1. With theme week upon us, what will you be doing for that extra uncapped TPE? Probably a graphic. It's Lamb's last week of updating, so gotta squeeze every last bit of TPE out. 2. For Canadians: how was your thanksgiving weekend? For non-Canadians: what do you think thanksgiving in Canada looks like? My thanksgiving was good, I visited both sides of my family, plus had a ton of turkey and ham. 10/10 thanksgiving. 3. The NHL regular season starts up TOMORROW!!! Who/what team will you be cheering for? As always, I am cheering for the GOAT franchise, the Bruins of Boston. The window is closing, only a couple shots left. 4. If yourself in real life were to get drafted to the NHL, what round would you go in? The 7th. I was never a great skater, but the hockey IQ and hands are off the charts. Preferably I'd go 217th overall, with zero expectations or pressure. 5. What other sports do you enjoy watching or playing besides hockey? Football for sure, and from time to time I can enjoy a soccer or NBA game. But nothing compares to watching hockey. 6. Are you a dog or cat person? If neither, what animal is your favourite? I would say both, as I have both, but if I had to choose 1, probably a cat person a tiny bit more.

I was just looking through the VHL Index tonight, and I found a few things that I thought would be good to write about in a "VHL590" article. #1 - β-HSK LW3 The first one that caught my eye was β-HSK LW3, who is the shortest player in the index, listed as 1 foot, 8 inches, and 72 pounds. He has yet to record any points, but has actually got on the scorecard, posting a SMASHING 6 hits, and 3 shots on goal. At age 30, it doesn't look like a growth spurt is likely, but cheers to the undersized forward for making it to the big leagues. #2 - Randoms Randoms, a former player of hedgehog, is by far the oldest player in the index, and the ripe age of 69. As we know, the portal limits the maximum age at 50, however it is interesting to see that Randoms is 17 years older than the next two oldest, Londortharl and Shawn Michaels is better than HHH (both age 52). #3 - Warsaw Predators I'm not sure how I didn't notice this before, but the Season 79 Warsaw Predators became the 9th team in VHL history to score 300 goals in 1 season, with a total of 303. They were only the 2nd team to do it post-season 31 (Malmo, also in S79, scored 314). (226 Words)

Trivia a few times a season, and it's uncapped. Also we need more capped tasks reviews suck and are all the same

1. Warsaw sits at 4th in the EU Conference - wildcard spot - how can we boost our standings record and secure a playoff spot? I don't foresee the team bringing in any assets, so we just need to improve from within. Converting more of our chances is a must at this point, it's losing us games. But I am confident we can get back on track. 2. Our Goal Difference is -10. Do we not score enough? Or do we let too many goals in? A little bit of both. Our scoring has dried up as of recently, and since we only have 3 defenders on the team, that can cause some fatigue on our back end. I do not fault the goaltending however, we are getting solid work back there. 3. How has your player performed so far? We are a third of the way through S80. Pretty average for Lamb, nothing earth shattering, but very solid. I'm just watching him climb the all-time points board. 4. What was your reaction to being drafted/signed/traded to the Warsaw Predators organization? I was so hyped. As a first gen, it was an amazing feeling watching the stream. The management had just messaged me the day of or day before, and I never expected it. But I couldn't have asked for a better career here. 5. What type of player build are you aiming to accomplish for your player? If you could switch anything in your build what would it be? Well, I've built a scoring centre, and that's exactly what I set out to do when I created. I want to have some more checking in my game, but I just don't think it's super viable. 6. How was your weekend? Good! Another relaxing one, just played and watched CSGO, since it rained most of the weekend. I watched some preseason hockey as well, hyped it's almost back!

After not officially naming captains in S79, I am here to name the first Warsaw captains of my tenure. I decided to put it to a player vote to award the "C" and two "A's", and the results are in.... better late than never! CAPTAIN - Dakota Lamb (hey, that's me!) Lamb retains the captaincy he's had since Season 75, one that he has, and will continue to, wear proudly. I decided on a player vote in case they did want a change of C, but ultimately Lamb remains in the role, and accepts it with open arms as he reaches the end of his career. ALTERNATE CAPTAIN - Victor Grachev @KaleebtheMighty Another member of Warsaw's inaugural draft class entering his final season, Victor has donned the "A" since Season 75, and has done an amazing job and is well deserving to continue being a part of Warsaw's leadership group. Coming off a career season, Victor will be the leader of Warsaw's back end on and off the ice. ALTERNATE CAPTAIN - Chris Reynolds @Crstats23 The 2nd A goes to one of the most vocal players in the locker room, Chris Reynolds. He has really stepped up in the absence of many long-term Warsaw players, and along with his dominance on the ice, he is now one of this team's veterans ready to lead the next generation of Preds.

