Getting real tired of this team.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Noice.

Ffs Aleksander Rodriguez

I’m trying to screw you all.

Very good very nice

@Mr_Hatter might have to lose his NY privileges

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/1FAIpQLSfpbcvV7HLbc-OlUeGo8Tto_QTjOaX_G_j6IU7JIrMWbqWfbA/viewform?usp=sf_link

You not banking against depreciation doesn't help, now that Ironside is a 500 TPA player instead of 1,200 TPE.

Actually it was you not Phil. @Phil don't you dare claim that 1 uncapped TPE.

Hello and welcome to the first trivia results of S68. Here were the correct answers: 1. Who was the first American inducted into the Hall of Fame? Mike Szatkowski, proudly representing the stars and stripes, retired in S10 and was promptly inducted right after that in S11. Of the previous 12 inductees, not one was from the US, including Scotty Campbell (Swiss) and Alex McNeil (Canadian). The other option on the poll, Mike's longtime linemate Brannan Anthony, was a fellow American but despite retiring earlier, was not inducted into the HOF until S12. Side note: As someone asked if question meant players from the USA or players who played for New York, as clarified it was US Americans rather than NY Americans. Notably, NYA didn't come into existence until S7 and the first NY player inducted was Alexander Beketov (by virtue of spending the start of S7 with NY after their move from Hamilton and before his own move to Vasteras). 2. Who was the first player to win the Brett Slobodzian Trophy for a season in which they were traded midway through? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Phil) It was the man who asked the question - Phil Rafter, who split S32 between Davos and Helsinki. It was also the first season that the Slobo Trophy became the 'most outstanding' rather than 'most valuable', which makes sense as it would be odd to award MVP to someone who was traded midway through the season. Even so, it's still a rare occurrence but Lindberg (S40) and Jarvi (S53) are two players who followed Rafter's lead since. 2 capped TPE goes to: gorlab @gorlab Beketov @Beketov Enorama @Enorama OrbitingDeath @OrbitingDeath Tuktukthegreat @TukTukTheGreat McWolf @McWolf Kekzkrieg @Kekzkrieg GustavMattias @GustavMattias Berocka @berocka Banana2311 @Banana2311 philliefan @Philliefan Snussu @Snussu ItsMcLovin @ItsMcLovin Telkster @Telkster Esso2264 @Esso2264 Thatguy91 @Thatguy91 nethi99 @nethi99 Cxsquared @Cxsquared Steve @Steve Juddy @Juddy JeffD @JeffD Patpou22 @Patpou22 GRZ @GRZ Greg_Di @Greg_Di Phil @Phil R jubis @R Jubis majesiu @majesiu HenrikZoiderberg @HenrikZoiderberg Edustava @Edustava .sniffuM @.sniffuM DoktorFunk @DoktorFunk Jayrad28 @Jayrad28 Liberty_cabbage @Liberty_Cabbage enigmatic @enigmatic bluesfan55 @bluesfan55 leafsman @leafsman Uphillmoss @uphillmoss Beaviss @Beaviss Poptart @Poptart Mr_Hatter @Mr_Hatter 11 Eleven @11 Eleven Jbeezy76 @Jbeezy76 Acydburn @Acydburn Erik Summers @Erik Summers Quik @Quik Jubo07 @Jubo07 Sonnet @Sonnet Tbeezy99 @Tbeez99 studentized @studentized BarzalGoat @BarzalGoat Jaku @Jaku Tagger @Tagger MexicanCow123 @MexicanCow123 KC Philip @KC Philip Jtv123 @Jtv123 Motzaburger @Motzaburger okocha5 @okocha5 rjfryman @rjfryman Tape-to-Tape @Tape-to-Tape Tate @Tate Fire_In_Babylon @Fire_In_Babylon DilIsPickle @DilIsPickle DMaximus @DMaximus Sharkstrong @Sharkstrong Ahma @Ahma Josh @Josh VanCanWin @VanCanWin Apoc_Chaos @Apoc_Chaos SidTheKid87 @SidTheKid87 Dalton Wilcox @Dalton Wilcox Velevra @Velevra Anthony Matthews @Anthony Matthews NumberJ5 @NumberJ5 Renomitsu @Renomitsu sjs88speed @sjs88speed Matmenzinger @Matmenzinger Tomato Soup @Tomato Soup FonziGG @fonziGG MMFLEX @MMFLEX ComplexRevo @ComplexRevo funkydave @funkydave BladeMaiden @BladeMaiden HulkHogan @HulkHogan Elmebeck @Elmebeck JohnOQuinn @JohnOQuinn diacope @diacope SDCore @SDCore Smarch @Smarch Brrbisbrr @Brrbisbrr wcats @wcats Kyle @Kyle Matt_O @Matt_O BigBallerFromDownUnder @BigBallerFromDownUnder Midnite @Midnite Oilmandan @oilmandan Nykonax @Nykonax Grape @Grape SlapshotDragon @SlapshotDragon monkeywrench15 @monkeywrench15 Donno100 @Donno100 Hughjas_ @HughJas_ Joubo @Joubo DangerGolding @DangerGolding Strooper99 @Strooper99 Rayzor_7 @Rayzor_7 Infernal @Infernal Apoc_Chaos @Apoc_Chaos Chris Murphy @Ckbruinfan - use your username please Briedaqueduc @Briedaqueduc DollarAndADream @DollarAndADream Bushito @Bushito MacH @MacH FrostBeard @FrostBeard Omgitshim @omgitshim Sebster03 @Sebster03 73MPL4R @73MPL4R SweetMike666 @SweetMike666 funkydave @funkydave Bruins10 @Bruins10 Patrik Tallinder @Patrik Tallinder flyersfan1453 @flyersfan1453 Peace @Peace TheLastOlympian07 @TheLastOlympian07 Xdpark @xDParK littleboi @littleboi CowboyinAmerica @CowboyinAmerica stevo @stevo jRuutu @jRuutu Saelven88 @Saelven88 hewasajazzman @hewasajazzman TacticalHammer @TacticalHammer chillzone @chillzone Kylrad @Kylrad Sade @Sade Walter Fizz @Walter Fizz Big Mac @Big Mac hedgehog337 @hedgehog337 Benson @Benson Zeno @Zeno fever95 @fever95 LefLop @LefLop 1 capped TPE goes to: Elhandon @Elhandon Frank @Frank ViperXhawks19 @Viperxhawks19 Cartoes @cartoes

