Winners of their last 4 games, Vancouver is finding their groove after a slow start. The Wolves have been howling of late with 4 impressive wins including 2 shutouts, as management may have found the right recipe for success. It was a slow start as they lost some close ones early on and were winless in their first 6 games only earning 2 points through overtime. Then some line changes spurred on a nice little run and they've picked up 8 points in the last 4 games. Man child Logan Ninefingers is obliterating the scoresheet this season with 9 goals and 16 points in 10 games. Personally, I'm just in awe of how good this guy already is in just his 2nd season. I'm also in awe of how someone as ugly as him can pull any ass at all, but somehow he does pretty well for himself, usually it's my leftovers but at least he's getting some action, which is more than I can say for Rip Wheeler. Back to the Wolves now, a lot of players are beginning to heat up, guys like Left Alone, The Frenchman, Mark Calaway are starting to produce at their normal levels and Riley Martin, , Liv Slater, Owen Lazaro and even Rip Wheeler are putting the puck in the net lately. Gavilrovs is abusing opponents as usual but needs to produce more offensively as the season rolls on. Wolves rookie Annie Oaks is playing hard out there and picked up her first assist in the VHL the other day which was exciting, I'm sure she will light the lamp soon also! We expect Vancouver to settle in here and start piling up the wins in the next 10-20 games.

1. I wouldn’t be a big fan of purchasing extra seasons, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some options where you can upgrade specific attributes at a discounted rate. 
 

2. I think Edmonton or Montreal would be good options for NA.  For EU, I would lean to Berlin myself. 
 

3. Not even close unfortunately.  I need an extra 2-3 a night on average probably.

1. How has the season started for your player?

 

2. Are there any other leagues that you partake in or have been apart of in the past? If so, are there anything those leagues did that you would like to see in the VHL?

 

3. Who do you have in the Stanley Cup? Edmonton or Florida?

1. Pretty good in terms of D and physicality but not much offense yet! 

2. Nothing similar to vhl but I used to do an online league where you pick NHL players from any era, set lines, etc and it simulates a season against other users in small leagues. It was all about shooting % 

3. As much as I would like to see Edmonton win, I think Florida takes it with their team defense and physical play. 

Questions: 

1. What as your biggest surprise of the NHL playoffs so far? 

2. How is your VHL/E/M team doing so far and you player? 

3. What team or player is your biggest rival right now in your respective league?

Great leadership group! Lets GO!

Glad the season started, Gavilrovs was getting a bit short tempered not being allowed to check anyone through the boards in practice, although he did check Rip Wheeler into the bench his first day in Vancouver.

Vancouver Wolves hulking rookie defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs was named to the VHL All-Rookie Team this week! He joins lothario teammate Logan Ninefingers and recent former teammate Vlad Von Carstein who were both given the All-Rookie honor as well! An exceptional showing for the Wolves rookies in season 93 and we're sure Riley Martin was in consideration as well. Goes to show how great Vancouver GM's did in the S92 draft and what a bright future this organization has, even with recent moves to more of a win now line up they did not sacrifice the future. Let's focus on Gavilrovs for a second though, it's nice to see a player with his type of game get recognized. He was dominant as a rookie with hits (253) and blocks (164) and contributed well offensively with 35 points, including 7 goals. Coming off a season in the VHLE that saw him win defenseman of the year, it's a great sign to follow this up with an All-Rookie team nomination, especially with only 2 defenseman being named. Sky is the limit for this bruising beauty and we expect big things in the coming seasons from Gavilrovs, as well as Ninefingers, Martin and even Carstein wherever he is playing.

Draft, Off-season Tournaments & Controversy!!

 

Wow, The VHL draft and the lesser VHLE draft took place almost a full week ago and this lazy off-season AGM has finally decided to ask you for some of your thoughts around the draft. WJC is also kicking off with a few prospects taking part, ProAM is wrapping up or wrapped and the JST was …… We continue to wait for the season but that should start next week; maybe? Answer three questions for one TPE or all six questions for two TPE. As always have fun!!

 

1.     Did you actively take part in watching this season VHL draft? And what did you think about the two players that Vancouver selected?

 

2.     Broadcaster mentioned Goaltending controversy likely coming to the Vancouver Wolves due to our second pick of Soju; Do think this will be the situations? Why or Why not?

 

3.     Broadcaster also mentioned this AGM being disappointed or should be put out when his player was selected 3rd overall since he bleeds black & grey of the Wolves? Do you think this is situation that this AGM is disappointed and should managers be disappointed when they are drafted to a different team than the team that they are managing?

 

4.     Did anyone actively take part in the ProAM tournament or even know it was happening? What is a better way to make this tournament more engaging?

 

5.     JST is another interesting tournament that took place as it does most off-season and while I feel like it is a good idea to have a tournament to keep interest in new members higher, It feels like it is starting to fall flat. How would try to bring interest back into the JST tournament and what would you change?

 

6.     WJC championship should have kicked off by now so are you actively following the tournament or any of the prospects in the tournament? Which team in any or which prospect if any?

 

7.     Bonus: Since I am being lazy this week, tell me what would be a great article for the VSN to cover during the off-season Or an article that might be interesting topic to cover in the future? Why?

 

 

Come on Regular season....

1. I wouldn't even know where to watch the draft but I absolutely love the two players we selected! Bollos and Frank's one name goalie are both going to be superstars in the future. We killed it as usual!

2. No not at all, we have a great goalie right now as we try and win the cup then down the road Soju can take over. Should work out well. 

3. Yes I think you should be disappointed but there's nothing you can do because you are too good and rightfully went early. That said I expect you will come here in free agency the first chance you get so should work out well for everyone except the team that drafted you. 

