Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2! 1. Do we buy or sell at the trade deadline? 2. Prague currently has a -84 goal differential. Will this be an issue for future seasons? 3. Helsinki and London are both below us in the standings. Will either of them pass us? 4. Do you play any instruments? 5. Coke or Pepsi? There is a correct choice. 6. Remembrance day was this week. Is there any of your family that fought in a world war? What is their story?

Okay then I will change my statement to wheat because it's still true.

Shrek 2 is great, just not as great as The Last Wish. Also, both rice and bread are whole grain foods so that's why I put them in the same category. What you do with them is completely different but their place in cooking is relatively similar.

I don't understand why the origin of the universe matters to my current understanding of anything. There are things humans will never know. We are not the ultimate universal species, just simply the apex predator on earth. Knowing one thing, no matter how small in scale, does not detract from the inherent value that information provides. And to say that the sheer scale of the universe reverts any knowledge understood by current civilization is just something outside of the scope of this conversation. Humanity, thus far, has been a blimp in lifespan of however long we think the universe has existed for. It is the pursuit of truths, and the cynicism of current information, that pushes us forward in that regard. None of that is done without foundational information that has been critical to civilization. Basic concepts like life and death are key and indisputable. I don't need to know about the origins of the universe and backtrack my entire history as an animal to prove that I am alive. Also, I don't know why resenting the process of working backwards to the beginning of the universe has anything to do with having problems with the scientific method. From my current understanding, the scientific method mostly exists to prevent a person from having bias when conducting any form of science, not necessarily proving something to be true.

1+1=2 is an absolute truth. You might argue that it's a social construct and it does not count but I would argue that it certainly does. I mean even pythagorean "theorem" was understood in Egypt well before Pythagoras laid eyes on it. To argue that nothing is provable unless you know quite literally everything in the universe is to imply that a hockey player wouldn't know anything about stick lifting because they aren't a cook, or that a data analyst couldn't understand data because they're not fully versed in Buddhism. I have listened to what people describe as "good death metal" and it sounds almost as bad as nails on a chalkboard.

So these are my real, controversial opinions that mean nothing but I felt like the VHL pot has been sitting for too long and I wanted to stir it up. I will provide a full list of genuine opinions that are mine and mine alone and nobody will be able to debate me on them no matter how hard they try. This is, for all intents and purposes, a really good idea. - Puss in Boots the Last Wish is one of the best animated films of the modern era and it surpasses all of the Shrek sequels in terms of pacing, storytelling, and morals. - Screaming into a microphone at full blast and calling it "death metal" is only music because the metal stans that listen to it can't fathom having their feelings hurt over the subjective truth. - Rice is far superior to bread. - Drake had a better songs to sit down and listen to than Kendrick did during the beef. Meet the Grahams is a fantastic diss track but horrible music. - If Socrates was right in saying he knew nothing, then that means I can't ever have opinions or believe in anything because it will always be wrong. I have to believe I know something in order to be a human being, otherwise I turn into a B.C. era greek sheep that's well overrated. Anyway you can come at me in the comments.

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2! 1. Prague has 5 wins, the 2nd lowest in the VHL above London who has 1. Who will come out on top by the end of the season? 2. Give a shoutout to another member in the league (Not on our team) and share your favourite memory of them with us! 3. Prague had 11 wins last season. Will we have more or less by the end of this season? 4. For my hip hop allies out there, Tupac or Biggie Smalls? 5. Is there a movie that changed your life? If so, what one and why? 6. I think saying that the world is your oyster is stupid. What do you think the world is?

So about a week ago, Tet my VHLF group manager and I were talking as we were waiting for picks to come in. Now, I'm a nosy boy and decided to snoop around Prague a little bit (Since he's the GM). What I saw was a vacant AGM position and no memory of there being a post about an opening. After inquiring about it Tet was kind enough to share that he was upsetti with former AGMs departing to the lands of inactivity. As a member that vacations there quite often I thought there was absolutely no chance that I'd get the position. But you know something? Questions have power. And somehow after about a fifteen minute conversation (I still think he did it because he felt bad for me) I ended up in the Prague Phantoms board room as their AGM. This is NOT an endorsement to raid the dms of GMs that don't have an assistant. It's also not an endorsement of begging. It's just nice that the community is always welcoming even to members that can never seem to stick around long term. Hopefully, people can see that the AGM for Prague will be around for the long term.

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2! 1. Prague has traded away Holmes for a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. How do you feel about the trade? 2. What do you need to work most on as a player? 3. If you could be the GM of Prague for a day, what would you do? 4. What is your go-to song at the moment and why? 5. Prague is a city of rich history and culture. What's your favourite Prague fact? 6. If you had one dessert to pick to eat in the desert, what would it be and why?

Let us obtain bread!

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2! 1. Prague had a busy draft class, which prospect are you most excited about? 2. Week 1 is right around the corner! Where are you predicting Prague to finish in the standings? 3. Can you name (And ping) one teammate you're excited to play with this season and explain why? 4. What's your jersey number and what's the story behind it? 5. If you ran a country and could name a national animal, what would it be and why? 6. I'm your new AGM! If you could request one thing from me what would it be?

Joel Jakobs has had pretty admiral performances in both the JST and WJC. As a member of Team Asia in the WJC, Jakobs would put on a show humiliating the EU GM that decided to pass on him by putting up a pgp and getting 4 points in the deciding game to force Team World out of the playoffs and push Team Asia into the bronze medal game (They didn't win). Ottawa's been looking very closely at the playmaking ability of Jakobs. When asked to comment, Ottawa scouts said "He's good". High praise considering I made that up on the spot. On the flipside in the JST, where Jakobs has been skating against the worlds best competition in the VHLM, Jakobs has put up 42 points in 42 games (20G - 22A). This high point production isn't unprecedented for the forward. It'll be interesting to see how Jakobs performs on a depth role within the Lynx system. Brandon Petan Jr. is projected to slot in that top C line so much less focus will be placed on the German Forward in Joel Jakobs.

1. My player's German so probably shoving beer in his face until he passes out. I think he's got Canadian thanksgiving as the Canadian version of Oktoberfest. 2. Well, probably chicken would take over as the substitute. KFC in Asia (Japan in particular) is really, really popular around Christmas for that reason. 3. The answer is nothing so I don't have to worry about it. 4. I definitely think it needs to be shorter. I don't see a reason why it lasts as long as a season (No playoffs). I think the offseason also hurts player retention which I know the league has attempted to fight for a long time. 5. Would you swap the hand you're dominant with? 6. That you don't need to max earn each week to be an all-star player, and that your draft position is also not the value of your player.

Yes very Asian players right there ;D

Well I'm in the Worlds LR because I'm stupid LMAO
