Evans

I was wondering why I got a random lingerie pic today

Review: Love seeing articles about the VHLM. Would deff say that you guys are playing better than I expected you to. Seems to be a pretty competitive season in the minors this year and I think that is always best for league activity. Brampton will be keeping our eyes on you guys. 

I had some computer issues but got them all sorted out now. 

"How great of a feeling was it to go number one overall?"
 
The ringing in my ears seemed to subside just enough for me to make out the words. The bright lights of the ESPN Sportscenter set engulfed me as if I were a small child in a tidal wave. The more you try to swim, the more it pulls you under. I can feel my eyes squint as I try to look as natural as possible.
 
"Well, Britt, it was a great feeling. Coming from my background, going first overall in this draft was something that many thought would never be possible. People thought that I didn't have the proper amount of experience to build a team around. I don't agree with those people, but it is very easy to see where they come from with that opinion. My favorite part of the night was definitely seeing the look on the faces of the guys who doubted me as I made my way up to shake the commissioners hand. I don't think it's a sight I'll soon forget."
 
Britt McHenry adjusted herself  to correct her posture. Despite the impression given on television that the entire Sportscenter telecast is live, this interview was being recorded to be inserted into the lineup during one of their later run times. I believe it was being recorded more so due to how unpredictable I am in their eyes. 
 
"The Riga Reign enter this rebuild rather aggressively, rather than just sitting back and waiting as talent develops. Do you like the way the GM has handled things?"
 
This seemed to be a trap questions for most people in my position. A hesitation or even a slight indifference regarding the moves of your GM is front page news, regardless of the sport being the lesser of the four majors. They knew I had no issue with how things were going. I wasn't going to let them make me look like a dick head.
 
"I was probably one of the biggest fans of the moves that we made. Many people don't take into consideration that when you are rebuilding, you must give the people on the roster a reason to stick around. Rebuilds aren't quick and flashy. Usually they are a slow and drawn out process. This can lead to the guys that were apart of the rebuild from the very beginning becoming very uneasy about their situation. If enough progress isn't made, you risk losing guys in free agency and the rebuild turns into a team in peril for five plus seasons. Maximoff was a top prospect this season and the move made sense. When a player like that is dangling in front of a franchise, you go get him. I would have had a problem if this deal was on the table and we decided not to do it to use the pick we traded on someone else."
 
Britt's eyes shift back to her papers that were sitting in her lap. The blue dress she wore perfectly outlined her figure despite being in a seated position. She wanted something interesting and she was going to find a way to get it.
 
"A recent article was published about your draft class where the consensus was that you would go 4th overall if the draft were to reoccur today. What are your thoughts on that?"
 
A smug smile slowly spread across her face as she knew the footage of her during my response would not be used. She almost seemed to be challenging me...daring me to speak my mind about it.
 
"People are always entitled to their opinions on things like that. It doesn't mean that they are right. I mean, many people expressed how they thought you were a stuck up bitch because of the way you treated that towing company employee. Do you think all of them were right with what they said? I would assume that you disagree?"
 
The smile quickly disappeared from her face and the set became silent. The camera kept rolling.
 
"That's what I thought. There is always going to be someone out there that says I'm not good enough to live up their expectations and that's something I know I am going to have to deal with. I am one of the best in the world at what I do, despite having put far less of my free time into it than other guys have. I am a genetic freak and it shows every single time that I step on the ice, the football field, or the weight room. People continue to debate how good I can be, but they don't say a damn thing about how good I currently am. They discredit my present because of what they think the future will be. Let them think and say what they want. I was the number one pick in this draft and nothing is going to change that. Their doubts provide motivation and with each great thing I do on the ice, I am going to turn my attention to them and rub it in their faces. They expect me to sit back and be humble, but that's just no fun. Where I'm from you don't just sit there and take shit....you react and make them regret coming at you the way they did. I am a god damn star. I am the reflection of perfection. I am the next face of this damn sport. How's that for a hot take?"
 
I stand up from my seat and use my left hand to knock it over. I smile directly into the camera before making my way off-stage and toward the parking lot. They want a reaction? I'll give them one every single time. Eventually, they'll stop asking me dumb shit. 

