atta boy, way to make me look good @Scurvy  

@dlamb u were a very okay GM thanks for the title

It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of such a dominant team under both @dlamb and @N0HBDY. Congrats to Captain Kiss @Kisslinger as well, he was one hell of a leader!

Not bad eh? @MetalToday congrats man! super proud and happy to have my jersey retired! It was so much fun to be apart of such a close team and to go from contenders to champions. Couldn’t have asked for a better team and better management!  Happy i get the chance to have another jersey retired with my new player so watch out for that;) 
 
thanks to @dlamb for drafting us and giving us the opportunity to grow and become the Warsaw greats we are today 
 
thank you to @N0HBDY for letting old man Kisslinger stay around for the final bit of his career and keeping the roster as competitive as we could around him and marner! 

@hedgehog337 thanks for the trade talks!
 
@dlamb, welcome to davos! Let’s go win a cup!

Wow, good luck Girts. Warsaw legend

only one mod! pog!

After playing his entire career for the Warsaw Predators, 504 games, Girts Galvins has been traded to the Vancouver Wolves is his final season! A big change for Girts as he moves from the European Conference to the North American Conference. After missing the playoffs in Warsaw the last couple seasons Galvins is excited to join a cup contender who made it to the finals this past season and he's also thrilled to be rejoining his longtime teammate from Warsaw and Bratislava Brian Payne! The two are well known as a dynamic duo synonymous with success and championships so this is a great move for Vancouver. 
 
Galvins finishes up his time in Warsaw with 505 points in 504 games, good for 234 goals and 274 assists, including a goal scoring title in S86 along with a Cup in S84 where he posted 25 points and 11 goals in 20 playoff games. He completes his Warsaw career as 5th all time in goals and 6th in points. Pretty sweet. Last season he had a strong year leading Warsaw in scoring with 37 goals and 74 points. He'll look to continue his goal scoring in Vancouver and hopefully once again be clutch in the playoffs!
 
Girts would like to thank all his teammates in Warsaw for all the great memories, we had a lot of good runs and strong teams. He will never forget that championships in S84 and would like to thank his two GM's during his time in Warsaw @dlamb and @N0HBDY for all their help. Wishing Warsaw the best in the future!

LAS now the only 73 expansion without a cup... 😬

Game 91: Congrats to Vasile Lamb @dlamb on becoming the 41st player in VHL history to reach 2000 career hits! (More on that HERE!)
Game 93: Congrats to Kyle Peace @Peace on moving into sole possession of 5th place on Toronto's all-time goals list with your 251st!
 

The Hits Keep Coming:
Detroit breaks VHL all-time hits record, Lamb reaches 2000
 
Well, another VHL record has fallen, this time one not so old as some. Congratulations to Vinny Detroit @dasboot, who broke Druss Deathwalker’s @animal74 recently set VHL record for all-time hits in New York’s fifth game of the season against my new team, ironically, the Toronto Legion. With his seventh hit of the game, Detroit surpassed Deathwalker’s total of 2882 hits and finished with the new VHL record of 2885 after dishing out a season-high 9 hits.
 
Four games later against D.C., Detroit became the only player in VHL history with 2900 hits.
 

Vinny Detroit breaks VHL all-time hits record vs. Toronto
 
Other milestones the American power forward will reach shortly is 500 points as he is currently sitting at 492. He will become the 28th player in VHL history to reach 500 points and 2000 hits. Vasile Lamb @dlamb just recently became the 27th player to hit those marks (and first since Deathwalker’s former teammate Taylor Mourning @scoop in S86) when he became the 41st player to reach 2000 hits. When he reaches 500 points, Detroit will also become just the 15th player in VHL history with 500 points, 1000 penalty minutes and 2000 hits.
 
Despite breaking the all-time record, Detroit still trails Deathwalker and HOFer Brennan McQueen @Jamie for career hits-per-game average although that might change. The other feat that Detroit has yet to accomplish (although he has come close), is to reach 400 hits in a season which Deathwalker did twice (one of only four VHL players to ever record 400 hits twice).
 
 
Now, let’s look to the future: Which current players have the drive and recklessness to join the 2000 hit club? Here are five that VHLers should keep an eye out for:
 
Brian Payne @Scurvy Warsaw’s award-winning defenseman is currently the safest bet to reach 2000 hits and if he does, he’ll become only the 4th full-time defenseman to do so. He reached 300 hits for the first time last season and if he continues on his career average of 3.57 hits per game, 2000 will be but a formality.
 
