  1.      Like any other morning Chikeen Nugett got up and checked on his team during practice, looked over paperwork and sipped on a coffee from Tim Horton's.. But this season it's been different and with a new assistant in the building who prefers to do things a little different, it's been a great change of pace and now instead of just sip noises echoing the office during the day we also hear crunching louder than bass, together the two continue to work harder than ever and in the process create beats without even knowing it, as meetings go on during the day and each new associate that enters the room they seemed to dance off or even sing a tune on their way out, oblivious to it all the two shrug it off and go home for the night to it all over again. During practices it's the same response from their players, groovy on the bluelines and ballarina style around the netting, in the corners of the arena we see groups huddled around spitting bats at each other, again both managers like the effort and carry on sipping and smashing back the donuts.. Is this the secret to their success early on? Who Knows! I'm just a fan who snuck in through the open door 😈

  2. I haven't done one of these in a few seasons now but what the heck I'll need an article for next week anyway.. Definitley the last thing I can provide for the team before I'm overworked 😅 With the same names but different players.. 

     

     

    :ott: Best Even Strength Player 🌟

    RW John @John CimarnoRichards #18

     

         It's been and up and down week for youngster John Richards after being shocked when his name called earlier than expected during the draft, making him have to be ready quicker and then after being named the new Ottawa Lynx leader it was clear Richards was ready to cover all areas.

    In this stretch he stepped up to be a defender on the blueline, tried different linemates and spent almost every minute on the ice playing on every unit in every position, during this time John proved to be more than just a scorer and lead by example in every department even if he didn't have the highest totals on even strength chances.

    :ott: Best PP/PK Player 👽

    RW Ben Dover #69

     

         Joining the team as the 4th San Diego Marlin to enter the locker room Ben Dover knew his role and quickly got to business, providing good locker room input and early earning.

    During the week it wasn't any of the top guns to really make something happen on our powerplay and without the second unit which had Dover leading the way we may not have won a few games, shooting the most shots and having the most points to show the coaches that there's more stars on the team.

     

    Previous Winners (S81):

    Laperriere, Live, Hagstrom, Torq, Dvorak, Vomacka, Lajeunesse 

     

     

    :ott: Team Workhorse 🐴

    LW Sadie @sadie St-Louis #26

     

         Coming into the situation with one of the best builds on the team and plenty of activity to go with it early in the season.. We haven't really seen the high caliber offense we are used to seeing from Sadie St-Louis when it matters.

    But with fans cheering her on and a team with full support that shouldn't be an issue, if Sadie had some more puck luck things would be different because she leads he team in shots and has about 33% of them so far.. Don't look at the shooting percentage though.

    :ott: Cleanest Player 🧼

    RW Timothy @Timmy30Swearingen #55

     

         Signing with the team as a free agent just a few days after the draft.. Big forward Timothy Swearingen quickly got to business trying to soak in every bit of information and did his best to apply it on the ice as quick as possible.

    After a slow start and a few line changes Swearingen rose up and made some big hits that eventually lead him to be part of a few timely goals later in the week but did it all without getting his hands dirty, spending zero minutes in the penalty box!

    :ott: Game Changer 📸
    LW Cash @glass Aleksic #00

     

         Cash Aleksic has yet to send a message in the Lynx locker room so fingers crossed on that but they have already made a difference for us on the ice on many different place.

    The brightest spot in Aleksic's game would be the ability to ride the wave and find spots to score whenever everyone else is tired out, scoring 3 game winners, a tying goal and a shootout gem it was easy to know who changed the game for us this week on many occasions while boosting their linemates in the process.

     

    Previous Winners (S81):

    Nu x2, Laperriere x2

    Dvorak, Buzzer, Vomacka

     

     

    :ott: Best Crease Effort 🥅
    G Fuukka @Jubis Rask #40

     

         Oh boy we haven't had many games from our backup yet but the efforts put in from returning player Fuukka Rask was phenomenal and only helped frustrate the other teams as we went at them with no blueliners.

    One game that stands out is the effort against the Philadelphia Reapers where Fuukka stopped 26 straight shots and kept us in it until the final score of 2-1, ending the night with a save percentage of .971 and 33 total saves.

    I feel that the issue of nerfing welfare, especially to the point in which a clicker player likely doesn't ever break into the VHL, is it will discourage new players. When someone jumps in, learning the ropes, a lot of times they'll default to welfare, at least in the beginning. New players should be encouraged to maintain engagement with the league, and sometimes that takes a while to get comfortable with. Chopping down welfare will just make them sit at the same sorta sucky level longer and they might think "hey, this dude isn't really getting any better. Everyone around him gets so much better. What's the point of growing this guy if he isn't gonna turn into anything?" It also doesn't help that the seasons take a very long time to conclude, and that time investment plays a pretty big part. Welfare has to be rewarding enough to keep those without much time invested in the league but not so strong that it makes them as good as players that actually claim.

     

    Jason Coiner, started at 30 TPE and 4/5 seasons left?

    Mew! bark!! bark!!! 😺 🏒 I'm the cat pack leader Chikeeen Nugett or some like to say GM for the Ottawa Lynx of the :vhlmlogo:.. Today I'd love to offer you a deal to come join our part of the forest!! 🌳

     

    Firstly I want to let you know how our pack stacks up to the rest of the league as of right now, our forwards are still kittens but super active, the blueline is unfortunately an empty field and the den is being guarded by a highly declorated returning cats around, lets just say things will be secure and with a few more healthy felines we'll really give the rest of the forest a real challenge as we fill our bellies with plenty of dubs. 🥩 🍖 Right now we have a 1st line spot open for you

     

    The contract value will be 1.5M and you'll play out the season with us until the leaves fall at the draft next season, as you grow and start to learn tricks around the forum my assistant and I are ready to help guide you into a lead hunter in our playground. If that sounds like a fun experience for you well we a warm den, plenty of coddles waiting and cannot wait to learn more about you  :)just quote my message with a #PURRMEUP and I'll send a cat carrier pronto
