“It looks like it’s seen better days”
 
“It looks even worse than before”
 
“Has anyone stopped to consider that maybe a fairly small inanimate object attached to a pair of fairly expensive ice skates is 1) a waste of money, 2) a waste of some nice hockey skates and 3) just generally an ill-thought out idea?”
 
The saying goes that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, but this is only 50% true in the case of The Board Game Clue on Skates as board games do not have bones to break. However, depending on the size, shape and weight of said sticks and stones, they may ultimately wind up denting, perforating or damaging the structural integrity of the cardboard shell that The Board Game Clue On Skates does not call its body as it is a board game that is incapable of effectively giving itself a description through standard human means. However, the fact that it is a Board Game does mean that it is going to be unaffected mentally heading into its rookie season by the amount of dissenting opinions currently being thrown around about its horrible play.
 
Heading into the World Juniors Cup, there was a lot of expectation surrounding The Board Game Clue on Skates and for good reason, as it had recorded the third highest amount of goals in the VHLE in Season 82. However, these goals were scored as a result of envy and jealousy of its teammates, who were hitting several shots a game at full force at The Board Game Clue on Skates, leading to it scoring a lot of goals through deflections. When the off-season was reached however, the VHL (under pressure from league advertiser Hasbro) made a rule that would effectively limit the number of shots per game hit in the general direction of The Board Game Clue on Skates. As a result, The Board Game Clue on Skates went from a scoring sensation to a board game that, for some reason, had some skates attached to it overnight as its performances in the WJC were a stark contrast to the ones we had seen in the VHLE the season prior.
 
So with these rule changes, what can we actually expect from The Board Game Clue of Skates heading into its rookie season? We asked one scout about the matter and he said “Absolute shit”.

Yun Chiang has refused to waive his/her No Trade Clause (NTC) with the Riga Reign.

The trade involving this player is hereby void.

Maybe it's the new secret Thunderdome: Trivia Edition?

Series 3, Game 4: Houston Bulls vs. Halifax 21st 
This contest saw no goals through the first 20 minutes of play. Halifax opened the scoring in the 2nd period, and Houston responded with 2 goals of their own to bring a 2-1 lead into the third period. The third period saw a crazy amount of offense. Halifax scored two, followed by 4 unanswered by the Bulls. Halifax would go on to score another pair and the game ended 6-5 in favor of the Houston Bulls. Sam Tombstone had to enter the net in the 3rd for the 21st after their starter ChickenLittle allowed 5 goals.
 
Series 4, Game 4: Ottawa Lynx vs. Mexico City Kings 
The Kings had a very dominant series but finished this one off Jets vs Oilers style, as it came down to the wire in the end. Both teams got a lot of their offense out of their system in the first period. The score was 3-3 after the first 20 minutes. The 2nd period saw only 1 goal from Ottawa, and the Lynx would add another early in the third. A few minutes later the Kings responded with a goal of their own, and they went on to tie it with 3 minutes left in the third. The game went to overtime, in which Tomas Sogaard scored the game winner for Mexico on a short handed goal.
 

We were doomed from the start

I mean @nurx did jinx it about a solid dozen times. So it was to be expected, I guess?🤷‍♂️

yeah in hindsight maybe a Riga player wont get Rookie of the Year.... UNLESS THIS FINAL SIM LEDUC GOES ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND SCORES 50 GOALS AND TAKES THE LEAGUE BY STORM!!!!!!!

Game 535: Helsinki Titans vs. Chicago Phoenix 
A backup game for both teams that went about as poorly as it could have for Helsinki. At just 18:37 of the first period Xavier Booberry entered the game as Helsinki’s bot backup was pulled. He allowed 3 goals on 15 shots. Helsinki scored a single goal in the first and it ended 3-1. In the second Chicago once again opened the scoring, but Booberry stopping the bleeding there and allowed nothing past him the rest of the game. Helsinki responded with a goal in the late second and one early in the third, but Chicago held on to take it 4-3 in just their sixth win of the season.
 
