1. We finally won a round! How are you celebrating our biggest playoff success in seasons? I wasn't paying much attention to the playoffs if we're being honest. 2. Who is our playoff MVP at the moment? Probably Sandstrom, I don't see it being anyone else. 3. What has been your typical pre-game playoff routine? I prepare by having a nice shot of fireball. 4. What is your opinion on the new hybrid attribute situation? I'm not very invested in it. I don't know what to think. 5. Any big surprises so far when it comes to the NHL Trade Deadline? The Dadonov situation was very strange. 6. I think Calgary is the favorite to win the cup, who is your favorite? Vancouver was my guess in the VHL bracket challenge.

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.

The Riga Reign are preparing for their upcoming playoff series against the Prague Phantoms. The Reign are a very young team this season so VHL playoffs will be a new experience for many. Rookies Biggie Cheese, Alexandre Leduc and Yun Chiang in particular will see their first bit of playoff action in the upcoming sims. The youngsters Tobias Reinhart and Donny Carter have played a mere 2 games in the playoffs, so it will be a new experience for them as well. After a pretty mediocre regular season, there is a big question mark in net for the Reign. They do not usually know what they are getting from Reinhart from night to night. The saving grace for the Reign might be the playoff experience of Battre Sandstrom and Nils Tallinder. Sandstrom has played a total of 50 playoff games, and Tallinder has played 32. They are seasoned veterans in that regard so they will be heavily relied upon to lead this inexperienced Riga team.

1. What role do you hope to see your player take in the S82 VHLM playoffs? I will be the water boy since I'm not in the VHLM anymore. 2. Fresco has to drink a beer of our choice if we win the Victory Cup, what beer should we have him drink? Bud Light, the trademark beer of Florida Man. 3. Where would you have the team go celebrate if they win? My hometown, it's out in the middle of nowhere so we can be as loud as we want and no cops. 4. Is there an opponent that makes you nervous in these playoffs? If so, who? Yes, Philadelphia. Even though Alex isn't the GM anymore they might have some trickery up their sleeves. 5. Do you have any interest in applying for one of the 4 GM positions open? No. I don't want to be a GM. 6. With the "meta" fix coming out, will you change your players build or try to keep it the same? The meta was treated unfairly. Now we have to learn a new system? Sounds like a lot of work.

The Riga rookies have had a rather disappointing season to this point. At the beginning there were even hopes that one of them would win the rookie of the year award. That did not even come remotely close to happening. Leading the charge was Alexandre Leduc with 26 goals and 30 assists. Despite leading Riga, he is still 14 points out of even 10th place on the rookie points leaderboard. 10 points behind Leduc was Biggie Cheese with 14 goals and 33 assists. Cheese has at least been responsible defensively as he is 2nd in blocked shots, 2nd in +/- and third in hits on Riga. Yun Chiang currently has 15 goals and 19 assists. His season is arguably the most disappointing, since he tore the VHLE to shreds last season, and he did the same thing the previous season in the VHLM. Hopefully next season has something better in store for the trio.

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

1. Looks like playoffs are in the horizon for us - how are you getting yourself ready for the first round? I'm trying to figure out how the new attributes work. 2. The season is almost over - how would you rate your players year out of 10 and why? 4/10, it's been pretty forgettable. 3. What has been your favorite moment of the season? Any big games for your plater? I think I got third star in one game. Don't remember which one. 4. If Riga wins, should we retire Alex Johnston's number? We just acquired him, I think a number retirement warrants a longer career than 18 games. 5. Do you miss Cabe McJake? Nah, redsus was not a very good person. 6. How are you dealing with winter - are you over it yet? I don't mind it. I wish it would either stay cold or warm up instead of going back and forth though.

This was a game that Mississauga did not expect to have much chance due to facing the third place Houston Bulls, but they did not expect to lose so embarrassingly. After the first period ended, Houston had scored seven goals already. Scotty Sundin had a natural hat trick in the period. From there Houston was able to coast to victory. They added a pair of goals in the second period, as well as another two in the third period. The final score: 11-0. Hammar Voss had a collection of points on the night with a hat trick and an additional five assists to go along with it. Luca Accardi had a goal and four assists. As mentioned before, Sundin had a hat trick and two assists. A total of seven Bull’s players had two or more points in the game. For Houston this game was further verification of their dominance this season. For Mississauga, this season could not end quicker.

Game 402: Moscow Menace vs. Prague Phantoms This was a game with pretty big playoff implications as both teams are hovering around that final playoff spot to avoid the wildcard round. Prague started out strong with two goals in the first period, and added another pair of goals in the second to make it 4-0. After a scoreless third period that’s how the score would stand and Prague took this contest. If Moscow were to win they would currently be in Prague’s second place spot instead. As it stands right now the Menace would face the wildcard. A big factor in this match was Prague’s goaltender David Davis who stopped 41 of 41 shots to record the shutout. Game 413: Vancouver Wolves vs. Seattle Bears Another big game for playoff implications. Seattle is currently battling for that third and final spot to avoid the wildcard round and Vancouver is battling for first place in North America. Seattle opened the scoring with 3 goals in the 1ss. The 2nd period was effectively a draw, with the two teams splitting the scoring at 2 goals apiece. Vancouver battled back in the 3rd to send the game to overtime, however. Sigard Petrenko scored the game winner for Seattle in overtime and had a big night overall, with 2 goals and an assist. Seattle took this one 6-5 in overtime.

