    Renomitsu got a reaction from Frank in Prague Loses In the First Round, Future Has Options   
    Prague, Czechia – With their hopes dashed, the Prague Phantoms once again head home from the first round of the playoffs, the 4th and 5th seed matchup. Sadly, the series didn’t even require a full five games before the decision point was made. With Velociraptor Greg set to retire this upcoming offseason, a lack of playoff success this time around feels particularly deflating and saddening for the Phantoms, who will need to retool a bit with more retirements on the horizon. Season 84 classmates Faith Hope Love and Fred Thompson, as well as S85’s John Jameson and Nikolas Kauppo are set to retire over the subsequent two seasons – so if Prague wants to make a leap for the playoffs, they’ll need some rapid improvement from their current defenseman and a veteran pickup.
     
    Otherwise, they’ll have to shift their focus to their S88-91 players while working with their total six first and second round picks and have to look more towards the next 5-6 seasons rather than the immediate future.

    1. Boston, because they have the best record.
    2. The New York Americans.
    3. We've had nine seasons in a row of the Victory Cup winner not winning the Continental Cup. The four seasons prior, the Victory Cup winner did win the Continental Cup. I definitely wouldn't say there's really a curse. If I counted correctly, 37 of the previous Victory Cup winners did go on to win the championship. With more teams in the league nowadays, the path for the top seed to win the playoffs is longer, so we're obviously going to see it happen a bit less often.
     
     
    1. Do you think the VHL playoffs could use a change in format?
    2. What is your favorite VHL team, based solely on team name/logo/colors?
    3. What movie show I watch? If it's on Netflix or streaming free somewhere, I'll watch it.

    Renomitsu got a reaction from Banackock in Simons Worst Nightmare Is Cracked?!   
    This player has ZERO points added to passing or scoring-relevant attributes and is already leading one statistical category in the VHL despite being only in their second season in the VHL.
     
    Simons Worst Nightmare (no apostrophe).
     
    Who on Earth is this player – who has ostensibly figured out something about STHS – and why on earth do they exist? In comparing their point production to other players, Nightmare has a comparable number of points to many of the league’s top rookies despite playing on a very future-focused Seattle Bears team, and a pace that is due to match, if not exceed, their 265 shot blocks from last season. zepheter’s S90 Draft create is a champion of Puck Handling and Defense, with each sitting at 87 at time of writing, and absolutely no stats related to scoring. He could just as easily have created a player with a bunch of checking and fighting to amplify his team’s shot at the #1 selection, but instead has a build with superior defensive capabilities and, honestly, pretty reasonable scoring abilities without having dropped a single point in the coveted wrist/slapshot and offensive vision attributes.
     
    zepheter, what have you done?

    1. I hear that Wayne Gretzky guy was pretty good, but I don't follow hockey in real life very closely despite being part of the VHL for over a decade.
    2. I feel like everyone has their rituals. I have a very specific meal that will remain unspecified in this thread I eat before every game, which is impressive because each sim day may include 2-3 games for a single team. There's a small collection of gameday underwear that I wear too; it's not a single set because that'd be... really unsanitary.
    3. I follow the NFL and (peripherally) the NBA. I follow the MLB when the Orioles are close to or above .500, but when it's bad it's really bad.
     
    ------------------------------
     
    1. Do you sing in the shower? And only partially related, do you live with other people (SOs, roommates, dogs/cats/birds, etc)?
    2. How often do you tidy your living space? And separate, how often do you clean your living space?
    3. Who's going to win the Continental Cup this season? Who's got the most promising future, e.g. 2-4 seasons from now?

    Renomitsu got a reaction from Daniel Janser in Traded Early In My Career. Am I Washed?   
    Am I Washed?
    Short Answer: Maybe? Long(er) Answer Below.
     
    Woof. For someone who’s historically done well in sim sports leagues, Spanish Moon Moth’s career has not gone as I’d expect it to – at least not so far. And I have to say, thus far it’s deserved – a manager like Seattle’s Banackock, who has historically been shrewd, discerning, and resultantly very successful – does not take trading away an important asset and high selection very lightly. On December 23rd, 2023, he elected to trade Spanish Moon over to Prague with an S93 second round selection from Davos in exchange for Steve Lattimer, a first, second, and fourth in that season’s draft. The team was clearly in rebuilding mode and hadn’t found what it wanted from my player in the first season or so after being drafted – and as a team that has to take a multi-season future view, that meant acquiring as many new resources as possible to get the rebuild back on track.
     
    Perhaps part of my initial surprise at being traded was hubris. I like to think we both handled our respective ends of the trade professionally, and I’m quite excited to spend my career with Acyd as my manager. But the TPE rankings are what they are – and Spanish Moon isn’t doing as well as I have typically fared. As a result of a few busy weeks, in fact, Zetterberg’s Leif Reingaard has just hit the century mark over my player’s TPE. That hasn’t happened to me before, and certainly has never happened this early in my career. Both he and Daniel Janser are absolute terrors when it comes to earning. But this also isn’t the height of my sim league participation like 2019 and the greater part of the pandemic were, and obviously my place in life isn’t quite the same. Thankfully, I’m also not stuck being the same user I was during my year-long hiatus from sim leagues, working through an absolutely grueling second year of residency. I won’t make excuses: even after my second post-graduate year (PGY-2), I was not the best sim league user by the numbers.
     
