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.

@Thunder

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!

1. Not the Bears then. Anyone but the bears. I love it here. 2. I have no idea wtf this is so I will say Wann Kerr because he's the one guy I know in the finals. 3. Yes Wann Kerr, former teammate on my last player, he's great. 4. Again I have no idea, so let's say one of the teams in the league that awards that cup won it. Geeze you're showing how clueless I am, thanks. 5. The team that is leading will lift the cup in 5 games. 6. I would take one of our GM's players and to decide I would make them play a 7 game series on NHL 24 or whatever most recent game they both have.

Guntis Gavilrovs S93 Rookie Experience In season 93 for the Vancouver Wolves 6'8" 250 pound Latvian rookie defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs broke into the VHL after a huge season in the VHLE for Stockholm that saw him win the Jake Thunder Trophy as Defenseman of the Year. Expectations were high but tempered making the jump into the pros. Guntis knew he had the size to make his mark physically but catching up to the speed and skill of the game would probably be his biggest adjustment. He would join 4 other rookies in Vancouver alongside Logan Ninefingers, Riley Martin, Vlad Von Carstein and DB IV which made his transition a little easier. Seasons Goals: His goals for his rookie season were to carry over his hard-nosed physical play from juniors and contribute some offense while not being too much of a liability on a rebuilding Vancouver team. Of course, Gavilrovs always has his sights set on the playoffs but realistically the Wolves were not a favorite this year. Therefore, his main goal was to continue to develop his all-around game while knocking the living shit out of everyone in the process. How Guntis Adapted to the Pros: Gavilrovs adapted reasonably well to the pro game in terms of physicality and shot blocking but he struggled a bit with the speed of the game and took a lot of penalties. He contributed respectable offense for a rookie defenseman, but his plus minus was atrocious, by far worst on of any defenseman on the team. Even with Vancouver being in kind of a rebuild his -40 is something that he needs to work on going into his sophomore season, along with being more disciplined. Otherwise, he was pretty good and adapted well to the VHL. How Gavilovs Performed: Guntis posted great physical numbers and blocks for his rookie season. His 253 hits and 164 blocks were both #1 on the team. He also had 191 penalty minutes which unceremoniously were also #1 on the team. He played a very mean physical game, always looking for a big hit and had a major edge getting into 5 fights and always sticking up for his teammates. He also posted respectable offensive numbers with 7 goals, 28 assists for 35 points including a handful on the powerplay. Overall, it was a great physical season for the big defenseman with solid contributions across the board. Future Expectations: Heading into his sophomore season Gavilrovs needs to continue his intense physical play and shot blocking while improving his overall defense while he tries to chip in a little more offensively. There's no question that he has the intangibles to become one of the best defenseman in the league, certainly one of the best defensive defenseman and the meanest, which is something he takes a lot of pride in. He just signed a long-term extension with the Vancouver Wolves and will be head hunting opposing players for years to come. Take this as your warning VHL. Guntis Gavilrovs has arrived!

It was a decent season for the rebuilding Vancouver Wolves who ended up narrowly missing the playoffs even after becoming sellers early on in the season. With a record of 28-35-9 they finished with 65 points only 3 points back of the final playoff spot in the North American Conference. Not bad for a team that had 5 rookies and only one real superstar player Liv Slater for most of the season. What the Wolves do have is numerous budding stars on the roster who all turned in strong rookie seasons and make up a great core group to build around. Logan Ninefingers, #1 draft pick in last seasons draft, led the way with 32 goals, 63 points and 242 hits, this guy is a future mvp for Vancouver. Riley Martin wasn't far behind with 29 goals, 55 points and 321 shots, he super skilled and will form a dangerous tandem offensively for years to come with Logan. Behemoth bruising defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs is going to make everyone hate playing against Vancouver with his 253 hits, 191 pims and 164 blocks to go along with 35 points, this beauty plays a mean game. Fellow rookie dman Vlad Von Carstein flashed his offense in a big way with 45 points and showed a strong two way game with 153 blocks as well, this guy can do it all. Young goaltender Dalkr Vidarsson held the Wolves in many games this season and turned in good numbers with a .913 SV% and 25 Wins, defnitely the goalie of the future for Vancouver! Many other Wolves players contributed good seasons as well, this is just a snippet of the young core that should lead the way for years to come. Like a wolf on a fresh kill, Management is salivating over these guys potential.

