How long till i am added?

I didnt know i was going second overall

When asked if he wanted to play for the only franchise his father knew, he simply stated if they want me i will play for them. However he did state he wanted to build his own legacy, he does not want to live in his fathers shadow forever. He ideally would like to play somewhere new, but he would not object to playing in Davos and he would never demand out. "Im like my father, loyalty i want to play for one franchise". "If a team drafts me i hope they realize this, i wont be looking for another apartment unless its absolutely needed". " I plan on making an impact for whatever team im on, even if its just a 3rd line role". The shut down center has a great future ahead of him. He hopes he can build a great legacy for himself, as he is more offensive player than his father it may not be too hard.

Part of the reason i joined, was to practice writing in english. So certianly helped

I wouldnt expect perfect from me, my main languge is russian. Though most will tell you my grammar, has gotten better since joining

Pavel Komarov- Storm Forward Faceoffs and Points

Komarov's last day with Davos Its not often a team hosts a day just for a player, but that is what Davos did for franchise face Vladimir Komarov. He spent his entire career in Davos purple. He finishes his career first in two categories,shots blocked and games played. He finished 2nd in PIMs, 3rd in hits. All these were stats he wanted to be,and was known for his offense finished in the top 20, with assists finishing 13th, and goals 42nd. Both are impressive given he wasn't known for his offensive prowess. Komarov is a humble man so when he was asked to speak he had no idea really what to say, he thanked the fans, the franchise, and everyone who believed in him. He stated his biggest regret was never helping Davos capture a cup, he felt that that was his biggest downside in an otherwise great career. He helped mold the young defenders this season, in hopes that they can capture what he never could. The night was an exciting on former, and present team mates turned out in spades, all knowing one day Komarovs number will hang from the rafters. I mean it would be a shock to see it never go up, i do not think you would find many shocked if he was. He was always a joker, never down even at the worst of times in Davos, the type of guy you could call for help and he would be over no questions asked. He never demanded more of anyone except himself, never laid the blame for anything on anyone he was as his speech was humble. Often talking about the stars he played with guys like Richardson, Harumpf, Sinclair, McJustice, Shock, Koening. Never once calling himself what he is to many of the people there that fateful night. The night, continued and the first ex team mate stepped to the podium, It was Mason Richardson his defensive partner for a few seasons. His speech was moving, "Vladamir was one of those guys that every team wants on their team. Many say that, but what exactly do they mean? "Kommy" did his job, asked questions later and always stood up for his teammates. He will tell you he didn't have a lot of skill but we saw differently. Vlady had a ton of hockey sense and his stick work was very underrated. In the lockerroom he was great for a soundbite every night and kept the lockerroom loose. I've also never seen a player hit and block shots with such enthusiasm. He played with reckless abandonment and I personally want to thank him for his contributions to our successful years in Davos together. He made the entire team 4 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier when he was on the ice with you." It sparked, many others to step up and speak their minds about the defender. Next up was long time GM of Davos Rielly, Komarov was the ultimate teammate... a guy that fully bought in at HC Davos and was fully supportive through the good times and the not so good times. I will miss playing with him very, very much. The next one was probably the biggest surprise, not a former team mate or GM, but an opponent Matt Bentley who played for New York at the time, "I was helping incoming GM Jack Reilly with S40 draft scouting before I was traded that off-season and I remember pointing out that Komarov would be a great pick based on the leadership qualities he was showing with Oslo in the VHLM. I am glad to have been proved right as Komarov's loyalty is beyond doubt and when New York played Davos in my last seasons and Komarov's first two, I can tell you that you could feel his presence on the ice. Sometimes quite literally and painfully. And to think that was only him as a youngster!" Next was a former team mate now GM Toast who had some kind words to say about the Davos defender, "Komarov and I were drafted in the same year. We joined up with Davos when the team was barren, but we both stuck around anyways. Komarov took to role of a leader almost immediately and performed well on the ice, knowing that it was pretty well required of him. Komarov will always be one of my favourite teammates just because he's such a natural leader and through many seasons in the league, I have not found anyone as passionate as he is." Just when it looked like it was about to end, with a teary eyed Komarov in the crowd, his first ever GM stepped up to the podium to speak of the now retired defender. When Komarov was first drafted by the Oslo Storm way back when, I knew there was something special about him. Not necessarily the most flashy guy on the ice, there was just something about his personality and the way he carried himself that made it clear he was a team player with a lot of drive, a lot of skill, and a lot of heart. Komarov will leave behind not only a legacy of being a reliable and steady defensive weapon, but also one of being a player who was undeniably dedicated to his respective team and teammates. I wish him well as he rides off into the sunset - it was a pleasure being his GM and he will be missed in the league, but I trust his son Pavel will help fill the void. Now crying, shocked at all the kind words the last person stepped up to the podium current GM, Ahma who had some kind words to send the defender off into the sunset, one that will not doubt be full of helping his son Pavel become the best he can be. Komarov was such a great guy. He was a perfect team mate, he was a role model in the locker room, he did all the little things right on the ice. Simply amazing player. He has been the best and nicest player I've played with. And he will be that for a long time. - Simon Valmount Komarov took to the stage one last time, tears still in his eyes, he thanked everyone for their kind words. He could not describe what they meant to him, as he hangs up the skates. Knowing he left a lasting impression on so many, it touched his heart. Hes unsure what his future plans are as of now, maybe after awhile of relaxation he will take on a management role later on. (just added a picture realized it didnt save when i edited before)

