AwfulHomesick

Every hockey player has their own hobbies outside of the game they play, of course. Within the VHL and the VHLM, there's a collection of players that have formed a bond that brings them together, and that is professional wrestling. With the regular season currently in full swing for both leagues, the players have all breathed a sigh of relief when upon looking at their schedules, noticing that there are no games to be played on April 6, 2014. The same day as WrestleMania 30. This group of players, some names such as Logan Laich, Kimmo Salo, Steven Smyl, Wesley Kellinger, Blaine Olynick, Brick Wahl, among others took upon this opportunity to buy front row seats to this storied event. "I'm going to be wearing my Heath Slater shirt, hopefully I can get a picture with him," said a suspiciously excited Brick Wahl. Logan Laich has been vocal about being fed up with WWE and their booking, but since Daniel Bryan has been technically added to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture, the rest of the group has been pretty happy he's stopped complaining. Some signs that the group plans to bring include phrases such as "Heath Slater for World Champ!", "I'd rather be watching ROH", and "Cena's okay!". Going to last year's WrestleMania, Blaine Olynick thinks this one will be much better. "It was nearly 30 degrees that day, I was sitting in the 5th to last row, I had drunks around me, and the only good match was Punk vs Taker, which was predictable." No matter how the night ends, it's still about being at such a spectacle like WrestleMania. The VHL(M) stars will be sure to set their on ice differences aside for this one night.

This is cool as fuck.

Content: 3/3 - Hey look at that, I'm a part of history! Despite Staal's numbers I was always proud of his play, being on weaker VHL teams. Sadly I never got to play for Vasteras, only to put my name out there more for Stockholm. Grammar: 2/2 - Excellent. Appearance: .5/1 - Not having a picture here makes it look very bland, along with a lack of color. Overall: 5.5/6 Final: 6/6

You shut your whore mouth.

There are no words.

Both locations sit 4,484 miles away from each other. They practically have nothing in common with each other. But in the VHLM, they are pretty much a mirror image of each other. Before the VHLM season began, many experts pointed to the Yukon Rush of the North American Conference and the Bern Royals of the European Conference to make a huge push at a Founders Cup this year. So how have the predictions been holding up? Well, a little over halfway through the season, it's been just that. Both the Rush and the Royals are leading their respective conferences in points. Both share at least a ten point lead ahead of the second place team, which is just one example of both teams' domination over their opponents. Through 40 games played, the Rush have just one more win over the Royals, with 36. With those wins, they both share four losses, and the Royals have one more overtime loss than the Rush. For goals for, the Royals lead the entire league. The Rush are one of the top teams in that category, but sit just third overall behind the Gladiators. The Rush are seen as a much more defensive team than the Royals, leading the entire league with 71 goals against, 24 less than the Royals' 95 goals against, who sit second overall. Much of the great defensive numbers for the Rush and Royals can be credited to the play of both young goalie stars Kimmo Salo and Blaine Olynick. Both goaltenders are far ahead of all the other netminders of the VHLM in nearly every stat category. Salo and Olynick are currently tied for first with 35 wins a piece. Salo has an eye opening of only 3 losses while Olynick currently holds only 4 losses. Their save percentage has been fairly similar all season long, as currently, Salo carries a .915% while Olynick holds a .910%. Once the ballot for top goaltender opens up after the season, there's no doubt that the race will be solely between Salo and Olynick. The main key components in terms of skaters for both teams have come from all around the ice. For the Royals, their top point scorer has been defenseman Ron World Peace. From having a respectable performance last season to becoming the main key to winning for the Royals this season, there is no argument that World Peace is going to become an excellent two way defenseman in the VHL. For the Rush, leading the way is Konstantin Jaroslav Azhishchenkov (KJA). Despite not leading the team in points, KJA has been the most hard working skater on the current Rush roster. After joining the team through the Dispersal Draft, KJA's play has been making strides game by game. Analysts thought the separation from former Lynx line mate Travis Boychuk would be critical to his production, but KJA has silenced the critics. Out of the 7 games of the season series between the two teams, the Rush have the lead with a 3-2 advantage. Only one of those games have been contested past regulation, with a shootout win for the Rush. Yukon has scored 19 goals, while Bern has come up with only 12 goals. It seems that the x-factor in these games have been specialty teams. The Yukon Rush are responsible for eight power play goals against the Royals. The Royals power play has only scored a single goal in 17 power plays. The Royals' power play percentage against the Rush (75.76%) is the worst against all other VHLM teams this season. Most experts see Yukon and Bern continue on through this path of destruction, eventually meeting in the Founders' Cup Finals. With the stats between the two being so close so far, nobody has a conclusive winner if they were to meet. No matter how it ends, it's very likely the series will be one to remember.

This one stings.

As the VHLM season continues on, one of the more notable VHLM Season 37 storylines include the two goaltender prospects of the past VHL Entry Draft. After a respectable Season 36 for both young goaltenders, they're currently taking names and turning heads. Both of the players' stats look eerily similar, making the playoff race for each of their respective teams, the Yukon Rush and the Bern Royals. Kimmo Salo and Blaine Olynick are currently sitting tied for first place with 26 wins. With their similar save percentage at .915 and .908, same amount of shutouts with 2, although an eye opening different goals against average numbers for the two netminders (1.67 for Salo; 2.34 for Olynick), they are making this season one for the history books. The two goalies have always been neck and neck in competition ever since Season 36 began. With the numbers the two currently have, it would be to no one's surprise if the two goalies kept this friendly competition up to when they get their VHL careers started.

Can't seem to play it. Only download it.

I've never seen a player play with more heart than Zach Parise. EDIT: inb4 Rich Peverley

"We have a LeBaby coming!"

Good win Royals!

Happy because I went to the gym for the first time in a long time. Mad because I went to the gym.

Fuck. That's a rollercoaster of emotions.

I'd love to see Haitch win both matches just to see how pissed the IWC gets.

Happy because it's Spring Break Mad because since it started I've been sick and all my other friends' Breaks have ended already.

This is incredible stuff.
