Fun, we'll make the VHL more fun.

@McWolf ? Although apparently, I'm not eligible for Western Europe's roster, I'll still piggyback on your GMing if you'll let me.

Ok

If you're halfway through S62, wouldn't the S62 draft have already passed?

This is already messing up @Tagger's crowdsourced mock draft lol

He didn't ask for it, but here's one for the (soon-to-be) VHLM playoff MVP.

1. Even before the sweep (where's my broom emoji), I would have said Ottawa. I don't think I would have put any money on it, but I would have bet on the series going longer than 4 games. 2. Kriketers, and it isn't even close. Lead VHLM goalies in every stat in the playoffs, and had 2 shutouts when every other goalie had none. That cup-winning game, we were outshot 25-15 or something like that, but he held down the fort and allowed us to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the game 4-3. 3. I honestly don't have the faintest idea who would be under the Western Europe flag, but I would have to imagine I could at least compete for a spot. 4. @diamond_ace and @BarzalGoat were both great. They're open and communicative, and they're both invested in their respective teams' performances. 5. We're a pretty tight knit crew, our locker room on the discord often goes off after each sim, and especially after the big finals win last night. 6. After being the lone star on a floundering team in Yukon, I expected Ottawa to be the exact opposite. Although we didn't quite get our feet under us in the regular season, we went on a 8-1 roll to finish off the postseason strong.

My banner submission: I know the colour sucks but I was spending way too long on aligning the logos properly to think about anything else.

I second that, only for Western Europe. I want to get a bit of a handle on this GMing thing, and my WJC experiment didn't go so well. I want to see if I actually did something wrong or if my team just let me down.

I liked when you had the current TPE totals for the current projected roster, is it tedious to do? If not, I think it would help identify positional need going forward (obviously Helsinki is the outlier because they literally don't have a defenseman).

#KriketersForMVP Also, not a bad time to pull a 2 point game out of my ass.

Oof, Pablo right?

VHLM finals are all Canadian too... Speaking of rigged, where are all the simmers from? Coincidence? I think not.

I'll copy yours just because you picked the Meute to beat you ?

So how does this affect my chances of falling out of the first round?

I might be missing something but I don't think he ever tried to say it was rigged. Moreso that Vegas deserved to win (debatable) and didn't.

I needed some help from some people here and there with where to find the stats and such of course, but I really owe my success there to my bosses who don't give me enough shit to do at work ? so I sit here most of the day, and just took a couple hours to do the write up and all spread throughout the day.

Hold on wut, the only one that someone helped me on was Victor with the builder article because I wasn't around when the guy was, all the others were entirely my own doing.

That was just a bit of self-horn-tooting. Still, another 200 TPA player would make a difference, would it not?

Actually 5 I believe, because I'm not on that list there for some reason, but picked up two apples in that last game. Also I believe I'm the highest TPE in the league now, having just passed Crimson, so I may have been at least a bit of a difference maker ?

That's more or less what I meant. I just think it would be best to compare how they stack up, like what happens to point totals, sv%, maybe point distribution, etc. between the two, and that would help make an educated decision on which one to use going forward.

Is there any way to load the current database into V3 and run them side by side for a year and see how drastic the differences are? I know this likely means a ton more work for simmers, but it would make the discussion much easier if we have an apples-to-apples comparison across an entire season as opposed to small tournaments that might see different results from the regular season anyways.
