sent in, lets go!

It's been a bitch of a time in the VHL, and I'll be the first one to admit it. As a young thirteen year old, I joined the VHL unaware of what I was even doing or getting myself into. My cousin had referred me to the site and I am a huge hockey player and watcher, so even as young as I was, it intrigued me. My first player was a bit of a bust, rightfully so, I had no freaking clue what I was doing, it was like 17 seasons into the leagues existence so people knew a lot more than I did, and so I retired him early to try to figure shit out. Throughout the process somewhere along the failed path of terrible bust players and constant disappearances, I finally found my footing with my best player to date, Radislav Mjers. I was pretty proud of my accomplishments when it came to Mjers, he was a multi-season all-star, he had won two cups, a couple of individual awards, and was my highest TPE player, but this would be the peak for me, and the "demise" of my reputation so to speak. I was a jackass after that player, I made a lot of failed commitments to players and burned GM's respectively as I went AFK three times with three separate players and it was not my best look, in fact I was probably at my lowest point by then... But then things changed! I went away for what I'd consider to be my biggest "break" and it was a hard pill to swallow, my life had changed in many ways. At my lowest, what people didn't know is IRL I was spiraling out of control, I was battling myself as my personal demon, but thankfully, I overcame it all. I had a kid just before leaving here, another while I was gone, I got married, and just spent me time. I also ended up beginning to run my own operations from home, and straying away from the toxic 9-5 job I was at before, a lot of things we're looking up for me, and still are...and that's how we landed here. I would say this is my new peak, Denver Wolfe while not the stud in the VHL I was hoping for has been my most fun player up to date. I've updated consistently, I've been a GM now in the VHLM for a few seasons which has really been awesome finally coming back and being good at a job I knew I could do, but had just shrugged off many times in the past, and I've made everlasting memories with a lot of of awesome people. So yeah...this is the story of the very many year career of me... and my historical background into the VHL... Thanks for reading

with being away for the weekend and completely forgetting, here is the PT I made and forgot to post:

Sup @Siddhus Nice to see you joined the dark side. I obviously know you from the EFL quite well I also run a team here, the San Diego Marlins and were always looking for active, dedicated players to join our team. I'd like to offer you 2nd line minutes on the team, with some PP and PK time, we'll be playing you on both sides of the wing, to maximize minute production and also scoring/point potential for you. If you'd like to come join me, quote this offer, we'll get you started Good luck, and other GM's will reach out to you as well, it's your choice if you choose to wait for their offers or not before accepting.

@Russ Germain Welcome to the VHL! My name is Zack, I go by InstantRockstar here, and I am the GM of the San Diego Marlins. We have a great opportunity for you on our team, that I think you'd enjoy a lot! We're offering you second line minutes as our 2C with PP and PK time to take over from a recently inactive center we have on the team. We'd love to grow our team and our community and add you to a very active core as is . If you'd like to come join us quote this offer and accept it! More GM's will offer on you as well, so you can choose to wait to accept, or just accept it anytime. Regardless of your decision, enjoy your experience here, there is a lot of fun to be had and a lot of great GM's, you can't make a bad choice. Cheers.

@TheStranger first and foremost welcome! I'm the GM of the SD Marlins, I'll make this short and sweet... we want you! As a defender, we'd be able to offer you second pairing minutes with PP and PK time too! You'll continue to grow with a core that is wanting to win and as we continue to grow, we will continue to fight for a playoff spot. If you'd like to join us, quote this and accept, and lets get your journey started!! You will also receive offers from other GM's, so you can either accept mine now, or wait to see what other offers come in, regardless you have fun and enjoy the league!

