Thank you for dealing with my outlandish question! Love this!

Game 88 - Mississauga Hounds vs. Halifax 21st For a game that ended up with one team having 53 shots on goal while the other legitimately had 6 shots on goal per period for the entire game, it's surprising that the game was decided by one goal. An all-Canadian VHLM matchup; we have Mississauga and Halifax facing off. There was no action at all. The only action the crowd got to see was B-MIS D1 taking a hooking penalty. However, there was a bit more to see in the second period. Starting off the period quickly, almost acting like an apology for the lack of action taking place in the first 20, Halifax kicked off the scoring with a goal 33 seconds in. The goal scorer was Jeffrey Bezos with his 14th goal, assisted by Babay Shrimp (whose name, for some reason, I can't help but sing to the tune of baby shark) and Vinny Lecavalier. And about 6 minutes later, Halifax increased their lead with a goal from Bedirhan Paard, also scoring his 14th. This time, the goal was assisted by Pasi Anssi. Then Mississauga cut the lead in half with B-MIS C3 scoring on the power play with B-MIS D6 and B-MIS RW3. I'm surprised that B-MIS is proving to be such a popular first name. Who knows? This could be a name trend poised to explode in the future. I digress; we head to the second intermission with a Halifax 2-1 lead. Then in the third, nothing happens except for a hooking penalty taken by Vinny Lecavalier. That was the end of the game and Halifax won 2-1. Considering they had the shot lead of 53-18, Mississauga should be thankful for Justin Lion's extraordinary performance. Game 98 - Halifax 21st vs. Mississauga Hounds Ten VHLM games later, these two teams met again. No preface needed, let's get right into it. Mississauga, while their offense is limited, it is consistent as they got 18 shots on goal yet again. Halifax had 41. The first of those shots on goal was from Jeffrey Bezos starting the scoring off yet again to give Halifax a one goal lead 27 seconds in. Assisted by Babay Shrimp and Vinny Lecavalier. Huh. Deja vu. Then a second Halifax goal was scored by... Bedirhan Paard. Assisted by... Pasi Anssi? Wow. Serious deja vu. For a second, I thought I was looking at the wrong game. Those two surprisingly familiar goals were the only goals in the first frame. I swear, it's like the VHL is a simulation. Anyways, the game entered the second frame. 50 seconds in on the powerplay, Babay Shrimp scored to increase the lead to 3-0. Then Baby scored again less than a minute later to extend the Halifax lead even further. There were no more goals in the second until the last minute and 5 seconds. TurkeyBig scored to increase the Halifax lead even more. Up 4-0 going into the third, Halifax was looking poised to take the win. Mississauga needed a hero. Justin Lion was playing as well as he could but he needed some help on offense. Either one of the 18 B-MISes (seriously, what is with this name trend?) or Ben McLaughlin needed to score to help Mississauga get back on track. They found their hero in B-MIS RW1, who scored to get Mississauga on the board. All they needed was three more goals... which they didn't get. Halifax, naturally, wins.

1. For theme week, I'd love to see a theme about jerseys and logo! It'd be fun to talk about jersey concepts or some of our favourite logos in the VHL. 2. Probably the Chicago Phoenix. They were tough in the playoffs last season and still have a solid team that can turn things around again. 3. Not really. In terms of selling, maybe Toronto. Perhaps they'll be looking to rebuild? I can also see the Dragons looking to buy and bolster their team before the playoffs. 1. Out of any piece of hockey gear, which article of gear would you be most particular about when buying new gear? I said gear a lot, sorry. 2. If the VHL had VHLE affiliates, what current teams would you have affiliate with each other? 3. VHL hockey is prevalent in North America and Europe... outside of those two continents, what city would you love a VHL/E/M team to occupy?

SEATTLE - Hitting has always been a part of hockey. While rules have reduced the amount of unsafe hits, hitting is still a prevalent skill needed in today’s top leagues. This can be seen in former Bears’ captain Vinny Detroit’s play and his consistent ability to hit. Another example of a consistent hitter is Sigard Petrenko. He is a couple of hits away from 1200 career hits. In terms of hits, he has come off a career 292-hit season. Hitting has always been Sigard’s bread and butter when scoring didn’t work. You wouldn’t think that such a consistent hitter would come out of a 5’8” winger, however, Sigard has proven to be one tough cookie on the ice. Even in the VHLM, Sigard hit and hit hard. “Hitting is an art.” Sigard stated in an interview. “It is not the prettiest of hockey skills and can take a toll on the body. But if hitting gets my teammates the puck, then hitting is what I’ll do. If I can’t score, I’ll make sure that I’m physical. It is hard to find the balance because sometimes you might get penalized a lot if you hit too much. However, when done right, I think a good hit can be appreciated.” The winger was asked the secret to hitting. “Hit smart, not hard. A hit that knocks someone off their feet is useless if their teammate is just gonna pick up the puck. But if you can hit in a way that can angle them off the puck AND allow you or your teammates to take possession, that’s a good hit.”

