5-3 Blades

Well, at least I scored...

Better tanks

Dear me those are some big words... Can anyone translate was Gow wrote?

Almost 40 goals, and I get 2 points

Buffalo, NY -- Asleep on the bus at 11pm, a young man is rocked awake by the lady sitting beside him. She mumbles to him that the stop he had mentioned earlier was coming up and that he would need to wake up. It was 11 pm in Buffalo, New York, and the young man was about to embark on the journey that would change his life. School had proved not to be an issue for French prospect Maxime Perron. After going quiet, worrying many General Manager's and scouts, Perron stated that he simply wanted to focus on his studies and get away from hockey. After being given the respect of time away from the great media wave that befalls current draftees, he made his journey to the VHLM Combine in Buffalo, New York. A 14 hour round trip from his home in Cambridge, Perron had planned to use the time on the bus as a way to get out of his head and into the mind of a GM on draft day. At 9:00 AM, he hopped on the Red Line train at Harvard Square Station that would take him to his first bus stop. Finding a seat alone as best he could, Perron settled in and focused. He looked at what he needed to focus on to bring his game to the next level, and what he could tell VHLM General Manager's if they asked him about his plans to better himself and his team. After an hour of working out his future plan, he received a phone call from Robert Gow, VHLM Head Commissioner, to inform him that he had made the Top Prospect Game for Team Europe. A broad, toothy smile permanently embroidered itself upon Perron's face for the rest of his train ride. After the phone call he sat back and relaxed until his first stop. When the stop came Perron transferred over to the Northeast Regional line for his first bus ride. One that would take him to New York, then a transfer that would take him north, to Buffalo. During the second ride Perron began to daydream about his future. He heard his name called by a VHLM GM -- first overall, obviously -- and saw himself dominating the league in his first year. While known to be humble on the outside, Perron was still a kid that would dream up his own future, one that included him in bright lights, and as the leader of a Cup winning team. All that Perron had hoped to focus on was forgotten about, and he fell asleep. At 11 AM he was tapped on the shoulder by a nice lady sitting beside him. He was in Buffalo, New York, ready to take the world by storm. This was where he would impress potential General Manager's at a small combine and interview weekend. He wasn't afraid of what was lying ahead, he already had dreamed up exactly who he wanted to become. And now he knew exactly what he wanted to tell General Manager's if they asked him. He wanted to be the best.

I'll take it

Ur no friend of mine

Being a student athlete was never a problem for Maxim Perron. He kept up on the Dean's List and was considered tops in his class despite devoting much of his time to playing and training for hockey. The French phenom knew it was going to be a difficult journey to end the school year, as he would have to take on the immense pressure of playing out the end of the season for the Yukon Rush, and balance the fine art of Harvard exams. To both his pleasure and disappointment Yukon missed out on the playoffs, which led to Perron flying back to campus in Cambridge to finish out his studies. Unheard of for two weeks, scouts began to get worried that he wasn't going to devote his full time to hockey, but the player assured GM's, scouts, and fans alike that he just wanted to finish school and then get into the VHLM. He would be back with a vengeance when he received his degree and actually had time to devote to hockey. With all that behind him, he is devoted 100% to the VHLM and success in the VHL. Preparing mentally and physically for the draft won't be difficult, he just hopes that his skill shines through and that he gets an opportunity at a good franchise

Had Patrick Johanson (about 500TPE I believe in the past). Claim 3, but I'm not sure how to check what he was at when I was finished with him. if I wasn't at 400, I'll claim 2

Here I feel like I have to have a job to stay on top of everything all the time. Back when I had Johanson I was the VHL mag cover artist (around edition 100-125 or something) and that really kept me active until I couldn't handle two leagues. On SHL I feel like I can be active even without a job because there is always something drawing me back in (not sure what exactly that it is). Also my VHLM LR over here has 3 pages this season, while my SMJHL team I GM over on the SHL has 200 pages. I feel like the help that is given to new guys over here is superior in every way, while getting new guys into the activity of the league, and getting them to enjoy posting and feeling comfortable to go out there and talk to guys is better on the SHL. Just my two cents

It's definitely the best place to start.

