Hey Everyone!
With the Junior Showcase coming up quickly the time has come to announce the 5 GMs that will be taking charge of a team this offseason. First off I would just like to say thank you to everyone who applied.
 
Your S87 JST GMs are...

Willing to take a vhlm gm job as an interim for however long it takes if there is a need

Now that the wildcard round is out of the way, the stage is set for the Conference Semi-Finals. Moscow already knew that Malmo would be their opponent, since they blew their first place lead in the final 2 games of the season. Moscow thought they would be cracking open some cold ones and seeing if they would play Riga or Warsaw, but instead they would have a date with Malmo. Frustration was definitely brewing in the locker room as they thought a 1st place finish was under a lock and key. "We are definitely not happy with how the season ended." Ronan Lavelle said, who led the team with 40 goals in the S87 regular season. "If there is one positive it changed up our attitude. We were getting ready to cruise the past few days and just see who we would play. Finishing 2nd and now playing a good Malmo team re-shifted the focus. We had a few team meetings, and added a practice on our day off just to keep our focus up. We can't be caught by surprise like that again in the playoffs." Lavelle concluded.
 
The Menace finished 3-2 against the Nighthawks in the regular season where the goal differential was, you guessed it ZERO. These two teams played another close all season long. The big question for Moscow is which team will show up? The one where their dynamic offense/defense lights up the scoreboard, or where they get held to 3 goals or under despite putting up a load of shots? All eyes will be on rookie Matt Murdock, who will make his post-season debut. Murdock had a fantastic rookie season, and is well within the ROTY discussions. Murdock had a .939 save percentage and a 2.39 GAA while tacking on 4 shutouts. Malmo goaltender Boris Tsezar will also be making their playoff debut in their 5th VHL season. Tsezar was apart of a long awaited Malmo rebuild. Tsezar had a .928 save percentage, 2.52 GAA and 5 shutouts of their own. So it is believed a goaltender battle could ensue in this series as it did in the regular season.
 
Moscow point leader Nico Pearce with 91 points says he is expecting big time production from the Moscow offense. Pearce is a career point per game playoff player. He has a lot of experience in the playoffs, and is looking for his first Continental Cup. Pearce is re-united with former Titan teammate Hammar Voss in the post-season. This will be Voss' third run with Pearce. Voss tore up the playoffs in S84 with Helsinki, recording 11 points in 7 games. If Voss can elevate to this level again with this core, Moscow's offense will undoubtably be a problem with Voss' two way play. He is arguably the best puck carrying defenseman in the VHL. Career Menace Tomas Sogaard is believed to be the dark horse key to victory for Moscow. Sogaard has been apart of every Moscow run since S83, and his hot and cold play could mean the difference if he is able to hit one of his hot streaks in this series. AK92 Wit da Hoodie voiced frustration all season long about his performance. Hoodie is a point per game playoff player through two playoff runs. It does always seem talented players who had an average season stat wise have a way of elevating their game in the playoffs. Could this come true for Hoodie?
 
The playoffs, depth is so important. The Menace had a 30 goal scorer and 2 20+ goal scorers on their second line. Fraser Wallace and Kyosti Karjalainen's production will be critical to relieving pressure off the Moscow 1st line. If they are on as they were during Moscow's big win streak, this team will be very difficult to stop. Karjalainen, the Moscow captain has a ton of experience when it comes to the post-season. He has been apart of the heartbreak for 3 of Moscow's 5 finals losses under GM Euron Leonidas. The captain seems ready to be on the other side of history as he said he expects nothing short of Moscow to hold the cup. Expectations are high in a very competitive European Conference with a few big titan North American teams waiting on the other side. Can the Menace make it through?

I don't believe he ever made a public post on the matter but I know he did it in his locker room @Enorama has decided to step down from the GM position of the DC Dragons. As the first and only GM of the Dragons I want to thank @Enoramafor everything he has done for the team. 
 
If you are interested in the openings, please post in this thread. Please do not contact the Commissioners outside of this thread, we will reach out to the chosen candidates privately.
 
***Please refrain from making comments regarding any candidates and their "worthiness" of being hired for this job, positive or negative. Any comment that is not an application will be removed to maintain a clean list of actual candidates, and (I hate that this actually needs to be said, but...) any member bashing will not be tolerated.***

This is bullshit.

Hi there, a lot of you probably already know but figured I’d make a post about it anyways: due to being very busy with real life things for the foreseeable future and not having any real time/motivation to do VHL things I’ve resigned from my jobs.
 
