Onto our final trophy presentation of the night, we have the Mitch Higgins Trophy, awarded to the player voted to be most valuable to their team in the VHLM regular season! To be nominated for this award is a significant achievement by itself, so let’s take a look at the nominees for this very prestigious award! Jorgen Lovstrom (PHI) - 48-8-4, .918SV%, 2.34 GAA, 3 SO To nobody’s surprise, Jorgen Lovstrom is once again nominated for an MVP award! Having already been voted for best goalie and playoff MVP, it only makes sense Lovstrom is here for the big one! Bric Sheithaus (LVA) - 15 G, 81 A, 96 P,+35, 86 PIM, 237 HIT, 149 SB After the season he had and awards he took home today, it shouldn’t be a surprise that he is here in this category either. Dominating teams as much as he did at the level he was is an incredible feat, and very deserving of an MVP nomination! Jean-Pierre Devote (SDM) - 52 G, 54 A,106 P, +15, 54 PIM, 139 HIT, 58 SB A familiar trend appears as Jean-Pierre Devote is here once again after coming off winning the most goals and best two-way forward awards, Jean-Pierre is making himself a household name tonight! Aanarsi Reingaard (HFX) - 46 G, 45 A,91 P, -18, 41 PIM, 134 HIT, 45 SB The only nominee of this award that hasn’t won a previous award tonight, Aanarsi Reingaard was the saving grace of a struggling Halifax 21st, and never quit each and every game they played! The final vote is here, and the winner of the Mitch Higgins Trophy for MVP of the VHLM goes to…

The Jack Reilly Trophy is awarded annually to the top General Manager of the VHLM! To win this trophy is a lot more than just fielding a good team on the ice, as you have to be a smart negotiator in trades, adapt to an ever evolving league and maintain multiple players progression and success while trying to win the Founder’s Cup each season! VHLM General Managers provide a significant amount of the backbone that makes up the VHL, as most every player that’s played in the VHL had to first go through the VHLM and learn from their GM’s how to make builds and have successful careers! Tonight, we recognize those who went above and beyond for their teams and players! AJW - Houston Bulls AJ has consistently built strong teams who can make Cinderella runs for the Cup, and it’s no surprise that the Bulls GM is once again in consideration for the Jack Reilly Trophy! Tetricide - Miami Marauders In his last season as Miami’s GM before moving onto Prague, Tet fielded a very strong team which kept every team they went up against on their toes. A legend in the VHLM GMing community whose presence will be greatly missed moving forward! McLovin - Las Vegas Aces After building a team consisting mostly of his own referrals, the Aces have been near the top of the VHLM for a few seasons now both in standings and their potent offense, and made multiple strong pushes into the postseason! Grape - Ottawa Lynx Despite not having the best regular season in S92, Grape was a very active general manager this season, constantly moving pieces and ensuring his team can remain competitive long term! Because of his work, Ottawa is enjoying a very deep draft they can take advantage of today! Our winner of the Jack Reilly Trophy in S92 is…

The Matt Bentz Trophy is awarded to the top two-way forward in the VHLM! With an emphasis on the defensive game that comes with winning this trophy, these are truly the best of the best the VHLM has to offer! Here are your nominees! Elle Aura Ashe (LVA) - 48 G, 52 A, 100P, +41, 42 PIM, 151 HIT, 19 SB Elle Aura Ashe is back with his second nomination of the night, and it’s easy to see why he’s here! A +41 is a remarkable number to have in terms of stats, and complementing it with 100 points and 150 hits makes this an easy nomination for the Matt Bentz! Jean-Pierre Devote (SDM) - 52 G, 54 A,106 P, +15, 54 PIM, 139 HIT, 58 SB Another familiar face, the goal leader of the regular season had a very strong showing this season defensively too, with 139 hits and a whopping 58 shots blocked as a forward, Jean-Pierre is a very deserving player to be in this category as well! Wayne Shotzky (OTT) - 48 G, 63 A, 111P, +2, 42 PIM, 128 HIT, 36 SB The S92 Ethan Osborne Trophy winner returns to the nominee grouping as being the best forward just wasn’t enough for him! With 128 hits and 42 PIMS, Wayne Shotzky was not afraid to get physical with other teams and help Ottawa across the ice! Vanuza Kolesinska (MIA) - 31 G, 48 A,79 P, +7, 50 PIM, 149 HIT, 23 SB While he wasn’t quite the point getter as the other nominees, Vanuza Kolesinska made up for that in their physical and defensive game! Nearing 150 hits, 23 shots blocked and racking up 50 PIMS, Kolesinska was all over the ice being a menace to anybody who got in their way! The winner of the Matt Bentz Trophy for S92 is…