Game 18 - Vancouver Wolves vs. Calgary Wranglers It's that time of the season again! Time for an all-West-Canadian matchup! That's a lot of hyphens and this game featured a lot of goals! The Wolves got this matchup underway late in the first period with a goal courtesy of Dogwood Maple. Going into the second period, Vancouver was winning but Calgary looked to change that. Just before the 14th minute of the second frame, Luc Tessier scored on the power play for Calgary. The Wranglers had tied it up. Unfortunately, Nico Pearce and Alexandre Leduc each scored their first goals of the season to give the Wolves a two goal lead. Now that the Wolves had a 3-1 lead in the second intermission, they prepared to close it out. The Wranglers needed two goals to get back in this one, three to get the win. So the third period began and was uneventful. For one minute. One minute into the third, the Wranglers capitalized on another Wolves penalty, courtesy of Leandro Goncalves. 3-2. The Wolves were still up one goal. Then 27 seconds passed and Saku Kotkakoivu potted one to tie the game up. And then a few minutes later, Erlantz Jokinen gave Calgary the lead. 4-3. The Wolves were now losing. They needed a goal in the wake of the unprecedented comeback from the Wranglers. Henry Eagles scored, to the relief of Wolves' fans, to tie the game up within in the last five minutes. Now we're going into overtime. Well, for 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Saku Kotkakoivu scored another goal to win the game for Calgary. Game 29 - Riga Reign vs. Helsinki Titans Europe time! Across the ocean, Riga and Helsinki duked it out. Let's get into the action right away because the Titans sure did. Hayden Rain scored on a Riga powerplay... for the Titans. A quick shorthanded goal 1:32 in gave Helsinki a quick lead over Riga. Both teams were almost even in shots on goal, with Riga only having one more SOG than Helsinki. This evenness was a theme in the first period as Ashton Komaryk scored for Riga to make up for the early SH goal they had given up. The first period ended and eventually, the second period began. Interestingly enough, Riga lead in SOG, 19-11. However, the lead that mattered ended up going to Helsinki with Chikeli Cholo scoring almost 8 minutes in with their first of the season. Hayden Rain continued to persist and eventually scored another goal for Helsinki, extending the lead to 3-1. Unfortunately for Riga, unlike the Wranglers in the previous game, they couldn't overcome a 3-1 lead and Helsinki held it together to give themselves the win.

1. Hockey is definitely my favourite sport! It is a sport of balance. Obviously, you balance on your skates. You have to balance prioritizing defense and offense. It is a perfect balance between grace and finesse as well as tough nosed play (getting less true nowadays, admittedly but in favour of safety of players, which is good). 2. My favourite position would have to be a goalie. I don't know about you but goalies are so cool! In terms of playing, I'd probably choose forward but in terms of watching and appreciating, GOALIES for sure. 3. I do that all the time and it haunts me every night. I'm doing it right now and trying to type what it is but I can't seem to put my finger on it. 1. Would you rather be a player scoring a hat trick or a goalie getting a shutout? 2. Which player do you think deserves to be in the NHL Hall of Fame but hasn't been put in it yet? 3. What non-NHL city do you think has a great hockey presence?

TOKYO - Japanese hockey and Asian hockey as a whole has always been on the rise, slowly developing and continuing to try and improve. While it may not be that popular of a sport in those areas, Japanese hockey is quietly but surely alive, especially through the national women’s team which is ranked 7th in the IIHF’s World Rankings. Ryuu Crimson might have grown up in Canada but he is still deeply in touch with his Japanese heritage and will be going to coach the Japanese women’s hockey team for the upcoming IIHF Women’s World Championship. Known slightly for his scoring touch and much more known for his tough and rough hockey playing style, he promised improvement. “Japanese Ice Hockey is often slept on and I think this very team is living proof of that. They are competing with some well developed hockey countries and holding their own. And they look like they are only going to get better. Using my experience from the VHL and the short experience I had in the NHL, I promise to help bring Japanese hockey to the next level with whatever I can contribute. I have a feeling that Japanese hockey will be excellent very soon.” Ryuu Crimson, a solid winger who scored 20+ goals per season consistently in the VHL as well as a current AHL coach. Japanese hockey, a solid force in international play. Who knows? Perhaps they can make something out of this.

