Welcome to the league @DUKEOFNY63! Since the league is in the playoffs, you can't sign with any teams right now, but the minor league draft is two to three weeks away. Message me or any others if you have questions!

you didn't use the halifax logo. I don't have a problem, the logo is horrendous.

Nah I think Malmo is going all the way

Overall I like the way we do the all star games. HOWEVER, their is an issue with GMs selecting a player. This is a problem because GMs pick people that don't belong in the all star game, instead of players that had all star worthy seasons. Here are some examples: Davos selects John Madden. He had 64 points, a solid year. But Dahlberg, Dragomir, Peace, Crimson and Harding all had more points. Helsinki selects Jesse Wilson. 74 points for a defenseman is a good season, but Dan Montgomery had 91 points. Borwinn had 114 points. Thompson had 101 points. Sidney Crosby had 77. Not to mention Pepper, with a .921 save percentage and a 2.45 GAA. Seattle selects goalie Clayton Park. Shawniganen, Mars and Gate all had 90+ points. Park did not have an all star worthy season by any stretch of the imagination. Vancouver selects Rauno Palo. Palo had a great year, so not much to complain about, although Louth had 90 points and Davis had 104 points. And now, easily the most horrific selection: Riga selects HHH. To make matters worse, the decision was a coin flip between HHH and Anthony Matthews. Matthews had 17 points, HHH had 50. Preencarnacion had 97 points, Cast had 80. Kastelic had 80. Kriketers had an amazing season. HHH should absolutely not be going to the all star game. That is, simply put, embarassing. I don't know if the all star game was set up this way by design, but if not, the issue is obvious. GMs are taking guys that didn't have good seasons and putting them in over better players since they think that those better players will be able to make it to the all star game anyways. Smart strategy, but when you get things like HHH going to the all star game, it gets ridiculous. If this system of voting was made like this on purpose, then ignore this argument. But if not, then there is somewhat of an issue. Preencarnacion was voted in, but Peace failed to make it because HHH was selected to make it. Thats ridiculous

it's so damn ugly

The only way NY wins the series is if Kingfisher stands on his head.

Riga in 7

New York isn't done yet.

I saw this movie too. Honestly some times I think of it but I feel like it doesn't even exist

FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY. My ph recruiting isn't good enough I guess?

I saw the name and thought you may have been recruited from pornhub. Welcome the league @Yaz Dingus! Message me, or any other GM's or commissioners if you have questions. You can't join a team since it's the playoffs, but the minor league draft is just two weeks away, and you can start gaining TPE for that draft!

