Claiming a Free "12" TPE/Double Week for Aleksei Federov. January 8th to January 14th.

IMO, 5M is the same as the rest. Double awards could be a huge cash in, as is +2 attributes (could equate to like 16+ TPE, no?). Free Week = 3M, so you got more than those who got Free Week.

I'm thinking the exact same thing. I was hoping my name was gonna be on that list as I couldn't remember the number I chose. Bless it, a Christmas miracle!

Good one!

Noice! Gg

good sim huh

gud job

#1

Limbo.. yeah. 3/6.

Always finding light in darkness. I dig your methods. Good game, guys and good seasonal series thus far!

GG!

Mattias Forsberg has been a bigger name in Seattle than most of the guys for a little while now. While he may not be the big star like McAllister, he is the Draisitl to McAllister's McDavid though. They seem to have a really nice one-two punch going on right now and both are pretty exceptional players playing on a pretty damn good team. However, like McAllister entering his tenure with the Bears, Forsberg's days have been full of gold - despite being on a losing squad for most of it. Unlike Federov, who has exceptional talent but can't seem to figure out how to bust away from mediocrity, Forsberg's offensive numbers have always been pretty solid. From day one he had been kicking around the point per game mark and as both the organization and Forsberg developed and grew, the two began to largely affect one another for the positive. As we look at Forsberg today, we see one hell of a player and I'm sure the Seattle fanbase is very thankful to have such a dynamic, explosive player on their roster. With that, that's take a nice little trip down memory lane to see Mattias Forsberg's career so far with the Seattle Bears. S56 - The Rook Campaign It's tough being a rookie in these leagues, but I'm not sure VHL is the most difficult to try and grow in. SHL you sit in the bottom ranks for sometime before actually climbing out and the same could be said for the GOMHL. In the VHL, you could be a rookie and easily have yourself a 2nd line spot playing with some crazy good players if your team is good enough. If not, you could also be a 1st liner with shit but somehow still manage to score 70-100 points (It makes shit sense, but whatever. Fuck realism). At the end of the day, sometimes it seems like Oprah handing out gifts at her show but instead of gadgets and gismos, she's handing out points - "YOU GET A POINT! YOU DO! YOU DO! EVERYONE DOES!". Luckily for Forsberg, this was pretty much the case for him and the hockey gods and Oprah were all on his side. Though the Bears struggled through the regular season to yet another early season finish as they missed playoffs, this was one of the first years promise started to show. The lotto draft was won and some of their players really started to develop and grow. Forsberg finished the season with 31 goals, 39 assists and 70 points which had him sitting in 31st place in league scoring. Not amazing, but not bad either with all things considered. 72 GP - 31 G, 39 A, 70 PTS S57 - Sophomore, but how soft? And enter the turn around. The Seattle Bears organization went out and made some moves. Peter Quill, Fook Yu, Daryll Dortch and Vernon Von Axelberry were all pieces the team brought in to make a bigger splash for the team and to be honest with you and despite what some may say, they did make a difference. One thing you needed to take into account was that the conference was so damn competitive and while some people will make the argument "They still missed the playoffs. What could came if they didn't make the playoffs?". Well, let us tell you that before, the team was shit and below 0.500. I don't even think the team was in talks for making playoffs. Now, they had brought themselves up to a level where that could actually be possible. Succeeding from that point, the team added some big firepower onto McAllister and Forsberg. I think a big issue here was goaltending, but also the lack of defensive strength. For Forsberg though, he didn't quite see the performance gap increase like his organization and maybe some of his teammates did. Similar to Federov's start or stability and patterns in offensive increases, Mattias Forsberg didn't go no where. He hit the same 70 point mark and grew stale, this time scoring 2 less goals on the season. Safe to say, he'd be looking to make a much louder bang next season. In fact, Seattle needs him to if they're going to take the next step. 72 GP - 29 G - 41 A - 70 PTS S58 - We're Present and Moving Welcome everybody to the Present. This season was set to be a good one as the league decided to fold some teams, make the league a little smaller which in turn allowed teams and the VHL to get a little more competitive. Despite some potential hiccups (salary cap and shit), things have been running smoothly. In our eyes though, the bracketed salary cap issues will diminish once the TWO PLAYER system vanishes and once again you'll be left with 4 people on every team unless you find some members to come here and help Leonardo DiCaprio (metaphorically, the VHL) back onto the life raft or I'm afraid well freeze and sink to the bottom. Away from that, the Bears added a little more damage to their roster in taking Shawn Gretzky 2nd overall in the VHL contraction draft. This move likely had to have been one of their bigger ones in the off-season, however, they also managed to go our and get elite, all-star defender Fabio Jokinen off of the Quebec Meute. With those two massive deals behind them and the season roughly a quarter of the way finished, the team is rolling high and so is Forsberg. The Bears currently sit in first place with a record of 15-3-1 and Forsberg sits 3rd on the team with 11 goals, 14 assists and 25 points through the 19 games played. For Forsberg, this is a nice little leap in the right direction and we're sure he's happy with it. Final Statement from Forsberg regarding current season and career My career so far here in Seattle has been very rewarding. While the 2nd year was a little disappointing due to the fact I wasn't seeing an offensive increase, it could have been worse so I took the consistency as a sign of positivity and worked off it to become better for Season 58. Right now, myself and the boys are flying high and really kicking some ass. The season isn't a shoe in though. Lots of great teams out there and anything can happen. In fact, I doubt we're the favourites to win. That honour would likely go to Riga or Toronto, but again, you never know what'll happen. What I do know is that we're all back and trying. Working and training. We'll do what it takes to make sure we have the best chances and assets on this organization to help us succeed at winning. For now, we're going to enjoy the ride, keep working as a team and hopefully continue to find successful consistencies and ways to improve our game to make it even stronger each sim. 2 Weeks for Mattias Forsberg (+6) Jan 1st to 7th Jan 8th to 14th

sorry was reading my crystal ball and not stats page

NICE! Welcome back to the league, dude.

