Please breathe some life back into those Facebook ads, dear god.

1. I think that we just didn't play to standards, offensively at least. Papa had a great playoff run and our defense was keeping opponents locked down. We just weren't getting pucks in the net when it mattered. 2. I'm working a bit on strength to avoid getting pushed around on the ice, and hopefully a bit more on skating among the same thoughts. 3. There are quite a few good ones, but I'd have to shoutout my younger brothers Cole and Calix. Both of them would be great additions to the team, although we have Papa in goal and locked up for a bit longer. 4. I could see Moreau and Markinson both being in the mix for some defensemen awards as they both had top 5 defenseman seasons. Maybe Idaho as well for being a fantastic power forward as he usually is. 5. Honestly from a roster and scheme standpoint, I think we were on the right track. It really just comes down to execution from the players and hopefully getting some more favorable bounces. Regardless, we need to put in all our efforts if we want to try to get to the finals again. 6. Well I'm sitting here watching the Pens play the Jets, and as I was about to respond to this question, the Pens scored! Good omen haha.

nice one, made me laugh

The second of the two non-uploaded podcasts, and the more recent one covering my hiring to the Financier and BOG positions, as well as mildly discussing back to back finals losses. Again, no idea what I specifically talked about outside the title, or who I mentioned in the podcast. Go nuts.

Realized that I had recorded some podcasts and uploaded to Anchor/Spotify but never published them on the forums, so here you go! No idea what I actually talked about, or who I mentioned. Probably won't even claim this lol.

Which is fine really, it keeps your media spot fresh with a bunch of different topics. And no one is saying to stop making memes, just understand that the low quality content won't be approved, and content that targets other members in a less than pleasant manner will also get denied.

Welcome to the start of S82! Here are some VHFL sign-ups for you . Apologies for the delay and the shortened sign-up time, I straight up forgot lol. But I want to make sure we have enough time to draft as there will inevitably be those pesky skips. Before you immediately hit the reply button to sign up, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the updated VHFL rules. There have been no changes since they were implemented last season. Reply below to sign up! Please also note if you would like to apply to be a group manager. Unlike previous seasons when group manager selection has been randomized, I will be selecting group managers based on historical performance in the position. While the bonus 1 uncapped TPE is coveted, I also need GM's to....actually manage their groups. As always, DM me with any questions/comments/concerns. This thread will lock automatically at 5 PM (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, January 25th.

Without the VHLE, there would be cap issues and/or roster issues in the VHL with players under 500 TPE struggling to get signed in FA. We're generally all of the opinion that actives should have homes, right? But active players weren't getting signed in FA because contenders had no cap room, and rebuilders were already running 9-4-2's and whatnot. The VHLE was a useful addition to not only give those lower TPE actives a home, but also made the VHLM more of a developmental league and allows for the VHLE to be a competitive lower league for people who aren't uber-active, but are still members of our community. Expansion was a thought, but you need to have sustainable growth (of your user base) in order to expand. A bunch of extra 250-450 TPE players doesn't merit expansion. If we expanded VHL teams back in S80, we'd likely have to drop the league cap to prevent teams from being as lopsided as they were in the VHLM last season. Hell, we already had teams running inactives in the VHL just to meet the minimum roster count this season. It's a fine line to balance how players will move between the E and VHL, and it's still getting worked on to make it as smooth as possible. Two things here. One, there was a very specific reason why your "meme" was denied, and I'm sure you're aware of it. Feel free to go back to the denial message to jog your memory. Second of all, there's a big difference between slapping some text on a meme using a meme generator, and adding a logo/player name/VHL relevant information to a graphic for VHL.com graphics. Yes, .com's are "low effort" but meme generators are basically a tier below low effort. They're amusing, they're fun, can't deny that. Include them in your Media Spot or as a header for your VHL.com articles, just make sure you're following guidelines and making sure they're appropriate. Nice article 7/10. Damn you @Beketov for the shorter, faster response

love you too, schedule a date with me using my AI secretary program built in Excel

Yeah I was also a little surprised that the change was made without a members ping, but I would hope GM's send it to their LR's and inform their players. From an updater standpoint, we provided flexibility this first week for folks slightly under word count as they may not have known about the change. We understand that it was a quiet change, so we're trying to not outright deny anyone under the word count unless it's egregiously low. Hopefully we can all adjust to the new guidelines soon!

I deserve that kind of love from the league as compensation.

@Frank!!!!!! Congrats buddy!

It's an overall look at potential process improvements to the waiver system, I don't think we're locked into any direction yet. I believe we're consulting with M GM's for their feedback and thoughts as well, as the waiver system should be a tool to assist them in their job duties, rather than a source of stress as it seems to be now.

who spun the wheel without me knowing???
