@rorygot your wish @v.2whether it’s on Warsaw or FA I wish you the best of luck! @Trunkxolotlim glad I could acquire you as our starter! thank you @dlamb for everything

Thanks for the first trade Thanks.

LOL I love it, never too late to apply interviews have been made up and are being sent out, got some inquiries in discord also. I'll shoot you an interview over, decision has yet to be made!

With all the excitement already overwhelming me, from winning the cup with Rome and making it to the finals for the final time, to finally being promoted to VHL GM, I didn't think the news would or could get much better, but low and behold... it did. Not long after Rome won, I ended up with some deja vu as my VHLM team (the Saskatoon Wild), faced a similar finals dilemma, being down 3-1 and possibly being knocked out at any moment. It was a crazy feeling really, being a rookie goalie for a team and making it to the finals was wild already (no pun intended) but now to be in the finals, same exact scenario... craziness. The sim's happened once a day, and slowly but surely we began to chip away at the games, winning to still be down 3-2, then a miracle win to tie up the series, and now once again the deja vu hit even more... a game 7 with the possibility of reverse sweeping the opposing team, but it couldn't happen twice... right? Wrong. The Wild would come back to win the game 6-3 and win the series to once again make me a double champion (one as GM, one as player). This all happened back when I was with Miami, where I ended up winning the cup as GM with the team and then with Seattle as a player. I couldn't be more proud of @BrutalBoost and the whole Wild franchise for what we were able to accomplish. I haven't been in the M for quite a few seasons now as player and around 4 seasons as GM, so needless to say this was such a refreshing win to be back in the place where I started my whole 'GMing' career. Happy to send off Boost with a cup win too

This is amazing Frank, not doing any type of "TPE claimable review" but had to say just how wicked this is.

Hey everyone, @v.2 has informed me that he will officially be hanging up the jacket as AGM for the Stars, and while I'm disappointed to not get to work with him, the show as they say, must go on. So I will be officially looking for an AGM, with the following tasks in mind: - Active in LR - Active on both forum/discord - Weekly pressers - Keeping up with activity in LR (making sure people are doing tasks, keeping convos going, etc). I'm not looking for someone that has experience, but I can offer the necessary knowledge of GMing that I've gathered over the last 3+ years to the successful candidate, I'll also teach you how to use STHS if you don't know how to and prepare yourself essentially for a GM role of your own one day. Please reply here, and I will send an interview to everyone who applies in the next... 24 hours Thanks all!

Couldn't be happier for you Boomer! Told you congrats in private but, had to post here too.

Always good talks indeed, nothing but great memories when we were both VHLM GM's for sure. Unfortunate you stepped down just before I got to come up, but regardless the words mean a lot. Hopefully we can see you back at the helm of a team in the future! Would be one hell of a story haha.

LA PRESS CONFERENCE MARCH 20TH, 2022 1. With the off-season looming, what do you think LA needs to do the most in their off-season? 2. A lot of teams likely needing shake-ups due to retirements, is this the year of the rebuild? 3. New GM in town, what is your honest suggestions to get LA back to the big time? 4. Toronto also got a new GM, congrats @Doomsday! What are your thoughts on Toronto next season? 5. What does your player do pre-game to get FOCUSED? 6. If you could add one legacy player to the team, who would it be and why?

Just publicly going to post that I do use my "recommendation" on my AGM boomer for what it's worth. Been with me all 3 seasons, has huge ties to the team, has already built chemistry with the players and knows the strategy for the team moving forward. Good luck boomer!

1. We're in the Cup Finals, how does it feel? There isn't a better way to describe it other than FREAKING amazing 2. What has our team done to see this type of success in the playoffs? I think the biggest thing has been growth, both internally and externally. We added some pieces late which only bolstered the roster, and those already on the team stayed committed to updating and it proved to be our success story. 3. After the season is complete, what does your player plan on doing for the offseason? Off-season for me is draft time, this is my biggest draft as I go to both a new VHL and VHLE team, I'm very excited to learn who I'll be playing for moving forward. 4. In your opinion, how has your player grew from the start of the season? I would say there is a clear difference between my player from the beginning of the season to now. I've grown almost 150 TPE and really proved I'm committed, my players performance has also been huge ever since. 5. As the season winds down, awards will be the next thing on players minds. Who is our MVP for this season? I agree with the above mentioned player, Minou has to be top of the list if we're talking MVP. 6. Is there any particular team your player wants to end up in next season? Whether it's in the VHLE or VHLM I honestly hold no bias or 'status' towards any particular team, I'm just open to landing on a new team and having a lot of fun there, and if it happens to be a team I've played for in the past, I'll be just as happy as I haven't had a bad experience since re-joining the league 3 years ago

Appreciate you Matty, let's hope so Looking forward to big things coming.

