  1. Hello, I usually just do the top skaters, but I decided to do all skaters who recorded more than 0 VHFL points. It's fun that way. If I've missed any players that are retired, or will be auto-retired at the end of this season, please let me know.

    you'd trade your star player for a 7th smh congrats @Moon_50!
  4. 1. I've always dreamed of dying my hair green and being the Joker. My hair this year is the longest it's ever been, so it could work. Maybe if I keep growing it out, it'll be viable next year. 2. I don't think we need to level up or try to make a sweeping change to our structure right now. We're doing well, so just gotta stick to our game and the wins will come. 3. Well I suppose there's only one right answer to this question lol, and that's that I hope so. 4. Stevo Inactivo!!!!! I think. Whoever Ray's brother was . 5. I don't think I will ever subscribe to him, I don't find cringe content amusing. 6. Absolutely. We're rolling with strong performances across the board. I think we're ready to square off against anyone!
  5. It's been a blast having you here with us! I 100% don't regret giving up a lottery pick for you, you've been all that and more for us
  6. 1. For motivation, probably myself I suppose. Usually the first one to react to daily sims. For humor, I think a few different people provide that, from Phil Stein, to Sam, to Tristan. 2. Well, I'd love to lace up for Moscow but that may come in due time. In Minnesota though, I've been glued to the first line so I'm pretty happy with it! 3. I like to hang out in Pittsburgh, they've got some pretty nice areas and places to hang out around the city, so I prefer to spend some time there. 4. In football, I generally go 7 if I'm a quarterback, 90 on defense. But hockey may have to be 81, it's the number I generally pick for my BAP's in chel. 5. Probably winning the Victory Cup in S76, we had a great team and the vibes were immaculate. 6. I've only been to one NHL game, and that was back in 2009 I think, a Devils/Panthers game I think, and we were given first row tickets. I have bought tickets to a Devils/Penguins game early 2022, so that should be a great time!

  8. Edit: Formerly named "I goofed up and read Kellinger as Killinger so here's a HOF article for a player that isn't in the HOF, but I sure as shit am getting TPE out of this." Ok, so a nice backstory here. S79 HOF Induction happened, I didn't really pay attention to it. I just knew Hogan got in from Discord. Later in the week, I saw Victor post that we needed HOF articles written up, and since they're 5 uncapped TPE, I jumped at the opportunity. There were a couple other folks in the thread, and the one unclaimed one that no one seemed to want was a player being referenced to as Kellinger. I read it as Killinger, aka Erik Killinger, Peace's forward turned defenseman. So below is my HOF article for a player that isn't in the HOF, and may never even get inducted to the HOF. Let this be a lesson to check player names to the individual letter. --- Position: D Birthplace: Canada Height: 6'5" Weight: 208 lbs Jersey Number: Drafted: S71 Round 1, Pick 11 (London) Username: @Peace Erik Killinger was a truly special talent. Once an oversized sniper of a winger that lacked any edge or grit, Killinger bloomed into one of the best all-around defensemen in the most recent expansion era of the VHL. Despite lighting up the league as a rookie with 53 points in 72 games, Killinger made the decision to transition into a blue-liner to better assist the team that drafted him, the Toronto Legion. Across his stoic 8 year career, Erik Killinger managed to average over a point per game, and only dipped below a point per game in a season during his rookie and sophomore seasons in the league. As he grew older, his all-around game improved as well, not only driving the offense for any team he played for, but also going from under 100 hits in a season to being one of the most physical players in the league. Although the teams he played for experienced plenty of flux and heartbreak, Killinger’s underlying play was generally rock solid, earning him a place in the VHL Hall of Fame. Career Stats Regular Season 575GP / 158G / 432A / 597P / +25 / 1980 SHT / 1100 PIM / 1643 HIT / 1055 SB / 21 GWG / 75 PPG / 3 SHG Postseason 34GP / 10G / 23A / 33P / -2 / 112 SHT / 72 PIM / 124 HIT / 80 SB / 1 GWG / 5 PPG / 0 SHG Career Awards (S69) Founder’s Cup (SSK) (S77) Sterling Labatte Trophy (Top Defenseman) (LDN) (S77) Jake Wylde Trophy (Top Defensive Defenseman) (LDN) S69 Saskatoon Regular Season 24GP / 2G / 6A / 8P / +13 / 33 SHT / 10 PIM / 16 HIT / 3 SB / 0 GWG Postseason 14GP / 4G / 4A / 8P / +3 / 27 SHT / 0 PIM / 4 HIT / 1 SB / 2 GWG In Erik Killinger’s debut VHLM season, he chose to sign with one of the favorites to win the Founder’s Cup - the Saskatoon Wild. Although he only saw limited minutes as he adjusted to the pace of professional hockey, his impact on the ice can’t be underestimated. A highly intelligent and athletically gifted player, Killinger picked up 8 points in 24 regular season games, even throwing his 6’5” frame around a little bit. In the playoffs, Killinger flashed the offensive potential that he’d soon develop even further, with 4 goals and 4 assists in just 14 games as the Wild proceeded to win the Founder’s Cup that season. S70 Houston Regular Season 72GP / 62G / 62A / 124P / +55 / 411 SHT / 26 PIM / 54 HIT / 20 SB / 13 GWG / 12 PPG / 2 SHG Postseason 8GP / 3G / 4A / 7P / 0 / 31 SHT / 4 PIM / 6 HIT / 2 SB / 1 GWG / 1 PPG / 0 SHG As the first overall selection of the S70 VHLM Dispersal Draft by the Houston Bulls, all eyes were on Killinger who had seemingly made a name for himself as a top offensive winger in the S71 Draft Class. Expectations were through the roof and in his first full season, Killinger delivered to the tune of 62 goals and 62 assists for a total of 124 points and a +55 rating. A truly jaw dropping offensive output from such a young player, but one to be expected from a first overall selection. Unfortunately, the offensive performance didn’t translate into the playoffs that year, with Killinger putting up only 3 goals and 4 assists in 8 games, leaving him to turn his sights on the impending VHL draft. S71 Toronto Regular Season 72GP / 28G / 25A / 53P / +6 / 358 SHT / 42 PIM / 92 HIT / 35 SB / 4 GWG / 6 PPG Somehow, the top pick of the S70 VHLM Draft made it down to the 11th selection of the S71 VHL Draft, where Toronto was more than happy to draft the big bodied winger. In an interview before the season began, Killinger mused over his goals for the season, hoping to score around 60 points, but realizing the era he was in could result in a more manageable 30 point season. With 4 rookie forwards debuting on the team in the same year, Killinger was given the opportunity to play on the first line immediately, alongside Chad Magnum and Nethila Dissanayake. Despite the Legion finishing last in the North American conference, Killinger enjoyed a productive rookie season, posting 28 goals and 25 assists, reinforcing the idea that he could become the top offensive threat for Toronto’s future. S72 Toronto Regular Season 72GP / 14G / 50A / 64P / -11 / 236 SHT / 152 PIM / 217 HIT / 142 SB / 0 GWG / 11 PPG Playoffs 7GP / 0G / 2A / +2 / 22 SHT / 16 PIM / 40 HIT / 12 SB / 0 GWG / 0 PPG In the offseason before S72, Killinger made a shocking decision - to switch from a forward, to a defenseman along with Leon and Gabriel Gutzwiler. With 3 sophomore forwards and 2 more rookie forwards joining the team in S72, Killinger chose to play back as a blue-liner to provide the team more flexibility. While Killinger had never really shown the capability to play with his enormous size as a forward, the move to defense seemed to have refocused Killinger, unlocking his physical side to the tune of 217 hits and 142 blocked shots. A player that once was categorized as unable to use his massive frame was now on his way to being a top offensive/physical defenseman. The move seemingly helped Toronto as a whole, as the Legion snuck past the Vancouver Wolves to claim the final playoff spot in the NA Conference and secure a first round date with the Calgary Wranglers. However, Killinger was poor in his playoff debut, struggling to make an offensive impact in the series, notching only 2 assists in the 7 game series. A heartbreaking 4-3 loss in Game 7 sent the Legion packing, with hopes to return the next season. S73 Toronto Regular Season 72GP / 19G / 62A / 81P / +1 / 232 SHT / 174 PIM / 250 HIT / 166 SB / 4 GWG / 9 PPG S73 marked a memorable point in the VHL, as four new teams were added to the league through expansion. Maybe not so memorable was that Toronto missed the playoffs yet again, but three players on the Legion tried their absolute hardest to avoid it from happening - Teemi Lehtinen Jr, Chad Magnum, and Erik Killinger. For the first time in his young career, Killinger averaged at least a point per game, putting up 19 goals and 62 assists from the blue line. He continued to build on the physical side of his game, adding 250 hits and blocking 166 shots, but in the end, Toronto was still left floundering outside the playoffs, and Killinger headed into the offseason