  1. Loki Baker DMD has had a decent stretch of games through 26 games in the season for the Miami Marauders. In the 26 games, Loki Baker has scored 11 goals and 12 assists for a total of 23 points over his AMG of 30. He has shot the puck 107 times, so he is always wanting to be shooting with the +8. We caught up with Loki who had this to say:
  2. Loki Baker, DMD, was selected 25th overall by the Miami Marauders in Sunday's draft. Is that a surprise? Well, it was to some because no one really knew where Loki would end up. He was not scouted by many teams, so no idea where he would go. We did catch up with Loki, who had this to say: Let's see what happens, but the career starts in Miami!
  3. With the newest members declaring themselves eligible for the draft, yet another member, Loki Baker DMD has made himself available and his intentions known that he wants to be in the VHL. Coming from the Poptart agency who has represented players such as Finn Davison and Micah Adrienne, Loki Baker DMD will be someone that is a lot different. What can you expect from Baker? Well, there is a lot of question marks around him. What kind of player will he be? How reliable is this guy? Coming off a brutal ACL injury in juniors, there are a lot of question marks around this guy. Anyone that takes a chance on him will either be very happy or very disappointed. There seems to be a lot of hype around Baker, but will it actually live up to the hype? Either way, we have another member joining the fold and jumping into the VHL soon. Where will he end up before that? There's a lot to be worked out. Either way, he's here.
  4. Yeah, pretty much the same. Can't complain too much, not that anyone would listen

  6. News out of Vancouver is that defenseman Micah Adrienne has been traded to the Toronto Legion. It all came after an apparent fall out with the General Manager. We did catch up to Adrienne about it.
  7. I don't need your 'I guess'. I already had told Fonzi about posting an article about my experience. We already chatted about it and he knew it was coming. As I mentioned, literally in the first line, that this has nothing to do with Fonzi. I mentioned it a couple times in the article as well. This is purely about my experience. You are entitled to say how it reads and if I'm coming off as entitled, again, you are entitled to that opinion. If your mentioning "it was not yours to lose" is from the templated interview questions, I find that quite interesting. I'd hope to see more interactions during an interview process than just the interviewee talking at someone. I've never really interacted with any of the blues to know much about me nor anyone else who may be interested in a position. Maybe that's my fault, sure it could be, but I still think that the process just was frustrating. You can call me a whiny bitch or entitled and chalk it to that and keep everything the same or you could take feedback and try to improve the process so maybe someone won't feel this way next time. No hard feelings towards anyone that made the decision, but it still does not take away from my feelings on the situation.
  8. I did not mention anything about a promise. I am also entitled to my own opinion about the hiring process. I appreciate you clarifying, but I am just voicing my opinion from my side on the hiring process. I think this article was pretty blunt that if I thought there was anything nefarious in the hiring, I would have said it which, again, I did not.
  9. First, I would like to preface this article that Fonzi is a great candidate and will do Vancouver justice. He is a great member of the team, so I wish him luck. -------------------------------------------- Dear Diary... I am absolutely frustrated. Imagine spending many hours doing scouting, looking at trades, preparing the team because you are an Interim GM only to have the rug ripped out from under you. I had no intention of being a GM in this league in the VHL, that is why I didn't even post in the thread about that. However, Vancouver meant a lot to me. @Beaviss gave a shot to Finn Davison, and then went and picked me higher than I probably should have gone. I love that team - they were close to me. So, I went for it. I spent so much time planning what the future would hold, talking trades, even looking at extensions and talking about those to find out I didn't get the position. Why bother? Why did I bother applying? It was pretty clear that the Blues had their ideal candidate in mind, and it was not me. For whatever reason, and that's fine. Why allow me to make trades? Why allow me to do anything if you knew it was not going to be me. At the point that I am so upset about something that it impacts my IRL because that's how much I wanted this. I had a plan, I was ready to go with it, but I don't even get a message back from the blues. I get a measly 10 questions in my forum DM to answer. That was the interview. I've never really interacted much with the blues here before, so who knows what I could bring? I feel that I wasted my time. I was even told by multiple people that typically AGMs have a good shot at getting the job (which they should). I knew what Beavs was thinking. I knew what the plan was. Frustrating. I wasted my time doing scouting, drafting, getting the entire plan, it has nothing more than a feel of disappointment and that I wasted my time. Fonzi did offer me the AGM job again, but I did turn it down. The only reason I took the AGM job was to help the team, to learn everything I could to be a GM of this team. When the opportunity presented itself, I wasn't even in the running. They knew they wanted fonzi (again, great candidate, not upset about the choice). I wish I knew before. I wouldn't have made trades or even tried to plan it out when it would have not been my choice. I wouldn't even have applied. I don't see me applying for another position, I don't see myself applying for any GM job, because why would it matter? They already have who they want on a shortlist anyway and if I can't get it when I am the current AGM and acting GM, why would I even apply again? What does the future hold for me? That's a good question, I do not have the answer to. Will I keep updating here knowing I will always be disappointed? I wish I could tell you that answer. I give 100% to what I do, and if I cannot give 100%, what the hell is the point? I'll always be upset, disappointed, and frustrated, so maybe it is best I just move on. I am probably on the block currently for this reason, which I don't blame fonzi. At worst case, I am a 855 TPE defenseman that can help your team. I don't know what the plan is for my player. Thank you for reading. I spent some time thinking about what to write. I don't even care how many words this is because I doubt I will claim anyway. I don't care if you see me as a complainer or whiny bitch. You can think what you want. I needed to get this out for my experience as this meant a lot to me. I appreciate you reading.
