That is a fucking giant gif

Brother in Christ I think you’re over blowing it man. However, I am curious how they test this cause most AI testers detects that the US constitution is written by AI

Nabakov has been a surprise to me mostly. I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to end up top 5 in points (losing to Ivanov and another at the moment). I’ve been the sole provider of scoring for this team at F but if it means that some of the new guys are going to pump out some scoring, I’m freaking here for it. I think we have a scary ass team and I believe we can expect to beat out the other top teams in the playoffs as well if we maintain our form. The Jinns have been absolutely huge, as well as some of the TDL recreates. I’m excited to see how some of them develop as well. As I was saying earlier, we have a tough team and we could go deep this season if we continue earning as a team and superbly early into the week. Let’s freaking go. I’m kinda curious where I go in the draft. I know historically I’ve been wishy washy but I hope I end up in the first round. At minimum, I should be a welfare premium earner. At maximum, I’ll be a full time earner. Who knows? That’s what’s exciting! I sorta want to go for a cup considering it’s been a while since I’ve won one.

I’m just glad you’re back buddy!

HELP ME ANYWAYS

Everytime I write one of these, if I'm honest, I just get incredibly lazy about it. I generally don't even know what to write about but here I am, writing about something or the other. Yermolai has been cooking so far thanks to @Zetterberg's help. Now I need to get him cooking at the VHLE level which I'm sure Z will help me with right? Right? Leading the league in points was something I never expected this season at any point but now that we're here, I'm trying to just eclipse 200 TPE so I can jump up to the VHLE next season. I'd love to play in the VHL in 2 seasons so I don't plan to stick around the E much. Whats even going on up there? I genuinely have no idea. Who sucks whos good? I couldn't even tell ya man. Whatever, I'm here for the ride I guess. The VHLM has been fun to be around in, which is great. I think the VHLE would be a huge improvement if we treated it more like the AHL for the NHL teams. Players get drafted and boom, immediately in the AHL. Teams can still trade and draft but the second they're VHL drafted, they're outta the VHLM. Thats what could make the VHLE more exciting.

I am somehow maintaining my extreme activity by writing this. I have a feeling, it's just been a fun time for me to be back in the league so in a weird way, this is a pleasure to write. As you guys know, my current player Yermolai Nabakov, is in the VHLM so I'll be focusing on the VHLM all-stars this season. I hate to say it but the VHLE seems boring as I see 0 coverage for them. However, that's just an observation and maybe I'm just entirely wrong. Anyways, we should probably get to it right? VHLM All-Star First Team Left Wing - Forum Content @frescoelmo 29G/52A/81P +16 Forum Content has been blazing heat this season in Saskatoon and it's no surprise he would be. The frescoelmo agency has always popped out certified bangers of players and Forum Content is nothing short but that. He's been leading the points total all season long until just recently but it would be a surprise to nobody if he stepped into another gear and jumped into another level. We're excited to see where Forum Content can go in the draft as well as he's such an impressive prospect and we expect him to be the in the top 5 picks. Center - Antonia Bucatini @CowboyinAmerica 29G/30A/59P -22 Antonia Bucatini could be one of the most impressive players in the VHLM and the statistics aren't even supporting her. Antonia is another lottery pick in the upcoming VHL draft, in my opinion. Coming out of the CowboyinAmerica agency who also has been a well known commodity in the space, we can expect Antonia to explode when it comes time to head to the VHL/E. She's built to be a perennial top line center and is already somewhat showing it in the VHLM. She really can do almost everything possible. She already leads the league in face-offs won as well, which is a huge + for any team in the VHL. Right Wing - Yermolai Nabokov @fonziGG 37G/46A/83P +28 The surprise of the season, honestly. Nobody expected a player out of fonziGG's agency to really come out of the gates in the VHLM and strong arm. Actually, to be fair, their players tend to flop in the VHL but never the VHLM or VHLE. However, after seeing how Yermolai has been playing, we might see a useful player in there. They're big at 6'8" and extremely strong. Yermolai has been the engine of the Philadelphia Reapers this season and has even heard the coaching staff say he has captaincy material at higher levels. He wants to win and has been pushing his teammates to lead the way as well which is an intangible prospects don't usually have. Due to the agency of this player, we could see him drop out of the top 5. In fact, we could also see him drop out of the first round. Defenseman - Bric Sheithaus @Oldhead91 14G/58A/72P +19 Bric Sheithaus is from a newer agency in Oldhead91. What is most exciting about him is his ability to get down and block shots, leads the league in hits and is an intangible as a player. While they have been drafted to the VHL (Riiga) 3 seasons ago, it's no surprise he's been an all-star that has been included in this list. We hope to see more out of Bric and would love to see him at the VHL level. Defenseman - Enn Jinn @jhatty8 19G/52A/71P 78 Hits Lets just say, bro is cooking for a defender. 68 points is no feat and from the jhatty8 agency, we can expect only a great role player for the VHL. While they need some support, that doesn't mean that they won't turn out. I have tons of faith in this agency to get all cylinders firing and will be a huge contributor in the VHL pretty soon. 78 hits is also a great contribution on the defensive side. Lets hype out Enn Jinn cause he's going to be a legend. Starting Goalie - Jorgen Lovstrom @Pifferfish .920 SV% || 2.31 GAA || 35W/4L/3 OTL Lovestrom has to be the best goalie in the VHL at the moment. There is a reason Philadelphia is leading the league and while Nabokov and Enn Jinn are huge parts of that, I'd argue Lovstrom is the largest piece to the pie. Lovstrom is 1st in SV% and GAA with goalies who has played more than 20 games and is tied for 1st with SO's with 2. What makes it impressive is that he's faced the 5th most shots. Also he's got 5 assists so you know he's a certified banger of a pick for any team looking for a goalie for this statistic alone. Thats my all star team currently. I know there's barely any Las Vegas Aces representation but I find that their most impressive player has to be Bric Shithaus and unfortunately I don't think their top players beat out players like Bucatini, Nabokov and Content. Maybe Hugo Boss? But he doesn't beat out Lovstrom either. I'm sorry but yeah LVA isn't so impressive and if there's a huge influx of recruits soon, we could see them shedding some IA bums for players who are earning heavy TPE (considering the VHLM is about development not winning right guys?) Last but not least, I just want to say thank you to the community. A lot of you have been supportive of me coming back knowing I'll probably drop off into IA world again soon. Ya'll have been cool, especially the Philly family which gives a huge shoutout to @Lemorse7 as a GM. Can't wait to see what we do at TDL and I hope it's something BIG. Huge. Massive. All of the above. I want to see Philly go deep this season, mainly because I've never done well in the VHLM as a player (unless I'm misremembering so my bad). I'd like to notch a win title win which I think we have a surprising amount of availability to do this season. Ultimately, this is a developmental league so, lets all develop and I can't wait to see us kick off in the VHL together. 1024 words claiming for Feb 4 claiming for Feb 11

