Hogan

Maybe just shorten your name to Jcarson?

“Tfong” has not been a member of our league for years at this point. Yet to me and many others, “Baozi” is not a member of this league. For years, our head moderator was known in the league as Tfong, making the switch over to Baozi seemingly in late 2021. I have been in this league for nearly 5 years and have shared more time with Baozi then I have Tfong, yet I will always know the head moderator to be Tfong. I believe this is the case for many older members, and a cause of confusion for the younger ones. This week is all about rebranding, and I think rebranding yourself is the hardest thing you can do. TXC is a name that I used in the VHL for a brief period of time. I coined it after less than a year of joining and its original intention was to draw away from Hogan. Hogan was meant to be my player and I didn’t exactly know what I was doing when I created my player. I did actually receive many people calling me TXC, but as you can see, I’m Hogan again. Hogan never left people's minds, many still referred to me as it and I think now if I was still TXC many still would call me Hogan. In response to me telling Gorlab my name is no longer Hogan. Gorlab- “it is to me…and it always will be” N0h- “Calling you txc is just weird” As I learned from Gustav’s most recent 30 for 30. Instant Rockstar once tried to rebrand as “Goonie”. This was a few months before my time but it seems as if the Goonie name was shed very early, but late enough for him to get a VHLM GM job. Diamond Ace- “@beketov just so you know, the new member was actually ir the whole time” I believe the VHL’s most notable rebrand was one done by Kachur. Many know the legend of Horcrux, and those there to experience it know that the legend lives up to the stories. For those who don’t know, Kachur was an old member who was banned and generally not heard from in a long time. On the other hand, Horcrux was a huge piece in the current landscape of the VHL and the moderation team .Horcrux presented themselves as a queer woman, which we now know to not be anywhere close to the truth. Horcrux was only in the league for 2 months, Oct-Dec 2021. 59 Days in the VHL with 323 posts equally out to about 5 and a half per day. This number does not include the discord which would bring our totals up immensely. Around the middle of Horcrux’s time in the league, there was a large change in the COC, while not directly caused by them I believe they had the second largest hand in that whole scenario. But not all things last, shortly after Horcrux was found to be Kachur and was rightfully banned. I don’t want to bring up the specifics behind everything. Kachur was a horrible member who caused a lot of pain for numerous of our members and I do not wish to bring it all back up. In the end, rebranding yourself in the VHL is something that is so incredibly hard to do. Once members know you as one name or character, it will stick. But with true dedication I am sure it’s possible. Or in the case of Horcrux, pure delusion.

Never forget that I was Gustav's first official draft pick.

This is sick

Nearly a third of the way into the season, five teams currently sit above 30 points. In order of first to fifth we have Las Vegas, Ottawa, Halifax, Houston, and Saskatoon. Vegas is holding down their conference with 36 points, trailing behind is Ottawa with 33. Vegas and Saskatoon have played 23 games, while the other three teams only 22. It going to be a very tight race for first place in the league for the entire season. Wiith multiple teams racing for that first place position. The most interesting story in the race is the comparison of first place Las Vegas to fifth place Saskatoon. Despite having identical goals scored and only one more goals scored against for Saskatoon, the Wild have picked up five more regulation losses, while Vegas has lost in overtime four more times. If Vegas can keep forcing games into overtime and picking up those crucial points, its tough to see any other team gaining on them.

BUMPPPPP

This just in, two season starter and mainstay in the Las Vegas Aces, Hugo Boss, has just been traded to Ottawa to become their brand new starter. With the upcoming draft, it's clear both teams have a direction they want to go in. Ottawa also acquired some depth picks in the upcoming draft with a 4th and a 5th while Vegas got Ottawa's 94 1st round pick and a 3rd from Halifax. Ottawa is looking to be a top team this season, with many picks and the draft and now what could be a top goalie this season. While Vegas seems to be moving in the opposite direction, towards a tanking situation, stocking up on picks for next season. Boss last season had 37 wins, 18 regulation losses and 6 losses in overtime. He bolstered a .891 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA. With him in net, Vegas were able to make a deep playoff run, including a first round win against Ottawa, before being swept in the finals by the Reapers.

1. Every single one of them combined, take away the bad ones though. 2. Gustav, my first GM. That whole team was great but he was constantly there and I try to be as active in my AGMing as he was for me and the rest of Mississauga. 3. Basketball, only really got into it a few years ago but have become a big fan quick. 1. If you've already been drafted, do you think you were a steal? Just right? A bust? If you haven't been yet then what do you think you will be? 2. Who do you think makes the best graphics in the league? 3. If you could only do graphics, media spots or podcasts for the next year for TPE, which would you choose?