Today we will highlight just a few of our very successful Marlins "candidates" who have either garnered success on another VHLM team through the most recent draft, or have already grown their big boy wings and have climbed their way up to the VHL. The Marlins have had a lot of players come and go, so not everyone is highlighted here, but keep in mind, I will likely make this a two or three part "piece" to cover everyone I can. In this article, we're going to talk about our S67 players who were on the team that have moved on to bigger, and better things. In Total, SDM "created" 6 eventual players who would become VHLers, they were as follows: Alex Pearson - Jayrad28 - 311 TPE - Prague Phantoms Charles Drumm - frescoelmo - 238 TPE - D.C Dragons Greg Eagles - greg_di - 502 TPE - Vancouver Wolves Lincoln Tate - Tate - 545 TPE - Riga Reign Phil Marleau - Phil - 555 TPE - Malmo Nighthawks Scotty BigShotty - Ferdajets - 317 TPE - Prague Phantoms As we can see here, out of the six who made it "big", three of them have hit or exceeded 500 TPE, but all of them seem to be having good careers for their respective teams. It's funny, because out of this list, four of the players from San Diego were actually waiver-wire pick-ups and the other two were draft picks. Phil Marleau ended up living up to his hype as he was our top selection in his draft and is now leading the pack of players from the Marlins in the VHL. We're happy to see that the Marlins organization is able to produce VHL caliber players, and we hope this trend continues! We will follow-up next week with our S68 players.

can't claim same link, using my doubles this week 09-29-2019

also you will be. He’s only around for 2 weeks. I also always run two starters if I can. But you have the starts in all the upcoming sims

As spoken about, turn of events, I'll offer you top goalie position for the time being, both of my goalies are inactive, and your carryover goalie will be helpful here. Accept if you'd like

this is beautiful!

Hey @Kmillsy It's awesome to see new recruits still finding us! I am the GM of the San Diego Marlins, I just kind of want to get straight down to the point, no silly talks, just real talks. We'd like you to join our team on the second line , this would guarantee you PP and PK time as well. We're a team who has had a lot of fun together who is still actively looking to grow, and be better. We want to win, but most importantly I am here as is the team to have fun. I want you to not only enjoy your experience here...but remember it. If you'd like to come join the San Diego Marlins, quote my offer and just simply say "I accept", and I'll take care of the rest. Regardless of where you go, I hope your experience is tremendous, I'd trust you with any one of these GM's, you've got a lot of good people waiting for ya (haha).

1.The New Captains have been announced. What do you think of the choices? "Well, I was dethroned, kind of sad about that, as I captained the team to a cup, and thought I'd at least continue my reign into this season, but I was made an assistant which is awesome and I think the choices for captain and A1 were really good too, overall we're a family and I love the choices no matter what." 2. Any words of advice to the captains? "You have shoes to fill, we won a cup last season, lets 2-peat with Palo at the helm!" 3. How do you feel about the start of our season? "50/50, from a team perspective we've had some close losses, but some good wins, personally I am not happy with my player production but that's the name of the game, when are you ever happy unless you're a superstar? I am just three seasons into my young career so plenty of time to come around." 4. How have you been playing as of late? "As mentioned above, not to the harsh standards I put myself in, I prefer to be a PPG player or over PPG but I am just not even close to that right now, I want better for myself." 5. Do you think we are doing the right things in order to succeed this season? "I do think so, we've drafted good, we've made lowkey trades that seem to be panning out for us and a core that is growing together. If we can keep up the excellent work ethic we have and push through obstacles, we'll be good again." 6. If you could change one thing about your game what would it be? "Just being able to play more offensively, honestly. I am playing max minutes I can, I have the opportunities but I am not converting, that part of the game is personally struggling for me." 7. What are you most proud of in your ability to play the game "I'd like to say my two-way ability, I am capable of playing both ends of the ice and making sure that everything is taken care of at all times." 8. What has been the hardest thing this season to get over from the last. "We won the cup, and getting out of that mentality is something to overcome. We won...last season but this is a whole new season with new games to be played, and we need to get back into a new mentality." 9. What advice would you give to the rookies? "If you try your best, update, show your loyalty and activity, your time of greatness will come. Everyone started as a rookie, you have to at some point, but you'll get there, and its a glorious feeling when you do!" 10. What do you think about your early role this season? "I'm happy with the opportunities I am given, unhappy with the results as mentioned prior, but just so happy the team believes me enough to give me the chances they have."
