  1. The year is 2019 and the city of Stockholm, Sweden finds itself under attack from forces so monstrous, so powerful, and so deadly, that the very future of humankind is at stake. There is one glimmer of hope for humanity, and that glimmer beams off of the steel helmet of Jet Jaguar, the cybernetic robot constructed by the brightest minds on earth, as their last shot at survival. He is the man that stands between death and redemption, between evil and justice, and between life and death. This is his story. After experiencing a lengthy heat wave through the spring season, monolithic rock-like objects started washing up on the shores of Europe and North America. World-renowned scientists were puzzled. No one could answer where these huge cocoon-like structures came from, how they had remained dormant in the ocean without detection, nor what caused them to suddenly washing up onto land. Many speculated that they were remnants of an ancient, extinct civilization. Others thought that they were a byproduct of the high levels of pollution that was ushered in by the industrial age. However, nobody could prove their origin. Not until the day they emerged and changed the Earth forever. As the summer of 1971 went on, these skyscraper-sized rocky husks continued appearing, and an unprecedented heat wave continued to plague the Earth. It all came to ahead on the morning of July 1, 2019, when the first of the VHLaiju, massive creatures who stood hundreds of feet tall, appeared. It was the original and most famous King of the Monsters, Nyazilla. He appeared on the east coast of North America, and brought with him destruction the likes the world had never seen. His rampage through the eastern seaboard was devastating and the loss of life, unprecedented. It wasn't before long that another VHLaiju emerged from the ocean. It was HC Davothra, the flying monster, who first appeared in Europe. Before long, many other VHLaijus, or Vaijus as they becamed known as, appeared on earth bringing humanity to it's knees. Wrangdan, Meutati, SeaBira, Leig Toryanso, Titanus, and Rigakaisu were the remaining Vaiju who had shown themselves on Earth. They've destroyed most signs of civilization and have reduced the human race to thousands spread across the ravaged planet. The King of the Monsters - Nyazilla Deep within a cave in Dnipro, Ukraine, was a small colony of Japanese scientists and scholars, who had hypothesized the Vaiju invasion months before it happened. Despite their accuracy, they were mocked and ignored for such an outlandish theory until it was too late. Within this cave, the men had been busy with the design and construction of a final hope for the survival of the Earth. A never-before-seen mix of technology and long-forgotten Ukrainian blood magic had been harnessed to construct a warrior capable of battling the Vaiju. It was a machine built in the image of man. This was the birthplace of Jet Jaguar, cybernetic hero of the universe. His suit made of an unbreakable metal alloy, his circuitry and protocol components were manufactured from pieces of the mysterious metallic rock debris that has been appearing before the Vaiju. The researchers and scientists theorized that the only way to possibly defeat a Vaiju was by harnessing the mechanics of the popular sport ice hockey. They had designed Jaguar with super-sonic speed and retractable titanium sole-blades for optimum surface-tension on ice. His chest-plate and shoulder guards were tuned for optimal slap-shot power and quik-release wristers. His most powerful weapon was has advanced artificial intelligence. Legend has it that Jaguar's AI complex was programmed using equal parts of the mental profiles of ice hockey legends Niklas Lindberg, Tom Slaughter, Aksel Thomassen, and Scotty Campbell. This once-in-a-century ice hockey ace was born of machinery and technology. It was this creation of man that would be their chance at salvation. Their change to defeat the Vaiju and restore their way of life. The battles that Jet Jaguar would go onto wage became things of Legend. His campaign began in