Gooningitup

Gooningitups agency has brought some great talent, in Sergei Komarov, Vladimir Komarov. Some middle of the pack never reached potential in Evgeni, and Pavel Komarov. Kazimir was a total bust however, due to coming back at a wrong time. His latest client Vsevolod Askarov has looked like a star in coming however, and the team who gets him. That being said this is not about the undrafted Russian goalie. Instead we have to look into a crystal ball 8 seasons from now. The next man up, is the grandson of Vladimir Komarov and son of Pavel. A solid puck moving defenseman, who brings the edge of Vladimir combined with the play making ability of Pavel. He is only currently 9 years old, its unclear just how big he will get, however he already towers over most in his age group as the family is known for big guys. He is currently only able to play houseleague, but he has domimated it up to this point as he waits to be able to play juniors in the KHL. Which should only be a short 2 seasons. Its impossible to tell just how good this kid will be yet. After all he is 9 years old, however Dimitri Komarov wants to leave an impact on the league when he is able too. He has a huge family of VHL players to lean on, so it will be easy to adjust to the VHL. The biggest question mark for the kid is going to be where he sits on the family spectrum. Will he become a star in the making, or a bust. If we could project 8 seasons into the future we would take a look at his strengths to take a wild guess. His first strength is likely gonna be his size, like the rest if his family if we had to take a wild guess he is going to come in at six foot four. He should be a big boy, likely weighing in at 200 plus pounds. Like his family he should know how to use this to his advantage. His second strength is, defense and physical play. Nobody should be shocked, the Komarov family plays 200 feet, and he throws his body around. He has been penalized alot as a kid they do not encourage physical play. His family however, does not seem to be worried about it as he is just learning the family trade. He will be a very tough opponent, an someone who never backs down. Opponents have had it easy last few seasons without a true Komarov in the league. The third strength he seems to have is one none of his family has ever really mastered. Play making, he just seems to think the game at a higher level. He sees the ice an finds the open lanes so his teammates can find an open net. For the easy tap in goal. Time will tell just how good this kid can be, as he is only 9 years old and its not possible to really see the future an what it holds even of the league thinks we can.

Vsevolod Askarov will not be playing for Asia, which for some reason includes Russia. Not sure people have looked at a map before but Russia and Russians dont identify as Asians. The Russian netminder was not selected to go, a move that has made him declare he will not play for Asia in the future. He will only suit up for team World. Despite being agent to some of the best talent team Asia has ever seen. The snub was seem as a kick in the nuts. The hulking goalie decided if Asia does not want him, he will take his services elsewhere. Team World being the only other option, as he can not play for Europe, America, or Canada. This leaves team Asia without one of the most promising prospects in the country for next seasons tournament. The choices are very questionable and the choice has been made. Whoever the new GM next season is will be paying the price for this as GMs only stay a season at a time. This move will impact Asia forever, as the agent has decided this was for the best and none of his agents who have all hailed from Russia will suit up for them ever again.

Im a caps fan so the caps of course Everything im one of like maybe 3 people updating on the team ? Who cares if its not us it doesnt matter who wins. Shitty ive only been here a couple years an hated my whole time ? 0 i hate everyone equally who needs friends Not at a ill hit cap and just relax from there. We better be competitive though

Horrible other goalies in my same spot are doing better. Who cares its not us, i focus on us alone. It ended with us thats embarrassing He helps me which is important makings my job easier as a goalie. Umm ones that help us win more? Lol Vsevolod Askarov dude can take a punch, and dish them too

Vsevolod Askarov must follow Russian hockey stereotypes. The Russian net minder, either plays unreal, or just really terrible. He posts high sv% or low ones, the Hounds keeper has very little support but the frustration is showing as the young net minder has been seen leaving the ice smashing his stick against the net. He continues to train each and every day trying to be the best he possibly can. Despite this the results have been poor with a 3.75gaa and 870sv% with 5 wins, 16 losses, and 4 overtime losses. The Hounds are not the worst team in the league, but perhaps with better performances from their star net minder. Who is the goalie of credit, on record for Halifaxs only win of the whole season after allowing 2 goals on 9 shots. After that game Askarov was seen right at the gym. Using the punching bag to let out his frustration. The next game against Halifax he posted his first career shut out.

