    I Knew It Would Happen

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted

    I knew the second I signed up for this place that there would come a point that I got bored and disappeared for a while, allowing my player to end up under performing and not reaching his full potential. Kronos was built as a defense guy when I created him because that was the position that was needed. As someone that doesn't watch a lick of hockey, I knew this would be a bad idea because I would end up getting bored and not understanding how to weigh how awesome he is doing. I deff didn't think it would happen as early as it did for me. Now with Kronos as a champion, where do I go from here?

     

    I maxed out his scoring because I thought that maybe getting some goals would make me interested in him again. A high scoring defense guy doesn't really put up enough goals to make me change my outlook. Community here is great, it's just the sport has been unable to peak my interest outside of this site. Basketball and football have always been my go to sports and I've been trying to broaden my interest by paying more attention to the others, but something about hockey just hasn't made me care about it yet. 

     

    Kronos isn't going to be retired. He was a number one draft pick and I plan to put in the effort to make him a memorable one, it's just I'm worried that will come in spurts PT wise. I got to get a little more invested in this thing because I'm too damn competitive to sit back and let one of my players be average, even if I have no idea what the hell I am doing.

    Claimed:Promises Kept

     The Rig Reign and Titan Kronos have done it. The former #1 overall pick turned role player has kept the promise he made from day one when Riga showed confidence in taking him above the rest of his draft class. Kronos promised to help turn Riga back into a contender and help them end up holding a cup high above their heads in celebration as champions. While many would have hoped that Kronos would be one of the top guys on the roster at that point, it does not seem to bother the cross sport champion in the slightest. With a USFL Championship and VHL Cup to his name, Titan Kronos is just happy to be here.

    Taking me number one overall was a risky move, but I think Riga still made the right choice. I was new to the sport and still trying to get my skates under me. I was and still am a raw prospect that has been trying to just get better each and every day. At the end of my rookie season, I could tell my interest was diminishing and that I wasn't going to pan out into the top guy that you would hope to get number one overall. My position and the way I have trained...it has all been kind of on the fly. I haven't really known what I was doing despite people explaining to me the easiest way to get to stardom. This team has seen so many heart breaks and I think me realizing I was going to need to take a back seat to some better talent was the right move for this franchise.

     

    When the final buzzer sounded and the Riga Reign were crowned champions, Titan Kronos couldn't hold back the emotions. He was genuinely happy.

    These guys deserved it. I know I wasn't the biggest help in the world, but I feel like every single member of this team earned that championship. Everyone played their part and when things were looking rough, they dug down deep and finished strong. We won two game sevens to make this happen. TWO! I wanted to be the star that won it for us, but I've come to realize I may not ever end up being that player. I promised to bring Riga a championship and although I didn't get the game winning goal, I was able to keep that promise. This team was magical and I am glad that I was able to be a part of it. 

     

    With his contract coming to an end, Kronos reassured that this isn't the last time we see him on the ice.

    Riga hasn't discussed an extension of any sorts and I don't really blame them. I haven't played up to my projections thus far in my career. This championship win though.....I don't know man. It feels really damn good. I don't want this to be the last time I feel this way on the ice. I think I have a lot to offer teams and I am going to see what I can do to get my activity up to par with the league max. I can get better and I think for my next cup win, I can be a key part of whatever team I am on.

     

    Claimed:Kronos Lack of Practice Hours Alarming Riga Officials [Reviewed]

    Going number one overall has a lot of pressure attached to it. Expectations are higher than they are for most players and for your entire career you will have to watch over your should and see if the other guys from your draft class are doing better. Right now, any active player is doing better than Riga player Titan Kronos. In a weird turn of events, Kronos has seen minimal improvement in his game since entering the VHL. As a number one pick, this simply can not happen. You are supposed to be a building block for your team and Kronos has been nothing more than a disappointment. Media has attempted to track Kronos down for months now, but he has been ducking his media responsibilities. Out of the blue, Kronos was the one to approach the media after a Riga Reign closed practice session ended.

    I bet you guys are wondering what's been going on?

     

    The first quote Kronos gave in months was a rhetorical question.

    I've been bored. I switched to hockey because I felt like the physicality of the sport would allow me to itch that competitive feeling I had. It satisfied it for a while, but it just doesn't seem to really do that for me anymore.  I find myself zoning out while coach is talking and thinking about other things. I'm not sure if my heart isn't in it or if I have developed some so of ADHD or what. I haven't gone to the doctor about it or anything because I'm a man and I deal with my problems the right way....with pussy and alcohol. Oh yeah, I think I might have a drinking problem now. 

     

    Kronos gave a slight chuckle and pulled out a flask. He took a swig and carried on.

    Whaaaat? It's Hawaiian Punch......mixed with vodka. Seriously, though I think I'm fine. This year has just been really stressful because it's a contract year and I know I'm not going to get what I would have a few seasons ago. Riga has talent now and they don't really need me. I was aiming to get a big payday after my first deal because who doesn't like money. Maybe I can work my way back into a great deal or something. With the team being great right now though, I think they might try to keep me around? Who knows. Maximoff got an extension so maybe they don't think I'll give the proper amount of effort in practice. 

     

    Kronos stared off into the distance, his eyes confirming he was hammered.

    We might win the cup this year. I'm not used to calling a championship that, but thats what it is. I wonder if they will let me drink out of it?

    Pfft, casual. I do that in five days. And I never know when my days off are!

     

    jk, it's terrible, I know. The season was supposed to start yesterday or Tuesday or something, yet here I am.

     

    It's in 5 days for me too lol. Would probably search for a new job if I were required to work weekends on top of that during our busy season. 

     

    We're finally slowing down.

    Looks like I wont be able to get full updates again this week guys. I was able to crank out my SBA PTs, but I'm just not feeling up to sitting at the computer any longer today. Spend the majority of the weekend at the hospital because my step daughter got bit on the face by a dog