mainland Europe where he defeated both Rigakaisu and Titanus. Word of his victories began to spread through the surviving human resistance against the monstrous invasion of the Vaiju. His hat trick against HC Davothra, including a last-second overtime winner, was heralded as a key moment, and turning of the tide, in mankind's war against the Vaiju. Once Jaguar had successfully defeated HC Davothra with his clutch goal scoring ability, he had set his sights on upgrading his systems and weaponry, including a puck handling re-design by his development group, in order to travel to North America and fight the Vaiju who were still wreaking havoc on that continent. However, just as his upgrades were completed, two more Vaijus invaded Europe. It was Moscowthra and Stocktron. They both appeared in Sweden and destroyed what was left of the city. Jaguar headed there at once, where another legendary moment would unfold as Jaguar took a stretch pass from his own end, before splitting the defenses of Moscowthra and Stocktron before sniping an unbelievable snapshot, bar down, for another hard-fought victory. His ability to get pucks deep and play the cycle was invaluable in his penalty kill scenario as he battled the two newest Vaiju at once. Europe was finally free from the tyranny and destruction of the VHLaiju. The survivors began to rebuild their cities, and Jaguar knew it was time to cross the ocean and rescue the last remaining members of human-kind who were still embroiled in the VHLaiju war. HC Davothra - The Flying Vaiju Will the mighty Jet Jaguar be able to vanquish the rest of the VHLaiju monsters who have destroyed most of the world? Will he be able to handled the strongest of them all, the King of the Monsters, Nyazilla? That part of the story remains to be written, but one thing is for sure, Jet Jaguar will stick to playing his game, working hard, and getting pucks on net, as he continues to be the last hope for all of mankind. Go, Jet Jaguar! Go!

  5. I ain't signing shit. Romeo + Juliet is fire.
  6. Europe is officially a country!
  7. 1. Julius Freeman has led the team in points this season, putting up almost 100 with 3 games to go. What do you think is the secret to his success? Freeman is a stud, so I'd say that his secret to success is his raw natural talent... also his deployment/usage is pretty good, so the coaching staff has some part of that success. 2. In your opinion, who are the VHLM MVP Candidates this season and who deserves the trophy most? Probably Hunter Hearst Helmsley? Leading scoring, pretty much carried Yukon himself. If I had to bet, it would be on him. Maybe Freeman and Jagr as 2 and 3. 3. As S65 comes to a close and you head into your last few weeks with your many of your teammates, what have been your best memories with this squad and how will you spend your remaining weeks with them? Playing on Halifax has been pretty fun. I've embraced my role on the team, and am ready to go on a deep playoff push with the boys. There are some good teams in the VHLM playoffs, but I think we have a chance against anybody if we can play our A game. 4. Halifax had a drop in point production at the end of the season. What went wrong and what needs to change for the playoffs? Probably not playing Jaguar and Freeman together enough. 5. How do our odds look heading into the post-season? I wouldn't exactly call us favourites, but I think we have a chance against anybody. Over a 7 game series, I think our depth is enough to win us the games we need to make it deep in the playoffs. 6. Halifax GM McWolf announced he will be resigning once the season is finished. Do you have any last messages or words to say to him? In my opinion, we should win him a cup before he retires. Would be a fitting way to end the reign of the GM that brought this team so far. Thoughts on this? I'm down to win a cup for him, but IMO you shouldn't trade away all your picks and then step down the next season. Good luck to the next GM, i guess. I'll be in the VHL, so no sweat off my ass.
  8. I can't tell the difference between a PC and a forum sig.

