Da Trifecta

Care to explain what a time zone is because only EST matters.

@gorlabCan't even do the 3rd round? Maybe you're the bust.

We all know that we love winning and honestly being on the other side well just plain sucks. I don't think there is anyone out there who enjoys the feeling of losing. Quite frankly I have been slipping and things are just not going right. We all know that the sim engine tends to hate on people and I am on the end that has been receiving that. It's not a great feeling and I would not wish it upon anyone so I feel I need to step my game up and get back out there. I'm not working too hard because it won't pay off how I want it to but I will give almost my all. I just have to make sure I show up on game nights and I can't look like I am not really trying. If the opposition sees that I am not trying like I should be, I'd be taken advantage of.

1) So currently we have a 2-6-2 record. Which as you can tell, is kind of a yikes. What can we do to improve our record?

 

2) We've had a couple of close games against Houston as of late. Which if you don't know, is still currently undefeated. What does that say about our work ethic as a team?

 

3) Do you think other teams underestimate us?

 

4) What's something you do in order to help you relax?

 

5) Coffee or tea?

 

6) Have you been to any concerts? If not, which band/artist's concert would you like to attend if given the chance to?

3. Indeed

4. Sleep

5. Tea

6. MGK for sure

1) The VHLM draft is done and over with! Vegas, of course, had a limited amount of picks. How well did we do?

 

2) So as we're heading towards the new season, how excited are you to play for Vegas?

 

3) Are we going to compete this season? Or is Vegas going to be a basement team?

 

4) What's your favorite genre of music? Do you have a favorite artist?

 

5) What other teams do you think will be top competitors this season?

 

6) So I'm heading into my 3rd season as an AGM. Does that qualify me as old for VHLM AGM standards?

1. Really well

2. I am very excited to play

3. We are going to the top

4. Hip Hop mainly and artist would currently be Tom MacDonald

5. I haven't paid attention

6. No it does not

Ever miss TPE and feel like it was the end of the world? I've been there and I am quite peeved about it. Frankly I get complacent when I miss TPE and I think it's ok to just miss TPE. Then I get it in my mind and I start missing TPE consistently and then I end up going inactive. It's been awhile since I had a player last more than 2-3 seasons and it sucks. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to making my players and frankly I feel if I can't get a player going right, I move on. This time around I may just stick around despite missing six capped TPE. I did get quite pissed about it and I raised some hell in the discord as well and it was fun. I will bite my losses and make the most out of what I have and I will try to go a full career.

Another donut

Still looking at a donut

Still confused how this works @rjfryman. I've got max capped each week since creating. Shouldn't I have 12 average per?

4. Sure do and Tom MacDonald is at the top

5. Baseball

6. Luckily I haven't had any

@DilIt's still crazy to think that you were fired from your position. I remember my first interactions with you. You were eager to help by staying down for the team and taking a year off your first player's career. I showed you some of the ins and outs and allowed you to do somethings but it was enough to get your foot in the door. I didn't give you the chance to be a GM at the time and I feel to this day it was justified. You went on to be an AGM elsewhere and you learned more from them. Eventually you found your calling and was hired as a GM. I wasn't around for much of your GMing career or just didn't pay attention but I heard some rumblings. It's still a bitter sweet thing to see but bigger and better things will eventually happen and at least you made a better player this time around.

This off-season has gone on long enough. It's the slowest part of the season and it's extremely boring. I didn't get selected to any of the world cup teams and it kind of was a bummer. I have been focusing on my game to try and get better in hopes that I can prove my worth. Right now my best option is just to keep working and wait until the draft. Things should get a lot better once a team selects me and I can show off my improved game. Last season I didn't really get to shine as I was buried on the depth chart but things should change. I am aiming for the sky and hoping that I can start off on a second line and work my way up potentially to the first line and if not on that team, maybe they can trade me so I can be a first line elsewhere.

King was one of my favourite players I created, not only because of the success but because it literally was at a time when I was going to war with some. Those days are behind me! Back to created above average players

It was fun going against you for sure man.

3. Miami will probably be rebuilding next season. Does that bother you at all?

4. What are you planning on improving this offseason?

 

5. What are you going to miss about 2020?

6. What are you hoping for 2021?

3. I might not be here

4. Everything

5. Nothing

6. For covid to go away

So the season ended in a rather bad fashion for myself. We ended up losing to the Marlins and it was a pretty bad feeling. I can't say that I am a fan of losing but I guess if I would have put forth more effort into my game, we could have did more. I feel like I just didn't perform to the expectations that I held for myself. Having a last name that resonates in the history books means that you have to give it your all. You can't take the easy way out and you have to live up to the high standards that are set. Of course you set pretty high standards for yourself but all of that means nothing if you don't perform. So I am going to challenge myself to become a star in the minors next season and hopefully blow the talent scouts away. I have to prove to the scouts that will be looking at how I play next season so I can get drafted to a good team.
