  1. Tough to really call Torbjorns season an improvement but overall it technically was. Up to 19 goals from 15, down to 10 PIMs from 29, shots blocked went up to 35 from 12 and notched a game winning goal this season. With that said, Torbjorn will now enter his fourth VHL season on yet another different team, this time back in Seattle after spending time in Malmo, Calgary and Davos. At this point Torbjorn may play a season on every team with the way things are headed. Honestly I wouldn't mind that but it's not ideal. At least this past season Torbjorn managed to put up 5 goals and 4 assists in 11 playoff games compared to just one assist in 6 games in Calgary. At the end of the day Halvar is just one point off of 100 and just crossed the 500 shot barrier. My player won't be anything special but as long as he's doing good work I'm happy.
  2. Well all things considered I can't complain with Torbjorns pace this season, he's managed to top his career scoring totals already as well as shots blocked as Davos is chasing Prague for first place in the conference. Davos sits six points back with a game in hand at nineteen to Prague's eighteen while on a nine game win streak, second to London's massive eleven game win streak! I wish I had more to complain about as honestly that makes writing these easier so I'll just have to ramble on a bit about other league going ons. As always the league has someone playing fast and loose with the rules as Warsaw has played double the amount of backup games necessary with a bot goalie in place, arguably a very distinct attempt at tanking and one thats working as they sit last in the league by eight points which is equivalent to if the won half of those extra eight backup games. Who knows what the league will do (nothing likely)
  3. Well unexpectedly Halvar Torbjorn has been traded twice in the same offseason, first from Calgary to Seattle, where he signed a one year deal and then a one year extension only to be traded from Seattle to Davos just a day after that. While not his preferred way of spending his offseason but landing on Davos is a good feeling for the unsettled Torbjorn. "Well admittedly I wasn't expecting to be traded from Calgary to Seattle in the first place but the GM came to me and let me know I'd be moving to Seattle prior to FA. I talked with the Seattle GM and was happy with how that went and signed there for a season. He came to me a few days later to see if I'd roll another season beyond that and I thought why not. Then a day later I get notified by my agent that I'm moving to Davos which I wasn't expecting but I got on the phone with the Davos GM the following day and we got to talking pretty quickly an he seemed pretty happy to pick me up." All GM's acted in good faith and this writing is for fun
  4. Halvar Torbjorn has been sent off to Seattle where he quickly locked in a one year deal with GM Blake Campbell. Torbjorn has seen a new team in each of his seasons this fair after seeing his first playoffs with Calgary last season we will have to see if he gets more time in with Seattle. Torbjorn had 7 PPGs last season as he worked as a specialist and saw his first season in a positive plus minus ratio. He missed one game somehow as he disappeared to drink during the season it seems missing a home game after the loss of his dog. Torbjorn will be looking to pick up pace this season as he works on his game to bring a new breath to Seattle and their long line of players and history of championships and playoffs under their reigning GM. Excited to see how this season goes, but also want to take er slow. Let's get winning either way
  5. That's it, that's the post. Best of luck to the amazing core that is in Helsinki currently, I wish you all the best with the future! Thank you to all the GM's I've worked with over the past many seasons, it's been a treat!
  6. Halvar Torbjron has been doing very little to help Calgary as they try to climb out of their first round deficit, but with that said he' s also not doing too much harm. He is a team worst -3 in the playoffs but has managed 7 hits and taken zero penalties in 129 minutes played. Torbjorn is playing low event hockey which is ideal but needs to step it up if he wants to help Calgary get out of this slump and extend their run into the deep end. Calgary managed to split the first two games on the road which should've been ideal, but dropped both games at home including an OT loss in game four to put them down 3-1. The Wranglers are showing signs of life at least as the demolished Vancouver at home 5-1 outshooting them 51-21 and going 3 for 5 on the power play while holding Vancouver to 0 for 5.
  7. Well the short answer is really not much. That said @failed the king has been officially promoted to Assistant General Manager in part thanks to some prodding from Helsinki's team captain @Ricer13. Welcome to the big leagues to him! Helsinki will officially select in the top two of a very strong draft and I'm very excited for that even if it's not where we want to be. We have the assets to turn things around if the market is as rumored this offseason. Chip Stone has been a great player for us putting up Point per game pace and 35 goals, Dixon also well up there with 31 goals. Our problem is depth scoring and depth strength in general which we plan to solve in due time. If Probert and Dixon could stay out of the box that might help too. Oh and Torbjorn has been doing better on Calgary, same points pace but PPG's and a +21 instead of a -24
  8. Our interactions may have been limited but always sucks to see someone leaving the GM group. Well done on your tenure and best of luck in your future endeavors!
  9. GM burnout from those pitches were quite high, I'm surprised the change wasn't sooner honestly
  10. Frosty is still legend as always, glad you're back
  11. Well two steps forward and three steps back is the title of this season and how things have gone. Sometimes shit just goes wrong and you gotta roll with the punches. We sent Maellard away at the TDL and have accepted that the season isn't going to go the way we want. Helsinki has shifted focus to next season with a lot of picks to work with and a core that's locked up for the long run so the focus is on getting good for them. In other Helsinki Titans news, @failed the king has been hired on to the team as the Assistant to the General Manager to replace Sam who stepped away for a GM role elsewhere. First time having a newer user as the hired hand but happy to help train up a potential future GM Anyways maybe some news outta Helsinki in the next couple weeks, trade markets look promising
  12. Hi All, With @samx stepping down to be a GM, Helsinki Management has an opening once again. This obviously means I'm looking for a new AGM I'll be looking for someone who can help out with pressers, draft scouting and interviews, trade knowledge, lines and locker room presence. If this is of interest to you post here or hit me up on discord for a chat!

