  1. Bratislava will throw a claim on Lucas Villa
  2. Went through multiple people to get the "okay" for this. Had been in the works for a while, however, due to me being busy with work/life, looking for a trade partner and tfong and myself playing cat and mouse - it had taken a while. Although the season is basically over, Lundy still will get to experience playoffs with Brampton and take the helms for a team. When I got him, he was a huge asset for us. Then we signed Cola and things changed. He was a great guy at one time in the LR and we hope that he is still kicking around the VHL and becomes a goalie to compete against for myself. To Brampton - Fillip Lundqvist (G) To Bratislava - Shipment of Doritos Yep.
  3. I still love you Valmount. Unlucky game. Bratislava, go home - you drunk, girl.
  4. Bratislava will FREE CLAIM Stumppell Aurinkoinen Jr. He will win with us. He will get points with us. Moscow drop your claim, brah. Be the good guy
  5. VERY close game.
  6. Blake Campbell (400+ TPE) Claim 3.
  7. Bratislava will claim Shawn Muller.
  8. Bratislava would like to sign Hudson for the remainder of the season pending any further priority claims from teams ahead of us. LW - Hudson Backbauer http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/7422-s39-lw-hudson-backenbauer-tpe-99/
  9. Wranglers Americans Meute Vikings

  11. HBD. Claaaaaim.
  12. Sigh. Better be special favors...
  13. Willcox was a member of the team at the start of the year, however, it had been 3 years+ since he was drafted here, meaning he was released into the FA pool. Travis Willcox Player Page AND THE WATCHMEN GET STRONGER. WERE ALWAYS WATCHING YOU OSLO. Even when you're sleeping d_a. Especially when you're sleeping.

    a 3rd is what.. 20-24 overall? etc How often do drafts go that deep? A 1st for a player that has 60 TPE in basically his first week - even if a rental. Yeah, it's overpayment but imo come game 7 and you're being sent home and I'm moving on, itll be worth it and make me wish I woulda paid more just to give you more false satisfaction now.

    Sandro a beast. Sadly a rental player as he's undrafted, but nonetheless, a great asset to our blueline. Has quickly gained TPE, so pumped to see what he can do for us. Thanks tfong for helping me in the pursuit of taking down the mighty Storm! Welcome to the team Sandro.
  17. It seems like it was just yesterday that Blake Campbell wa sa young face to the league trying to make a name for himself. Since then, he's won a Founders Cup championship and is now the starting goalie for the Stockholm Vikings. For a young guy in the league, he isn't quite developed to his full potential, however, is very much so on his way. With the pressure on for him to come up big for him teammates and management, we've come to wonder what he is thinking, how he is feeling and what's going on in the goalie's mind. Due to this curiosity, we managed to get Blake Campbell to come sit down and have a little questioning period with us. Without further delay, let's begin the interview. TSN: Firstly, congrats on a starting position at such a young age. How did it feeling transitioning from a junior championship winning guy, to a back up behind a potential Hall of famer, to a now starter for a very successful organization? BC: I think the best way to put it is that it feels proper. Meaning, I took the right way in order to get to where I am. In no way do I think I was fed from the golden spoon and handed a career of greatness. I've climbed up the ladder, like most, and have earned and put time into each spot in order to get to where I am. Winning the Founder's Cup was my first taste of success and truly made me crave a championship in the VHL. Being a back up behind Brick Wahl was a great learning experience for myself. He taught me the in's and out's and what I should focus on so that I can be stronger for my team once he retired. As for now being a starter, it feels great. It's a silly question to ask because the answers obvious. The pressure is there to perform big, but I'm just focusing on playing my game for now and we'll go from there. TSN: What are your thoughts on how you've played so far this season? BC: Honestly, a lot would say I've done well but there's always room for improvement. My numbers are strong, however, I've found it a little difficult to find consistency. It's not overly that I have poor games, but that I need to be willing to find a way to withstand the pressure and keep the games close without letting a soft one in. I'd prefer the pressure to be on me, not my teammates. If that's the case, it likely means we're winning. I think as the season goes on, we'll find great chemistry and have a good rest of the year. TSN: Yes, we believe this also. What's the best part about being a Viking? BC: There's a lot of great things about being in Stockholm. I'm playing right now with a lot of great friends that I've known from prior times or other leagues in the past. Our locker room is a great atmosphere and you're able to just kick back and enjoy life while in there. Likely the thing that keeps me here most though is our management. At the end of the day, it all leads back to the guy that runs the show. If you have poor roster, are losing or the lr isn't active, it's likely on the GM. Everything we have right now is really good and a lot of credit should be given to boub. TSN: And lastly Blake, do you plan on being a Viking for the rest of your career? BC: Only time will tell, to be honest. In a business like this, things can change quickly. If I had it my way, and so as long as everything runs smoothly and there's no changes to management, I don't plan on going anywhere. TSN: We'll, thanks for your time Blake. Feel free to come in any time and waste 10 minutes of peoples days by doing more quick articles for TPE. BC: Oh believe me, I will. Take care, man. (For the week of July 6th to July 12)
  18. Two weeks ago, Bratislava was in the midst of change as previous GM, Jericho, had stepped down for personal reasons. The reigns were given to a new face within the VHLM, Blake Campbell, who has since continued the pattern of changes seen within the Bratislava locker room. With a trade in, a couple waiver signings and now a big time FA coming aboard, things have turned around quickly for the Watchmen organization. With us now shortly after the signing of bigtime goalie FA Coca Cola, Blake Campbell is here to talk to us. We've seen a lot of change in the organization and I'm extremely happy with the direction that we've gone. We went from barely having a team and one quiet LR, to an enjoyable LR and a club that will be able to contend fairly confidently. We're not done yet either as there's a couple more pieces I'm after, however, Cola was a significant piece that I was after and I'm so glad we got him. Right now we got 2 goalies in our system, both active. One is young and one guy is ready to lead us. We're going to evaluate the situation and talk to our young guy and see where things head from there. 209
