It's not hate on that Habs at all. The kid has a history of doing it and he was brushed, if thats a push then the school yard got a whole lot softer since I got out of grade school. To Habs fans saying Burrows has a history of dirty play, Gally has a history of goaltender inference. That caused a goal too. So both ways i guess. You don't personally blame the refs for the game, but at the same time personally blame the refs. It's been said for 2 pages now how sour it is. The game is over, give it up boys. It's the NHL, it has always been inconsistent and will continue to be. You say it was a fun game except for the Burrows part but at the same time excuse Subban for his little hissyfit against Daniel Sedin, the same Daniel Sedin who has averages less than a PIM per game. You guys are saying its not sour grapes, but thats exactly what it is. No way around that. Anyway there is games right now. DET is killing LAK!

I sure will, free ride. You get the front seat too. While I drive you you have to log onto the site and write my Media Spot half cut.

Solid effort!

Well done Blaine and team!

I said the Gilbert call was called, I said VAN had a pick 30 seconds later that wasn't called. Read. Also no Gally was on Miller when the puck was coming toward him. #thebiasisreal

I'm going as cop from the Village People.

Well I have to say you calling your kid Joey is a huge honour. I appreciate that and I also feel the same way about you Ivo. Because of that I have now named my pencil sharpener Ivo as well, because it is always on point like you.

If I add Jarome Ritchie I am 2/3rd's of the way to building my all Jarome line.

The Saskatoon Wild are pleased to announce that StevenStamkos (aka Shawn "The Dream" Howard) will be the Assistant General Manager. Shawn's attempts in the past have been halted by real life but we feel he has a lot of experience and knowledge to give to this franchise. Congrats Shawn!

The Season 40 crop can now be low forgotten and we can dive more closely into the Season 41 prospects. This seasons draft was thought to be average or slightly above by league comparisons. Looking into it more closely through TPE, activity and overall interest we actually see quite the deep draft coming along. Often times the league sees a nice benchmark at 100 TPE for a player to go in the first round of their respected draft class. This season we actually have around nine prospects that are on pace to eclipse that benchmark and four more than already have eclipsed the century mark. At this time last season the same number of prospects had over 100 TPE (4) except 10 other prospects were on pace for that mark. This bodes well for teams who may be able to pick up a solid prospect in the middle of the second round. Unfortunately with the good, comes the bad. This draft features 11 prospects who have not even registered a single TPE to help their cause. In last seasons draft class their were only nine prospects sitting on the big ol' donut. Let's take a closer look at the Big Draft Board and get some insight on where it stands and who we are looking at. The list features its most prominent player in Niklaus Mikaelson who is also the top goaltender of the draft at the number 1 ranking. Sitting behind him is stud blue liner Jack Kowalski who looks as dominate as players of the past like Don Draper and Mason Richardson. Holding down the third spot is Rift Pajodcast who despite his horrible name is making a bigger name for himself on the ice. Young Finnish defenseman Teuvo Ruutu rounds out the big four, however his progression isn't as quick as others rising through the rankings. Borje Samuelsson is making a name for himself lately with this rapid progression among his peers. Borje rose a couple spots on the draft board with his recent flurry of activity. AIM-11 continues his pace but is slowed up a tad with his progression compared to a few that were behind him last week. Let's hope the robot can smell an error in others that will allow him to compute better results next week. Jakob Ackerman is gunning for the best defensemen title as he speeds through the rankings up a spot from the previous weeks board. Ackerman looks like a very solid first round selection at his current pace in the VHLM. Gifford Shock joins the Top 10 list this week as it comes as no surprise that agent Noah Lefevre would have his player adapting well to the VHLM lifestyle. Markus Muller rises the rankings by the most of any prospect by six spots. Muller is from the same agency that longtime Cologne Express and Toronto Legion forward Reggis Dunlop is from. Once of the brightest spots on the draft board is in fact the prospect at #10 in Raphael Pettyfer. Pettyfer is a great addition to the VHLM and is another centre for a VHL team to build around. Getting into the thick of things and climbing into the spots that would be the second round, we see a lot of similarities. The separation of many of these prospects is by a mere handful of points here or there. At the magic number 11 spot we have Mario De Rossi who didn't climb or dive in the rankings. It could be good or it could be bad for De Rossi but staying still isn't always the best course of action. The biggest earner from the past draft board was Jakub Rhinehart who not only wasn't on that last draft board, but climbed all the way to the twelve spot. Till Baumann is slipping and its not looking pretty as he is the first person we come to that has significantly fallen from lack of progression. Fedir Okranitz is the second goaltender on our list and he rose to number 14 on the list this week. Fedir won't compete with Mikaelson for the top goaltender distinction but he is a solid insurance goaltender for any team looking for a project. Yannik Zug looked promising when he declared eligible but we haven't seen much from him or the guys around him like Maris Ziedins, Brandon Holmes or Jack Harness. A few new additions give us a leak into the twenties and beyond. Valentin Taneyev looks to be a promising prospect who wasn't on the board last time but has made it as high as 19 now. Kyle Kingma joins the board as well as we enter the "plenty twenties" and gives teams a slight peak at what the third round might have in it. Both Taneyev and Kingma were high rises in the TPE club and are now making a real name for themselves in this draft class. The twenty-one spot sees young Nicklas Karlsson diving down the charts unfortunately as well as joining the likes of Kristers Daugavins, Arthur Grosberg and Carl Sledgehammer. Fortunately a couple more new additions give us some hope in the later rounds. Dirk Firkley and Coca Cola make the list for their first time and may surprise a couple GM's if they can gain the ultimate amount of TPE possible. An interesting prospect entered the draft board this week as David Blind declared eligible for the S41 VHL Entry Draft. The significance is that Blind comes from the same factory that produced David Knight, David Night and David Januzaj. With a Hall-of-Fame pedigree behind him, Blind has some big shoes to fill upon his journey up this draft board. With eleven players not earning a single point it really looks poorly on the leagues retention efforts. The attempt to help these prospects might increase with the addition of the chat ability that has come on the board again. Here is hoping more prospects join, earn TPE and progress for the next Season 41 Big Draft Board! *All prospects please be aware of the VHLM Practice Facility, VHLM Training Camp, VHLM Fantasy Zone, VHL Fantasy Zone & VHL Fan 590 which are all available to you in addition to your weekly Point Task! *Joey Kendrick filling in for DJ Muff as he is having an issue with the charger for his laptop at the moment.

