Must of started writing before the sim and posted afterwards or something At the time of doing such, it was how it had been written. Either way, props to your brother. I've enjoyed shining light on things other than G,A, PTS all the time! Hopefully it brings about some form of build diversity.

Big thank you to @InstantRockstar #3 Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Tomorrow is Friday which typically means good vibes for everyone. The VHL has been a little slow as of late. Is it because it's a meta league? I'm less involved in the daily activities? It's slow? Who knows. It's probably just me. Despite it being slow for me, things are still moving along in the regular season and there's tons to talk about and a lot of spotlight left to be shined down upon all the good players and members in the league. We're now basically on the halfway point of the season and I think we got a good picture of what's going on with some momentum in either direction. Teams range 33-35 games played (average is around 34, says VHL science member) and we're getting closer and closer. Time really does fly here.. with that being said.. let's go around the leagues! VHL Since starting the regular season 0-4-2 and even having a little bit of a struggling stretch after that, the Seattle Bears have gone 16-7-5. It seems as of late the team has finally got some things figured out with a 7-1-2 record in their last 10. Not wanting to brag but that's better than the all hated meta 7-2-1 (but not LA 10-0-0). We wrote about it some time ago and it is the normal, but Toronto's fall from grace/first place is all but normal and happening again. They're tied for 4/5 in the North American conference. After starting the season 9-3-0, the team has since gone 9-10-3 and 4-5-1 in 10 games played... something, something.. Toronto can't play meaningful hockey (NHL). I strongly believe the NA playoff picture has been completed, but you never know. DCD, CHI = NOPE! NYA, 2/10 chance. Flip on over to the EU and @Acydburn and Prague are easily the hottest team right now - riding a 7 game win streak and an overall record of 22-9-3. Unlike NA, two teams out of the playoff picture still have a fighting chance as they're within 3 and 4 points respectively. London keeps doing things and while not an amazing last 10, 5-2-3 is still pretty damn good and 13/20 points. GO QUEEN LIZ GO! VHLE Cologne and Rome are now running the league and have good leads on anyone who are not them. At the end of the day, Rome is still the scary one for me. Southern conference is easily the most competitive and Oslo be sleeping at the bottom. Seems like the sun has come out and the Storm warning has been lifted. The Loch Ness Monster @LuluSalesAway leads the VHLE with 96 shots blocked. Pistol Pete @PistolP is currently in 2nd with 85 SB. AN APPLE A DAY... @ColeMrtz Zeljko Ranogajec leads the VHLE with 47 assists! Second place is @KaleebtheMighty Perry Laperriere with 39. The Board Game Clue On Skates @MubbleFubbles leads the league was an absolute golden stat of 60.61% on the face off dot with over 1,300 faceoffs taken! In second sits @Alesime Alessio Semeoni with 58.57% and 5 shy of 1,400. VHLM Philly continues to lead and likely will for the remainder of the season in their conference. Flip to the other side and Saskatoon is making things interesting for Houston. Mississauga has rented a bunch of dumpsters from waste management to try and handle all the garbage from this season. OUCH! Shaun Young @shaun1979 has stopped the most rubber so far this season with 1,100 saves! Augustus Kennedy @InstantRockstar is the starting goalile with the lowest GAA of 2.78 James Marino @Adrest245 loves watching goals happen so much they don't care what side it's on! They're a -33 on the season, leading the league as the next person is 12 behind them at -21. UNTIL NEXT TIME VHL!

Kinda this without the work day hours. I work by the day.. but anywhere really. I prefer a 30-90 minute podcast over the 5-10 min ones! 60-80 is pretty sweet!

Not too shabby

Hi

Ya that’s why my d partner has 47 it ok train

That half time show was honestly the coolest thing. DRE, MJB, Eminem, Kendrick and Snoop... how does a line up get anymore legendary than that? Honestly the coolest... and then to have them transition from Snoop and the Doc on top to fiddy hanging upside down was hilarious and even more nostalgia. I dig some of MJB's tunes but obviously not like a fan or listen to her super often, but the rest I do a ton. Woo HOO! NOW LET'S BLAB. Seattle is starting to come along nicely after a hard start to the season. NA is flying pretty fast, but where ever we end up, we just want to make playoffs. Won't matter as Vancouver gonna win 14 cups straight and the league will fold only for ST4RFACE to save us in his own league. Cologne is doing good. I enjoy this because I'm a fan and supporter of @BarzalGoat. I'm not a fan at all of my play though and am rather unhappy with my stats this season in the E. More reason for me to not like or support it Excited to write the around the league article this week. I have struggled for content after all these years to write... surprise.. so to have something like this and that to at least help.. always a bonus..