Game 542: London United vs. Malmo Nighthawks 
London and Malmo faced off in a game that didn’t mean much for playoff implications on London’s end, as they look like a lock for first. However, Malmo is still fighting for a wildcard spot. They are currently in 4th but Moscow and Warsaw remain within 2 points of them. To open the scoring London scored 5 straight goals, with Malmo unable to respond until a little over halfway through the second period. Heading into the third period with a 5-1 lead, the United pulled a Toronto Maple Leafs and Malmo came roaring back with 4 straight goals to tie it. It was all for nothing however as Juice Box scored for London in the late third and the London United took it 6-5 in regulation.

Goodbye my friend. It was great having you in Saskatoon. It seems so long ago now

Hello this account is now inactive and out of use. 
I think I've done the trick within VHL and many things here don't interest me anymore! 
Here is the message that I brought to some people as part of my departure. 

 
Thank you for your confidence! It was a pleasure to play in the VHL 
I'm leaving because I feel like I've done it all. I also feel that there is an inequality in the VHL for those who don't really know how to write articles or make graphics. There are people who make almost 30 TPEs every week. And I'm not talking about the staff who earn TPE! They can afford to have crazy stats in such a short period of time while for a player who does press conferences and welfare. It doesn't give much of an option for the player who doesn't really have the photoshop skills. It's not always easy to find more than 3 sentences for a graphic either. 
I would say that this is one of the sides that makes me leave the VHL. 
I know how to do some things but nothing more and I think it's a shame because you can't really explore the field hockey side of things. 
I think the VHL could add a side like Hockey Dynasty. It would really have a Hockey feel to it. Right now it's just randomly generated stats based on the lines sent. Overall it lacks a great RP side that could improve the VHL. I feel like I'm going in circles. And I think that many people think like me. We can see this with the player activity. Most of them are the same for several years. New players come in but don't stay long for some other reason but I think there is a reason to go in circles. 
Anyway, I'm not here to complain because I had a great time in the VHL. But I just wanted to express myself on these points, sorry for the long text ahah

The VHL remains however a pleasant place where I spent a good time in company of several nice people. 

Special mention to the following people. 

@Spartan
So I'll start with you! I would like to thank you for the experience you have given me at VHL. You are a great leader! During the several months that I was in the Moscow locker room you were there and helped me to get into TPE. It's easy to talk to you! You are a very nice person despite the fact that you take for the penguins #Gobruinsgo! Ahah I'm kidding! Take care of yourself! 
 
@KaleebtheMighty and @Spaz

Kaleeb
Next I will introduce you to two very nice guys with whom I enjoyed spending time! 
So I'll start with you Kaleeb! Before entering Istanbul! You were someone who intrigued me! You may not know the story, but I had a buddy in VHL! He joined your team. He was banned for his Discord image I think. Afterwards I heard about you from several people in the VHL. "You'll see Kaleeb is a great guy" I was told. I can confirm that Kaleeb is an ultra great guy! You can talk to him if you need to! He will be there! Stay as you are and remember that no one will forget Victor! The famous player of this forum! 

Spaz
Hi Mr. Spaz! Zdeno vs Tobias were talking in the locker room! You're an engaging person! We can confide in you! With you it's not only about field hockey! Stay as you are! You are really great

@thadthrasher
 So we'll move on to Thad ! I think that among the people I worked with! Thad is the one I enjoyed working with the most! You give him the STHS software and he makes you a cup! He won all 3 cups in such a short time that day! Despite your light time! You are truly an amazing person! I can't say otherwise! You also now have a mini-warriors! Stay as you are!

@Minion
Let's move on to the Minion 
For the little time I spent with you! I can tell that you take your work seriously! Being a GM is not easy! Sometimes you have to make choices that can be difficult! And you manage to do it! You are a nice guy! Stay the way you are

@Doomsday

We will finish with the one that allowed me to take off in the VHL! The one who has been my mentor! The one who made me discover what the VHL is all about! 
I would like to thank you for your involvement in my player but also in my life when it was not going well. Field hockey is my favorite sport! The VHL has been a way to release some stress that was common in my life! Every one of us at least for 5 to 10 minutes to find out what the VHL was all about was fun!  Really stay the way you are! You are a really great person! I'm glad I met you! 