with renewed vigor, hoping to finally make it past the first round of the playoffs. S74 Toronto Regular Season 72GP / 18G / 71A / 90P / +27 / 252 SHT / 156 PIM / 210 HIT / 138 SB / 1 GWG / 11 PPG Postseason 12GP / 4G / 15A / 19P / 11 / 50 SHT / 30 PIM / 41 HIT / 37 SB / 0 GWG / 2 PPG In arguably the best season of Killinger’s career, Toronto easily secured a playoff spot off the tremendous efforts of the stud blue liner. With 18 goals and 71 assists for 90 points, Killinger was the 6th best defenseman in points, and landed just outside the top 10 for both hits and shots blocked. A truly complete performance by Killinger throughout the season led Toronto to the playoffs for just the second time in his career, where they matched up against the perennial cup contenders, the Seattle Bears in a best of seven series. Although they dropped the first game, Toronto stormed back to win the next four in a row, setting up a second round matchup with the Vancouver Wolves. The series went all the way, with Vancouver winning both Game 6 and 7 to move on, leaving Toronto heartbroken. Killinger had another career best, this time in playoff performance, putting up 19 points in 12 games. While the team had met its goal of getting past the first round, a second round exit was no better. With key members of the team facing UFA and retirement, GM Rylan Peace was ready to make some massive changes. S75 London Regular Season 72GP / 22G / 55A / 77P / -10 / 213 SHT / 168 PIM / 229 HIT / 133 SB / 1 GWG / 13 PPG Postseason 4GP / 1G / 1A / 2P / -3 / 15 SHT / 16 PIM / 9 HIT / 6 SB / 1 GWG In the stunner of the S74-S75 offseason, London and Toronto made a mega deal that sent Erik Killinger, Chad Magnum and an S77 TOR 1st to London in exchange for London’s 1st round picks from S75 through S77. London, an expansion team, was attempting to be the first team to make a deep playoff run, and felt that they had the other pieces to make it happen. With Kevin Malone in net, and multiple young, promising forwards, it seemed like a playoff fantasy could become reality. Killinger performed as expected of a top defenseman, leading the team in points with 22 goals and 55 assists. His performance helped London sneak into the EU conference playoffs as the 5th seed, but were quickly eliminated in the best of 5 series by Moscow. S76 London Regular Season 72GP / 18G / 58A / 76P / -6 / 227 SHT / 129 PIM / 206 HIT / 132 SB / 2 GWG / 7 PPG / 1 SHG Despite another year of growth, and the acquisitions of Kevin King from Vancouver and Julian Nousiainen, London failed to reach the playoffs in S76. By his lofty standards, even Erik Killinger had a down year. However, he still maintained his point per game pace, putting up 18 goals and 58 assists, and continued to be a physical defender on both ends of the ice, even chipping in a short handed goal this year. A frustrating year for London, and everyone was quick to move on to the next season with renewed hope and expectations of a bounce back season. S77 London Regular Season 72GP / 26G / 60A / 86P / +30 / 242 SHT / 122 PIM / 177 HIT / 182 SB / 6 GWG / 11 PPG / 2 SHG Postseason 6GP / 2G / 2A / 4P / -5 / 14 SHT / 4 PIM / 17 HIT / 14 SB / 0 GWG / 2 PPG S77 saw London make another swing for the fences, similarly to how they traded for Killinger from Toronto. This time, Bahram Kamkar, Kevin Malone, Maksim Yakolevsky, Philip Stein, the 3rd overall pick in the S77 draft, and a S78 LDN 3rd went to Moscow in exchange for award winning goalie Jacob Tonn, superstar Mikko Lahtinen entering his final season before retirement, and Moscow’s 1st round pick in S77 which turned out to be That Dude. With such pedigree coming into London to reinforce the team, playoff aspirations were back on the table, and Killinger had a new hop in his step. For the first time in a long time, Killinger didn’t lead his team in scoring, not even in the top 3, but still managed to put up 26 goals and 60 assists, earning him Labatte and Wylde honors at the end of the season for a truly spectacular defensive performance. Defensemen scoring over 25 goals in that era were rare, and Killinger managed to do it with ease, putting up 6 game winning goals and 2 short handed goals as well. The overall success of the team granted them a path straight into the playoffs as the second seed, avoiding the play-in round entirely. In the first round, they met the Helsinki Titans, where the Titans just couldn’t be stopped, winning 4-2 and sending Killinger home early once again. S78 Helsinki/Toronto Regular Season 71GP / 13G / 50A / 63P / -12 / 210 SHT / 157 PIM / 262 HIT / 127 SB / 3 GWG / 7 