Apologies for the delay, and week 5 will be postponed to Monday. Just recharging this week. 1. Which VHL GM has/had the longest continuous dry spell without winning a cup (only counting seasons where they were GM)? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Acydburn) Some adding up would be required for this one, but if you used the spreadsheet in the all-time GMs tracker, you'd have got the right answer. For now, it's Tyler Barabash @Bushito, the man who went inactive just before his team won the cup in S31 (Davos) and S43 (Seattle), before finally get his hands on the championship in S62 with Calgary, in his 18th season as GM. Unless Malmo wins it all this season, he will be tied by Chris Miller @Advantage who is currently 16 seasons removed from his last cup with New York in S41 (having attempted to turn around the fortunes of the now-defunct Stockholm and Cologne since). Jason Glasser @diamond_ace is on 12 seasons, last winning with Calgary in S30, while we'll probably never see Lucas Tannahill again after he spent 13 seasons chasing a repeat of the S1 heroics with Vasteras. 2. Who was the first player to win the Labatte Trophy with a +/- below 0? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Enorama) It took until S15, when Alexander Sauve, traded from a rebuilding Calgary to a contending Toronto, put up a -10 rating for the season but voters weren't scared off as he was the clear best talent on the blue line with a whopping 101 points. Despite grabbing some cups when he came back to Calgary later, Sauve would be one of the longest-waiting HOF ballot members, getting inducted only in S34. Only 3 Labatte winners have achieved the same feat - co-winner Godavari Yumalatopinto in S38 and Joseph McWolf and Samuel Gate in very recent memory. 2 capped TPE goes to: GustavMattias @GustavMattias DoktorFunk @DoktorFunk JDGraves @JDGraves Berocka @Berocka Banana2311 @Banana2311 Josh @Josh Jubis @Jubis Krice13 @Krice13 Gaudette @Gaudette Spyro @Spyro BladeMaiden @BladeMaiden TacticalHammer @TacticalHammer enigmatic @enigmatic diamond_ace @diamond_ace Hulkhogan @HulkHogan Smarch @Smarch Esso2264 @Esso2264 Elmebeck @Elmebeck omgitshim @omgitshim Steve @Steve chillzone @chillzone SlapshotDragon @SlapshotDragon McWolf @McWolf Maasa @Maasa Acydburn @Acydburn Erik Summers @Erik Summers Gwdjohnson @Gwdjohnson Tagger @Tagger studentized @studentized goldenglutes @goldenglutes Zepheter @zepheter DilIsPickle @DilIsPickle Lockdown Defense @Lockdown Defense Jayden Zelinsky @Jayden Zelinsky Thranduil @Thranduil Walter Fizz @Walter Fizz Oilmandan @oilmandan fever95 @fever95 LefLop @LefLop Velevra @Velevra cxsquared @Cxsquared sjs88speed @sjs88speed Edustava @Edustava Enorama @Enorama KC15 @KC15 TheFlash @TheFlash majesiu @majesiu Snussu @Snussu cjc_24 @cjc_24 DirtyDerek @DirtyDerek Corco @Corco Spaz @Spaz Beketov @Beketov GRZ @GRZ CowboyinAmerica @CowboyinAmerica Mr_Hatter @Mr_Hatter ShawnGlade @ShawnGlade philliefan @Philliefan Beaviss @Beaviss Eaglesfan036 @eaglesfan036 rjfryman @rjfryman Dalton Wilcox @Dalton Wilcox Harpskii @Harpskii DMaximus @DMaximus ROOKIE745 @ROOKIE745 Greg_Di @Greg_Di Grant @Grant JBeezy76 @Jbeezy76 predsfan59 @predsfan59 monkeywrench15 @monkeywrench15 jRuutu @jRuutu Kekzkrieg @Kekzkrieg Peace @Peace STZ @STZ Jackie4967 @Jackie4967 gorlab @gorlab Tate @Tate Garsh @Garsh Matmenzinger @Matmenzinger Jtv123 @Jtv123 DollarAndADream @DollarAndADream Sebster03 @Sebster03 Rayzor_7 @Rayzor_7 Renomitsu @Renomitsu leafsman @leafsman Kyle @Kyle nykonax @Nykonax Liberty_Cabbage @Liberty_Cabbage hedgehog337 @hedgehog337 ItsMcLovin @McLovin - is that right, i dunno AndrewWarren13 @AndrewWarren13 Cornholio @Cornholio Dilly Dilly @Dilly Dilly animal74 @animal74 Cartoes @cartoes OrbitingDeath @OrbitingDeath JeffD @JeffD wcats @wcats Carlunts @CarlUnts Austin2997 @Austin2997 Grape @Grape Patrik Tallinder @Patrik Tallinder frescoelmo @frescoelmo Daxoftheflame @Daxoftheflame Anthony Matthews @Anthony Matthews Cusemode @Cusemode flyersfan1453 @flyersfan1453 .sniffuM @.sniffuM aye my name jeff @Aye my name jeff HenrikZoiderberg @HenrikZoiderberg 73MPL4R @73MPL4R dirtyderek @DirtyDerek leafsman @leafsman Patpou22 @Patpou22 1 capped TPE goes to: Frank @Frank Sonnet @Sonnet Jubo07 @Jubo07 Alden Hall @Alden Hall Tape-To-Tape @Tape-to-Tape PadStack @PadStack MMFLEX @MMFLEX Antone10 @Antone10

ye

Clayton Park > Finn Davison obviously

Hired.

ONE MORE WEEK

Good riddance.

Very nice

Close but wonderful

Greetings

What a run that was.

THE PROPHECY NEVER LIES

Noice noice

2 whole TPE holy fuck

So realistically we need to face all 3 teams with as good a Fenwick percentage if we reach the finals.

I should start playing Bernard in these games, Davison clearly gets too emotional.

PURE GRIT

Any excuse for ABBA

a man after midnight WON'T SOMEBODY HELP ME CHASE THE SHADOWS AWAY

Well at least @Telkster showed up to this one.

Merry Christmas you wankers

Good stuff.

Whoa

Kriketers is a man possessed this season.

That does make sense, we did have an easy schedule to start and then began to slump when we faced other contenders. But then we got Davison.
