  1. 42. It's called Performa-Ade and it's actually just ground up viagra mixed with raspberry flavoured Biosteel. 43. A commercial for winter tires where they compare a car's ability to handle icy roads to Daniel Weaver's ability to deke motherfuckers on the ice. 44. Naturally Sax Justice was cast in the titular role as Harry in a remake of Harry and the Hendersons. 46. Like many young men I briefly went through a period in my teenage years where I lusted after cool looking aggressive and fast sports cars. Now I just want a reliable, economical thing that can carry whatever passengers and cargo that I require in comfort. I drive a 10 year old Ram 1500 with a shitty mismatched canopy and it does exactly what I need and want it to do. 47. I mean, Sax Justice is already basically a WWE name. 49. Going pointless and -1 in a game that we win 4-3.
  2. 27. The captain made a very brief speech and had a toast at the restaurant after the game. Naturally being a milestone goal, the trainer had saved and labelled the puck so that one can go on the mantle. 28. While my rudimentary knowledge of statistics suggests that he will have zero goals at the end of the season, I'm going to suggest that his shooting percentage should at some point approach normality and I'm going to say 17 goals. 29. Our record is fine, but I worry that we're winning a lot of close games, and haven't showed much dominance, so it will probably be a dogfight all year. 30. Absolute career average kind of stuff for Sax Justice. He'll never be "the" guy that leads the offense, but he'll chip in on the second line while playing responsible defense. 31. You should see the banged up old clothes drier in their parents' garage. 32. The kid's name is a Samuel Henry Ledger, or SHL for short. He grows up to join a rival sim league. 33. Due to the current geopolitical climate in the world, I assume Moscow is going to start their own league.

    Holy overpay Batman
  4. 1. Had no predictions, but as a Hounds alum, best of luck! 2. You fools! You're playing right into his hands! 3. Janser? 4. Skate to the bench for a fresh water bottle... while playing was live and the puck was in the other zone. 5. Love it, really classes up the place. 6. Eggs Benedict obviously. Unless it's GameDay, in which case oatmeal. Horses need oats.
  5. 1. Mostly I miss the sims. Our locker room activity has been steady over the off-season, so I just want to be able to check the box scores every day to see how our team does. 2. I know Cow is a veteran user, and I'm not familiar with the other guys, but Calgary has a strong team culture to encourage activity and earning so I have absolute faith that they will all be good picks. 3. I barely pay attention to what our team did, I have absolutely no idea about the rest of the bigs or the minor leagues. 4. The classic hockey card pose, stick held horizontally behind the head, making the whole body into a bit of a flex pose. 5. Yes, but this doesn't change the fact that they are swedish. 6. I drink a lot of water. Unfiltered tap water. Love it. Can't get enough of it. Get it in me.
  6. 1. Feeling good. It's almost a shame to not have to play in the wild card round as the team that we eventually play might have some momentum, while we might have some rust. Need to prepare mentally to not be slow out of the gate. 2. Tough to say, in the tight checking playoffs I expect it to be low scoring, but the competition will be a close match for us. 3. Same as he did in the regular season - Sax will pick up some proximity points just because he gets to be on the ice at the same time as Janser and Wolanin, both those guys will do the scoring while Sax will try to be a water-carrier and responsible two-way player. 4. Janser, easily. 5. Probably been at least 15 years since the last time I used one. Ever since mobile phones became ubiquitous, payphones are kind of obsolete. 6. The Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy.
  7. 1. All the shutouts. Team defense. Block them shots. 2. It's not a matter of if, it's when. We're unstoppable. 3. It's a tight league, there are no gimme games. Gotta work hard every shift, you can't sleep on teams based on where they are in the standings. 4. Shotguns a Coor's Light after warmup but before the anthems. 5. I try not to drink a lot of calories, but I'd take chocolate milk. Rather than drink orange juice, you should eat an orange. 6. A few, not many. I prefer the classic events (hardest shot, accuracy, speed skating) to the gimmicky stuff, but I understand that they're trying to entertain kids of the Twitch generation.