1. Warsaw sits 3rd in the EU conference with a 5-3-1 record. Have we been playing well or should we be doing better? We've been playing well as a unit, for sure. We have tapered off here the last couple sims, but I know with all the talent we have it is just a matter of putting it all together. 2. What has been a key role to our winning record. Jacob Carson and Chris Reynolds have played a massive part in our success so far. I hope they both keep it up. 3. How has your player performed through the first sim? Even as an old man, Lamb is still beasting. I'm sad that his career is finally coming to an end, so I hope he can get some awards. 4. Malmo currently owns first place in the league, will they take home another Victory Cup? (Best Regular Season Record) Honestly probably. They have almost, if not exactly, the same roster as last season. So no reason they can't repeat for a Victory Cup. 5. How do you think our team looks? Anyone we should add? Trade? Yeah, sure, let's add the top 10 players by TPA. I think it would help us out a bit But honestly I like how our team is built, we could use another F and D to run 6-4-2 though. 6. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go? Probably Japan, but I also wouldn't mind going back to London.

1. The S80 VHL draft wrapped up last night, what are your thoughts on Warsaw's picks? Well, I trust our GM, so if he picked those players, I'm sure they'll be stars for Warsaw one day. 10/10 draft for us. 2. What will S80 look like for Warsaw? We had our draft and a couple free agency signings so we do have a core. I think we have a chance at playoffs, we still have some of the big guns from the cup run. For the first time in a while, Warsaw are dark horses. 3. The S79 Awards also happened last night, any surprises? Is there someone who should have won an award that didn't? Red Lite/Aloe Dear definitely got FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY for MVP, but other than that the awards were pretty on point. I'm not too sure about the Wylde winner, I have to look into it deeper. 4. The VHLE expansion draft goes on tonight. Which VHLE team do you want to win the draft (is your favourite if you have one)? I like both Swedish teams, Vasteras and Stockholm. Going to be great re-igniting that old time rivalry. I'm excited to see how each team drafts, because I think we're all sort of unsure at the moment. 5. A sad day for Warsaw as 6 season long veteran Aloe Dear tested the free agency and ended up signing with the D.C. Dragons. Any thoughts on Dear and their great career so far? One of, if not the best player in franchise history. Will be missed DEARly, but will be remembered long from now as an absolute legend. 6. Most important question: How was your weekend? It was good, wasn't up to too much except for the drafts. We did find my cat after he got out for a couple days so that was a big plus.

It's a shame the VOD doesnt exist, because it actually was a good listen.

MOSCOW, Russia - The morning after the VHL draft, Warsaw Predators GM Dakota Lamb stood in front of reporters to give his assessment on how free agency and the draft went for the team. "First and foremost, I just want to thank Aloe [Dear] and Lexi [Glass] for everything they did for the organization. I wish them the best of luck with their new teams. As well, my best to [Chris] Hylands, Leo [Strauss], [Tim] Waters, and [Vsevolod] Askarov in retirement. All of these players were key for our organization, and will be truly missed within our organization and in the Warsaw community." When responding to questions about free agency, Lamb said "The players out left us with a bunch of holes, obviously. We felt this free agency class was strong, so we went with that route to fill out the team rather than the trade market. We really liked Brian [Moreau]'s film, so we pursued him heavily to help the top 6. Askarov's retirement and Ajay Krishna's regression made it clear an upgrade in net was needed, and [Jacob] Carson was a guy we know and love in the organization, so it was easy to get a deal done and find our new starter. And of course with the losses to our back end we needed something there as well, and the Poland native Chicken Wing was interested in coming home, and we couldn't be happier. We are still in the market for a top 6 winger, so we will see if we have to go to the trade market for that." Asked quickly about the draft before he had to leave to fly back to Poland, Lamb gave a quick synopsis on the team's draft picks. "Kisslinger II really impressed us in interviews, and we are more than happy he dropped to us at 14. He's got great finishing ability, and should be on track to make the team in Season 81. Brendan Marner we felt was 1st round talent, so myself and [AGM] Williams were overjoyed when he was there at 21. Louis Vignac is a ways away, but no reason he can't continue his development and make the team in a few seasons. Glade V, Aalto, and Suvorov are all project picks, but overall we're very happy with how the draft went. Any number of these players could be seen in the Blue and Orange one day, and you love thinking that right after a draft."
