  1. Marcus has come from a lot of adversity throughout his career and it continues to happen as he hasn’t had the best start to his rookie campaign in the VHLM. Through ten games he only has three points and hasn’t played the best two way game you see from a player of his caliber. It is a little to early to judge, but people around the league have criticized his game through the first ten games. Of course it probably isn’t anything to worry about as he is still adapting to the different kind of game compared to junior. Last year Marcus played with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL and made a surprise departure at the beginning of this season. A lot of people don’t think his game isn’t really for the VHL yet. It will be interesting to see if Marcus can start to fit in better, and prove people wrong around the league.
  2. That's how I did it still doesn't work so I just gave up
  3. The site isn't letting post this media spot with the pictures just so the graders know. I can show you the pictures or whatever, thanks.
  4. Early S37 Draft Preview For a while it looked like the league was starting to thin out when it came to new talent joining the league. All of a sudden it looked like the S37 Draft was going to be quite the let down, but all of a sudden new talent started to come out of no where. Today we are going to look at some promising players that will be available come the draft. Tom Slaughter (LW) - 190 TPE Slaughter, who is playing with the Bratislava Watchmen this year is expected to go first overall after a few impressive years in the VHLM. He is one of the most talented play makers to probably ever enter the VHL, and is going to be a very exciting player for years to come. Even though he has had a slow start this season with the Watchmen, it’s the work ethic that impresses everyone. Bratislava is expected to win it all this year with most arguably one of the best rosters to ever be put together. They have backed that up with an impressive 14-0 start to the season. Slaeter Fjorsstrom (D) - 173 TPE The five foot ten defenseman who also plays for the Watchmen is expected to battle for the top pick in the draft with Slaughter. Through 14 games this year Fjorsstrom is a disappointing +1 and only has six assists. This doesn't mean anything according to many general managers, as they know what kind of player he is. He has been known to play a very risky game for a defenseman, but his style can pay off largely. Whichever team manages to land him is going to have a great offensive defenseman for years to come. Blaine Olynick (G) - 63 TPE Arguably the best goaltender in this years draft has been criticized for not having the best work ethic and that definitely scares some teams. Olynick could go anywhere from third overall to tenth overall in the draft depending on whoever is on the clock. This season he is playing with the Bern Royals and has posted a 5-1 record to start the year. His save percentage and goals against average numbers aren't the best, but he wins games and that’s what teams want in the VHL. He has a very interesting style of play, which some say remind them of Tim Thomas. Olynick is posed to prove people wrong this season and become a top pick in the draft. Konstantin Azhishchenkov (C.) - 34 TPE Lastly is a surprise player who came out of no where and has been having a very good start to his rookie campaign. Through 16 games this year he has 14 points which is impressive for any player in the VHLM. The almost point per game pace has been noticed by many people across the league and he is definitely making a case to be a top five pick in this years draft. It will be interesting to see if he can keep this pace up and prove people wrong. Being a Russian born player does scare some teams away, but if he can commit to this league, he will be a amazing player.
  5. I'd have to agree with you Modern Warefare 2 was probably the best all time imo. I didn't like Ghosts in the beginning but it definitely grew on me after a bit, now I play quite a bit.
  6. Hey guys, in mid February, I am thinking about doing a spur of the moment trip to Thailand while I am able to. This fall I will be pretty much locked into a 4 year apprenticeship program, and this probably one of the only times between now and the 4 years I will be able to travel. I have good knowledge about Thailand, but was just curious if anyone has ever been there? I am planning on backpacking and living for relatively cheap, staying in hostels, eating off cheap food trucks. My main destination will probably end up being Phucket because I have a friend that lives there, who I want to hangout with for a week or two. If anyone has ever been and has some tips for me or anything I should know, let me know! Also I've done a decent amount of backpacking, last year I went with a couple friends around Mexico for 2 months, was quite the adventure. Hopefully some of you have been and have some tips for me
  7. Bad Grandpa 6/10 Wasn't overly impressed with this movie, maybe I just went into it expecting to much after seeing the preview. It had it's moments, but overall it honestly wasn't that great. Kind of glad I downloaded rather then paying to see it. On the other hand I am looking forward to seeing Wolf of Wallstreet, hopefully I can convince the girlfriend to go to is this weekend.
  8. Anyone here up to play some ghosts on xbox, none of my clan guys are on and I am in the mood to play, and unfortunately all my friends are horrible lol. Let me know
  9. I think it's time to close this topic.....
  10. I guess it doesn't really matter if a team picks you up off waivers, because apparently you don't get put on the roster anyways.....
  11. Thank god I'm of too Thailand in Febuary for 6 weeks
  12. My car barely started this morning, thank god I have the old camry for the winter car, always reliable.
  13. Fine if you say so....
  14. Haha, I don't bother wasting my money going to Blades games this year they are embarrasing, I'd rather sit at home and drink my face off and not pay $7 a beer. And yeah they are all horrible refs, it's funny in high school Byblow was my biology teacher and me and all my buddies would go to games and make fun of him at school the next day... He is probably the worst out of the 3
  15. Found this pretty cool, they should definitely do this more often!
  16. After getting picked up off waivers by the Yukon Rush, Marcus Bjorkstrand is getting anxious to play in his first game with the team. He has practiced with the team twice now, and the coach says he is fitting in very nicely and is ready to play his first game. One thing Marcus stated that he wanted to improve on was his physical game coming into a league where he knows puck battles are going to be harder. Making the transition from junior hockey to Pro can always be tough for any player but, Marcus says he is ready. It will be interesting to see how he does in his first couple games in the league. Marcus says he has no pressure coming into the season, because there isn’t very much hype about him. He is supposed to play the next game with Yukon on the third line but, doesn’t know who his line mates are yet.
  17. No problem! And thanks, appreciate it!
