  1. Good to take a tie back to Moscow.
  2. @frescoelmobeen on the tequila again
  3. Seattle's lines for New York ?
  4. oui oui oui*
  5. One more sleep
  6. Good thing I'm the same draft year as you then.
  7. I'd struggle to see how they wouldn't also be, or near the bottom. Think there are a lot fewer blowouts. But to get a definite answer would require a lot of digging I'm not really willing to do. ? VHLPA where you at?
  8. And so it ends, the lowest scoring season ever. It's been coming, what with the number of 100-point players dwindling season after season. In Season 66, it looked like no one might hit it, before 4 players scrambled over the mark. This was down to just two in S67 and three last year. And now here we are, at the peak of parity, or goaltending prowess, or lack of CPU backups, or whatever it is that is causing this. The VHL's dead puck era is well and truly upon us. Here are some of the statistical highlights from Season 69: With 93 points, Julian Borwinn is by some distance the lowest scoring top scorer ever. 107 was the mark to beat from Jason White in S29, although Matt Thompson (S64) and Rauno Palo (S67) got close with 110 points each. Naturally, there's been a knock-on effect on the top goal-scorer, although not quite so vivid. Julius Freeman's 44 goals leads the league in S69 and would have come close in S14 when Leander Kaelin and Matt Bailey each notched 46. Only 3 other Kevin Brooks Trophy winners have fewer than 50 goals. And finally, to assists, although Starload's 67 is still higher than the 64 put up by Palo in S67, and also Jeff Hamilton's 66 in S50. Other than Biggu Kyanon who also put up 67 in S48, it has always taken more than 70 assists to get the Beketov in the past. At least this time around there has at last been a return to the elite goaltending numbers of yesteryear. And in such a low scoring season, it will be very hard to look past Kallis Kriketers for the MVP and MOP awards, especially as only two of his teammates hit a point per game, the retiring Dahlberg and Palo hitting 78 and 74 respectively.
  9. We're back!! Fill out the form linked below. 2 correct answers = 2 capped TPE 1 correct answer = 1 capped TPE Uncapped TPE based on season leaderboard handed out at end of season. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbsQ4mFOaCcvlU7rZfcFfRiAvNxFxC1JWiBIsCabCOfubMaA/viewform?usp=sf_link I am always taking question suggestions via PM, with 1 uncapped TPE going your way for each question that ends up getting used.
  10. What a time to be alive
  11. F Love it when the old GM leaves a first round pick so the next GM gets the first piece of their rebuild straight away off the bat - @Higgins GOAT.
  12. Just the type of shenanigans you want to end the regular season with.
  13. 1. I've always like Julian Borwinn @Jubo07 for some reason, back when he was a rookie he just had that future superstar vibe about him so pleased to see I got that one right. HM to Pepper @Sonnet, love a franchise goalie who sticks from start to end. 2. Could easily go down the wire, my heart won't be able to take it but Game 7 is in the future I feel. 3. I think Vancouver deserves it and I like the way they built the team. But if we're on the other side of the finals, I'd rather face Toronto, we seem to have their number. 4. Many good ones have been brainstormed in the BOG, I feel like I'd be spoiling the fun by revealing them all now. 5. The other guy is a retiring Indian scrub, Smitty, you got this. 6. I love the ol' playoff avatar although after that backfired a bit last time might just go dry this time around.
  14. Theme Week MS: https://vhlforum.com/topic/74650-theo-matsikas-career-titan/ 8 TPE
  15. happy sunday
  16. It's only Vancouver, probs gonna get slapped by Toronto in round one anyway.
  17. Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas
  18. For me, the unsung heroes of the VHL are often the young players who go up to the big leagues knowing they will probably not make much of an impact individually but could be part of something bigger because of their role on a contending team. Now the player that comes to mind for me is a rookie on my own team, Nate Telker @Telkster. Hes had his moments this season and even that i think is a success story but as the season comes to an end he sits at 10 points, a long way behind the stars of the team like Randoms, Jaguar, and Smitty. However, this hasn't affected his morale at all, as he has been a positive presence in the locker room and we're all sure he'll play a much bigger role in the seasons to come for Moscow. So now a shoutout to the other Telkers around d the league. Riga always has a few because of hedgehog's impeccable drafting - Ryan Busser @diacope, Guy Sasakamoose @Cxsquared, Khalabib Stiopic @SweetMike666 are this season's versions. New York has Aamon Grim @aCrypticPancake and Ryo Yamazuki @Donno100. And if I missed you I'm sorry, I did this on my phone, but I'm sure your GM recognises your contributions.
  19. Sneaking in at the buzzer.
  20. So many things fell perfectly during that run, great trip down nostalgia lane. ?
  21. @Kyle you magnificent bastard.
  22. I think we've finally moved on from it but the blind following of TPE to pick players by GMs was always mind-boggling. When you know someone like Silky is gonna come in with 6 TPE a week and no more, why not take risk on a first gen? Never made sense to me but you could pretty much plan a draft by predicting which GMs would make that mistake.
