I did find that take interesting tbh, having looked at Vancouver’s roster just a couple days ago (I was intrigued why they were so mediocre between the cup runs of S62 and S66 and turns out they basically had to draft a whole new team in the intervening period). So the cap situation is fair (although no one knows what the salary cap will be any given season now), but definitely don’t think they’re nearing a rebuild. Granted, I was looking at the S62 finals Game 7 thread and Will said this was just the start from Quebec which I would have agreed with at the time but now they only have Palo ad Louth left from then. So what do I know lol.

They call him Paolo Valiq.

The entertainers strike again.

This is how you use 12 power plays Helsinki.

117

I reckon that’s now Kovalchuk, Smirnov, Forsberg and maybe even Federov who would have got into the HOF if you weren’t GM.

3rd week for Cast

Now that @Banackock has actually self-sabotaged this time, it's all to play for!

Helsinki has run into some HAWT goalies today.

1 - Maxim Kovalchuk (SEA) ? But is he a center now or what @Banackock or does the portal just hell bent on changing his position?

Our goalies spitting hot fire this sim. @FacebookFighter

Moscow Menace - 12 on 12 Attempt(s) - 100.00% - Score 0 goal in Penalty Kill @Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will@Will

Since joining the VHL in Season 65, the Moscow Menace have done nothing but entertain the league and hockey fans worldwide. More recently, they've even been entertaining their own fans and their high-ranking patrons in the Russian government. Want scientific proof? Well firstly, in their inaugural season, the Menace were dog shite, successfully tanking for 1st overall. They scored 155 goals, second-lowest in the league, but thanks to a dreadful defence which saw 332 goals fly past rookie Justin Cole, Moscow games saw the most goals in the league: S65: Goals for Goals against Total Moscow 155 332 487 Seattle 275 178 453 Toronto 255 192 447 Helsinki 235 196 431 Vancouver 208 219 427 Davos 201 216 417 Riga 240 174 414 New York 197 194 391 Calgary 154 219 373 Despite such a low-scoring team, most of the goals were distributed between one line and led to a breakthrough season for captain Mark Gebauer and a Stolzschweiger Trophy for the unheralded Kyson Blake. In Season 66, the Menace got much better at scoring goals (2nd in the league despite falling far short of the playoffs) but still pretty bad at stopping them. The result - a league-leading 521 goals in Moscow games: S66: Goals for Goals against Total Moscow 238 283 521 Toronto 216 236 452 Seattle 182 261 443 Helsinki 265 176 441 Davos 227 206 433 Vancouver 222 210 432 Malmo 185 221 406 Riga 219 182 401 Calgary 207 190 397 New York 183 179 362 Such high-octane hockey now propelled Jet Jaguar to what should have been a 2nd straight rookie of the year for Moscow. And now here we are. Halfway through S67 it's more of the same. The Menace are now league leaders in goals scored and having upgraded on the rookie goalie tandem of Owen May and Chase to veteran Roger Sterling and May, are also not as bad at conceding them. Still, quite comfortably in the lead as the VHL's entertainers: S67: Goals for Goals against Total Moscow 135 118 253 New York 104 128 232 Malmo 103 125 228 Toronto 125 91 216 Seattle 93 119 212 Davos 105 106 211 Vancouver 102 107 209 Calgary 103 102 205 Riga 102 96 198 Helsinki 108 88 196 Moscow's strategy now sees their new stars Podrick Cast and Randoms among the VHL scoring leaders, despite playing on different lines. And for a perfect case study of how beneficial playing in Moscow is for individual stats, take Paolo Nano. Expansion draftee in S65, he was putting up career numbers before a midseason trade to NY saw those regress to the mean. After missing the start of S66 after NY ran into cap problems, Nano came back to Moscow and managed to put up 64 points in just 58 points. Now in what should be his first full season with Menace, the veteran Italian is once again amongst the best offensive defencemen in the league. Moscow is the team to watch and the team to play for.

Yeah I feel most people complaining about the last few seasons haven’t come to terms with the fact all 10 teams have rosters which would make the playoffs five seasons ago.

