  1. 1. I want to win a cup with Moscow and that might take some time. I think I shouldn't burn myself out this time as the expectations are a bit lower so I reckon around 10 seasons is probably likely. 2. If it wasn't Europe I wouldn't have bothered applying, and in Europe the other options for me were Prague or London. Think I went with the most popular choice though. 3. Haha, I'm sure you'll be on the shortlist when we have vacancies but you know how it is, need to hit a lull or have some deadweight before shaking things up a bit. Pretty healthy atm. 4. I hadn't played for Riga and Seattle before Cast so glad Riga drafted me. Just Seattle left now.... and I guess Moscow but that will obviously be addressed quite soon. 5. Oof, tough one. Probably Seattle, partially because of the answer to q4, but especially cuz they're basically the American Vasteras at this point - their glory days are ancient.
  2. MOSCOW, Russia - It's business as usual in the bustling metropolis that is the Russian capital, from the tourist-heavy Red Square and the central Moscow area to the modern business hub that is Moscow-City further out. Underneath the everyday mundane surface, enthusiasm is bubbling and ready to spill over. “Muscovites have been starved of top level hockey for years now,” says Ilya Popov, a 26-year IT technician. “I will be surprised if the arena isn't sold out for the entirety of Season 65, regardless of how badly the Menace do.” The right signals have been sent out by the new VHL franchise's management and Russian fans are ready to support the team through a trying first few seasons to get to where they want to later on in the process. “As long as we don't finish ninth next season, we'll be happy I think,” Popov continues. “But even if do finish ninth, we've all Googled who Victor Alfredsson is and I think no one's going to call for his head after one or two bad seasons. We're really lucky to start off with someone with so many contacts all over the VHL.” Higher up in the Russian social circles, the powers that be in Moscow are equally impressed with Alfredsson and the new franchise. “There's a lot of goodwill towards the new franchise at the moment,” says diplomat Kirill Nababkin, a man with many ties with the Russian government. “Russia wants to send out a positive signal to the world whenever it can, like we saw with the [2018 football] World Cup, or the [2014 Sochi Winter] Olympics. Having a franchise in an international league with a large North American presence is a massive opportunity and the management has sent out a good first impression. We'll see what happens.”
  3. Prague Knights always had a good ring for me.
  4. RIG G on a mad one this sim
  5. My G with an assist Game Notes Alexander Pepper enters game at 6:39 of 1st periodHSK G enters game at 14:02 of 1st period Pretty sure it's illegal to set the pulling criteria so low. Or it should be.
  6. Interesting, very interesting.
  7. Think this will be true for the vast majority of GMs. Devise's model is the safest bet in the VHL prior to the current deep draft streak.
  8. I said one game, not one goal, I don't care about your team.
  9. Another one game sim, que?
  10. Noooo my prediction change was wrong.
  11. You can spank Quebec easily, no worries.
  12. Goodbye my lover.
  13. Probably fair to say neither really could do much with the hand they were dealt. Hope I don't need to rely on rogue free agent goalies to compete.
  14. You should be happy as a Riga player though...
  15. Oh shit they won.
  16. What is this one goal bullshit.
  17. The race to Moscow is on.
  18. Think it's just you
  19. It was a battle to put us on the path to resurrect the European Conference, so baby steps.
