Hedgehog made something happen. This player will be in his last season so going somewhere to try and contend is the goal, Davos might just be that place. I'm no the move again! Mike Sillinger, I'm coming for your record

Oh wow I'm back in my old stomping grounds!

I love it

Only OG's will know this, but Calgary has been using Columbus since Season 1

Okay so you're sitting there wondering how on earth can 2020 get an ODE over me? Well it's no offence to anyone here (you probably are on my list of people anyways). I thought I would just stop and take a second to reflect. 2020 was a tough year for many including myself. I saw hurt, pain and loss much like a lot of people. At the same time I gained knowledge, I gained perspective and I gained the ability to say "I used to be ignorant to that, but now I have been educated by proper sources" a lot more than the past. The world saw some eye opening responses to a huge divide in social, racial and religious patterns. We saw a man pose as someone trying to help a country and claiming he knew more than science. We saw our planet showing us what would happen if we shut things down. We saw many species come back from extinction and we also saw health care workers perform under extreme pressure. To those of us that lost someone I hope you feed some peace somewhere in their story. To the members we lost because of reasons like COVID or other health concerns, we enjoy our time in their honour. So yes 2020 wasn't as planned, but we sure as hell are a resilient group and 2021 needs our strength!

Time for a joke: Daughter: "Dad, I saw a deer on the way to school this morning!" Dad: "How did you know it was going to school?"

If you were a dog, and this complaint was a tree, you'd be barking up the wrong one.

Alex, you got this man!

Thanks @FrostBeard for managing Malmo. Calgary I am back where I won my first ever VHL Title so many moons ago!

this guy

It's me, it's me it's DDT!

Wooo

I mean its a quality name I would say. Wish you luck sir!

Another Dawson, is that you brother?

Could Lewis Dawson be on the verge of changing uniforms? Dawson is not under contract after next season, thus the rumours have been flying. Dawson was in discussions with the Malmo front office but those discussions reached a bit of a lull. Some of the issues are that many of Dawson's best friends were shipped off the squad this off-season and it has created a bit of uncertainty. Relying on young unproven talent can backfire (it can also work out), but it does naturally give some anxiety to veterans on each roster. Dawson is a veteran who is five seasons into his career and has yet to walk away with any major trophy or award. Dawson is gunning for hardware but given his age, that window is slipping a bit. Lewis has had talks to management over what his ideal situation is and what he expects to see in the future. A three-time 30 goal scorer is hard to come by and Dawson could provide another team a chance at more production. Dawson was apparently upset with the lack of line chemistry and seeing others players on his team get paired with more suitable players hurt his chances at success.

This one isn't to a specific person but it's an ODE to all those members who came up with original names for their players. Gone (hopefully) are the days where Mike Boss comes on and only creates characters named Mike Boss. I mean at least @Tagger switches letters around. I always laughed at the people without a creative bone in their body to come up with a new name. It's sort of a role playing game when you create a new player for the simulation, but some just choose the same player. If you can think of any post them below, but there have been a lot of repeats. Years ago a lot of simulation leagues had Greg Clegane or any form of Lannister. I know for awhile there was a member that came on every 1-2 years of being inactive and would name a player the same thing. Now you may be asking, why does it matter? The reason I bring it up is because in an ever changing league and every changing statistics history; it seems rather strange you'd want to blend in with the same name. Be original, be unique and name players after new people or combination of names from different parts of popular culture.

@Crstats23

I was hoping that Jorgenson would get some love