  8. 1. Western Europe isn't usually a powerhouse in men's ice hockey, and it is equally surprising that they did well in an English language sim league. Actually, is my player from the UK? Might be. 2. Ready to rock and roll. Hockey is fun. 3. Regular season will be about the same for Calgary. Playoffs will be a little bit different. 4. Phil for sure. Doesn't get to bust it out very often though. 5. Northern Aplomado Falcon. 6. No, the future is meditation and introspection.
  9. 1. Sax Justice showed up overweight, out of shape, and drunk. As usual. 2. Nope. Don't know anything about any of the drafts. I assume we got players? 3. Antarctica. 4. We've got Unfinished Business. I hope this doesn't age poorly. 5. Between 11pm and midnight if I'm hope and not busy with something. 6.
  10. 1. I think we're set, but Ricer is a pretty active GM so who knows. 2. My player's biggest weakness is that his user doesn't earn lots of TPE, so he is constantly behind the power curve. 3. Seattle or Chicago, I don't pay a ton of attention to the rest of the league though. 4. About as expected. I just try to do my part to hold the line until we can get a skill guy out there. 5. Did a bunch of it earlier in the year, but I really should get on more of it. 6. Not sure about today, but yesterday it was -7C and a nice day for some pond hockey.
  11. 1. Looks like we got a feast of good players. If I had to pick one, I think Adam Rage @MrMom is going to have a great career. 2. Happy to be drafted as a Wrangler! @Ricer13 inexplicably thinks highly of me and reached for my player way too early. 3. I'd play for any team. Don't get me wrong, Calgary is my preference, but I'm a mature enough person that I'd play anywhere. I like teams with active LRs though. 4. I enjoy the VHLM, but with my first player I was confused for a long time about the different ways to earn TPE, so maybe they could teach that a bit better. 5. I support the Vancouver Canucks, for better or worse (usually for worse). 6. Prince Rupert, BC, Canada. Northwest coast of Canada, at the tip of the Alaska panhandle.
  12. 1. It's Game 7 of the Continental Cup finals, in overtime, and the Calgary Wranglers are awarded a penalty shot. Who would you want the Wrangler taking the penalty shot to be? 2. You just got rocked by a hit from behind from some thug on the other team. Who is the first Wrangler on the scene dropping his gloves and coming to beat the shit out of the guy that hit you? 3. It's All Star Weekend, and your player.... was not selected to appear in the All Star Game. How are you spending your days off with no practices or games? 4. Some players age like a fine wine, while others are a candle that burns brightly but for a shorter time. How is your player planning on staying relevant when they hit regression? 5. What should your General Manager @Ricer13dress up as for Halloween? 6. Who is going to win the Stanley Cup, and why is it the Vancouver Canucks?
  13. 1. It is. Are we doing good? I don't know! I think we're doing okay. A little above .500 I think? 2. I'm not a huge NFL. I'm in Wranglers fantasy, but barely pay attention. I used to be into it more, but I watch hockey, baseball, soccer, curling, and Canadian football more than I watch NFL. 3. Ty Justice because the only thing better than Justice is Double Justice. 4. I've got a soft spot for Saskatoon because I played for them with one of my players, and also my mom and her family are originally from Saskatoon. 5. Whatever Phil's current player is, Phil is a fucking beauty. 6. I've only been around since S75, but the league seems like it's in an okay spot right now.
  14. 1. Don't think so, but I also don't think I entered. 2. The league would probably need to condense a whole bunch, right now it seems like most teams only have 10 skaters. 3. Quebec City, because they've lost an NHL team and a VHL team. 4. One more "easy" 2 point task would treat me right, since I don't really do tasks for VHL, on weeks where I don't have an affiliate task from PBE to claim I usually miss out on 2 points. 5. TPE is probably king, performance is luck based (unless their build is whack). 6. Haven't done much so far, but might go fishing for a few hours with my kids despite the terrible weather. 7. I look at what other people are doing and shamelessly copy it.