@der meister

Congrats to everyone on the awards! Honored to have won mine, thanks! Next year we win the Cup!

1. Liv Slater, put up another huge year in all categories and was our best player. 2. Would have to say our goalie Vidarsson, faced a ton of rubber, kept us in a lot of games and didn't always get the most help in front of him. 3. Logan Ninefingers would be my pick, got hot and ended with a lot of points and tons of hits. Absolute beast. 4. Assuming this is players with the most appearances in the 3 stars, I would say Slater, Ninefingers and Martin. 5. MVP for sure and top dman, then probably some others as well 6. We need our young D to continue to improve in the defensive zone and maybe add a couple high end forwards, then stick with it for longer before becoming sellers.

1. First off it's a Canadian rivalry so we are cheering against them, secondly the worse they do the higher we pick so I hope they get swept. 2. Philadelphia Flyers cuz they shit the bed the last couple weeks of the season. 3. No I could care less now, actually I guess I am interested to see Calgary lose. Oh and Moscow also. 4. Whoever has more tpe or the position we need more, you both better end up in Vancouver so make it happen! 5. I will never forgive you for putting that image in my head. Would look real bad and No. 6. An elevator.

Guntis Gavilrovs here again to talk about Guntis Gavilrovs! As we approach the end of the season, 5 games left, the big rookie defender for Vancouver is on track to hit all his personal goals for the season despite a slightly down year for Vancouver in the standings. Coming into the season as primarily a physical defenseman Guntis had set some goals he wanted to reach that would prove to himself he was becoming the type of VHL player he wanted to be. These goals were 250 hits, 150 blocks and 30 points. He's already reached two of these goals and is on track to hit the third in the remaining games, although I'm sure I just jinxed it now.. Gavilrovs currently has 33 points, 240 hits and 159 blocks, so all he needs is to average 2 hits a game in the last 5 games and he should reach all his goals. He's proven he can hold his own in the VHL and while there's room for improvement in some areas (-39 rating and 176 pims) his performance in the physical categories and his ability to block a lot of shots along with posting 30+ points as a rookie Dman has to have Vancouver fans, teammates and management excited about his future. He surely is.

1. I don't think much of it because usually the Moscow Meanies make bad moves so it's probably a better move for whoever they traded with. 2. Fuukka Rask is a great name so that's cool but he was traded from his home country team I'm assuming so he's probably not overly thrilled about it but I have no idea. 3. Yes absolutely we can because we rule and are the best, we will make the playoffs because we are the goddamn Wolves. 4. I think it's been pretty fun, lot of young guys playing good minutes and getting experience, we're not that bad either and are in the mix for playoffs. 5. No I did not watch any of it, this guy is always tagging me on stuff but I don't know him so I didn't tune in. Also I think zoo tycoon is for old people who can't use computers well. 6. I am looking forward to getting outside more and going hiking with the nicer weather, but bugs suck so it's always a trade off.

Rip Wheeler's attempt at fighting reminded me of that time Alex Semin tried to fight in the NHL.

Guntis Gavilrovs has put together a pretty solid season on the blue line for the Vancouver Wolves this year as the rookie continues to develop his two-way game. With a team leading 168 hits and 120 blocks he's showing he can be a physical and defensive force out there but with 136 penalty minutes he needs to be more disciplined. The team needs Guntis on the ice not in the box, so the big Latvian will have to find a way to keep a cooler head out there while still playing with an edge. Gavilrovs' offense is coming along as expected and with 5 goals and 18 assists from the blue line he can't complain. That's something he plans to work on in the off-season. An area that could use improvement right now would be his plus/minus because it's definitely not great at -28 but on a rebuilding team we're not going to get too upset about it for now. He's been great in other areas so it's more something to keep an eye on as the team improves. Gavilrovs has definitely shown he can become a force in the league and with continued development he should no doubt become a star for Vancouver in the coming seasons. Lots of great future stars in Vancouver, it's the place to be!
