Huuuuge third star @Cusemode

Is that another 1st overall first gen dman signing a lifetime contract in Riga? Better be ready to switch to forward halfway through your fifth season.

Gotta get the people to tune in to part 2 somehow. I'm not that interesting of a person, so I use cheap gimmicks.

So I may have just made the dumbest decision regarding my VHL career since joining this league around fifteen months ago. Do I regret it right now? Well no, that would be weird, because I only did it about two minutes ago. Will I regret it in the off-season? Now that's distinctly possible. We'll see. Generally, as you get on in age, as Kastelic has, you start to feel the effects of aging in the form of attribute regression. Thankfully, I had a monster enough amount of TPE to fight it for my 6th and 7th seasons with still a couple hundred to spare for my last year. However, that last year is going to hit me haaaard. That's why most people buy what are called the "regression fighters" on the player store with their contract money from the latter half (or sometimes even the entirety) of their careers. With 20 mil in the bank today and another 5.5 mil due to come from my contract next season, I was well equipped to buy both the Jagr and the Still Kickin', making my fight against regression basically a cakewalk. But here's the thing, I'm not going to buy either of them. No, instead I'm going to spend my money on uncapped TPE packages to attach to VHL.com articles like these across each of my last two seasons at the cost of 10 mil per season, yielding me 20 bonus uncapped TPE each year. If you do the math on how much effective TPE that the regression fighters would save me, it's much more cost efficient to buy those and save my attributes, but honestly, I don't really care about that right now. What's my reasoning? Well I'm already at over 150 words (gonna end over 300, so really I should have spread this out across two weeks) and I've committed to doing 5 (and likely 10) of these, so I'd might as well save that explanation for next week.

Oh and @PotatoKing if you ever come back, here's your first VHL goal and point. @frescoelmo Drumm did some stuff

Thanks @Snussu

lol?

And they're both children, so nobody is surprised

Who's Lucaino?

Profit is inherently not gross. You're talking gross revenue. Most of the expenses in making the shirts are paying the plebs at the merch company printing the damn things anyway, as I'm sure they pay pennies for materials and labour.

hMMMM I would have thought big smartie robbie would have known what profit actually means

@Victor I switched up Moscow's based on @gorlab's request. You cool with gold/grey?

gib DCD It's already big enough and I'd almost certainly buy both a shirt and a hat.

#112B2B to be exact.

I didn't see anywhere where these were collected nicely. Most of these were made by someone unknown back in the day, then I went through and made some for VAN, MOS, MAL, TOR, PRG, and DCD (and a new one for NYA). Obviously you can see the style is a little different, but it was the closest I could really get without the original PSDs. I remade them all myself now. Enjoy. Defunct:

@MacH first VHL point and goal!

Getting em out of the way early this week. 1. Does the NHL exist in VHL canon? How do you think the two leagues would interact? 2. Two VHLM teams are off to a roaring start at 7-1, which one of Saskatoon or Mexico City will maintain the momentum the longest? 3. Would you rather be a HoF player with 0 cups, or a depth player with 2 cups? 4. How much sleep should you be getting the night before a game? Are you a pre-game nap kind of guy? 5. Which of our additions in the off-season will have the most impact? (Lesieur, Graves, Washington, Jerwa, Kidd, Hooper, and Buster are all rookies or FA) 6. Who's going to finish dead last in the EU this season? Hint: there's only one team with a lower team overall than us.

@DirtyDerek This week we travel South to Italy. Can't understand a lick of the lyrics but it's a bop.

Aaltonen already signed a lifetime contract in D.C. btw, he's in it for the long haul.

F - Hunter Hearst Helmsley F - Rauno Palo F - George Washington D - Piotr Jerwa D - Lance Flowers G - Pekka Pouta

I'm willing to bet this is still like 1/20 of how it was in the olden days. You joined during the dead period, so as activity ramps up, everything ramps up with it. I don't get the vibe you do at all, personally, I think the environment is as good as it's ever been, at least since penny got booted off the Discord.

Already flipped him to DC in the portal. He should be off your finances now. Also, accept that part in case it wasn't obvious.

Sorry for the lateness this week folks 1. One team in each division is guaranteed playoffs. Ours is a pretty weak one. Out of D.C., Toronto, and New York, who makes playoffs? Does more than one of us? 2. Prague is off to a quick start, similar to Malmo in their second season. Where will they finish in the standings? 3. Would you rather spread scoring out across a top six F core or load up a single line? 4. Right now, backups are required to play 8 games per year. With more human backups coming into the league, should this number be raised at all? 5. How do you approach contract negotiations? 6. How would you approach draft interviews if you were a GM?

Pretty hard to tank for a rebuild when you don't have your 1st

@Kekzkrieg massive game for Valentino
