    Houston Push
     
    With the last week or two of sims ahead of us a lot of questions are being asked, Who makes it where, The Flaming Red Bulls fires seem out after the trade of the Captain the mediocre one and Reno top Defenceman of the bull, HOWEVER I ensure you the bulls will push to the playoffs, They want to win it all. Sure it seems out of question but never underestimate the Flaming Bulls of Houston !
     
    The True Wild 
    When Minion was drafted by The wild a lot of question was asked about how good he would be following an amazing showing in the first season of his career. And he didn’t disappoint, however, Minion looks to go all the way and capture a VHLM Founder Cup before he begins a VHLE trip for another cup, Minino one goal is to get one of all cups. And a few goalies of the year awards

    diacope reacted to jRuutu in Why is Warsaw playing so well?   
    Against all odds, the "team" from Poland has managed to collect the most point in the whole VHL. Warsaw has won 30 games out of 46. Some experts have speculated whether a team with so many wins can do it purely with luck alone. To those experts, I would like to say: open your eyes. Look at the team play, look who plays in the team. If you moved the team to anywhere in NA that team would be lucky to break 15 wins in 46 games. It is a tragedy that a team with so much luck is wasting it by playing in the VHL. Think how much good the team and the players could do by looking for missing people, playing the lottery, and not to mention all the riches these lucky Predators could find from nature: gold, diamonds, you name it. They could then donate some of the riches they find and that way help the world to become a better place. Instead, they get together and slap the puck around.
     
    If you get a chance to buy anything that a Warsaw player has touched - do so, those items could be considered lucky items that will bring great fortune to you.

    Thomas Matthews Player review.
     

     
    I was born in Ottawa Ontario in Canada. I am not sure how my parents met, I never asked them, but they met and had me and my older sister. My father and I would stay up late, he would let me, to watch Toronto Legion games. of course my mother would always protest this because I would have school in the morning. This is how my dad and I bonded.
     
    We lived in a nice middle class house. I would go to school and then work part time after school helping the hockey arena set up for their games. I played hockey since I Was 6, but nothing really competitive. It was just something for me to do on the weekends. My father bought us season tickets to Toronto Legion games and we would drive 5 hours there. watch a game. stay at a motel. and drive back the next day. It's safe to say I missed some school time during that period of my life.
     
    My dad was my hero. He was always there for me. When I was 15 a police officer came to my school and brought me home where the news broke out that my dad had a heart attack at work and passed away. I was crushed. My hero was gone. A part of me wanted to jump in front of a car and end it because the pain from his death was unbearable but I managed to control it with continuing playing hockey. I believe I used all my anger and frustration on the ice which in the end made me a better player.
     
    I would eventually get noticed by the Ottawa OHL team and they drafted me in the 4th round. I played left wing my whole life but the team was short on RW and my coach switched my position. In reality, I didn't care. I was still playing hockey. But ever since that change, my game was night and day. I was scoring goals almost every game. at least getting an assist if I didn't. I met my best friend Edward Traverse on this team. We bonded pretty quick and hung out all the time after games. We went deep in the playoffs and lost double over time for game 7 for the cup. we were so close. I believe scouts were at the game because shortly after that I got a contract to play in the VHLM for the Bulls.

    diacope reacted to Achilles in Prospect Scouting Report - Thomas Matthews   
    Thomas Matthews is a prospect from Ottawa Canada and was claimed by the Houston Bulls of the VHLM halfway into the season. Matthews is a Left Handed Right Wing. He has played 14 games so far in the VHLM. 2 goals and 6 assists. 8 points in 14 games. He was a third line winger until recently after the trade that sent the mediocre one to Mexico City, he is now the #1 Center on the team and has been producing much more. One thing that surprised the Houston GM about Matthews is his face off game. He has showed promise potential being a legit Center even though he is a winger. The fact that Matthews can play many positions is what got the Bulls GM interest. Matthews is seen as a team player and even wants to help his teammates do their best in practice and volunteered himself to stay after practice if they want more practice.
     
    Matthews ability to snipe the puck is what makes him versatile. He can play a two way forward also. His speed is one of his best attributes which normally results him skating around defenders and confusing them. His offensive duties include mainly getting the puck past the goalie and battle opposing players along the boards. Hopefully to win the puck and to score. Matthews has some of the best stickhandling skills on the team.  If the team steals the puck in the defensive zone, They know Matthews will be open with his incredible speed skill, while skating up the ice, looking for a breakout pass from the defensemen. He came into the locker room as a young new player but has the potential to be a leader. A good Veteran one day.
     
