Seabass

Please don't trade me. 
 
Kidding aside thank you for the honor it's a pleasure to serve this team as captain. The franchise is going to be going through a transition period and i'm happy to lead this team through that and I hope to then pass the torch to our next big superstar. 
 
Even though we're going through some roster changes I still think this is a competitive team and I can still see us making another deep run this year. Lets go team

Hello! I am once again here to announce Moscow's captains. I fear that the captain curse has returned, as our fearless leader Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath  was traded to D.C. We'd just like to thank him again for his contributions to the roster since he was drafted here, and wish him the best this season on his new team.
 
However, we're still very excited about the state of our roster, and still have some phenomenal voices in the locker room who are very passionate about this team, the people, and our collective success. Without further ado, our leadership team!
 
First Alternate - Jan Hlozek - @Bojovnik
 
Moscow tradition has generally been to award the most tenured players on the roster with a letter, but I strayed away for a bit in order to reward passionate and vocal members above simply longevity. Bojo perfectly embodies both, managing a time zone difference to remain connected with the team and one of the best hype men on the team, providing motivation and exhibiting fiery passion constantly. This will be Hollywood Hlozek's final season in the VHL, and we will continue to rely on his skill and experience to lead the squad from the blue line.
 
Second Alternate - Henri le Massif - @Garsh
 
Similarly to Bojo and Jan Hlozek, Garsh and le Massif are relatively recent additions to the Moscow organization, but have made their presence immediately known since their acquisition. Garsh is one of the most active members of the locker room and is now stepping up into a first line role. With his experience in the league, continued passion for success and great personality, he's simply an awesome guy to have around and he's very deserving of receiving an A. 
 
Captain - The Seabasstard - @Seabass
 
After four seasons in a row of wearing the A, The Seabasstard receives a well-deserved promotion to the C. A quiet and underrated member, Seabass has broken personal seasonal and career bests for multiple statistical categories, and currently sits 6th in Moscow's all-time points leaderboard with two more seasons left to continue moving up on the list. His presence is steadying to me, and his passion for the team is unmatched. He has long desired to spend his full career on Moscow, and I'd be more than happy to acquiesce. Congratulations on receiving the captaincy Seabass!
 
 
Shoutout to @STZ  as well for being an awesome AGM over the seasons as well, and for all of his contributions in the locker room and in our back room discussions. He's been an awesome resource and voice of reason, and we are very appreciative that he is our AGM ❤️ 
 
 
MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW!

Good Sebass get ready! Trade is coming soon

After last week's VHL.com submission which featured The Seabasstard sharing how he would "pound down a box of greasy popeye's chicken" into his gut before every game, now Popeye's chicken have reached out to the player to discuss an endorsement deal. 
 
" I mean it's a product I believe in so why not back it up officially and take advantage of my love of Popeye's Chicken. Popeye's is going to feature a series of commercials with me in it, for radio and television. I haven't been able to get any endorsement deals like this before in my career, I don't know if that has anything to do with being a player from a Russian based team or not but I think my partnership with Popeye's will be fun and I appreciate the opportunity to continue talking about my love for fried chicken."
 
The endorsement deal will pay The Seabasstard 200 000$ and a lifetime supply of Popeye's Chicken, the deal also includes naming a limited time food item at the restaurant after the VHL player. 
 
" For a limited time during the summer only at Popeye's restaurants in the US, The Seabasstard Jerk will be served. It has nothing to do with Popeye's Louisiana kitchen theme I know but it's basically Jamaican Jerk Style chicken. Why Jerk style you may ask? Because it's fucken awesome. Go ahead try it."
 
(Oupps this was ment as an article not a graphic my bad)

@lll

The Seabasstard was recently a featured guest on a popular podcast hosted by certain ex-NHLers and touched on various subjects including some of his pre-game rituals. Turns out he's quite fond of rituals, a season ago he revealed the one ritual where he smokes some ganja before every playoff game. 
 
On the podcast he happened to reveal a few more. Apparently he also pounds a box of greasy Popeye's chicken into his gut before every game he's played as well as fill some of his bottles on the bench with various flavored Monster energy drinks. That's quite unhealthy habits coming from a star athlete. The star mentioned that he'll be abandoning one of those habits this off-season. 
 
"Yeah I'm getting a little older though and I've slowed down as I've put on some pounds. This offseason I'll be working on giving up my Popeye's addiction as to try and get myself more into perfect game shape. "
 
When asked if he would also give up his Monsters, Seabasstard said that was "not a problem and that monster is fuel and fuel is good." 

Well we did it again. 
 
