Looks like you had a rough season Hex. Don't be so hard on yourself goalie, we're all juggling the stresses of being a rockstar professional (simulation) hockey player, while living offline lives, while being in the middle of one of the most traumatic times of our generation. I know I've been struggling to keep all my balls in the air, and joining the VHL adds some extra responsibility and stress to my plate - sounds like I'm not alone. Take a big deep breath, and search out those TPE tasks that make you smile and giggle. It's never great when hobbies start to feel like work, so make sure to still have some fun here!

1. Gotta say, I was pretty ecstatic when I signed my contract with Halifax ($1.5M whaaaaaaaaat?!) 2. I've got full faith in our front office, from ol @Dil to our very own Ass.Man. @twists, to do the best scouting, drafting, and development, regardless of draft position. 3. Here's some advice: give our rookies and new free agent signing some advice! 4. I'm sure the 21st would've won the playoffs if we made it. But since we didn't, I just kind of assume that the playoffs are cancelled and there will be no champ this year? 5. There's one game left in the season, so there's a chance I might meet this goal before next year, but I hope to dress for a VHL game! 6. It's @twists because he gave me that aforementioned $1.5M. If there's a better AGM in the VHLM, that's the number they've got to beat.

My agent had me hold out overnight to see if more offers came, but I knew I was always going to sign in Halifax. Mr Brandt was the first team exec to reach out both on the forums and discord. I was curious, and watched the Halifax game last night from the nosebleeds. The friggin' guy goes out there, knowing I'm in the stands scouting his team, and puts up a line like 3-1--4. I ended up buying a 21st hat before the game - so the other scouts wouldn't notice me - and then Brandt scores three tricks and takes my hat away! There's a good rule of thumb when in free agency: try to get on the team with the best player in the league. Joining the Halifax 21st checks that box. I mean, probably. I haven't checked the standings or stats or anything, I'm just going to eye test the shit out of this organization. As for the player you're gonna get, well, I'm not so sure about that. I signed up as a LW because I switched to LW this season irl, but after seeing last night's high-flying match, I would love to Brent Burns it and switch to the blue line. Because... seriously?! I'll convince you management and coaching staff to let me change positions by breaking goaler stats from last night. Grekkark Gyrfalcon (HFX) ok cool, goalies are always fascinating characters and Grekkark sounds like a very goalie-goalie 55 saves holy crap that's a lot of saves, our goalie must be sick from 59 shots (0.932), W, holy crap that's a lot a shots against, our D must be bad 1-7-2 hooooooooly crap our D must be bad. Looks like, we're giving up 60 shots a night, every night... and the one night I show up, Brandt scores a hatty, Grekky stands on his head, that Rose/Pou/Robertson line shows UP and the 21st get the win! Mr Wallace, Mr Brandt, I'm happy to accept your offer to join the Halifax 21st, but please, I'm begging you, let me play defence. I will out smart, out wit, out play MOS D1, D2, AND D3, you just gotta give me a chance! (ed: really hoping MOS D1-3 means they're npcs, if it actually is a case of triplets or something then I apologize for chiping you so directly and so unnecessarily) Stay groovy doods, Groovy

accept

Still....

I tried, but the link at the top of the site has expired. Forums will take some getting used to. It was two decades ago last time I was active on a forum. I'm excited to poke around and get a feel for the place. Thanks for the help ya big ol butthead!

Whaddup GMs! You're not going to want to miss out on this hot prospect. Groovy dood is a bored guy who sits at a computer all day "working from home". I'm a wordmaker by day, co-ed rec leaguer on Saturday nights. My total points might be low, but hot damn are my cellies sick. I like to skate fast so my flow flaps Jagr-esque behind me, floating in the wind like a cape. I'm not too sure what this VHL adventure will lead to. I was the Friedge of my fantasy hockey league last year, interviewing GMs, breaking trades, and previewing playoff series, so I'm excited to join the VHL community!