Kyson Blake is a saint

No small talk, let's get straight to it: 1. How many goalies have been crowned rookie of the year? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Matmenzinger) Note: @Jtv123 - your submitted question was a bit different so I'll use it separately in the future and you'll get the TPE then Nine as a quick CTRL+F for SV% or GAA or something similar through the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy winners would indicate. From Benoit Devereux in S10 to Apollo Skye in S51 (somewhat surprisingly the last goalie winner). 2. What goalie has the most regular season wins in their career? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @MexicanCow123 and @Zeno) Hey it's me - one of the nine goalie Stolzy winners Greg Clegane accumulated a fuckton of wins as well, beating out Tuomas Tukio and a host of others in all-time wins by the time he retired in S52. 2 capped TPE goes to: Oilmandan @oilmandan .sniffuM @.sniffuM street @street Smarch @Smarch Quik @Quik CowboyinAmerica @CowboyinAmerica Sonnet @Sonnet SidTheKid87 @SidTheKid87 Poptart @Poptart FrostBeard @FrostBeard Edustava @Edustava Sharkstrong @Sharkstrong DilIsPickle @DilIsPickle Beketov @Beketov Jubo07 @Jubo07 Patpou22 @Patpou22 BladeMaiden @BladeMaiden 73MPL4R @73MPL4R Jtv123 @Jtv123 Motzaburger @Motzaburger Esso2264 @Esso2264 trevmi @trevmi Cran @Cran Rayzor_7 @Rayzor_7 Big Mac @Big Mac Dalton Wilcox @Dalton Wilcox DoktorFunk @DoktorFunk Datools @Datools Mr_Hatter @Mr_Hatter HulkHogan @HulkHogan ahawk2191 @ahawk2191 aCrypticPancake @aCrypticPancake Bruins10 @Bruins10 fonziGG @fonziGG Beaviss @Beaviss Jbeezy76 @Jbeezy76 Tate @Tate sjs88speed @sjs88speed Enorama @Enorama NumberJ5 @NumberJ5 philliefan @Philliefan psyduck77 @Psyduck77 DMaximus @DMaximus ItsMcLovin @ItsMcLovin Dominus89 @Dominus89 MexicanCow123 @MexicanCow123 AcousticKazoo @AcousticKazoo Frozen Block @Frozen Block Mini Muu @Mini Muu Steve @Steve Tbeez99 @Tbeez99 Donno100 @Donno100 Elmebeck @Elmebeck Josh @Josh GRZ @GRZ Ace @Ace Chillzone @chillzone Acydburn @Acydburn Fire_In_Babylon @Fire_In_Babylon Hughjas_ @HughJas_ VanCanWin @VanCanWin rjfryman @rjfryman berocka @berocka Banana2311 @Banana2311 Matmenzinger @Matmenzinger mmarcoux98 @mmarcoux98 bluesfan55 @bluesfan55 stevo @stevo FerdaJets @FerdaJets Theflash @TheFlash studentized @studentized jack @jack Liberty_Cabbage @Liberty_Cabbage TheLastOlympian07 @TheLastOlympian07 sebster03 @Sebster03 Renomitsu @Renomitsu Kekzkrieg @Kekzkrieg HenrikZoiderberg @HenrikZoiderberg Strooper99 @Strooper99 omgitshim @omgitshim TacticalHammer @TacticalHammer eaglesfan036 @eaglesfan036 DizzyWithLogic @DizzyWithLogic cpetrella @cpetrella gorlab @gorlab Green @Green nethi99 @nethi99 Bushito @Bushito Phil @Phil K1NG LINUS @K1NG LINUS Zeno @Zeno xsjack @xsjack Jaga bellinger @Jaga Joubo @Joubo wcats @wcats MMFLEX @MMFLEX frescoelmo @frescoelmo DollarAndADream @DollarAndADream 11 Eleven @11 Eleven Velevra @Velevra McWolf @McWolf Gscx420 @Gscx420 SlapshotDragon @SlapshotDragon kyle @Kyle Sixersfan549 @Sixersfan549 barzalgoat @BarzalGoat Okocha5 @okocha5 Brrbisbrr @Brrbisbrr Rebacco @Rebacco cody73 @cody73 Flyersfan1453 @flyersfan1453 Banana2311 @Banana2311 GustavMattias @GustavMattias hedgehog337 @hedgehog337 JeffD @JeffD FBR @FBR TukTukTheGreat @TukTukTheGreat Zepheter @zepheter Dilly Dilly @Dilly Dilly Thranduil @Thranduil Kylrad @Kylrad leafsman @leafsman metaltoday @MetalToday 1 capped TPE goes to: Jaku @Jaku PotatoKing @PotatoKing Snussu @Snussu Greg_Di @Greg_Di