This past week a somewhat crazy story surfaced when a 17 year old girl from Brampton, Ontario found out what the Victory Hockey League was. The crazy part of the story was that upon looking at the names of each team, she decided to mock the Victory Hockey League. If you never caught the story, here are the names in which she dubbed the franchises we have grown to put our time into. Seattle Bears: "More like the Seattle Bums. They can't ice a competitive roster nor a more misleading moniker". Toronto Legion: "More like the Toronto Knees-in. As in their knees are in a circle jerk party. Quebec Meute: "More like the Quebec Mute, because I'm tried of hearing about them. They are so yesterday". Calgary Wranglers: "More like the Calgary Danglers, because their so out of shape their tits are dangling". New York Americans: "Americant's more like it. I'm from Canada, so need I say more?" Helsinki Titans: "You mean the Helstinki Titans? Has that been used before?" HC Davos Dynamo: "I feel like someone forgot how to spell Dynamite, like read a book or something". Cologne Express: "Cologne Expressuccinos, because I wouldn't be anywhere without Pumpkin Spice Lattes" Vasteras Iron Eagles: "What the fuck? Who was high when they thought of this". Riga Reign: "I don't know where this is, but they better have a Starbucks somewhere inner city". After this girl gave her take, she was being wheeled by METIS, to no avail as like Philadelphia 76ers, he has no game either.

The Saskatoon Wild are proud to announce their captains for the upcoming season! Remaining our leader in charge is Kurtis Hunter! He demonstrated the right attitude and is a big locker room personality. His partners in crime will be returning players Rami Jakobssen and Joshua Rubin! Congrats all and wear the sweater proudly! C: Kurtis Hunter A: Rami Jakobssen A: Joshua Rubin

I did this for fun. I even included a team that wasn't Vasteras! i

Hey you! Think you know your VHL history and trivia thoroughly? (I mean thoroughly) Because a legend continues in the small town of Saskatoon that keeps the early Victory Hockey League story strong. Were you ever a member of the Calgary Wranglers back in the early days? You may know a certain person back then was the heart and soul of the locker room until he got traded away in a confusing simmer transaction. You have all heard of the legend of CAL G and the point behind the name but there was a player before him that revolutionized the game we love today. I'll let you go search in the S39 VHLM Dispersal draft thread to find what I'm talking about. If you love nostalgia or simply get a kick out of opening old threads then you'll love it. Welcome to Saskatoon and we are ever so happy to have spent a year with you already!
