You would be surprised how many people don’t understand odds. I used to sell scratch tickets and people legit had the belief that if there was a 1/4 chance of winning they would be guaranteed a winner if they bought 4. People do not understand that each one has the same 1/4 chance.

A bit of timing and a lot of good luck really. I’ve had only 1 player get 2 and several players get none including a 20 season run without even making the finals. There’s been good teams in there obviously but especially with 16 teams now just being on a “good team” isn’t really enough, you need that luck of the draw element as well. And that doesn’t even account for whatever voodoo curse @Gustav only just exorcised.

Hahahahahaha that is glorious

Give this man 1 cup and he’s out here wanting to change 97 seasons of precedent

https://vhlportal.com/players/playerfocus/84 tbh his point totals were better than I remember; especially since he spent most of his career on D. 5/6 seasons above 1 PPG isn't bad at all by modern standards, was just nothing exceptional for the time.

They had high prices to start and they have only gone up. Combine that with the holiday season where our budgets end up tighter because we have all the charity work and giveaways and you end up with a situation where the cash flow just isn’t there.

Round Robin Index Medal Round Index We're likely to get the tournament games started tomorrow unless things go wrong, which could happen given how late this wound up getting up today. Apologies that this wasn't done yesterday but I was working 12 hours so like... Anyway, that said to the 5 WJC GM's please send your lines directly to me either on the forum or discord. Any questions just shoot me a DM on Discord or a PM on the forum. Rosters should be good but if you see anything wrong let me know immediately. Best of luck to everyone lets have a fun tournament.

Not going to bother with the members tag on this as it mostly affects the @VHL GM’s but just wanted to get it out there. This does not affect the upcoming Season 98 but for Season 99 and Season 100 we are slightly reducing the Salary Cap for the VHL. The cap for S99 will be 42 Million and the cap for Season 100 (and forward from there) will be 40 million. The goal of these tweaks is to spread out players a bit to get the league parity more evened out. - @Commissioner

First off, sorry for the delay on this. I’ve been busy with work, @Josh had to attend a sudden funeral, life got in the way. With that said @Lemorse7 did announce they were stepping down as GM of Riga which means we have a hiring to do. As always the league would like to obviously thank Lemorse for their time devoted to the Riga franchise and congratulate them on the team’s success they achieved. But as one chapter closes another begins. It is my pleasure to announce the new GM of the Riga Reign is @v.2 . Congratulations and welcome aboard. - @Commissioner

Off-Season! That means I'm almost done with having to write these; I know it'll be such a shame for you all. Actually come to think of it I was backup this season which means I need to deal with the WJHC simming. That is both a blessing (because I get that sweet sweet simmer pay back) and a curse (because IMO it's the worst tournament to sim. At least I'll also likely be taking part as a player this season so that's fun; maybe Copia can actually perform a bit; which reminds me I should probably actually like assign some of this TPE. In similar news, looks like @Baby Boomer has passed me for the lead in TPE in the draft class; though this should tie us up so we'll see I guess. I don't really EXPECT to lead the class, I rarely do, but who knows. Maybe we'll end up with a tie even, that would be fun. I have been scout a bit now though not much. I don't really blame a lot of the GM's given that basically outside the top 3 it's unlikely you'll get me. Seems conceited but just how my last stretch of players has gone; AKA 4 straight 1st overall picks... I mean technically Lahtinen was second but Calgary owned both picks and Bush openly admitted he drafted me second to troll me so I count that. We'll know soon enough either way. Maybe I should finally get the cardinal a sig... hmmmm. Any takers? I'm thinking This could be a fun render given the Papa head.

Hard to say, I don't usually do super well in the VHLM so the fact that Copia has been iffy isn't super surprising. The fact that I'm right around the top of the TPE for the draft class is nice so that's something. I mean I have distinctly never GMed and for good reason so what do I know haha. I feel like realistically you want a balance so you have the star power but also the future. With that said though, a strong young team could turn into a dynasty so that would be nice. Nope. I could have a guaranteed cap every week in the SBA but I just found I don't have the time to actually pay attention so it's just not worth it for me. Being in multiple sim league's is a young man's game haha. ---------- 1. Let's say theoretically I handed you the ability to move any one VHL franchise to anywhere you want: Which team is getting moved and to where? 2. Is a hotdog a sandwich? 3. In your opinion which VHL team is the greatest of all time?