  12. Europe could be nasty in this tourny tbh.
  13. You honour me.
  14. 1. In the latter half of the season now and, while Halifax and Minnesota are quite a few points ahead, there is just 4 points separating 3rd and 7th, which of those five teams (Aces, Bulls, Lynx, Rush, Wild) do you think will finish highest at the end of the season? HAL and MIN are the clear top two here, but for the next 5 teams, I think the front runners are probably the Aces and the Rush. So i'd rank them Aces, Rush, Lynx, Wild, Bulls, if I had to choose. 2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament? I was selected to Team Europe and I think we have a pretty decent shot at upsetting USA/CAN and winning the tournament. We have a lot of young prospects, but the potential of the team is really high. A lot of this WJC's Team Europe roster will be VHL superstars in the future. 3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team? Probably Codrick Past. A real gentleman of the game and a quality player. I hope to get some ice time with him, because he has a great breakout pass that I think would work well with my game as a forward. 4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season? Probably not. I like what he's done at NXT and I think he's underrated in terms of all-time wrestling greats. His runs in Degeneration X as well as the Corporation, are really underrated. A lot of people attribute the success of the Attitude Era to Austin and the Rock, but I think HHH played just as vital of a role. 5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.) I'll give a shout out to @cody73 . He's a good guy, is active in the LR, and embraces his role on the team. He's helped me by being defensively responsible on the ice, while always working hard imo. 6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. I'm currently re-watching the Game of Thrones series, before the final season begins on April 14th. GoT is definitely one of, if not THE, greatest drama in the history of television. Even though watching season 1 to 7 takes like 4 IRL days, it's definitely worth the watch.... Either that, or THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.
  15. Past has TRUCULENCE and other intangibles.
  16. I see I haven't covered my tracks well enough....
  17. Oh... Does anyone mind if I tell him to come back and recreate?
  18. boubabi and kendrick should be unbanned from VHL. Change my mind.
  19. CAN WE COPYSTRIKE UPHILLMOSS ?!?
  20. Next order of business: unban boubabi
  21. Salutations VHL, I am here to present the VHL with a sneak peak at 3 of the top sleeper picks of the S66 draft. I would definitely suggest that you @ your GM in this thread to make him aware of this highly controversial information. As a sim league veteran, I have developed a powerful eye for talent, and thanks to the current S66 Draft Theme Week, I am leaking my top 3 sleeper picks for the FIRST TIME EVER. Do not miss out on this information. The contents of this thread are highly explosive and will help your VHL franchise become the next dynasty. Without further adieu, I give you gorlab's top 3 sleeper picks for the S66 VHL Entry Draft: #3 Chico Smeb | Minnesota Storm | LW | 6' 3" | 220 lb. A dynamic skater and playmaker, Chico Smeb comes in at my #3 sleeper draft pick. Despite being somewhat buried on a star-studded Minnesota Storm lineup, Smeb has both the physicality and hockey IQ needed to become one of the top power forwards in the VHL. At 6'3", 220 lbs. he is a massive specimen, but has the skating ability and edge work of a world champion figure skater. He is both graceful and powerful and my scouting report lists him as an absolute gym freak. If you are looking for a winger who can take over a game on both ends of the ice, Smeb is the pick for you. #2 Hiromu Takahashi | Ottawa Lynx | D | 5' 7" | 194 lb. Despite a slow start and some reported chemistry issues with his former team, the Minnesota Storm, Takahashi still has all the makings of a top 4 d-man who can quarterback the power play. With his recent move from Minnesota to Ottawa, which comes with a sharp increase in playing opportunities, I have no doubt that Takahashi will cement himself as a top prospect in the S66 entry draft. Do not let his small stature fool you, because the 5'7" d-man is a great puck mover and has an INTeresting sense for the game. His vision and decision making is top notch at both ends of the ice. Takahashi is a player who may slip into the later rounds, and will be a steal for any team who drafts him. #1 Codrick Past | Minnesota Storm | D | 6' 0" | 190 lb. Seeing the name 'Codrick Past' on a sleeper list may be a shock to some people, as the dominant defenseman has been torturing forwards all season long in the VHLM and is undoubtedly a first round lock, but I am still including him on this list because the hype for this player is really just that massive. A definite top-pairing player who can log big minutes defensively while contributing on the score sheet, Past has the raw talent to become a franchise player. Some scouts have questioned his work ethic, but in my opinion, he should be selected within the first few picks of the draft. It's possible that the concerns about his reported laziness could cause him to fall into the 5th-10th range, but I am confident he will make a big impact on whichever team that is lucky enough to select him. Thanks for reading and see you on draft night!
  22. @xDParK ofer helped me choose the render, hope you like it.
