Minot Success Hinges Upon Top Line The VHLM Dispersal Draft unfolded in an extremely unpredictable fashion, which was in a way almost predictable as there was a glut of players of similar talent levels and scouts opinions player to player tended to fluctuate wildly. When the dust settled and rosters for the upcoming season began to solidify, three teams seemed to stand out above the pack. Thanks to a multitude of early picks the Yukon Rush, Turku Outlaws, and Minor Gladiators stood out as the early favourites. Bruno Wolf is expected to provide offence and leadership to a young Minot team The Rush elected to use the draft as a way to build a balanced roster, selecting a goaltender, a forward, and a defenceman in the first round, while Turku opted to select two defenceman early before using the rest of their picks to build a deep and talented forward group. Minot was a sort of wild card in all of this, having three picks in the first round and then having to wait quite a while before making a fourth selection. With their later picks almost certainly going to be secondary players, Minot had to make their three first rounders count as those players would comprise the core of their team and a whiff on any of them would almost certainly result in a lost season. When all was said and done at the draft Minot had elected to use their three vital picks on forwards, creating a very top heavy team that lacked goaltending or a stand out defenceman. Anybody with knowledge of the game of hockey would scoff at the idea of team building around one line, after all hockey is a team game and putting all your eggs in one basket is hardly a recipe for success. However, Minot may be an exception, simply because that the amount of talent on that one line. Linholm's offence saw him go 2nd overall in the VHL Draft Bruno Wolf is the trigger man of the group. Out of Sterling Heights, Michigan, Wolf is a speed demon who is as adept at scoring as he is at throwing the body. His dangerous shot will victimize VHLM goaltenders all year and his penchant for throwing big hits will have defenceman looking over their shoulders all season. When the 7th pick rolled around for Minot there was shock and pleasant surprise that Jakob Linholm was still available. Arguably the most talented player in the draft, Linholm will do it all for Minot. He plays a two-way game while still being among the most offensively dangerous players in the VHLM. Linholm would probably challenge for the VHLM scoring title playing with a pylon and a rolled up newspaper but with Wolf and Galbraith by his side he should realistically be a favourite to lead the league in scoring. Galbraith is the third wheel on that line and brings speed and a talent for playmaking to Wolf’s scoring and Linholm’s all around dominance. Although Wolf, Linholm, and Galbraith are all wingers it is expected they will be placed together for the entirety of the year. Perhaps no team in the VHLM has as much invested in three players as Minot, as the lack of depth behind them means if they aren’t scoring odds are nobody is. Minot has in essence placed all of its hopes for success on three players, but there aren’t three other players quite like Wolf, Linholm, and Galbraith in the VHLM. The top line for the Gladiators absolutely needs to score and score often or the Gladiators simply won’t go anywhere this season, the overwhelming talent that comprises that line just might be enough to overcome deficiency’s elsewhere. At the very least Gladiator games will be exciting this year as the goals should be coming fast and furious. However it remains to be seen if the firepower from line one will see the Gladiators come out on top of these track meets more often than not, only time will tell if Minots strategy of stacking one line will be successful. There should be a lot of these going off in Minot this year

Oh look Hemsky has ANOTHER 3 point game for Ottawa! That's funny he has more points than the Oilers have goals since the trade deadline hahahahahahahahahakillme

Doubligne Leaves for Toronto, Adopts 30 Cats, Abandons Them The VHL Entry Draft concluded this week with the shocker of the draft being the selection of Anthony Doubligne Penis by somebody. But before leaving Oslo hopefully forever Anthony had one more dickish move in his toolbox. After purchasing plane tickets to Toronto, Anthony went to an Oslo area pet adoption center and adopted 30 different cats and kittens. The staff at the time rejoiced at this incredible act of generosity, not knowing that Anthony’s nature requires him to cause torment to all living creatures around him. Immediately after loading up all 30 cats in his VW Beetle he proceeded to drive around Oslo dropping them off near crowded intersections while presumably smoking illegal drugs. His actions were describe as “totally hilarious” and “literally the funniest thing he has ever done” by Doubligne. Reporters also noticed he had tattooed “#hahayolo420blazeit” across his arms and had a full mural of Chad Kroeger done on his back.

Did you know that Anthony Doubligne is actually French for "Worlds Biggest Dickhead"?

Remember kids, even if you only get 4 points in 20 games you're still a first line prospect. SUCK IT.

the "Fuck Zero"... because fuck that guy? We got a spot for you too Stamkos, the initiation is pretty easy. You have to cyber-bully Zero.

