Thanks Dils i didn't catch that typo in my title

What Does Expansion Mean For The League? (Blade's Thoughts) For a site that was in in a state of declining just a little over a year ago it can be said that management had done a lot to make that something of the past. @Beaviss and his recruitment and retention team have done a great job of funneling new members to the minors where active an enthusiastic GMs pick up these new members and teach them the VHLM ropes. From there in a short amount of time these guys enter the big show, or the real deal in most people mind. I think expansion is a great time to look at what we have done well and consider what we can do better. I have some quik suggestions on what we should investigate as the league expands to ensure a quality user experience: 1.) Team based awards: Now I’m not suggesting we get rid of the usual league awards I am just suggesting that GMs recognize players for their hard work and what they contribute to the team. Unfortunately, at this time the VHL and VHLM do not have a system that reward people for being active locker room members or someone that constantly contributes content to the site. These sorts of things are for sure what will help you get a VHL job but other than that recognition for these contributions has been lacking thus far. 2.) Engaging members in team culture. What is the story of the team they are on, who are our rivals and what is each players place on the team. World building is always something that the VHL had great potential for but never quite just got there. There isn’t even a role play section on our discord. I feel like the VHL could defiantly use some hyping up and needs some of the energy of the M injected into it. 3.) More team to team interaction! There isn’t a lot of back and forth on the game pages. And much of what is there are generic copy paste bits for the VHL Lottery. There use to be a time where players would get invested and have fun on these threads and to be honest to some extent it does still happen. I would like to see some back and forth between the GMs. Players having some friendly banter could also be fun, after all as I have been told many time it is a sim league, what sim league doesn’t have a little trash talk.

Tales from The Reapers Crypt 4 Talking about the Expansion of the VHL @uphillmoss and @Patpou22!

Lol I just feel bad for my goalie, because my VHL player was also a goalie. I try to keep my comments to my own team because I know it’s rough to be on a team that gets hammered. Philadelphia was a bottom feeder it’s first season and I would never want to call out a bunch of guys who I'm sure worked their asses off regardless of how the team is doing. That being said. good game hatter

Really good hame for the Reapers but @uphillmoss is getting unlucky because the sim wants to give a goal to the other team but can’t justify the shots. Still a great goalie and honestly you need to look no further than his wjc performances to see that.

Told you brock would heat up

3-1 Moscow

331 New York Americans @ Vancouver Wolves 332 Seattle Bears @ Riga Reign 333 Malmo Nighthawks @ Moscow Menace 334 Calgary Wranglers @ Helsinki Titans

I knew there was a joke in there but I clearly must have just ignored it

No sure you get to take credit for the 0 goals against lol but the offence is certainly on fire!

I mean that is your new team nickname now Cpt.Awesome lol

Thank You For This! @Green thank you for doing this article! I love that your son picked the Pokemon images and sharing the part about Annie the Togakiss was adorable too. I have said it before that you are all a bunch of divas but you know I love you all for it I am glad you gave me a fairy type even though I run a team with a dark persona and i feel like though this you made me the MEGA Diva of Philly! You continue to surprise me and inspire the rest of the team to be creative and have fun, you are a LR MVP

Ah I see you still go and get black out drunk Matt, nice to see things haven't changed so much since you last played for Philly! Remind me to get brick to send you some bottles of moonshine before our next game, if you can't walk you can't play right? lol

Pump it up Beav No such thing as too much D!

Happy to see Calgary Wrangling themselves another win! @DilIsPickle what kind of steroids are you on?

@STZ is already on fire though and I’m pretty sure you’ll heat up soon too! The sim is random but I’m hoping to see you catch fire ? lol

A .950 for Brick nice to see my lazy goalie finally woke the hell up!! GG Boys!!

@Beaviss my waivers last season scored all the game winning goals in the playoffs, wonder if that will continue to be a pattern

Must feel nice to start with a good +\-

I actually have a few ideas should you ever want more ridiculous sigs Glad you are enjoying the benefits of your contract negotiations lol

Brock Louth Is A Rocket! @Beaviss I promised you something worth coming to Philly over. Don't worry you will still get your article honoring the great Louth Dynasty but I thought I would also give you a rare Blade Signature Claimed Aug19th-Aug 25th 2019

Calgary 3-2
