I have the worst luck so 3, everyone else should avoid this number now.

Ryuuuuuuuuuuuu! Great team, pleasure to win a championship with all of you. Now we go again! Well played Calgary, you've been the team to beat these past three seasons. If it's over for you now, you've had a good run.

Were there points made the other way or was it just blackmail from Bush and Beaviss?

Being an AGM is just extra muddying of the waters for why.

fucking millenials

well there ya go, league's gone soft

BladeMaiden's credentials are irrlevant in my eyes here. How can someone who will likely end up on a rival team be your assistant GM? You've got a contending team with active members, no one could step up to help you out from within?

Just realised this series ended the longest wait between two teams meeting in the playoffs..... since Season 8! https://vhlforum.com/topic/52282-an-all-encompassing-playoff-spreadsheet/

Sorry what. League's gone soft.

This season we have corrected a major fuck-up, restoring the Labatte to its previous glory after a 4-season absence and introducing the Valiq. However, given the Labatte for 4 seasons was effectively the Valiq, the winners of 1 award were moved to another and its place?... Nothing. A void in the history books. The idea of going back and deciding on the 4 missing Labatte winners surfaced in the BOG discussions, but was shut down for some reason I can't remember and was not particularly bothered to argue. However, looking at the league's best defencemen over VHL's history recently while I'm putting together my all-time top 10 lists has made me realise two things: 1. It's a very easy task to do. Firstly, the most recent winner, in S62, would be very straightforward given I know for a fact that everyone in the award committee agreed that Johnsson was the best dman in the league but had to take just the Wylde because Kovalchuk had too many points. Secondly, the other 3 winners are Ay Ay Ron. On the basis that the Labatte is effectively a direct battle between the Valiq and Wylde winners (this won't always be the case but definitely would have been in S59 to S61), Ron - who won 2 Valiqs and a Wylde in those three seasons - was definitely the outstanding candidate. He was more well-rounded in the respective seasons than all of Jokinen, Johnsson, and especially Dexter Lane. 2. For Ay Ay Ron, 3 Labattes would give him a much more legitimate shot at the HOF (which I think is a lock anyway regardless of the last two seasons). Very few defencemen won 3 Labattes and it would better reward his legacy in context. Anyway, I don't see the harm. Thoughts?

Its not a 3-1 curse when it was 3-0 lol. That said, one team in this series has a significantly better goalie.

Not 3-2, does not compute.

Jim Gow - against his former team!

I got into a fight!

Twinger lulled them all into a false sense of security.

Hmm, should I focus my rivalry on Ironside instead now? @DollarAndADream

Done.... in the 3 which haven't been removed yet.

You'll be in the HOF this time old boy. Just maybe not first ballot.

I'm both proud and disappointed that this is the extent of your power abuse.

Gritty bleeds orange, you can't use him against us.
