vhlforum.com/topic/35246-greatest-goaltending-performances-in-single-playoff-series/ More to come in the conference finals and finals perhaps?

Week 3 of 4

Toronto really got the better deal by finishing 2nd.

Clark really takes no prisoners.

After a season's hiatus, we return with the feelgood award of the VHL. Why were we gone for a season? Answer is here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/141424-elmebeck-trophy/ As a reminder, 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. Big change this season is this is looking at the last 2 seasons, i.e. the last 4 months. Get your nominations in and give us some strong candidates to assess.

Great run, thank you for bringing Calgary back to the top where it belongs. Thought you'd be a Bana/hedge style lifer but tbh not entirely sure how they do it, respect the decision to step away rather than dwindling away.

1. How do you think the team has done overall this season and what do you think we can do to improve if needed. - I can't speak for the whole season but I could see it was a high-scoring and leaky team when I came in. I'm not sure that's changed much but we've had a good last week of the season and stopped leaking as many goals. If we keep that up we should be a dangerous team in the playoffs. 2. Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza? - Absolutely not 3. What is your favorite restaurant? - There's this one place in Reading (UK, not Pennsylvania) which is run by Greeks and it is the best Greek food I have had outside Greece. It's one of like 3 places anywhere ever I have left a Google review (5 stars of course) - yes I was also drunk but by god the food melted in my mouth. 4. When do you think Christmas decorations should be put up? - My mom's birthday is 2 December so that's kind of ingrained in my brain as the start of Christmas even though I've long moved out. Tree went up this weekend and it will forever be thus. 5. What was your goal for your player at the beginning of this season and do you think you have met that goal. - Clearly trade deadline for me, and it was really to join a fun team where I'd be able to contribute offensively (i.e. a top two role). Full marks on all counts I think, now a playoff series upset would be the icing on the cake. 6. If you had to chose a different position for your player what would you chose? - Every single other forward I had in the VHL was a center so I would probably veer that way - my last 2 players were a dman and a goalie so it pretty much has to be winger or center. Didn't want to dump TPE into faceoffs though so here we are.

A good run into the playoffs, let's see what we can do there

More Ws and a 3 point sim, beautiful.

Week 2 of 4

A winning streak

1. What is your favorite holiday? - Tricky one, I think Easter because it's a long weekend that always seems to be the start of warm weather 2. Is this your first season playing with Miami if not when was your first season? - 'tis just the first week in Miami for young Gianni Del Rocco, possibly just a short stay but hopefully we can extend it as far as possible in the playoffs! 3. Do you think we have it in ust to get the 12 or so wins to get to the playoffs? - Well we've done it now, in spite of not being able to win that many games hahaha. Hopefully we're saving the consistent wins for the playoffs. 4. What is your favorite board game? - I'm not massive into board games tbh and when I do play it seems to be something new and random every time. Usually good fun but I can't say I really have a favourite. 5. What do you think is our team's biggest weakness? - Heh where to begin... Nah we have some good pieces but when we lose we seem to do so by a big margin. Keeping that scoreline down would boost confidence. 6. Favorite type of weather? - Early and late summer when it's not obscenely hot and you can just chuck on a pair of shorts and go through the whole day in them, whether you're inside or out.
