    Dil got a reaction from jacobcarson877 in Double Standards in VHL?   
    I once had a .com rejected because I wrote it about how .com’s were judged too harshly, because it lacked effort and wasn’t relevant to the topic… despite being about the .com’s themselves and referencing sources and being well above the word count
     
    Just give up it’s not worth the effort

    Dil reacted to JCarson in I don't expect anyone to read this but this is my life right now.   
    I don’t expect anyone to read this but with what I am going through right now it needs to be said. 
     
    If you don’t know I am a Financial Planner by trade, I hold my Certified Financial Planner designation along with several other credentials. One of those credentials is my Life Insurance License. No, I am not here to sell anything and won’t answer questions related to investment selection and trying to get rich quickly. 
    What I would like to make note of is our society's aversion to insurance to the point it causes great harm. Right now, I am dealing with a widow, she is distraught over losing her husband. And she should be.  
     
    She is also living with an immense amount of guilt. She asked her husband to go to the grocery store. She sent him on the errand that took him to the point in time where a drunk driver didn’t stop at a four way stop, instead blew through the intersection at over 100km (about 62.14 mi)/h into the side of her husband’s car killing him instantly.  
    He left her with a mortgage, some other minor debt, 2 children under the age of 18, and the cost of his funeral. Add on to this he was the largest income earner in the family. In fact, he earned 60% of the family income. Seems tragic to most of us.  
     
    I am going to get a little more detailed, the woman I am talking about hasn’t clued in to the fact that she is now facing a financial crisis on top of her emotional crisis. It is still too new to her; she is still too caught in her grief and guilt to understand what she will be dealing with. The woman is 31, her children are 2 and 5, the mortgage for the house they bought 5 years ago still has a mortgage of $450000. Her income alone will not cover her basic lifestyle let alone the added costs of the funeral. She is in a financial crisis. 
    When her and her husband bought the house, I talked to them about ensuring that they had a risk management plan, putting insurance in place to deal with the issue of what happens if one of them dies, I talked to them again when each of their children were born, as they had now brought another life into the world and should consider how that child will be cared for if something happens to one or both of them. 
     
    All three times I spoke with them she was willing to investigate options, to look at the costs and to see if they could afford it. Unfortunately, he in all three instances looked at me then looked at his wife and said the exact same thing all three times “The chances of anything happening to us are extremely small, I won’t pay hard earned money to an insurance company and get nothing out of it.” 
     
    The reality is he is both correct and incorrect all at the same time. The chances of an individual in their late 20’s to early 30’s dying at least in North America is extremely small, most of those individuals who buy insurance meeting that criteria get no financial payout. Where I argue is they do get something, and that is piece of mind and risk protection if the extreme happens. In his instance the extreme did happen. For less than $20 a month (assuming a Term 10 policy in Ontario) he was not willing to consider how his family would be impacted if the unexpected were to occur. In his instance the unexpected did occur. 
     
    So, I will get to my point. If you are an individual who has anyone dependent on you or if you have debt (mortgage, credit cards, etc.). If by you dying someone will be left with not only an emotional crisis but a financial crisis, I urge you to contact someone in your area and discuss how you can put together a plan that reduces or eliminates that burden. If you say that you love these people you will not leave them to face what is coming for this woman. 
     
    My secondary note. If you are the type of asshole who decides to have a few drinks and get behind the wheel of a vehicle, please rethink your life. You do not get the right to impact someone else to this level. No excuses, just stop doing it.

    Dil got a reaction from Scurvy in Boss   
    After Season 91 concluded it's evident that Hugo Boss, rookie tender for the the Las Vegas Aces played pivotal a role in the teams success. He had a year showcasing dedication and skills. Upon examining his statistics it becomes apparent how much he contributed to the Aces performance.
     
    Boss participated in a total of 72 games – an indication of his indispensability to the team as their top goalie. He acted as a wall in front of the goal providing a boost to the entire team. Having such a reliable and steadfast goalie is invaluable for any M team. Boss embodied that ideal.
     
    With Boss guarding their net the team secured a tally of 47 victories. This achievement is a testament to his ability to maintain composure and make clutch stops under pressure. His track record speaks volumes – with 17 losses during play and 8 losses in overtime. Such competitiveness at a boss level is truly commendable.
     
    Now some may scrutinize his save percentage of 0.896. Argue that it should be higher. However consider this – throughout the season he faced over 1550 shots on goal. To maintain save numbers despite such relentless attacks? That's nothing less than remarkable...
     
    Furthermore lets not overlook his goals against average (GAA) of 2.21. For a rookie keeper playing a starter job, I think that's a great statline and something he should be proud of. The VHLM wasn't a walk in the park this season, and Boss held his headu p high.
     
    We also need to acknowledge his 8 shutouts. Shutouts are incredibly challenging – you have to be in sync with your defense and Boss had that down pat. It shows that he has the skill capabilities required.Sure he allowed 161 goals but considering the number of shots he faced it's actually quite remarkable.. Not to mention, the guy spent over 4366 minutes on the ice. That's an extraordinary amount of time for a rookie. This proves just how much the Aces management relied upon his skills this season.
     
    Now, take all of that into account and remember that's hes just a rookie. An underdeveloped one at that. He came into the league, not even expecting a starter gig. He hoped to develop and hone his skills behind a more experienced and skillfund netminder. In Vegas, he was chucked right on the front lines and forced to take up a starter job that no one thought he was ready for, not even himself.
     
    It's true, he had a very slow start. Keeping that in mind, he has shown tremendous growth and potential. He is confident, but not cocky. He knows where he's headed and what he needs to do to get there. His eyes currently set on the draft and making it to the VHLE and showing that he has what it takes. He's truly an inspiration and a reminder that with dedication and hard work, you can become anything you set your mind to (maybe not a VHL starter in his case, but inspiring nonetheless..)

    Boss has a long journey ahead of him. He may not be a top tier talent, but he has shown to be a resilient and talented keeper. Keep an eye out for Hugo Boss, because he's just getting started.
