  6. AIM-11 RESIGNED. YEAH!! WINS The Greatest Rivalry Game Ever Season 29 – Game 265 VS The Story Leading to the Game With just a handful of games remaining in the season, the Toronto Legion and the Seattle Bears were embroiled in a fierce race for the Punch Imlach Memorial Trophy, with just five points separating the two teams. While the Legion were the team that held the five point advantage, they had also played two games more than the Bears, so while a win for Toronto would see them take a likely insurmountable lead in the North American Conference, a loss would likely give the Bears the advantage heading into the end of the season. Both teams had very different styles of play to their game; the Legion possessed a huge goal-scoring threat on both of their starting forward lines while the Bears were known more for their stout physical defense which was led by the powerhouse Mitch Higgins. The focus of the game though was set to be pointed on the goalkeeper battle between a pair of goalkeepers who would eventually become Hall of Famers, CAL G and Alexander Labatte. However, due to Legion General Manager Sandro Deslaunniers electing to use their backup goalie (Fernando Garcia Jr.) for this game, we were unfortunately denied this great matchup. The Game It didn’t take long for the deadlock to be broken as the Bears took advantage of a powerplay they had earned courtesy of a Patrik Johansen penalty to get the first goal of the game through their assistant captain Felix Peters. Things really started to heat up with just six minutes played as a mass brawl broke out between the two teams, leading to four players being penalized for fighting along with another five being penalized for minor penalties. The first period of play made it clear that Seattle were keen to impose their physicality upon Toronto at all times, with JaMarcus Simmons in particular picking up three minor penalties in the first period alone. While the Legion ended the first period on top in shots, they entered the second a goal down. Halfway through the game, tensions boiled over once more and it led to Lasse Milo and Nic Riopel clashing with their fists for the second time in the game. While there would be no clear winner in the fight again this time, Milo would take no further part in the game as he found himself ejected from the game for instigating the fight and a further five players were penalized for minors leading up to the fight. Over two periods, it was clear that the Legion had been struggling to take advantage when they had an extra man on the ice and were being targeted when they were a man down, the latter of which had been a rare weakness for the Legion all season. Midway through the third period, the Bears would take a two goal lead. Less than twenty seconds after Jarppi Leppälä had picked up a minor penalty, Nikolai Lebedev was able to deflect a Damon Wolfe shot past Garcia for his 35th goal of the season. With Toronto only managing to get off two shot attempts in the third quarter, they were simply unable to break down the fierce Bears defense and, less than a minute left in the game, frustrations seemed to take over as a six man brawl broke out between the two teams. The fight saw Jarppi Leppälä beat up rookie Theseus Athera and also ended up with Damon Wolfe being ejected from the game for instigating his second fight of the night.
  7. EDGAR FAILED TO SUBMIT. NOAH WINS. It’s a scene that any kid who’s ever strapped a pair of skates on knows well. Championship series. Game seven. Sudden death overtime. It’s been played out on driveways and frozen rinks for years, but on the last day of the VHL’s first decade, one rookie got to live out the dream and kick the VHL into a new era. As the first decade of play in the VHL wound down, two powerhouse teams began to emerge. On the North American side, the Toronto Legion emerged from the shadow of the dynastic Calgary Wranglers. While the Legion had been in the VHL since its inception, they had been smothered by the Wranglers and the Seattle Bears, who both dominated the North American conference. By the time S7 rolled around, the Legion were emerging as a new threat. When it came time for the S9 playoffs, they were entering their prime and swept an aging Wranglers team to face off against a rising European power- the Riga Reign. In S8, the Stockholm Rams relocated to Latvia to become the Reign. In their first season, they fought tooth and nail to take down the Vasteras IK in seven games and win the European Conerence playoffs. In the finals, they pushed the Calgary Wranglers to six games, but were unable to beat the veteran squad. The next year, they finished atop their conference and bowled over the Helsinki Titans in a four games, winning a ticket to face the Legion in the finals. The two star-laden teams traded blows relentlessly and forced each other into seven games. In this first meeting of giants, the Legion managed to pull out a regulation win in game seven, bringing the Continental Cup to Toronto for the first time and helping cement their role in VHL history. This wasn’t the last of either team however, as they found themselves facing off in the Continental Cup finals once more the next year. The league was buzzing with hype, hoping for a repeat of the previous year’s excitement. On one side, the Toronto Legion could establish themselves as a dynasty with a win in the series. On the other, Riga was thirsty for their first championship after coming short in the finals two years in a row. The stage was set for one of the greatest match-ups the VHL had ever seen. Once again the teams fought a phenomenal series. They traded wins and found themselves in a seventh game for the second year in a row. This time, when the horn rung after sixty minutes, the score was tied. The VHL was about to enter a sudden death overtime for the Continental Cup for the first time in its history. Both squads came out flying, and seven minutes into the overtime the Legion’s Kevin Brooks fired a puck at the net. Branden Snelheid redirected the shot, and the puck drifted towards an open cage, only to deflect off the post with a quick ping. This opened up the opportunity for Riga, and a few minutes later the team’s star rookie Zak Rawlyk found himself with the puck. With the world on his stick, he walked in and wired a shot. The red light lit up. Zak Rawlyk had delivered the Reign their first Continental Cup. In the years to come both teams would have to wait to win another cup, but for two glorious seasons, the Legion and Reign set a fire under the league. This helped to carry the VHL into its second decade, and keep the spirit and history of the league alive for years to come.
  8. I'll have you remember that Rogue Squadron was banned.
  9. Historical doesn't need to be like Alfie historical, things can be historical in many ways
  10. They're errywhere. We need to stop this.
  11. http://losttype.com/ Small selection, but all of them are kick ass
  12. I care about the VHLM when I'm in it. To say only noobs care is taking an elitist viewpoint. I remember a time when the VHLM didn't matter and we actively campaigned to make it a bigger deal and make it more important so that new members would feel a part of the league. This VHLM reform is going the opposite direction of the VHLM reform that Victor fought so hard for before.
  13. Yeah, I was hoping for a bit more variance with the votes, but there was a 4-way tie for 3rd place so I just randomized
  14. 6 shots on goal. It's gonna be a long one.
  15. The first round is through, and we've found ourselves with eight members ready to take on the next challenge. Ninetyfourgoalie and Sterling have been eliminated in the first round. Thanks for your participation, better luck next time. From here on out, we're going into traditional bracket format with head-to-head faceoffs. I have divided the writers into two conferences based off my favourite authors. Any ranks that were tied were assigned randomly. Here are the matchups: Vonnegut Conference 1. Noah!! (9 Votes) 4. Edgar (4 Votes) 2. AIM-11 (6 Votes) 3. YEAH! (5 Votes) Tolkien Conference 1. Doomsday (7 Votes) 4. Phil (5 Votes) 2. Green (5 Votes) 3. Diamond_Ace (5 Votes) This Week's Assignment: For this week's assignment you must write a historical media spot. It can focus on an event that has happened, a review of a historical team or player, or any other aspect of VHL history. Be creative with it, as long as it can be considered historical. Length: 450-600 words. DO NOT EXCEED. If you go over the word count by a significant amount, your article will be disqualified. Due Date: Tuesday, Dec. 23 at 11:59 PM, EST