The Ryan Sullivan Trophy is awarded to the top defenseman in the VHLM! Being the best of this position has proven to be a greater task than usual as of late, so to be nominated in this award is quite the achievement by itself! Here are your S92 nominees for the Ryan Sullivan Trophy! Bric Sheithaus (LVA) - 15 G, 81 A, 96 P,+35, 86 PIM, 237 HIT, 149 SB When you’re a defenseman, numbers like Bric Sheithaus put up are impressive as is, but to also almost eclipse 100 points just for good measure? A truly remarkable two-way performance by the Aces D-man! Enn Jinn (PHI) - 21 G, 68 A, 89 P, +43, 86 PIM, 138 HIT, 128 SB A critical piece of the Reaper’s Cup run this season, Enn Jinn did everything his team needed and more with a dominating 200 foot game! A +43 in the plus/minus category is always a pretty number to see from a defenseman, too! Free Gorlab (MEX) - 30 G, 48 A, 78 P,+17, 86 PIM, 205 HIT, 143 SB The only defenseman on this list to score 30 goals, Free Gorlab’s offensive ability propelled him and his team up the score sheets and standings, and was able to match that an incredibly dominant physical game, putting up over 200 hits! Benjamin Abenduct (HOU) - 23 G, 58 A,81 P, +13, 78 PIM, 170 HIT, 100 SB Benjamin Abenduct did everything the Houston Bulls could’ve asked of him and more, being third in defenseman scoring having only 68 games played with over a point per game performance in the regular season, special teams play and physical game considered, Abenduct was absolutely a lethal player across the board, and our final nominee for the Ryan Sullivan Trophy! The winner of the Ryan Sullivan Trophy for S92 is…

The Benoit Devereux Trophy is awarded to the top goaltender in the VHLM, and we have some truly elite goaltenders in this nominee list. As the league’s mentality has shifted to being more offensively minded, these goalies were above and beyond in shutting down the tough competition and carrying their teams to convincing wins. Let’s take a look at the nominees for the Benoit Devereux! Jorgen Lovstrom (PHI) - 48-8-4, .918SV%, 2.34 GAA, 3 SO With truly eye-watering stats like these, it’s no wonder Jorgen Lovestrom finds himself in yet another award category. Keeping the losses under double digits, especially with the aforementioned offenses Jorgen had to face in the regular season, makes this nomination no surprise to anybody! Aleksanteri Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen (MEX)- 39-24-4, .905 SV%, 2.63 GAA, 1 SO Mexico City’s strong third place in the standings this season is in large part to the great goaltending provided to them by Aleksanteri Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen. With the Kings having won 39 of the 41 wins they achieved this season with Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen in net, his play was of extreme value to the Kings! Samuel Wazinski (SDM) - 35-22-7, .904SV%, 2.91 GAA, 2 SO Samuel Wazinski in goal for San Diego provided them with a much needed failsafe between the pipes, and Wazinski came through for them day in and day out, putting up very strong numbers and being our final nominee for the Benoit Devereux Trophy! The Benoit Devereux Trophy for best goalie in S92 goes to…

The Ethan Osborne Trophy is awarded annually to the player who scores the most points in the VHLM! This season had 5 players who eclipsed the 100 point marker, but two players from Ottawa were able to feed off each other's skill and outshined the rest of the league with 111 points each! Wayne Shotzky and Ivan Ivanov were threats all season, and dominated teams in their zone with goal scoring and playmaking abilities both 5 on 5, as well as on the powerplay and even the penalty kill. When you combine for over 200 points, 800 shots and 120 assists, it’s no wonder that this trophy is being awarded to both of these elite players! Congratulations to Wayne Shotzky and Ivan Ivanov, the winners of the Ethan Osborne Trophy for S92!

