Victor

Oh boy this is a good one.

Probably should have tried to make it a bit less conspicuous

2. Victor Just so it can be sent to the commissioners and I can advise them to decline.

from S21 onwards, definitely yes 60 shots on its own in a finals game is a rarity, only happened in OT

We all use fictional names here. I'm not actually Greg Clegane.

Oh yeah BWB, I wonder if they got reunited with Gendry in show purgatory.

Oi fuckface I said I couldn't think of a better word to use Plz help

Not bad, not bad at all. Good ol' Wolfgang. To be fair, 17 shots by TebowGow is a bit of a waste.

In other news, can't wait for Leicester to show PL teams how to play in the Champions League.

see that S43 Seattle? Should've been there.

read? I also put in quotation marks specifically for that reason.

The VHL's 20 in 20 series created by Zero, followed by ten more articles in S30 and another ten in S40, mostly written by me with a few exceptions, were a fine idea and if I may say so myself, quite decent articles in the end. You can find them all the Hall of Fame. However, they were also very time-consuming and unless someone else chooses to pick them up, there won't be a 50 in 50 addition to the league. Fear not though, as I will not simply let this momentous occasion slip by as resident VHL history, and I have a few ideas in store for the upcoming 50th (fiftieth!!) anniversary of the league. The first of these will begin to take shape in Season 49 on the pages of the VHL Magazine, with the idea laid out below. I don't think enough attention has ever been given to the quality of some past VHL champions so I decided to right this wrong following an off-hand conversation with Chris Miller, aka @Advantage. There is of course a very straightforward way of ranking championship teams, but not every championship team was at its best necessarily in the season that they won the Continental Cup. Additionally, some champions look much more impressive when seen as part of the longer dynasty. With that in mind, I felt it was necessary to rank all of the VHL's dynasties from S1 to the present day. Now, dynasty is a strong term which isn't really true for most of these, but it's the best term I could think of. The criteria to qualify for the below list was simple: win a Continental Cup (with one exception) and any consecutive playoff seasons around that championship will count as part of the “dynasty”. Again, there are a few more exceptions as Davos won the cup in S11 and S13 but missed the playoffs in S12. Meanwhile, Riga won the cup in S16 and made the playoffs from S15 to S21, but the years after S17 were a very different team plus they didn't win another cup. Otherwise, it's all quite uniform. List of “dynasties” to be ranked, in chronological order: S1-S4 Vasteras IK – S1 Continental Cup champions S1-S3 Calgary Wranglers - S2, S3 S4-S6 Seattle Bears – S4, S5 S5-S6 Helsinki Titans – S6 S6-S7 Avangard Havoc – S7 S5-S9 Calgary Wranglers – S8 S7-S10 Toronto Legion – S9 S8-S12 Riga Reign – S10 S11-S14 HC Davos Dynamo – S11, S13 S10-S12 Seattle Bears – S12 S12-S15 New York Americans – S14 S14-S16 Helsinki Titans – S15 S15-S17 Riga Reign – S16 S15-S17 Seattle Bears – S17 S18-S19 Calgary Wranglers – S18, S19 S19-S25 HC Davos Dynamo – S20, S24, S25 S19-S25 Toronto Legion – S21 S22-S24 Helsinki Titans – S22 S22-S23 Calgary Wranglers – S23 S25-S26 Vasteras Iron Eagles – S26 S26-S27 Helsinki Titans – S27 S24-S31 New York Americans – no cup, S32 cup winners split into different run S26-S30 Seattle Bears – S28 S29 Toronto Legion – self-explanatory S30-S35 Calgary Wranglers – S30 S28-S31 HC Davos Dynamo – S31 S32-S34 New York Americans – S32 S31-S34 Riga Reign – S33 S31-S36 Helsinki Titans – S34 S34-S37 Quebec City Meute – S35 S35-S39 HC Davos Dynamo – S36, S38 S35-S38 Toronto Legion – S37 S38-S42 New York Americans – S39, S41 S37-S41 Riga Reign – S40 S40-S44 Cologne Express – S42 S43 Seattle Bears – the battle against S29 Toronto will be intense S44-S47 Calgary Wranglers – S44 S45-present Helsinki Titans – S45, S46 S44-present New York Americans – S47 S48-present Toronto Legion??? The spreadsheet as it stands includes the length of the dynasty, the amount of finals and cups in that time frame, as well as award winners and eventual Hall of Famers. If you think something else should be included in considering this ranking and/or would like to have an early look at what it looks like, let me know by posting below. Otherwise, stay tuned to this ranking making its way to a magazine near you soon.

always kesler also still got 2 TPE somehow woot

dream team lolno

Clearly not that good, you scored 3 goals against him! Also, S49 vs S50, I'm not surprised. And that moment when VHLM finals have more bad blood than VHL.

need moar S50

Griezmann's not that underrated lol. Not to mention Koke and Saul, now Carrasco was a great signing, and some amazing defenders. I mean, it's pretty obvious they're doing something right. 2010 and 2012 Europa League, 2013 Spanish Cup, 2014 League and CL final, 2016 another shot at league and CL. Keeping up with Real and Barca for so long is an amazing achievement. I wonder what's next for Bayern. Ancelotti won the CL with Real after Mourinho lost in the semifinal 3 times so....

Oblak was great and yet another example of Atletico's excellent scouting (De Gea, Courtois...) but that doesn't give credit to the rest of the team. Plus any good keeper would have made the saves he did. I'd say without the away goals rule, both legs would be more defensive than either one as it is.

I enjoyed Muller and Torres taking the exact same penalty and not scoring either one. How many big saves did Oblak need to make though? Not many more than Neuer. Limiting the opposition to long range shots is exactly the purpose of a good defensive game plan. Granted, I don't think they were hugely comfortable. Inter against Barca in 2010 were comfortable. This was closer to the mayhem of 2012 Chelsea (both semi and final) but a bit more organised. Away goals isn't perfect but it's much better than every tie going to extra time. It creates great tension like most of last night's second half.

Could be. Does the title Oathbreaker tie in with it at all? Need to practice smashing Toronto where it's legal to do so.

would you like 3 PMs?

It's OK, we've beaten Wingate before.
