Girts Galvins of the Vancouver Wolves has a few predictions for this season. Number one is the Wolves are going to return to the finals behind the amazing play of Brian Payne and Girts Galvins now reunited will once again become an unstoppable force. Number two is Brian Payne is going to score 80+ points for the 19th consecutive season, he should win every award and I predict he will finish his career with another huge season. Number three is Girts Galvins posts 35+ goals for the 5th consecutive season, he's going to leave it all out there in his final run and not hold anything back. Now in a new conference against all new goalies, these sieves aren't gonna know what hit them. Girts could post 50 but let's stick with a reasonable 35 plus. Number four prediction is moving into next season that with all the recreates from the amazing S82 class we are going to have the best draft class in a long time in S92 or whatever the class is going to be for the guys who are retiring at the end of this season. Now I say that having no idea who else was drafted recently nor do I have any idea about the strength of other classes but ours is going to be good. Ok that about covers it, you heard it all here first!

Off Season Continues
but light at the end of the tunnel?
Every season it feels like the off-season get longer and longer; maybe that is due to the fact that I have been really busy with vacations and trips etc… or it could be the bitter way that we lost in the finals in a reverse sweep. School around the corner and so is the season start, one I think majority are excited for and some maybe not so much. Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!
Q: Awards: Brain Payne @Scurvy was nominated for Sterling Labatte Trophy, and Jake Wylde but didn`t win any of the awards. What award do you think he should have won and why?
Q: Awards: Vancouver had a very strong season yet only Brain Payne @Scurvy and Frank @Frank where even nominated for awards. Pick one player and make a case as to why they should have been nominated for an award and which award?
Q: Awards: Frank @Frank won the GM of the year (David Knight) shared with Spartan @Spartan of Moscow. Congratulation to the both of you as it was well deserved but Do you like when they share awards or should they really just select a single winner?
Q: Animals: In light of incident involving our charismatic Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple and beavers. I was wondering if anyone else might have had interesting situations involving wild animals? Please share the story if you have!!
Q: Captains: Voting went up a few moments before I started writing this so make sure to vote for your Captains. Pick one player and make a case as to why they should or maybe shouldn`t be one of our Captains this coming season?
Q: Predictions: The Dustin Funk Trophy is by far the hardest trophy I think to predict so who do you think will be the most improved player on the Vancouver Wolves roster this season? Why?
Soon the season will start and the story of S90 will begin to write itself. Who will be contenders, pretenders and anything else in between. Top scores or flashes in the pants and career moments all await as the season inches closer. Are you ready? Will your team be ready?
Please hurry up and start already as we don`t need the prologue!!
@Frank@Sen@JB123@Girts@dogwoodmaple@STZ@VattghernCZ@Gaikoku-hito@Scurvy@Subject056@CODENAMEJIMMY@Tate@cl4rk
1. Brian Payne has been the best defenseman in the league for many years now, he consistently puts up huge numbers and should win every award. Plain and simple.
2. Hard to say who should have been nominated for an award because I don't know last years team that well but chances are someone did very well and didn't get nominated and they should have.
3. Congrats Frank that's awesome, well deserved! Spartan has been a rival in Moscow since my time in Warsaw so I'm not surprised he swooped in and stole half Frank's award, typical moscow meanies doing meanie things.
4. Girts was chased by a rabid racoon when he was a kid but got inside quickly before it got him.
5. Send me a link where to vote plz! I'd probably vote for Brian Payne because he is the fucking man.
6. Girts has won this award in the past, so I will say myself, Girts will win it, he's in for a huge year in a new city.

