Man, it's Sunday - the weather is not in our favor, I'm eating bland oatmeal and watching the morning news. I have no idea what your title means because my brain is literally running on turtle today. Well, the title surely speaks for itself but what it means is that we've officially found a replacement for Calgary Wranglers Norris Stropko. Goalies right now, or atleast elite ones, are hard to come by in my eyes in the current VHL. You have Norris Stropko who fits that mold, than a Broduer who doesn't, and a Tristan Iseult of the Quebec Meute who is playing the best hockey of his life.. but still.. is not Elite. Roger Sterling came into the VHLM and to say he has struggled since has been an understatement. He went 21-40-7 with the Las Vegas Aces and since then, hasn't changed a whole lot (until this season, really). He was drafted by the Seattle Bears not too long ago and has since been given the helms to the team. He is now the guy who tames the net, who the team is going to rely on in between the pipes and is easily the current best guy to take over the reign for Norris Stropko once Calgary drops off next season (Bushito can say it won't happen, but it's going to with 5 other teams competing). For Sterling, though, his first year was absolute and complete shit. Was it his fault? Fuck no. The Bears made it clear that a lotto pick was in their radar and even if they gave it their all, tried to pump out wins and blah blah, they still wouldn't have. The roster wasn't their and to put it best, their record - his record, matched the entire team. He was still a good goalie - maybe just one who was in a little over his head at that time. His record for S61 11-53-3 as the Bears truly did sail to a nice draft pick. Key in draft pick, welcome Kovalchuk - a high up, fiery d-man and adding another centre and you've got CHAOS. The Bears, while not supposed to be winning this season, currently ARE! They've got a beautiful shiny "X" beside their name in the standings and are 4th place in the league, 2 points up on Riga's 69. Is it a surprise that they're here? sort of - yes, but also no. New York is Garbage and while Helsinki has some nice pieces, they weren't winning shit this year. Toronto may have been the only team to be able to punch Seattle out, but have struggled out of the gates and seemingly have lost some tread on their tires. GOOD NEWS FOR STERLING because it's made his stats a whole lot better (and my own as a GM, hehe). 30-27-7 will be the record that he goes to sleep with at the end of the season as the remaining 8 games belong to the back up goalies. Where does Sterling go from here? I'd say it's pretty easy. As a team forms around him in Seattle, he's only going to get better and better and better. The team has a solid first lines - and have added a player in Jack Shephard who hopefully signs for next year. Adding a d-man in the draft is an option, as well as grabbing a FA or two, or even swinging a big deal come the off-season closer to the draft. I expect Sterling to have a strong career. over 500 words SPECIAL WEEK - 16 TPE Claiming (Kovalchuk) --> September 17th to September 23rd!

The team entered the league at a chaotic point. We had members joining left and right - bless it, and a team was needed. HALIFAX! With specific circumstances making the trial and error situation with outsourcing our graphic desire a little difficult, we know the wait has been long, it's been difficult and surely a little trying on some peoples patience. With that being said, the Green team ( @.sniffuM and myself), the Blue team ( @Will & @Beketov) and recruitment leads part of the process ( @Spade18, @Tagger and @Beaviss) extended our gratitude and appreciation for your outstanding patience with this. LADIES (do we got some here?)... GENTLEMAN (most of you!).... THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! | | V Happy to see a quality logo out for the team! May it serve you well, @ShawnGlade