 
About 10 months ago I joined VHL through Google Play and I come out of it with experience and better English! 
You will remember me because I brought a translator named Rita to VHL! 
It was Agito under the player Zdeno Chara peace! 

I will come back to the forum one last time to see if there are any answers and if not you can add me on Discord if you want to discuss with me.

I hope you are never VHFL relevant

Ok, I was just watching Steve’s Hat Picks and saw Patty Kane score from behind the net and this question popped into my head. If you played hockey, what would be your most memorable highlight? That’s the question.
 
Since I asked, let me start off. My Junior year high school I started to play Men’s Hockey with local park district. I was not allowed to play high school hockey because I was 18. I never been held back in school. The park district had 2 leagues. A “H League,” which was a house league that hat 4 levels H1-H4, and a “C League,” competitive league, C1-C3. The director of hockey placed me in H1, the higher level house league. I played for 10 games with them, scoring over 23 goals. Then the director though I was doing to good and decided to throw me into a C1 team that no one thought will make playoffs. I wasn’t doing as well, only scoring 5 goals in 17 games. But that team made it to playoffs just barely and we actually made it to the finals. The finals were best out of 5 and we were tied 2-2. In the final game, with 3 minutes left in the game we were loosing 6-5 and we were on a penalty kill. The team captain called a time out and out me into the game, the puck draw was in the offensive zone for us. We won the draw and a just straight blasted the puck past the goalie, tying the game. 1 minute before end of game one of our defensemen gets a penalty. The other team calls the time out. The captain tells everyone he is going to pull the goalie and I will be going in. We won the face off and the defense dumped the puck. I get out there and bust my ass to get to the puck. I didn’t make it but I managed to strip the puck off of the defensemen and dump it back in. After chasing after it, it was just me and 3 defensemen behind the net, we were right by the trapezoid area and none of my team mates were there. So, I decided to send it and hope for the best. Some how it went in and no one but me saw that, so I was the only one celebrating until ref noticed it and blew the whistle. We ended up winning because of that. So, that was my most memorable highlight.
 
The following season I shattered a Talus bone on my right ankle and never play again. That was 8 years ago.

I have reached 100,000 gamerscore, my life is complete. I can die in peace now lol.

I did my PSR because of the time window but the junior review doesn't have one. (I'll get around to it eventually)

I don't even want to do them haha. I have a junior review I haven't done yet and it's my third season in the league

When you see the Chicago Phoenix play today and you think that they're a couple of guys from a beer league team being thrown out onto the twice a night. In fact it might be an insult to the beer league team. They're not even trying and are out tanking the real life Arizona Coyotes.
 
But where did it all go wrong. Not to long ago they won the Continental Cup in S75 in only their 2nd season in the VHL. Well you could trace their futility right after the cup win. It made them think that they could go all year in and year out. Trading for aging entities like Julian Nousiainen and Kasper Kankkunen. This left them with very little draft picks to get impact prospects.
 
So there's still free agency you say? How about giving a lot of money to Spencer Elsby who retried in the middle of the season. As for everyone else
Austin Towbaker was a goal scoring machine for the Lynx LET'S GET HIM! (plays in the VHLE instead)
 
Pekka Grubauer is the backbone we need in net! (also goes to the VHLE) I guess he's just too good right now.
 
Alright.... how about the twig that is Sunrise, Freddy, aaaaaannnd.... a game board? Guess they really have gone mad.
 
They better hope to god that a board game will revive their franchise. Maybe then you can stop having auto generated players on your team.
 
Like a phoenix they had a blaze of glory. Now their ashes can be found in an urn.

Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me.
 
Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as Grammar Nazis) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet.
 
That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear.
 
Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make:

@a_Ferk @Spartan Thank you so much for brining this to my attention and quickly too. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