1. My player sucks but the team seems to be doing well. That's good. 2. Actually didn't notice we got him until I saw he played 4 games on our team scoring page. Seems like a hefty price, hope it was worth it. 3. Playing better defensively. Our goalie has struggled a bit this season and it would be good to help him out. 4. I don't think he's played enough with Riga to warrant a jersey retirement; this is his first season with the team. I'm not sure he's retiring this season either. 5. Probably the Canadiens. I don't think anyone expected them to be this bad. 6. I do, and I'd say I have been too much lately. I've played a lot of project zomboid lately.

Game 296: Chicago Phoenix vs. Los Angeles Stars This game was about as one sided as it can get. Vick Fairchild opened the scoring for Los Angeles in the first, followed by 4 straight goals by A.J. Williams. Chicago was able to put two goals on the board in the third period, but goals by Florida Man in the second and third made the final score of the game 7-2. The Star’s goaltender Trent Gibson saved 35 out of 37 shots for a 0.946 save percentage. Despite allowing 7 goals Chiago’s bot goaltender had a save percentage of .900, due to having 70 shots on net. Game 297: Helsinki Titans vs. London United Another matchup that was not a very close affair from start to finish. London and Helsinki got most of their goals out of the way in the first period. It was 4-2 after the first 20 minutes of play. At 4:45 in the 2nd London’s Matt Avens instigated a fight with Magnus Verlander and they fought to a draw. Avens was ejected from the game for his actions. It is not something seen often from him, as he is a promising rookie and favorite for the Stolzschweiger Trophy. In the final 40 minutes London would outscore Helsinki 2-1, and the final score was 6-3.

1. Riga is in a bit of a slump after a strong start, are you concerned? A little bit. We've had a lack of offense lately. 2. Did you do trivia last week, if so, did you have much trouble finding the answers? I tried it but got both of the questions wrong. 3. Anze Miklavz is having a disappointing start for the team captain, what do you think he needs to work on? His offense. He's 6th on the team in scoring and many expected him to be among the top. 4. Who is your early Brett Slobodzian trophy candidate so far? I'd put Dan Dan at this point. Insane amount of points. 5. Who do you think will win the Hart trophy this year in the NHL? Connor McDavid most likely. Who else would it be. 6. Were you satisfied with the result of the Superbowl? I was satisfied. It was great to see Stafford finally make it there and win.

Jardy's Hecking Podcast, S2 Episode 2: Questions from TATE!

There's a second season? That wasn't in the manga -
Riga is still holding onto second place in the very competitive European conference with 33 points, only trailing behind the London United who have found great chemistry with their very young squad. Isau DaMoose and Battre Sandstrom are still leading the way, but Nils Tallinder has also been a key factor towards Riga’s success. Tallinder and DaMoose lead the Reign with 39 points, while Sandstrom has 38. While Tobias Reinhart’s save percentage has been less than ideal so far (outside the top 10), his goals against average is about league average. This points to the Reign defense performing quite well so far to this point. Of the Riga rookies Alexandre Leduc is leading the way with 24 points. He is trailed by Biggie Cheese with 21 points, and Yun Chiang with 19. The newcomer and free agent signing Mikey Markov has been unexpectedly good for the Reign. Despite being on the 2nd pair he is 4th in points, trailing only the big three of tallinder, Sandstrom and DaMoose.

Game 194 Moscow vs D.C. This was a game that D.C. was never really in, with Moscow opening up the scoring with 3 unanswered goals in the first. By the end of the 2nd period the score was 5-1 for Moscow. D.C. managed to add two goals in the third, but ultimately failed to give Moscow much of a challenge. Duncan Idaho had a field day for Moscow, registering 1 goal and 3 assists. D.C. 's Barry Taffe was pulled from the game halfway through the 2nd and was responsible for all 5 of their goals against. Game 208 Chicago vs Prague Chicago is on a mission to win the draft lottery this season and this game was another step in the right direction. Prague opened up the first with 4 goals and coasted from there for a 6-1 win. Asher Reinhart was dominant, with 4 goals and an assist for 5 points on the night. The shots were a staggering 83 to 23 in favor of Prague. Chicago's bot goalie performed well in that sense. He had a 0.928 save percentage despite allowing 6 goals.

Even during the S72-73 classes with tons of first gens the amount of people doing career tasks was probably between 5 and 10. Not that alarming -
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: no u