Aleksei Federov has been one of Seattle's key players since he was drafted by the organization a few seasons back. At the start of his tenure with the Bears, he was alone in terms of talent and safe to say struggled to perform like so many expected him to do. However, as the years went on, he continued to progress and fortunately for him and the team, the team followed suit adding quite a few weapons of mass destruction (I mean, Seattle is in the USA so it makes sense, right?). Since those days, he's seen bigger and better times climaxing around the point per game range and being a huge force to be reckoned with out on the ice. One concern that may come, despite how great he seems on paper and how strong of a player he truly is, he may have hit his wall when it comes to points. This is our feelings with him remaining as a Bear anyway. We feel as though he would have a much stronger impact elsewhere - and by impact, we mean on himself. He plays a hell of a game in Seattle, however, we feel like he doesn't have enough help on the blue-line and this in fact negatively affects him every single game. Himself and Jokinen this season are carrying such a huge load that it may be too much to do so in the longer stretch of things. Either way, Federov has started the season off on a fairly positive note. He has 13 points in 17 games and 4 of those points were dingers that lit the lamp red. He's also managed over 32 minutes a game which is absolutely crazy and has had a huge impact on the team - even if his offensive numbers don't show it. He logs huge minutes of special teams every single night and plays an all round solid game. For that, and with the help of the rest of the boys, the Bears have gone 14-3-0 on the season to be tied for 1st place in the league right now with 28 points. With us today, we figured we'd get the man himself in to talk a little bit about the season, the Bears, expectations and how he feels he's done this year. The season and how he's done. I'm a little disappointed with how things have gone this season. I mean, I know I'm only used to about a PPG - I'm not an explosive player per say, more all round built, but I expect more from myself every game, every night. Right now I expected to be at about the 20+ point mark with say 7-9 goals. I'm just not playing how I want to and for the sake of my stats but also the teams, I really feel myself stepping up would bring a much higher caliber Bear team to the table. da Bears We're running on a high note. Unfortunately, we just lost our league leading 9 or 10 game winning streak, but it is what it is. The streak was great and we had a lot of fun on it and learned a lot of things. We seen huge progression, chemistry and things that we may need to work on against certain teams. It's a learning curve for us - always is, and we have the right guys on the organization to help assist management in making those decisions. GM Campbell has always been great at taking in advice and listening to his players, but this year it's really something else. Last to mention was Fooky and now we're rolling with part of his suggestions and Campbell's and they're working real well together. I would love to see us munch out of good numbers against the Legion, but we've yet to figure them out. There's a lot of good teams out their right now, but we feel unless King stands on his head and plays like a god himself, Legion are the team for us to beat this year. Riga is good, but unless King is great I'm not too sure how "good" they'll be. Again, good team - but King great makes them great. Expectations I've mentioned a little bit about this already. For my short term forecast, I expected 20+ points at this point in the season - especially with how our team has been playing. Aside from that and looking more into the longterm, I expect 90+ points and ideally I'd like 30 of those points to be goals. I want to be a goal scoring d-man too, someone who can light the lamp and it a dynamic force of offensive pressure. Again, I will need to step things up heavily but I'm confident it can happen with the right things falling into place. Who has stood out to you? Maybe at times he struggles, but the first one to mention is V2A. He was drafted by the team and then scooted out in trade for LaFlamme. Somehow, we managed to get him back in Free Agency and he patiently waited for his turn to shine and now he's doing it. Everyone struggles - fuck, look at me, but I think the more he focuses and trains himself, the better he becomes (obviously). More so what I meant is the consistency will flow much longer, stronger and effectively. He's a good goalie, but he's just a slight make off of great and that may be what gives Toronto the little bit of edge they may have on us. Another guy that stood us was newcomer Gretzky. Adding him to the team was a smart move by Campbell and easily was a big factor into the teams early on success. Right now, he's playing at a level which is carrying the offensive load. Yes, there's tons of guys right there behind him, but Gretzky has been on a whole new level for us this season and we really hope he keeps rolling. It's always nice to see a good, hardworking guy get rewarded so strongly and at the end of the day, I'm on of his biggest fans in the locker room. Lastly, what are you expectations moving forward as a team. Ultimately, whether you're a rookie, in your prime or about to call it quits, your biggest goal is to win a championships. This season, we're feeling more alive than ever and after missing like we did last season, I think we've come back much more hungry. We want it. It sucked and now that we have a stronger team, things are falling into place for us. I don't feel like we're quite there yet, and that's just being honest with you guys, but we're pretty fucking close. We need to just figure out a couple things and we'll really be a good contender. Either way, we're enjoying the season, having fun with the success we're having and our looking forward to keeping it going. 2 weeks of Aleksei Federov (+6) Dec 24-31 and January 1st to January 7th
