So Vegas is the first to be crushed

Error @Will

Backstrom reminds me more of good old Adam Oates than Francis but still similar player.

My hats in the rings if @Beketov opens my PM but many good candidates to choose from if they apply

Youve done a great job as GM/Simmer sad to see you step down. Helsinki will be different without you at the Helm

@MWHazard @STZ @MexicanCow @pennypenny @Beaviss @Arthur @Beerfridge

I dont think we will get an ego now. I think beating Pens unlocked our ability to just relax. This series against tampa is some of the best hockey ive watched us play in the Ovi era. Fluery has been amazing but hes also been a train wreck when against Ovi in his career. Either way certianly not a series i predicted i even had us going out second round again. But one ive been waiting 25 years for as a caps fan lol

40minutes just gotta keep playing with heart. Probably be drunk if we win, or lose if i dont have a heart attack first

Last year New York was upset, they just couldnt score. Rhett Degrath was and still in in my eyes the MVP of the league that season. Now we sit here, a totally differen team. Rayne sits second in league scoring for defense behind Ay Ay Ron, Well Jones sits 5th. Boeser, Keller, Savard, Komarov, Mcknight sit 3rd-7th in the entire league in scoring. Thats not to forget that Ike Arkander is the second best goalie behind King. The VHL has seen odder luck, but as it sits the Americans are the favourites to win it all. Unlike last season all the pieces seem to finally have clicked in. What is easy to pick out is likely who they will be battling. The Titans or the Bears both of whom have potential MVPs in Mcallister, and Cornerstone. Its no suprise, they are favourites though both are likely to sell next season seeing their windows close. Well the Americans are atleast 2 seasons longer.

Oh i hope so this team seems to finally be playing with some passion. Probably realizing their window is like a year maybe 2 left

I wouldnt count my caps out yet. Quite honestly the only reason Washington hasnt won this series in 5(game 3 was our only bad game). Is Vasy has stood on his head. Otherwise it have been a washington Vegas final alreay going on

Can only offer 3rd line atm but on a contender for rest of the year 1mill for now

1mill top 4 slot along side Adv on a contender

+5

i have all my new guys, weird that your trade still didnt happen though ?

Early sim damn i was just booting up to get lines in for today lol guess they will come tomorrow

That Komarov guys pretty good

Its actually true honestly for 1 TPE its not worth it for me. Well my english has vastly improved since i joined. It still takes me a few hours to write 500 words. When it takes me 30seconds to post on welfare for similar pay.

Saskatoon still flexing those muscules

2mill for top 4 on a contender not a pretender obviously if ur active like the you of old i can bump you up to the top 2

Go russia lol

I know ive been the same since i joined but if we want change they gotta accept it one of these damn days

I dont really put our problems on recruitment @Kendrick and @Beaviss have done good jobs. Our biggest issue is retention. Perhaps what might be a good idea is asking all these new fresh faces that rushing to sign up. What kind of issues they are facing, and then trying to tackle them. I feel as older members used to this league we dont really see the big picture always becasue this is all we have known for X amount of years.

Haha you kinda just got tasked with taking a team that had been on top for so long they were bound to fall off a cliff.

Im always getting hit with players asking why is my player updated on the forum but not the sim. When players dont see results right away they seem to be get scared away. I mean the youtube campaigns have been good for raising member count but retention of these members has been awful. A lot of new blood dont seem to know what to do, and dont see results right away and get discouraged. I have 2 actives from the campaign, which is about what we get every year. Most other VHLM teams at about 1 or 2 aswell. I feel an overhaul of how the site is laid out, or atleast a better how to maybe a video? Could help, even for example i could step up in this case and write an article that can be pinned to media area and the create a player area. About what to talk about for media articles.