Once again I'm here trying to come up with words on what went wrong for the Moscow Menace after losing in the Continental Cup for the fourth time in as many years. Honestly I've pretty much run out of excuses, this should've been our year, after all we won the Victory Cup after having a franchise record setting regular season and a lot of us had more than 60+ games of playoff experience under their belts.
 
This one especially hurts as a lot of our veterans including some who have been successful with us for many years now are coming towards the end of their respective careers. Guys like myself, Hard Markinson and LeMassif have two years to go in our respective careers. Then you got Hlozek and Idaho who's only got the one year left. Even Emeritus is going to start regressing this offseason, everyone is getting older and our window to win is fast closing. Yes we do have a lot of great younger guys that will be able to take over our roles but it doesn't change the fact that this team will have to undergo some big changes in the coming years. Spartan has never been shy of making big trades either so I doubt he'll sit on his hands and do nothing as half his team retires in the next few years. 
 
It's too bad we came up short since both Papa Emeritus and Duncan Idaho were having a huge playoffs. Papa was standing on his head the whole playoffs and is the main reason why we got to the finals in the first place he finished off with a save percentage of .933% and a GAA of 2.33, if we would've won the cup he was a sure shot of winning Playoff MVP. Idaho, the face of our franchise and captain was his normal self tearing it up on the offence scoring 13 goals and 27 points which was both good for #1 in the playoff rounds. It's a real shame that both performances are all in vain.
 
This one finals loss for me stings the most. I hate to say it but part of the reason we lost I think was due to my player underperforming. Typically my player over his career would kick up his game to the next level come playoff time. Before this season he's scored an average of 1.5 Points a game in the playoffs, and was the Menace's top playoff point getter. This year he wasn't even a point per game player come playoff time while also getting to play top line minutes with Idaho this year. I'm dissapointed in my player's performance but I'm more embarassed about letting my team mates down. 
 
We can't let this loss affect us too much though as we have next year to focus on and it's the last one with Idaho and were going to have to let him close out his career on a strong note by finally winning him that coveted Continental Cup. He's done so much for this franchise that he deserves winning at least one cup in his career, we gotta do it for Idaho next year, we just gotta.
 
 
 

Congratulations guys

Hello all!
 
Another off-season, another pair of GM spots to fill; you all are very good at making our lives difficult in that sense aren’t you? Not just because we have to do it so often but also because the options we have available are all just so damn good.
 
That was once again the case here where honestly @Josh and I could have thrown a dart at the candidates and landed on a good pair; for that reason I want to make it clear as always that if you didn’t get the job it’s not because we think anything less of you, just that it was incredibly stiff competition with great options all around.
 
As I already said before but is always good to re-iterate: the league would like to thank @McWolf  and @Nykonax for their time as GMs.
 
Who am I kidding though, no one has read this much, you just want to get to the juicy bits right? So let’s get to them shall we! First up is London since their application opened earlier:
 

And of course, on the other side of the pond, we have the new GM for Vancouver:
 

Congrats to you both and once again thank you to everyone who applied, this was a tough decision to make with a lot of very solid candidates on the table.

Well we did it again.

1. Embarassement, dissapointment, anger. Tired of being a loser. This sucks. 
 
2. I was a huge letdown this year and I feel like me underperforming was a big reason why we came up short. I was a non factor that whole playoff series against the Bears.
 
3. I don't really know anymore at this point we've adjusted after every year and we're still not getting it done.
 
4. I'd rather not have to lose anyone. But i'm sure me or Markinson would be pretty good bait as we both get two years left to Idaho's one. 
 
5. I haven't done any homework on the draft so I have nobody in mind for that spot, sorry.
 
6. I'd like to go see the World Juniors tournament go down someday that would be fun to watch, that and the Grey Cup (CFL).

Well it's official, the Moscow Menace have lost yet another time in the Continental Cup Finals. Centerman The Seabasstard had a poor playoff showing and didn't even reach a point per game despite playing top line minutes throughout the playoffs playing alongside star winger Duncan Idaho. 
 
"Obviously I'm a little pissed off with myself here. I feel like I let my team down by not playing up to my potential, it's now also the fourth time in a row that we all come up short of winning the cup and I'm just tired of coming out of the finals being a loser. I don't know man, maybe I'm regressing with age a bit here and I'm having trouble just accepting it."
 
The Seabasstard managed to score 14 points in his 18 games playoff games, which isn't terrible but it's unlike him considering in the three years previous he managed to put up 81 points in 55 games. The players have all been told that some moves will have to be made this offseason and rumours are circling around the VHL media that The Seabasstard may be on the way out.
 
