I was decently happy with 6 points in 3 games. And then I saw that @Victor got 12. Jesus fucking Christ man, what did you sacrifice to the sim gods and where can I get some?
-
It’ll definitely be a surprise if the WJC gold medal game isn’t Canada vs. Asia with how the round robin is going. 8/10 of the top scorers belong to those 2 teams and the top 4 are all Asia. Can anyone play spoiler? We shall see.
-
VHLM sim may not be posted but fret not, the S62 WJC is still beginning on time! First 3 days are posted which means at least 2 games per team.
-
I wouldn’t complain about a Jason white style 10 point game right now, would be a welcome boost. Still though, on pace for 137, can’t complain too much about that.

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.

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).

28 games into the season I’m officially 1 point back of my total from last year. Most improved anyone?
-
I wonder if @street is planning his usual VFHL update podcasts. I’m no expert at it but it seems at least my defensemen and goalie should be in decent shape. Not sure about my offense.

New Cup banners are up for both the VHL and VHLM. Been a long time since I’ve worked with the Davos banner layout.
-
@Will is working on a way to integrate bits of the portal into the forum but until we get that working I at least added an "Update your player" button at the top to make things a bit easier for those that don't like going off-site. It's still off-site but at least its easier to get to right?
-
I’m going to assume I’m not the only one having server issues? Can see the main page but that’s about it.

Just put the HoF ballot up for discussion this season. God damn, my fingers hurt from putting in so many awards. Can't help but feel like Holik's chances of making the HoF just went down the tube; or at least they did for the next few seasons that these guys will dominate.

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.
-
For anyone curious the HoF voting is done I just haven’t had any time at a computer when I can write up the post. I’ll try at lunch today.
-
So, who won the draft in everyone's eyes? Obviously from a bias standpoint I gotta say that Seattle grabbing both commishes is huge. However Riga potentially managed to grab some huge steals.
-
I am officially 1 TPE back from @street right now for the draft lead; chances are things will stay this way I imagine. Has any draft ever been quite this tight in the TPE race?

If I'm right @Beketov, you also have 2 TPE that you haven't added from the S59 Award Predictions yet right?
-
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.
-
@Will with the huge update to join the ever growing 200 TPE club of the S61 draft. If he lot of us can stay active there’s likely to be a very tough HoF ballot come S70.
-
Streaming some Titanfall 2. Anyway wanna come hang out?
-
Still getting the site back up to it's usual self after that bout of broken images. We're working on restoring everything right now, it'll come with time.
In the meantime the league rolls on. Discussion has been put up in the BOG for this season's HoF induction. Lot of great names up to potentially enter the hall.
-
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.
-
@Will is working on probably one of the biggest changes to come to the VHL since it's creation. Can't wait to share it with you guys soon; it's looking great.

Quebec once again proving they cannot catch a break with lotteries. Also, given what was said in the recent edition of Speculatoria; I think the 1st overall choice has suddenly become much clearer.
