Pavlov.

1) Europe 2) Canada 3) USA MVP: Jack Lynch

Hey the WJC is here, that's a tournament I've never participated in before! I have done a great job of ignoring most of Pavlov's games so will probably ignore these too. But extra TPE available so YES. Let's look at the teams. World: That's my team. No, that's Asia. World is the mercenaries of the WJC I think so hasn't been named yet. Fine. Asia: That's my team. Russia is mainly in Asia tbf, although most of the population is in Europe. Anyway, I love the amount of names ending in -ov here. Pavlov, Mikhailov, Kozlov, the list goes on. Can't wait to join up with Komarov and Volosenkov in the big tournament. Europe: This is like Scandinavia and Europe combined? It's got my doppelganger Codrick Past and the greatest villain of all time, Hans Gruber. Also Moscow represented by Tocco and May. Good team, probably. Canada: Always a good team. This year featuring five (5!) members from Moscow. Guess I have to support them. USA: The enemy. Enough said. Using this new found knowledge, I will now go copy someone's WJC predictions. Bye.

A couple of Moscow announcements deep into S66. Firstly, our captains for this season: C - Mark Gebauer @Sova A - Evgeni Komarov @Gooningitup A - Dan Baillie @wcats Our original players form the core of our leadership team for the second season running, 3 players who bleed black and gold. The only change is Baillie officially getting a letter after Nano's brief stint abroad (but god does @leafsman love it here). Secondly, I have an assistant GM to announce! The man who set up our Discord, our press conference and is an important mouthpiece of the young franchise around the VHL (oh and our franchise goaltender), @FacebookFighter has earned the opportunity to be Moscow AGM. Although I don't know what his duties exactly will be yet, I look forward to working with Owen May in an official capacity.

I get knocked down But I get up again You are never gonna keep me down

Heartbreaking.

Big L for Komarov.

Yeah, as long as you do all the other weeks.

Nothing's showing up on my side I'm afraid.

Cool story, still moving this the fuck into team announcements.

What a time to be alive.

Right, here we go, almost back on track. Until we won't be again next week as I won't be on a laptop til Wednesday looool. Week 1 answers: 1. How many cities got VHL franchises since the end of Season 30? (1 uncapped TPE to @DoubleCarl for the inspiration for this one) I was tempted to put 'new' cities and make the correct answer 5 since Stockholm already had a VHL team before S30 once, but decided to be nice and the right answer is six. In S31, the VHL expanded into Quebec and Cologne, then Vasteras moved to Stockholm in S41. None of those teams exist now..... But we did get Quebec moving to Vancouver, while expanding into Malmo and Moscow. Let's see how long we last in these 3 cities. 2. Which country has won the most Continental Cups? (1 uncapped TPE to @xDParK for the inspiration for this one) It's closer than you might think, but Canada does lead the way with Toronto and Calgary both on 9, while Quebec's 2 put the home of hockey at 20 championships. Seattle and New York provide the USA with 14, followed by Finland (Helsinki) on 10. Davos as a franchise also has 10 but 1 of those came while they were still in Russia, not Switzerland. Then it's Latvia on 8 with Riga, while poor Sweden has only mustered 2 Continental Cups across three franchises (OK, including Malmo is a bit unfair). Now fuck me sideways for having to do this tagging.... 2 capped TPE goes to: barzalgoat @BarzalGoat Boone Jenton @FakeJenton- PLEASE USE YOUR ACTUAL USERNAME Beketov - @Beketov Jubo07 @Jubo07 BladeMaiden @BladeMaiden 11 Eleven @11 Eleven Psanchez55 @Psanchez55 Jables @Jables GustavMattias @GustavMattias No_dangles @No_Dangles HulkHogan @HulkHogan DoktorFunk @DoktorFunk Gabella19 @Gabella19 cpetrella @cpetrella TheFlash @TheFlash Smarch @Smarch Gaudette @Gaudette Nacho @Nacci25 - PLEASE USE YOUR ACTUAL USERNAME ahawk2191 @ahawk2191 FacebookFighter @FacebookFighter Matmenzinger @Matmenzinger gorlab @gorlab Renomitsu @Renomitsu VanCanWin @VanCanWin omgitshim @omgitshim K1NG LINUS @K1NG LINUS Phil @Phil okocha5 @okocha5 Esso2264 @Esso2264 Jtv123 @Jtv123 gregreg @gregreg Velevra @Velevra Saelven88 @Saelven88 motzaburger @Motzaburger cody73 @cody73 SlapshotDragon @SlapshotDragon HenrikZoiderberg @HenrikZoiderberg littleboi @littleboi mmarcoux98 @mmarcoux98 Boom @BOOM Patpou22 @Patpou22 ItssYoBoiDaLegend @ItssYoBoiDaLegend Bucky___lastard @Bucky___lastard Snussu @Snussu Thranduil @Thranduil berocka @berocka StamkosFan @StamkosFan SomerndmDude @SomerndmDude raghas @raghas Green @Green Radcow @Radcow Rayzor_7 @Rayzor_7 SirRupertBarnes @SirRupertBarnes PenKnight @PenKnight Sonnet @Sonnet jRuutu @jRuutu Ahma @Ahma Leafssteen @leafssteen trevmi @trevmi Inf1d3l @Inf1d3l DMaximus @DMaximus Dominus89 @Dominus89 SidTheKid87 @SidTheKid87 leafsman @leafsman Boheem @Boheem Hughjas_ @HughJas_ Quik @Quik RunnerBert11 @RunnerBert11 kyle @Kyle ItsFinnishDaniel @ItsFinnishDaniel FBR @FBR Enorama @Enorama GRZ @GRZ FrostBeard @FrostBeard Sharkstrong @Sharkstrong TacticalHammer @TacticalHammer Anthony Matthews @Anthony Matthews DilIsPickle @DilIsPickle Xdpark @xDParK ItsMcLovin @ItsMcLovin Joubo @Joubo rjfryman @rjfryman nethi99 @nethi99 flyersfan1453 @flyersfan1453 bukss_a @bukss_a hedgehog337 @hedgehog337 Walter Fizz @Walter Fizz PapaGage @PapaGage Kylrad @Kylrad DollarAndADream @DollarAndADream Big Mac @Big Mac Cran @Cran jblock3 @jblock3 Sullvino @Sullvino Kuch9 @Kuch9 Oost @Oost Toasty @Toasty havey @harvey - I assume, typo?