Cobalt Burns @Ledge Burns has the highest hits/game average of all on this list having already dropped over 800 hits in his three-year career. Averaging 270 in those three seasons including reaching 311 last season, Burns is well on his way to hit the 2K milestone.
 
Igor Molotov @Dom Being a teammate of Deathwalker’s must have rubbed off on this former Nighthawk. After a couple of low-hit years to start his career, Molotov has averaged 265 in each of the last three seasons. If he continues at that pace, he’ll have a very good shot at 2000.
 
Mo Probert @Yahtzee A Malmo prospect coming through the pipe during Deathwalker’s final season, Probert must have seen how much fun hitting is as he’s been doing a lot of it. He had 312 hits last season and is among the hits leaders again this season. He’s still young but he’s off to a good start.
 
Molly the Cat @JCarson Another young player who likes to score as well as hit, Molly the Cat’s current career average is right on the cusp of getting to 2000 hits during their career. Keep them hits coming!
 
Joey Coaster @FANTEIGE And a quick shout out to Malmo’s newest thug sensation! Coaster currently ranks second in the league in hits as a rookie and is on pace for just shy of 300. If he keeps that up during his career, he may be the next one to challenge Detroit’s new record!
 
Will any of these players get close? Zach Parechkin’s @DollarAndADream record stood for 30 seasons, Druss Deathwalker’s only lasted 3. How long will Vinny Detroit’s record last once his career has finished? All we know is, in the VHL, the hits will just keep coming.
 
Congrats again to Vinny Detroit and Vasile Lamb on their milestones! You will be remembered for all the pain you’ve doled out over the years.
 
 

Just to interject, I have the exact same build as last season  Looking to be VHFL F #1 once again!

Ok for this week’s Around the League in 500 or so words I want to talk about a breakout defenseman with a bad ass name, the wagon that is Seattle,  and a look at Rip Wheeler’s season so far.
 
EPIC NAME AND PLAYER:
The Moscow Menace seem to be at or near the top of the standing every single year I’ve been a part of the VHL.  Great management, smart draft picks, and some trades keep them competitive and deadly year after year.   This year is no different.  After a slow start Moscow has become hot and it’s in large part to their best named Dman and S84 #13 overall pick, AK92 Wit da Hoodie @hedgehog337.
  
Ak is the current assist leader in the league and has shown he is in consideration in the elite level defenseman conversation.  In 9 games he has 14 points.  No goals so far but he did score 22 in S82 and has much more TPE to play with no than two seasons ago.  AK also plays with some grit and with a name like he has, he better.  Last year he had 218 hits, 139 PIMs, and 168 SB.  
Partnered with fellow Moscow Dman, Hammer Voss on the power play these two will stack up some numbers.  
 
Best of luck to AK and the Moscow Menace this year (except when you play Warsaw).
 
SEATTLE BEARS CHEWING THROUGH THE LEAGUE
In 9 short games the Seattle Bears have shown to be a true beast of a team.  Led by their goalie Xavier Booberry @CowboyinAmerica who was traded by Davos In the off season (WTF?) they are off to a 7-0-2 start.  As I look at this club they really have done a great job at getting a mix of grit and scoring. 
 
Up front they have Hulk Hogan 2 @hogan, the best 2 way forward in the league Vasile Lamb @dlamb, journeyman gritty defensemen turned forward Tavish DeGroot @rory, sophomore Randy Bobandy @AJWwho is coming off a 21 goal season, Chip Stone @DoktorFunk, and Yaroslav Bogatyrev @Bojovnik. 
 
On the back end, they run 3 defense which some say is the way to go.  They are led by S82 8th overall pick, Mikhail Kovalchuk @Banackock.  Partnered with lockdown veteran Alessandro Nano they stifle opposing offense and clear the way for Booberry to made endless save after save.   
 
I am excited to see this team flourish as I was a former teammate of Lamb and DeGroot where we won a cup together in S84.  I wish y’all the best of luck this season.
 
RIP WHEELER UPDATE:
Ok want to check in on my buddy Rip Wheeler @ScottyP.  Rip is currently playing for the Oslo Storm in the VHLE.  Rip is off to a decent start with 3 g and 3 a in 9 games and is a +6.  As I checked day before yesterday, he had yet to earn a penalty so I teased him he was going for the Lady Byng after he told everyone he was the next Eric Lindros.   After saying that he has amassed 12 PIMs, only 2 blocked shots, and 29 hits.  Rip is earning good TPE though and I am excited to see where he ends up this year stat wise.  

Until Next Week

Done!

Make that shit light mode friendly RC!

Trade someone else, not your new top prospect!