Nope, the changes were clarification on inactivity. An punishment for playing inactives over actives. An official can only own 3 firsts 3 2nds plus unlimited late rounder. Can trade 2 years worth of picks. Capping teams at 6 top picks doesnt balence anything. IMO should only be allowed to own 1 first and 1 2nd.

Ya they are guys who players careers are over, now they are on to new guys and they get carry over depending on how much they earned in their career

The VHLM has a big problem, it always has. Before was a reason a lack of players in the league. Now its issue? Free agent signings. We saw a huge wave of players big name guys recreate every year 2 times during the season due to how offseason works. Frankly its a broken system, the Houston Bulls who had a ton of draft picks then went an got multiple players for free over 100TPE. Why, because the league doesn't dictate anything they would rather see half the league fail, because they can not sign anyone. And half the league just shit on the rest because of outdated systems from an era where the league had under 100 active members. New players get to join the bad teams which may seem great, but is it really? Imagine being on Halifax with one win as a new player? Imagine not having anyone working their ass off like you to improve. So your results do not show up, because the team sucks. Chances are that can and HAS driven away many members. Discords for these teams, are silent which means even if you may want to stay, the other reason members stick around friends an fun convos are basically gone. I kept a teams LR despite being only barely active in discord because its me an my GMs in the hounds LR. Plus some guys who don't play for us so they are barely active in it The league needs to do something for one no team should own half the draft. Halifax next year will, a few teams this season did. It creates imbalance, personally the VHLM should not allow trades AT ALL or only able to trade 3rds and lower, or players for players. This means teams draft and those who pick best, compete those who don't win. Second is putting a CAP on how many major recreates a team can sign for free. We saw a team last year sign everyone an become a contender instantly. This year it was the Bulls. This means teams can't bank on all their friends recreating that season will join their team. An means we don't create a huge competitive advantage for anyone. Teams should be free to sign new members always because of course they are hit or miss. The VHLM is about having fun an its a short experience for everyone, but it also serves as a gate for new blood to this league. Having teams all on even ground, really does encourage new members sticking around. Having teams who could potentially win under double digits, and some who might not even have double digit losses does not do that imo. If i was a new member on the hounds id likely have quit by now an can not blame those who have on us. The fact is nothing will change, the VHLM really does not care. We will continue too see the fluctuation of the league every year. Lose plenty of members because of it like we always do.

The lack of respect for Evgeni Komarov @Victor tisk tisk

Its only week one of the new VHLM season, and for a few goalies its just the sign of a long season. Sitting 4th in shots faced, Askarov is one of those goalie. The Hounds have very little in the way of support due to the VHLM always being unbalenced. The top teams just stomp the bad teams. Currently sporting a 3-7-3 record, Askarov has been improving his numbers every game despite the Hounds struggle. Most people would not fault the goalies, on bad teams to just stop caring. After all they are being peppered with shots an getting no offensive support. However, these brave goalies keep plugging along Askarov is pushing himself to be better every game. He doesn't care about his stats he cares about how he works his ass off to improve. He wants GMs to be able to look past the numbers and see a goalie eager to improve. The Hounds appear to have added at least one player, to help support the team who is working hard to improve. Well early results for the rest of the team just seems to be coasting on their skill. Which if you look at the record tells you they really lack an should be working.

Good to see rookie scoring up. But current pace wont put any rookie in the top 25 all time rookie seasons. Unless someone goes on a tear which of course is possible as ever improving rookies.

I mean if ur facing 50+SOG a game like he is lol unless hes posting a shutout every second game bound to let some in. 11 gp 530+sog lol

Poremba is the 2nd best sv% in the league on the worst team in the league. Hes doing just fine with no help at all.

