  4. Done
  5. 1) Try to get things done at the beginning of the month, but usually have like one last minute gift. 2) The players have a limited career and should use their leverage for the best deal. I dont get why the Nylander deal took so long, was what was expected 6.5-7. 3) I;d give a gift to Pepper for all the wins he stole for us. I dont have any VHL player to give coal to but if Tom Wilson were a VHLer he'd definitely get it. 4) Public Transit so I can be like whoever it was on the Capitals that took the subway to the Cup Finals game. 5) Tequila by Dan and Shay. My wife and bridesmaids kept signing it at our wedding in October and they keep snap chatting each other singing it so its stuck on repeat in my head. 6) Mesh Highback Desk Chair
  6. 1) Plan on working on strength and the Defense 2) 200 Assists 3) I will go with Soccer with football as a close second. I'm going with soccer as I'm a Toronto FC season ticket holder and love going to games. 4) I've tried a bunch of food from different cultures so Id say Morrocan as it seems like a cuisine i'd like. 5) Dont play it until after remembrance day in Canada. 6) The Last Kingdom, which takes place in England during the Viking era. I love reading historical fiction and this series is based on my favourite series.
  7. 1) Riga Reign, Hope they do as a former member I wish them the best. 2) Gabriel Mcallister is having a dominant season , should win the socring title with his lead and has a great shot at the goals title. 3) Riga, again hope they do well. 4) Kind off, bought a TV a couple weeks ago and its now on sale even more. Best Buy said they will match any price adjustments until January. 5) Havent looked into the roster much but go Ubuyalot 6) Since Riga will win the Championship, It will be Podrick Cast who gets it done for them.
  8. Ubuyalot Games is one of the teams who will be competing in the upcoming Sponsor Shield Tournament and here is a quick look at the roster Forwards Ubuyalot Games roster which is quite thin up front in terms of depth at this time. The team has signed just 7 forwards to go along with 5 defenseman and 2 Goalies. The team will be looking to round out the roster soon. The teams top endorsement of $3 million slot went to Jasper Canmore who is having a great season and is second in the VHL in scoring. Ubuyalot will be hoping that high quality forwards will make up for the lack of depth up front currently. The biggest bargain in the Sponsors shield is leading scorer forward Gabriel McAllister of seattle who has graciously taken a zero dollar endorsement to lead Ubuyalot. McAllister currently has a 13 point lead in the scoring title over Canmore and is also leading the league in goals by 1. The third member of the top line is expected to be Edwin Preencarnacion. Edwin is currently 4th in the league in goals and 9th in scoring. Ubuyalot’s top line on paper is a dominant force. You have the league's top two scorers who will make it difficult for the opponents to shut down. Defense Ubuyalot’s top pairing on D is expected to be Mats Johnsson and Luc-Pierre Lespineau-Lebrunette although Jacob Smith is having a better season than Lespineau-Lebrunette and that recent form may elevate him to the top pairing. Whichever Dman is not on the top pairing will most likely be paired with the giant Lew Bronstein. Bronstein is a towering 6’8 and will provide an intimidating presence on the blue line. The final defenseman on the roster is rookie Paolo Nano. Nano is coming off an excellent performance with Team Europe in the World Junior Tourney and will be looking to take that form into the Sponsors Shield Tournament. Nano was traded from Riga to Helsinki earlier in the VHL season and that has lead to an increased role. Nano is now playing on the top pairing and that has allowed him to gain confidence to put up a first team all star performance in the WJC. Nano will look to build upon that success with Ubualot. As Nano will likely be the teams 5th defenseman, he will likely see a significant drop in Ice time from Helsinki. Goalies Norris Stopko from the Calgary Wranglers will be manning the pipes for Ubuyalot. He will be taking a 916 save percentage to go along with a 2.3 GAA into the tournament. Hes an experienced veteran playing in his seventh season. Ubuyalot will lean on that experience to provide a brick wall in the crease to mitigate any issues with the forward depth. He will be backed up by Brick Wahl who ranks 4th in the VHLM in save percentage. Outlook Ubuyalot looks to have an excellent top line that will be very difficult for opposing teams to handle. The lack of depth upfront currently on the team may be its achilles heel. The second forward line only has one VHL player in it and will likely struggle to score. The defense however is where the team has some depth with all 5 Defenseman playing in the VHL this season. It will be interesting to see if the elite talent on the top line will more than makeup for the lack of depth.

  13. Paolo Nano Defenseman Points Shot Blocks
  14. Lukas Novacek is a very physical Defender who hits everything that moves and eats pucks for breakfast. Novacek is in his second full season in the VHLM with the Oslo Storm and has hit a wall in his development. He has the build of a stay at home defender but with good passing skills. Novacek is great at moving the puck and that helped to play a large role in the championship season a year ago. Last season he scored a total of 16 goals and 56 assists on the vastly superior Oslo squad. He followed up that strong regular season by potting two goals and 7 assists on the way to a cup title. This year his point totals have dropped in nearly half as the team undergoes a rebuilding year. He has posted a meager 9 goals and 41 assists with all the goals coming on the man advantage. The strength of his game however is on the physical side and he's had an excellent season there. He has been a hitting machine this season improving his hit count by nearly over 100 by the team the season ends. Novacek is by far the leader in hits this season eclipsing the next best player 35. He is third in the league in shot blocks and has more or less posted the same total as a year ago. There are many people in the hockey world don't put any stock into plus minus and Novacek is a fine example as to why many now consider it a nearly useless tool. Last season on a championship calibre squad he posted a nice +23, while this year on the struggling Storm he has been on the ice for many more goals posting a -46. However this plus minus total is not entirely surprising as he is playing on the top pair with Paolo Nano and the team overall is at negative 92 goal differential. Being a physical player, Novacek at times has costed his team as he leads the team in PIMs. Some in the hockey world love guys with high PIMs but with fighting trending down across the hockey universe due to concussion concerns he is probably hurting his team by spending so much time in the sin bin. He hurts his team further when he’s in the box as he is the one the team relies on to kill penalties Oslo has the second highest PIM total and the Second worst PK in the league. This isn't entirely the fault of Novacek but he has been a major factor in the futility of the Storms special teams. Despite his strong physical presence Novacek has hardly improved this season. He had a great start to his VHLM career but his last update was over a month ago and looks destined to finish his career in the VHLM. He started with so much potential having had a job as an updater but that too appears to have fizzled out. Maybe one day ADV will return to push Novacek into the VHL but that seems highly unlikely at this point in time.
  15. I'll do Lukas Novacek
  16. Wranglers 5-3