Ismond Kingfisher looks nervous

Kallis Kriketers is too good right now

Well, it's that time of the year again. The playoffs are upon us, as eight teams will battle it out for the leagues 66th Founders Cup. This matchup is between the S63 Founders Cup Champions, taking on a new expansion team. Lets take a look at how these teams match up to each other: Saskatoon Wild vs Mexico City Kings Season Series: 6-1 Wild Offense The Wild's offensive attack is focused around one man, who happens to be inactive; Rocky LaGarza. With 94 points, he is well ahead of Milan Griffin for the team point lead. His role on the second line is instrumental to the Saskatoon offense, and he is the most important peice to the Wild. His wingers Brian Strong and Nethila Dissanayake are good compliments to LaGarza, even though Dissanayake had a disappointing season. This second line will beat down opponents, but it couldn't do that without a great first line. This lineup features two GM players in Vladimir Pavlov and Lucas Nygren, who put up 52 and 66 points respectively. Those two are put alongside Milan Griffin, an elite playmaker on the wing that finished with 75 points this year. The Saskatoon offense was great, but the Mexico City offense sure wasn't. Despite having Aleksander Rodriguez (90 points), Michael Gary Scott (84 points), and Boris the Forest (66 points), they struggled to score all season. Henrik Zoiderberg also provided meaningful contributions on their second line, but it wasn't enough for the Kings. They scored the second lowest amount of goals out of all the playoff teams, with 182. Every other playoff team besides Minnesota finished with at least 228 goals. Mexico City thrives on their defensive style of play, and offense is not their strongsuit. Saskatoon owned the fourth best powerplay percentage in the league, although it is worth noting that second and fourth highest percentages are only 0.4% apart. The Kings, on the other hand, owned the second worst powerplay in the league, and only 0.5% ahead of the Bulls, who were historically bad this season. It's pretty clear who has the advantage in this category. Advantage: Saskatoon Defense This is where the Kings make up for their shortcomings on offense. They allowed the second least amount of goals, and own of the best defensive pairings in the league with Guillaume Fontenette and Derek England. They both play strong defense while also contributing on offense, with a combined 106 assists between those two. The soul of this Mexico City defense belongs to a lesser known player: Hiromu Takahashi. Even with only 32 points, his 172 hits and 133 blocked shots are way ahead of anyone else on the team, and his willingness to sacrifice his body is what a leader does. The Wild are able to match Takahashi's heart with two guys of their own; Anthony Amberback and Rusty Shackleford. They both had similar point totals, hovering just below sixty, and both will shut down the opposing offense. They have a combined 200 blocked shots, and 352 combined hits. Fylo Gibbles and Kefko Palazzo round out a solid top four for the Wild, a top four that allowed the fourth least amount of goals throughout the regular season. Both teams own elite penalty kills, but Saskatoon's is better, owning the second best penalty kill percentage in the league, while the Kings have the third best. The Kings will need to play some serious shutdown defense to stop the Wild, and they certainly have the ability to. It's close, but I'll take Mexico City on this one. Advantage: Mexico City Goaltending Both teams own goalies that could be in the conversation for goalie of the year. Wrike Chyrnoble, the Kings goaltender, is one of the favorites to win it, while Juan Jaundice, the Wilds goalie, has an outside shot. Chyrnoble finished the year with a .912 save percentage and a 2.24 GAA, accompanied by five shutouts. Juandice had an .893 save percentage and a 2.62 GAA, which are certainly respectable. Lets not forget about Juandice's seven shutouts either, the third most in the league. Both goalies are at the cap for TPE, but I will give the edge to Mexico City. Chyrnoble had a better regular season in almost every category, and as long as he can continue his elite level of play, he can give Mexico City a decent shot to win this series. Advantage: Mexico City This is a similar situation to the Marlins vs 21st series. The higher seeded team is way better on offense, but defensively, the lower seeded team barely has the advantage. The biggest difference is that the advantage on offense isn't as overwhelming, which makes this series a tough one to call. The Kings have the starpower to keep up with the Wild, and on defense they have the advantage. Before I wrote this article, I was prepared to say Saskatoon in Six. Now, I'm not so sure about that. If Rodriguez and Michael Scott can play some great hockey, and Chyrnoble plays great, and the defense for Mexico City continues to play well, I can definitely see Saskatoon in Six.

you guys finished second place Edit: I assume this was an older article since you have only played 71 games

