Yeah, I feel like this happened in S25 or something. Or maybe when we expanded in S30 since there were more teams than goalies. I'm sure every team has the unwritten right to change their CPU goalie's attributes.

Devise on a mad one on the sim this season

Yasss, needed that.

Yeah, there's actually quite a few old farts still floating about tbf. https://vhlforum.com/topic/63686-whos-still-around-from-old-cup-winning-teams-part-2/

They’d have to ban me first.

Fucking hell Funk.

Would we not run into a problem of the most active and creative people going to the same 1 or 2 brands, voting for their own brands, and creating a perpetual cycle of the rich getting richer? Not unlike real life but not necessarily what we want to create here.

Thanks I have been naked when it comes to Pavlov.

Moscow legend, RIP

Welcome back, based on a recent MS I wrote I believe you’re the only survivor of that S27 Titans team at the moment.

As we go into our third season, it's all change at the top, as we're looking to compete in Moscow. Our inaugural captain Mark Gebauer @Sova is currently less involved in the league so will not be part of the leadership group in S67 but we look forward to welcoming him back in the near future. Instead, the captains are: C - Evgeni Komarov @Gooningitup A - Dan Baillie @wcats A - Paolo Nano @leafsman After two seasons as alternate, Komarov has earned the right to wear the "C" in S67, having been a supporter of a Moscow-based franchise since the very beginning. Baillie and Nano have both been alternate captains before, Baillie in S66, Nano in S65, and as original expansion draftees they bleed black and gold. Here's to our best season yet!

Got too much respect for the goalie

Shiet really collapsed in the third

Shame you can only score when no one else is on the ice.

I’d say it was always pretty rare just because that requires competing for 5-6 seasons.

Happy to see New York have a GM again

But at least you both remember Quebec I like the rest of your teammates.

It’s absolute fucking carnage

The VHL is fucking crazy these days. There was a simpler time once where you could easily keep track of the off-season moves, split the contenders from the pretenders, and just kind of neatly make sense of it all. These days, with insane amounts of trades, ridiculously deep drafts where you don't even need 1st or 2nd round picks to still restock your talent pool, we have a situation where teams change on a whim season to season and everyone can literally beat anyone else. As the off-season drew to a close, I tried to make sense of the goings-on in the league and to my shock identified the following: Only two current members of the Vancouver Wolves, Beau Louth and Rauno Palo, played for the franchise when it was still in Quebec. That's despite, as a reminder, Quebec still had a VHL franchise in S64 – TWO SEASONS AGO. In a similar vein, the Riga Reign won the Continental Cup in S63 and have remained competitive ever since, finishing second in the regular season for three straight years and again amongst the cup favourites going into S67. Only 3 players remain on the Reign roster from that S63 triumph however – Edwin Preencarnacion, Ryan Kastelic, and Kallis Kriketers. That level of turnover is mind-boggling but makes sense when you consider both Vancouver and Riga wanted to extend their contending cycles by going hard on the S66 and S67 draft classes. However it is pretty much unparalleled in VHL history. And while you have some teams taking the traditional rebuilding route, such as Seattle fireselling to grab all of the S67 picks, you've also got Davos, who, having barely entered their competitive phase in S66, promptly blew up the team and pivoted to a younger core as well. It's good fun but fuck is it hard to keep up.

1-1-1 to start the season, love to see it.

This is what we like to see

Bruh wtf

This is a fucking all star squad tbh

I’ll put you in one.
