Beketov

The one team I don't want to see Sokolov doing well against...

I guess I wanted a big one to pass @JardyB10 for 2nd all-time in shutouts. Also STHS is inconsistent as hell haha

Stockholm vs. Toronto*

I let 2 in on 10 shots against Davos but shutout Stockholm? I mean I'll take it but damn I'm confused.

Border + Sokolov = beast mode

Yeah, I'm bad for that too

Claim 4 for Sokolov

I love looking at TO games because they contain one of my players actually doing something moderately useful.

Glad to get the win but 10 bloody shots should be a shutout. Apparently I wasted all my shutout juice last season. At this rate I won't even get the 4 I need for 2nd all-time

That 1 indeed appears to be my trend this season haha If my shutout is gonna get blown I'd at least like to see Sokolov getting a point out of it haha, damn goalie stealing my assists.

*For Holik

Clearly I should have made a defenseman earlier in my VHL career, I guess I'm decent at it haha

Kept it close at least, it honestly shouldn't have been with those shot totals. Also, this is NY vs. QUE BTW, Title says Calgary.

You're starting to get on my nerves now

4 points and a big win. No complaints from me.

Shutout 1 game, 4 goals against the next. Gotta love that consistency

1/23

Short CoDCast this week as I didn’t have many questions. Answered some from @der meister and @mpclardy (plus discussed some from @punkhippie from last week) though and then sorta rambled for a bit. *For Holik

I would ruin my own shutout. None over the first four games is definitely different from last season haha

Gonna be recording this likely Saturday morning so get your questions in soon!

It's the Republican way. They will do anything to try and steer the conversation away from themselves. All they want to hear about is bloody Clinton even though it's obvious that Comey's testimony as nothing to do with it. Checks and Balances in Government my ass. If the check and balances were working as they are supposed to then Trump would already be up for impeachment. The fact is Republicans are letting him get away with whatever he wants because they wouldn't dare do something that could harm themselves in the eyes of voters. It's clear to the entire world that Trump is a corrupt Sociopath but The House and the Senate don't dare enough to do anything about it.

Of course, how could I forget. I mean Sharpe did get a cup after all, that means he's the best right?

I could manage a S54 NYA style 1 line team with my players; since I've only had 1 defenseman I can't do anything more though haha. That would be: Alexander Beketov - Jason White - Jackson Miller Roman Sokolov - CPU Jakab Holik

The world cup has come and gone with team World finishing without a medal at 4th place after bringing home bronze in the Season 52 tournament. Neither result was quite what goaltender Jakab Holik was hoping for. While his teams never fully held him accountable for the losses they endured, Holik wound up being harder on himself. Unfortunately for the Czech netminder, who is entering his final season in the VHL, losses in the playoffs feel all to familiar, be they world cup or VHL. Holik has been to the playoffs in 4 straight VHL seasons, coming in with the first round bye in three of those. However he has never stepped foot onto the ice in the Continental cup finals. One could argue a lack of depth of star power has kept Holik from glory but often his stats tell the story. In those 4 seasons he has never had a GAA under 2.18 and never a S% above .917; a far stretch from his regular season statistics in the same years. While Holik's regular season statistics put him within Hall of Fame aspirations his abysmal playoff performances could easily result in his omission from the hall and the minds of VHL fans. Holik is hoping to oust those playoffs demons this season. The Americans enter Season 55 as underdogs without a doubt. Quebec, Stockholm, and Helsinki all have stronger teams on paper and younger men between the pipes. If Holik hopes to end his career on top, hoisting the continental cup as he never has before, he'll have to be able to topple the league's giants. The Americans have managed to acquire some extra help on defines, a major flaw they had in Holik's first year on the team, but will that be enough to counteract his age? The playoffs are quite a ways off to be even discussing right now but without a doubt Holik has his eyes focussed on finishing at the top. *For Holik