Ill still be around until the end of the season and/or till a new gm is hired
 
ok bye love you 

Rivalries: Part 2
 

 
 
Part 2 of this piece takes me to the modern day VHL. After over 10 years of being absent, 10 years of no rivalries, I returned to form new ones. When you return after a long absence, or are new there are no rivalries initially as you are getting the hang of the ropes again. However, then you realize your first rivals are usually your draft classmates. It is not an intense rivalry, however it is a fun one. I found myself in a very competitive S82 draft class with the likes of Bo Johannson, The Board Game Clue on Skates, Max Torq, Cole Pearce, Vasile Lamb, Tavish DeGroot, Bubbles Utonium, Perry Laperriere, and Girts Gavins. A majority of these players had already been established in the league already and had an upper hand. Shindigs joined around the same time I did. We were in the same TPE bracket, battled back and forth for a while. But when he was able to get his TPE packages, and just being Shindigs he put a decent gap between us at one point TPE wise despite my max earning. The rivalry I had with Shindigs was a friendly one, and was very motivational for us both. It would only escalade more after the draft when Shindigs and Mubbles would be drafted to the rivals of the team I was drafted to.
 

 
I was drafted by the DC Dragons 7th overall. Eno saw the potential I had and blew a little luck on the dice before throwing them. I was really happy with this, as I was a big fan of Eno's laxed but very involved style. We would always gather in the LR after games to recap what had happened and potentially discuss any changes to the lineup if need be. Being a member of the Dragons meant that a rivalry with the Seattle Bears and Chicago Phoenix was imminent. You just know those Bears are going to be competitive for a majority if not the whole span of my career, because Bana just knows how to build a winning product. Chicago would have the two highest earners in my draft class in Bo Johansson and The Board Game Clue on Skates. Not only did Chicago get two great players, they got two members who would have big time voices in regards to the direction of the team. Those freaking Phoenix swept us out of the Wildcard round in S83 3-0 when we had a better team on paper. That is when I really said, "Man I want to beat the guys." Shindigs was one of my closer VHL friends outside of the sims as we spent a lot of time talking in the Moscow LR with the other "fellow commies". But when it came to game time, we both wanted to win. We would get our revenge on Chicago in our re-match in S85 as we overcame a 2-0 series deficit to win 4-2, which would book our ticket to the VHL Continental Cup Finals, where we would capture DC's first ever cup. It was a very sweet victory as we beat our rivals to get to the big show, and winning it only made it better. The Empire always does strike back though don't they? Chicago would beat us in the S86 Conference Semi Finals in a hard fought 7 game series.
 
With that, my time in the North American Conference came to an end. And for now, my rivalry with Chicago is over. But now out here in Moscow, new ones are already starting. Part 3? To be determined!

The Geneva Rush are on the upswing, moving into second place in the VHLE.  A team effort has seen the rush pick up 8 straight wins.  An effort like this takes an entire team putting in the work, but one player has been leading the charge.  That player is Kronchy Kardashian, who is currently on fire NBA Jam style.  Now I don’t have any numbers to give, but trust me when I say that the last 15-20 games have been a lot better than the 45-50 games that came before.  The young socialite has been picking up 2 or more points in most games.  They have taken the lead for points for defensemen, and are tied for the assists lead, with 3 less games played than their direct competition.  
 
With 7 games left the celebrity has stated that they are going after the Geneva Rush record for points in a season, which is currently 101 points scored by Rush legend Ronan Lavelle @Arce .  They will need to get 7 points in those 7 games to break the record.  With how they have been putting up points recently, a point per game is certainly doable.

Holy shit man, this is unbelievable work! I am absolutely blown away! I knew it would be a good looking final product, but I never expected this. Thank you very much for including me in this fun project, the final outcome was so worth the wait!

S86 Signature Collection
 
     Hello and welcome to the S86 KGW Signature Stick Collection!  We have been hard at work with 5 special players in the VHL to create custom sticks that will help represent their style, family, city and teams!  We took their feedback and created sticks that would help them stand out throughout the season.  We asked each player what they wanted their stick to represent and then our team got to it to create something everyone would be proud to have.  We collected everything and created our product showcase, Signature Collection!  Please enjoy!

Best way to take a look is to check out the PDF as it will let you zoom in and out and let you scan the QR codes if you are on a second screen that is not your phone.  Each player has a QR code attached that will take you to a short YouTube video of their custom stick!  Try it out!
 
KGW S86 Signature Collection.pdf

Below are the pages as images if the PDF doesn't work for anyone as well as the links to the YouTube videos for each stick.  It took me quite some time to put this all together and I appreciate anyone who takes a look, reacts or replies!  Thank you to @Shindigs, @N0HBDY, @Daniel Janser, @Arce  and @Frank for playing along!  Sorry for the wait, hopefully this is worth it!