    Now

    No clue what to title my miscellaneous rambling so all you get is now. @samx is a nuisance and went and got a GM job so shame for that but also it was expected with how smart she is. So for the time being I'm back to being a one man show in Helsinki. We're off to a bad start but it could always be worse. We'll have to do something about it soon and hopefully we can figure out some things to get the ball rolling there. First start is defence to shore up the empty slot, then it's on to scoring as we have just eight goals in five games, hard to help out a goalie when both of those are happening. At least Dixon and Probert are on a roll and steam rolling a lot of the players in the league. Anyways that's enough of that mumbo jumbo of me rambling so see you next time

    Bleh

    Well Helsinki helstunk as the season closed out on us. It's on me, couldn't figure out how to get the lines rolling despite the big increase in talent we somehow went worse for wear. It'll be a tough one to wear but onward to the offseason now. We're looking to improve and push into a competitive window but youth and building come first, we need to not spend too heavily as it could cost us the long run at things and end up being a short swing for the fences. Not a bad idea but way to early to be thinking about that. Our roster looks solid with a few holes to plug, bringing in Dok already makes the team feel better and he'll get along just fine with the crew. Always excited to bring an ex teammate around to the team, especially one whos been to the chip and won a few times. Now to plug more holes
  15. Our death has been greatly exaggerated. Helsinki while not having the strongest of midseason's it's also not a big concern for us. 5-3-2 in our last 10 while not great means we are managing 12/20 possible points, ideally we'd like to be getting more than that and we'll be trying to swing things in our favour again soon. I'd like to see us limit our PIMs a bit more but we're doing okay handling the ensuing PKs from it. Helsinki is looking to make trades still to upgrade their team but will be remembering that this core is still very young and the window to compete is only just starting. With the goalie spot set for the future Helsinki will be looking to upgrade their offence and defence cores instead. I'm happy to see this core doing so well so early on, we know it's still early on and lots can happen in the last 30ish games but our goal of fighting for a playoff spot is well under way already.
  16. The Helsinki Titans continue to show that it isn't a fluke with their success as they continue to sit in the top realm of the league. This is a major jump from the dead last placing last season as we have already pass our wins and points totals from last season in half as many games. Newly acquired players Ryuji Sakamoto and Baxter Arcanum have been settling in well as Sakamoto is averaging two shots blocked and hits per game while Arcanum has a PPG and is averaging 1.5 shot blocks per game. Helsinki's scoring is well spread out as five players have over ten goals with another at nine, and four players have broken the thirty point marker. Godlander has a tied league lead for goals, Probert sits 9th in points, 4th in hits as well as 2nd in PIMs. Helsinki special teams is looking good as well as they lead the league in PP% but sit 13th in PK%, something to be looked into.
  17. Well, I thought Helsinki would be competing for a spot in the playoffs but this hot start was even faster than expected. Helsinki is off to a 11-5-1 through 17 games, just two wins shy of our last seasons total wins and already a win beyond our last seasons ROW. There are week spots for us but all in all its going well since we're sitting middle of the pack at 8th on PK% and even better at 5th for PP%. The concerning part of that would be being third in the league in PIMS. I'm proud of this team and the roster as we are charging up the standings and will be aiming for higher than a wildcard spot at this point. All our newly acquired players are playing great as Godlander, Fire and Probert are all in the top 5 for team points while our younger folks of Kardashian and Dixon also crack that. Super excited to see how these players stand up over the course of the season.
  18. The Helsinki Titans have distinctly changed their direction after last seasons near historic tanking in an attempt to get first overall in the draft. The team has called up rookie defenceman Kronchy Kardashian as well as resigned its three core pieces to long term contracts as Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes and Fuukka Rask all five year deals and were recently announced as the captaincy crew for the upcoming season. The Titans look to build on this strong youth core with newly acquired Titans such as Nils Godlander, Matty Fire, Marcel Janser, Jack The Ripper and Mo Probert. They strengthened the prospect pool for the future as well, taking Owen Lazaro with the 9th overall pick and Legacy Gaming with the 12th overall pick in the first round. Look for this pair to be pushing for roster spots in the upcoming seasons to plug the forward gaps as the old guard head to their retirement homes.
  19. Your Helsinki Titans Captains for the upcoming season are: Captain: Daryl Dixon @Ricer13 Assistant: Fuukka Rask @Jubis Assistant: Rick Grimes @tinafrombobsburgers
