  1. Lol. . .so for my second memory, I have to go with the one time I decided to check out the chat system on the VHL. I popped in, and immediately gorlab just said "oh fuck no, not you."
  2. For the themed PT, can it be like how teams are celebrating the 10th anniversary?
  3. Memory #1, 7/17: My first player was a Catalan nationalist, and it was a pretty great experience joining the league to have people who actually paid attention to the narrative I was laying out for him along the way and comment on the direction I was taking with him. While I went inactive on his career, I quite enjoyed the experience I had with everyone and the way people were treating me, and it's a big part of why I eventually came back. Twice.
  4. VHLM Playoffs Start with Two Close Matchups While the Oslo Storm may have run away with the race this season, the VHLM Playoffs look to be getting off with a bang. As the bottom two teams battle it out to see who will snag the fourth seed this season and try to topple the beast that is Oslo, we'll see 5th place Yukon with 35 points take on the 4th place Aces with 42. While their matchup against Oslo (111 points) looks to be an absolute slaughter, the other matchup of the semi-finals looks to be a close and exciting one as 2nd place Ottawa (100 points) takes on 3rd place Saskatoon (99 points). As the season closed, Ay Ay Ron ( @boubabi) showed signs of great things to come as he scored not one, but two hat tricks to lead Saskatoon to a strong finish to the season. If his play continues in the playoffs, this is going to be a high scoring, hard hitting series that you won't want to miss.
  5. Ay Ay Ron is HOT HOT HOT. Also, I scored our final goal of the regular season ayyyy
  6. You done fucked up Ay Ay Ron
  7. I feel betrayed by this title
  8. Bring on the Lynx Saskatoon set to face Ottawa in the first round of the playoffs As the regular season winds to a close, the matchups for the semifinal round of the VHLM Playoffs are starting to come into focus. While Oslo awaits their first opponent of the playoffs, a matchup between the Saskatoon Wild and the the Ottaway Lynx is set in stone. While the season series seems to favour the Lynx, with the Wild holding a 7-10-1 record against their first opponents in the playoffs, that's not always the full story. While the record seems to be a little one-sided in favor of the opposition, the Wild remain confident that this series will be closer than some experts may believe. The goal totals in the series are actually a mere +1 differential, favouring Saskatoon (47-46) while Powerplay goals favour the Wild as well, 16-14. Shots in the series also remain close and favour the Wild, sitting at 414 to 392. While I can't find a general faceoff percentage for the two teams against one another, Saskatoon has won a greater percentage of faceoffs in the offensive zone, neutral zone, and defensive zones meaning they hold the advantage in this statistical category as well - and by a greater margin than the other categories already mentioned here. Where things seem to favour the Ottawa Lynx, however, is the recent games played. While Saskatoon has done well to keep stats even throughout the season, a look at the last six games between the two teams highlights that the Lynx may have the advantage heading into this series, winning 4 of the last 6 contests between Saskatoon and Ottawa. If we were looking at the most recent game only, however, Saskatoon did win the final game of the season between the two franchises. Saskatoon found the edge in shots, putting 31 on net while Ottawa only managed 21, and the goals fell similarly with the Wild taking the game with a commanding 4-1 final tally, Charles Murphpy's 21st of the season proving the difference as the game winning goal for Saskatoon. Notable in this game as well is the fact that there were a total of 11 powerplays, with each team managing to capitalize on only one of them. If penalties are going to feature so prominently in this series (which they very well could conisdering the physical play we saw in this game, with 26 hits on behalf of the Lynx (with Igor Mjers' seven hits leading the way) and only 16 hits coming from the Wild (Daring Do's 3 hits taking top honors in this category for Saskatoon). This looks to be an extremely interesting series, and it's going to be exciting to watch it play out for sure. There's no telling what could happen here, so all eyes should be on these two franchises as they do battle on the ice this postseason.

  10. Daring Do Scores First Career Hat Trick Daring Do scored all three Wild goals in a 4-3 Overtime Loss on Friday In her relatively short career, Daring Do's time in the VHLM has been full of ups and downs. While she's been more notable this season for her physical play than her goal scoring abilities, that hasn't stopped her from trying to work on her shot and improve in all areas of her game. The leading scorer among right-wings this season, she currently sits 16th among all skaters in scoring and 10th in goals. Her most notable accomplishment when it comes to scoring this season, however, came just last game when she scored all three of Saskatoon's goals in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Oslo Storm. Asked about her performance after the game, Daring Do commented that she was pleased with her first career hat trick, but that she still needed to be better for her teammates. "When it comes down to it, three goals wasn't enough. I needed to pick up one more goal somewhere in that game in order to give us the win. As nice as it was to put the team up 3-1 in the opening period, I can't stop scoring after the first 20 minutes are over. I had 40 more minutes plus overtime to pick up the one more goal we needed to go home with the W, and I just couldn't do it. Next time I pick up a hat trick hopefully it'll be leading Saskatoon to a championship victory." Overall the game was dominated by the Saskatoon right winger. She picked up 10 of the team's 26 shots, as well as leading the team with 5 hits on the night. With her 13.50% shooting percentage this season, Saskatoon will be looking for more efforts like this one from Daring Do as they finish out the season. While the team has scoring up and down the roster, and really isn't lacking in that department, they're going to be hopeful that this 10 shot, 3 goal effort is a sign of what they're going to be getting out of the young winger as she plays in what are likely to be the final games of her VHLM career. Saskatoon will be getting another crack at the Oslo Storm tonight as they look to exact their revenge for a game they believe they should have been able to win. In post-game comments, Daring Do commented that the Storm were a "soft" team, and shied away from playing a physical game. She added that she truly believes the last two games were Saskatoon's to win, and that she and the rest of the Wild will be coming out swinging when they hit the ice tonight in Oslo.
  11. @MD9you know when you said I had a hat trick, I was thinking we won
  12. As the season winds down, Saskatoon has made some acquisitions of young talent that look to improve the roster as the team sets their sights on a finals berth (and, of course, a victory). While it remains to be seen whether Saskatoon can get things on lockdown as we inch closer to the finish line, the morale in the longer room is high. Every member of the team, from the most veteran to the youngest rookie, has their head held high and is giving it their all in both practice and in game situations. As the clock ticks down and we draw closer to the season finale, the Wild are favoured to make a deep run - but can they overcome Oslo? The players and fans certainly think so, and as they've made quite clear in these final few days of the season they expect to be playing hockey longer after the regular season comes to a close.
  13. The fans need to start yelling "shoot"
