  1. I still think the Biography will rarely be done, if at all. Maybe a better word count-TPE ratio needs to be found to better incentivize it, I'm not sure. Nice pod, only complained about other drivers 4 or 5 times.

  3. 1) Through 12 games New York has got out to a 4-6-2 record. Despite the losing record, we have had our fair share of tough opponents early on in the season, and a lot of our losses have been all pretty close games. Do you think we can turn our luck around or do you think it might be a rough season? I think it's been a solid start for us, honestly. I would consider anything above .500 to be a win for us, and that is definitely achievable after seeing our play so far. 2) After a week of sims, how do you feel about how your player is performing? I'm content, but that's about it. I'd love to be helping out a bit more on the scoresheet, but I am very happy with my hit/PIM ratio. Just looking to find the back of the net more, and climb the rookie point leaderboard. 3) The Vancouver Wolves are off to another hot start after starting the season 10-1-1. Do you think they can pull off the 3-peat this season or will someone dethrone them? They will almost surely pull off the 3-peat. Moscow, their main competitor, looks to be underachieving so far, and I think VAN will be the beneficiary of that. 4) If you could change or add one thing about the VHL what would you do? Change the team in Warsaw's nickname. "Predators" could definitely be improved upon. I do love the city, logo, and colour scheme however. 5) The SuperBowl is this coming Sunday. The Bengals face off against the LA Rams. Who do you think is going to win and why? Or if you don't plan on watching the SuperBowl this weekend, what are your plans for the weekend? Honestly, I'm happy for both teams. I think I will be cheering for the Rams, as Stafford should get his ring, and Burrow will definitely be back (maybe a few times) later in his career. I'll probably just be watching from home with my girlfriend, as none of my friends are really interested in football. 6) If you were to participate in a chocolate bar draft, what are you taking with your first overall pick? Good question actually. I think I'd go with Mars. I'm more of a Twix guy myself, but I think with a 1st overall pick you want something that can do a little of everything.
  4. No, after 2 questions it doesn't allow you to answer more until (I assume) the next week.

    Games: 1-15

    2/2 on beginning my VHL career with a hat trick. Cool.
  9. Go back just a few seasons prior to that and find the biggest bust of them all: Carles Puigdemont.
  10. It is my pleasure to announce the captains for the Season 82 Warsaw Predators! C - Bogdan Trunov @qripll Entering his 4th VHL season, Trunov is now a veteran on a very young Preds roster. Being vocal in the locker room and loud on the ice with his goal scoring, very proud to have Trunov as the 3rd team captain in franchise history. Served as an A last season. A - Brian Moreau @weekz Another returning captain, absolutely shattered his career highs last season with a 48-goal, 122-point season. One of the oldest players on the team, has seen it all and knows how to keep the team focused and on track. A - Zack Kisslinger II @Kisslinger After going from steal to star and posting the greatest rookie season in franchise history, Kisslinger II has easily cemented himself as a leader on and off the ice. Committed himself to the future of the franchise, and is looking to improve as a sophomore. Congrats to all 3, and let's go Preds!
  11. Goalies as assistant captains: here here and here Goalie as captain: here and here
  12. goalies can, and have, been captains
  13. @Seabass First pick is technically skipped, still on the clock for 2 picks. 12 hours left or you will be disqualified.
  14. Season 72 Draft: No 1st-Round Pick Season 73 Draft: No 1st-Round Pick Season 74 Draft: D Markus Schauer (271 TPE) @Plate A very high earning first gen, Schauer was on track to be the face of the next generation of New York. Unfortunately, flamed out not long into his career, and after their entry-level contract decided to test Free Agency. After stops in Moscow and London, and only 5 VHL seasons, hung up their skates and retired. Season 75 Draft: RW RJ Thatcher (256 TPE) @jhatty8 Thatcher had a very average career in New York, getting better every season, but never passing a point-per-game pace. Prematurely retired after just 3 VHL seasons. Season 76 Draft: RW Red Lite (357 TPE) @Tate 1st Overall Pick, Captain, Award winner. Red Lite brought everything and more to New York, quickly establishing himself as the guy for the franchise. Said publicly he would love to play out his career with the team, and that's exactly what he did. Unfortunately, that was only for 5 seasons. Season 77 Draft: D Zeedayno Chara (252 TPE) @Jubis Another player willing to commit themselves to help NYA return to a contender, Chara was a homerun pick from the get-go. In just his 2nd VHL season, he reached the point-per-game marker as a defender. Unfortunately, at no fault of their own, Chara was moved to Seattle prior to S81 as NY management decided a rebuild was once again on. The only active player on this list, he had a standout 22-goal, 108 point season with Seattle. Season 78 Draft: No 1st-Round Pick Season 79 Draft: No 1st-Round Pick Season 80 Draft: No 1st-Round Pick Season 81 Draft: G Tadhg Byrne (196 TPE) @teknonym In last season's draft, the Americans did not have their own pick, due to the disastrous Prout-Thornton trade, but did, through a series of moves, end up with Vancouver's 1st-rounder. Byrne was a very promising earner, with starter potential, however seems to have since gone inactive, and has not updated since early December. TL;DR NY sucks cause everyone retired (340 Words)
  15. 1) Our team managed to sign Kristof Welch and Jakky Sosa to help fortify our roster heading into the season. We also managed to sign an inactive player named Phillip Stein and converted him to a defenseman to give us some extra depth on D. How do you feel about these signings, and with our roster now set heading into the regular season, do you think we can compete well enough to get a playoff spot THIS SEASON!? It definitely shaped our roster into one that has potential to be a dark horse in NA. It's awesome to have some depth and not be a completely empty roster. Jakky and Kristof definitely have the potential to have career-years this season. 2) It was a lengthy back-and-forth battle, but the dust has settled and defensive prodigy Tavish DeGroot will be in the starting lineup alongside Kristof Welch opening night on Tuesday. He's still a bit of a loose cannon and doesn't want to ingratiate himself to his teammates, which is really a shame What can we do as management or collectively as a team to warm the heart of Tavish to make him feel welcome and buy-in to the Amurican Way? In my opinion, all you can do is give it time. At the moment, we can just support them as much as possible, let them talk on the ice, and see where it goes. Kudos to player and management for getting pen to paper, and excited to see DeGroot play. 3) Did you participate in the VHFL this season. If so, how did you feel about your draft? If not, why are you making the conscience effort to give away free TPE? Just kidding, if not, who would your ideal lineup be? (3 forwards, 2 D, one goalie) Yes I did! Happy so far with my draft, but not done yet. Still need a goaltender and another forward. I finished in the top 10, maybe even top 5 users last season, so I'd like to say I'm decent at it. 4) Name one member in the VHL community that is important to you and give a brief explanation as to why they mean so much to you. @flatl99. Although he has gone inactive and didn't have the greatest impact on the VHL, he introduced me to the site, and opened my eyes to this amazing community. 5) The Winter Olympics are just around the corner. Do you watch/follow the Olympics? Or do you like the Summer Olympics better? What are some of your favourite events? Honestly, don't really follow the Olympics. Obviously I'll watch hockey when it happens, but I am under the opinion that I want to watch the best of the best, and they just haven't been there when it comes to Olympic Hockey. 6) Brock Lesnar won the god damn Royal Rumble on Saturday and it was super lame. Do you or have you ever watched wrestling at any time in your life and if so name some of your favourite wrasslers. I have never watched, or been intrigued by Wrestling. I know alot of people in the league are, but I don't get it. Sry.