The Vladimir Boomchenko Trophy is awarded to the player that leads the VHLM in assists! Being crowned the best playmaker of the season is a great achievement, but one player stands out far above the rest in this regard! While most of the leaders in the category provided their teams with 50-60 assists, Bric Sheithaus of the Las Vegas Aces assisted in an incredible 81 goals scored by his teammates! This feat is incredible as it is, but as a defenseman who in previous seasons had not been known for offensive prowess, makes this achievement that much significant for the young defenseman! Congratulations to Bric Sheithaus, the Vladimir Boomchenko Trophy winner for S92!

The Alexander Chershenko Trophy is awarded annually to the player who leads the VHLM in goals! This season had many lethal goal scorers, including Wayne Shotzky, Elle Aura Ashe, and Ivan Ivanov who all scored nearly or up to 50 goals, but Jean-Pierre Devote stood above the rest, scoring a staggering 52 goals on the season across two teams! A truly lethal threat offensively, goaltenders had no chance going up against him this season having put up over 350 shots on goal, with 11 of his goals being game winners as well. All of this in mind, it’s no wonder Jean-Pierre Devote stands atop the VHLM mountain as goal leader! Congratulations to Jean-Pierre Devote, the Alexander Chershenko Trophy winner for S92!

The Skylar Rift Trophy is awarded annually to the player voted to be deemed the most valuable player during the VHLM Playoffs! There were many fantastic performances during the playoffs this season, and without further ado, here are the nominees for the Skylar Rift Trophy: Elle Aura Ashe (LVA) - 14 GP, 10 G, 11A, 21 P, +5, 19 PIM, 31 HIT, 3 SB Elle Aura Ashe was completely dominating the competition during the regular season, ending S92 with a combined 121 points in both the playoffs and regular season. A lethal player on both ends of the ice, Elle Aura Ashe is our first nominee for the Skylar Rift Trophy! Magni Jinn (PHI) - 4 G, 15 A, 19 P, +9,12 PIM, 26 HIT, 22 SB A complete two-way defenseman, Magni Jinn shut down the opposing teams offenses day in and day out, and had the offensive prowess to match. With 22 shots blocked, 26 hits and an over point per game performance in the playoffs, it’s no wonder Magni Jinn is in the running! Jorgen Lovstrom (PHI) - 16 GP, 12-4-0,.920 SV%, 2.13 GAA, 1 SO A team thrives or dies on the back of their goaltending, and the Philadelphia Reapers certainly thrived with the goaltending delivered by Jorgen Lovstrom. With a .920 SV% and 2.13 GAA, teams struggled mightily to score against him, and was a critical piece of the Reapers Founder’s Cup run! Yermolai Nabokov (PHI) - 16 GP, 9 G,13 A, 22 P, +7, 24 PIM, 42 HIT, 7 SB When you need a goal desperately, you call Yermolai Nabokov. With 125 combined points in the regular season and playoffs, including 13 assists and 42 hits in the playoffs alone, Yermolai Nabokov was a lethal two-way threat on the wing for the Reapers, and provided a great deal of skill to the Reaper’s special teams! The winner of the S92 Skylar Rift Trophy, as MVP of the VHLM Playoffs is…

Next up in our presentation, VSN is proud to present the Founder’s Cup, awarded to the winner of the VHLM Playoffs! As has been the case in countless seasons before, any time a team goes to win the Prime Minister’s Cup, anything short of a Founder’s Cup Championship would be disappointing, and Philadelphia came into the playoffs maintaining their energy and pace from the regular season and took on the competition head on! Never in these playoffs were Philadelphia taken to the brink of elimination, as in the first and second round, took care of business in six games against both the defending champs Saskatoon Wild and similarly against the offensively lethal Houston Bulls. In the Finals, they took on the Las Vegas Aces who loaded up on players at the trade deadline, and casually swept them in four to win the Founder’s Cup in convincing fashion! Congratulations to @Lemorse7 and the Philadelphia Reapers organization on winning the Founder’s Cup!