To use the phrase 'emotional roller-coaster' over the last couple of weeks would be absolutely one way to put how this week has gone for me. I started off my third finals appearance tied 1-1, we then went down 3-1... needless to say, I was quite glum. I felt like I was once again going to toss away a prime opportunity to capture some championship 'gold' for my team and I really struggled to let that fact go. I submitted some new lines and I decided to run with them for the next game, and possibly the next game after that, sure enough, luck would be on my side and we'd win to now be down 3-2, I was still sweating, one game could change my whole 'GMing' career and put me 0/3 in the finals, but then a miracle happened, and another win came across my screen, the series was now tied 3-3. I was having flashbacks to the M, where this had happened to me once before, I won a championship via reverse sweep and now I was focused... game 7 was live simmed and I was there to see the action unfold, a 3-1 win despite being heavily outshot as Boris stood tall in net... and captured the cup for Rome. I couldn't have been any happier in that moment, finally after 2 failed seasons of making it to the finals, a bittersweet moment was shared amongst the whole team... we brought it home. Not even a full week later, in fact in the same week I won the cup, I'd get the DM I've been waiting nearly 3 years for... not only did I have the honor and privilege of bringing my team a cup, but I was now being offered a position to go to the big leagues, and take over the LA Stars. I've made some mistakes in my life, no question about that, I've made some enemies here, burnt bridges that people won't ever try to build back, and I've coped with that, but one of my biggest achievements here is finally making it to the pros. Over the years I've tried to make changes for the betterment of myself in the league, and I'm glad to see those efforts have been seen. I'm very proud of where I've come and just thought I'd share with everyone my excitement and my journey over the last week or two. It's been one hell of a ride, but now the games have just begun...

Yessssssssssssss! Thank you man, I'm so happy haha.

Wow... I'll write a book when I'm off work, but for now, I just want to say thank you to all of the staff that were involved in the decision. Knowing how long I've been aspiring to make it here, you know how grateful I am for being selected. I'm glad to be at this point! To @Doomsday this just makes this announcement so much better, to go up with someone I consider a good friend, BLESSED! and to @rory and @Peace best of luck to both of you, whatever you choose to do in the league moving forward

Much love man, I'm really hoping this win + my 3 finals appearances and all my time and patience waiting has put me in the discussion haha.

LETS GO ROME! WE'RE BRINGING IT HOME BABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBY! GG's to all of Cologne, hell of a series!

Oh yes it is! I'll work on this tonight and tomorrow

Appreciate the kind words & feedback honestly. Coming from you I'll take it all day haha.

1. Playoffs have begun! What is the greatest team we have to look out for? Always the first team we face, so at this point it would've been Miami but we took care of business, now we look forward to our next opposition. 2. What one player on our team needs to perform well in order to lock in for our success for the playoffs? Unfortunately the pressure falls on me, because as a goalie you need to perform to win games, of course it is a team game but without a good goalie performance, you're toast. 3. What would playing in a playoff environment mean for your player? Further excitement and also a bit of gratitude. We've worked SO hard all season to get to where we are, so for it to all come full circle is amazing. 4. Everyone has different emotions when they unlock a certain milestone, how is your player feeling after securing a playoff spot? Very, very blessed. As a rookie goalie who was behind most other goalies, my expectations have been SO far surpassed it's not even funny. 5. How does your player normally prepare for gameday? Very quietly, on his own most of the times, mentally preparing for everything and being ready to die on the ice. 6. Pineapple or Mango? On Pizza, Pineapple, but overall, Mango.

Not a whole lot of people can say that they are currently in the playoffs as both a player, and a general manager, but I am one of the few who can. As someone who is experiencing the playoffs not only in multiple leagues, but at multiple 'levels' as well, it really gives me a lot of insight and perspective on the playoffs themselves and provides multiple emotions along the way. As a player, I solely have to think about myself, of course I do think of my team but I know with my player, I can make or break a game, and if I don't update, and I don't play well, I won't succeed at that level and I'll let myself down and in turn, let everyone else down, but as a general manager, it's like... you hold a whole list of people's dreams and desires and possibly fun in your hands, and when you think about it, the success of the team comes from everyone together and not just one individual person. I feel like being a player is a lot more laid back though because at the end of the day I can have the opportunity to chase more cups and even if I don't win cups, I'm not gonna be too upset over it, but as a GM, I have to really strive for the best, be the best I can be and deliver results whenever possible, simply for the greater good of my team. Just some random thoughts for the day, but yeah, it is a lot of fun to be where I am from both perspectives, and I can only hope both my player, and my team flourish to the best of their abilities to win their respective leagues

Apply for both
