Alrighty, I am back here again - there are 2 amazing and passionate guys that should take up this role - @TheFlash or @DMaximus. To give a quik insight on why you should hire TheFlash - he is one of the few people who genuinely are interested in making this league a better place and has the right mindset for VHLM - making this place welcoming and open to new people. He is the person that will always go an extra mile for everyone on his team and never back down no matter what! About DMax - well, if you haven't read his posts, haven't seen his work around the forums then you have been living under a rock. One of the best statistical minds in VHL/VHLM in my humble opinion. A guy who is dedicated to this league and is always ready to be there for anyone when it is needed. Make the right choice!

Alrighty, thanks, was just clarifying as I never actually really paid attention to the lists themselves Sorry about that

@Victor Why there are people in both +1 and +2 lists with the same name... I am not but my team guys like - Edustava is

@Peace, be a nice lad and give @TheFlash a chance - he is a great guy and truly a remarkable person to deal with. You can't go wrong with him.

This week in our full media coverage we will look at the situation in VHL and current standings, look at teams and players that are showing their best hockey and call our ones that are doing less favourably. As always, all ECN coverage is brought to you by Frostbeard Entertainment, independent network of quality news covering everything VHL Sports. To start off, ECN has been following VHL from the start of the season but hasn’t commented anything about it because we never thought there was a necessity to do so, league was moving forward with its reintroduced conference system that is quite a nice addition as it brings more character and a lot more to talk about for us – media. “Conferences and Differences” At the start of the season, ECN Chief editor had a talk in our office and said that he believed that both conferences will be equal, and we will see teams on both sides playing amazing hockey. Currently, it seems that our chief editor was dead wrong. European Conference is dominating over North American Conference in all categories. If we look at points – first two teams of European Conference – Helsinki Titans (18 points ahead of NYA and CGY, who both are at 60 points) and Riga Reign (8 points ahead of NYA and CGY) – are both in a pretty good lead over North Americans. HC Davos Dynamo who are in 3rd place in European Conference with 58 points would be biting both NYA and CGY ankles. If we compare goals for, North American conference in 51 games played has scored 713 goals while European Conference in 51 games has scored 806 goals. We are talking about almost 100 goal difference between both conferences. Goals against are in a very similar situation too, so it begs a question – will North American Conference’s playoff teams be able to compete against juggernauts that we see in European side? Well, in last 10 games when teams from difference conferences played each other European Conference won 7 of those games, surely something to think about. “Did anyone expect this?” An interesting situation has occurred that we at ECN didn’t ever consider as a possibility – Julian Borwinn is leading VHL with 74 points in 51 games played. We always thought he was a dedicated player that can show up in big games, but to show up on this stage with such a great passion was remarkable, to say the least. We expected that he will be again on pace to be at 75/80 points in total but never imagined that he will be there with more than 20 games left to play. We at ECN are proud of his hard work and would like to say that Helsinki Titans with his leadership on ice will prove to be deadly opponents to anyone who faces them in Playoffs. We are truly rooting for you Julian and we are calling it – your first 100-point season is incoming! Another player that has been full of surprises is a Canadian sniper from Toronto Legion, Roctrion King. Even though he doesn’t have even close to the amount of TPE that others are having, he is tied for the first place in all VHL for goals with 46 in 51 games played. He is tied with one of the best players in all VHL currently Matt Thompson. Roctrion King has been shooting the puck quite a few times as he currently sits with 42 more shots than 2nd in that category in VHL. He has shot puck 75 more times than Matt Thompson. He is surely an interesting player and one to look out for as he is deadly with his shot and doesn’t make many mistakes as currently after 51 games played, he has been penalized only 2 times. “Best Two-way forward in VHL?” There were quite a few conversations about who is the best two-way forward in VHL last season, before the award ceremony, so it is quite important to look into that right now when the season is at full swing and evaluate players who really do deserve and who really do not deserve the award. A lot of people will go and look at a player like Beau Louth and scream that he deserves the award because of many reasons that are just wrong. After asking our Chief editor his opinion about who currently seems to be on pace to get that award, he mentioned two very well-established names in VHL – Sebastian Ironside and Kronos Bailey. They both are great faceoff takers, a heavy hitter that don’t take as many penalties and someone like Beau Louth and added to all that, they both are in Top 10 in +/- category too. ECN would strongly suggest putting a higher value on the +/- category as no matter how good defensively you might be – your team has to win. And that will be all for this weeks ECN’s coverage of what is going on in VHL. I hope you liked this post and will enjoy the next editions of it too. Stay tuned and follow Frostbeard Entertainment. People mentioned in this post: @Jubo07, @Romaris, @Beketov, @Beaviss, @Quik and @DollarAndADream

And I agree 110% with that. I would suggest to first give a team chance to figure out lines and see if there is anyone who complains and only then judge the situation.