Fair enough yeah lol.

you're in the same conference....

That was a decent game?

Wow we are so bipolar.

Hahaha yes we got 10 wins

I should also add that with the Unsullied sailing off, was there anyone left who even cared about Jon killing Dany? Though don’t get me started on there even being any unsullied and Dothraki left after ep 3.

I just wanna know why Jon told anyone he killed Dany and what the hell is the point of the nights watch now?

Paolo Nano is the only correct answer.

Is Stark a GM player too? @Banackock

Week 1 results will be revealed in the coming day or two, just not at half 11 when I need to tag 144 people. But to not fall behind, here's a very defenseman heavy week 2 - same rules, answer for capped TPE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9HNr43Ft4e5E4kt56mmcP1c1pDoSfum_QpY50u0jF891VoA/viewform?usp=sf_link

1. I think we're already showing promising signs, currently the highest goalscorers in the league! I will certainly be looking for opportunities to add to the team in the off-season but even this core on its own I believe is capable of taking a big step up in S67. 2. Logically, they should, but nothing is logical anymore. I think that yes, they've got their big wins early on but are not truly a playoff team. However, the advantage (heh) they now have might just carry them into the postseason. 3. Currently I am not adding to face offs with Pavlov so yes, that is the plan. We have 3 in fact with McDavid as well, so there is no need for Pavlov to be a center. 4. There have been a few instances, going as far back as S11 Davos, but more importantly now so many teams have unconventional rosters by VHL standards that anything is possible. 5. Partially yes, but I don't think the minutes are that much lower to explain it. I should just be doing better and I'm glad I have another team's results to pay attention to otherwise I'd be quite frustrated. 6. Well they're not bottom now and I didn't expect them to be long. Having the second worst goalie in the league is a risky strategy though and the playoffs are under serious threat. 7. I'm going to be honest, I haven't paid much attention to it and might not as I just have my first two picks. If it's not deeper than S66, I do think it looks deeper than any other pre S66 draft so still pretty amazing. 8. Again, I'd need to have a closer look but I don't think anything is in the works at the moment. There is just about enough space I believe as a few teams are carrying players who can be discarded. 9. Well that's the alternative. I prefer expansion to raising the cap, but also want at least a couple seasons of no change lol. That is usually out of our hands though. 10. I did feel sorry for Nano so now I brought him to where he truly belongs. And now I feel even more sorry for him because if he never left last season or signed straight back in Moscow in the off-season he'd have unreal stats over the past two seasons. Already nearly our top scorer lol. Nano + Moscow is just a perfect combination.

Can't top S62 offensively so might as well make a name for myself as a fighter.

so close to double digit wins now.
