#MakeVHLMGreatAgain I loved GMing Bratislava for the 5 seasons that I did. I really liked the way the VHLM worked and got into a cycle of it all. If it wasn't for the Bears knocking on my door, I'd probably still be the Watchmen's GM (need to hire GM's like that imo. Not ones who stay for 2 seasons than piss off).

It says scooter logged in 54 minutes ago?

weird. Only played 6 min though! Whats with you and 17 penalty minutes?!

Holik

Guess this could go two ways. 1. There are no rules referring to waiving a no trade clause. Does it have to be accepted prior to the trade or may it be done afterwards? Higgins made a good point of people living in different time zones may be sleeping, working or not have access, though, from 0000 to 1800 is quite an amount of time for them to accept. Not overly the case in this situation though. So really, SWC3 fucked whoever by not accepting etc? 2. Though the idea of it is that each GM has to post and accept on the deal, technically, this deal is not yet completed as the No Trade Clause has yet to be waived. So, is it fair to say that the deal is void simply because it was not 100% accepted by 1800 MTN/2000 EST?

Has to be posted, yeah. But there's nothing on a NTC being waived or w/e. Tricky, sticky.

Guess there's no clarification in the rules. Thus, imo, legal? idk

my thoughts

Eh, not too shabby.

ha, @DollarAndADream. this was a win/loss situation for yah.

Love seein Hamilton play big! Good game for Holik and the rest too GG

Greg I accept, yep.

Go back to your cave, you!

Just read it. Correcting it as we speak, oi.

um why not?

Yuh, that is good. Accept. See you soon @hedgehog337

Yes you are.