S84 World Cup Game 14 - Team USA vs. Team Canada Well, the battle of North America is always a great spectacle. Canada and the USA have always had exciting battles in hockey and this historic rivalry never fails to disappoint. The two countries had a close and hard-fought game in the round robin. The action started immediately. Canada got a power play 19 seconds in and Poopy Peepants scored 0:41 into the game to give Canada a quick 1-0 lead. However, Canada took a penalty of their own and Team USA took advantage, with blueliner Max Torq scoring. Shortly after, Max Torq scored yet another goal to give Team USA their first lead of the game. Going into the first intermission, Team USA was winning 2-1. In the second period, Team Canada needed a goal to tie it up. They got exactly that 36 seconds in, courtesy of Alexandre Leduc. That was the only goal of the frame and in true classic rivalry fashion, we were going into the last period in a deadlock. Third period. This game was tied and all a team would need is a single goal. Near the end of the frame, the game ended the same way it started. With a power play goal from Poopy Peepants. S84 World Cup Game 15 - Team Western Europe vs. Team Nordic Let's get straight to the action. The first period started. 6 minutes and 23 seconds passed by until Paul Atreides took a pass from Duncan Idaho and scored the opening goal. That would give Team Western Europe a quick one goal lead. Team Western Europe also had a lead on shots on goal going into the second (22-13) and Team Nordic couldn't respond in the first, giving Western Europe a lead on the scoreboard. The second eventually came along and Team Nordic completely turned the tables in the shots on goal category. A 24-9 SOG lead also helped them score two goals this period. A power play marker from Asher Reinhart halfway through the frame tied the game up. Then Saku Kotkakoivu scored to give Team Nordic a 2-1 lead. However, Team Western Europe scored a power play marker of their own, courtesy of Daniel Janser. That tied it up before the end of the second. That's right, we're witnessing another 2-2 deadlock. And just like the last game we recapped, this one would be decided with a power play goal. Unfortunately for Team Nordic, a penalty was taken and Nico Pearce scored to give Western Europe the 3-2 lead. Then Ronan Lavelle scored just after 8 minutes into the period as insurance. Western Europe won this one, 4-2.

1. My goal with Sigard is to get one more championship. All I need is one more. Preferably with the Bears. I have never won more than one championship with a single player. 2. I like the re-tool and I still believe we can be a force in the playoffs next season. I have a feeling we can be a dark horse for the championship. Besides, we did it last season, why not believe in it still? 3. I would have to say full vacation. Having access to going home is nice and all but sometimes it's nice to be in some other place with no distractions or reminders of your stress back home. 1. 3ICE Hockey is something I recently discovered and I am slowly getting interested in. Basically you can only have 3 players (+ a goalie) on the ice at a time! (Think NHL OT 3v3 because that's what it basically is) If your player was on a roster like this, which VHL players would you like your player to play with? 2. The VHL needs mascots. That is an objective fact. Give me your best mascot idea for any VHL (M and E included) team. 3. If you had to compare your VHL player to an NHL player (past or present), who would you compare them to?

WHEREVER THE WORLD CUP WAS HOSTED, I FORGOT - Sigard has been hard at work preparing himself to get in hockey shape for this next season. Playing in the World Cup is definitely a good way to do that. A winger for Team Eastern Europe, Sigard played alongside former Seattle teammate Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems, as well as current Seattle teammate Mikhail Kovalchuk. Sigard wasn’t a big offensive presence and admittedly only played a depth role. 2 goals and 5 assists in 10 round robin games, followed by 1 goal and 1 assist in two tournament games (the semis and finals) was the statline that Sigard had. Not too shabby. Team Eastern Europe was able to get the job done by the end of the tournament and won Gold. Sigard was beaming. It’s not often you get a chance to win a medal for your region. “I was admittedly unsure of whether or not I should go to the World Cup. It was hard to find motivation coming off the offseason but I was able to get my legs under me and do what I could. While I wish I could have contributed more, things worked out in the end and our team got the gold. That matters more than any individual success I could have and I’m so proud of this team. It was an honour to play with all of these excellent players. Definitely getting this medal framed.” Sigard said in an interview.