I wrote a VSN article about this series. I don't think it was ever edited though

We let you guys have this one

Well, it's that time of the year again. The playoffs are upon us, as eight teams will battle it out for the leagues 66th Founders Cup. Last year, we saw the Minnesota Storm win it all, but it certainly looks like we will have a new champion this year. Lets take a look at the matchup between the 21st and the Marlins. Halifax 21st vs San Diego Marlins Season series: 5-2 Halifax Offense Lets be honest, Halifax absolutely dominates the Marlins in terms of offense. They scored 58 more goals in the regular season, and they have the best line in hockey, with Gaudette-Nacho-Axelson forming the most dangerous line in the minors. Gaudette and Axelson both finished the year with 105 points, creating the most dangerous pair of wingers the league has seen in quite some time. Nacho is also a big peice to this line, and his 79 points are nothing to look past. Another reason the 21st have an overwhelming offense is because of their extremely dangerous second line, which some could argue is the second best line in the league, only behind their first line. Acyd Burn and Emil Passerelli once again round out another pair of wingers that is frightening to go up against, as they both finished above the PPG mark, and Passerelli passed the 100 point marker. Their center Trevor Van Lagen can score as well, completing the most dangerous top six forward group in the league. Unfortunately for the Marlins, they don't seem to have the depth or the star power to keep up with the high flying 21st offense. The first line of Tannehill-Marleau-Mikhailov is alright, but is no where near the Halifax first line. The second line is where Rhys Chism, the Marlins best forward, can do some damage. He finished with 85 points, despite his wingers Dalton Wilcox and David Clarkson having mediocre seasons. On the powerplay, both teams are very similar, with the 21st holding a one percent advantage, but that is insignificant. The Marlins will need to continue to play the defensive brand of hockey they have been playing all season if they want a chance to win this series. The 21st have an overwhelming advantage with depth and starpower, despite Rhys Chism's strong season for the Marlins Advantage: Halifax Defense If the Marlins want to win the series, this is likely what it comes down too. Throughout the season, they had a better defense than the 21st, and their defensemen produce points as well. Lincoln Tate was in a battle with Hulk Hogan for the points lead early in the season, but they both dropped off towards the end of the year. Tate dished out nearly 70 assists throughout the season, and he will need to take over this series if the Marlins want to win. The Marlins also got contributions from second pairing defenseman Pierre Persson, with almost fifty assists over 100 blocked shots. The Marlins other two defensemen Samuel Sparrow and Dean Clarke also put up good stats, with point totals in the forties. While the Marlins have an impressive top four, the 21st also have a strong defense to back them up. Headlined by newcomers Lance Flowers and Guy LeGrande, they both hovered around PPG for their shortened time in Halifax. Boheem Bismark and Hugh Chan had decent seasons, and they finish up a solid defensive core for Halifax. Both penalty kill's were at basically the same percentage throughout the season, but I would give a slight edge to the Marlins. If Flowers and LeGrande had played an entire season and we could see how successful they would be, rather than just looking at a small sample size, I might give Halifax an edge. But for now, give me the Marlins. Advantage: Marlins Goaltending This was a tough one to decide. The Marlins have Greg Eagles, who just came off of a pretty solid season in net, with a .900 Save Percentage and a 2.61 GAA. For Halifax, they have two goalies with high TPE totals, that split the games through the season. They both had underwhelming stats, although I suspect Michael Johnson will get the start over Thorvald Gunnarsson. One interesting stat is that Greg Eagles had over 100 more shots against him than the two Halifax goalies combined, and yet allowed 22 fewer goals. I'll give the Marlins the edge, but Eagles will have to stand on his head to give the Marlins a chance. Advantage: Marlins Even though the Marlins have the edge in goaltending and defense, it is a small advantage, and they have very little room for error. The 21st are far better than the Marlins, especially on offense. If the first or second line for Halifax gets going, this series could be over quickly. The huge advantage that Halifax has on offense is more than enough to offset the Marlins advantage on the defensive side of things. Unless Lincoln Tate plays out of his mind, or Greg Eagles steals the show, I would be very surprised to see Halifax lose this series.

Damn this is my 700th post. What a way to hit that milestone, by talking about rectums

After spending many months in Shaggy's rectum, a large bowel movement by shaggy forcefully removed Materazo from his rectum. However, Shaggy's rectum was just another rectum floating through space, and can be compared to a black hole. The intense gravitational pull of another rectum grabbed onto Materazo, and he could not escape it. As he fell deep into another rectum, he quickly found out who's rectum it was. It was filled to the brim with photos of girls under 18, and the bigger question is how those photos got inside someones rectum, but that's besides the point. He knew exactly who's rectum he had fallen into.