Fucking yahoo

Not gonna complain about two wins but did my lines not come through @Beketov?

1. Less decent now actually, not really sure why we're conceding so many shots but it certainly makes May work and he's having his best season yet. 2. Everyone kinda tbh. I think Helsinki is the strongest and then Riga so if we focus on securing a playoff spot, then it's down between us, Davos, and Malmo. 5. Before the season would have gone for Vancouver or Calgary, now that Calgary is off the pace a bit it's gotta be the Wolves. Weaker than last season but still cup champions, think they're the best that conference has to offer. 6. I seem to always pick 1st or 6th, which means I always have back-to-back picks which I do like. Unfortunately this season I forgot at one point and had to make 4 picks in a row when I was next tagged so I'm not expecting much at this point lol. Always pick defencemen over forwards though, they're more valuable. 7. Yeah, @leafsman who ended up picking my guy Pavlov in the draft. I picked myself so that's probably why we're fucked. 9. Went all out to combat depreciation, doesn't seem to be paying off though.

Also 2,500 words so another week for Cast oh yeahhhh

Tukio and Rift being GM goalies undermines the "draft" part but potentially the best there was...

In light of @Ahma sending all VHL General Managers his regular pre-draft “don't draft me I only want to play for Davos” message, as well as the Dynamo somewhat surprisingly retiring the number of his most recent career Davos player – Alvaro Jokinen – after a career which saw 2 playoff appearances in 6 seasons. That got me thinking, has Ahma cursed Davos? You might have seen me occasionally point out how unbelievably good Davos was in the first half of their history. The headline stat remains 8 Continental Cups in the first 28 seasons (S11-S38) of the franchise moving to Switzerland. That run ended after my GM reign (S35-S39) which brought the last 2 cups in 4 finals appearances, as my successor CoachReilly ran into some bad luck and couldn't get into the finals in the early 40s. That was also when Ahma joined the league with Simon Valmount drafted by Riga in S44. He would soon end up on Davos and by S47 was the team's new GM. He then went inactive, needing Vladamir Komarov @Gooningitup to pick up the pieces and bring a ragtag group to Game 7 against the threepeating Toronto in S50. Since then, the Dynamo have made 2 other finals appearances (another underdog run in S56 and finally a drought-ending cup win in S61). Fittingly, Ahma, although having made a return to Davos in S61, did not make his debut with Jokinen until S62, with the seasons since being much more like recent Davos and not like the glory days of old. Ironically, Ahma's only Continental Cup win came with Helsinki in S55, a city and team he openly hates. So then, has Davos been infected by an Ahma curse? Or was it the fact Coach fucking changed the logo for no reason from to ?

Ryuu Crimson @Kylrad

Low key though S45 (Cleganes and Ariel Weinstein) also up there.

Eh 50/50 on the shootouts this sim, it’ll do.

Needed this. Everyone came to play in the shootout.

Yup they went full firesale. That was also my first gens rookie season (goalie on an almost equally shit New York) so I remember it vividly.

Looks like S11 Toronto has 3 wins: https://vhlforum.com/topic/9275-single-season-team-records/