Another week and similar to last, another struggle. The VHL season has been underway now for what feels like coming onto it's third week? I'm probably wrong but then again, maybe I'm right. The league has seen consistent simming from all the simmers (I think), though, I do remember the E having a tough time getting off the ground. I will have to do some science research to see if that has changed or not. For the other leagues, they're quickly chugging along and like the 34 or 35 seasons in the Bears GM role, it's flying by. Super bowl today and the half time show is almost upon us. With that being said, let us hop into our VHL hot air balloon and do a quick travel around the leagues. VHL Meta leads the way. Most goals. Most shots. Most wins. 22-3-1. Are you surprised? 9 players with a point per game. Leading in most offensive categories by a sizeable margin. Wicked. Cool to see. Is this a sign of good GMing or wicked exploiting? I know which one I support. Either way, they're soaring.. or running I guess. Do what wolves do. It would be the same thing as what @Beketov and @Fire Fletcher had wrote about in this article. I don't have the time to help cheat or to run all the answers in the Discord. I also don't want to cheat. Players can help one another find the answers and engage in conversation. That would be awesome if that's what trivia accomplishes (discussion and activity), but Seattle won't have a thread, won't be keeping secrets and won't be cheating. Same thing applies with a majority meta team or anything. Just don't do it. Sorry, Nike. Phoenix are bad, bad, bad. 2-24-0. Dragons are bad (MID) but not quite as bad at 8-18-0. LA, CGY, TOR and SEA make up 2-5. Toronto started off 8-0 and 9-2 only to have gone 5-8-2 since. Outside of their recent struggles, a bunch of their players are still hot, hot, hot. Nylen = 2 PPG. @DreMin155 others are also a PPG. Can Toronto swing it around? EU = Surprised London is on top. Am I missing something here? Let's take a look.. Not the best anything with minimal depth that is developing (not dissing) and yet they're in first place. Some players are meta, including @McWolf, but nothing like VAN. Prague turned things around, Moscow slowly starting their climb and STHS/Simon holding off on causing @hedgehog337 immense stress and frustration. VHLE I don't 100% know how playoffs work, but if it's conferences, stockholm and cologne have it locked up. Flip over and you have a 3 way race between Rome, Bratislava and Instabul. I mean, really, even Geneva is right there. 2/8 teams are bad, 1/8 is okay and the rest are competitive. Cool to see I suppose. Still not the biggest fan of the E though! I'm thinking Anime Protagonist @Jericho is the top goalie right now with a 14-1-1 record and stats of .935% and 2.51 GAA. right behind him in 2nd? Boris Tsezar @comrade cat with 16-6-2, .920 and 2.75GAA. I don't want this to just be a best of the best for points and blah blah. Let's shine the light on diversity. OTHER BUILDS. Bradley Buzzer @WereBuzzing is leading the league with hits with 118, followed by Barry Bonds Jr (with or without the roids though??) @Jim Kovtrash 104 hits and Cameron Elsby @Spence King with 103. Next closest after them? 91. VHLM Philadelphia and Houston are rolling the league with Saskatoon and Miami hot on their tails (hot enough, anyway). In the middle you got Ottawa, Mexico and Las Vegas and after that, you might as well hit the snooze button and put your head back on the pillow because those teams be DREAMIN. Are we bound for a Reapers V Houston showdown? Is this possible? What are your predictions? Deron Nesbitt leads the league with 87 penalty minutes and while he's got the bruises, they're only a reminder to the league that they're a mean bad ass. However, looking deeper, only one fight - so maybe they just don't like to play with any form of discipline. Not a massive amount of hits but with 40PA and SC, they're out there for one thing. YOU GET EM, DOG. Landon Wolanin leads the league currently with a 13 game point streak... @jacobcarson877 That's DAMN GOOD! Babushka @BrutalBoost right behind them at 10 games as a dman - impressive. Half time show was bad ass. That's all from me. Enjoy the Super Bowl, the night and Good luck @Monday tomorrow. '

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! It's finally here. Eventually the hype will be over. Not a huge football fan at all really so I don't care one way or another who wins. I'm going to go ahead and say the Rams win tonight though. I am VERY excited for the half time show though. Eminem, Dre, Snoop, MJB and Kendrick??? This has to easily be a top 3 half time show ever, no? This is incredible and I'm super pumped for it... with that being said, let's blab and get this shit over with. Seattle is starting to turn it around. It's taking a little longer than expected but I was never too worried. We've hopped into a playoff spot and literally every player is playing good and doing their parts. Not a negative piece in the LR. Everyone has stayed focus, happy and excited for the season! Way to go BEARS! @dasboot Captain Vinny got a hat trick in this last sim which is pretty funny considering he is the king of all goons. He's becoming the player I so badly hoped he'd turn into when we felt like we stole him in there draft with a weird/unique but developing build. He's put in the time and it's finally coming into form. 24 P in 26 games and 146 hits on the season to average 6.08 hits a game (highest average of his career so far). Should he not decrease this, we're looking at 438 hits on the season. @Gustav Taro seems to be really loving his time in NA/Seattle. 49 points in 26 games, he leads the way for the Bears! @Beaviss proves being a player that skates with two left feet and his skates tied together is a NO GO??!?! STAY TUNED! @FrostBeard showing us the passing build can work with a little touch of SC in there. Turning into a strong player and a developing legend such as BACKSTROM of the NHL! @Hogan working his way to HoF again. THE END

“how do we feel about teams keeping "trivia banks" with the questions and right answers? There's almost no way you can tell me this isn't happening, and I don't know how you really enforce it at this point, but with point 1 above, just seems really over the top and against the spirit of the rules.” Never thought about cheating until now. Trivia meta???