" I don't believe those rumours to be true, me and the GM have a good rapport and I haven't been given any indication that I'll be traded. I've been a member of the Menace since I broke into the league as a rookie, I've been here for six great years and made the finals 4 times as a member of this team. This team is very special to me and my heart is in Moscow and this is where I wish to close out my career. Even in the event where I would get traded, I'm not so sure I'd want to play in another jersey and I would probably just end up hanging the skates up. "
 
 

Well we did it again.

There’s Always Next Year - Moscow Menace
 
 
Moscow - The Moscow Menace had high hopes coming into this season. With bright upcoming stars looking for a breakout season, and all star veterans that look to dominate the league once again. On paper, the Moscow Menace had always been a powerhouse in countless aspects of the sport in recent history. But it seemed like this was the year that the city of Moscow would taste the Continental Cup in over thirteen years. It seemed like the stars aligned with the Menace, they had all their ducks in a row. Sadly, this wasn’t the case. Moscow once again stuck to the same narrative that they’ve shown for over four seasons. Losing in the Cup Finals.
 
“I feel terrible,” spoke Preobrazhensky, the young centerman of the Menace. “Especially for the guys who’ve stuck with this team much longer than I was around. I felt like we did everything we possibly could out on the ice that series. We played with fire and energy, but in the end, I guess it just wasn’t enough” He said with a depleted tone in his voice.
 
The locker room was dangerously awkward after the game, it felt like the room was full of ghosts. No one, not even coaches or executives wanted to speak to the team after such a gloomy loss. The whole team wanted this win so incredibly bad, it was like their life depended on the result of the game. Some undressed and packed up quietly while others just couldn’t handle the mounting stress and anger, letting it all out after the game.
 
Although the players were visibly disappointed by the result of the series, the fans were the ones who were left with pain and agony. It was a full packed arena in the heart of Moscow for that game, which came with a sea of Menace fans hoping to bring the cup back home. After the game clock struck 00:00 of the third period. The crowd was in disarray once again, coming back to their senses that Moscow was once again, going to leave empty handed. But then, numerous chunks of fans were seen to be throwing trash on the ice and screaming obscured insults. It got to the point that the players were to be escorted out of the stadium with security. 
 
This isn’t the end of the Menace though. The management had already made plans to make Moscow more of a powerhouse than before. Take for example the trade to bring in Flynn Remy and the option pickups between Leroy Johnson and Papa Emeritus. This is just a preview of what is to come in a competitive and interesting off-season. Not only that, the Moscow Menace will still be keeping their top offensive player, Duncan Idaho and their most valuable defenceman, Hard Markinson. Without worrying about expiring contracts coming into the offseason.  
 
As many would like to say after an unsuccessful season. There is always next year. And this saying isn’t more applicable to none other than the Moscow Menace. As the journey to win the Continental Cup continues for them.

GAME 7 TONIGHT 
 

Moscow and Seattle face off tonight in Game 7.
 
In what is already being dubbed as one of the most epic Continental Cup Finals series in VHL history, the S83 edition of the Finals between the Seattle Bears and Moscow Menace will conclude tonight with Game 7.
 
S83 marks only the second playoff meeting between these two teams, the only other time being in the S71 Finals when Seattle dispatched the then defending champions in five games. Moscow is looking to avoid becoming only the second team in VHL history since the S25-S28 New York Americans to loose four straight Cup Finals and in doing so avenge their S71 loss and win the franchise’s second Cup. Seattle, meanwhile, is seeking their first Cup since S77 after losing in the Finals in S78 and S79 to Warsaw and Malmo respectively. 
 
Neither team has played in a Game 7 yet in these playoffs. Moscow played in the league’s most recent Finals Game 7 in S80 when they fell to the Vancouver Wolves the first time in S80. Seattle’s last Game 7 was way back in S59 when they beat the Helsinki Titans for the Bears’ 7th Cup. They own a 3-1 record in Finals Game 7s.
 
This has been a seesaw series as the evenly matched squads have traded wins since the opening faceoff. They were tied for the top record in the league during the regular season with Moscow having the slight edge in offense and Seattle in defense. True to form, the series has been tight with four of the six games won by a single goal and three of those being decided in overtime with Moscow winning two of those three in extra time.
 
Each team has had their stars step up with different heroes every night. Moscow’s future HOFer Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath  leads the series with 8 goals, 15 points, 4 power play goals, 2 game-winners, 5 multi-point games and is tied with Seattle’s rookie defenseman Mikhail Kovalchuk @Banackock with 7 assists. AJ Williams @ajwllmsn leads Seattle with 5 goals and 10 points. Moscow’s Hard Markinson @STZ and Seattle’s Max Torq @Steve lead all blueliners with 9 points apiece.
 
