It was a tough choice, but if we hadn't made that move, I'm sure your extension would have had an NTC on it. Just had to try and go for it while we still had some ELCs to flex with

We love NTCs in Moscow

1. I'm a bit miffed at how poorly Syko is playing and how adding a defense upgrade has us playing worse than before. I had higher expectations than a WC spot. 2. Probably Warsaw, even with Summers I wasn't sure if they'd take much of a step forward compared to last season. On the flip side, Helsinki for seemingly struggling a lot before trading players away. But too little too late for them. 3. It's been rough in the sims so a bit of that definitely carries over. Weather has also been getting nicer so I hope others are also enjoying time away from online activities. 4. Said it before, Syko is shite. 5. We have line tweaks coming in today, we'll see what worked best across the season for playoffs. 6. Definitely not the new Taylor Swift album(s), I've seen some of the lyrics across social media and I don't get how she's considered a good lyricist. Some of the most awful lyrics and cringe topics I've ever seen in songwriting.

Fitting title for me as a GM. No cups, meme away. Could this be the season that changes? Possibly, but this is also the narrowest EU conference I've ever seen during my time as Moscow GM. Every playoff team has a chance to still clinch the top seed, or go on a few game skid that would result in a fall to the 5th seed and a wild card appearance. Moscow currently sits 4th in the standings, just a few points away from the lead. Inconsistent performances against stiff competition have dropped Moscow from the top seed, but Kronchy Kardashian's @Garsh addition will hopefully provide some stability once the chemistry and lines begin to click. Outside of Moscow, I feel like I'm just pretty unaware. Or just not caring for much. I've noticed myself struggling to finish my one 2 TPE task per week beyond my job pay, and I don't read as much on the forums as I used to. Could just be an effect from moving out and having a better life going on, could also be VHL burnout. Whether that's actually burnout or not is to be seen, as I'm still pretty comfortably maintaining my 12/capped per week average across my now 4 year VHL career. GM'ing is still a treat, and Moscow has a nice future asset pool to make use of. But I'm just not seeing much else around the VHL community to spark interest beyond my LR and the league/gaming folks in the main server. Quick, someone go start some drama (if mods come asking, it wasn't me encouraging it).

Free point for the last question, nice

Actually criminal

Scammed

Damn

NICKY! Pls don't post instructions for how to make cocaine this go around

1. Sidney Crosby no doubt, just the best all around player in the game and would be an elite player to add to Moscow's forward core. 2. I imagine Leif Reingaard has decently style, could envision @Zetterberg and his creativity with graphics translating over to fashion. 3. Yotes bc they're gone already pretty much lol 1. Who's been your favorite GM during your time in the VHL/E/M? Why? 2. What do you think makes a LR fun in the VHL? 3. What's the best method you've seen that keeps a LR active?

Idk about the SBA but VHL terms = Grape getting benched

Cheers on the chats @samx @asteria godspeed in HSK, thank you for all the contributions for us. I hope you continue to enjoy the VHL! @Garsh welcome I guess

The Kunitz to our Crosby???

hmmm

1. Ideally we'd like to remain 1st for the remaining schedule, but I think it'll be a very difficult accomplishment considering how strong the rest of the EU is. 2. Realistically anyone in the EU who is also gunning for the top spot. I don't particularly worry about any one team in specific, we've beat London all 3 times, 2-2 with Malmo, 4-2 with Prague. Just need to make sure we're not dropping games to allow the others to catch up. 3. I think we've been playing well yes. To be seen exactly which lines will show up as our "best" lines. 4. Realistically I think a defensive upgrade would be the only thing we consider for this season. Forwards and goalie are pretty much locked in for the foreseeable future. 5. He's been a bit up and down, definitely bouncing back a bit from a rough early season. If he can build a bit more consistency, it'll be great for the team. 6. More league-wide coordinated events to give folks more ways to interact with each other or bond over shared experiences.

Cheers man, has always been a pleasure to work with you and compete against your teams. Hope you get that sim league interest again in the future!

@Gaikoku-hito my sweet prince

Lemme see the sim results
