Uhtred ended his rookie campaign in fine fashion as the Bears won the continental cup over the defending champion Moscow Menace. As a rookie, Uhtred had a limited role in the cup run scoring a goal and 6 assists on route to the championship. Uhtred has shown a willingness to play any role asked of him in order to win a championship and a trend has emerged where championships come in his first season with a team. Uhtred won the Founders cup in his first season in the VHLM where he was a role player as he learned how to be a professional hockey player. In this continental cup Uhtred was again a role player, while learning how o play in the VHL. If Uhtred makes it to a World Cup roster one day, as a first timer he will likely have to be a role player again. Uhtred’s team will hope the trend of a championship in season one continues. This trend was somewhat broken with the World Juniors as Uhtred was unable to win a gold in his first chance with team world but he did win gold being a member of team Europe for the first time this season. The continental cup now gives Uhtred a chance at the triple gold club as he won the Founders cup with the Saskatoon Wild in his first season in the VHLM. A world cup gold medal is now what separates Uhtred from being a member of this exclusive club.

The Continental cup final matchup was finalized when Moscow defeated Riga to setup a date with the Seattle Bears who defeated the Vancouver Wolves in 5 games. The series looks like it will be a great one as its the defending champs vs the bears who have no reached the final 3 times in the past 4 seasons. Both teams feature goaltenders who can win the game on their own. Bears’s Rayz Funk leads Raymond Bernard in save percentage by a miniscule .004 margin while the both earned 2 shutouts each on route to the final. That save percentage was even smaller during the regular season with Funk ahead of Bernard by just .001. The battle in net may play a large role in determining this year's winner. In the skater category both teams have a player tied for the playoff scoring title. Bears deadline acquisition Aleksander Rodriguez has been a huge addition to the bear squad as he is currently tied with Mat Tocco for the point lead. Rodriguez has also been scoring some clutch goals as he leads the playoffs in game winners with 3. A win by the bears should give Blake Campbell the David Knight Trophy as 3 wins in 4 seasons to go along with the key acquisition of Rodriguez should cement Blake’s status as the best GM this season. I predict the Bears will win the cup in 7 games.

Happy Birthday. Will celebrate with a Mexican style beer from my local brewery to cerebrate cinco de mayo as well

No I haven't watched in a couple seasons but have read almost all of the books except the latest one. I think that will be the next show I catchup on.

Uhtred just completed his rookie season and had a very successful rookie campaign with the Seattle Bears. Uhtred scored 22 goals and had 26 assists this season. These point totals surpassed the goals Uhtred had set in the pre season. At the beginning of the season Uhtred wanted to get 10 goals and 40 points and he achieved both targets and doubled his goal scoring target. He also shot the puck 240 times for just a hair under 3 shots per game which surpasses his 2 shots per game target. Uhtred will now look to build upon that regular season success as the Bears enter the playoffs. Uhtred has worked hard trying to increase his strength during the last half of the season in order to try to prepare himself for the physical grind that is the VHL playoffs. The last week of the season also saw Uhtred score his first career hat trick and that may give him a great confidence boost on the eve of the playoffs. Uhtred won a gold medal with Europe this season and if the bears can win the cup it will be the ultimate rookie campaign for Uhtred. The regular season may be over but there is still a ton of work ahead for Uhtred.

I have been in the league for a few years now and I can't exactly remember how I joined the VHL. I think I saw a tweet about the VHL on an EA Sports NHL game thread. I've always loved the be a pro aspect of the game but trying to play a whole career was very time consuming and I'd get bored of my player and the career mode in nhl was lacking compared to other sports games. This lead me to try the VHL out and I don't know what to expect. I wasn't very active in the beginning as I wasn't totally into it but I am glad I stuck with it. As a result of the VHL I have tried some other sin leagues but I feel the VHL is my most enjoyable league. Here are some of the reasons I love the VHL and can be selling points in the recruitment process. Some of them can apply specifically to certain target audiences. Be a pro sim I think that this can be a recruitment tool to nhl games. I'm 99% sure thats what brought me into the VHL. In the VHL you really want to see how my player performs and want to win championships, what's the point in playing a sports sim or game of you don't want to win. Although some players may just want to put up numbers and disregard winning. Either way the VHL can try and attract the be a pro type player to create a player and see how he grows. You don't have to be write every week to have a decent career. You can still have a fun career without doing a point task every week if you hate writing or suck at graphics. With my first player I wasn't as active as my current player but he was still able to be a decent player. Playing on an expansion team also helped as that gave him more ice time but I'd be happy as a role player. My advice to new players is that make sure you claim welfare and participate in the then we weeks. That's usually when I write an article as 500 words can be tough but the extra reward is worth it in my eyes The Portal I think of the strengths of the league is how great the portal is. I am in the PBE and posting the TPE on a forum thread can be confusing for beginners. It's much easier to make a mistake when you have to type everything manually into the thread and then wait for the weekly updates to happen. I love how in the VHL your player can be updated as soon as your TPE is approved. The portal also makes it much easier to track your players performance over the course of the season. In the PBE it just seems like it takes longer to find things. I am still new there so maybe I just don't know what I am doing yet. Discord Although I'm not that active on discord there is a great community on there. It's also a great way to learn about the league. The best part of the VHL is how every team has a discord channel and that really makes it feel like you're part of a tesm. This is what makes the VHL better than nhl be a pro, there is a great social aspect to having a career.