Starting us off, VSN will present the Prime Minister’s Cup, which is awarded to the VHLM team which holds the best regular record. One team stood out above all in this race for the PM Cup, being the only team to achieve over 100 points at the end of the regular season and besting the second place Las Vegas Aces in this race by almost 20 points, it’s the Philadelphia Reapers! A remarkably talented team across the board, they dominated both of the conferences during the regular season with the best statistical numbers in both goals for and against, and bolstered a staggering +82 goal differential by season's end! Congratulations to @Lemorse7 and the Philadelphia Reapers organization for a dominating season, and earning themselves the Prime Minister’s Cup!

Once again good evening everyone, and welcome to this very special presentation of VSN, the Season 92 VHLM Awards! This was an incredible season for many players and teams across the league, and set the stage for many fantastic future careers in the VHLE and VHL. The VHLM’s primary objective has always been developing the next generation of players for competition in the higher leagues, and in this award showcase, we’ll be looking at the potential best of the best in a few seasons! Without further ado, let’s take a look at who our biggest stars of S92 were!

VSN Presents: Season 92 VHLM Awards Good afternoon, everybody! Today, I have the honor of presenting the awards to the top players and teams from across the continent for their achievements and performance during the 92nd season of competition in the VHLM! The awards will be presented LIVE at 5 PM MST, 7 PM EST, so stick around for music presented by Radio Las Vegas!

This is a wonderful article, what a great read!

