I'm a possible draftee for most teams woot 

I have only told YOU not to.

Back again for another entry. Well it's time to prep for my first ever playoffs. And am I excited? Hell yeah! As Paul Newman asked the Hansen brothers in the movie Slap Shot, " What are you guys' doin?"  Well..."Puttin on the foil coach".Time to kick some ass!
 
Anyways, the last half of the regular season was a bit of a downer what not with the amount of losses we started to take on but the playoffs are a whole different ball game.It's time to take it to another level for us.
I was on the second line but Beave shoved my ass to the third and fourth line.Although I'm getting double duty, I'm playing less minutes but I don't give a shit.Im playing and that's all that matters.
 
With this weeks last TPE add hopefully I can allocate it to areas that I need improvement on.Hopefully it'll help come playoffs.
Im happy to be on the third line, as I seem more suited for it.The last ten games I've been contributing a lot more offensively, even though we've been losing but we're gonna have to change that in the next games.
Hope Klopper is on my line and Clarke or McQ.I seem to play well with Klop and he's been a steady line mate of mine pretty much all season.We seem to gel playing together.
Lets hope Beave balances out the the skill into at least three of the lines so we have depth.Gonna be an interesting playoffs!

Rumor, rumor on the wall, what the fuck is going on? Surely there has been a lot happening in the VHL over the last little while - even if things seem stale and quiet around the boards. Big happenings in the VHL regular season seen the Bears get the final spot in the draft lottery and the Wranglers succeed into the first round VS Toronto. We also seen a dominant display of elite talent from quite a few players this season. On the other hand, we've also seen quite the fall of many players or people of importance who once were a large part to the VHL community. So, what the fuck is going on? Predictions + RUMORS baby.
 
Seattle starts trade talks early before the draft
Probably the easiest one here, huh? GM Campbell likely has been talking trade for the upcoming off-season since S49. Either way, expect talks to start early and the team be on the prowl to make some moves in the upcoming off-season. Rumour has it (hehe), the Bears will be looking to move a youth player - as well as any and all upcoming draft picks. They've made it known that they're currently in the market for developed, younger pieces or pieces that will help push them strongly forward. 
 
Boubabi does the daring and takes over for Davos
Rock, paper or scissors, it's a toss up between jardlenuts @JardyB10 and @boubabi for the new position opened up in Davos thanks to good ole @Smarch deportation from the VHL. Me thinks that if this happens, Davos is gonna be a rocknroll force and it could very well happen as I think Helsinki's finally going to go to sleep in a  season or two. 
 
Punkhippe making some more multis
He plans to make more multis in the upcoming recruitment drive. While he says his trouble days are behind him, we feel it's not the case. You can't paint the hammer a different colour, but at the end of the day it's still a tool (get it. Much love to you though @punkhippie). He wants to reign fire down on the league and have one last good HOOORAH before @Higgins final donkey punches his cock off and sends him packing. One less asian rival to worry about for @tfong. Also expect @BobertZ to rip him a new asshole.
 
Lastly, Sterling makes a player.
If the goalie amount wasn't abundant, I'd almost like to say that @sterling would have returned as an elite goalie to challenge Wingate @CowboyinAmerica for a couple of his great seasons and career. In fact, I hope he still does it (if he were planning on doing it). If not, I see him coming back as a winger and spending a good portion of his career on either Davos or Toronto. Time will tell.
 
This has been a lot of fun. 1 TPE for Forsberg please (Federov gonna claim Magazine this week @Kendrick)

It seems like the last couple of seasons (more specifically, since Season 50ish), the league has found itself in quite the situation. Members who have been on the VHL since the stone ages have been dropping like annoying, pesky fruit flies in your summertime kitchens. Members who once contributed so much to this site are now either gone completely or logging in and appearing as ghost like figures. Many around the boards have been bitching, whining or kicking up a storm. "The league is dying, the league is dying" one little @Bushito exclaimed. One can't help but think he's a little silly given past patterns of league quietness, but some like @punkhippie and @BobertZ seem to think he's right. In fact, a recent call from @Higgins and numerous members of the B.O.G @Beketov + @Devise + @ADV etc have even come on saying changes need to happen - members need to come together. They've also expressed some things needing to be added or subtracted from the VHL. Others, like the welfare system, also caught some punishment from a wide range of VHL users such as @jRuutu, @boubabi and company. 
 
The things we all have been focusing on lately are things we dislike. The fact that this has disappeared, or this went away. We miss them, or her or him. We hate how some people bitch and cry 24/7 and cause shit storms on the daily. We dislike how inactive players reap similar rewards that very active players get. The list goes on and on. In my eyes, it's a flawed system . We list off the things we dislike or hate about the site. I recently posted an article and received so much attention (it shocked me). This is good. Yet, it was bad. We started talking about the we disliked. It instantly and drastically caused a divide among members (something we don't need right now). At a time when we should come together, it seems a greater divide is occurring. We need to start focusing on what good the league has. Thus, here is a quick list of things I enjoy on the VHL (or reasons I log in most days).
 
1. I love the idea it offers  - make a player, not just "be a GM of an NHL team".
I've been in GM leagues for years and years now. If I had to throw a number on it, I'd guess somewhere around 8+ years. It's hard to believe given my age, but it could actually be even more. Hockey is a huge passion of mine. I'ma  huge Oilers fan and played hockey competitively as a kid and growing up. Being Canadian, the NHL was always a dream in the back of my eyes. Due to reasons left unexplained, the dream eventually faded. This is the closest I can get. Offering a different variety to the normal GM leagues is something I love.
 
2. The community is much more relaxed than the SHL
It seems like all the children go on to play over in the SHL, where we have the more mature community. Sure, it could be because the more people you have, the more assholes you have, but it doesn't overly seem to be the case here. We have a solid group of members. We argue, we bicker. Sometimes we don't get along. I like to think at the end of the day though we have a solid community of people here. This is something that everyone needs to learn to understand. 
 
3. Opportunity
I'm a GM. I GM'd Bratislava for 5 seasons and than moved onto the Bears for 8. While we haven't had huge success under my reign, we've had great seasons and the start was a learning curve. It's unlike any other league I've managed in, so it took awhile to gain experience. I feel more confident now. While the role has it's hardships (with fully enjoying players), I love the role and will always give 100%. My goal is to bring a cup to Seattle. What I like about the VHL is that if you want something, you can become it. Updater, GM, commissioner, mag writer etc. If you want it, put in the time and activity - it's yours. No hate, no discriminate.
 
4. Update Scale
I like that shit. Way more than the SHL tbh, but different rates of earning tpe is the one to blame for that.
 
 
Now, let's see how easy it is for the VHL community to list off something they like about the VHL. AAAANNNND... GO!
 
And with that, claim 6 for Forsberg please.