Girts Galvins is excited to put on a Vancouver Wolves sweater in his final season and looking forward to a completely new city and experience. He moved into Brian Payne's basement and is currently sleeping on an air mattress while he waits for his down town Vancouver apartment to be painted. Should be ready by the start of the season. In the mean time he's been working out at the excellent Vancouver facilities and getting to know his new teammates. It's a great group of guys and there's a lotof talent on this roster that went to the finals last season. He's been given a locker between FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY Analfist and Oreo McFleury, which was a bit confusing at first because Analfist's smelled a bit poopy but Oreo's area smelled sweet and delicious, the combination of aromas is strange but Girts is getting used to it. He's excited to play his first game in front of Vancouver fans and expects to have a big impact this season, his final in the VHL. Hopefully he can help his new team bring home a championship and make some new lasting memories.
Reading this back I have no idea why it auto corrected Analfist's first name to fisted anally by a circus monkey.. but lol

Off-Season & the Boring parts
When I think of the off-season in the VHL, I think of the boring wait for the season to start and the excitement of playing games again. We lost in the Finals this past season and I won`t lie that hurt as I really wanted to win again, but the manner of how we lost I think stings more. Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!
Q: Can Vancouver Wolves make it back to the Continental Cup finals in S90?
Q: Salary Cap era force team to make tough choices and this off-season has been no different as Vancouver traded away Henry Eagles to Malmo for Goaltender prospect Clark, Hockley Mann, S92 MAL 1st, S90 MAL 3rd and S91 SEA 2nd.
Do you think this was enough in return for Eagles and what do you think Mann will bring to the roster this season?
On 8/7/2023 at 11:01 PM, Gaikoku-hito said:Q: Vancouver also traded for the signing right to Girts Galvins for a conditional S91 VAN 4th round pick. Since Galvins has signed and conditions where meet so Vancouver transferred the conditional S92 VAN 2nd to Warsaw instead.
What do Galvins bring to the Wolves this season?
Q: Playing GM; What do you think Vancouver needs to add to the roster this season to make the team successful?
Q: Do you like conditional trade? Why or Why not?
Q: Riddle: Where is the only place where today comes before yesterday?
@Frank@Sen@JB123@Girts@dogwoodmaple@STZ@VattghernCZ@Gaikoku-hito@Scurvy@Kylrad@Tate@cl4rk
1. Yes I think we can definitely make it back to the finals and with Galvins on the team now we should be able to win the cup.
2. Seems like a solid return but then again I have no idea, but we got a lot back in the trade. Hockley Mann has a great hockey name so I'm guessing he's pretty good.
3. Great question. Galvins brings goal scoring and playoff experience along with tremendous size and a great two-way game. He's a fantastic addition and Vancouver fans will be thrilled with this trade.
4. Hard to say, but I'm sure our GM's will make the best moves to put us in a position to win it all.
5. Conditional trades are good if they work out for you
6. In an alphabetical list of words!

Continental Cup Finals & Season Awards
Here we are back in the finals only two seasons removed from our last dance with Cup. We missed out on chance of repeat with Prague Phantom dropping in five games to HC Davos one of the best team in the regular season. So, What are our chance against Davos? Season Awards are being handed out very soon so do you think you will win any awards and can you predict any of the winners; since some of you claim you can see into the future. Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!
Q: HC Davos and Vancouver in the Finals; Are you at all surprised that these two teams have made the finals?
Q: Who is the favorite heading into the Finals but in the end who is going to win the Continental Cup?
Q: Season Awards are being handed out, who do you think will win the Three Awards trophy this season? Why?
Q: Who was the team’s best defender this season? Why?
Q: Who do you feel was the teams Unsung Hero and why?
Q: Which player is been under played the most this season? Should @Frank play them more?
Well, I just realized that I might not be around to celebrate or share in the emotions of the Continental Cup finals as I am heading on mini vacation this weekend and I am not sure I am going to have access to a computer so Good Luck and Hopefully we lift the Cup again at the end of the play-offs!!
Lets go get them Wolves!!
@Frank@dogwoodmaple@Spartan @Greg_Di@JB123@VattghernCZ@STZ@Scurvy@Gaikoku-hito@Kylrad@Tate
1. I would say I'm not surprised Vancouver made it but maybe a little surprised Davos did, that said they are a real good team so I guess I'm not that surprised.
2. Well it's over now and Davos won but I was thinking Vancouver would take it cuz Brian Payne is a beast.
3. I'd probably say Nico, because other people above said him and I don't really know what's going on.
4. Brian Payne, dude is a stud, played him with in Warsaw for years, always the best D on the ice.
5. Again I will say Brian Payne but I'm sure others would be deserving of this title.
6. Being new to the team I don't know who was underplayed but of course Frank should pay everyone more.