It seems that once again Peace is having issues with something that doesn't involve him.. Quite funny to be honest.

I would want to vouch for 3 players here - @DMaximus, @TheFlash and @DilIsPickle, I think they would make an excellent GM. All three are great community members and super awesome people to deal with. You really can't go wrong here with these three. I would say that @Jables would be my fourth option, but I need him as my AGM, so, I don't vouch for him, he is horrible.

Pretty good standing by Bulls, first two periods we hold of Marlins well, unfortunately, third period and Marlins offence cracked us up.

1. Who would you ask to help you if your muscles froze up after a workout and you couldn't move? 2. Name something you gave a nickname to that is work-related, what nickname did you give it? 3. What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been as part of your hockey career? 4. When you've had a bad day, what is the best thing a teammate has done to help you feel better? 5. When you notice a teammate having a bad day what do you do to cheer them up? 6. Who is the Philly GOAT (Greatest of all Time?) 7. Have you ever sent a text message to the wrong person? (what did you say? and who was it?) 8. What is one thing you refuse to share? 9. If you could make a rule for the Reapers and everyone had to follow it, what would it be? 10. What movie completely changes its plot when you change one letter in its title? 11. Using only images Pick a teammate and describe how you feel about them (Tag the teammate lol) 12. What set of items could you buy that would make the cashier the most uncomfortable? 1. I would ask Emergency Medical Hologram 1 aka The Doctor or the lovely Beverly to help me up. They both are the best doctors I know and I am sure with their advanced technology something like "Muscle freeze" would be fixed in less than 1 minute. 3. Hmm, I am gonna be absolutely lame and go with - Reapers LR. I love that place, I don't care about what other cities offer, they all are just places for me, I am not attached with them. 5. I offer them wieners. Like really, everyone knows I have a special hidden cache with some delicious wieners that I am sharing with people is bad and good days. I usually eat about 10 of them pre-game too. 6. Walter is my evil master Walter is my wisest king Walter is my precious jewel That my mind keeps worshipping 8. I am quite sure I will not give my water bottle to anyone, because, well, it is none of your business what is in that bottle, it is mine and you stay away from it. Did you hear me? STAY AWAY! 9. FrostBeard Decree #1 - You shall obey my rule and agree to become a member of Wiener Sect and deliver 12 weiners a day to the Council of the Sausage God. (I think that is a fair rule, simple to go by and beneficial to everyone as gods will help us. The win-win scenario you know?)

ECN on VHL Portal What is up in VHLM? In this post, we shall dwell into interesting statistics and analysis of VHLM and S66. As always if you have any ideas of improving ECN and making information we provide better, be sure to contact our Chief Editor FrostBeard. Brought to you by Frostbeard Entertainment. To start off, interesting fact - there have been 7 fights in VHLM this season. You might think that there isn't much to add, but well, only 2 of those fights ended with a clear winner. Both Lucas Nygren and ACL TEAR showed that they can defend their teams and show others that it is not wise to fight against them. On the other hand, we have Morpheus Destructious and Rusty Shackleford who both have had 2 fights each but have ended in a draw. Interesting that by observing both of them, they seem to have a persona that would indicate them as great fighters. ECN had many discussions on this topic and we came to conclusions that some players just brag but can't deliver. Let's see if the next 40 games in VHLM will change their statistics for better. S66 has started as predicted. We have 2 teams that have been strongly battling for the tough stop on the top of the standings. Both Ottawa and Philadelphia are showing why they should be considered Elite this season. Interesting that Saskatoon has fallen down the standings to the point where First-year expansion team San Diego might move to 3rd place in VHLM. That surely will be a huge blow to Saskatoon's morale as they surely put themselves on top of the league before the start of S66. No surprises when we look at Houston Bulls and Yukon Rush as both teams were undermanned and had only a few good players at the start of the season. Point totals are another interesting this to look like this season is truly high scoring, to say the least. 29 players currently are over point-a-game and many more are close to being that. Truly amazing showing by the young talent that soon will storm into VHL. Let's hope that VHL teams will have enough spots on their lines next season. One person in all VHLM deserves not only his team's credit but all our condolences as Guillaume Fontenette is playing over 30 Minutes per game. That is a great showing of a player who is ready to put his body on the line and play his heart of out every day. Well, that is it for this week's ECN on VHL Portal. We hope you will have a great time and an amazing week! Have high scoring games and keep your smile up!