9/10 I cant really grade english well. But article looks polished and well put together. Your take on 3 true rookies on the VHL this year was a fun take an it will be interesting to see just how they all do on their respective teams this season. Especially in a year of expansion rosters, that should be high ice time for some of the kids.

7/10 Good team mate last year in Saskatoon, you actually played in the top 6 alot of the season so a bit incorrect. I think you only slide to the 3rd after we acquired Brown late season. However, were a very solid role player i think your semi activity hurt more than stats. Especially as i think most of your players in the league have fizzed out. That being said i wish you best of luck with this player of course. And hope you can prove teams who passed on you wrong

The VHLM has plenty of all star teams, the Aces, Wild, Mauraders, Marlins, Lynx, Houston. All have gone in hard in the quest to capture this seasons Founder cup. Their goalies have easy jobs, just be average or slightly better and they will more often get a win. However, those goalies unlucky to be on the Rush, 21st, Hounds, Reapers, and Kings. They need to be super human to even stand a chance to put up a win. Today we look at these unsung heros and talk about them a bit Halfiax 21st Hex Valentine & Karl Malone @eaglesfan036 @DrHexDex First we will start with Karl Malone, a goalie whose yet to start a game, however should split starts as atleast at this moment both are counted as active members. Though Hex is in danger of becoming inactive. Malone is the best back up in the league in my opinion. Should be able to post some solid numbers. Hex Valentine sits with 0 wins 5 losses, but its not really his fault as he sits pretty with a 904sv% and 4GAA. He is doing his best but facing the 3rd most shots on the entire league. He currently counts as active but if he keeps his current course he may be supplanted by Malone Mexico City Kings Michael Olson & Markus Emerson Jr @Xflexz @MSO94 This duo is the worst in the league in terms of TPE but both are active and one or both could become very solid goalies on the future. Right now Olson is the only goalie to have offically started sitting with a 2-4 record 866sv% and 5.83gaa. His numbers are rather bad, but he is young an lacks the polish and experience as the other goalies. If he can keep earning expect to see those numbers rise. Mexico has some firepower bailing him out as evidence by the 2 wins. He currently faces a ton of rubber with the second most shots against in the entire league. Philadelphia Reapers John Poremba @CrlineDijohn14 No back up active or even on the roster as they use PHI G 1. However they have the one of the best goalies in the league at the moment in my opinion. Poremba currently sits with a amazing 913sv% but he does have a very ugly 5.4gaa. He has 0 wins and 5 losses currently. It shows he is doing everything he can to help the team win, but of course he cant do it all himself facing the most shots against in the league. Hopefully the Reapers can give him a bit more support. Yukon Rush Kloxfield @Kloxified No back up goalie, on the entire roster currently only 1 active goalie. Kloxfield really needs to come through for the Rush as he is the only goalie currently on the roster. Like Mexico duo he is young and new an among the worst goalies in the league training wise. That being said he has done well, despite 0 wins an 5 losses. Kloxfield has a respectable 884sv% and 3.8 GAA. If he keeps improving he should pick up some Wins as the season goes on. Missisauga Hounds Vsevolod Askarov No back up goalie an of course im not going to tag myself. No other active on the roster. Askarov has been steadily improving, but he has actually been fairly awful. When he is good, he has been really good and won. When he's been bad though he has been bad. As is apparent despite his 2 wins an 3 loss record. He currently sports a 878sv% and a 4.4GAA. He is an ever improving player and hopes he can start to really turn it around as the season goes on as he aims to establish himself as a top goalie in the league.

Can you see broken links? Cuz i cant see shit lol

I find the lack of respect for Askarov in Missisauga amazing given im quickly moving up the TPE charts and should be a almost capped TPE by season end making me a top G in the league even if my team lacks

We are going to get smashed against the good teams, and im gunna be the difference between us and the bad ones. Which is how i expected the season to go. Everything under the sun, i had a puck shooter at high speeds because i expected to get peppered. I mean i dunno who else it could be but me? Maybe the new guy if he sticks around. If not im really the only guy developing. Umm me for everything not skater related? If we add a new active members them for stuff too i suppose. Miami is pretenders so who really cares We make the playoffs by the skin of our teeth cuz so many bad teams.

