McWolf

I've done the big two-way defenseman with Joseph McWolf. I'm currently doing an experimental high discipline all-around build with SS Hornet. That still leaves a lot to cover if I want to re-invent myself with my next gen player - or if I want to repeat previous success. Here are three ideas for player names and build I could do in the future. Abigail McWolf Defenseman, United Kingdom Comparable: Jospeh McWolf Joseph McWolf was one of the best defensemen in the VHL for about 6 or 7 seasons. He pretty much placed top 10 in points by defensemen, hits and shots blocked. Not that I don't enjoy SS Hornet's career so far, but it's been a pretty different experience. With McWolf, I had something to cheer for day in day out. I'm not sure he had double-digits games where he didn't get a single point, hit or shot blocked, so there was pretty always something in the boxscores to make me happy when I checked them. Hornet has been more hit or missed. Forwards don't get many shots blocked, and a high-discipline build means he barely ever hits. If he doesn't appear on the scoresheet 3 or 4 games in a row, that's 2 straight sims with nothing to celebrate from a personal point of view. My next player could be a comeback to my own VHL roots, with none other than Joseph McWolf's daughter, Abigail. I doubt AMW would enjoy the same success he did now that we are back in a more high-scoring era with the expansion, but said expansion would give her the opportunity to play in her home in London, something Joseph never could do. I'd also like to point that I waited a full generation before suggesting bringing up the Jr. to one of my former players, unlike some around who think it's ok for their players to have kids at 9 years old, given how they both join the league only 9 years apart. Firearmet Blæksprutte Winger, Denmark Comparable: Randoms After going the undisciplined way with McWolf, which he strangely got praised for in the form of two Labatte Trophies despite spending over 2 full games worth of time in the penalty box, I decided to go with a very disciplined build with SS Hornet. I wanted to see if I could create a player that would help his team more by not gifting as many powerplay opportunities to the opponents, but it came with a price: lack of checking doesn't help the team in the neutral and defensive zone as much. Firearmet Blæksprutte would be sort of the best of both worlds: A power-hitting winger. A very popular build in the last couple of seasons, the kind of guys you see drafted early in VHFL in every group, not that this part really matters, but yeah, that could be pretty fun to get in on the fun there. VECTOR Center, Hong Kong Comparable: ??? Hey, I've never gone the meme way. SS Hornet is a fun experiment, but his build is still pretty viable. I don't know if it helps the team more than a power-forward type of build would, but it's not a meme build in anyway, it was well-thought out and he's been performing well in his first two seasons. Now, with a dumb name à la VECTOR, I could do something dumb. Do what everyone's been saying, but no one had the guts to actually do, and go all-in with Leadership and Experience. I could give him a solid base of faceoffs, strength to make him a decent center and just go apeshit with the rest of it. Who knows, we might discover some interesting stuff with him.

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 16. Blockbuster trade edition. (1) We sent Guy Lesieur back to D.C., do you think he will help them turn their season around? (2) Are you going to stay in touch with Guy or is he now an enemy to you? (3) The return in the trade was a conditional 1st round pick. It'll be this offseason if D.C. makes the playoffs, next offseason if they don't. So.. are you a Dragons fan now? (4) Who stepped up for us now that our only veteran - and clearly our best player - is gone? (5) Pretend we are getting an extra 1st round pick this season through this trade; what positions do you think your lovely GM picks with both 1st rounders? (6) Who'll be our first player to get over 800 TPE now that we lost our only one? @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

I was not going to talk shit about the Victator ?

sell it to a VHL member and change the name on the sig, it's fire

SEIZURE

you asked for it so we got it done

@Beketov

@Motzaburger ilu

@KC15 have a nice trip back to D.C., bud. I'll be rooting for the Dragons

The 1st pick is lottery protected. If D.C. misses the playoffs, it defers to S75 D.C. 1st. @Enorama confirm?

DAVOS DAVOS DAVOS

ask them, not us. I traded a player away last season because he didn't want to be on the 3rd line

STHS wouldn't allow it. What a shame

The Chicago Phoenix currently holds a 4-20-0 record, good for only 8 points in 24 games. Their 2.00 goals for per game ranks them last in the league by a distance. Their bright spot this season so far is rookie goaltender Jean-Pierre Camus, who has generally been having trouble keeping the puck out of the net, but he did show glimpses of the elite potential he has been tabbed with. The Warsaw Predators are second to last in the standings, thanks to a 9-15-1 record. This probably comes as a disappointement for the Polish franchise, after they nabbed the two most sought-after free agents of the last of season: borderline Hall of Famer Hunter Hearst Helmsley and starting goaltender Nicolas Fomba. The London United comes 3rd to last, one point over Warsaw, with a 10-16-0 record. Their offense has been firing, led by expansion draft selection Guy Lesieur, but they were the first team to allow 100 goals this season, as their multiple goaltenders can't seem to get into their stride. The Los Angeles Stars have been the better expansion team all season, even surpassing a pre-existing D.C. Dragons team in the standings, with an 11-12-3 record. Veterans Sigard Gunnar and Tyler Barabash Jr are both sitting in the top 2 spots in the scoring race, supported by fellow veteran Markus Nygren's 33 points. It does bring the question however: was getting veterans the right expansion draft strategy?

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 9. (1) 26 games in, we are 6 points behind an even record, and 6 points behind the Malmo Nighthawks. Can we pass them and finish 3rd out of 4 in our division? (2) How's the ambiance in the arena on game nights? Are fans pleased with our performances? Any sighting of hooligans? (3) Hypothetical situation: Our top player Guy Lesieur is blindsided, a real cheap shot. Who steps up and defends him? (4) What food would you not recommend from everything that's available at our home stadium? (5) What would you have done with your life if you didn't become a professional hockey player? (6) Rank melons from best to worst: cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon. @KC15 @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

Weird that a former Daisuke Kanou Trophy-winner couldn't even be a regular in the relatively mediocre NHL. ?
