Oh look it's @Nykonax

Never noticed that! I'll change it. Thank you.

Good to see Mississauga and San Diego are in agreement here.

MEXICO CITY--"¡Dios mío! ¡Está bailando el baile del diablo!" began the audio of a shaky, vertically-filmed cell phone video taken inside Mexico City's arena last week and recently brought to view of the world by means of the Internet. For most, the intermission period is a time to get up, take a walk, buy a drink, spend 10 minutes waiting in line at the restroom while the drunk guy behind you talks about his appendix-removal-gone-wrong, and do just about anything but get excited about the game. That's what the actual game is for. To most people, of course. Not to the Kings' GM, Nyko Nax (@Nykonax), who took the opportunity of a break in the action to appeal to Generation Z in the most egregious manner possible. Midway through the intermission, The Backpack Kid's "Flossin'" began to play on the arena's sound system, and Nax took the opportunity to not only begin flossing viciously, but, after about ten seconds of that, break into numerous other dances from the infamous video game Fortnite, which has, behind an overwhelmingly 14-years-old-and-younger fanbase, forcibly invaded Western culture in just about every way imaginable, from Avengers: Endgame to YouTube Rewind 2018. Nax was caught on the Jumbotron, and since the video's release, has become known as "that Fortnite guy" throughout the world of professional hockey, and even throughout the world in general, as the video made its way into the trending front-page sections of sites such as YouTube and Reddit. When contacted for further information, Nax and other members of Mexico City management declined to comment.

1. How did you come up with the name "Basaraba Moose"? I have to say, I really like it. 2. You've been putting up both the offensive and defensive numbers so far this season. Which are you more surprised to see? 3. What do you think has contributed most to Malmo's success so far? 4. What do you have to say to anyone who thinks Malmo doesn't deserve to be doing well? 5. Which team do you think will be Malmo's greatest threat? 6. What's your best VHL story? @Toasty

I'm starting to like Moose more every day. Consistently putting up better offensive and defensive stats than Jerry. #fixthelottery

Garcia goes a game without taking a penalty. Interesting. #fixthelottery

Might have retired to create a goalie then. That's likely what happened.

Interesting. He had potential, too--wrote his bio and everything. Thought he might be the first YouTube recruit to actually stick around.

For the week ending 5/26: 1. Has anyone from another team made a positive impression on you so far? If so, who, and why? 2. Who on our team do you think has the biggest potential to be a steal in next season's VHL Entry Draft? 3. Hulk Hogan, a defensive defenseman, currently leads the VHLM in points. Are you surprised? 4. Not only that, four Hounds players are represented in the VHLM's top 10 on the points leaderboard. If you're one of them (Hogan, Smith, MacElroy, Gles), what do you think contributed to this? If you're not, do you think you played a major role in their success? 5. Are you happy with how you've done as a player so far? 6. Is there a team, outside of Philadelphia, Ottawa, and Saskatoon, that you think we have to watch out for in particular? If so, who, and why? @Rayzor_7 @HulkHogan @cody73 @No_Dangles @GlowyGoat @DoktorFunk @mmarcoux98 @SweetMike666 @maximlab @Cran @Viknegar @NavyCanuck @raghas @HanManHimself @berocka

Claiming for the week ending 5/26.

Done!

Check out either, or both, of two different build guides posted in our forum locker room!

SHOULD HAVE SIGNED WITH US GG though, Ottawa still better on paper but we're catching up! #fixthelottery

We kept it close, and our second line is really starting to show they're emerging. I like it. #fixthelottery

What? Asia is selected, and half the team isn't low-TPE inactive? I think there was some sort of "make Gustav lose" conspiracy last season.

Hi @Jacob Girouard and welcome to the VHL! I'm GustavMattias, GM of the Mississauga Hounds, and we could use another forward on our team. I'm looking for active players who are willing to work hard for solid upgrades, and it's possible that you may be what I'm looking for. If this sounds like you, feel free to quote my offer here and say "accepted," and I'll make you a contract offer on the portal! At the moment, you'd be playing on the third line, but there's definite potential to move up the chart if you're active enough. Regardless of where you go, welcome once again, and feel free to contact me with any questions! -Gustav

@InstantRockstar how do you feel about this

Tagging @Cran so he knows where to find this

Hi @Cran! I see you know Rayzor and I hear you're interested in joining our team. I'll offer you a contract on the portal if you'd like to come here, but first you would need to quote this post and say "accepted," just to make it official. Welcome! -Gustav

I didn't even see this one. Another Seattle win. I like it. #fixthelottery

Since you've been doing Moscow's pressers, and I need 5 more questions for my press conference points this week, I'm back for more to help a brother out for next week (don't worry, here's 6). 1. If you had to change Owen May's nationality to anything outside of Europe, the US, or Canada, what would it be? 2. Name some of your favorite teammates in Moscow so far. 3. Moscow has won a few games lately. Has anything changed, or should this have already happened? 4. What's the most interesting thing you've seen in Russia? 5. Would you rather be the starting goalie on a bad team or the backup on a good team? 6. Does Team Europe have a chance at repeating in World Juniors? @FacebookFighter

MALMO--It seemed like all 300,000-plus people in Sweden's third-largest city had joined in the celebration Thursday night, though the rest of the league was left dissatisfied. Within hours of a press release from league headquarters, bars were flooded, the city had lit up in green, and a parade was going over the Oresund Bridge. Why? The Nighthawks had just been awarded the Continental Cup. "Upon recent deliberation, the league has drawn the conclusion that, due to recent circumstances, the superior VHL team can no longer be best measured by their results in the regular season, their survivorship in the playoffs, or a win of a so-called 'championship round'," said the league's latest press release. "The VHL has drawn a unanimous consensus that the Malmo Nighthawks, by virtue of their sick logo, shall hereby be recognized as league champions this season. All further games shall be declared 'unofficial,' as shall the playoffs and finals." The league's unprecedented, unexpected declaration drew criticism from most non-Malmo parts of the league, including multiple players going on the record to once again demand the cup for themselves, and Vancouver GM Keaton Louth tweeting "Oh no not this again" as riots erupted in the city. League officials declined to comment upon request for further information.

Well, it was a good team. We're still not that bad and I'm happy with how we've done so far. #fixthelottery
