  1. Hmmmm
  2. Looks like I spend too much time here.
  3. Make them lime green
  4. I'm surprised Riga has the lowest Fenwick Against considering they are 10th in shot blocks. I guess they just don't let the shots get off in the first place.
  5. Nice sig! If you post the direct image link the image will automatically show on the forums. Typically to do this just right click on an image and click copy image address. Hope that helpsA
  6. Congrats to all the winners
  7. Not like you have the picks to pick him up.
  8. Corey who? I've never heard that name in the VHL. The only Crawford I know is the former Mexico City star Solomon Crawford.
  9. I'm sorry you have to battle with @DollarAndADream now
  10. Theme week +6
  11. @efiug When I first heard the theme this week was “Unsung Heros” I wasn’t sure who I’d write about. This is only my second season here so I don’t have a large history to call upon. My initial thoughts were either Gustav or Berocka but I feel both of their accomplishments and contributions to the league are pretty well known. I then went back into my first season in the VHLM. I looked at a few players but most of them already had articles written about them. Then I finally thought about who I should write about. I chose a player who doesn’t have the most TPE and probably doesn’t make the biggest impact on the teams they’ve been on but has been a great active individual in every discord I’ve shared with them. This player is Nicolas Fomba @efuig. In just 2 seasons, Fomba has played for 3 different VHLM teams in 3 different countries and was drafted to a 4th different country in the VHL. I’ve shared 3 out of those 4 locker rooms with them and they’ve always been great to be around. Even though they’ve been passed around a bunch, this French goalie has always been a slow but consistent TPE earner. Let’s take a look at the places they’ve played. They started in season 68 where they joined the Hounds. This is where I first met Fomba. They seemed like a decent backup goalie. What really stood out to me was their locker room presence. This will become a common theme the more I see Fomba. During their time with the Hounds they put up an impressive 7-3-1 record with a 0.812 save%. Then all of a sudden the Hounds goalie situation got switched up and Fomba ended up getting traded to the Marlins. While Fomba was in the Marlins I didn’t pay too much attention to their career. However, Fomba stayed active in the Hounds locker room which I really enjoyed. They always had something good to add to the conversation. The Marlins turned out to be a great place for Fomba going 19-9-0. They even beat the Hounds at least once. Overall they’d end season 68 with 26-12-1 record and a 0.852 save%. They ended up being 5th overall in wins and had the highest penalty save% in the league. When S69 rolled around Fomba was eligible to be drafted. I had become the AGM of Mexico City and knew Fomba would be a solid goalie pick. While they haven’t shined in the TPE department they’ve put up solid numbers. So far they’ve helped mexico go 44-13-5. More importantly they’ve helped revitalize a small Mexico City locker room. I’m so excited to have them in Mexico next season because they help engage new players and keep the locker room alive. They were also drafted to Riga in season 69. Luckily enough, this is also where I was drafted. Even though Fomba is still in the VHLM they pop in to the Riga locker room and it’s always fun when they do. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see Fomba play for Riga but I’m glad they are in the locker room. Fomba is proof you don’t have to be the best TPE earner or best player to make an impact. They’ve been a wonderful asset in both the Hounds and Mexico City locker rooms and I’m glad I get to be apart of that. Nicolas Fomba is my VHL Unsung Hero.
  12. Big oof 1 goal allowed on 5 shots. @DollarAndADream
  13. This one was way to close for comfort. We can do better Kings.
  14. I wouldn't be nearly as active if it wasn't for @GlowyGoat. I enjoyed the league at the start but they got me into many other activities and discords around the league that I got sucked in. I can only hope I can do half the job Glowy has done in retaining and engaging players.
  15. FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY
  16. I was over 350 by the time it started. I think they picked a day when they built the eligibility list and everything was based on that date.
  17. More like Saskacantwinagame
  18. 1. Vancouver is looking real strong this year. I think we'll have a tougher time catching them than we'll have holding off Seattle. 2. I think DC will miss them for sure and I'm gonna say Toronto also misses the playoffs in the NA. 4. Palo is killing it. Even at his age he can't be stopped. 5. Cinnamon Block has been proving she deserved to be drafted #1 OA. She's got my vote for best rookie this season. 7. I think Riga is in their heads. We are the only team they haven't beaten and it's getting to them. I don't think they'll ever beat us so they'll keep falling. 8. I think @GustavMattias, the Hounds GM, would be an interesting pick for VHL GM.
  19. Only 2 weeks left in the season. Let's get a final push to earn some TPE. Answer the questions, claim the 2 TPE. If you have any questions about claiming or earning TPE let me know! 1. We've clinched a playoff spot! Who are you most worried about facing in the playoffs? 2. Saskatoon finally got a 2nd lost to the Hounds, who do you think is going to beat them next? 3. We are getting close to the playoffs, who do you think has the best shot to win the cup? 4. We picked up Stone Wolski recently, how much of an impact do you think they'll make in the playoffs? 5. Out of your teammates, who is the Mexico City MVP so far? 6. Who do you think is the MVP of the VHLM so far?
