Beketov

Silly name? How about Victor Rasputin?

Ahh the perfect time to introduce the world to Beketov Whysoserious. Either that or Mr. Shakedown.

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?

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.

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).

Lol did I correctly predict not much interest for Holik. Hey there is always Helsinki because even if they draft King or Ironside it's not a good idea to hand them the starting job right off the bat without a veteran platoon/mentor otherwise Moon will happen!

You haven't predicted anything yet, no idea what teams are or aren't interested in me. The status was just joking that I woke up and everyone in the LR was suddenly gone haha

You know if you had followed me while I was streaming it would have done a whole overlay thing and I could have been all grateful and stuff

I followed you, now play pubg and give me a belated grateful thing

I couldn't play PUBG if I wanted to. No mac version and my PC isn't strong enough to run it because it was never built to be and is old.

yeah it's annoying that we didn't save them. But I think was just a case of us switching hosts in S18 (so we have that and S19) and then finally getting our own site for S20. But for your purposes, I don't think there would have been a long shutout streak in the first 17 seasons, way more offensive back then. Maybe from someone like Laframboise but feel like that would be better known.

Yeah, for this purpose I’m not too worried. I can’t see there being a streak longer than 2 prior to the Shaw / Kanou era. It sucks to not have the indexes in general but it shouldn’t affect this any. I’ve looked at 10 seasons so far and have only found 1 streak above 2.

I remembered the pro team schedule page exists so that's a much faster way of searching through these, bonus. Also, it won't be in the final document but let it be known that in S32 both Helsinki's and Calgary's Backup goalies got 2 shutout streaks. They were the only streaks that season.

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.

WTF is a kappa?

I have no idea who Kappa is but from a quick Google search it tells me he's a Twitch dude.

Basically twitch sarcasm meme. That's the main point anyway

That does get to it yes. There’s also a button right on the home page though, right under the search bar. Or if you’re on mobile it’s the icon to the left of the search at the top.

It has literally been a feature for as long as I can remember, I do not understand why people don’t use it.

Because I don't explore it smh

I still never know where is new content

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.

Yeah man I know the feeling sometimes I accidentally write entire media spots with caps lock on and have to just scrap it. 

I actually think I'd read more media spots if they were all in caps. Adds a layer of extreme that I think would help make any point.

WE JUST MADE UPDATE SCALE CHANGES TO THE VHL! SEE WHAT I MEAN! 

Any samples ?

@BeavissI mean they are in pretty decent shape so any samples would kinda give it away. I'd rather keep it a secret.

That's probably the way to go without a searchable database

What else would they be? Pie charts are pie charts and cameltoe graphs are cameltoe graphs. I never mix the two.

I watch it for the plot.