Uhtred saved his best game for the gold medal game scoring a goal to go along with three Assists in Europe's gold medal game. It was by far the best game for Uhtred as he only had a total of 9 points in the round robin. Team Europe totally dominated Asia winning the game 7-3 and outshooting Asia 62-42. The Medal winning goal was scored by Bob Helminen 5:54 into the second period. The eventual game winning goal came in somewhat controversial fashion as it went to video review. Upon further review it was determined that the puck clearly crossed the line and that made it 4-2 for the europeans. Asia scored to make it a one goal game early in the third period giving team Asia hopes of a comeback. However goals by Jim Bob and Uhtred just 26 seconds apart shut down any attempts at a comeback by Asia. With 9:03 left Derek Eriksson put the final nail in the coffin on the powerplay to make it 7-3. With such a big lead European fans were able to start the party early and will be party late into the night This was Uhtred's second world junior and it was his last shot at a title. With the win Uhtred now has a shot at the triple gold club having won the founders cup with Saskatchewan in his VHLM draft year. The bears are currently 3 points out of first with a game in hand which makes the Bears a strong contender for the continental cup this season.

Uhtred scored his 10th goal last week and in doing so has achieved one of his personal goals for the season. During Bears training camp we had a chance to speak with Uhtred about his expectations he placed on himself for his rookie season. The statistical targets he wanted to achieve are to score 10 goals and record 40 points and take at least 2 shots per game. Uhtred’s 10th goal came late in the 3rd period on the powerplay vs Prague. His goal sent the Bears into overtime where ACL Tear secured the win for the Bears. Uhtred has already hit his goal scoring target but he is slightly off the pace to score 40 points right now. His 22 points in 42 games so far this season puts him on pace to record 38 points on the season, just slightly under target. The good news for Uhtred is that with the season just past the halfway mark there is still plenty of time to increase his production to achieve his preseason goal. Uhtred is well on pace to achieve his 2 shots per game target with 135 shots which works out to be 3.21 shots per game. He has pretty much achieved this target already as he will only need 9 more shots this season to guarantee at least 2 shots per game.

The Seattle Bears have continued their rise in the standing to move into first in the league. The bears are currently on a 3 game winning steak which propelled the team into first overall. The bears have turned Seattle into a fortress with a 13-3-3 record on home ice. The past week of games has seen Ambrose Stark take the league lead in scoring moving up one spot. He has a 2 point lead on Hunter Hearse Hemsley and leads the league in goals by 4 over Julius Freeman. The bears offensive strategy would seem to be to shoot the puck as often as possible as they lead the VHL in shots with 1272 shots, 55 more than defending champs the Moscow Menace. The bears Scott Greene and Guy LeGrande lead the league in shots while Ambrose Stark is a third bear in the top 10 shooters in the VHL ranking 9th. The rookie bears also continue to have strong seasons. Ola Vikingstad is tied for first in rookie scoring with 25 points and teammate Uhtred sits in 6th with 21 points. The bears are getting a strong performance in goal with Ray Funk who is now second in wins. Funk also seems to have a mean streak in him as he leads all goaltenders in PIMs with 8.

I love it, looks great and will use it.

The Seattle Bears have been playing a lot better lately after a slow start to the season. The Bears winning streak was halted at 6 games and has seen the team rise in the standings after coming out of the gate slowly. The power of the bears attack is in the middle with star players Ambrose Stark and Scott Greene. The pair sit second in league scoring with 27 points a piece which is just 1 point shy of the lead. Greene is the leading goal scorer right now with 16 goals in 22 games so far this season. Fellow Bear Hulk Hogan is just a point shy of his teammates giving the bears 3 of the top 10 scorers to start the season. The Bears have a great group of veteran and youth players this season. This is evident in the fact that the leading rookie scorer is Ola Vikingstad who was drafted 5th overall. Vikingstad like the Bears as a team has caught fire lately posting up a majority of his points line the last 10 games. Uhtred is a 9th overall pick and is another Bear rookie among the leading rookie scorers. He has put up 15 points in the 22 games played this season and ranks 3rd among rookies while being three points off his leading teammate.

9. Who do you think will win this seasons continental cup? The Seattle Bears. What player doesnt think they will win the cup 12. Where do you think the Bears will place this season? finish 3rd in the regular season and then cup champs 33. If you could pick a dragon, what would you name it and would you use it to takeover the VHL? I would name him Puff. He would live in Bebbanburg and keep my county safe from attack. Maybe use him to take over England upon retirement from the VHL 20. Ambrose Stark or Scott Greene this season do you think? Ambrose Stark as i chose him in fantasy. 25. A brand has approached you and wants you to show off their shit? Who and what is it? How much or what are they paying you? Calvin Klein as I wear some of their shit already so may as well get paid. Lets go with 37. What team do you feel you have a rivalry with? Explain the rivalry. Do you have others?? As I am with Seattle I'll go with Vancouver, they are a logical geographical rival.

Vancouver 3-1