    In 14 games his skills went from 78 to 132. His ability to develop fast could be his potential in being one of the best wingers in the VHL one day. 
     
    Season GP G A P +/- SHT PIM HIT SB GW PPG SHG 85 (HOU) 14 2 6 8 -6 34 4 15 11 0 0 1  
    Matthews understands what he needs to do to keep being a productive member of the team. His stats in the past 14 games aren't that great but his GM, AGM, and Coach see him playing better and better each game. His first 4 games he only had an assist. that is one point in 4 games. His production level was not great at first but has dramatically picked up in the games after. The past 2 games Matthews has a goal and an assist. 
     
    Only time will tell if GM's around the league will notice this potential very productive, soon to be elite, player.

    1. Which team do you think we’re doing the best against and why?
     
    2. Which team do you think we have to play against better and why?
     
    3. The Mexico City Kings won against us again what do you think we need to improve to win against them ( we did win against them once)?
     
    4. The trade deadline is in a few days do you want to see a player get traded to our team and if you do what player?
     
    5. If we make the playoffs what team do you think we’ll play against in the first round?

    While Jesse Teno’s body played games on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, their spirit was far far away celebrating Rosh Hashana. They were a corpse who just happened to get a 3-3-0 record for the three days.
    Impressive, no? We thought so too. So we asked Jesse what that was like.
     
    Happy New Year (Shana Tova)! Congrats on the 50/50 win/loss ratio the last few days.
     
    “What? No, I wasn’t here. What are you guys talking about?”
     
    Haha, very funny. We all saw you doing pretty good out there. Even a few games where you only allowed 1 goal.
     
    “Guys, I went back home to Vermont for the holiday. You can even ask my parents.”
     
    That’s Jesse, always the jokester of the team. But how did it feel winning 3 in a row then dropping 3?
     
    “I still have no idea what you’re talking about. I just got back yesterday morning.”
     
    And that’s all the time we have for Jesse Teno today. Come back next week when we see how they do on Yom Kippur, the fasting holiday!

    diacope reacted to Achilles in Theme Week - AJW - The Houston Bulls   
    Since it is theme week I have decided to write about the only GM I have ever had so far,  @AJW

    I am new to the league and do not have much experience with GM's but I can write a bit about the only GM I got to play for so far in the VHLM, AJW. I have only known him for a week but he welcomed me into his locker room with open arms. For a new player, this game can be complicated but in time it became extremely easy for me. AJW was there to help guide me through it. He has been busy this season on the trade front. Making moves to improve the team for the future. I had the honor to sit down with AJ for an exclusive interview.
     
    You traded the best player on the team, the mediocre one, for a draft pick. Do you see yourself making more trades before the trade deadline? Achilles
     
    At the moment I don’t see Houston needing to trade anyone else. The Mediocre One is a fantastic buy player, he leads the league in most categories this season, but I just didn’t have the right assets to win a cup with him. Most of the team is new to the league and still developing, so my thoughts were to trade him for some valuable picks to buff the team next season with everyone returning. AJW
     
    Is it safe to say the bulls are in a rebuilding phase? Achilles
     
    It is very safe to say that. We were hovering around the bottom of the standings before I made those trades so I figured it was the right thing to do. Last season in S85 we made a lot of trades for players and lost a lot of draft picks, so right now I am trying to get those picks back for the future of the organization. AJW
     
    Do you think it would be best to trade most of your players for picks to have a better shot next year? and you can just redraft some of them? what are your plans with this current roster? Achilles
     
     
    Most of our players are already coming back since they were drafted this past off season, and the rest are waiver players who’s trade value will be too low for other teams to want to trade. So at the moment I think everyone will be staying. AJW
     
    What are your plans for the future of the bulls? and what are you hoping to accomplish? Achilles
     
    For the short term future goals I want to build this team to be cup contenders next season. For long term future goals, I want to be in GM position of the Houston Bulls for atleast a year real life time, and I want to win GM of the season atleast once. AJW
     
    Do you see any members of the Bulls possibly surprising you with their skill development? Achilles
     
    Gio Naps, Shadow Thompson, and recently Thomas Matthews. Naps was drafted to the team this past off season and has shown great activity as well as earning abilities. Thompson was traded for at the start of the season and like Naps, has been great at everything and taken control of our starting goaltender position. And Matthews has been our best waiver signee by far, becoming a max earner and being one of the most active members in our locker room! AJW
