  1. Askarov is happy, with how his team has played. However, he himself is very much not happy with his own play. He feels he is not stopping enough shots. However he has made sure, he does not quit an at least is making sure he is keeping his team in most games. He will keep pushing an working on himself. As he is focused on the big picture an winning the cup. He sees Halifax, and Saskatoon as his biggest obstacles in accomplishing that goal. The Hounds keeper will not be happy until he captures the hardware. Before he graduates next season to the VHL. He has been a star for where he was picked, and Calgary is very lucky to have nabbed him at 41st overall. Time will tell just what the future holds for him. However he is focused on winning the cup for the Hounds at this very moment.
  2. Rest of the season 0 more losses losing is for the weak Cup or bust we can not do any worse or its a lost season when your a contender. Team owner would be cool, can fire your GM if hes not doing well. Could impact player signings and draft prospects. Uhh i dunno never really celebrated halloween Halifax, the other contender in my opinion. Wings vs Avs was a ton of fun a long time ago when they were really good. Now i guess its Caps vs Pens or Pens vs Flyers.
  3. The offense as a whole, but Taro has been good if i had to pick a player. Need to find a better groove, but we did have a very good run. Just keep pushing forward Lightining have been the Sharks for awhile, in terms of losing when they are contenders. Everyone active why pick one when we are going and doing well. Cold you can bundle up to warm up. When your hot all you can do is get naked an pray. None, i dont have time im only here because i enjoy this league.
  4. Can someone move this lol i dunno why i put it here. Was rushing its a VHL.com article
  5. The Hounds have not hit the ground perfectly. Sitting 4th in the league right now. Just recently they got smoked by the Wild. Askarov stated his performance was not good enough. He has completed his development for the Hounds and now hopes the rest of his roster can really develop, and the team turns it up as the roster heads towards the 2nd portion of the first half of the season. The Hounds are a serious contender, they know it. Time will hopefully fix their issues as they try to push further up the standings. Askarov has been very streaky its unclear if it is him or his own play. Time will tell as the season winds on farther. He will hold himself accountable, as he feels goalie is the most important position in hockey. He can not slack off now, he will continue to put in work despite being overlooked by VHL GMs.
  6. I mean was Evgeni really a bust tho? Ya i didnt play for you but i was a fairly active 3rd round pick till real life hit,and you got more for me then you paid Kazimir was def a bust tho
  7. Long hectic, lots of communication issues with my VHL team. Still havent heard a peep from my GM ? We did fine, early results show we need to tighten things up and bury the puck a bit better though. Askarov needs to be a star but hes not been great to start. Offense i think L and R plus Hjalmarsson we okay at defense. Defense improved the most in the draft in my opinion. I dunno one that ends this pandemic hahah so whenever it ends will be my favourite season
  8. 9/10 Its pretty with im assuming a jpop star? For pics. Articles are well broken down and its easy to read. Solid review of your career so far, as you aim to be a stud again im sure.
  9. 7/10 Could be a bit prettier, but its easy to read. With each pick being analyzed well, and displayed for us to read.
  10. With the season coming soon Askarov is close to cap this week he will end 7 from cap. The Hounds who were one of the worst teams naturally as the VHLM go, will be a much better team ideally a top team along with Halifax. The Hounds draft looks solid on paper, hopefully that translates too success on the ice. 4th overall is Taro, a solid top line center he will be heavily counted on. From Gustav agency, a solid agency. 8th overall is L, who will be their top pairing defender expect him to log big minutes. He comes from another respect agency in Gorlab. 11th overall is William, he will play along side Taro on the top line. He is a first gen, corgi agency but he looks like a solid pick. 16th overall is TPE, who likely finishes the top pairing assume R is not traded for. Another first gen in, Golthius who again appears to be a solid new member for the league. 20th overall is Dan, the man who will finish the top line on the right side. I believe another first gen, in MMFLEX who has shown to be another new blood who could be good. We start to see the rest of the roster, Tate should be the second line center, and Hjalmarsson a second pairing defender. The rest of the picks might be hit or miss, like New Player who at least appears to be active recently. Things are finally looking up for the team this year an hopefully be a fun season.