Founder's Cup Semi-Finals - Las Vegas Aces vs. Mexico City (Games 3 & 4) It's game 3 with the Aces and Kings tied in the series one to one. Both teams looking to break the tie. The Kings started the scoring off with a goal from Alexander Stroheim just over seven minutes in. The Aces scored almost two minutes later courtesy of Al Land. Going into the first intermission, the Kings were outshooting the Aces 11-7 but both were tied 1-1 on the scoreboard. Looking to get some offence going, the Aces were hoping to score another to take the lead. And they did with Robert Overmeyer scoring on the power play. However, they later took a penalty themselves and the Kings responded in kind with a power play goal of their own. The second ended and the game was still tied. The shots on goal were almost even, the Aces taking one more SOG. Both teams were looking for ways to get the lead in the second intermission. Only one goal was scored to seal the win for one of the teams. Who scored? Another penalty would cost the Kings the win as almost 4 minutes in, Fred Hampton potted a power play goal that would give the Aces the lead and ultimately the series lead as well. That was the only goal scored in the third, giving the Aces a 3-2 victory. The Kings were looking to tie up the series in Game 4 while the Aces wanted to put the Kings in an elimination situation. The Kings would rally however and would score two consecutive power play goals to start the game 20 seconds from each other. William Futch and Scottie House (with his first of the playoffs!) would be the goal scorers, giving the Kings a 2-0 lead about 4 minutes in. However, in the latter half of the period, The Frenchman would turn some incredible effort into two goals, tying the game up. Fortunately for Mexico City, Nikolas Kauppi scored in the final minute of the period on a power play to give the Kings a 3-2 lead by the end of the first. 3-2 was enough to win it last game but it wasn't enough this game as Al Land would tie it up for Mexico, scoring about four and a half minutes into the second period. Miguel Martinez Gonzalez scored later in the period to give the Kings the lead back. That was all for the second and Mexico was again barely holding on to a lead with one goal. Now the Aces were looking to tie the game while the Kings wanted to tie the series. The former got their goal done as Womp Womp Womp Womp Womp Jr would score just over 16 minutes into the third, tying the game at 4-4. And the Aces would continue to rally in the third, James Kagelberg winning the game for them late into the third with a goal. 5-4 was the score.

1. I'm calling it quits temporarily because I want to focus on my grade 12 year. I'm graduating this year but I'll def come back. Love this community and it's always fun being a part of the VHL. 2. In the VHL? Definitely being a goalie. Being Lafontaine was definitely one of my favourite experiences in the VHL and trying to set myself apart from other goalies (and failing). It also helped me form rivalries with Spyro and Rookie, two of my closest fellow VHLers. In real life? Forward. Definitely a forward. I like to goal (sic) :DD 3. I'd have to say the old Riga logo. Bears is a close second but I just love the old orange roaring lion logo. I will always associate that logo with Riga. It's just the perfect amount of graceful and ferocious. --- 1. I don't think we talk about goalie masks enough. What would you say has been the best goalie mask design you've seen? (Doesn't mean IRL, pictures or videos count.) For example, mine would have to be Kiprusoff's masks 2. News has it that leagues are experimenting with a new secondary tiebreaker to replace the shootout. Can you invent a secondary tiebreaker that you think would be fun to see? 3. If you could change the colour scheme for one VHL team, which team would it be and why AND what would you change it to?

SEATTLE - Sigard Petrenko was recently announced as a member of Team East Europe for this season’s World Cup. Playing alongside recently traded Bear (now an LA Star) Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems, they will be looking to win gold for their region. Sigard and Sirdsvaldis will surely be looking to use their experience as Bears teammates; if they are on the same line that is. Sigard is especially excited to have an opportunity to play with Sirdsvaldis as teammates for potentially the last time. “I do not agree with the actions of my country. However, it is an honour to represent the region I am from. I think I speak for every player in this tournament when I say it is an honour to play in the World Cup.” Sigard said in a press conference after the announcement. “Recently we traded Sirdvaldis. He’s a great young center but we needed to make room because of cap complications. An understandable trade and I wish him the best in L.A. He's an excellent center who is great on both ends and will be a force in the league for a long while. But I am looking forward to having one last chance to play with him and I believe this team has the players we need to win a tournament. We’re going for Gold and I am excited to see how this goes.”

