  1. It an honour to be with such a great group of defencemen. In old age the body cannot take as much abuse as it did. We shall see what happens with the last chance to shine opportunity coming soon
  2. Contract... or early retirement. Let's see what happens

  3. That's the plan Thanks Josh
  4. Viktor Alexei Kamenov - Defence
  5. Set's VHL season record for blocked shots with 223. Carries Malmo to playoffs when folks wrote them to be an outsider. Not considered a nominee for defensive defencemen of the year. What a joke.
  6. Thank you @DMaximusand everyone else, you are all so wonderful.. Now if this does not translate into defencemen of the year especially for defence.. I don't know what will. We get medical care here right... My back, and body are sore from carrying said team. @Banackock
  7. Viktor Alexei Kamenov - Defence
  8. So yesterday would have been a good day for me to push that red button?
  9. At least I'm one of the tops in blocked shots.. Edit.. now the leader lol @Banackock
  10. You know who has more points and only 6 minutes in penalty minutes...?
  11. Doesn't like players with penalty minutes... Proceeds to trade for player with 40 minutes already established in PIM and less points than an older yet only 6 penalty minutes all season long but older... errmmmm
  12. Voted #2.. Image 1 doesn't say what season it is. Image 2 accurately indicates it is S75 champions. Image 3 says its S74 champions so if league opts for that one hopefully it gets corrected.
  13. So, I know a couple weeks ago I did say I was back and ready to roll especially when it came to the computer world situation that I lived in for that time. However, when I came back after that my work world had taken a turn and with work and how busy I was with it I felt so overwhelmed and exhausted that trying to come up with articles and the works that I did and had a standard for with this feature I had advised Beavis I had stepped down recently. I remember working with Beavis to try to get this setup when he approached me with the idea of this idea of prospect highlighting under the VHLSC/VHSC. It was and is still something I am quite passionate about for any sim league as I've had roles in other sim leagues as a minors commish. So working and developing the minor leagues is always something I have enjoyed doing. But with the idea of pumping out weekly with my line of work and weird schedule and sleep because of it. Doing a job like this is not as easy to do for me in the given circumstances. It got to the point where after my shifts I just felt so drained I couldn't even get myself to come onto the VHL as I always felt I would be disappointing folks if I was doing something for my player but not putting out a weekly article. Doing this while I had the time was an amazing thing for me and I honestly did love talking to the new prospects learning about them and having them tell us more about them. I must say my conversation with Fishy and Spartan with them together was my favourite interview I had an opportunity to do. Maybe if the league would allow me I could do a guest spot or if they ever decide to redo this and for mock drafts as I worked with the team so hard to put out. Maybe a guest appearance for a mock draft. At this time, I did apply for the updater position and for those wondering why someone who would have a writer's job why apply for an updaters job. The reasons I mentioned about work drainage and being able to come up with creative stories and interview pieces every week was something I took great pride in and would only want the best. In this current stage of life I am in. Having a job. Where there is more work but it's not creative process work would be more up my alley where I can look at the pending updates on my weird schedule and if possible while not on my computer. I accidentally stumbled onto this job when I was putting out the Kamenov story with a part 1. As I think that is what got me on notice for my love of the VHL. I still love it dont get me wrong that is why I applied for the updater job. I close with saying I hope the league will revive this project and hire in folks for this position to help the newer members of the league as it is one of where welcoming a member and helping them get noticed is something I believe will help continue the league to grow. I am sorry if I disappointed anyone who was not able to get to join the 'show'. I had huge ideas when I started it and wanted it to keep going with the league like a staple. May the sim gods bless you all.