After playing his entire career for the Warsaw Predators, 504 games, Girts Galvins has been traded to the Vancouver Wolves is his final season! A big change for Girts as he moves from the European Conference to the North American Conference. After missing the playoffs in Warsaw the last couple seasons Galvins is excited to join a cup contender who made it to the finals this past season and he's also thrilled to be rejoining his longtime teammate from Warsaw and Bratislava Brian Payne! The two are well known as a dynamic duo synonymous with success and championships so this is a great move for Vancouver.
Galvins finishes up his time in Warsaw with 505 points in 504 games, good for 234 goals and 274 assists, including a goal scoring title in S86 along with a Cup in S84 where he posted 25 points and 11 goals in 20 playoff games. He completes his Warsaw career as 5th all time in goals and 6th in points. Pretty sweet. Last season he had a strong year leading Warsaw in scoring with 37 goals and 74 points. He'll look to continue his goal scoring in Vancouver and hopefully once again be clutch in the playoffs!
Girts would like to thank all his teammates in Warsaw for all the great memories, we had a lot of good runs and strong teams. He will never forget that championships in S84 and would like to thank his two GM's during his time in Warsaw @dlamb and @N0HBDY for all their help. Wishing Warsaw the best in the future!

Sorry it's late this week. Been pretty chaotic.
1 - How do you handle stress?
2 - You walk into a gym: what's the first exercise you do?
3 - Warsaw has been winning more than losing lately, but we're still slipping down the standings. What one thing would you do to try to fix it?
4 - Are video games art?
5 - What's the last book you read? How would you rate it?
6 - Have you played ice hockey in real life? What position?
1. I usually eat.
2 I don't walk into a gym, I walk away from a gym.
3. I would play Sakamoto even more, obviously!
4. Some are yes, others are not. Skyrim is art.
5. I'm not a big reader, can't remember the last book but Hobbit is my favorite.
6. Yes, I played defense in high school. Was kind of a goon.

Looks like it's been a while.
1) How do you think the team stacks up with the off-season additions?
2) Any predictions for where Warsaw finishes in the standings?
3) What's your player's best off-season moment?
4) Did your player stay in Warsaw during the off-season?
5) Sakamoto just arrived this week - any recommendations for restaurants in or around the city?
6) What's your favorite season?
1. I think we made some good additions and despite losing 4 of a our key players to retirement and trades we should be able to compete for the playoffs.
2. I think we will finish in the final playoff spot in the conference.
3. Hmm best off-season moment was probably celebrating the cup after the season we won it here in Warsaw.
4. Yes I'm still here, was some rumblings of a potential trade but I'm happy to continue with the team that drafted me.
5. Yes, Warsaws house of pork has some good menu items, pulled pork is my favorite.
6. Fall because Hockey starts and you have football going and baseball playoffs.

1) Which team do you think has the coolest designed logo in the VHL, VHLM, or VHLE? You can name multiple if you wish.
2) What is your players jersey number and what is the story behind it?
3) Congratulations! The VHLM is letting YOU decide what its next franchise is. What would the team name be and where would the team be located?
1. There's a lot of good ones but I really like the look of the DC Dragons, Malmo Nighthawks, Riga Reign, Warsaw Predators and Helsinki Titan is a classic.
2. #13 because it's Galvins number on the Latvia national team
3. The next VHLM franchise will be the Yellow Knife Yeti's
Questions:
1. Who is your pick for NHL Conn smythe?
2. How many goals Connor Bedard will have as a rookie?
3. What's your favorite part about the VHL?

Vancouver Wolves Press Conference
in Team Press Conferences
Posted
1. Will most likely be Dogwood Maple, he's a beast out there and our top forward. 94 points.
2. Brian Payen is a lock for 60 assists every season so I will say Payne 63 assists.
3. I would have said Girts but he's shooting 0% through the first 10 games so I will once again go with Dogwood. 44 goals.
4. Definitely not Girts! lol. Gotta go with Dogwood here also.
5. Brian Payne can't be contained. He will have 130 pims and 5 fights.
6. Your future.