    It’s also tough to watch my player slip in the rankings (again, deservedly) as someone who has strived to be the best at everything I do. I was drafted fourth overall in the S91 VHL draft, and had slipped to tenth in VSN’s first VHL Future Watch. What hurt arguably more was Spanish Moon Moth’s further descent completely out of the rankings as a whole. Yeah, I know my class is stupidly stacked and even FrostBeard has dropped down to fifth in the rankings. Velv and tcookie have hovered around my player’s rankings too. It’s not often a top five player gets scooted over without significant interpersonal controversy – and there’s certainly no bad blood between Bana and I.
     
    Ultimately, I wish I could have been a bit of a better communicator with Bana. You can bet, however, that I’m giving Prague my all, the very same I would have given any earnest, high-quality manager, titles that both Acyd and Bana obviously meet. I’m going to re-prove my worth to this league once more – even if that means running under the radar for a little while.

    Renomitsu got a reaction from jacobcarson877 in Isle Of Man: Join Us!   
    The Isle of Man, a tiny crown dependency in the middle of the northern Irish Sea, has just five active players – including a sub-100 TPE legend, right winger beaubeau primetime, both Moths, Aeschylus Jigglejawns CXXXVII II (whom I’m eagerly anticipating being called “AJ Jr.”) and Season 87’s Reinhard von Kongming, a Kylrad classic defender that currently plays for Chicago. Historically, only a few other players have ever bothered to come over from the island of just 84,069 people, a nice, tiny population that allows for plenty of individuality.
     
    The dependency’s lone player of true note was center Chad Magnum, a Season 70 first gen from Corco who achieved notoriety by absolutely stealing the S73 Scott Boulet out of nowhere, a season where Toronto unfortunately missed the playoffs. His best season only allowed for 89 total points and a massive 385 hits while accruing a +28 plus-minus.
     
    There are so many “firsts” still up for grab for this tiny island nation – this is my formal call to have as many players as possible join us in the northern Irish Sea, so that one day, like Greenland, we can have our own tiny niche team with little to no further explanation.

Thankfully, I’m also not stuck being the same user I was during my year-long hiatus from sim leagues, working through an absolutely grueling second year of residency. I won’t make excuses: even after my second post-graduate year (PGY-2), I was not the best sim league user by the numbers.
     
    It’s also tough to watch my player slip in the rankings (again, deservedly) as someone who has strived to be the best at everything I do. I was drafted fourth overall in the S91 VHL draft, and had slipped to tenth in VSN’s first VHL Future Watch. What hurt arguably more was Spanish Moon Moth’s further descent completely out of the rankings as a whole. Yeah, I know my class is stupidly stacked and even FrostBeard has dropped down to fifth in the rankings. Velv and tcookie have hovered around my player’s rankings too. It’s not often a top five player gets scooted over without significant interpersonal controversy – and there’s certainly no bad blood between Bana and I.
     
    Ultimately, I wish I could have been a bit of a better communicator with Bana. You can bet, however, that I’m giving Prague my all, the very same I would have given any earnest, high-quality manager, titles that both Acyd and Bana obviously meet. I’m going to re-prove my worth to this league once more – even if that means running under the radar for a little while.

    Renomitsu got a reaction from aimkin in Jesse Teno Leads The Way For London   
    London, England – First-generation netminder Jesse Teno – an American playing for London United – has won awards in multiple different seasons – including a Playoff MVP and the cup in Season 88, as well as both the Aidan Shaw and Greg Clegane trophies in Season 91. And don’t get me wrong: his stats were stellar in those seasons, including a remarkable 93.7 Save % and a GAA of 2.02, which would be good for top three goaltending ability in virtually any season. The former number is even more impressive given Teno successfully saved 2,068 shots across the season. This season, however, is a different story entirely.
     
    Although London have won only 5 of their 9 games thus far, Teno has averaged a staggering 94.8 Save%, good for first in the league and one of the better marks all-time… if it can be sustained. He’s allowed just 1.88 goals on average per game, and it’s not hard to imagine him being the frontrunner for Regular Season MVP, even with Larry Abass’ 18 points through just 10 games or Kronchy Kardashian’s 16 points in the same time as a defenseman. Even with the understanding that London’s slated to be a top team this season, Teno’s remarkable netminding efficiency is a sight to behold.

    Renomitsu got a reaction from Tetricide in The best press conference you will ever see   
    Woo! Time to answer a very old press conference that has time-agnostic questions!
     
    1. Who is the person you like the most on your team? and why?
    Lots of my teammates are great! I really appreciate @samx, @Frank, and @Tetricide for keeping the locker room active and fun 😆
     
    2. Who will win the Cup in the NHL this year?
    Uhh, I have no idea. When I google the standings, it says the Canucks have one of the better records, so let's go with them.
     
    3. Why did you choose that name for your player?
    McWolf and I decided on having moths moth-like players, and we chose some really pretty appearing moths as our names.
     
    4. Where would you like the next expansion team to be?
    Vegas, Boston, or Philly for the VHL, otherwise it doesn't particularly matter.
     
    5. What is you favorite logo in the VHLM? why?
    Mexico City Kings. The Dia De Los Muertos aesthetic is cool.
     
    6. What is you favorite logo in the VHL? why?
    I like Davos, DC, and Prague. The latter two are a bit more eSports-y but really cool; Davos just has a nice logo. I don't know what a Dynamo is, but the mountains are cool and the design is sleek.
