Beketov

Treachery! I was willing to bring you with me!

#Triggered Well yeah, I COULD just ask for it in a normal way but where's the fun in that?

That would involve going back there. Besides, as I recall I did some and they were never implemented. Maybe I'm wrong but I definitely recall doing them.

#HavingFun gives me something to do between CoDCasts and checking games haha

Thank you for the support, welcome to the team haha

*points at HOF builder category*

It's a shame that goalies can't seem to fight in STHS, pretty sure I could have killed this TOR G scrub. Or that Sokolov scrub, he's awful.

But see, I've tasted the injustice the VHL can dish out, I've been on the other side. Does that not make me a perfect candidate?

10 seasons ago the VHL saw it's last hashtag craze, #Beke4Builder, come to fruition as Alexander Beketov was brought into the Hall of Fame as a builder; it appears as a tenth anniversary of that the leader of the campaign, Beketov himself, has decided to once again get his has tag game on. The hashtag #Beke4BOG has been trending recently around the VHL, rallying support to get Beketov a spot in the Board of Governors that many think is long overdue. The BoG, of course, has been around for many seasons and helps the blue team in the VHL to make decisions regarding the league's future. Many people have expressed since the campaign started that they were unaware Beketov was not a member, assuming that his 52 seasons in the VHL would be enough to earn him a spot. That is not the case, however, as he has once again been left on the sidelines in a similar fashion to the builder category in the Hall of Fame. The #Beke4BOG campaign hopes to rectify that and get Beketov a seat on the committee. When asked for details a spokesperson for the campaign had this to say, "We don't feel the need to point anyone out specifically but there have been many people added to the board of governors over the years who have neither paid their dues or respected the seat that they hold. Often times Beketov's playing career (let alone his career in the VHL as an agent) has been longer than some people have waited before getting their board seat. meanwhile Mr. Beketov has been patiently waiting for an invite for 52 seasons and has not heard a peep. It's time for patience to be put aside. Mr. Beketov wishes to contribute to the league that has been a home to him for many years and feels like he his being pushed aside in favour of younger people who may not have the same interest." Several prominent VHL members have rallied around the cause, including members of the BOG itself, but were unavailable to comment. Members of the league can, of course, use #Beke4BOG in as many public settings as possible if they wish to show their support for the cause and the campaign invites you to do so. VHL.com will update the public when more campaign news comes forth. *For Holik

He mentioned that he might have prospects playing in the pre-season.i assume it's just that.

Did we crank the penalties up or something? 84 total penalty minutes!

Don't even feel bad, this is much better than a lot of things I've seen before.

Well I chose a wonderful game to play like shit...

In this episode of the CoDCast we get another golden AR, play against a YouTube celebrity, choke great games and make some predictions about the season. Questions provided by @Smarch, @Phil, and @tfong. *For Holik

Yes to both. Replace Leadership with Offensive Defenseman and replace Sportsmanlike with Lowest GAA. That's my opinion on the matter anyway.

I remembered that and edited it. Wingate could be an option maybe, or one of the older goalies. I would say if we want to keep the same amount of awards then it would be nice to have top defenseman split (plus it makes the voting more fair) and bring in a lowest GAA award. Forwards have at least 5 awards that they can get and goalies can't (6 if you count leadership since goalies are rarely allowed to be official captains) and yet goalies only have 1. Plus 3 of the player awards (goals, assists, points) can't be disputed so it would be nice to give goalies the same treatment in at least 1 category. #Beke4BOG @Phil haha

Top Leader and Most Sportsmanlike, IMO, both shouldn't exist. There's barely any tangible way to actually award them and a lot of times it just ends up being a crapshoot based on basically nothing. Without being present in the locker rooms it's impossible to tell who's being a good leader (and a lot of times it isn't even one of the captains) so that one is near impossible to vote for. Meanwhile sportsmanlike is just masssively I'll-defined and usually just goes to someone with pretty low PIM which seems like a pretty boring thing to reward someone for. I think it would be far more interesting to have something like the Jennings trophy (fewest goals against) since goalies only have 1 possible award right now (MVP awards aside obviously but it's still way less than players have). We could also have it as lowest GAA which isn't consistent with the NHL but it would result in the same player for our purposes (since all goalies play the same amount basically). Not sure who to name it after (With shaw and Kanou already) but still. I'd rather see that brought in and have the above 2 retired.

I feel like most players in their 8th season are at a point where they've saved up a bunch of money. This sounds more like you don't have a lot of money leftover and don't like the options available rather than the options don't exist.

Time to change up my tag a little bit to see if we can save a few people from having to hold down the questions every week; not that I don't want them though so bring on anything you can think of! @eaglesfan036 @The Bread Man @der meister @Phil @tfong @Molholt @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @mpclardy @hedgehog337 @Mr. Power @Smarch @Will @Streetlite @Green

Was hoping I'd at least be able to take more votes for top goalie (though I knew I certainly lost when the slobo voting opened) but oh well, I've gotten used to losing it haha. Congrats everyone that took home some hardware. @STZ joins the club of people to win more awards in 1 season than I have in all my years combined.

This. I can't bank TC and I don't want to use it until after depreciation but that won't really work if you wait for the season to start.

Guys... am I out here by myself or something?