The VHL all-star day is always a prestigious time during each regular season. For starters, it's a time where a majority of those who aren't selected get a much needed day of rest and allow themselves to visit family, friends or their comfy couches. For a select few, it's almost a privilege and honor. If you are one of the very few who are selected to play on this day, it means you're either doing something right or bending over backwards for the right GM. The S53 VHL and VHLM all-star games have gotten underway for the season and like a majority of years, is focused heavily on by the media, fans and those involved in the game. This year, we see teams Boubabi and Gorlab go head to head in the VHL all-star game to see which group of players can say they "bested" the best. Of the 20 players and 6 goalies, a majority of VHL organizations got to see a player represented at the VHL all-star game, however, some were more fortunate than others. For the Seattle Bears? They were represented by 6 of their own players in Filipe Rodriguez, Jeff Hamilton, Guntis Petenis, Zack Parechkin, Pietro Maximoff and Jakab Holik. Each of these players have had fairly strong seasons. Some had started off hot, simmering down later on. Some have continued a consistent pace a majority of the way through the regular season. Either way, all of these players are well deserved VHL all-stars and will likely play some big games for the respected teams during the match up. The Seattle Bears are currently sitting in first place in the league with a record of 49-9-2. They've scored the 3rd most goals, let in the least amount of goals, and are 1st in the league for their power play and penalty kill. When looking at their roster, their statistics and on-ice play, it's easy to see why the Bears have had such a strong season. Each of the players who were selected to represent the Bears at the game have played a huge role in the Bears success, while they also seen play from a couple others who easily could have went to the games as well (Sven Wolf, Bogdan Podarok). For those who did make it, let's take a closer look under the microscope and give quick reasons as to why each player got chosen for the games. Jeff Hamilton We started off with Jeff Hamilton for pretty good reason. He's arguably one of the best defenseman to ever play the game. Call it Bear biased, but we call it the truth. The guy is legendary and while his statistics and cup winnings may not exactly show or back that up, we like to think his character, loyalty and how he plays on the ice and in the locker room does. Hamilton decided to come back for a reunion tour with the Bears prior to hanging up the skates and hasn't done too bad of a job while repping the Bears jersey one last time. He's played a pretty well balanced game offensively and defensively this season and it's one of the reasons he's in the games. 53 Games Played - 22 goals, 51 assists, 73 points, +44, 67 H, 77 SB Pietro Maximoff Pietro Maxmioff was acquired this season by the Bears and was looking to continue his previous season's play during S53. Safe to say. S53 started pit that exact way. Pietro was ocne again tearing up the league and destroying everything in his path. Multiple 4 and 5 point nights, the team really depended on him to bring in the points and wins. While things have slowed down and his point total may not be what it was after S52, his year is still going strong and you will easily see him eclipse 100 points and likely 50 goals this season. 53 games played - 37 goals, 52 assists, 89 points, +37, 37 H, 53 SB Filipe Rodriguez This one is one of the best to see because it's so deserving on so many levels. Rodriguez made a switch from defenseman to forward (center) in the off-season to help out his team. Displaying huge loyalty, sacrifice and commitment to winning, that's almost enough for some sort of recognition. Following that bold and courageous move, he's managed to put up some pretty damn good points while also being able to lay the body around the ice big time. Rodriguez is the 3rd biggest hitter on the team and also sits 3rd for points and goals. 53 games played, 33 goals, 42 assists, 75 points, +28, 183 H, 28 SB Zack Parechkin This is a name you see again and again in the VHL all-star games every season. Parechkin has been one of the most dominant players in the last 8 seasons and has spent it with the Toronto Legion hoisting cups, individual awards and really making a legendary name for himself that no one will forget. During the off-season, he was moved to the Seattle Bears and while his play may not be quite what it was in Toronto, he's still turning heads, wrecking people on ice and being a huge players on the offensive statistics sheet. One of the more physical players in the league, and a forward to match, it's safe to say Parechkin won't just be killing people with goals in the game. 53 games played, 32 goals, 41 assists, 73 points, +41, 250 H, 28 SB Jakab Holik One of the toughest, if not toughest, position to play and Holik generally makes it look pretty damn easy every single night. Holik has been one of the biggest players to the Bears for seasons and seasons and while it's not surprise that he's representing the Bears, he extremely deserving of the award and isn't some light award handed out in potentially some other goalie cases due to the lack of skill tendy's. Holik sits 3rd for Sv%, 1st for GAA, 1st for minutes played, 2nd for shut outs and 1st for wins overall with currently 42 on the year. When looking at the stats, he's arguably the best goalie in the league right now. 53 games played, 42 wins, 9 losses, 2 overtime losses, .925 SV%, 1.64 GAA and 9 Shut outs Guntis Petenis Drafted by the Bears and ever since has been a loyal, big player on their blue line - Guntis Petenis has officially made his way into an all-star game and like the others, is pretty damn deserving. While he isn't known for his offensive play and isn't in the top 10 for points among defenseman, Petenis brings a shut down style of game to the Bears each and every night and is also 2nd on the team for laying out the hits. With 33 points on the season through the 53 games, he isn't too poor on the offensive side either and still manages to chip in every 2nd game or so. 53 games played, 6 goals, 27 assists, 33 points, +46, 208 H, 68 SB 4 Wolf (+12)

good choice imo

While this year has not been disappointing for Sven Wolf, the young, Swedish center for the Seattle Bears, he managed to miss the voting cut-off for making his way into the VHL all-star game. Inactive plugs like AK-47 made their way in and currently league rapist Joal Jarvi. I guess that's what happens when there's only 3 players on the team and the sim still kicks out goals for that club. Anywho, Wolf is poised to bring his play to an new level, as he was seen working on his more physical side of the game and has been seen hitting the gyms a little harder. He had also taken up hitting practice with star veteran forward Zach Parechkin. We won't comment on Jarvi. We all know the least amount of players on a team and those players still have to get the points. Either way, he's having a good year. Cool to see and hope he hits some records. Just blows he retired again. As for the all-star shit.. sucks I've yet to be in it but I feel as though next year will be my year - especially with all secretive things considered. 4 Wolf

Are you kidding me? He rocked that shit. #1