VSN Presents: S92 World Junior Championship Roster Predictions! Welcome to yet another VSN presentation of the World Junior Championship! We’re in the S92 edition today, and we have quite a bit to cover! The rosters for the S92 WJC have yet to be publicly announced, so in this edition of VSN, we’re gonna predict what each roster might look like, and how they’ll perform in the Round Robin and Medal rounds! Without further ado, let’s take a look at what these teams may look like in a few days! Team Europe: Starting out with arguably the strongest team in the WJC once more, we have Team Europe. The biggest things out the gate that I noticed of this team is their remarkably strong defense and goaltending. Of the top eligible players for Team Europe, 5 out of the top 7 players are either defensemen or goalies, and are all near or at the 400 TPA mark in terms of their earnings. With this in mind, Team Europe is projected by VSN to absolutely shut down games, and be able to put up some decent number of goals offensively too. Adi Dassler @BOOM, Kimi Raikkonen @mattyIceman & Nico Belique @Syzygy headline the forward core, and are all also high earning forwards with heaps of skill on both ends of the ice! All things considered, Team Europe is looking incredibly strong this WJC, and once more are projected to win the World Junior Championship! As we all know though, upsets have happened in the past, and Team Europe’s worst enemy may be themselves in the Medal Round as what happened in last season's WJC. With that in mind however, they have everything to prove this season's tournament, that last season was just a fluke and they’re ready to return to the throne of the World Juniors. Considering they fixed the biggest issue that plagued last season's team in terms of their depth and goaltending woes, anything short of a Gold will be a massive disappointment to everyone in Team Europe's system. Time will tell what ends up happening in a few days! Team Canada: After a very disappointing end to last season's WJC, Canada has returned with a vengeance and looks to prove all the doubters wrong this season! Canada wants to at least win a game this season, and with the look of their projected roster, I expect them to win a lot more than just one!. With an incredibly strong first forward line in Isaac mclflopper @sportexperts show, Eno Velvson @Nykonax, and Bryce Woodworth @SirRupertBarnes headlining, the offense is going to be potent to say the least! Down the depth chart, they have a very strong center core, and will be leaned on rather heavily in special teams play. Beyond that, a good goalie in Toddly Bobbly @ToddlyBobbly and other wingers considered, Canada this season is going to be very offensively minded, and will be expected to put up a significant number of goals against weaker teams defensemen. The only thing concerning this roster is the severe lack of elite Canadian defensemen present in their eligibility lists, which means they’ll either have to work their way down the list to find their own defensemen, or pick from other teams in the tournament. Either way, it’s not an ideal situation by any means for Team Canada, and will likely suffer in the scoresheet for it. Expect very high scoring games in which Team Canada takes part in on both ends of the ice. There’s at least one team like this each World Juniors, so Team Canada games are going to be very entertaining to watch happen this season! Team Canada is also VSN’s dark horse candidate for the World Junior Championship as their offense against Team Europe’s defense is going to be very interesting, and I personally will be very invested in those games myself! Team World: Onto the halfway point of our coverage, we have the very interesting Team World! A similar situation to Team Europe, they bolster a remarkably strong goaltending situation. With arguably the best goaltender in the tournament between the pipes in Pipo Popa @npuBeT, and projected VHLM Playoff MVP in Jorgen Lovstrom @Pifferfish backing him up, Team World will likely have at least a few games stolen by their goalies. Moving past that, Theo Allard @InstantRockstar and Behrens Minion @UnknownMinion headlining the forward core as near top earners, Team World has a great chance at proving to be a bit of a Cinderella story in the making, and would certainly shake up the WJC dynamic if they ended up going all the way! As with Team Canada, the depth might be the only thing holding them back from going rather deep into the Medal Round, but they have excellent pieces in key roles that makes the problem potentially void. A good goaltender duo in these kinds of tournaments usually makes or breaks a run, and Team World has everything they need in that regard to stay competitive. Whether the lack of All-Star caliber defensemen or depth proves to be a factor is yet to be seen, but Team World is going to be a very interesting team to watch in this tournament indeed. We shall certainly see what the future holds for them when the puck drops in a few days! Team USA: Nearing the end of our coverage, we have Team USA! This is a very interesting team in that they aren’t necessarily the best team in the tournament, but definitely not the worst. They have an incredibly strong first forward line similar to Team Canada, and duels between these two lines in historic rivalry games is going to be a treat to watch. George Richmond @badcolethetitan, Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy and Riley Martin @Smarch are all maxed out earners and are going to be on fire in this tournament offensively speaking. Looking past that line, the depth certainly falls off in terms of pure skill, but that doesn’t discount the value that these players can bring to Team USA. Bric Sheithaus @Oldhead91 especially, despite only being at 200 TPA, put up 96 points last season with Las Vegas, and was a menace on defense with 237 hits on his stat sheet. With this MVP performance considered, he very well makes up for the TPA difference with pure grit and fortitude against the other teams. Other players on this roster are excellent in their own regards too, as most of the projected players for Team USA’s defense are also near or at that 200 TPA marker, and will provide much needed VHLM All-Star caliber play to the American’s hopes to make a deep run. The only thing that may hamper this effort is their lack of goaltending depth compared to other teams. As mentioned previously, goalies more times than not make or break a run, but if Connor Hellebuych @HockeyFan4Life can pull out all the stops and put up strong games, Team USA very much has the capacity to upset a few teams and light up the tournament in the scoresheet! Team Asia: Onto the final team of our list, we have Team Asia. It’s not looking good for Asia as it stands, just at face value compared to the other team's potential players. The highest rated player on Team Asia’s potential players would be Petit Hughie @Sen at 262 TPA. While this is a serviceable and good level to be at in terms of the competition, leaning on him to carry the team is going to hurt their efforts in remaining competitive. The only other defenseman on this list is Vladimir Kozlov @vladbatton, and he’s at 199 TPA. This situation could be a bit of a blessing in disguise however, as Team Asia might be able to make up the difference competitively by selecting defensemen from Team Europe or World as they have good depth in those positions. Offensively, they are in a similar rut, both in terms of high TPA earners and in lack of people to actually fill the positions themselves. The team is likely going to look like a mish mash of players from all the other teams in the tournament, so it’s a bit impossible to predict who will make the final roster when they get announced soon. With how deep some teams are in their depths however, Asia might be able to capitalize on this and select them for their own roster, and potentially upset teams with their own players. While Asia has great potential to play spoiler in these regards, expecting a very deep run from them would be ill-advised. That concludes today’s edition of VSN’s coverage of the S92 WJC! We look forward to seeing all the teams final rosters, and hope you enjoyed reading this article on the World Juniors! We’ll see you next time when we cover the Round Robin! For VSN, this is Marcus Svedberg, signing off!