I had some computer issues but got them all sorted out now. 

Would make the deal that got us Green even better 

Shoulda stood your ground for at least a season. 

Well, another week I won't do welfare it seems. Just found out you can get 3 uncapped tpe for a World cup related point task.
9 points versus 4, big enough difference

Thanks all for checking the thread out. We'll get right to the point here:
 
A - @Jamie/Bronson Faux
 
Faux has been a long-time captain for us, and Jamie has been captain for even longer than Faux has been around. While she isn't around as much as she used to be, she's still a big part of the team and Faux will be our centerpiece for the season. With that said, it makes sense to give Faux the A this season as we do what we can to join the European race.
 
A - @Lunaro/Vincent Virtanen
 
Lunaro was the other voice in the locker room last season. Riga was in shambles and we were just starting our rebuild, going for the number one pick. Despite the boring situation, Lunaro stuck it through and has been an absolute team-first kind of guy. He gets the A as someone who can be counted on going forward as a part of this team and someone who can help turn Riga's activity around.
 
C - @Evans/Titan Kronos
 
Rookie captain! Evans has been phenomenal before being drafted and since joining the Riga squad. He has been a natural leader thus far and will be the face of the franchise as we go towards a new era. He makes sure to keep the locker room going, asks questions when he feels he needs to, and is quick to give his opinion when I ask about possible roster moves. He's exactly what we need of our captain and we look forward to many seasons with the C on Kronos' jersey. 
 
 

Brampton represent!

I'd say I was a steal in the 3rd round, thanks for picking me.
 
I'm kinda planning on building an offensive defenseman but I'll update my defense plenty as well

Review: Just drink your issues away like Americans do. Can't feel pain if you can't get out of bed! And then you have a great excuse if you lose!

Ladies and gentlemen, someone at our lovely sponsor ESPN thought that it would be smart to have me write a weekly blog to give insights into my life as a rookie. They have given me the freedom to talk about what I want as long as I keep it rated PG-13. I think this week I will play it say and write a little something about why Riga is the perfect fit for me. 
 
1. Communication: The Riga Reign were one of only two teams to contact me prior to the draft. For a draft that was considered up in the air for the first four picks, that's kind of crazy. I would assume a high end prospect like myself would have heard from all four lottery teams, but that simply was not the case. I can't speak for the other prospects, but any team that didn't contact me I would not have wanted to play for. Riga asked me some in depth questions and did not hesitate to answer the questions I had for them in return. When it was all said and done, they told me they wanted to draft me ahead of the other guys. I liked knowing what was going to happen prior to it happening. This leads to reason two.
 
2. Consulted on Moves: I was asked how I felt about trading for Green prior to us making the trade. I like being involved on stuff like this because it is very easy to end up on a team where the GM is over thinking something and making moves just for the sake of making moves. Green has made some GOAT potential players here and even though he says he may be just a welfare player here, I don't believe him and feel like I can help light a fire under his ass. I also feel like if I were against trading for Green, that Toast would have listened to my opinion and at least taken it into consideration. 
 
3. Active LR: Rebuilding isn't fun, but having an active locker room makes up for it. There has been constant discussion going on in ours and it helps to know that people are committed to the same cause, since we aren't cup contenders this season.
 
I know going #1 hurt my chances at winning a championship early in my career, but it allows me to most likely win one as a main component rather than a minor piece. 

Hows this look?
 
75 TPE to spend
 
Defense: 70 + 20 (@2) = 80
Skating: 73 + 14 (@2) = 80
Scoring: 70 + 20 (@2) = 80
Passing: 62 + 8 = 70
Puck Handling: 70 + 13 (@2) = 76 1/2

I want to be the GOAT D man

Welcome @solas!

I suggested this literally just for mobile convience. Having it at the top helps people notice it's there also. When I first signed up for the site, I had no idea I even had a locker room for probably a week. 
 
There is no crazy activity shifting negatives or positives to this move so I don't understand why anyone is acting like it does. Simply makes me more likely to post in my LR on my phone, which is a big deal for me throughout the day. Trying something different out is always good for an established league like this one because if it doesn't go well, we can always go back or find a different route. 
 
Now Im off to find another controversial suggestion because I'm on a fucking roll.
