Da Trifecta

Toronto made it a great series. I am so proud of my teammates and glad to be a part of this great Davos team. To all the haters, thank you for fueling our success. To our supporters, thank you for sticking with us during that rough patch.

Same time next year sir? Let's do this again!

Devise's prediction only was right in only one way: Thomas Landry showed up. But he instead showed up with everyone else on the squad. All doubted us, but Davos has the final laugh tonight!

Additionally, suck it, Kendrick.

Why are you crying in your sig? Did Victor yell at you?

THIS SERIES. TODAY. TIED AT TWO. WHO'S WITH ME?!

Dear Legion...
 

Lennox Moher Interview       Today I am going to interview the every so mysterious Lennox Moher. Lennox is one of the leagues best goalies and is currently the goalie for the championship HC Davos Dynamo. He has been tasked with one of the jobs in the VHL and that is to play goalie for the Dynamo. The Dynamo are one of the more intriguing teams in the league and it has shown based off the success that they have had during the thirty-sixth season in the VHL. While his agent did go missing for awhile and Lennox didn't get in practice hours for quite a few weeks, he still has managed to get a hold of his job. He did also get to practice a lot more since this team has made it to the finals.   Rep A 1. Being one of the top goalies in the VHL currently, how do you feel about your success and the success of the team that the HC Davos Dynamo has had this season? Were there any ups and downs that you faced or anything that you would love to improve about this season?   LM - I'm really happy with how we have played this past season. It was a pretty smooth season overall despite my sometimes inconsistent play, so I feel great about the work our team has done with a younger goaltender in net. We've had a great start to the playoffs, but obviously have some work left to accomplish. In terms of improvement, I would like to have a more consistent presence in net. There were a few games that I really let us down, but I think that will improve with experience.   Rep B 2. If you had to choose your top three goalies in the VHL, (yourself included), who would you say they are and can you give at least one to two reasons as to why you would be selecting them as high as you have.   LM - I don't think I could justify myself as a top goalie in the VHL right now. The stats aren't there to prove it and neither is the history. I would rank the goalies as follows:   A. Remy LeBeau - He's been unreal for awhile now. He continues to be Toronto's most important player and is a candidate for MVP every season. You don't say that often about goalies. B. Tuomas Tukio - Definite stud. He's had issues with consistency his entire career, but he's undoubtedly one of the most talented goaltender in the league. C. Skylar Rift - Again, another great goalie with a great history of success. He'll be missed next year, and I learned a lot from him while I back him up on Team USA.   Rep C 3. Playing with so much talent that is on the Dynamo, who do you get excited about seeing play each week? Does anyone stick out more than anyone else or who do you think should step up their game some so that this team could make it back to the VHL Finals again next season?   LM - I mean, first and foremost, Odin Tordahl is just unbelievable. Odin is just a powerful forward that reminds of a David Backes type player with the kind of speed and aggression he demonstrates.  The forwards we have from top to bottom are the best in the league. Davey Jones, Thomas Landry, Sergey Brovalenko -- all of those guys are all-stars in my book. I think Matt Bentley and Shane Baker are two key cogs on the defensive side that should keep improving along with me to make it back to the finals next year.   Rep D 4. During the playoffs, who do you think was the toughest match-up that you had to face off? (In terms of which team gave up the biggest fight and had put up the best stats or that you kind of felt that you struggled against).   LM - Toronto is going to be the biggest challenge. I think Helsinki had maybe the most star power with guys like Zhumbayev, Osborne, and Tukio, but Toronto is stout from top to bottom, much like us. Add to the fact that they have the best goaltender in the league and that makes it a tough match up.  I think we're up to it though.   Well there you have it folks. Another great interview down and many more to come. I got the honor of interviewing the man with one of the hardest jobs on the HC Davos Dynamo. Lennox Moher was a great individual and it was fun talking with him and getting to know him. I would like to thank him for his time and contribution and wish him and the rest of the Dynamo a great series against a surprising candidate in the Toronto Legion. Many speculated that the Quebec City Meute would have been the victors of that match, but it was the Legion who willed themselves through. Keep an eye out on this playoff/championship series as it looks to be one of the greater match-ups that this league has seen in awhile.

Go us. I want another sweep by tomorrow.

VHL Magazine - Edition 178

Because you argued about being among the best two-way forwards, in which offense matters?

Unlocked. Feel free to post in here if you want. I probably won't but it wasn't fair for me to lock it. Sorry.

Given that IR gave up GMing Bern to become a VHLM commissioner, I believe it's only fair that he gets a GM position back. Thus, InstantRockstar is the new GM of the Saskatoon Wild.

That was the last post in this thread...thanks for viewing.

I'll throw my name in the hat. I wrote for the VHLM for quite some time, as I had my own segment in the mag each week. 

Both of those are 5.25 and are obviously equal looks wise. Pissed me off

Two forwards in the top ten in league points, while playing in a more defensive system isn't star power? That is news to me. Kellinger is 8th in league scoring.
 
Also Kesler "star power" isn't just about overall sim results. TPE plays a factor as well. That is why players like Clifford and Jones are star power players in the making, not star power players. It is easy to stat pad in this league but it doesn't make you any more or less of a star power player. Loading up on points against a team like Calgary for example doesn't suddenly make you a better player. TPE for example plays a role and both Grigs and Kellinger are at star power levels of TPE similar to how both you and Tordahl are. Your team has 3 players in the top ten scoring we have 2, so it isn't like somehow your "star" stat power is godly compared to ours. 
 
Both teams have equal star power forwards in that they have two. Quebec also has the two Valiqs, and despite Nicklas performance this year he is a star power D. Then there is Rift in net. Arguing that Quebec has more star power than Davos isn't some stretch of the imagination. Jones is likely better than Tomas at this point and you guys have more players on defense, which is why I give Davos the edge in depth. But don't act like it's a stomp. It isn't. Quebec is the exact same roster minus one player that won the Cup last year. 

Well, as long as Jardy complies, we are in for an insane last 4 games. Good or bad I don't know. We have nothing to lose now that Toronto is just ahead.

Also, guys (mainly Jones and Brovy), some smack talk is fine but make sure not to get too involved. People get riled up by Davos quite easily now and will do the fighting amongst themselves. No need to reply. You can say something mildly provocative (though contain yourselves) but it's the people who post last that usually look the fools.

THE HIT LIST
 
Updated!
 
Only four games to go, so let's stat pad! Kidding, let's go undefeated and carry that into the playoffs.
 
 
WE.ARE.DAVOS.

I'd like to thank DT for the good trade talks. He's definitely catching on quickly what it means to be a VHLM GM - and what goes around definitely comes back around. Classy move, won't be forgotten.

Thanks for the deal, happy to be headed to a team with a bunch of actives. Would of taken whatever this year in the VHLM but classy move by Trifecta giving me a shot at a Cup in the minors. Appreciate it sir. 

Pretty obvious why would we did this trade, classy move by Trifecta!

Possibly. I get so over-whelmed with affection from my VHL friends that it's easy to lose track.
