1) How do you feel about being the top contender to win the Founder's Cup but then choke to a team you've obliterated before?

2) If you get Drafted to the VHL who would you like to play for?

3) What are your thoughts about the Saskatoon Wild?

4) If you stay in the VHLM would you like to remain with the Rush or change teams.

5) What is your favourite team in the NHL and why?

1) It hurts. I thought we'd sweep the playoffs tbh. But Oslo worked their asses off and they deserve it

2) It's a cliche, but I'd be happy to play for anyone. As long as I get drafted, I'll make my case and show that team that they didn't make a mistake drafting me

3) They're a good team. It's unfortunate they lost so early in the playoffs but I respect them and I'm sure they're gonna be a good team next season

4) I mean I would like to stay with the Rush but I'm also open to playing on another team as long as I'm needed

5) Boston, because I used to live there

As the VHLM season and playoffs come to a close, I'd like to congratulate our champions, the heavily favored Yuko- wait, Oslo won?

Yes you heard it correctly folks, the Oslo Storm cap off the underdog story of dreams, taking out the Yukon Rush in 5 games. After Yukon capped off an absolutely dominating regular season going 62-8-2, the Rush faced the LVA in round 1. It's clear that the Rush came into the postseason as the favorites to win it all, after dominating regular season performances from Leph Twinger, Centis Kurtutecis, and Sergei Kovalev. On defense they boast a very respectable blue line with Alvaro Jokinen, Billy Pilgrim, Cayden Saint and Shawn Glade rounding out the top 4. In net they have two great goalies in Johnny Havenk and Greg Santos.

Round 1 for the Rush ended as quickly as it came, beating out LVA in 5 games to face the winner of Oslo-Ottawa. The Oslo Storm took that one in convincing fashion amidst a lineup scandal. The Rush and Storm split games 1 & 2 however Games 3 & 4 caused problems, overwriting the first two games. This obviously called for a re-sim, which resulted in Oslo taking a stranglehold on the series, 3-1. However the Storm took Game 5 early, with Yukon's Shawn Glade scoring the game's opener, but the Storm would answer with 3 goals in the first. Oslo carried that momentum into the second period, going up 5-1 before Leph Twinger and Vesto Slipher answered for Yukon. The Rush were dominating play in the third but Oslo's Rauno Palo dashed Yukon's hopes of a comeback, by making it 6-3 in the third, and winning the Founder's Cup. The Cup winning goal was scored by Mikka Pajari, scoring his first goal of the postseason, and was assisted by Shane Appelle who tallied his first playoff point on the goal.

Yukon has a lot of questions to answer now, with a good chunk of their roster leaving to play in the VHL next season. However there is one looming question: Why didn't Yukon starter Johnny Havenk play any games in the playoffs?

He awkwardly sips his water as the questions begin

I like these too. Will you be doing an article on the whole VHLM playoffs?

Hey @Will and @Higgins. I think we should redo the series again cause the first two games we were split but cause the system lost the results we simmed two new games and made olso won both so personally we should restart the finals again. That way it will make it fair. What do u guys think? 

I'm all for fairness even if u restart the finals again and storm wins but at least its fair.

Maybe it's just because I'm on Yukon so I'm biased, but I would agree. We split the first two and we lost those results. so we resim and Oslo wins both. Like to me it seems pretty odd that we lose the results where we won, and we end up getting smashed in a resim.

And it's no disrespect to Oslo either, they're a good team but from Game 3 onward this series got jumbled. Not to mention the lines for Yukon were different heading into a game 5, but I like to think the lines would've been different had we known that the series was gonna end like this

EDIT: I realize this sounds pretty whiny but I was salty when I wrote this post. I no longer care about a resim. I just hope everyone had a fun season and I love you all

Responding again, but hey if you can't find enough people to apply I'm down to try my hand here

Congrats team!

 

And great season Yukon. I truly thought it was gonna be a blow out season. But once @Smarch benched all his top tpe guys Oslo went for the push!

Smarch handed the reigns over mid-season. And I'm not really sure why the top TPE boys weren't playing

That's the same damn thing I'm saying. Hell now that I look back, I never even played in playoffs

I kept looking at lineups everyday waiting for you to play

God fucking damn it. If I was playing this could have gone differently.

Did Carison die or something? How come he wasn't in net?

Leph Twinger is my 6th player. I've never won a Founder's Cup before. All of a sudden I'm on a team in the VHLM that's so heavily favored, and we get fucked by Oslo. Makes zero sense.

 

This was my sure-fire chance to finally win a cup in the VHLM, and this happens. This is why I don't care at all about the VHLM.

I feel the same way. We lost like 10 games all season, heavily favored in the finals, and we lose in 5. I don't understand how that's possible

Sorry about the mixup with Games 3 & 4. I had to re-sim those 2, but conveniently it again ended up 3-1 Oslo after GM 4 so I didn't even have to rig it. 

 

My apologies. You'll all be thankful when Higgins is back for next season 

Wait, if it was 1-1 after game 2, and you resimmed games 3 & 4, which we split, it should be 2-2. Am I missing something here?

I just don't understand how we dominate literally all season long, and then we're just ass in 4 games straight. Seems pretty odd to me. Welp, guess I'm not winning the Founder's cup in season 1

Fuck. It's me (I'm covering for Higgins ATM). I must have switched to the VHL file without saving after the first two. Simming both leagues is really throwing me off if nobody noticed 

 

What were the original results of the first two games? 

 

Jesus Higgins internet can't come fast enough 

It unfortunately should be 3-1 Oslo right now. I don't have the scores for the first two, but how are stats gonna be handled? My player is playing out of his mind right now and scored a few points in the first two

12 TPE per week H O L Y

sounds like a fun job to have

Can't confirm or deny that half of the Rush team was hungover from a night out in Vegas, and that's why they couldn't finish this in 4. A whole lot different than the night life in Yukon.