I dunno if im that high overal but guess we will find out

I tried to carry the team on my back but didnt work out

That Komarov kid aint too bad

Might be my english, my son was born and 5months later we found out my wife was diagnosed with cancer. She passed just after he turned 1year old

For some reason I thought we got swept so I didn't even click the link lol gj boys

I enjoy it, it can be difficult it varies job to job. Not every job is the same which is nice gives you variety. I personally work about 50hours a week, but I've had days I finish a project in 3 hours. All depends on what type you want to be. I know guys who work less than 40 a week, and others that work 70+. Depends on the type you want to be, I'm more of a contractor type, so I work on giving power to new buildings but projects can be far an apart. So I take on general jobs, like rewiring older houses, adding extension into houses etc. It's much easier to just be a guy who goes into someone's built house, and fixes their issues. To find a job, and get stable hours than it is for my line. If you live in a small city, try to specialize in doing everything because you'll get a hell of a lot more work. Especially if your reliable. The trades are always in demand, alot of the work force is much older. Electrician isn't as bad as some of the other fields but its not too hard to find work

Ya man go ahead

Right now I live in Kanata

Yep, been orphaned since I was 8 years old.

It has, not been easy. But its made me who I am today. A person always willing to put others ahead of myself, and a guy whose always willing to work my ass off. I've gone through more than most in a lifetime, but I don't forget that. In now a very successful electrician. And I give to the community any way I can. Because I know what it's like to be down with nothing. So we'll its not easy, its molded the person I am today.

Real Name Sasha Orlov Age:36 Birthplace:Saint Petersberg, Russia Currently living just outside Ottawa, ON Profession:Electrician Languages: Russian, English, some Swedish. When I was 5, my parents fled Russia fearing war with the USA. We moved to Stockholm in Sweden. 3 years, later both my parents were killed in a car crash. I spent the rest of my life bouncing around homes, and foster parents. Till I was 18 and I went out on my own and moved back to my home country, at 19 I met my future wife. I worked in factory's, etc odd jobs till I was 26. I lived in run down place my whole life, saving every penny I could, I finally earned enough to go to College, to study to be an electrician. I graduated 4 years later, working 3 jobs to take care of me an my GF. I could not find work in Russia, only odd jobs finally 6 years ago me and my wife moved. We choose Canada, we bounced around city to city, wherever we could find work for 3 years. Before finally finding work here where I live today. Despite everything, and some nights barely being able to feed her she stuck with me. Finally out of debt, last year I managed to buy a ring, and propose to the love of my life. We had recently found out we would also be having a child. We saved for 9 months her working whatever she could find, and me doing overtime to buy our first house before our son was born. Our son was born, over a year ago Alexei Victor, Orlov. Unfortunately, only 5 months into our sons life, she was diagnosed with cancer, only to pass away just a few short weeks ago. If there are any other questions you may want to ask feel free too just wanted to share my story with everyone

@Victor ya PM can work

I'm sorry if I missed anyone, so many messages and everything. I may have missed some people. As you all know, over 2months ago my wife lost her battle to cancer. Me and my son, hit some very hard times. Still most days of the week go by and I miss her. It's something I wouldn't wish on even my worst enemy. Most won't remember, but when I created Komarov. I wasn't married, though I was seeing my wife to be, had no kid, and was down on my luck job wise. As my life became hectic with everything I lost time here. I was never intended to recreate, I wanted to be a star and that was it. When my wife passed, I had no time for anything. I was so busy, when I finally got time I told everyone what happened. The support I got was incredible, I was welcomed like I was family. I don't leave my lockeroom much. I keep my head out of drama, I just want to have fun. The support I got, was a huge reason why I chose to return. The community had been great to me since, and I would like to thank everyone who has helped me through these tough times. @boubabi, @Dewie, @evrydayimbyfuglien, @eaglesfan036, @Kendrick, @gorlab, @StevenStamkos91, @DollarAndADream, @boom, @Ahma, @Molholt, @JardyB10, @Da Trifecta, @Toast, @JPL, @sterling, @Draper, @der meister, @Phil, @CoachReilly, @tfong

So, I've messaged most of my ex teammates I remember, and posted in the LR. But I'd like atleast some opponents too. I want to create a fun, send off article for my first player who, unfortunately is now officially retired. Those who know me(I know I'm not a huge talking member around the boards). I'd like some words about Komarov, so things like ya he was a tough bugger, but he never crossed the line, and I respected him shit like that. It would be greatly appreciated

Just saw this thanks !!!

Disappointed I didn't raise. Hopefully this week I can do the rookie profile. I wasn't able to last week like I thought
