  1. Come join my team after your contract runs out! You'll feel so good
  2. Oh ya you like that don't you? You dirty girl
  3. I doubt that. Unless you're counting the 3 ice cubes in whatever kind of drink you've already had too much of
  4. S63>>>>> S1-62, S64-
  5. Do they even have ice in the US?
  6. You cut me deep
  7. Looks like were destined for 7th.
  8. Made this game my bitch
  9. YES! Make this happen blue man group! I'll be the first player to sign there if it does. How about the Edmonton Mammoth
  10. Just making sure you were paying attention
  11. @Beaviss will you be streaming this again?
  12. The expansion Moscow Menace will select their first roster after the end of the S64 playoffs. This means there will be some big decisions for GMs as to who to protect in the expansion draft. For the New York Americans, we can only speculate who will be left available to Moscow. With the GM player automatically protected, goalie Ismond Kingfisher will be safe. Some of the other 7 players could be defenders Joseph McWolf and Ryan Sullivan Jr. Up front Roctrion King, Dan Wilinsky, Ryan Zabby and Joel Ylonen should be easy decisions. With 6 easy selections complete, there is 1 current roster player and 4 prospects still to choose through. While Scott Shawinganen has over 300 tpe, he disappears for long stretches of time and after drafting 2 centers in the past draft, he will be passed on the depth chart sooner than later. Defenseman Eric Parker and winger Matthew Materazo would probably be the two most sought after youngsters, with Anton Edvin and Steven Hitz likely both needing another year of seasoning in the VHLM. Parker currently has more tpe and being a defender, holds value that way, with New York only carrying 2 defensemen so far. Materazo is a new member, but has been more aggressive and consistent gaining tpe during his career. For my money, I'd protect Materazo in hopes that Moscow selects the more experienced Shawinganen, who has put up very good numbers so far in his career.
  13. In sports, when profits in rise and so do salaries. When salaries rise, so does the cost of enjoying said sport. When the cost becomes to high, patrons look elsewhere to get their sports fix. It's happened in many major sports, as leagues with varying success have come and gone. The NHL last had major competition in the 1970s from the WHA. In 1979 as the WHA was in a downward spiral, the NHL brought in 4 of the clubs into it's own league. Those 4 clubs had different amounts of succes on and off the ice, with only 1 of the 4 in its original city. That being the mighty Edmonton Oilers. More recently, the NHL has had to deal with many lockouts and lost seasons, while fighting with its players over profit and salaries. This has helped give momentum to th VHL. Although it's been around for 64 seasons, the NHL hasn't seen it as a threat until now. Marketed as a global league, with teams dotting the planet, it has gained even more fans and attention with the NHL in yet another Gary Bettman led lockout. The VHL and its feeder league, the VHLM have had outposts in NHL markets and have held their own. As more players and fans flock to the league, it has been forced to expand for the 65th season in its history. Joining the three other European teams in the VHL will be the Moscow Menace. They look to capitalize on the floundering KHL for much of its talent. The Menace have tapped @Victor to be the clubs first general manager. He has had great success in the past and has the respect of all his colleagues around the VHL. The move puts 9 teams in the VHL and speculation is that it's only a matter of time until more are added to the fold. In some sad news, Quebec City has yet again lost its professional franchise. With limited championships and an unruly owner, the Meute are moving to another city incapable of winning anything. Vancouver. GM @Beaviss was said to have had much say in the move as he is from BC and hopes wins will be easier to come by in the future. The VHLM will be seeing its own expansion and relocation next season. The Oslo Storm will be moving from Europe to North America. They were the last outpost on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Storm will be making their new home in equally cold Minnesota. Ownership had reportedly spent so much on it's new GMs salary, that the name and uniforms will remain the exact same. @Eudaldkp will be remaing with the team after just recently stepping into managers chair. The hope is that fans are too excited to get out of the miserable weather to notice that this isn't the North Stars that have come home. The two expansion teams joining the league will both be based in WHA cities. The Philadelphia Reapers stole Quebec's former assistant @BladeMaiden to run the squad. No word yet if the frightening new mascot has had a chance to utilize its new sickle on the two other popular Philly mascots, Gritty and The Phanatic. The Houston Bulls (with a beard) will be the VHLM's 10th franchise. Houston makes its mark as the furthest south team in league history, with thoughts of drawing in some football fans and maybe even some Mexican illegals before the wall goes up. @Sonnet will be the first GM. He has already done good work bringing players to the VHLM and looks to be a good bet running his own club 606 words. Claiming for February 10 6+6
