@AW13 messaged you but thank you for your time in Seattle. Complete team player. DCD and the VHL are lucky to have you! Appreciate your efforts with DA BEARZ! Seems an overpayment, but I’m not so sure. 89 may be a bit weaker - I guess we’ll see.. @dlamb Have always been a fan of your players and we finally get to have one in Seattle. We’re looking pretty damn good having added DeGroot and Lamb in the last 24 hours! Let’s make some noise!! @Enorama Appreciate the talks!

Wooooo

@zepheter I love you, buddy. Thank you for coming on board. I hope, if we have the chance to, we meet once more in the future with another player. HC be doing good things and I'm hoping you light on fire. @rory Took awhile, but we got you here. Happy to have you back

Alrighty Seaddle

Sweet, BS.

Bana Blabs #59 S87 VHL Standings Hello, VHL. Hope everything is going good for each member that is reading this. What's going on with Bana? Got all our documents printed out and loaded into a drive, got all our luggage stuff kind of ready to go, have started very minor small talks and have taken care of other "to do's" for Australia. Crazy to think it's 11 days away. Scary! Also, exciting! For the VHL, we're over half the way to playoffs and theme week/trade deadline are HERE! Kovalchuk is doing good things, Seattle not as much. Let's BLAB! Kovalchuk is doing good this season. That makes me happy. His career feels more alive. No knocks to Prague, I just wasn't super active in there towards the end. Always pop in like I do in London though! Both good places to play. Seattle sucks something fierce. Can't score goals, can't prevent goals and the roster which looks good on paper, isn't good on the ice. Deadline is on the 20th, right? I'm just trying to remember off the top of my head. Curious to see what there's going to be for movement and whispers this season. Things seem tight! Theme week is an okay idea. I didn't really explore it too much and just did a basic article. Some have actually been cool. For me, it's rarely about what I write about. It's fun to see what others think and write about! bye

REMEMBERING RIVALRIES Theme week is here in the Victory Hockey League and it's truly hard to believe. While some would say the off-season took forever, I'd assume those same people are maybe also thinking that the season is flying by. The season had started, I blinked my eyes and now were all of a sudden in the middle of the season (42-44 games into) and the trade deadline is fast approaching. While things are shaping up in all 3 leagues, the official blues of the league have introduced a theme week that is surely going to be a bit of fun for the VHL community. The theme week for this S87's seasonal theme week is 'rivalries" and I think it's a pretty good one. In the last 40-50 seasons, I'm sure we've had to of done this, right? Despite that, I think it's a good enough one that someone always has a story about a fun rivalry or even one that somewhat resembles the article's introduction gif. So when I think back during my time here, what are some of my biggest rivalries? Hmm.. Seattle VS Calgary It seems like, especially in the 70's, that whenever Seattle was in the playoffs, we played Calgary a lot. It was almost a given that each year the teams made playoffs, their paths would cross. For quite a few seasons during this time, they did. I think when I look back on it I remember Seattle doing fairly well. There may have been a time or two when Seattle was down and out in the series and came crawling back to win it all. Every time these teams played, there was always such a rivalry for awhile. Seattle VS Chicago There was a time in the 70's again I think where these two had some pretty bad blood. Does it still exist on this side? Less than what it used to be but it's probably still there. Just not as intense, now as an experience/history and surely not as heated as it felt sometimes. I guess even more less because a lot of the original members are no longer with either team. However, I do remember that this was probably one of the more strong rivalries during my time as GM. I remember myself and the team wanting to win and feeling the fire when you did and even didn't win. VHL GM's VS ROBBIE This one was a lot of fun. Robbie was a polarizing member that liked to troll and fuck around. Often times, he'd push well passed the line, be a complete asshole and then say he has more up his sleeve and to stay tuned for next weeks episode. Honestly? I had Robbie on the Bears twice and I actually remember liking him when he was a member. He was good in the locker rooms and all of that stuff. So, outside noise separate, he was good to the Bears, while being a Bear, in the Bear's locker room. HOWEVER, Robbie really went silly at the end and started doing a bunch of stuff only Robbie could do. To this day he claims he never would have accepted an offer, but there wasn't any offers to accept. Robbie out Robbie'd himself and the GM's threw some rocks back by not signing his player at all. For the sake of it, his player was pretty good. Now all this wants me to want wanting Robbie back. 577 bye

Bana Blabs #58 Another week, another blab. 17 days until I leave for Australia. That's pretty wild. I'm crazy, right? Some days I feel crazy but hey, once in a lifetime experience. Life is too short. Have fun. For the VHL, up and down once again for Seattle. After a hot start, we're basically a .500 team and looking around at others, it's surprising. LA has 2 d-men. Seattle has a decent enough goalie, great d-men and a mix of talent and depth up top. Could use more there but I think we're better than our record should be. Anyway, let's blab. My player, Mikhail Kovalchuk, continues to do well with London. I really have enjoyed this player - as I do with all, but the excitement of this one has been a bit lower consistently. I'm looking forward to my next player but will keep trucking for now for Dil, London and to see if I can still have a decent ending. As mentioned, Seattle is up and down. Players builds like Bogatyrev are good enough to produce, but they struggle no matter what builds or players they're with. Yet, you look around the league and players with similar builds are thriving. It only bugs me so much because, as a GM would know and relate, we want all our players kicking ass. I was looking at player stats for their careers. Often, I write about which Seattle Bears players are coming up on career milestones. This time I hopped over to GM's. It's really cool to see how everyone is doing, has done and all the history with GM's. The wins totals goes like this (regulation, OTW, SOW) for top 15 GM's of all-time for wins. GREEN AND BOLD = STILL ACTIVE. 1. @Banackock- 1,514 Wins 2. @hedgehog337- 1,305 Wins 3. @diamond_ace- 1,014 Wins 4. @Advantage aka hacker - 1,006 Wins 5. @Bushito- 924 Wins 6. @gregreg- 834 Wins 7. @Higgins- 815 Wins 8. @Devise- 768 Wins 9. @Beaviss - 675 Wins 10. @Frank - 662 Wins 11. @Victor - 656 Wins 12. @Enorama- 642 Wins 13. @Mike - 551 Wins 14. @eaglesfan0366 - 532 Wins 15. @JeffD - 506 Wins
