Draft night is almost here, and Warsaw is ready to rumble. Watch out everyone, in a season or two, Warsaw is going to be gunning for the top spot in the league and a cup. if that happens, I’ll buy @.sniffuM 2 packs of whatever flavour of pierogies. More teams.. and some of the GM’s are always very slow so expect another slow one probably.

Woo hoo TLO!

This but not Calgary.

Woo hoo!!!

Oh ya @Jubis good talks my dude. I like you.

@DoktorFunk Thanks for forcefully being drafted by me and being my hostage for the last 7 seasons and a year and some of your life. I loved having you on the organization. I appreciate the hard work you put into making Greene a great player but also build somewhat for the team. The sacrifice and loyalty is something I’d never be able to repay but hopefully 4 cups will do. You are one of 3 guys I trust the very most on this site. You can throw Frosty and maybe another dude in that mix too. When I traded Frosty, fuck did it actually make me feel sad and once again, I feel that stuff, man. STUFF. I’m gonna miss you being around brother. I really will! (He’s staying in the secret council, lols). Love you, dude. Good luck out there. @Ricer13 Welcome. ... can you imagine, dok all that and you 1 word? Lol. We’ve chatted tons in numerous roles and you’re a good guy. Tried to pry you away many seasons ago and while it’s somewhat of a shit way - WE GOTCHA. Now.. put on Dok’s chains and cuffs. DA BEARZ

Sign me up!

Another Seattle one??

I had a feeling, I didn’t have a feeling. I was confident in the team that we had but you never know with STHS and surely at times the greatness in front of you can blind you from the greatness across from you. Fortunately, for the 4th time in the last 6 seasons, that was not the case. Calgary gave us a run, but the moment this series was down to the wire, I got to work at looking for those special markers in games and patterns, and boom, bang, beam.. we done it! Helsinki, congrats on the season. It’s special to make it all the way to the big show and I know as well how heartbreaking it can be to be so close and then come up short.. take it from me - you can return and it doesn’t have to take long. It was bad ass what you guys did to Riga and how far you made it. The feeling sucks ass but don’t be down. It was a hell of a performance from the start of the regular season to the end of the playoffs. Seattle team - You get tired of me calling you champions yet? It’s like identical twins that look too much the same and I keep fucking up your names. My butler the other day had to remind me “uh sir, that’s not 4x continental cup champion, that’s Scott Greene”.. I corrected him, though. I said “ Butler, that’s 4x Continental Cup Champion Scott Greene to you”... hehe.. The door keeps revolving and while we have been able to work together to keep the amazing core in tact, we’ve continuously brought in younger to have them taste the fine dining and wining that is winning Continental Cups for us. Rumour has it, every place that serves food in Seattle is now giving out free CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST’S for the rest of the week (aren’t they always free?). I’ve said it on 4 different times and many, many other occasions sporadically throughout our times together.. THANK YOU. Thank you for coming on-board and building the dynasty that we have. To them older guys, for showing the newer members on the Bears what it takes to become and remain the best of the very, very best.. your loyalty, your players skills/your hard work and the very most, your guidance, have helped this team become the legendary, historic team it’s became. It would not have without you. I am so proud of what the Seattle Bears organization has become. Throughout my 25 seasons as GM, plus the 10 or so+ years of sim league experience, I have never felt a brand that was so loyal as the team and teams we’ve had over the last many seasons. 68, 69, 71 and now 73, boys.. all this talk about “Bana maybe being one of the best” and Bana this and bana that is super sweet.. it’s what I strive for every day in this role.. but this one is 110% yours. It’s sad our time is coming to an end for some of you older Bears. You have been a sim league family to me and am grateful to each of you. There isn’t a soul I trust more in these leagues. To the new boys, I hope you like winning because we ain’t fucking done! Uhtred and Dil have their 2nd cups!! OMD has won with 2 different Bear players during this dynasty.. Timmy got one now.. ODIN is the MAN. Tonn is the best back up... ever. I look forward to moving on.. to new players that cross our paths and the future of da BEARZ. Enough of the blabbing. I was fishing and had a lot of raw emotions building up about this amazing group that I have. Excited for the future of this team and the role. See you all out there! DA BEARZ

Congrats to you guys and good luck!

It’s how it should be anyway... not like the old GM’s... tsk tsk

Yeeeee

THE FINALS ARE HERE. The excitement of the fans is almost too much to contain. Every announcer in Helsinki is screaming at the top of their lungs and coffee is flying off the fucking shelves in the Bears Den during these playoffs. The Fins sure so love their screaming and the Seattle fans their fresh brewed dark roast magic. For some teams, the wait has been a short one but I'm sure they're ready to get on with the off-season and starting working towards their goals for next season. For others, like Vancouver, the expansion teams and whoever else I don't list but have been waiting for forever, I can only imagine as it's been awhile and brain too used to doing a little okay at least. I mean, I can't imagine at all maybe for Vancouver? Maybe S66? They got picks, they're ready to go and make some noise. Seattle back in the finals. We've got 3 cups in 5 seasons. 4 finals in 6 seasons. Can we make it 4 cups in 6 seasons? Damn, that would be cool. Games one and two VS HSK went in a 1-1 split. Game 1 was shit but we feel like it was STHS going a little cuckoo. Game 2 was what we were expecting between these teams and Seattle was fortunate to take the W there. I really expected those tight battles - something similar to Calgary. It's the style that seems to follow Seattle everywhere. However, 2 team party in these finals and Helsinki reminded Seattle of that with a big 7-2 win. Are the Fins screaming the team being magic, Rayz being shit or both? Probably both. You would hope both. Unless... Does Finland have Winter Ostriches that live with their heads under ice? an be the only way they didn't see RayRay play like poopoo. Game 4, Seattle at least responded. Fuck ya. 5-2 win. Kind of makes up for the bullshit we put out the game before. Though, like I commented, a L is a L. A W is a W. Move on and get ready for the next. Tomorrow is a big day for sims. That's all I'm going to say. You're gonna wanna be around. WE GOT A DOUBLE HEADER?!?!?! MAYBE

Good write up.

Being helped by being on an expansion team to me doesn’t shout outstanding while looking at a few other names and comparing things for me. Amazing season, but would he have gotten that on a team that wasn’t LAS? Why did Beav go to Warsaw? I sense the vibe it was to pad stats for HoF but maybe not. ? Any who, that’s the magic of voting. Usually not unanimous and different opinions. I’m maybe over analyzing and should just take the player into accoun, period no matter the cause, but hey. ??

Nobody in an expansion team for me. Why do you think the commie went to one? EZ. Went with Benny, seen Tate after. I vote for Tate. My bad. You all should too! edit: Dow is there too f

As the years go on for VHL, words become harder to find and gifs become easier.

Don’t see anyone else ballin as hard Moscow sleeping giant, NYA DED again after 1 season of fame. Wolves the next beastly animal to rise in the league with the bears. Long live NA! NA NA NA NA NA > EU E-U EW

Worst part, you can score 15 and it’s only 1W.

Best part, you can let in 15 and it’s only 1L. Rayz gets the record and now has a look-a-like in net for himself.