Good games by all our lines! Sweet.

I've been fascinated by it since it really started getting media coverage this go around... Read on it most nights. You can never be too sure.. one side says one thing.. another says another.. Can't really say until something happens but I do have that weird feeling that something is coming! China/Russia and some others (Iran and company) Vs NATO. Who knows! Hopefully not.

Good day and GG CGY

and somehow the one holding the flashlight is @Beketov with his kid Thanks Elon Musk

Another week, another struggle. They really do mean what they say when they say the struggle is real. I can feel it in my old VHL joints. What should I write about this week that I haven't already written about in the last 400 weeks. Is anyone going to read this anyway? Let's get it over and done with for 6 TPE, 2 TPE or whatever it's going to be. I figured if I'm going to struggle a bit, might as well take interest in the league and some of those who are in it. Maybe this way it engages myself, others and the league and takes away from the negativity of the Discord swat team, hehe. Anyway, let's go around the league and see what we can find so I can enjoy the rest of my day off. VHL Toronto was on top of the league for sometime. Last I checked on them I believe they were 6-0-0. Looking now, they're 9-2-0, which means they're gonna reverse climb and do what they do best and that's start extremely hot and within two weeks post a trade block for all their goodies. Toronto has played a good season up until now with a very strong goal differential. @Peace @MattyFired @DreMin15 lead the way, all having successful starts to their year. I know the joke is that they always start good and then suck really bad (it's not a joke if it's true, or is it?), but I think this season will be different. While they had some short comings with retirements and all of that, still a decent club in a shifting league. Prague and Seattle are on the outside looking in - each team with a rough start. I think when I spoke to @Acydburn the Prague team was sitting at a record of 2-4-0 and Seattle was bombing their way through the starting 10 games with a 0-4-2 record. Since we spoke, Prague has gone 2-1-1 and the Seattle team has gone 3-0-1. These results are much better and something I'd expect from both teams who have iced good enough rosters. Both teams are extremely similar with 33/32 GF and each having 41 GF. Stronger goaltending and discipline will help both teams win. I think in time each team will find their way. Jerome Reinhart @MexicanCow123, a meta player, is the first player to hit 100 shots on goal this season. He's also sitting pretty high for goals and points. Does this surprise you? No. Does this excite you for the possibility of maybe player templates or builds such as playmaker, grinder, two-way forward etc? Yes. League preaches "parity" but had always focused on the teams when the biggest issue was the players. 400 players in the league, 300 are the same or very close to the same (numbers are an example). VHLE Rome and Stockholm are battling for first place, with Bratislava closely behind them. I think these 3 teams are going to be the ones battling it out all season for the top spot with a few dark horses in the mix depending on what Mr. Simon T wants to have happen. What's crazy is that in the top 5 for league scoring, none of these teams have a player representing. However, 6-9 - Rome and 10, 12, 13 = Stockholm. Geneva's Perry Laperriere @KaleebtheMighty is leading the way for scoring right now with 2 points per game, hitting 5 goals, 15 assists for 20 points through his first 10 games played. Good member, good player, but do I think they can hold on to the top spot for scoring? Who knows. I believe in the player but there's some tough competition out there. While I don't want to take away from what they've done, but I think the jets are going to be on them. VHLM The Philadelphia Reapers are being menaces to the league in the S82 VHLM season. It always seems like the VHLM lacks parity and he 10/10 teams, 5/10 teams and 0/10 trams. We seen that a little bit with Ottawa Vs DC Dragons Halifax and then you see it this season with Philadelphia and the Mississauga Hounds. Will this issue ever be fixed? Probably - if the leagues puts time into it. Not very fun or successful for a team to go 1-11-0. The Reapers are averaging just under 7 goals per game and are being led by Sebastien dokis @Sebastien with 29 points in 11 games played. I am not a fan of how playoffs work simply by looking at the standings. Halifax is gonna make it when they're that bad (still)? 3-9-0 doesn't deserve to be in playoffs. At the end of the day, looking back into the rules and refreshing my brain from those great green days, the issue once again heads back to parity. 808 words, the end.

Suuuuuuu

@Moon who is on 360 anymore????