Founders Cup Final - Halifax 21st vs. Las Vegas Aces (Games 1 and 2) A while back I discussed how the finals, despite ending in a sweep, were an epic set of close matches, with 3 games going into overtime. They came down to the very wire. Let's look at the first two matches. Las Vegas and Halifax took to the ice in the first game, both looking to start off this final on the right foot. It was a tight game with neither team refusing to give even an inch to the other team. The Aces were getting more shots on goal in the first period, leading 19-12. However, after almost 17 minutes of gameplay, the Aces allowed the 21st to have a man advantage. The 21st capitalized and Brodie Landry III scored to open the series on the power play. In the second period, nobody scored and both teams continued to battle it out. The Aces were outshooting the 21st but nothing was going in due to the stellar goaltending of Geoff Bezos. In the third though, the Aces got the goal they needed despite the low number of shots on net from both teams. (Halifax had 4, Vegas had 3) The goal came about 16 minutes in, courtesy of James Kagelberg. This game was going to overtime and the Aces found their OT hero in Fred Hampton, scoring to give Vegas a 1-0 series lead. Interestingly enough, this was the only game in the series that did not end in overtime. This game was quicker in having its first goal, with Brodie Landry III again opening the scoring on a 21st powerplay. However, just after the 18th minute mark of the period, Hayden Bromley scored for the Aces in order to tie it up. In the second period, things began to pick up for Las Vegas as Hugh G Johnson and Larry Abass Jr scored two quick goals just over 9 minutes in. Al Land later added to the Vegas lead with a goal at the 14 minute mark, giving the Aces a 4-1 lead heading into the last period of the game. All the Aces needed to do was hang on and they would get their second win in their Founders Cup Final campaign. And they were successful, only letting in a power play goal from the Mediocre One. That gave Vegas a 2-0 lead heading into the final two games. And now, considering it's after the fact, it's safe to say getting a quick series lead helped propel them forward into victory.

1. Well, I'd probably say maybe 5 miles, mostly because the buildings are far apart and my schedule sucked last year. 2. My projection is definitely a regression but I expect to at least score 20 goals and maybe 50 or so points. I do think my hits will increase though, considering I'm trying to improve Petrenko's defense. 3. I may choose to make a defenseman considering I've never made one. But also, this is my last year of high school so I might take a break from the VHL. 1. If you had to rebrand one VHL teams brand but keep the city the same (VHLE and VHLM included), which team would you choose and what would you rebrand it as? 2. If the VHL had to have one gimmick that set it apart from every other hockey league in the world, what would you like that gimmick to be? 3. European ice hockey rinks and North American rinks are different sizes. The VHL has teams in both continents. What do you think the situation for rinks are? Are all VHL games played on EU sized rinks, NA sized rinks, or is it like baseball where it's a mix from arena to arena?

SEATTLE - The formerly defending champions could not keep their crown as the Warsaw Predators bested them in six games in order to claim the title as best team in the league. A heartbreaking result for Bears fans and players, who all wanted to reach the top together. Sigard Petrenko was silent in the locker room. Reportedly, the only words he said to the team were “Next season, boys. We’ll get it back next season.” It’s not often you get a chance to play in a final and Seattle has made it twice in a row. While they were victorious in season 83, they were not here. In all honesty, there were a considerable number of new members so it wouldn’t be fair to call them the same team. However, that just made all of them more determined to get a cup together. “It really blows. I desperately wanted to win with this group. I mean, this S84 team was special. We had Dusty between the pipes absolutely killing it in his first season. He doesn’t believe it but he was a big reason we made it here. Torq has been a great leader on and off the ice. AJ is always phenomenal and is arguably the face of the franchise. Miggy (Miglaskems) is coming off a career season and is truly a world-class center. All the new guys and returning guys put in hard work. It didn’t pay off.” Sigard said. However, there was a bit of optimism. “This team is relatively new with some new acquisitions and core changes. Flex retired but Dusty has really picked it up and ran with it. We have learned our lessons and we only get better from here on out. We are over the cap and we may see some departures. Not even I am safe. But believe me when I say this Bears team is special and will be back for more.”

Back from a camping trip but congrats Preds, what a series and what a run for you guys! To my fellow Bears, it's been an excellent season and let's keep going! We've got some momentum heading into next season, as well as something to prove. Bears for life!