  15. 1. You can never have enough players named Justice. 2. Quite a bit, but the salary cap is also a part of that. 3. Not sure if it's coincidence, or if there is something going on behind the scenes that is making people want to quit. 4. I am, and DollarAndADream is going to win for sure, based on the fact that he hasn't made a single pick yet. 5. I make a lot of homemade pizza. I used to also make a lot of beer. 6. I'm not sure... it's not my primary sim league, so I have never given full effort to this one. I will say that I am starting to get burned out on sim leagues in general.
  16. 1. I think the playoffs are about the right length, I don't think a change is needed. 2. This one is a pipe dream for the VHL, but one of my favourite things about the PBE is that with OOTP as our sim engine we get to actually "watch" the games play out instead of just seeing a text summary of the game. 3. Rebuild 4. My player getting back on to the Calgary Wranglers! 5. No, unfortunately. English is my first and only fluent language. I know a tiny bit of French, but not enough to have a meaningful conversation. 6. Vancouver Canucks as they are my nearest team, and my Dad was also a supporter.
  17. 1. Next season I think that Sax Justice is going to be joining the Wranglers, so I'm pretty excited about that. 2. Tons, I think? I stay out of management in this league, but I think the salary cap makes it really competitive. 3. Not as much as you might think, being a VHL GM you need to think long term, whereas in the E you are only going to have players with you for a much shorter time. 4. AGMing a VHL team I think. 5. The music I listen to is 90% melodic power metal. 6. In real life? Quite a bit. You can't teach size. And while there are are guys like Quinn Hughes or Brad Marchand that aren't huge and are successful, there are also guys like Tyler Myers or Hal Gill that largely have an NHL career because they are big. In VHL/STHS, I have no idea if height/weight is a factor.
  18. 1. Chicago is the team of Destiny, and Seattle have been at the top long enough. 2. Calgary, such a dark horse they got bounced early. 3. Chicago! Actually I don't even know who is still in the playoffs. 4. Istanbul! 5. Saskatoon! 6. Bobby Hull, WHA legend.
  19. 1. This season is the appetizer, next season will be the main course. 2. No, not at all. I'd have to know the name of another player in the VHL for that to happen. 3. Probably getting drunk, he is a hockey player after all. 4. Not sure, maybe some sort of weekly game or activity? 5. No idea, my guy was in the VHLE this season, but is now at like 325 TPE so I guess that means he has to go up to the bigs next season? 6. Live forever I guess.
  20. Happy birthday Mr. President
  21. 1. Not sure? The game index bot on discord hasn't been working for a while so I haven't been checking scores. 2. I'm embarrassed to admit that I know almost nothing about real life Stockholm. I'd love to learn more about it though. 3. The speed and intensity, the puck control, and most important the working together with your teammates at a fast pace. 4. I play recreational ice hockey, curling, and softball. I also enjoy video games and homemade pizza. Also a lot of (too much?) drinking. 5. Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future because it's the greatest television program of all time. 6. Morning skate for sure. Wake up, breakfast, head to the rink, grind out a hard practice, shower, then maybe team meeting/coaching session/film review, lunch with the team, then back home for an afternoon nap, back to the rink for snacks and dry land warm-up before suiting up and getting ready for the game.
  22. 1. Right about where I'd expect, putting up 3rd line type numbers. 2. The E seems very competitive. It's early, but the gap between the top and bottom teams is not very big. 3. Yeah, I'm excited to try it out, get a chance to experience a fairly new part of the league, meet some new people. 4. I have the unfortunate fortune of supporting the mighty Canucks of Vancouver. 5. All of the logos are great. I'd say either the Watchmen or the Red Wolves are my favourite. 6. Bo Horvat I guess? Strong two way center, not a bruiser but not shy about physical play, can kill penalties, not the fastest skater.
  23. 1. New Jersey 2. Very likely not. Maybe my kids will want to watch it, but that wouldn't be until it hits a streaming service or I pirate it. 3. Full 6-point PT affiiliation with the PBE 4. Ricer is 5'10", I guarantee it. You, I'm not so sure. 6' on the nose. 5. Too much would be better than not enough I suppose, I don't want to work hard or hustle. 6. Boston's 1976 self-titled debut album. Anyhow who knows me well in real life would have known this would be my answer.