  11. Russian playing in Canada Drafted 48th overall, in season 73 the Russian goalie prospect. Is the first of his kind, for the gooningitup agency. Standing in at 6 foot 6 and 220 pounds he suited up for all 72 games for the Hounds in season 73. He is expected to once again, join the Hounds this season as they hope to be a much better team this upcoming season. He hopes to be a starting goalie for a team who can potentially win a cup. If the Hounds slip or falter at anyway, expect Askarov to ask to be moved. However, he has managements word that this season will be much better. They own 3 firsts, 2 2nds, and multiple picks in basically every round. With smart drafting the team will be a much better roster, then the team he played for last season where he had to carry the team to the win colum almost every game. In 72 games, Askarov was the goalie to face the second most shots on goal with 2366 shots against. He trails only Poremba who in my opinion was last years VHLM MVP. His work load was insane, but he never showed signs of slowing down. He only got better, as the season went on. He hopes, that with a lesser work load he will actually improve even more often goalies get worse when their work load drops off. Combined with his work load came the 4th best sv% in the entire league an 895% and the 6th best GAA 3.46. If he can stop pucks at the same rate he did last season with lesser work load, likely means a drastic improvement in goals against. That just shows how impressive he has really been, and he hopes to be the top goalie next season. With the team improving in front of him, now is the time to shine an prove the teams who passed on him just how wrong a choice they made. He is also angry an eager to prove to VHL GMs that it was a piss poor choice to pass on him. He was allowed to fall to 41st in the VHL draft despite coming in near the top half of the draft, an ready to cap first week of the season start. He is excited to continue his VHLM career next season which is his last. After that the big question is where is his role in the bigs. As Calgary still has their starter for a long time.
  12. Why you screwed up not drafting Askarov Hailing from Russia, Vsevolod Askarov is the first ever non Komarov from goonings agency. He also is the first ever goalie. Standing in at 6 foot 6, and 220 pounds he fills the net, which is something teams always look for in a goalie. He was just recently drafted in the 3rd round by the Calgary Wranglers 41st overall. He looks to prove that falling that far is insane, and teams who passed on him or chose another goalie over him were silly. He will go back down to the Hounds next season where he should be a starter for one of the best teams in the league. PROS of Askarov Size- At 6 foot 6 he takes up the net, and he knows how to use his size to his advantage. For someone his size he is extremely athletic. Which should be very advantageous for the team who has him in net. Composure- He has solid control of the style he plays, and is able to read and react to the plays properly because of it. Hand Speed- You wont be able to beat him up high very easily, he is able to react an have the limb movement be quick enough to stop the elite snipers of the league. Rebound control- His last strength is his ability to control, rebounds and knock them away better to avoid, easy kicked out goals. CONS of Askarov Penalty Shot- Try not to get to penalty shots when he is in net, well his size may help. He is just not good at handling this type of pressure in 1 on 1s Skating- It is not a big deal for a goalie to struggle in skating. After all they basically just have to stand on their own 2 feet an make a few pushes. Could use some tweeking however later down the line after he graduates. Puck Control- If Carey Price is the god of goalies handling the puck, Askarov is the slave. He just can not be counted on to touch the puck at all. He will not start a quick break out, hes more likely to get himself scored on. The Wranglers really have themselves a gem, i feel well he has flaws like many players. He is a player who his weaknesses really are not a huge deal for a goalie in this day an age. He will need to refine penalty shots, maybe skating but end of the day the main things you want in a goalie he has in spades.
  13. My first draft cuz well first time best time lol. Long time ago now. Yes falling to 41st despite being close to VHLM cap is insane. Goalies 3 active goalies, you guys for some reason picked so got great goalie depth now. Likely making a goalie, but im committed now. I am a rookie so no ? probably weird that calgary added so many assets that just led to drafting so many goalies as GM had to leave and BPA.
