I accept only because Riga has been on a mission to make Squinty recreate.  Though I think that the blue team should reject this trade as a part 2 deal from the new rules as this is the continuation of the D3vils/Koradek trade.

I just re-read the two posts you followed me with.
 
"We aren't picking every last detail for a franchise that is the brunt of all jokes for good reason. The BOG is pretty unbiased when it comes to things such as relocation and teams.  However when you have prominent members saying they won't join Vasteras if drafted there, we do have to talk about it."
 
That is exactly what I want to hear.  We aren't picking the details the BoG is unbiased when it comes to these things but because we consider Vasteras a joke we should talk about them as a relocation candidate.  I'm fine with that and understand the logic behind that.  To make it clear my stance is not yes relocate or no don't relocate it is if there is to be a relocation the BoG shouldn't control it.
 
This was the second comment you made.
 
"Keep in mind if the GM has full control over everything, that does mess with the VHL culture and image. Colour scheme and city is not up to the GM unless expansion was brought in."
 
Now I interpret this as the exact opposite of your first post.  Things are not up to the GM and essentially that means that the BoG is in total control.  Now I don't understand how you or Devise can think I mean anything other than what I'm saying which is I don't think the BoG should control this process.  Thats just my opinion its all I'm trying to get across and the information that everyone else is "leaking" to me seems to be that it is.  

Yep SHL/SHL Dynasties and ESHL the original MSFL

Thats the ESHL forum still on the interwebs.  

 
Its sad that I can still remember being on the Winnipeg Ice in the ESHL and being on the Owen Sound Attack for the SHL.  This was Jan/Feb 2007 dayum.  I gave the VHL some time before making in summer of 07 didn't want to be part of the massive first drafts.
 
CK16 " k, I heard about a baseball league that lasted 19 seasons...nothing can touch that"
 
Lots of goodies over there

Even I laughed when he said it.

My problem with the BoG is I don't see them as admin or anything with the ability to completely direct and dictate policy of the league.  It is a group of random members with different backgrounds that provide a small sample size to represent the rest of the league on different matters.  At the end of the day though things changed league wide have to be decided by the blue team taking everything into consideration.  Whats good about the VHL is that generally happens so its not an issue and things are usually discussed all over before change is actually made.
 
My problem with a situation like Vasteras is it is a running joke in the league sure but the group that are in the BoG trying to force a relocation is not the way to go.  Whether you like it or not IMO the GM runs the team.  If they want to change the team's logo, draft who they want, trade who they want, and do what they want that is on the GM.  Having a BoG group force a relocation on a team is not what should be done regardless of the circumstances.  We shouldn't let teams relocate all the time for the sake of doing it and a team like Vasteras is a good candidate to relocate but if the GM doesn't want it to be done to begin with it shouldn't be forced upon a team.  Once the decision to relocate is decided though the BoG also should not be in charge of picking the exact country, the exact city, and the exact logo/team name for that team.  There can be a system where they suggest a list of each then the GM can pick from or he creates a list and the BoG can select from that.
 
You can't have a random group of members force policy onto a team though its just not right.

Someone want to make the #SharpenTheBlade sig for the playoffs now this way we can make one that doesn't suck this time

Who has the shitty lines now 

Cologne 2 gud
New York 2 bad
Riga 2 right

Robin Gow is the best Gow

Sixth knowing Vasteras' playoff history.

Guardians was fucking awesome my favorite of the series.

I loved the epic animated gif battle.

Might want to put S38 Jardy simmed almost every day most consistent simming in Jardy history.

Good thing Cologne's former GM stepped down that would be a 4th tier even below Vasteras.

I was just saying how you like to criticize other GMs yet you did an awful job in Cologne and your only excuse was people lied to you or you couldn't sign free agents.  Typical Kendrick fashion though like the arrogant sarcastic ass that you are you pivot toward a completely different unrelated point.  As for your continuing attack on my build as a goalie it is completely hilarious.  
 
The fact of the matter is my player was the youngest in the playoffs last season with the least amount of TPE.  Riga also had games where 20 out of 60 minutes were spent on the penalty kill. You have been butt hurt since you advised me to only upgrade agility and size when I was actually already doing that is just laughable.  I've gone back to re-read the posts and you told me on 5 different occasions to upgrade Size and Agility which I spent more than 30 TPE during the season. Basically all of my TPE after I got rebound to 90.  I already gave my explanation for that in the Lockerroom in our loss to Davos the previous season all 3 goals in 1 game were given up on the rebound.

2100 words later and my article has been pmed to STZ

As an avid listener I feel like I can already answer these questions ahead of time for you.
 
1) Devise will start off serious...Looking forward to playing in Cologne...would like to help turn around this troubled expansion team...I like the youth rebuild movement and the new players they've added.  He will however end on the kinda dry sarcastic note of and the best part is I don't have to play with Kellinger anymore which will have the 3 of them chuckle a bit but what this really does is open the troll doors for Jericho with #2.
2) Jericho's response will be completely a joke about how he couldn't wait to get rid of Laich and finally play with some better players because Laich is a scrub.  This will completely take the show off on a tangent as all 3 begin a school girl giggle fest of making fun of Laich with Devise blaming Kellinger.
3) Devise will pull things back into reality and say Chris what about your part of the question.  Chris will have already chimed in in a joke like format in his usual reportee and when it comes to answering his part will turn to his new fake serious tone that he has been using a lot lately (so he'll sound serious but the content will still be an anti laich joke).  Well you know Laich was just such an integral part of the team you just hate to let someone go who has 40 points in their career and only takes 20 hits a season.  There will be more laughs and jokes and eventually the podjcast moves on to the next segment.

You heard it first everyone Updates will be done on the forum sometime tuesday possibly late into wednesday and Jardy will likely get those updates into the sim sometime thursday just in time for a double opening sim on Friday (after midnight Thursday night) my guess is 1st sim game gets posted around 1:17am Friday morning.

Arceholes sandbagged all tourney.
