Beketov

I say, posting all broken links. I will try to fix. Standby.

I could swap you guys goaltenders and smash you in a playoff series.

"Give me the highest TPA player in the league and we will be better." Oh Victor

Did you just contradict yourself?

are we able to see the round robin or any tables to see the teams' progress

STANDINGS

There are 5 teams so I’m not quite sure how the medal round will run as of yet but probably the same as the VHLM used to with a Wild Card round and everyone making it in.

I opened this notification expecting it to say something along the lines of "I know, that's why I picked it" - finding out that at the time, you genuinely had no idea who he was, that just makes it better. Guy had so many knee issues it was surprising he could even finish out his time at Oklahoma (although it's a little easier when your running back is Adrian Peterson) but it's still just weird to think of him going from Heisman to no NFL.

Oh fuck no haha, found out when I made him. Aside from using my real name once all my players are just names I like the sound of.

I've never used my real name for a player, but it is my GM/Builder name. Two of my players have been from TV shows (Clark Marcellin from Tilt, Evan R. Lawson from Royal Pains), one was a generated name from a soccer game I used to play (Xperteleven - Kerkko Hyvarinen was my star centerback for years), and the rest have mostly just been names I liked, although perhaps with minor references here and there (Vaclav Hrdina was theoretically the son of Jan Hrdina, old former Pens center - Martin Brookside was a reference to Brookside chocolates, which were chocolate covered blueberries, cranberries, and pomegranate bits that were big at the time - Lars Intranquilo was a reference to Tranquilo Barnetta the soccer player, with a pun about the meaning of the word "tranquil" and how Intranquilo was anything but tranquil, hence the In- suffix).

Or you're just a sandbagging fuck.

Meanwhile I'm starting to fall off pace a little. Not TPE-wise, but performance-wise. I think you're getting it, unfortunately for my prediction. Better get nominated though!

I reckon I'll be in with a shout.  

ask and ye shall receive https://vhlforum.com/topic/52516-s62-vhfl-update-podcast-1/

Wondering how I'm doing in my group as well. On conventional logic, it should have been a fairly straightforward group, a lot of new guys who don't really know who to take, but I know VHFL doesn't generally reward conventional logic.

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll try to correct it tomorrow. Didn’t realize when i was making the list that the portal had already updated.

No worries I'd likely of done the same thing lol

There, all fixed.

I'm posting the thread now just need to get the tags in

Yup, going only 6 always hinders me. Same thing happened with Mikaelson. It's weird because you shouldn't have to go a full 8 to be eligible.

You don’t have to, it’s not a set rule. Just that going less means fewer games played which means your stats tend to be a bit skewed. That, in turn, makes it less likely. I got in as a first ballot with a Beketov and I retired him after 6. It’s possible.

I think nowadays, when most are going the full 8, at least the ones with HOF credentials, it's near impossible to get in without at least 7 seasons, unless there was a 3+season dominance with multiple awards. Counting stats just dominate the discussion.

In the OG days, Pogge got in with like 4 seasons, and one of those seasons was basically inactive since I retired him pre-season, and Snelheid got in with 6. I don't think we'll be seeing many more 6-season HOF careers, and we definitely won't see another 4-season one.

NYA hands down

Davos because Ahma made it fun

I think Riga. They solidified a top center, goaltender, and defenseman in one go, while adding a winger for their top line to boot.

Come watch me draft a first 1st overall. 

#GambleShmamble

If I'm right @Beketov, you also have 2 TPE that you haven't added from the S59 Award Predictions yet right? 

Do I? Thought I added those but maybe I need to check things over.

I think it basically comes down to if Bana wants to create a defenseman GM player or forward....or just make a goalie to solidify that position and pick his favourite of you or Street. He does has 4th overall as well so a lot of team building from this draft. I think #3 is definitely Victor at this point.

That completely changes the draft.... I had Arvid going before him thought will might pull another Ho Lee Fook.

Good thing I didn’t do my mock draft yet!

I need to get back into that game. It's fucking awesome.

I finished the campaign in 2 streams, probably about 5 and a half hours. Was very solid though. Probably gonna try and platinum it.

Still no chat either, for those that care about it.

I’m aware. We may be back but that downtime was more severe then it initially seemed like it was going to be. @Higgins is working non restoring chat I believe and @Will and I are discussing the cleanup for the old images that are now missing. The site may not be as pretty for a bit but at least we’re functionally there so that’s good. Everything will be back up in time.

As a hint: @Tim  @ADV  @CowboyinAmerica

Yeah figured that was coming soon after seeing the thread where he got the idea. Let me know if you want any input on anything.

Definitely super excited for it, should be really cool and make most people (if not all) happy!

Yeah I saw this at 6 am. Let's hope the picks Brave chooses stay active enough.

The VHL's Vancouver Canucks.

@DollarAndADream “maybe next year”
