  1. Awesome. Team is getting it done the last few games and Dadonov is absolutely dominating the save percentage category, I'll take it!
  2. Has there ever been a more physical draft class than the S52 one will be? Sounds like a good plan for a player there brodie
  3. For the superior Gow Thoughts on Shayne's huge start to the season so far? Realistic to think of Helsinki in the playoff picture this season? For the GM of Clardy-gary Do I stand out as your most fruitful recruit to the VHL? It not why not?! For both of you Give a hot take on how successful you think the two player system will be
  4. Ruski domination coming to the VHL
  5. Sorry for the delay bud, I actually uploaded this PSD and a couple of others to the SHL. You can look them up here
  6. I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to create a second player in the VHL as one of the 10 lottery winners a few nights ago, and as with everyone else who was chosen, my thoughts have turned towards what avenues I'm going to explore with this player. Here's what I've decided 1. He's going to be a defenseman. So far in sim leagues I've made two good forwards and one promising goalie so it's inevitable I want to try and see what I could build on the blueline. 2. He'll be a he. I think it's refreshing to see some more female players but for this opportunity I'm going with a dude. 3. He'll probably be Russian. It'll be tricky for me to be able to get my second player over to Helsinki, so I'll settle for him and Dadonov being teammates in future world cups instead. 4. I'm leaning towards pure shutdown style. I want to try and move away from focusing on a player who's just going to be about production and instead go for something really different where I can just make a big dude who likes laying people out. So there you go, my scatterbrain and brief thoughts on where I'll be going with my second player. Obviously there's still a few weeks before I can actually go ahead and make him so some of this may change between now and then but as it stands this is where my head is at!
  7. Alternate - Asher Donovan Alternate - Shayne Gow Captain - Thor Odinsson A brand new leadership group for a brand new Titans team.
  8. Apologies in advance for the shitty written media spot Although some of you are probably very unaware of this, Dmitri Dadonov was not my first player in the VHL. Technically he is, as he's my first player ever to actually play in the VHL but as I near my one year anniversary of joining the Victory Hockey League, I feel like I should write a little bit about my first player and my first impressions of the VHL. (This turned out longer than expected so I'll split it into two articles). One fateful Friday night in late August last year, I was in that inevitable area of boredom on YouTube where I was watching random "Best Shootout Moves 2015" and "Sickest Dangles and Dekes" type videos and scrolling through all the shitposting in the comment section when I came across a comment from a user called "underhandedtoss" some online hockey league where you could make your own player and get drafted to different teams and so on and so forth. My first thought was that it was a lame as fuck idea. I checked out the site that night and closed it down without thinking too much into it at all. But the next day I was bored again so I thought, fuck it, why not see what it's all about and created a player. I named him Jonathan Killeen after some kid I went to high school with, and went about trying to make a great player. I remember writing my first point task and spending an entire afternoon researching stats from the sim for it, and having a great idea of how I wanted Killeen to play. I saw how well guys like Thomas O'Malley were doing in the VHL at that point and thought I could build something similar, being determined to hit the 1000 TPE mark with my player. I was so invested in the site those first few weeks, and I honestly have some great memories of that time here. Then I joined the SHL as well, and that combined with university starting up again basically caused me to go inactive overnight. After the great start I'd made to Killeen's career I logged on maybe three times more before he was drafted by Cologne in S46. I never even signed with Cologne and went inactive again for the final time in Killeen's career. Winter break soon came around and I found myself with a load of free time again. I really regretted in a lot of ways how my first go at the VHL had turned out, so I decided that in this holiday break I would get back into the league with a new player. I retired Killeen and decided to go with a goalie this time around, and while I was at it, changed my username from dankoa to Daniel, probably where all the assumption about me being a first gen came from. I spent a load of time those few weeks back in the chat room with guys like boubabi and Draper just chatting about anything and everything and I feel like those interactions are a big reason of why I made such a better go at it the second time around. I applied for and got a GM job in the VHLM which I loved, kept active and got drafted by a team I loved in Quebec before reaching the point where I became a fully fledged GM in the VHL, something I was and still am incredibly excited about. My second attempt at VHL greatness is still young; Dadonov is only in his draft+3 season, but I feel like I've done things so much better this time. So basically, thanks for a first really enjoyable almost year in the VHL to everyone I've had the pleasure of talking to so far, and here's to many more to come. (Next time I will actually talk about Killeen as a player lel)