THE VHLM DISCREPANCY 8 regulations losses. 72 games in a season, and the Brampton Blades only lost 8 games in regulation. 2 more losses coming in overtime, but the team dominated the entire season. It's an astounding number by any standard, they won 62 games, and scored 384 goals in the season to clinch top spot in the league. The Blades scored 5.33 goals per game this season, a number that dwarfs that of the worst team, the Wild, who scored 169 goals this season, good for 2.35 goals a game. That is also not even the lowest amount of goals per game, as the worst team in that regard was the Watchmen. The Blades also only let in 153 goals this season, less goals let in than the Wild even scored all season. When you realize the Wild let in a whopping 428 goals, it becomes obvious that the league has a big gap between the top and bottom teams. In the East the three playoff teams all ended up with over 85 points. In first was the Oslo Storm who finished 2nd in the league, and the Royals and the Red Wolves battled most of the season for the 2nd and 3rd spots. However, where were the teams that missed out on the playoffs all together? Well they sit a mere 42 and 67 points back of ever making the playoffs in the first place. The league cannot seem to get a hold on the teams that dominate and figure out a way to make anything about the league exciting. Recently the league has put forward the initiative to decrease the amount of teams in the VHLM, but will it really help? Going into the seasons it is almost obvious right from the beginning who the top teams are. After you realize this, it is just figuring out which of the top 2 or 3 will make the finals and win. It usually isn't that difficult, and one can make a pretty accurate guess before the season even starts. Where does that leave excitement for players looking to break into the league? Why does a player have any interest in keeping up with the league if they already have a preconceived idea of what is going to happen? If a player gets stuck on a smaller team where the ability isn't strong enough to get the team into the playoffs, the compete level and the will to succeed get lost. There needs to be a way to get excitement and drama back into the VHLM, because right now it is stale and predictable. The discrepancy between playoff and non-playoff teams is too large and teams are spread too thin. Initiative to fix this is under way, but all hands need to be on deck to fix a league that has been neglected for some time. The VHLM is, frankly, boring.

After graduating, Maxime Perron's expectations were high. As he joined the Yukon Rush late in the VHLM season, Perron was expected to play at a high level and put up a lot of goals for the struggling team. Approaching 20 games this has not been the case. Repeatedly benched and reprimanded for his defensive play, Perron's confidence has been shattered. After starting strong with 7 points in 7 games, Perron has scored 5 in his last 10, including only 1 goal. A player whose goal scoring ability was touted coming into the league, he has disappointed many as he heads into his S43 VHLM draft. Deployment for Perron has been peculiar, as he has been deployed in the defensive zone to learn that part of the game, but his ice time has lacked because of his inability to compete in there. He has been described as looking like a child running all over the defensive zone, and has been told that he will need to work on that side of his game if he expects to ever play a game in the VHL. This came as a blow to the young centre, as in university he was relied on mainly in the offensive zone, and his offensive IQ was raved on about by his coach. Now he will need to turn to learning the defensive side of the game just to be able to get back into the offensive zone so he can use his greatest asset. His shot

#justmythologicalanimalthings

His first two games in the VHLM were disappointing, but Perron chalked that all down to very little playing time. He expected as he showed the coach that he was responsible throughout the game, that he would receive greater responsibility. Perron made it his goal to go out every shift and play it like it was his last in his 3rd game in the VHLM, showing the coach that he could handle the pressure and that he was a good choice for the first line centre spot on the squad. In game 3 Perron would go out and score a quick goal, the first of his career. He would get 2 more shots during the period, and help out defensively by going down to save an empty net and a sure goal. However he still only found himself playing 4 minutes in the period, and riding the bench a lot in important situations. During the 2nd Perron went out and scored 2 quick goals to take the lead back after the team let in 2 unanswered. Despite that he only played 5 minutes in the whole period, not being trusted much on the powerplay or penalty kill. In the third Perron would be restricted to 2 minutes of ice time for the rest of the game as the Outlaws tied it up. After a 3 goal effort in only his third game in the VHLM, Perron would sit for most of overtime and the shootout, leading him to question the coaches decisions to leave him on the bench. Perron was quoted as saying "Play me more, or just don't play me. I deserve to be given a shot" Perron currently has 3 goals and 1 assist in his first 4 games, while restricted about 12 minutes of ice time per game, compared to his teammates who receive 20+ minutes

Meet the Yukon Rush's Front Lines #9 | C - Jacob Winters Madison, WI, USA In Season 42, the Yukon Rush went up to the podium to select 29th overall. They selected a strong centre out of Wisconsin to bring some size and strength up the middle. Subsequently the Riga Reign had about the same idea, also selecting Winters 29th overall in the 3rd round of the Season 42 VHL Entry Draft. However, since his draft year, Winters has stagnated, unable to get a foothold in the VHLM, and definitely hasn't warranted a promotion to the VHL. Despite being the only natural centre on the squad for a majority of the season, Winters has not been trusted as the number one centre on the roster, instead playing in a secondary role. He has put up respectable numbers despite the lower playing time, but isn't going to make waves if he continues on this trajectory in his career #47 | C - Maxime Perron Saint-Étienne, France A new addition to the Rush roster, Perron has yet to play his first VHLM game. Only with the team until the end of the season, where he will join the VHLM Dispersal Draft, he looks to make a name for himself early on. Recently out of Harvard, Perron has a blend of hockey IQ and scoring touch that teams covet, and the Rush were lucky enough to get a claim on the kid before another team could. Expect him to get a few games in on the top line in Yukon to end out the season and watch out for him going into Season 43. #69 | RW - Doug Glatt Halifax, NS, Canada Doug Glatt declared for the VHLM slightly after the draft happened, but before the season started, making him eligible to be picked up for this full season. He will be a draft eligible player in Season 43 for both leagues, but he isn't showcasing himself as a force for the future of the VHL. Originally picked up by Ottawa, Glatt played a reduced role on a deep Ottawa roster. After only amassing 11 points in 27 games and a dreadful -13, Glatt was traded to Yukon along with a pick for George Patton. Signifying a move to a bigger position for Glatt, he started posting 20+ minutes a night. Since the trade Glatt has gone on to post 22 points in 28 games on the Rush. However, Glatt will have to do more to solidify himself as a strong choice for a team in the upcoming VHL Draft. #68 | RW - Alex DeLarge Yonkers, NY, USA A 33rd overall pick by Yukon in Season 41, DeLarge is now property of Toronto in the VHL but doesn't look to be on his way to making the team any time soon. Currently in his 3rd season in the minors, DeLarge has had a tough time putting up points, and has sat on the bench quite a lot this season, only tallying about 14 minutes a game. With 31 points in 55 games this season, he isn't exactly helping the team much up front. This isn't helped by the fact that he hasn't produced in the defensive zone, or been overly physical. DeLarge will have some trouble ever making it past the VHLM, but right now he is part of Yukon's depth #64 | RW - Markus Muller Cologne, Germany Yukon's bread and butter is German sniper Markus Muller. With 117 points in 55 games, Muller is dominate force driving the Rush offense. Drafted by his hometown of Cologne in Season 41, Muller has yet to actually break into the VHL. Unknown whether that opportunity will arise, Muller is trying to make a name for himself in the VHLM by leading the team by over 75 points. Watch for him to end out this season on a high note with the acquisition of Perron into the centre position on the first line.