  14. Nvm was a 3rd lol
  15. Im 20ish TPE behind u an you started weeks before me,not like im earning piss fuck all lol. Im earning cap or close to cap every week
  16. Falling in the draft despite being a top TPE earner was expected. I was a goalie, a position that only a few teams needed, and technically 2 out of 3 filled that position. The one not filling their position is New York who have a 250 TPE goalie whose semi active. I kept falling even farther than i expected too though. What is worse, i found out im not even actually picked the only reason im in Calgary is the GM was tired, and went BPA for the rest of his picks. Which resulted in them picking not 1, but 3 goalies. I wont be sticking around after 3 seasons. Not because i hate Calgary or that, im mad at their GM. The reason i wont stay is im not needed. They have their goalie for 5 more seasons, im not going to play back up forever. This season i will start for the Hounds. If possible the season after they might be smart to move on from me. It really sucks, ill admit to know my shot at the HOF is gone already. I likely wont start till at best my 3rd season in the VHL. If Calgary cant find a fit i might be stuck till im on my prime before even getting a shot. Ive put in more time than any other player, im earning at a rate i didnt expect to maintain. Sadly its going to be wasted, and as i will be done in this league as this was going to be my swan song.
  17. He knows he will be a Hound next season. He has not crossed the cap, and he will not unless the offseason is crazy long for some reason. However, he has his sites on the team whom he hopes to call home for the other 7 seasons of his career. Will he jump right in after next season as a starter for an expansion team? Or will he be groomed to replace an aging vet at some point in the near future. One thing GMs should take note of is that 0 players in my career have earned at the TPE rate Askarov has. Not even Sergei was earning 10 Capped TPE a week. He is determined that, he wants to go out with a bang. Aiming to be one of the best goalies in his entire draft class. He aims for the HOF he hopes, and its a strong motivation for him. Which is where it will get interesting if he does play back up role for a few seasons. Only time will tell but you can see the excitement, as he counts down the days till he gets to hear his name called in the VHL draft. Who will grab this steal, who has really put in work, but will likely fall due to his position.
  18. 8/10 Best of luck to all the Wild in the VHL this season. Cool break down of your time with the team. And very organized, good solid content.
  19. 10/10 Good content, big break downs of the awards and who could win. Very pretty looking, and well organized
  20. John Poremba @CrlineDijohn14 carried the Reapers, his 921sv% is top of the entire league by a wide margin his 3.21GAA site 6th overall which given his shots totals which sits first overall as well is amazing. The definition of MVP is most valuable player, and if you take Poremba off the Reapers, they probably are among the worst records in the VHLM instead of tje playoffs. He is the Taylor Hall of 2018, which everyone is still butt hurt about. His back is sore from carrying, the entire team. Lots of goalies, would have given up and just put in a lazy effort. However Poremba came to work every day, and stopped as many pucks as he possibly can. Not only was he the best goalie in the entire VHLM this season, but the league MVP. Calling those jokers who screwed up the Defender of the year award. Dont screw this one up.
  21. Gotten me more support i was a ship alone on an island. I woulda carried us to winning the cup but the lack of support didnt help me. None, other sports bore me They are good considering the fact, we had no support minus a few guys who came an went. Owning a company keeps me busy Ive been through it all, at this point so i dunno i just play.
  22. Ouuu pretty thanks @Patrik Tallinder
  23. What can we do unless your trading Askarov you have no chips to trade. Everything minus the goalie. We have nothing on offense or defense to build on. What the hell can you do this summer goverment keeping us locked in our homes lol. I mean i dont really care just someone who needs me. That goalies need support or they suck ? i guess 5 shutouts playing for a bad team?
  24. The Hounds have been downright poor. Sure they hold the last playoff spot right now. However that is not thanks to anything most of the Hounds roster is doing. Its more a statement of how pathetic the rest if the league is, and the serious lack of balance. Vsevolod Askarov started the season, is a rut he was among the worst goalies in the league. Despite the lack of support, his numbers have started to really improve. He sits tied for 7th in sv% and 8th in GAA. These really are nothing special, but given he was among the bottom 3 for a lot of the season its improvement. He keeps improving his game an working hard. Most in his position might just have retired, or quit. He has seen in the gym every day working his ass off. In hopes that next year the Hounds can finally bring him a roster worth all the effort he has put in this season. It is unclear, just where the Hounds are gunna be next year. It wont be Askarovs fault if they fail.
  25. You still build like a first gen totally lost ?