Today it was announced that Vsevolod Askarov, had moved from 27th to 17th on the draft board. Many of those above him, were created post trade deadline and have weeks of updates ahead of Askarov. His pace, is being maintained to prove VHLM GMs wrong for passing on him, well improving his draft stock for the upcoming season VHL draft. His numbers will not standing out in a positive way, as He's on a very bad Hounds roster. Which means he knows his work ethic needs to prove why he should be selected above other players in his draft class. Especially as he is a goalie an the latter typically, gets selected later in drafts due to league needs at other positions an so many slots availible to goalies on each team. Time will tell just where he lands, but Askarov strong showing should prove to GMs that he is eager to be a star in the making.

Umm i dunno what to say about when i was 13. I think i was on my 4th foster home? Still holding out hope id find my forever home. Kinda depressing i know but just kinda facts. I didnt really have a good childhood.

Its been over a week since the Wild, won the VHLM title. The offseason had been in full swing most players went back home. Komarov was told to stay in Canada untill the award show. He was told it would only be a few days. Monday was announced as the show, it was then delayed not 1 but 3 days. Almost a full week after the champs were crowned. Thursday rolled around, Komarov got ready to go again, gets a phone call the show is delayed again. At this point he is pissed off, seriously how can the league be so disorganized he wants to go back home to live his post retirement. Finally friday roles around, the league finally confirms he can finally show up to the award show. The awards for the most part when as predicted, the biggest shock of the night is career VHLMer King Kruul taking home the award for top defender. Much to the shock of just about everyone. Walker, Letang, Mann, and a few others are true top players and got FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY over the career journey man. Komarov finally wins the playoff MVP award, which was apparently a no brainer. After being up 9 points on his own team mate it was no shock. Other Wild players beside Komarov and Kruul winning awards. Brown won top 2 way forward of the year, Walker tied for most assists in the league, and GM Wolf won GM of the year. Overall, it was a very successful season for the wild. With Komarov able to finally go back to mother Russia, all focus turns to new prospect Vsevolod Askarov. The Russian netminder was selected in the 4th round of this past VHLM season, by the Missisauga Hounds. The Hounds did not have a pick untill this pick they gambled hard on last season. Only to be bounced very early, now Askarov comes in as the future. The problem is when you do not pick untill the last pick of the 4th round? The team is lacking, chances are this is set to be the worst team in the VHLM this season. The only way that will change is if Askarov just dominate, he's going to have to have MVP like season to even sniff the playoffs. The most likely scenario is the Hounds fail, the fall into a top 4 pick and hopefully can be solid built team going into next season. Askarov will likely return to the VHLM in his second season barring some kind of miracle or desperate need for a goalie in the VHL. He should come back, and be one of if not the best goalie in the VHLM in season 74. He has been driven to be a top pick in this upcoming VHL draft, and make teams look silly for passing on him in the VHLM. Askarov will have to stay focused and confident despite what he is expecting to be a very long season. He is expecting to face the most shots of any goalie by a mile, especially against contenders like Minny and Miami. He will also be facing against his brother Agrapov who joins the Wild this season, as they aim to try to win back to back for the first time on 20 seasons.

So basically San Deigo thought they were smart taking 2 goalies. They then tried to get assets back, got a later pick then used on him minny then flips Eagle for 3 assets then uses a higher pick to get Penguin from the Yukon. Winners Yukon and Minny, losers San Diego

Hard to really say the draft will change their teams more than the expansion. Minny just went all in so they have to be the favourites. No, even with Conway hes just 1 piece. Going to need some sim magic to beat Miami or Minny Unsure VHLM draft is all over the place and with lack of updates these past few days its unclear. If Krestanovich graduates, then its him 0 debate he will have big time ice time on a rebuilding squad. If not him Brandt has the potential. Why we worrying about next season this is season 73 not 74 worry about that when that bridge crosses.
