Week of: July 2-8 Questions Asked: Answers

I wouldn't say I'm upset with my season but I also wouldn't say I'm over-joyed with it. Would definitely be nice to be leading rookie goals or something like that. Leading forwards in Shots Blocked is kinda nice though, if not completely unexpected. Hopefully I can pick the pace up a little bit as the season continues but we aren't a team that is going to score a lot, I knew that going into the season. A couple for sure. Obviously, like everyone, I was expecting NY to be performing better than they are. Standing wise they are probably the biggest shock for me. Player wise Cast and Preencarnacion are obviously huge standouts right now. Just just as rookies but in general; those guys are seriously going off. Both top 10 in points and Preencarnacion being only 1 goal back from the league lead. These aren't rookie numbers usually; it's crazy to witness. At the start of the season I think I predicted NY and Calgary but that doesn't seem nearly as likely now. I still have confidence in Calgary but I'm thinking Helsinki might make the finals as well again. I'm not sure why, I just think Davos is going to choke in the playoffs. As for how many games, if it's Calgary and Helsinki, I'm thinking 6. Do I not formally wear it this season? I mean without top leader it's all a formality anyway but I would gladly wear the C again next season depending on who we bring in. Honestly we're at a point where I don't foresee any major moves being necessary as we don't really have any pieces to deal anyway. There is the potential of moving up in what could be a solid draft obviously but that will be entirely dependent on how the lottery goes. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and land the first overall pick again without having the trade up. Right now I'm leaning toward Calgary, I think they have a very strong roster to bring home the cup. Obviously Helsinki has proven to be the team that never dies though so who knows what could happen.

Been too long. Back in the day everyone used to post everything for CnC and it made us all better. So, I offer you this: a set of sig / savvy for our very own VHL Games account to make game posts just a bit prettier. Made it at work so I didn't have any stocks to work with.

Are you on mobile? I noticed I couldn’t do anything with them on mobile but could on my desktop.

Thanks for the reminder, I updated the welcome topic settings.

2. VHLM players like yourself get 2, VHL players get 1. Just a minor boost for the young guys.

Well of course it doesn’t, they live in two completely different ecosystems.

I think you need to get out of this mindset that we’re opposed to anything that could affect stats. Hell, I have suggested multiple times sealing off the old record books and starting new ones. We’re not opposed to all change, just sometimes there is no major reason to change so why should we mess with the stats and stuff just to make changes for the sake of it? Like this for example. Shortening the season by simming more is basically countered by adding more games so why would we do both? We take out a week of simming but add in another 3-4 days to make up the extra 10 games. Indont kind the idea of a faster season or the idea of 82 games so we can compare to the Pro’s better but there’s no real reason to do both IMO. Especially since the balance of the league is based around x amount of TPE in a given season and that is based on a season averaging 8 weeks. As for @Bushito‘s complaint: we could probably do a full double week to make up for it which would be kinda fun. A week where literally everything gets doubled. That only accounts for 1 week taken from the sim though. I imagine something like this would remove more than 1 week. As it stands, on average, each team gets 2 games per sim. That means 36 days of simming or roughly 5 weeks (regular season only). Increasing that to 3 games per team per day means 24 days aka 3.5 weeks so we’d drop 1.5 weeks off the season just with the change to regular season and not touching playoffs.

A win and a shutout, holy shit

Just went and verified you so you can go into player management on the portal and put your starting 30 TPE in.

You’re good. We just recently changed the procedure so there are likely some guides still kicking around with old information.
