I was not going to come back for long and then S62 happened.

Worst S61 draftee. Worse than Aamo.

So this is a very low scoring season in the VHL. With 7 games to go, only 3 players are on pace for 100 points – while will require a point-per-game pace or better for all of Jake Davis, Julian Borwinn, and Sebastian Ironside. Whichever one of them ends up top scorer will likely beat the record set by Jason White in S29 as the lowest-scoring top scorer with 107 points. The equivalent “record” for top goal-scorers was Leander Kaelin's 46 scored back in S14 – Matt Thompson still needs another 4 goals to make sure he beats that. There has never been a season where no player hit 100 points. S14 was one of the lowest-scoring from memory – this was the only time a defenceman, Tomas Jenskovic, led the league in scoring with 112 points. As the indexes before S18 have been lost, I don't know exactly how many players hit 100 points that season but I think it was 3 or 4. I know for a fact there were a lot of New York players in the top 10 scorers and of the 2 Hall of Famers they had Zach Arce didn't hit the mark while Grimm Jonsson just got 100. Since then, 5 players hit 100 in S22 and then 4 in S29, and 5 again in S30. 5 hit the mark in S47 and S48. The current record appears to have been set in S50, when only Unassisted, Tom Lincoln, and Aleksi Koponen – all on Quebec – got 100 points. At least back then that could be explained by the goaltending stats being put up by the likes of the Cleganes and Hans Wingate but no one is really putting up great numbers in net at the moment. We'll have to see if this is the new normal or a one-off.

Hahahahahaha I don’t know whether to be happy for Moscow or sad for Riga. I out Chase in for some games against Helsinki and Riga because they were the ones we weren’t gonna win anyway.....

Looks like our good run is over.

You know the drill: 2 correct answers = 2 capped TPE 1 correct answer = 1 capped TPE All correct answers added up to the S66 leaderboard which hands out uncapped TPE at the end of the season. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfsLsFpZNl1EBLTVeZPhCeXXAAOcmZrWuyEaXXSMatGZGiRyw/viewform?usp=sf_link

making sure you had something to fill the portal out with ?

I've thrown in some rough numbers into the spreadsheet - doesn't account for any absences in between and obviously the fact most people will have contributed more at the start of their time than near the end (with a few exceptions). 20 seasons+ is a pretty good guide but depends on scale of achievements etc.

Nah, 8 weeks is standard but then off-seasons have to be accounted for as well.

Only 2 and a bit with 2-month seasons.

So @Positivefan036 has inspired my VHL.com article for this week by talking about how he should be a Builder. He presents a solid case for himself but made me wonder - what is it that we look for in Builders when deciding on them in the Hall of Fame? Well here's a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KYxzieOVyjsU5ULnYetUHdTKVEHbfEcV9BM2Wxjv2g8/edit?usp=sharing So, there have been 33 Builders inducted into the VHL Hall of Fame since the first Builder induction in S19. Of these, 30 have been VHL GMs at one point or another, and 24 have been members of the Board of Governors. The concepts seem to go hand in hand but it almost feels like in most cases those two roles come from being a Builder rather than helping someone's case as a Builder (with a few obvious exceptions like Pensfan, Greg, Mike and perhaps in the future someone like Bana, hedgehog or Bushito). There's a few entries who have some unique roles like setting up the VHL Magazine, or doing a lot of GFX, or contributing to recruitment. Guaranteed boubabi would have gotten in on that basis alone if he hadn't lost his head. Looking forward, there's probably a role there for someone like Beaviss, although he probably needs another 10-15 seasons under his belt. 21 of the Builders have been either VHL or VHLM commissioner (Smarch and flyersfan spending some time in both roles). That understandably goes a long way, and while I am fairly certain we've inducted every VHL commish other than Quik, I don't have a full memory of all VHLM commishes and don't know if anyone other than eaglesfan and Bana is waiting for their call. I know Damien was VHLM commish for a bit but there might have been other omissions (Corco? Probably). Overall, there's no real rhyme or reason to who gets into the HOF as a Builder - there's not even a guaranteed slot every season. But eaglesfan's little self promotion might just be enough to get him as on all accounts it is merited.

Oh Chase

I’ve always done them like this other than the few weeks this season where I feel behind.

Ah ffs I can't read. Updating OP.

Back on schedule at last: 1. The Toronto Legion famously 'threepeated' as cup champions in S50. What is the closest any other team has come to achieving this feat? This was your trick question of the season as other than Toronto, no back-to-back champion actually came that close to a realistic threepeat (i.e. they were chasing an actual 3rd straight cup and made it as far as the finals). And I actually had the wrong myself - I thought the answer was 3 wins, achieved by all of the following: S20-S22 Toronto (Game 7 losers in S20, Game 6 losers in S22) S31-S33 New York (Game 7 losers in S31, Game 6 losers in S33) S39-S41 New York (Game 5 losers in S40) S42-S44 Cologne (Game 7 losers in S43, Game 6 losers in S44) S61-S63 Calgary (Game 7 losers in S61, Game 6 losers in S63) But no, you were actually all right - S1 Calgary losing in Game 6 and then winning in S2 and S3 means that they were closest to kicking the VHL off with a threepeat and were just 2 wins away from doing so. Basically though, no one else has come close and Toronto were 1 win away from a fourpeat to boot. 2. What is the most Sam Pollock Memorial/David Knight Trophies won as the VHL's top GM in a single tenure without winning a Continental Cup? (1 uncapped TPE for @Quik for this one) So only four people got this right?? I thought this was the easier one of the two. As per this thread (https://vhlforum.com/topic/1060-vhl-all-time-gms/), Streetlight with New York and then both boubabi and Advantage with Stockholm were named top GM twice but didn't win a championship in that tenure.

Dayum I came to play. Good thing we’ll be on the same team next season @FacebookFighter Great shift Asia, well deserved bronze!

Cast with several multi point games in one sim what year is it?

Unreal.

In new look all parity VHL it’s not rewarding to build anyone.

@street again And week 3 for Pavlov.

@street wherever I mentioned your name. Also week 3 for Cast.

Fucking hell we’re coming for the playoffs lol.

Beating Vancouver isn’t even an achievement anymore, might start Chase next time.

Your MCM can’t inspire this level of blind faith.

My man used to play for the Vikings, respect the old man.
