  1. 1: Do you believe the future is bright in Chicago with the prospects we've acquired this offseason? (Jean-Pierre Devote, Ughsike, Micah Cederbaum, Kevin O'Connor & Vanuza Kolesinska) I probably missed one... Oh absolutely. I'm very high on almost every pick we brought in this offseason, they all seem to be meshing well with the group already established here. We have the players, we have the prospects, I think it's time to look forward to the end of the regular season - but no longer for the drafts. We're looking to climb the mountain. Also I've been big on Kolesinska for a while now, should have been a 1st-rounder. 2: Which attribute do you intend to focus on this offseason/season? Obviously I like to do an even upgrade on all of them, but if I had to pick, definitely SK. Lamb seemed to struggle in the VHLE until they got their skating up to league average, and from then on basically was the top D-man in the entire league, playoffs included. Definitely need to get it up to big league averages. 3: Does your character do anything unique with their equipment to stand out? (Different Colored Laces, Tinted Visor, Jersey Tuck, etc.) Not that I can think of right off the top of my head, I'm not a superstitious guy like some hockey players... I used to roll with yellow skate laces, but it gets you chirped up here in the pros to no end. The only thing slightly out of the ordinary I can think of is leaving the tongues of my skates untucked, but even that is pretty common. 4: I probably asked this recently, but I enjoy people's ideas...If you had to name the next VHL team, what'd you call it? First of all, I would nuke the names Predators, Wranglers and United. Depends where the city of this new franchise was, but we definitely need some more non-living thing names. I'm not in the creative department though, but I think something classic and simple would work... I always was a fan of having team names in their native languages too. 5: Do you like how the NHL handled the All-Star event this season? I didn't really watch, to be honest. Anyone who complains about the all-star game and is over the age of like, 16, just loves to complain. It's meant to grow the game, be fun for young fans, and be something lighthearted. Is the Stanley Cup on the line? No. So why should they play like it is? 6: Have you ever re-watched an NHL game? If so, why? There is one single NHL game that I have re-watched about.... 50 times? Maybe more, if we're counting just the highlights. It doesn't even need an explanation, I'll just add it below:
  2. Not even for scouting, I think this REALLY helps new member onboarding.
  3. Why is it that if you get trivia questions wrong, you are forced to do another point task? Sure, maybe with the old trivia questions that was a part of it, since everybody got the same 2 questions. But now we have a database of questions and answers, one that is constantly evolving and adding to itself. Obviously there has to be a limit, or else people would continuously guess until they get some right, but it seems quite harsh to just completely eliminate the ability to claim the maximum trivia TPE for the week for getting it wrong, misclicking, misinterpreting, whatever the case may be. I propose the limit for weekly trivia be raised to FOUR (4) per week, double the current amount. Obviously keep the current limit of only being able to claim 2 capped TPE per week but allow those who get a question wrong to try again for that week. I believe this would also lead to less people begging for pointers in discord, as it would allow a margin of error for players who attempt to find the answers themselves. Trivia plays an important role for those players who do not have a lot of time to invest week-to-week, so I believe it to be better this way. I would love to hear opinions, though. Maybe trivia is supposed to be cut-throat like this, since it is the easiest supplemental task, and the idea is to funnel content to other methods when you don't find the exact spreadsheet that holds the answer. Just guessed on both my questions this week because I didn't think I'd have time to actually look (all my assignments are due on sunday nights), and this VHL.com topic came into my head, so getting my 2 TPE from this. Ironic! Anyways, that's about 250, see you all later.
  4. 1: Who is your pick for the cup? D.C. Dragons or London United? Just a little late answering this one as well, but I would have been like Velevra in picking the United. If nothing else, I don't mind keeping the cup in D.C., it's nice and close to Chicago for us to pick it up next season. 2: Still a lot of season to go in the NHL, but who do you think will win the Stanley Cup at this point? Not going to say anything else than my Boston Bruins, baby. No player losses can stop us, we are inevitable. Charlie Coyle is now elite. Danton Heinen is elite. Another 1st-round series against the Maple Leafs is going to be electric. 3: Another prediction. Who do you think will win the draft lottery and select 1st overall? If this meant VHL, I didn't really pay attention to that, but I did see Bocatini went 1st. Unfortunate for Victor, but CIA makes some of the best players around. Davos got a good one, but 1 or 2 was good. If you meant IRL, I hope it's anyone but Chicago. 4: What was the first hockey game you ever watched? Can you remember the teams? This is a great question. I know it isn't, but one of the earliest in my mind I can think of is going to a Niagara IceDogs (OHL) game as a kid, maybe 7 years old? If I recall correctly, they played the Guelph Storm. Maybe it was the Battalion. I definitely watched games way earlier than '07 though, just not alot stick out to today. 5: What color is your player's stick tape? I'd like to think Lamb is a white stick tape player, but who knows. I know he's been known to rock yellow tape with yellow laces, which is just absolutely disgusting. I think I saw a roll of flame tape in his bag too. 7: What led to you picking your Discord or Forum profile picture? Mine actually are both different works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. His artwork was used for the cover of The New Abnormal by The Strokes, my all-time favourite band, so I thought they looked nice and had some meaning.
  5. Great looking group. Good luck, can't wait to play you.

    One friend doing a favour for another... what is confusing to you?
  7. FONZI HIRED. WELCOME TO OSLO.
  8. Bump, if any 1st-gens are interested please do not be shy! No experience at all is necessary!
  9. Yeah, it makes sense too, but maybe making it in the off-season makes it feel like it doesn't mean anything? Hell, the lottery tournament could change an entire franchises' fortunes and not a soul sans-rory even looked at it for like 8 seasons. I was actually thinking the other day that we need to change what "triple gold" means in the VHL, because nobody cares about international events, which is really too bad. As far as I know, the international stuff is huge in the SHL, so there's probably some things to learn from there. Nonetheless, I'm still on board for a 1-time nationality change pre-International appearance. Even when the WC is made great again.
