Zero

I'm thinking that this'll get done today, so any last questions for me should come in now. Otherwise I'm gonna jack some questions from others because I just don't give a fuuuuuuck. But for now, its leg day then sushi with the boys. See you soon

The VHLM's always been somewhat of a "too much to one extreme", even back in the old days. Whatever new system is put in, GMs will find a way to exploit it and make things great for people on good teams, and shitty for people on bad teams. It's good that people are still working on making things better. I'm not opposed to the idea of contraction provided it's not just erasing two teams and maintaining the status quo. Restricting the trade of draft picks is a nice idea that actually makes sense. Maybe even have an allocation order instead of waiver claims, where players are just added to the first team in line, and that team then moves to the back of the line. Every team gets new players coming in, and hopefully everyone gets new members in their LRs. Also some of you are arguing and acting like whores and its not at all swell.

Claim 4

more plz. seriously.

I don't want to hear excuses. I want to hear solutions. "We can't do it" isn't good enough

Back in my day, consecutive cup wins made you a dynasty. None of this "2 in 3", "5 in 16" bullcrap you sissypants fucks have today. Get off my lawn.

Ooh, those are good ones.

Let's go, boys. I'm thinking podcast #2 is going to happen either this week or early next week, so fire away. Any and all questions are accepted and will be answered. Nothing is off limits Also, if anyone wants to join me and we can be friends, I'm open to that too. Just give me a shout.

Utterly shocked you didn't go for the Vietnamese dong, but hey, I learn something new about you every day. I also laughed when you played the Danny Phantom theme song. Thanks for that. I did a solo podcast, but am always open to friends coming in or me joining friends. I believe we have podcasted together in the past, yes. Sorry to hear about your aunt.

Let me have all the fun, you whores

This was 8 fucking years ago. Probably one of Robbie or Sandro or Manship's stupid sim leagues.

You can start by passing the puck some more, rook.

Undergoing a name change. Hold off on this shit until then <3

Bentz is here too? Where??

So, the fun of the name has sort of worn off, and much like I did with my last player, Penis Anthony Doubligné, who became Penis Anthony Hudson, I'm wondering if it's time for Bitch Higgins to change his name to something a little less Bitchy. That said, I am nothing if not a man of the people, and I propose that I put this up to a vote. Therefore, consider this thread as being the official polling station, with the question being: "should I change the name of Bitch Higgins?" From there, I'll probably come up with a few different names, and we'll put it to a vote. I see that we already have a Gifford Shock in the league (thanks Noah), so I can already throw that one out as an option. Or, of course, I can keep the name Bitch Higgins, and do his namesake proud by making the Bitch as special a player as I possibly can. I'm pretty ambivalent towards it all, so let's see what the general public has to say. Since the playoffs are so long (lol), I figure we have some time to kill, anyway, and since Yukon is out the VHLM race, then nobody really cares about the rest of the teams that are still playing.

Fuck this gay earth

Why should I ask you a question? If you could lick any foreign currency in the world, which would it be and why? How bitchy should Bitch Higgins be? If you and David are both on this podcast, how does it feel living in your brother's shadow? I'll let you two figure out who is who. Fuck, marry, kill: Morgan Rielly, Danny Phantom, Chester the Cheetah Why is everyone talking about the Season 45 draft when its the Season 46 draft that's clearly the good one? Would you ever consider having me on your podcast, even though I am not a Knight, a brother, or a Knight brother?

Lesson learned: wait more than 2 days before writing a media spot like this

Hey, I'm rusty! top kek m8 I'm keeping this up, because whatever mark I get is still doubled

Fuck me, really? I could have sworn we've been going at game per day.

The VHL Playoffs System Upon my return to the VHL, I was amazed at the changes that have taken place in this league. Expansion, welfare, pension plans, and other changes have, to me, made this league a better place to be overall. There is one thing, however, that I have been hoping to see for a long time, dating back to the early days of the VHL: the VHL playoffs take a long time to finish, and that's kind of annoying. Still, to this day, we are simulating one playoff game per day, and I think that's too slow of a pace to be going at. You see, assuming both the semi-finals and the finals go on for the maximum length of time - which doesn't always happen, but certainly could - we're looking at two weeks for the VHL playoffs. This isn't too bad if your team is a playoff-caliber team, but for a team that's on the outside, there isn't a whole lot to do. Ideally, everyone is involved and invested in seeing who comes out with the Continental and Founders Cups, but let's be honest: if it isn't your player or your team, you definitely tend to care at least a little bit less. In my time away from this league, I've taken on one new life motto: don't complain about a problem unless you have a solution to that problem. Therefore, I am proposing that we shorten the VHL playoffs by approximately two days per round. Instead of each series taking up to seven days, they'll go up to five, if that. I'm suggesting that we simulate games 1 & 2, as well as games 3 & 4, in the first two days of each series, so a 7-game series would look like this: Monday - Game 1 & 2 Tuesday - Game 3 & 4 Wednesday - Game 5 Thursday - Game 6 Friday - Game 7 This way, the elimination games still have their own days, where GMs can make any changes they deem as necessary to winning or turning the tides in the series. While game four doesn't have its own day, you can still make changes after day 1 if you're down 2-0. This also doesn't speed things up too much, as I know that playoffs time is also pretty key for our administrators and commissioners to re-charge their batteries. If you don't like that idea, then how about something a little more "out there?" Why not do what the real hockey world does and host a mini tournament for the players who aren't involved in the playoffs, both VHl and VHLM? It will be the equivalent to the IIHF's World Championships, and not only does it give non-playoffs players (and players on teams eliminated early) something to do, it also might allow for the lower TPE guys to get some international play where they normally wouldn't (in the World Cup, that's open to everyone). I know some of you are thinking: "This guy's back for a week and is already trying to stir the pot," but that's sort of how I roll. If I stick around, you'll probably get used to it, or at least tolerate it.

When and where, big boy

Boy did I not expect this to turn into a serious discussion.

You know who else would be pretty jokes? Viserys Targaryen

It's funny because it's true. Like I had to go back and change the wording 3 times.
