Damn, Steve. This should be hung in the VHL Museum of Art. Nice PJ’s!!

It was a decent series. Chicago was tough, Vancouver was a beast and now we had Calgary who are always great rivals - often on the other end of the stick. We were called a non-playoff team all season by lots of members + VSN and once again had the joy in making em look silly. We found a way to make playoffs and made some incredible advances at the trade deadline in acquiring two members who have come together to be a lot of fun on the team in @dlamb and @rory. We did pretty damn good. Sucks when you lose but it happens. It was a hell of a series. Seattle should overall be very happy with this performance. Next year let’s strive for better. This is how close we were.. let’s find that little bit extra and make some noise BEARS!! CGY and @Ricer13 Im rooting for you. NA all day, everyday. We got to stick together! All good members, led by one of my favourite current, dominant players in Janser.. will be fun to see him fight it out with Lindbergh and a couple others (Torq, etc) for playoff MVP.

Made me look for GMing the Bears (being a day ahead now helps lol) but am at 2,497 days with Seattle.

Glad to still have you around. I hope all is members find a way to grow grey and old together on here. Why the hell not? Thank you for all you’ve done over the last many years. You’ve done an amazing job helping run and shape the VHL. Here’s to many more!

Seattle Oilers

What kind of milk?

Not bad.

Time to break out the old gymnastic trophies.

Future Seattle Bears legend???

However, where do you see this team at this season because I certainly don’t seem them in the playoffs.

Okay. Well then, love your name

LOVE the name! @omniscius

Damn Dusty, you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind, DAMN DUSTY

BOBANDY DUSTY DEGROOT NANO Good stuff. Good series by Chicago! Seattle struggled to score for parts of it but scored here when it mattered most.

Good stuff, @Enorama, on the career GMing the Dragons. Good luck to those who apply.

Also, haven’t had these or been able to find them since I was a very young kid.

Bana Blabs Down Under #59 S87 VHL Standings S87 Playoff Index Well, since the last time I wrote one of these a lot has changed. We're both finally in Australia and have been here since Monday (Canada) and Tuesday (Australia). We've had a lot of crazy adventures here and it's been a very exciting, interesting time. Saying good bye to my family, her to her family, and us to our animals was very difficult. I think it's going to be difficult for some time. I certainly miss my mom and brother quite a bit (sorry, sister! haha) and I miss my doberman, Zara, the most! I think I had a good cry one of these past mornings when my mom or brother sent a video of her in the morning of where she sleeps. Basically likes she's waiting for us to come back! ANYWAY, some exciting things about he trip: We've gone to a lot of cool places and have walked about 50-60km so far around the CBD, North Sydney etc. We're seen the aquarium, Sydney Tower, Zoo, walked the entire Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Wax Museum and other attractions like Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and all of that fun! I have tried a lot of amazing food and beverages. This trip is all about having fun, experiencing life and pushing myself to try new things and just be myself. Become myself. I have had sushi for the first time ever and it was AMAZING, lol... Baklava was really good! We went down to the market in Circular Quay yesterday and I tried these lamb kebab's with chilli that were incredible and went again this morning on our way to a Darling Harbour event and tried myself a churro with a hot dog in it, lol. Yesterday, for the first time ever, I tried a alligator burger and it was pretty good. Cross it off the list and that is that. Then two nights ago we were on a rooftop restraurant and had myself some wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli Thai as we shared a bottle of Prosecco! Seen a lot of cool animals. Kangaroo (zoo), tennis ball sized spiders (The Gardens by the Opera House), Platypus (Zoo), Sharks and all the Aquarium animals (most of them were in the ocean and you walked through tunnels), a bunch of lizards (everywhere lol), Cockatoos (mostly The Garden) and bats at night time that are EVERYWHERE and they're all the size of crows or big birds! We came during Mardis Gras and World Pride and it has been a very cool, inclusive experience! Most of the tall buildings, bridge and everything are lit up. It's been incredible vibes with music, markets, food and all of that good stuff! ONE Bana Australia Fact or Learning from the week: It takes a bit to get used to everyone driving on the other side. Drivers in Sydney are very respectful and aware of pedestrians and we LOVE how accommodating the country has been seemingly so far to people who may be blind or deaf etc. From the noises, colours, foot markers or brail, it's super amazing to see! Very happy to be in Sydney, Australia. Now to the VHL side of things, Seattle is trying to push their way through Chicago. I honestly am unsure it's going to happen. On paper I think most would say Seattle is the better team. On the ice? Not so easy! Chicago did finish slightly above Seattle in the standings and have absolutely wrecked us in the shot department this series. It goes down to the wire as the series is tied 2-2. Can't wait for Game 5 on Monday (hehehehe) Dil stepped down for London and this helped further push my vibe to want to retire and embrace The Australian experience I am on. I've been bored of this player somewhat and with this experience I've wanted to create a new player to enjoy while here. I told Dil I would remain loyal to him and would play out my career for as long as they wanted me to. However, things changed fast and Dil is now stepping away. This may mean that Kovalchuk is going to do the same thing. My player had their best season yet and it was a lot of fun with London. It's a shame I am bored with them but would like to start fresh with everything that is happening and with these new update scale/build stuff etc. That is all. BYE

Never interacted or had you as a GM, but thank you for those you had an impact on.

Me too Yep…

Wtf

Nice to see!
