Been great to see the excitement around the draft class, hope everyone enjoys their road to the VHL.

Teno currently on pace to beat S88 Teno into 3rd best playoff save percentage ever.

Bucatini's just in it digging for the Del Rocco family jewels isn't she?

The two highest-rated prospects in the S93 VHL Entry Draft are both Italian and also... a couple? After Antonia Bucatini's Founder's Cup hopes were ended in the semi-finals, she was seen having lunch with fellow draftee Gianni Del Rocco in his hometown of Savona, Italy before both were spotted by paparazzi in a high-end trendy bar up in Milan later that evening. Del Rocco's San Diego Marlins were of course knocked out by Bucatini's Houston Bulls in the previous round of the playoffs and rumours are now swirling that she not only ended his VHLM championship dreams but also stole his heart. Neither agency responded when approached for comment, but the tabloid headlines will have certainly reached desks of VHL GMs in the draft lottery positions for S93. They will be musing what this potential power couple might mean in terms of trying to get both on the same team, but also if things go south, what would be the personal implications for both. With both Italians expected to spend a season in closer to home in the VHLE in S93, with regular visits to the Rome Gladiators (if neither gets drafted by them), expect this story to continue swirling around the VHL rumour mill, regardless if the young prospects come out denying it. A fiery development in what is already an exotic draft class.

Week 3 of 4

Some random bits on the playoffs so far Malmo Nighthawks clinch Victory Cup... and get swept in round one, extending the record streak of Victory Cup winners not making it to the finals. Malmo is the 9th straight regular season winner to fail to win their conference, by far the worst streak in VHL history and a pointer to the Victory Cup curse perhaps being very real. Just before this slump, in peak meta era, S79 Malmo and S80-S82 Vancouver all completed the Victory and Continental Cup double. S83 Moscow made the finals but since S84 Moscow failed to match that every regular season champion has been doomed to an early playoff exit. Who will break the curse? Does anyone want to win the Victory Cup anymore? Toronto upset NA top seed Calgary in a first round of shocks, while for the Legion that means they continue to fight back against one of the most lopsided historical playoff match-ups. Since the Wranglers beat the Legion in both S2 and S3 (and S7 and S8), they have retained an advantage over the years, with 11 wins to Toronto's 6. But the Legion have won two of the last three series (S83 and now S92) so may be turning the tide. By contrast this is the first time D.C. and Toronto have met in the playoffs, the second unique match-up this season after London's sweep of Malmo in their first ever meeting. If London or D.C. win their series, whoever they face in the finals will be for the first time, so only a Toronto vs Helsinki repeat would have historical precedent (the Legion won last season and in 3 of the previous 4 encounters – S48, S64, and S65)

Well at least I predicted Helsinki and Moscow would go to Game 7.