PPG Postseason 5GP / 3G / 3A / 6P / -5 / 11 SHT / 6 PIM / 17 HIT / 11 SB / 0 GWG / 1 PPG In the penultimate season of Erik Killinger’s career, London graciously provided the veteran defenseman with the opportunity to return back to where his career started. Toronto acquired Killinger and an S80 2nd in exchange for Micah Adrienne and an S80 3rd. Despite Toronto signalling an intent to compete for a playoff spot, they struggled, and Killinger wasn’t quite his consistent self. In 51 games with Toronto, Killinger scored 10 goals and notched 35 assists, but a -22 rating. At the trade deadline, Toronto decided to blow it all up, sending Killinger to Helsinki in exchange for an S79 2nd and S80 3rd. Helsinki was having a better season at that point, and Killinger once again flashed the all-around skills that made him a top defenseman in the league, with 3 goals and 15 assists in 20 games with the Finnish team. In the playoffs, Killinger seemed to have returned to form, with 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 games against the Malmo Nighthawks. In a crushing loss though, Malmo won the series in Game 5, with a 7-4 win, closing the curtains on the final chapter of one of the best all-around defensemen in VHL history.

  10. Hi circling back, @.boom please confirm I recruited you!
  11. So this sounds like the WJC/WC discord server where the LR's are built into the main server. It's great in the sense that it's a centralized community with a very specific focus. People talk trash to each other, have general conversations. It's a slightly less cluttered gen chat, since there are less people in the server. It's pretty good for those short offseason tournaments. The problem is that I don't think the actual smaller LR's within are used like individual servers would be. Even in Pro-AM or the Junior Showcase Tournament, both of which were structured the same way, there's an initial flurry of activity - as there is in all new channels/servers. It dies off pretty quickly, and I think it's because it's not really personable. Just a standard team chat, announcement chat, lines chat. Part of why server LR's are fun are because the content within it is catered and organized to how the people in the server like them. It's also a significant step GM's take to make teams their own. I've seen plenty of M LR's change appearance drastically when new GM's take over, as channels are removed and added to fit what the GM wants to do. I'd rather not put the burden to customize a centralized LR on mods or staff when I could just do it myself, or have an AGM do it. Plus deleting a server isn't the end of the world, the next GM would end up remaking it anyways. I've seen M GM's reset all their chats and private channels anyways before passing it over (not that it should be done if there's nothing to hide, but there's plenty of instances of it I can recall off the top of my head), so no history is really ever 100%. Hell, we even had gen chat completely reset and purged and it was owned by staff. Nice going guys . I really don't think 2 isolated incidents of GM's rage quitting mean that we need to be completely changing how we treat team LR's and how they're owned/where they are.
  12. 1. Well, I'm mostly focused on the rest of the regular season ahead of us. We've got to build some chemistry and get used to all of the new faces on the team. Then we can worry about playoffs once we get there. 2. I'm very excited to have signed both my brothers to our team in their professional hockey debuts! It's going to be difficult to play together in the future, so this is probably the only time when we'd be able to play together. It's special for sure, and hopefully we can all do well this season. 3. I've been to one NHL game back when I was in 5th grade, and I'd definitely like to go to another one. There weren't any NHL teams near me when I was in college, but I think I can probably catch a Devils game when the Pens come to play. Speaking of which, I'm going to go check out tickets for when the Pens come to town and if I'm free during those times. 4. Getting a player of his quality is always exciting, and maybe we'll get a chance to play together on a line. As I said earlier, the focus now will just be building chemistry with each other and hopefully getting on the same page to get wins every night. 5. I am from Greece (as a player), but born and raised in New Jersey. 6. Well, I suppose you've answered your own question
  13. It's been revoked and your TPE has been rolled back. Feel free to claim this anytime.
  14. we saw the build and didn't want to touch it
