    the interference on gally happened after the puck went in though. Also he was cross checked in nothing could be done there. Burrows has a hearing so he'll get at least a game or a fine so it was dirty for sure, deserves 2 games IMO. The pick on Gilbert was called idk waht you're talking about. Vancouver had two in OT on their PP neither was called. 

     

    It's one game out of 82 so no skin off the habs back since they're first in the league, but they got jobbed IMO.

    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

    Lol at the baby names. It will not be a dutch sounding name. None of you were even close.

    And you were supposed to say Thomas O Malley so thanks for choosing me ;)

    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.

    Season 41 Entry Draft Rankings: Four Rounds

    in VHCS Draft Rankings

    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!

    17 Year Old Highschool Girl Names the VHL Teams

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted · Edited by Excel

    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.

     

    bruno-mars-snl-475x350.jpg

     

    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.

    Can we cut this type of stuff out? It really makes us as a collective group look bad. The league as a whole looks bad when the authority figures do things like that. Also ties into the whole "playing with trolls" aspect. Just go about our business and leave the S H L alone, we use it to recruit and a bunch of their members won't be coming back because of this.
