Welcome to the VHL!
 
I would offer you a spot on the Saskatoon Wild, but I already have two goalies, and I imagine you would prefer to be more than an emergency goalie. Other @VHLM GMs will be here shortly to get you onto a team before the season begins next week!
 
Good luck to you, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

It's also @dasboot and @Berocka 's homeland so they are owed as much credit for living in this paradise of democracy and press fairness and freedom.

Donald Trump mentioned before his race with Hillary that if he didn't win he wouldn't accept it and that there was fraud. I just watched a shit ton of videos on it and all of the old presidents leaving office and welcoming new president-elects. I believe a majority of them handed it over respectfully and such. They probably weren't the happiest but always seemed happy and put USA and democracy first. Bush was inviting Obama over. McCain would correct people when they said Obama was a bad person during their race with "he isn't. He's a good man". Trump was calling fraud during his 2016 race and he's calling fraud now. 

The fake video that circulated Trump ended up posting on his Youtube account after Twitter took it down on Trump JR's page... they fixed the little noise at 35 seconds and now to me, you can't tell it's fake and I only do because I seen the original... and you should of seen how scary some of the comments were.. There's election fraud but it's okay for you to toss around misinformation and fake videos etc  
 
If there's fraud, fine. For the sake of democracy I'd accept it... but I just need to see the proof of all these stats and what he's saying. Either way, he has given team USA an enjoyable platform to mock during VHL's S74 World Cup.  

Oh

Why are we attacking donations anyways? Donating costs money and my time spent at work requires effort and time and the TPE gain you get from donating is hardly a make or break point for a player's overall TPE. Since my prior stance on how welfare works is well documented and you're just crazy and overlooking the fact that welfare players aren't comparable to actives, I spend more time on VHL than you, so aside from PTs, you should technically be weaker than me. All you do is submit an article once a week to be on the same level as me, but I spend countless hours here being actually active.
 
Overall content is what it is, a discussion point that has gone on for a long time by various parties. Formatting of the PT is fine, no glaring errors but not much used in terms of bolding or creative writing structure. It does have a graphic/picture so you get the point there. Also not much in terms of supporting facts here to support your statements though either so it kind of comes down to the proverbial "fake news" type info.
 
7.5/10

Even though I have not resorted to welfare on this player, I'm really opposed to removing/change it. There already is a 1 tpe penalty a week for pensioners and a 2 tpe penalty cap a week for newer players (or people like @RomanesEuntDomus who came just short and the rules were changed after).
 
But the welfare system is one of the reasons the league flourishes in terms of players here, i would not take away or change this into something meaningless. If you want to be the best, you still have to work for it. If you are satisfied with the lower cap, you can still make a great player, and that's how it should remain.

As someone who can't tell you what I predicted 5 seconds after I submit my predictions I think it's pretty safe from corruption.

stfu rory

Congrats on your induction G

Nerfing welfare will make me leave, for one. I put in the work with multiple players in the past but don't have the time to write MS + .com every week. 

A lot of time super active guys may want to nerf welfare but tbh it’s not something the league is too interested in. We recognize we have a lot of members and everyone has different levels of free time. Welfare n the whole helps the community.

Time to blame Moscow if we lose
@Patrick Tallinder
 

Holy hell, this didnt happen before? 
 
Thanks everyone for the votes and thanks to everyone in Malmo for making awesome players around me, could not have done this alone!

Grats all

There's only been all 3 awards since S62 or S63 - Smitty won all 3 but never in one season, I think the Wylde is hardest to combine with a high scoring season. So well done to Adrienne, looks like another Hall of Famer for you smh lol.
 
Key differences are Lafontaine didnt have the outright lead in shutouts and save % in S72 while Bernard had 200 extra shots faced. Neither made the top 10 in shots faced this season so the team factor was also less obvious- I think Calgary was still a good defensive team, just low scoring, unlike S72 Moscow.
 
 
Great job @Doomsday, best presented ceremony to date imho! Dont you dare leave me again. 
 
And thank you all for the votes for top GM - third in 10 seasons in Moscow! Wish it was three cups instead but at least it seems people still think I know what I'm doing which is a plus. And of course...
 
 
MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW 

Well folks, it has been a memorable evening full of fun, history, and recognition of elite play and contributions to the league. We're entering Season 75 now, as hard as it is to believe. 75 VHL seasons. That's a lot of history, a lot of members, and a lot of stories. Each one of you, along with those before us, have made all 74 of the previous seasons possible. All of you have been, and will continue to be, essential for keeping our great league alive.
 
I personally want to thank all of you for making this league so great through it's community. It has personally done a lot for me, even when I didn't deserve it. I always cherished my memories from the 30s and 40s VHL while I was away, and the league always welcomed me back with open arms in spite of the several failed comebacks. It felt great to finally reward your faith in me after so many comeback bids that never were. I truly love this community. It has been a godsend during this pandemic, and a great source of true friends and joy. My shortcomings as Editor-In-Chief of VSN were disappointing to me, as I felt I had left them, and the community as a whole, down. I did not expect the outpouring of love and support that I did, and frankly, that meant the world to me. I was on the path to slowly vanishing again, until I recognized what was happening and put a stop to it… and the community ensured that I stayed. Being able to go back to writing, even after all that, I was still entrusted to present this award show to you. That's the faith and support that builds a strong community, and I don't care what anyone says, you guys and gals are the absolute best. Thank you to all of the members, @Mr_Hatter, @Beaviss, @fromtheinside, @bigAL, @a_Ferk… everyone who helped make tonight happen.
 
So, once again, this is not a farewell, but an until next time. We're out of hardware to present, so unfortunately it's time to go home. So I bid you all good night, good hockey, and let's make this upcoming season the most memorable one yet.
 
Happy 75th, Victory Hockey League.

Patrik Tallinder - Mikko Lahtinen - Brock Louth 
Condor Adrienne - Vladimir Pavlov
Raymond Bernard
 
Is there any combination of players out there capable of stopping this group? Three of the VHL's absolute best scorers, who include the points leader, the MVP, and the playoff MVP. Tallinder, Lahtinen, and Louth is a dream combination, and VHL blue liners are very happy they won't have to face it. Condor Adrienne and Vladimir Pavlov are a deadly tandem at defense, capable of both scoring and shutting down opponents with ruthless proficiency. Add Raymond Bernard in net, and this is an absolute force of a team. Be thankful they won't all be able to play together… but let's not give Victor any more evil ideas.
 
Congratulations to the Season 74 All-VHL First Team!!
