Where are the rivalries at? Dick Rash is always down to throw the haymakers with a dancing partner. NHL is too soft these days. VHLM needs to take it back to the roots. I'm talking Broad Street Bullies, bench clearing brawls, running the goalie from the blueline type of league. Give the fans what they want. I'm sick of seeing Mr. Softee get a pass into the zone 1-on-2. D needs to step up and deliver the dynamite. We've set the tone in Halifax and I've got all your numbers...and your baby momma's numbers (don't worry, I ain't got time to be cuffed up).
Bring it on. I want to see some passion in the game. Forget Wednesday Night Rivalries on NBCSN. I want VHLM Daily Rivalry Night. Where are the rivalries at? If there are any, how did they begin? What teams? I'm always down for a tense rivalry.

1. Ma never told me Dick is a nickname for Richard. Apparently my 'dad', who was a real Dick, left for a pack of cigarettes one day and never came back. I guess she named me Dick to spite my father. Ma wasn't always the brightest bulb in the pack. I guess she wasn't thinking when I popped out and she named me Dick. 
2. Medical condition? Of course. I'm an animal. Stay away, put me in a cage. I CAN'T BE CONTAINED!
3. Two goal game, should've been three. Dad will never find his son if I never get out of the VHLM.
4. I'm feeling great about how this season is going so far. I'm a great team and I couldn't be happier. Locker room is buzzing after every win and it feels like one big family. Atmosphere has definitely contributed to our team's early success. We're going to the cup and I'll be the first to drink a 40 out of it. Ice cold Colt-45. 
5. I hope Toronto takes it home and the city petitions to remove the Leafs and replace them with the VHL Toronto Legion. Would be a riot.

Clickbait titles...amirite?

Dick Rash Contagious
 
oh no

Although he has only played in 2 of Halifax’s last 6 games, Dick Rash is finding ways to show success early in his rookie campaign. In two games he has played in, Rash has assisted on two goals and maintained a +2 rating. When speaking to the media, Rash was most impressed with his +2 rating:
 
In terms of establishing a physical presence, Rash found himself in the box twice in his two games for a total of 4 PIMs. The penalties? Cross-checking and roughing.
 
Management has yet to comment on how they feel about their gritty rookie. Seeing penalties on the scoresheet for cross-checking and roughing can be tough for managers to swallow, especially for a rookie talent, but Rash has been producing. He even logged a total of 5:59 on the powerplay over his first two games on the ice.
 
Looking forward, Nash just may get that opportunity. Halifax plays Vegas in a home-and-home series. Halifax getting the first home game and then traveling to Vegas. How is Rash feeling about it?
 
Looks like Vegas may have a handful when they come to Halifax. Looking forward to it.

@nick_716 with 2 apples. @tunedtorock with his 1st goal. Madden still MIA

Dick Rash

Age: 26
Place of Birth: Bender, Oklahoma
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 195
Team: Halifax 21st
Pos: Forward (RW)
 
The hype is contagious when it comes to one of the league's newest rookies, Dick Rash. Rash, despite his suggestive name, has a spread of talents and is strong on the puck. Defense beware. Skating skills, combined with strength, will have Rash positioned deep in the offensive zone as an itch that opposing teams just can't scratch. 
 
Strengths
Strength: Rash has been working on becoming a physical presence in the league. One of the hardest adjustments coming into the league as a rookie is having the physical strength to hold a position in front of the net and on the boards. Rash is a grinder and has spent hours in the gym to build his strength and match that of seasoned veterans. Hope it pays off.
 
Grit: This guy is in it for the long run. There is no 'I' in 'TEAM' and Rash fully embodies that motto. Rash is a blue-collared player that will give whatever it takes to make the Halifax forecheck a force to be reckoned with in the VHLM. If anything, Rash can be that player coaches lean on during press conferences to express 'How much grit the team showed during tonight's game'.
 
Strong on the Puck: Noted above, Rash has a hard time giving that puck up. Teams will get to know Rash as a pest in the offensive zone. Night in, night out look for Rash to help his team get that deep penetration and offensive zone time. 
 
Weaknesses
Shot: Can't hit the broad side of a barn. In fact, during his time with the Oklahoma Benders, his practice facility had no choice but to start billing him for the glass every time he broke it. Shot is harder than Grandpa's candy but lacks any type of control. 'Is this net regulation size?'
 
Chirper: Nash will lay his body down for this team but is a Grade-A chirper when it comes to scrums in front of the net. With the Benders, Rash once totaled 30 PIMs in a game, not one of them was a minor. Mouth will get his team in penalty trouble. 
 
Hockey IQ: Nash is willing to do whatever it takes to be that powerful offensive threat but besides his strength and grittiness Nash has no knowledge on the flow of a hockey game. There have been a number of instances in which Rash has been caught too deep in the offensive zone, engaged in an exchange of words with the opposing team's goaltender.
 
Summary
Halifax is lucky to have pulled the trigger on this guy. May seem like a bit of a bender but the foundation is there. Give him the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with one of the league's enforcers and his mindset will change. If, and when, Nash comes to his senses and realizes that he has the skills to be a contributing member for Halifax the opportunities will be endless. Look for him to start his rookie campaign with very little impact but that will change as the season progresses. A blooming flower in the making. Set the bar low with this guy and watch him set a league standard for power forwards.
