Tisk Tisk Tisk, even with my warning at the deadline here we are with not 1 but two teams having broken the Louth rule. Calgary started their backup 7 times, missing the requirement by 1 AND Vancouver (fittingly with the name of the rule) started their backup 6 times, missing the requirement by 2. Since they are both playoff teams the precedent is clear. Backup goalies will be in net for game 1 for both teams and for game 2 for Vancouver. @Beaviss @Bushito

Man, I was so much kinder in my goodbye post haha. I’ll see you in the HoF buddy.

INDEX @VHL GM VHLM Regular season still need to finish up and we want to give you guys some time to get your lines set and stuff so I'm thinking playoffs will likely start Monday. Still, we might do things early and start them tomorrow so get your lines in ASAP. As a note for everyone, this index doesn't include the most recent updates (they are a couple of days behind I think) but I will be updating for every playoff sim so rest assured that they will be accurate for the sims.

There’s a potential conflict of interest for both of us. I’m in the playoffs with a player, Devise is with a player and a GM. There’s no way to avoid it. Its called trusting your simmers, something most people besides Gorlab are fine with.

Simmer’s curse, I’m always screwed.

The question is do I rig a Malmo win for personal gain or a Davos win to avoid suspicion?

It’s honestly gonna be a hell of a showdown. Malmo May have the Victory Cup but these two teams aren’t as separated as they appear in paper. I fully expect this will go to at least 6 if not 7 and be ridiculously tight. I have 1.6 PPG in the playoffs so far in my career so hopefully I can keep that kind of pace up and stomp through Davos’ Defense. Gonna be tough though.

Good time to heat up.

Naturally I do well when we lose haha

Welcome to the VHL, bren4378! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

Good time to get backup games sorted, nothing more.

I’m not sure off the top of my head what the tiebreakers are but if you guys were out the index would list you as eliminated and it doesn’t so you must have the tiebreaker. If I recall the tiebreaker is wins and then GF.

Hey, mathematically still counts. I mean if Davos gets a single point in their last 4 games, or Moscow loses a single game, then Moscow is out but there is technically still a chance haha

The coloured logo was actually Stockholm’s logo. The black and white circular one was their alternate created after.

Combined with the fact that Scotty was our first simmer so was able to figure out exactly the meta build for STHS while everyone else was flailing about trying to figure out what worked. I’ve long suggested we lock the record books and start fresh ones so that some records are actually attainable. For example, Thompson has the most goals of any player since S10 and it’s still only 4th all-time and over 200 under Scotty. No other player has hit 500 goals, Scotty has over 600.

All time everything leader*

@boubabi was technically indefinitely banned so this graphic is wrong

S62 was definitely an anomaly. We’ve been mostly trending down in scorers, probably from just having so many players spreading the puck around. There was just the right combination of good players and bad goalies in S62 though that created a bit of a crazy season for scoring.

He definitely meant the player because I’ve been a builder for 26 seasons already.

It was hit or miss on when people actually included the J but it was part of the official name. A lot of times it got skipped because people assumed it was a typo.

Amstel Tijgers* Yes it has a J in it as the official name. Yes it was dumb.

You can do that or you can just do the theme next week, either is fine.

It’s not all job holders, simply job holders who normally have their job cover their PT anyway. Not fair to say they can’t get the bonus because of doing their job or fair to say they should do their job without pay for a week. The fairest compromise is to have them get paid as they would and get the bonus as everyone else can.

Player creation is fine.