Can we start our own VHLM team and play whoever the fuck we want because we do whatever the fuck we want?

that's why we gotta be on the same team, I am easily confused

Be on my team please

Defensive Players Highlight Top End of VHLM Dispersal Draft With the VHLM Dispersal Draft occurring in the very near future, hype is at an all-time high. Several VHLM teams have loaded up heavily on S38 picks with the intention of constructing a contender for the upcoming season. The top end of the draft is a skilled group and headlined by two defenceman and a goaltender who are all contenders for the #1 pick. With that being said let’s take a look at those players and why they should or shouldn’t be the first overall pick. Defenceman: Dimothensis Vlasis Why should he go #1?: Vlasis is the best skater in the draft and in the conversation for the best skater in the VHLM. His speed and ability to get up the ice make him a danger joining the rush and he can make an impression on any game simply based on his raw speed. Vlasis knows his way around his own zone and shows a lot of promise to develop into a shut-down defenceman. Vlasis is a solid bet to become a franchise VHLM defenceman and looks to be a first rounder for a VHL team down the road. Why shouldn’t he go #1?: Although Vlasis has the expectation and ability to generate offence, there are some questions surrounding his ability to consistently put up points. Some scouts suggest that Vlasis has a lot of flashy tools yet the actual result he has on a game is negligible, a case of the whole equaling less than the sum of the parts. Vlasis is also slightly underside for a defenceman, standing at 6’2. Will this diminish his ability to develop into a #1 VHLM defender? Probably not, but there may be a safer bet out there. Goaltender: Kimmo Salo Why should he go #1?: Simply put, Salo is the best goaltender in the draft and has already developed into a #1 VHLM goaltender. Whoever takes Salo will be set in goal for the year and have a netminder with the ability to steal games on a nightly basis. Salo gives any team a franchise goalie and a GM peace of mind for the remainder of the season as they will know they’ll never have to worry about the man within the crease. Why shouldn’t he go #1?: There is no arguing Salo’s talent, when he plays he does well. The problem is any team taking Salo is likely looking at only keeping him for one season. His natural ability and work ethic will very likely result in him outgrowing the VHLM by the end of the season and seeing time in a VHL crease next year. This combined with the fact that there are always goaltenders looking for work in the VHLM may mean that factors outside of Salo’s ability will see him fall from the #1 spot come draft day. Defenceman: Vojzek Svoboda Why should he go #1?: Svoboda is somewhat of a wild card in the VHLM draft as he is an extremely raw prospect but scouts figure he has the highest upside in the entire draft. That’s where the appeal is with Svoboda, raw potential. Svoboda comes from a player agent with an extensive track record of developing franchise type players and it is expected Svoboda will follow that same path. Nobody will argue that Svoboda is the most developed player in the draft but you will find many scouts willing to bet the house that he’ll turn out to be the best of the bunch. Why shouldn’t he go #1?: Svoboda’s game can be summed up in one word, raw. He isn’t a great skater and currently struggles in the defensive zone, this combined with this inability to generate much offence at this point in time make him a hard sell for first. Although his potential is unquestioned, how long is a GM willing to wait for Svoboda to find his game?

you might be lucky to be a 3rd rounder imo

It's not adorable, it is real and very fierce. Did you know PAD actually supported Kony?

Penis Anthony Doubligne Refuses Donuts, Friendship from Galbraith The Oslo Storm were supposedly a tight group during the season, with no teammates supposedly hating the other. This positive vision around the team is now confirmed false, as teammates Ashton Galbraith and Penis Another Doubligne, or “Stupid Asshole” as he’s been called by his mother, are reportedly sworn enemies after Doubligne dickishly refused Galbraiths friendship. The incident resulting in this feud was initiated by Stupid Asshole as he called up the commissioner of the VHL in an attempt to suspend Galbraith for “not passing the puck enough” though sources suspect Stupid Asshole was simply jealous of Galbraiths good looks and ability to tell his left from his right on only the second try. Galbraith, hearing about this incident, extended a peace offering to Stupid Asshole in the form of delicious Tim Hortons donuts and coffee… an offer that was summarily rejected by Stupid Asshole, likely because he was too busy eating the meat of the endangered African Black Rhino to bother with donuts. When reached for comment Stupid Asshole was unable to provide one as he was stuffing his face with McDonalds in front of a homeless man… he was also wearing a shirt saying “Support Cancer”, all in all he’s a bad guy. This salad though, hilarious
