"Hulk Hogan and George Washington fight to a draw at 7:07 of 3rd period" One of the most American things I've ever read.

Thank you, and thanks for all the work in doing this.

Should this be worth 3 then @Bushito?

@Bushito for the goals/assists/points/etc if there are multiple people who tie do you have to have predicted all of them?

@Acydburn I'm still in the VHLM, I would like to be tagged in the future

I always loved watching Last Name play when i was growing up. Sad that he never played for D.C. though.

Great read, thanks to the writers for putting this together.

Good thing I'm a real adult and don't let people tell me how i eat my food. Also if you don't accept ketchup or any other condiment on hot dogs, you can fight me. I only settle disputes in 1 of 2 ways. Winner takes all Mario Kart 64 rainbow road or N64 Goldeneye Slappers only, no Oddjob.

As someone who is very new I am seeing things differently. As a short background I found VHL randomly in some twitter replies, I had no idea what a sim league was or any idea what my interest level would be once i started. I'm not in any danger of leaving but my excitement has certainly died down a bit while I'm sitting around. Checking my stats was the first thing i was doing every morning, and I looked forward to checking out the advanced stats posted in the team's discord on my lunch break. I'm at a point where every game my player is in is kinda exciting. Most of my games are just me getting a hit or two but i want to see that. I'll be honest, I'm not really following the playoffs. It doesn't matter how competitive the games are I'm not at a point where I'm overly concerned with how other are doing. I'm sure this will change over time as I get to know more people through playing with them or just knowing the community longer. I'm not sure how other new players view things but this is how I do currently. That being said, obviously there is probably some downtime that can't be avoided. Most teams will lose out in the playoffs at some point and I'm not sure what off seasons look like here but there is probably some there too. That's something that I'll get used to but even if my team got dumpstered in the first round being included in more stuff would be more fun. This post has gotten away from me a bit as it's getting late for me but hopefully everything makes sense.

What does the BOG do?

My first goal and point!

1) The Reapers added two Free Agents in the past week, D - Griff Manzer ( @Garsh) and G - Isak Sjostrom ( @Austin2997) to the team. What item did you contribute to their welcome gift basket? Well I can neither confirm or deny that i may have re-gifted the bottle of sauerkraut that I received from Jacob. 2) D - Jacob Perry ( @Liberty_Cabbage) is leading all VHLM players with 17 powerplay goals. Why do you think he has so much success on the powerplay? He has great patience and waits for the perfect shot. 3) Isak Sjostrom has worked hard enough in his short time in Philadelphia to be named the new starting goalie. Do you think this was a good move for the Reapers? Absolutely, he's working hard and improving every day. He's a guy who wants to win. 4) D - Richard Fitzwell ( @Tomato Soup)recently scored his first goal in the VHLM, what do you suggest he do with the puck? I would enshrine it on a mantel above the fireplace 5) Say the Reaper team ended up on an island in a Hunger Games Battle Royale scenario, who would win? How come? Thormund Giantsbane. We had a recent team building activity at one of those axe throwing places, he was by far the best at it. 6) What’s your best non-hockey related skill? I do a little bit of writing on the side. Check out my new Sci-Fi novel Atlantis Retreating.
