I would argue it isn’t a classic but that’s exactly the problem isn’t it. The animation is detailed and great, the writing is funny, the characters are awesome; it’s a perfect Christmas movie. Also it has MULTIPLE Santa’s, how many other Christmas movies have that?

As it was intended I’m sure haha

PLAYOFF INDEX @VHLM GM Here is your index for the playoffs, we will be starting these tomorrow so please get your lines and such ready in the meantime. The schedule will be the same as always. Games 1 and 2 simmed day 1; 3 and 4 simmed day 2, and any subsequently required games simmed 1 per day. Also as per the rules adding any new players is unfortunately now closed, this is a physical limitation of STHS. However all the new ones added in the last couple of days have been added to your rosters so you can put them in your lines. As they were during the regular season sims will be live and available here: https://www.twitch.tv/beketov_vhl I will update discord each day when I'm going live. Hope you all had a great regular season and looking forward to some playoff action.

And Papa loves Moscow. Franchise Playoff Wins: Franchise RS Wins: Now to see if I can get 8 wins for the all-tie playoff wins record and ideally a cup to round off the career with a quad-gold.

Honestly it means exactly what it sounds like: we had more active members 2 years ago. That isn’t surprising news though. COVID lockdowns, while unpleasant, were huge for the sim league community. 2020 was probably our biggest year of growth so it having the most members isn’t overly surprising. Also if I recall I was posting those in the morning vs. These are going up midnight Pacific so it’s possible more people were just seeing them at “peak times” before but I doubt that.

We actually doubled the amount we’re matching for the charity drive this season because we have more than we need. If you don’t want to donate then don’t donate. In actuality the depreciation numbers are higher but the amount you lose is basically on point with pre-hybrid depreciation so nothing has really changed. Don’t let that ruin your narrative though.

@Quik pushed for this several times before we settled on the 9 season career the way it is. His pitch had it as a store purchase where you basically buy extra seasons and while the fighters we’re inherently blocked at any point (from what I recall) buying the extra seasons would cost so much that depreciation would nail you. I believe the original thought was 10 season limit. I don’t recall what most of the backlash was outside of record book stuff (which I’ve always said either lock the record books and restart them or just don’t really choose to care) but I know several BOG members at the time were heavily against the idea. Personally I know I would have loved to have the option of more seasons to go for like more goals with Thompson or a cup with Lahtinen. Now kind you nine of that really encourages people to retire earlier than 8 seasons. More or less it just means people choosing to play longer in order to chase one thing or another.

Back in the day you were actually rewarded for retiring early. Retiring after season 6 offered peak carryover and it decreased slightly in years 7 and 8. This was, by design, to help turnover draft classes rather than having everyone go the full 8 all the time.

TIL @JardyB10 doesn’t know who Mark Calaway is.