Philly Reapers Press Conference week ending Jan 28 2023 1. Who on this team has the best bench press in your opinion? 2. Who is your favourite Jinn and why are they all goated? 3. Who is your favourite NHL player currently? 4. Who is your favourite player from the VHL? 5. What do you think would improve your VHL experience? 6. What is your go-to chocolate bar?

I am going to win cup with Philly. I drag them to finals and I beat the living shit out of anyone who want to come to the finals. I respect them but I will fight everyone. Watch me win trophy and cup. I will do it alone if I have to. Hockey is team sport so I know my teammates very good but they must stand by me in the pursuit of the championship. We must fight and scrap for every inch on the ice. I am ready to body check and to pass the puck to open teammate. I am ready to shoot the puck and embarrass goalie if I have to. Even if it's sloppy goal, I will score. I love to score. I love to assist. I am here to win the game and be a champion. Thats who I believe I am. I am champion on the inside. I just have to put it on resume now. I am internalizing right now. I am champion of VHLM at end of season. If not, ofcourse I am upset but atleast we try. I just want to be able to say we try. The absolute bare minimum.

Awesome list. I think Forum Content is going to be a nasty player to play against in the VHL soon!

I have to say, Yermolai has been impressive these last few weeks. 17 goals, 25 assists and 42 points in 25 games has been a huge start to this season. Yermolai is only 3rd on the scoring charts in the VHLM after having an incredibly slow start to the season. Nabakov has been putting in the work heavily in the gym and has been coming to the practice facility early to get more acclimated with the North American ice. Yermolai has been on a scoring tear but he also loves to share the biscuit with his teammates so that everyone gets a little bit of love. "My style of game is to play hard, strong and win the game. I have to score or pass to let teammate score is ok as long as we win the game. Back in Mother Russia, if I don't work harder then everyone, well theres another guy waiting to take my spot. Everyone hungry back home, I'm just the hungriest. There is saying.. He who doesn’t take risks doesn’t drink champagne. I'm willing to take risk. I'm willing to do everything for team. No stagnant here. I'm here for VHL championship. I take VHL Championship soon. You watch me." Serious words coming from the Russian prodigy. He's been hungry I suppose, maybe we can get the guy a burger or something. The way he can dominate on the ice is impressive and I genuinely believe he's ready for the next step in the VHLE. I'd even argue he might be able to crack a VHL team soon. Who knows? He is a mentality monster after all. I'm super excited to see him get drafted this coming season as well, I'm curious who he goes to and how far he falls in the draft due to him and his agency being controversial. However, he has mentioned in the past that he would like to fall in the draft. "I fall or I climb, either way... I am here to win games. I am here to win VHL Championship. In order to do that, you must take a bet on me. I hope no team drafts me so I can select where I go. I want to go to team that will win me championship. I want to win. Take me in 7th round, I don't care. If you are not taking seriously as GM, I don't stay. I will go and I will be ruthless about it." It sounds like he's not the type of person who will hesitate at all about free agency. He knows what he wants and obviously Yermolai will thrive, the question becomes where? I can't see him going to many different European teams. I could see him in a team like LA, Seattle or Malmo. However, if the tide isn't right and they're not seriously competing, I can see him going elsewhere in order to win. I suppose he really wants to challenge for a title and win and honestly, I can see that being everyones end goal I just think he will be willing to rip the bandaid off.
