Beketov

STHS must deem these the playoffs which means it also deems me completely useless for reasons I can't explain.

Of course I would choke when it matters most

Holik* wins championships! I mean not the continental cup of course but still.

Future Prospect > Active goalie for 8 games. I know you're just messing around, but just pointing it out. Even if that player stays down an extra season, you still have potentially 7 seasons with them. In exchange for that you got a guy that will ride pine 64/72 games (and he pissed about it since it's Zimmers).

Awful lot to pay for someone to ride pine then

Something a little different this time around, hopefully it worked out. I brought @punkhippie in as a guest this week and together we answered some questions from him as well as @gorlab. After that I put on my hosting hat and asked him some questions. All in all it was a good time; technical difficulties aside. *For Holik

Not sure I've ever seen a week where I received 0 questions, that's unfortunate. Oh well, let's come back with a vengeance shall we? I have the next two days off so I have plenty of time to record a CoDCast so if you guys can come through with some questions that would be phenomenal. I'm also planning on trying to have some guests so if you want in let me know and maybe we can work out a time. @eaglesfan036 @The Bread Man @der meister @Phil @tfong @Molholt @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @mpclardy @hedgehog337 @Devise @Smarch @Will @Streetlite @punkhippie

Clearly @YEAH!stlemania is attempting to throw games he starts.

This is why you don't start @YEAH!stlemania BTW @punkhippie. He plays better when he's sat for a bit. Good win though boys.

+4 for Sokolov

I just can't win haha

Nashville vs. Pittsburgh Winner: Pittsburgh # of Games: 6 Player that Scores Cup Winning Goal: Malkin

For the record @Higgins I already claimed the bonus TPE for this even if you haven't told me to do so

@YEAH!stlemania will have your head if he gets the starts.

I hadn't read that yet. And to be fair I did say (sr at least meant to if I didn't) that I wasn't sure on your rationale, I was simply spit balling. If it was the best choice then it was the best choice, simple as that.

In order to please Supreme Overlord @Higgins I decided to do a review of the World Cup lineups this week instead of just randomly coming up with topics. Gave me something to talk about at least. While trying to do that I struggle with a sniper rifle (that I just can't get gold) in Infinite Warfare with the usual amount of rage associated with it. *For Holik (Ironically enough)

Sokolov*

I knew I was forgetting to tag someone. The CoDCast would love to have you (you as well @punkhippie even though I’m not directly replying to you) Over the next 2 weeks I’ll be working 7:30 to 3:30 so I’ll have some extra time in the afternoon. Plus my weekends are getting all shifted around so I’ll likely have some extra time in the middle of certain days.

To be fair it's hard to predict GAA but my 1.49 this year will drop it from 2.16 to 2.06. So if I can get the same drop next season I'll be top 3.

VHL Radio's CoDCast is looking to make a change to the format that has worked well for it's first 54 episodes. Thus far each episode of the weekly VHL Podcast has featured only Beketov himself with no other guests, hosts, or otherwise. That format could be changing soon though as Beketov is officially opening up the possibility to have the early morning show feature guests; especially if he can get it running in a more opportune time slot. We reached out to the VHL agent and podcaster for comments on the matter, "The CoDCast has worked well with me running it solo but there comes a time when talking to myself just starts to get a little stale so I thought hey, why not open it up to some guests? Most of the time I do unfortunately have to record very early in the morning (about 6-7am Atlantic time) so that limits most of my potential guests. However I may have an opportunity in the coming weeks to record later in the afternoon. It still wouldn't be in the evening but at least people would be awake. So yeah, I thought maybe I could see if people would like to come onto the show. I thought it might be fun." Unfortunately this would probably be a short lived feature of the CoDCast as the regular schedule will likely take back over soon. However Beketov has announced that he's accepting applications for guests if people are interested. Having a copy of Call of Duty is not required as the role would be purely a speaking one. *For Holik Just a quick list of people I know tend to offer questions who may potentially be interested, I'd be open to hosting basically anyone though: @punkhippie, @Devise, @Phil, @der meister

This honestly might be my last goalie because of the inconsistency. It happens with all players but goalies it easily hits harder. Overall means nothing, attributes mean nothing, TPE means nothing. The sim will decide which goalies it likes and which ones it hates (especially in the playoffs) and no amount of TPE earning will change that. Assuming similar stats to this season I'll be top 3 in GAA and shutouts all-time but still haven't managed to get to the cup finals even though I played on contending teams for the majority of my career. It makes basically no sense.

Another season, another exit before the finals. It sucks but I must go on and to do that I must record the CoDCast so let's get some questions! @eaglesfan036 @The Bread Man @der meister @Phil @tfong @Molholt @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @mpclardy @hedgehog337 @Devise @Smarch @Will @Streetlite @punkhippie

Honestly I can't even explain my playoff performances, it makes no sense. Like @Devise said, purely going off sim stats there should have been NO REASON that I played that bad. We can say that Power should have been in for game 5 and what not but it made no logical sense to do so. However, for some reason, Holik has historically not performed well in the playoffs even when his attributes say that he should. I don't know what kind of weird background things go on in STHS but somehow certain players (myself) just can't manage to perform in the playoffs.

Once again I can't make it into the final. Yet another disappointment of a year for Holik's who just can't get that Continental cup he really wants. GG Quebec.