Each goalie has faced highs and lows. Seattle’s Em Em Flex @oilmandan has by far been the busier goalie having faced over 45 shots a game compared to Papa Emeritus @Beketov of the Menace seeing an average of 10 less shots a game. Flex has made over 50 saves three times in this series but his best game was probably Game 2 when he stopped 60 of 62 shots to lead Seattle to a 3-2 win in Game 2 after a heart-breaking double overtime loss in Game 1. He kept the score 1-0 after the first period despite Moscow outshooting the Bears 36-5 in the period. Emeritus arguably had his best game in Game 5 making 34 saves and only allowing one goal in a 5-1 victory to give the Menace a 3-2 series lead. Seattle outshot Moscow 35-18 yet Emeritus shut the door.
 
Now the question remains: Who will win Game 7 and capture the S83 Continental Cup? Will Moscow’s legendary trio of Top-20 all-time playoff scorers (Idaho, Seabasstard @Seabass, Markinson) shake off the Finals curse that has shackled them the previous three seasons and finally win the franchise’s second Cup? Or will Seattle’s dynamic defense usher in perhaps a new dynasty for the Bears? 
 
We’ll find out tonight.
 
Bring on Game 7!

1. Well we came out with the win over Prague. A feel like I struggled at the beginning of the series but found my game near the end, hopefully that success there at the end can transition it's way to the next matchup.
 
2. Well I have two tranditions I smoke weed before every playoff game going back to our first final's run. The 2nd one is that I fart in the goalies mask before every game. 
 
3. Putin was in attendance for game 1 and 2 and has always been a avid supporter of the Moscow Menace. 
 
4. I didn't participate
 
5. Ive done pretty well else than falsely predicting the Tampa/Florida series.
 
6. I would and it wouldn't even be close. I'm an animal. 

Well there's only four games to the season left and my team, The Moscow Menace are one point away from tying the Seattle Bears for first place in the league standings. Winning the Victory Cup would be nice and all but that's not the trophy were chasing here. We just want the Continental Cup and this team has the potential to make another good run and make the finals for the fourth time in a row. 
 
At the beginning of the year I thought for sure we'd regress with the losses of elite players such as Paul Atreides and Aurelien Moreau and of course Atreides and Moreau have both gone on to have great seasons in Toronto with Atreides currently leading the league in points and Moreau is leading all VHL defenders in point. Considering the loss of talent actually we haven't done too bad at all as we're a lock to win the European Conference. Our success has much to do with our younger guys such as Preobrazhensky, Mulds and Emeritus having stepped up and our newcomers such as Le Massif and Hlozek having fit into our lineup flawlessly.
 
For my personal numbers I can't complain I'm a point per game player sitting one point shy of 80 Points with 4 games left. However I played set up man this year and it's the first time in 3+ seasons that I haven't been able to reach the 30 goal mark. I hope to reach 80 points though before the season closes out and being one point away right now I don't think it's too much to ask, 79 just breaks your heart, gotta get that 80.

1. Well we had a tough stretch going into the playoffs where we seen us get away from what we were doing well. We just got to get back to our system and everything should work out.
 
2.Prague, we just have their number in the playoffs.
 
3. Seattle is the team to beat there, they're currently leading the league, they ain't no chumps.
 
4. Papa Emeritus had a great playoffs last year and I"m convinced he'll be great once again.
 
5. I lost power in the winter time this year for a couple of days, it sucks, you don't want your pipes to freeze and burst. I'm also old enough to have lived through the northeast blackout of 2003.
 
6. Putting myself to work, i'm tearing down and rebuilding my deck, wish me luck because I don't know what i'm doing.

1. Of course it does we've went through a few changes last off season. It's nice to be able to show the league that we're still the dominant team in the European Conference.
 
2. Well with the recent attribute changes I was expecting a change in my player. I won't lie I wasn't as into it this year but he has surprisingly been okay this year after all. 
 
3.At home playing in front of our great fans, we just feed off their energy.
 
4. Malmo, they've been a rival for years and lets face it we don't get a warm welcome when we visit.
 
5. I'm not so sure we even need to add anything we're pretty dominant as it is. 
 
6. Swimming. I haven't went swimming in a while now looking forward to it. 

1. I feel alright, happy to have VHL Hockey back. 
2. Of course I did, hopefully I built myself another winner. 
3. Us winning the Continental Cup of course. For once I actually was able to remember to do the predictions so I hope it goes well.
4.I'm not exactly thrilled about my build just yet but it's a small sample size.
5. Well of course it was needed with all the changes going on with the change in attributes. It gave us more time to heal from another finals dissapointment too.
6. Florida Panthers, Cup Finalists.
