Same here my friend. We'll go at it pretty good this season!

Review: Wow, this is a really well put together article. The different colours and sizes of the fonts help you separate them into certain categories, and every single one of the standard TPE claims are listed here. This is something I would love to see pinned and used a reference point for newer members submitting their first claims. Great job @Ricer13! 10/10

Review: This is a really fun read. I enjoyed all of the little references and tidbits that made this article a blast to read. Maybe you will win the White House on top of ROTY? This will certainly send shockwaves throughout the VHL landscape. #JGGForPresident 10/10

Another GWG for Laine!

Some topics are better left untouched in conversation. Helsinki Titans forward Patrik Laine didn't hold back when a reporter, who has had a history of trashing and making things up about the young finnish star, attempted to touch one of those topics in a post-game interview after Helsinki's 5-4 OT Win against Riga. "Patrik, Helsinki is currently sitting at 3-2-0 on the season including tonight's win against Riga. There is so much on this team that can be improved upon with a few trades. This can make you an expendable asset. My question is, do you see yourself bei-" "Don't even go there....Don't even go there.....It doesn't matter what I answer, you're gonna write f**king s**t anyways. Like what do you want me to say? Can/will I be traded? Yes, definitely a possibility, but it's not going to happen as far as I know. I know I'm a big piece for the future of this team moving forward. Helsinki wouldn't just throw me away for nothing. We're a team that is contending for the Continental Cup and that's all we have on our minds at this time. So, do something not just for my sake but for everyone else's sakes as well. Stop making up sh*t rumours every time a star player bats an eyelash and report on some actual sh*t. Or better yet, just drop out of sports journalism all together. Next Question." Near the end of the media availability, Laine was asked about the outburst, and issued an apology out to the other reporters who were present" "I mean, I just don't like being slandered. I've made it pretty clear that I love being in Helsinki and there isn't any other place I'd rather be. Makes it hard though when you have to deal with the same guy spreading the same rumours all over again. Sorry you guys had to see me go off like that." (319 words)

1) Shots definitely. 2) A combination of shots blocked, hits and +/- tells me how engaged a player is in the defensive aspects of the game. Points tells me how much offensive contribution comes from a player. 3) Oh, these are my Titans shoes. I got them made by a local footwear shop down the street. Pretty neat, huh? (They got Helsinki logos all over them, past and present) 4) Hmmmm....Hard to say. All of us have pretty neat cars from what I've seen. Probably myself only because I have a few spare sticks in the back of my car. 5) Malmo. We played on the road there last season, and I had to wear an N95 walking past their locker room. 6) My heart. It's a good idea so when it gets broken I have insurance on it. 7) Soggy veggies. Veggies alone are fine, I thoroughly enjoy them, but not when they are all soggy. 8.) 16 Reasons why Helsinki is better than every other VHL club ft. @BladeMaiden and @Jubo07. All proceeds from the ad (if any) would go to local charities. 9) I've heard quite a few nicknames in my time. Laine, Patty, The Finnisher (my personal favourite). I can't wait to see what they can come up with this year. 10) As a betting man, Red Lite, but I really want to see Gunnar Odinsson take it. 11) Skating 50 laps. Helps with acceleration, speed and endurance. 50 laps with a puck as well helps with those quick turns. 12) Winning the Continental Cup. The fans deserve it. Jubo and Blade ESPECIALLY deserve it. Now we gotta find a way to win it. 13) Baseball in my humble opinion is generally boring. During the playoffs it gets interesting, but during the regular season it is boring. I can't really think of any ways to open it up to be more interesting though.

Take 37 is the last take you'll need. I'm interested

Love this team. Everyone should get a letter. GO TITANS!

Petition to call this the Patrik group @Patrik Tallinder?

Review: Although it will definitely take some time and development, I believe the NYA will return to being an annual cup contender. There is slowly a core starting to form, and the additions they have made in the draft accelerate that process. I have faith in @Esso2264 and @dlamb. Even with the entry level contracts in effect, they can try free agency and attempt a run while those ELCs still exist. Even without those ELCs, they will still be able to push for a cup in a few seasons, maybe sooner. They did have some good showings by @Rhynex Entertainment and some good prospect developments despite an abysmal season overall. Maybe even a big splash move such as a trade could be the solution? I do see a core there, so with the way things have been going, a trade may not be needed. Well written article. The formatting in particular (capitalization, paragraph structure) could use quite a bit of work, but your writing overall was solid. You put all the options on the table which I completely agree with, because nothing is completely out of the equation for a team. 10/10

Review: Wow, It's cool to see articles like this. Predictions are hard to come by but logically thinking about how many points players will record in the uncoming season is a creative idea. It's not like you are pulling these predictions out of a hat either, these are actually well thought out using past statistics. You got really close on some last season and I expect you to hit a few this season. 10/10

Laine approves this message

Couldn't ask for a better GM and AGM!

I LOVE THIS TEAM LETS GO TITANS!

@Jubo07 FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY

sorry to literally everyone who put their predictions on me.

Congratulations @fishy! To all those who were nominated but didn't win it, congratulations as well! You guys all help make the VHL a better place and should be recognized for your contributions

face reveal or nah?

I went out and got you a box full of 24 bags for each. You don't need to give me the code (I've kept a watchful eye on the draft class.)