LETS DO THIS!

Sigard Petrenko - Protect SS

@DarkSpyro@ROOKIE745We dreamed of reaching this point on separate teams. Now we get to go for the cup together. Let's do this! @ajwllmsnWe're back, baby.

(Games 3 and 4) Founders Cup Final - Las Vegas Aces vs. Halifax 21st Here's a quick spoiler, the Las Vegas Aces swept the Halifax 21st. The reason I decided to mention this early was because even though it was a sweep, it was a close series. Don't believe me? Well, how about this, 3 of the 4 games played in this Founders Cup Final were decided in overtime. Wow. Let's look at two of these overtime thrillers today. To start off Game 3, Las Vegas got the first goal of the game with a power play marker from Robert Overmeyer. However, Halifax had a man advantage soon after and also scored on the power play to tie it up. Those exchanged power play goals were the only goals of the period, keeping the game tied 1-1 going into the first intermission. Despite being tied though, the Las Vegas Aces had 23 shots on goal compared to Halifax's 5 shots on goal. Geoff Bezos was doing everything possible to keep Halifax in this one and it seemed to pay off. The payoff would prove to come in the next period as Ethan Mann scored a goal for Halifax, giving them their first lead of the game. Knowing how tight this series had been, any lead was huge. Las Vegas still had the edge in shots, 12-6 but the lead that mattered was in favour of Halifax. Going into the third, Las Vegas was looking to tie it up while Halifax looked to shut it down and secure their first victory. Unfortunately for the latter, Fred Hampton tied it up for Las Vegas, getting the only goal of the third. This lead to overtime, where Jimmy MacElroy scored to bring Las Vegas within one win of the title. Interestingly, like the game before, special teams proved to be a major factor in the first period. Halifax took the first lead of the game on the powerplay with a goal from Ethan Mann. Soon after, almost two minutes later, Halifax had the opportunity to extend their lead on the man advantage. However, the tides turned and Las Vegas tied it up with a shorthanded goal from Fred Hampton. Later, on a Las Vegas power play, they got their first lead of the game with a marker from Larry Abass Jr. The action wasn't over yet as The Mediocre One scored in the final minute of the period on the power play to tie it up for Halifax. Despite all of the action, the game was tied 2-2 going into the first intermission. The second period began with a quick goal from Brodie Landry III. It was scored 31 seconds into the frame and gave Halifax a 3-2 lead. However, just over a minute later, Larry Abass Jr scored a second goal to tie it up yet again. With no other goals being scored in the period, the game was still tied 3-3. In the third, both teams refused to give in, neither team letting in a goal. That meant we were going into overtime. For both teams, this overtime proved to be the most important overtime in this series. And just over 6 minutes into overtime, Al Land scored. Sticks, gloves, and helmets were flying and raining on the ice. Las Vegas had won.

44. What are your thoughts on going 7 games and winning VS Chicago? Fun series, both sides played really well. It was nail-bitingly close but we pulled it off and we saw some of the best team hockey this team has played (and we've played a lot of great team hockey). The lessons we learned from this series will definitely help going forward. 45. Who were some of the best players that changed Chicago's game for them? Baby Bob was excellent for them and was hard to keep off the scoresheet. Bo Johansson was great offensively but also great defensively, blocking shots and keeping us on our toes. 46. Who were some of the best Bears players? Everybody. I mean, especially in the latter half of the series, everybody stepped up. Zabastovka was a surprisingly great playmaker, Torq is just an excellent all-around defensemen, Dusty has been awesome in between the pipes, AJ has found his scoring touch and it really carried us over Chicago, Ori is making excellent passes and racking up apples, Godlander is potting goals, Hogan is his usual winning self and racking up points, Sirdsvaldis is severely underrated and has been the fix-it guy for our line. Kovalchuk is racking up points but also a shot block genius, and Bushtit is a flexible winger who can fit whatever role he is given. 47. How has your player done in the playoffs so far? My player has done well, I'm happy that he is scoring (for once) but I won't be satisfied until Sigard lifts the cup. 48. Who do you think wins between Warsaw and Moscow? I mean, a little late considering Warsaw has a 3-1 lead but Warsaw. They have been firing on all cylinders against Moscow and have been taking convincing wins. 49. Who do you think wins between DC and Seattle? Seattle. What else am I to say? We the Bears,