4. I have no idea what that even is, never heard of it, but let me know if Guntis was involved in it plz! lol

5. Again, no idea what this is never heard of it. What I would change is making sure people like me know about it. 

6. This is a tourney I know about because I was in it! No I don't follow it anymore tho, but hope our prospects do well if they are in it. 

7. You do a great job with VSN articles so follow your gut, but maybe top 10 power forwards in the league right now. 

Congrats everyone!

Honored to be part of the All-Rookie Team! 

What a bunch of beauties!

Trades, Changes and drama?

 

Okay, let me start off with the fact that I am typing this is a car with Mt. Fuji to my left and Castle to my right; which is one of the most unique places that I have done anything for the VHL. More on this later maybe but please excuses any of this writing that doesn`t make sense or spelling but that isn`t down to location I am just horrible!! Huge trades around the league with Vancouver Wolves heart and center as usually. Yes, we haven`t traded the captain yet!! But as players come in; it means likely players out. First overall pick switched hands around the drama of an UFA player and more in this week’s press conference… Answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!

 

1.     Where is the weird place you did anything for the VHL to earn the TPE of the week?

 

2.     The Undertake has joined us from D.C. Dragons in Mark Calaway @Beketov; Do you watch wrestling and what do you think of this trade for the Wolves?

 

3.     Owen Lazaro @traphag joins the team from Helsinki Titans in a trade that I was pushing for so what do you think of the trade and the fact that it was a three-way trade?

 

4.     Last player added but I think can have a huge impact on the season was The Frenchman @OrbitingDeath also from D.C. Dragons; so once again what do you think of the overall trade?

 

5.     With all the trading we also said good bye to  Vlad Von Carstein @Dom, DB IV @wcats and Mikko Borisyuk @Minebro; Who are we going to miss the most and why?

 

6.     Have you been following any of the drama around Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard, the conditional pick from last season between Helsinki Titans and Moscow Menace that led to Grimgor Ironhide being traded to Davos for the 1st overall? Explain to me what you think has happened?

 

Are we contenders? I think we are!!

Let hurry up and get the season started!!

@okochastar@Frank@Gaikoku-hito@Scurvy@Minebro@Smarch@GoalPlays@Sullvino@Subject056@Dom@wcats@Girts@KaleebtheMighty@Trepagoat@Demko@Noodle Enjoyer

1. Probably in the car while driving, which seems dangerous but I'm still alive. 

2. Always been a big fan of the undertaker. Excited to bring in Calaway he's a superstar and huge addition. Great move. 

3. Lazaro is an incredible player, I'm excited to have him on the Wolves now, I forgot mention him in my article because you guys made so many moves I can barely keep track! 

4. Frenchman is a great player and a player we needed on offense, excellent move. 

5. I will miss all those guys, I became brothers with them and was looking fwd to winning with them but the business of hockey is tough, we made the team better in the present and still have a future core, so that's how it goes sometimes, wish them all the best! 

6. I have no idea what your talking about, but Grimgor Ironhide is a pretty bad ass name so I'd probably side with him based on that alone.  

That's right, Vancouver has won another off-season with fantastic trades and draft picks. Every year this team is exciting to be a part of as GM Frank and Assistant GM Gaiko continue to build this team into a contender in the present and future. It started with some huge trades bringing in this guy Mark Calaway who is always tagging me on the forums, it will be nice to finally play on a team with him. On the ice he's a superstar and I can learn a lot from the type of game he plays out there. Another gigantic trade was bringing in The Frenchman, he's also a star and while I don't have a lot of experience speaking French I know some swear words I will use on him in the locker room. I think we also just traded for Rip Wheeler who I was holding a major grudge against for beating up my boy Logan Ninefingers last season, so he'll have to earn my respect but I plan on testing him in practice with some heavy checks so we'll see how that goes. No doubt Rip is a talented player though who can bring a lot to our offense.  We probably even did more awesome things I don't know about but those standout for now. The draft we killed it again picking up all world defenseman Bollos de Trueno who I can't wait to form a pairing with, guys got it all. Then of course we picked up Frank's goalie Soju, who is so good he doesn't even need a first name. Jesus Christ this team is loaded and fun to be a part of. Can't wait to see what kind of noise we can make this season before we go on to probably win 5 cups in a row with the talented young core Vancouver Management has built.

Share one of those girlfriends with your 9 fingered buddy!!!

I got you! Will inform Megan Fox you're coming over every Sunday and every other Wednesday this season. She's been extra needy lately so you'll be doing me a favor! 

Welcome to Vancouver! 

The Vancouver Wolves recently locked up three of their S92 first round picks to long term extensions! These young superstars are all coming off strong rookie seasons and management identified they are a core group to build around. Vancouver signed long-time dynamic duo Logan Ninefingers and Guntis Gavilrovs to identical 5 year contracts locking them up through season 99! The Wolves also inked budding superstar Riley Martin to a 3 year extension through season 97 and maybe even signed some others I'm not yet aware about! Management is doing a great job ensuring the Wolves have the high end future stars they need to push for a championship in the coming seasons. There's no question Ninefingers, Martin and Gavilrovs have the skills to lead Vancouver to their next cup and the players couldn't be more excited about it. Guntis Gavilrovs just bought a home on Vancouver Island and at first GM @Frank was nervous that Guntis might be late for games and practices having to take the ferry over, but felt better when Guntis told him he had 3 girlfriends in downtown Vancouver and could stay at their apartments when needed. If the number of girlfriends Gavilrovs is currently juggling is any indication, we are in for a fun season in Vancouver next year!