Las Vegas Enters Rebuild in Worst Way Possible (Full disclosure, this is just gonna be a GM vent because I have not properly expressed my disappointment with how the playoffs went yet, so I figured write a media spot and then forget about it LOL) The Las Vegas Aces have lost, getting swept by the Philadelphia Reapers in the Founder's Cup Final. After being projected to be one of, if not, THE favorites to win the Cup, it's safe to say this was a very, very disappointing season for the Aces. This loss stings harder for a multitude of reasons, and we'll get into why shortly, but nobody ever likes getting swept in the playoffs, especially after how well the rest of the playoffs went for the Aces. Dominating performances by Elle Aura Ashe and Piston Maicupp helped keep the Aces dominate in the first two rounds, while point per game paces maintained by Captain Caesar Monterrey, Stinky, and Bric Sheithaus helped compliment the lethal offense in always putting up a high number of goals. My fear from the very beginning of the season however, was goaltending. Both in our own net, as well as the opponents. My fear was that if we got stopped by a brick wall, and weren't able to outscore the other team, that our defense would surrender games easier and the series would become far more competitive. That's exactly what happened against Philadelphia, and facing off against Piffers Jorgen Lovstrom between the pipes. We were just absolutely shut down and there was nothing I could've done to prevent it, it seems. The biggest reason why this loss stings isn't necessarily the loss itself, but what it means for the team moving forward. This was this groups last shot at a Cup, after working our asses off for this over the last 3 seasons and at LEAST half a year IRL. Most of the people on my team are either close friends or family that I know in person, so I know it sucked for them just as hard as it did me to have your final shot at a Founder's Cup go out in a whimper instead of a blaze of glory. It isn't the ending we wanted, and to say that I definitely didn't feel a bit sad even after reading the results of Games 3 & 4 would be an understatement. To my players reading, I apologize if I let you and the team down. We gave it our all, and I am still very proud of what we managed to do. I wish all my players, friends and family, moving onto Europe or retiring from the VHL entirely after this loss the best, and hope to have you guys on the Aces again for another deep run one of these days. Until that happens, however, we're gonna enter a harsh rebuild and try to retool and recoup from the loss, and move on with our careers in the best ways possible. Thank you for reading, fellas!

YOOOOOO THAT’S SICK, THANK YOU MAN!

His leadership on and off the ice will be a quality greatly missed in Las Vegas, but his legacy will be remembered forever in the rafters of Juan Ceson Arena. A career Ace, Las Vegas will always remember the great runs we went on with Stinky at the helm of it all, and the team will never be able to replace the qualities Stinky brought to the team and fans.

Review: MAN, this is what graphics are all about dude. Like I don't even know where to begin with this graphic. It is quite honestly one of the best graphics I've seen on the website ever, maybe even ever. That's not even me tryna reach a word cap, like this is genuinely such a fire ass graphic. If the Aces end up winning the Founder's Cup this season, I want to commission you for graphics for the team absolutely. This is FIRE bro!