  14. Thank you Rory... so good to be back and up and operating
  15. Hello and good day to you all! Today's episode is going to be a bit different and a bit shorter as well compared to the long, long expectations of the last few episodes I was able to produce in the past. This episode will be much shorter because let's face it... the big giant elephant in the room as soon as the production cameras got turned on. With that question being more "Where the hell were you Smitty?" That is honestly such a great and legitimate question which is what I wanted to take today's episode to address. As where I was for what 6 weeks especially just getting the job. How on earth could the league allow me to keep this job after being gone for so long. Well, the first few weeks after my absence was I was dealing with a lot more extra family wonderful unexpected surprises that had me running around like a dog trying to deal with and fix. So, for those first couple of weeks I legitimately explained to the team what was going on and that I wanted to be able to put together better quality pieces so if I were to just whip something together. I would have hated what I put together and felt extremely embarrassed to be actually putting out what I felt was worse than an open bag of garbage sitting outside on the hottest day of summer. So, for that.. I understand that you missed me then and then after those few weeks of life exhaustion as felt like I was being pulled by all sides of life. But Smitty.. that still leaves a month of a disappearance what the hell happened? That is a lot easier to explain as then I had a laptop that I was running and doing everything in life with for myself as it was great to have that portability to be on the go. However, having a high end gaming laptop while they are pricey to buy. I will warn you, without warranty they are extremely pricey to fix. After I was feeling more up to doing an article I heard a really weird and strange noise that occurred in my laptop. Sounded like a really high pitch whine and then I shut it off thinking if anything it needs a new hard drive as I had this problem a few months earlier and that is how they fixed it. Well... oh boy was I wrong. That laptop get to Geek Squad City (yes I bought it from Best Buy). Then after I dropped it off, it sat in their warehouse for a week before it was touched. Then after the week they started working on it so I started getting annoyed as it was taking so long to get this computer fixed. Normally they would have it back in my hands for a week. But, they finally just started examining it and one question when they called me was asking if I had accidental warranty. I'm thinking why would I need it for a bad hard drive. As now another week went by if I recall correctly before I got more news. It wasn't.. as now I work from 5pm to 1am Eastern my sleep schedule also gets thrown into a cluster fuck where this one Friday they called me telling me it's going to cost me $2040 to repair my laptop. I'm thinking I paid like $1800 which the guy on the phone said so he was telling me not worth fixing. Just buy something new, so.. now thinking what happened, and in my mid-groggy state of mind I decided to ask. What happened why is it going to cost so much? They responded the mainboard needed to be replaced which it itself costs $1600 to replace it on this laptop. Then they said there was fire damage and the works. So I said, thank you and just decided to forget about it for a bit as I just woke up. I called back asking why would I need to pay $2000 since I got warranty and my warranty covered accidental and repairs. Why would I pay, you have a policy if things cost so much you replace the unit. Then after me demanding them to just replace it.. they decided to come back at me and they said "well we can now fix it.. it just takes time to get parts". This was now going into week 4 of no computer so I simply just asked them to escalate the issue as how can someone tell me it would costs $2000 if I had to pay but for the company its much cheaper. Especially with a mini fire inside the computer. Anyone who knows fire knows, you don't mix that and electronics without a true comb over. If anything happened once I got my computer it would be back as soon as I could get it. So, with no one willing to just allow me to replace my laptop under warranty so I could buy something new. I decided enough is enough and went and politely caused a scene. When you work in customer service you know exactly which buttons to press while keeping things professional and never talking about the person in question. If you do this, attack the policy and the store. Use their own policies against them. So I did, I politely explained to the manager how could Best Buy ever give someone a product back they know full well had a fire in it being an electronic device, without replacing all the wires and components. Smoke damage is bad for electronics. Then, I decided to even include the fact they told me the laptop repair would cost so much to replace. Why not just replace it and be done with it. This driving me crazy lets just end this as I got to get something shiny and new anyways. Let's just do it now and keep all parties happy. That was a Wednesday and they had to get the computer back before they could do anything about replacing it under warranty which they were quick about doing. So here I am now, after getting this new computer setup all nice and working. Back in business.. ready to start the continuation of A Sit with Tit, with the wonderful prospects in this upcoming draft. So with that, please reach out to me here or through Discord DM BigTittySmitty#7242 and we can set up an interview. If you are curious about what they entail please check out some of the other episodes as well. No, you do not need to be recorded for audio. It's all text based interview So before I let you go.. remember this one tip when it comes to any league job, draft prospect status, etc.. it's better to admit something is wrong and out of your control and you need time to get it fixed instead of just ghosting on your team and league jobs. I may have annoyed my team mates and those within the VHSC about this. But I though they had the right to know so they could make a decision about what is next. I appreciate them reading my rants in our discord rooms and the works. I appreciate everyone reading and taking this long. Don't worry you didn't get this far to not see the damage....
  16. So between @FrostBeard making myself and @Hylands non-prospects. @Motzaburger doing motza graphic things and @Devise hating Mexicans.... I now understand....
  17. from chasing 60 losses to chasing a founder's cup i could not have asked for a better group of folks to have this journey with. for anyone who does not join me from mexico city in malmo i want to wish you best of luck in your careers and we will always have mexico city. with hylands and myself now joining malmo for the next part of the career journey. i will miss you all, besides hylands
  18. I'm going with Walker to be quite honest... beast of a defencemen. Even though they have 3 really amazing defencemen and a 4th one potentially ready to go already in the minors. Getting Walker into DC will solidify that group of defencemen as DC moves to the future. The whole "loyalty/interview" issue where teams are worried about players leaving. That is why they should be talking to prospects before the VHL Draft and selling educating about their teams establishing that relationship already so it's not just some random event for a prospect. Once drafted, the player will be committed to the organization through ELC rules for how long? Don't sweat taking Walker. Worse case scenario you flip him for more amazing talent.