Harvard, MASS -- After graduation from Harvard, and declaration that he was joining the VHL, Maxime Perron's name has been dropped into the waiver wire. He will be picked up to finish out the season with a team, and the team that has seemingly shown the most interest is a team out of the Yukon. The Rush's GM has had a history with Perron since his second year at Harvard, and has shown major interest in him, throwing in a claim very early after Perron's declaration. It has now been quite a long time, and other teams just haven't shown the interest that the Rush GM "Rami" has shown on the young sniper. While the 22 year old French center was expecting more interest after his fantastic senior season in Harvard, he says that he isn't going to let it get him down, and will just look towards making whatever team picks him up better. As the season winds down only time will tell if Perron can take the confidence of his senior season and put it towards leading his new team towards the playoffs.

The fact that Toffoli isn't getting suspended on the hit on Burrows is such fucking bullshit League agenda is obvious. Kings can't miss the playoffs, they can't lose that market Fuck this bush league

Maxime Perron - Intelligence Above All Else -------- Despite growing up in a country whose hockey program is next to none, Maxime Perron has shown top level ability from a young age. Son of Canadian born, Quebecois parents, the love of hockey was instilled in him from a very young age by his father. From the very start Perron showed that he had the ability to be a dominate force in the game of hockey. Not only did Perron display an ability in the game of hockey, but also posted the countries best score on the French "Baccalauréat" -- also known as "le bac" -- proving him to be one of the most intelligent young people in the country. This led to him receiving full-ride scholarship offers from some of the most prestigious universities in France. However, none of these schools appealed to him, and he decided he wanted to go to a school that he had dreamed of attending all his life in the Northeastern United States. Harvard. The school offered Perron a scholarship for a lower value than many of the schools in France, but he accepted immediately knowing that not only would Harvard give him a top tier education, but the school was outfitted with a hockey program. As soon as Perron moved over to the United States at the age of 18, he was placed on the Harvard roster. In his freshman season Perron would post respectable numbers, getting 15 points in 30 games from the 3rd line. In his sophomore season he was offered the assistant captaincy on the Crimson's roster, which he accepted along with a promotion to the 2nd line. After 25 points in 38 games and a spot on the Dean's list with a 4.0GPA, teams started to take notice of the young, budding star. His junior season at the age of 20 showed off his goal scoring prowess, and his ability to use his speed to get breakaways and pick any open spot in the net to blow one by the goaltender. He scored 23 goals in 38 games, adding on 12 assists for 35 points. His senior season was a breakout year for the French born sniper, where he was offered the captaincy by Harvard. As he finished up his studies in accounting, he posted 30 goals in 33 games along with 15 assists for 45 points, which would put him atop the leaderboard in the ECAC. After graduating with honors, Perron stated his intention to join the Victory Hockey League, by announcing he was entering the Season 43 draft. -------- 18 - Harvard (NCAA) 30GP 9G 6A 15P 19 - Harvard (NCAA) 38GP 16G 9A 25P 20 - Harvard (NCAA) 38GP 23G 12A 35P 21 - Harvard (NCAA) 33GP 30G 15A 45P -------- Soon, Perron will add VHLM totals to that list, and hopes that one day he will be dominating the VHL like he dominated the NCAA. Only time will tell if this kid will become a hockey star, or step away from the game, and use his education.

Who? I feel like he isn't worth writing a retirement thread on. Let's pretend he never happened

You were a 15 year old who spent too much time jerking off? I'm glad you got help

SHL is full of stupid wankers
