The real drama is I haven't given a shout out to our other OG expansion draftee - the Italian Stallion Paolo Nano @leafsman. The man is a Moscow legend.

Don't make me lock this piece of historical heritage

Which fucking snowflake locked this innocent banter thread

no

Did you cut this off before saying "Probably the best team in Seattle ever" cuz I'm gonna slap you.

Clearly you're talking to the wrong higher ups.

Actually quite cheap for a high earning S66 on second viewing. Not sure if there was much of a market mind.

Literally always 1st or 6th, wtf. Julian Borwinn @Acydburn

fucking Vasteras would have made the playoffs in NA last season

Can't even see Vancouver on the screenshot fella

Davos really took those OTLs just to waste everyone's time in the first round smh

Fine. I did fix him via the admin CP today so should be all good.

No one wants to be rivals with some sickly eagles.

Rivals can win playoff games against each other.

Ah if only they had Pavlov.

Bronze winning goal and into the sunset he rides.

I wasn't, Bjornsson didn't count against the cap and I sent Foilen down (and in fact could have kept Petrovic in the VHLM too).

I know you're in Malmo now but it's not actually hell yet.

Putting HHH over Jaguar, smh @gorlab

As training camp comes to a close around the VHL, an unfamiliar sight has startled Moscow's hockey fans – a lack of Russians in their local Menace team. After three seasons of declining returns from fifth overall pick Dimitri Volosenkov, his contract was allowed to run down into free agency. While this was more or less accepted by the masses, there was more consternation over the decision to sacrifice former captain and Menace lifer Evgeni Komarov to accommodate overseas free agent signings. From three Russians in the team, Moscow now retains only Vladimir Pavlov, the former child prodigy now increasingly seen as the puppet of the man in charge of the de-Russianification of the Menace: GM Victor Alfredsson. “Look, my remit is to build a competitive team in Moscow,” Mr Alfredsson recently snapped back at reporters, “No one told me it had to be done with exclusively local talent. If there's no Russians worthy of playing for a cup contender in the VHL, then there are no Russians worthy of playing for Moscow.” It was the latest event in an increasingly tense relationship between Alfredsson, the man who brought VHL hockey to Moscow, and his team's fans. Following the failure to secure a playoff spot in star forward Podrick Cast's final season it appeared the GM's position was on increasingly thin ice, although less extreme fans have been placated by the double signing of Davos' Gritty and Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen. However, rumours are swirling that the decision to bring in another veteran VHL GM in Austin Gow as Alfredsson's assistant is a contingency plan by ownership if things go south for Moscow in S69. This could be a situation to watch as it develops.

1,119 words, here's week 2.

Shame it was a short stay in Moscow @Tyler, but realistically we have 4 S65-S67 defencemen ahead of you on the depth chart this season and 2 more S68 ones in the VHLM now, so someone was going to have to go eventually. Go stop Davos from being shit again.

Can't get away from you.

Pepper no

@monkeywrench15 was it your intention to play in S69? If so, portal be buggin @Will