Live from Juan Ceson Arena, this is Radio Las Vegas, with your host, Marcus Svedberg. Tonight, we have a very special edition of RLV for you to enjoy! History has been made this season, as Stinky, longtime Captain and primary instrument to the potent offense of Las Vegas, has broken several records this season in his quest to get the Aces back to the Founder's Cup Final. This season she put up a solid season, scoring 44 goals and 50 assists for 94 points. While this is usually pretty typical of a maxed out player playing top line time, the significance of this seasons performance outshines the rest, as Stinky broke multiple regular season records. The most prominent obviously being the points record, previously held by Aces legend Juan Ceson. On his quest to solidify the record, she put up a further 15 points to surpass Juan Ceson and become the sole record holder, a record of which she is likely to hold onto for a very, very long time. With this, she also broke the shots on goal record, far surpassing the previous holder of 962 with 1,261 shots of his own, all of which being in the regular season alone! That in mind, it should be no surprise that Stinky also surpassed the goals record, previously held by Mike Szatkowski III with 122, chalking up what will likely be his final total to a whopping 144 goals. To put the cherry on top, she also broke the game winning goals record, solidifying his status as the greatest goal scorer in Aces history. As she's expected to move onto Europe next season, expect a jersey retirement and Aces Hall of Fame induction shortly after the season ends. Next, we have Roy Brown, singing the praises of a Mighty, Mighty Man

Las Vegas Makes Founders Cup Final The Las Vegas Aces have made the Founders Cup Final for the first time since S85, and it's been a remarkable season for the the Aces so far! Let's have a little recap of the season thus far and dive into the path they took to get here! The Aces started this season with a remarkably strong team out the gate, as many players returned from the previous season ready to compete again for a Founders Cup. The return of Bric Sheithaus @Oldhead91, Stinky @taylorherd, Caesar Monterrey @CaptainGatsby, Piston Maicupp @MandyManiac & Elle Aura Ashe @Lynersify have proven instrumental in propelling the Aces up the standings, and providing them a lethal offense that's been ranked as arguably the best in the entire league. With this offensive core carrying the team over the last 3 seasons, the Aces have maintained a competitive and consistent strategy, that is now all cards on the table with a majority of the team leaving for Europe after this season. To this end, the Aces have gone all in, trading picks and players to bolster the roster even more in the offensive category. The acquisition of Annie Oaks @Noodle Enjoyer has proven to be a fruitful one as Oaks put up 95 points this season, 31 of which came in 20 games with the Aces near the trade deadline. This on top of the 100 point season by Elle Aura Ashe and the Ace record setting numbers put up by Stinky has turned heads in the VHL headlines, and poised Las Vegas for a deep run in the playoffs. With that in mind, let's take a look at how the playoffs have gone for Las Vegas and how it might go for them in the Finals! In the first round, the Aces faced off against the Ottawa Lynx, and it was a very competitive series indeed! The Aces started the series up 3-0, off decisive victories obtained by high scoring performances by Stinky and Elle Aura Ashe. The Lynx fought back and made the series a 3-2 competition, but in game six, Piston Maicupp and Elle Aura Ashe put the Aces up 4-2 in the game, and in the series, winning it for Las Vegas. Moving onto Miami, the Aces came in swinging hard, as in the first two games they won 4-2 and 3-2 respectively. In games 3 and 4, the goal scoring stayed above 3 per game, as the final scores of each were 3-1 and 3-2 respectively. With consistent goal scoring like this, it's easy to see how the Aces have managed this push. With their Finals opponent being the Reapers, the Aces are in for a tough series in which every game matters. Whether this offense continues to maintain pace or starts to slow down remains to be seen, but as they are down 2-0 in the series already facing off against an elite goaltender like Jorgen Lovstrom @Pifferfish, they have truly faced off against another juggernaut, and the series could honestly go either which way. We in Las Vegas have faith in our team and our chemistry, and our fans to push for the final stretch in this season, and hope to be hoisting the Founder's Cup over our heads by seasons end! Thank you for reading this *very hastily made* article, and we look forward to seeing you at Game 3 & 4 at Juan Ceson Arena tomorrow!

This is wonderful, I love how in depth you went with each series! Let's go Aces!

Always a pleasure to collab with ya! (Also claiming 2/2 because i'm lazy :P)
