Yeah so retiring MacInnis. Lost interest in the player.
 
Will be recreating.

Wooo lets fuck this shit up

Merica and McJustice would of been a lethal dose of freedom and liberty...*sigh*..

Sandro:
- I have nothing against rappers who actually sing about worthwhile content that contributes to society or has positive meaning. The same goes for every genre of music, as well as movies, this isn't just a rap thing, however rap music is the main and most popular source for such content, so it gets to be the beaten dead horse. Don't just waltz into the conversation and act like you are high and mighty and I am an ignorant fuck. They can rhyme about rape, necrophilia and murder all they want, they have the right and it's something as an American that I've defended and will continue to do so,  but I won't personally agree with it and I won't support it, because it negatively affects people and is hurting our culture and society, there is nothing positive about Em saying he is going to rape Iggy, and that is tame for him anyway, and if you can't see that than you are the immature child.

- Classic, pulling the race card as soon as your losing an argument, unfortunately for you  I don't give two shits about what race you belong too, we are accountable for our own actions, your skin color doesn't give you a free pass. I am not racist, I have nothing against black people, or any minority for that matter. The fact that most of the rap/hip-hop music in discussion today is sung by minorities speaks to a cultural problem, it isn't me being racist.

Lol how am I racist? because I don't like rap? So basically, what's happening here, is because I don't think rhyming about sexual abuse, murder, rape, domestic violence, etc,  is art, or agree with you, I am in the wrong? So because my opinion isn't the popular one, that automatically makes me incorrect? You are welcome to think rap and the shit they sing about is art, but I, however, do not.
 
Also, as far as Cosby, I hope justice is served and they find out the truth. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was guilty, or if their all a bunch of liars, people are capable of terrible things.Nothing surprises me in this world anymore.

Into The Wild
Recently acquired forward Max MacInnis will be thrust into the midst of the VHLM playoffs.

 
 
Max MacInnis’ name is only a week old in the VHLM, and he has yet to play a single game, but the spotlight is nonetheless swaying over him as he prepares to get his first taste of the VHLM…In the form of the playoffs. The ruthless American winger was quickly picked up off of waivers, despite his lack of experience, by the #1 seeded Saskatoon Wild, who are currently waiting for the first round of the playoffs to finish before they meet their first opponent. In the meantime, they are getting MacInnis spun up and hoping he can live up to his reputation.
 
MacInnis will most likely see limited minutes, used to provide rest for the team’s workhorses, but based off of what we know about Max so far, he will attack his role with a vengeance and seek to earn more playing time. It won’t be easy, he has two major things going against him: He’s a new guy on a team that has already meshed together in-route to a 57-10-5 record, and he’s a rookie.  So Max has his work cut out for him to become “one of the guys”.  Everyone has heard of the stories and legends of hazing, and while there has been no official reports of Saskatoon that such behavior exists, we would have to be incredibly ignorant to believe “new guys” get treated the same, it’s just not how the world of professional sports works.  The only caveat to that would be since it’s the playoffs, they are focusing more on winning a championship.
 
We were unable to get a hold of Max during the last three days, as he refused to answer any questions while he focused on getting sped up on the Wild’s tactics and techniques, but after today’s practice we caught him leaving the arena and asked him how things were going in the dawn of his era in the VHLM and Saskatoon. ”It’s going  well, the guys here are great and have really been pro-active in teaching me their plays and how things work in Saskatoon. I know I won’t get much ice-time, this team has been through thick and thin together and they don’t even know me, but I know that if given the chance, I won’t disappoint; I have the skill and talent to make a difference…and I’ve already got a playoff beard.”
 
MacInnis is joining a squad which has three players that eclipsed the 100 point mark this season, namely Jarome Iginla who poured in 120. So it won’t be as if he’s coming in and expected to produce, he’ll be, as I mentioned earlier, mostly used to eat up minutes for players like Iginla to take a breather.  But if the opportunity does arise to snap a shot on net, MacInnis says he will be ready: ”I’ve been putting a lot of work into my shooting, so that if they do call upon me, or someone goes down, or I get a chance to unload a shot, I can put it in the net and do my part. Bottom line is I’m going to do everything I can help to these guys win the championship.”
 
A major question for any player stepping up to a new level of hockey is whether he is conditioned for the increase in speed and strength that he will face, and coming into the league for the playoffs? Well, that holds extra true. “Mad Max” seemed pretty confident he was ready: ”Conditioning wise I feel great, the OHL wasn’t a kids game and while these guys are definitely a step above, I don’t think I am behind them when it comes to my endurance.  I understand the questions and concerns, but I’ll be just fine, I’m winner, and winners find ways to achieve their goals.”
 
He left after that, stating he had to “go drink a protein shake”.  The potential is high for MacInnis, and when he steps on the ice, even if it’s in a limited role, people will be watching.  This will be a great opportunity for MacInnis to get a head start on the upcoming VHLM draft, giving scouts a taste of what he can do at this level, and knowing him, I doubt he will waste it.

Looking forward to seeing Tom Hardy take on the role.

MAD MAX: Behind The Name

 
 
The VHL has long been known for their superstar players, the kind that captivate the masses and have drawn NHL fans into their grasp; these kinds of players are rare, because not everyone has the personality or desire for the attention…Or the drive to work hard enough to get there. Talent alone won’t get you to this kind of level. It’s always hard to truly predict how a prospect will fair, because there are so many variables you can’t account for, such as injuries, off-the-ice decisions and whether they truly have what it takes to achieve greatness. Many players come and go, some projected as top players, others not so much, but their stories seem to be the same in the end: They weren’t cut out for the show.
 
Enter 20-year old American winger Max MacInnis, or as his teammates have dubbed him “Mad Max”. Like so many before him, he comes in with a load of hype and excitement. So I’m sure you are asking yourself, “What makes him different?”, well the answer to that lies within his nickname. MacInnis was selected #1 overall in the Ontario Hockey League draft by the Kitchener Rangers, and quickly made a name for himself with his aggressiveness and competitive nature in route to 150 points in 68 games.
 
The idea that “Americans are only happy with first place” is not just an idea, it is the truth for the vast majority. For Americans, anything short of winning, whether it’s on the world stage or local, is unacceptable, it’s drilled into them from a young age. You’ve watched the Olympics, and if you are an American, you’ve felt the deep disappointment in not finishing first, it hurts deep down inside of you, because we all believe we are the best, at everything…even when we lose. Max MacInnis embodies this philosophy, this mindset, and it drives him to succeed.
 
MacInnis is the kind of individual who wants to win at everything. As one of his ex-teammates from Kitchener put it, ”He’s crazy. We could be taking a s**t and he’ll make it a competition, if it’s something he’s confident he can beat you at it, he’ll call you out. He lives to be #1, he’s like a lion establishing his dominance over a territory…It’s great on the ice, because when I say he gives 110%, he really does…but dear lord, it gets aggravating off it, literally everything is a competition to him.” When it comes to his nickname, the teammate went on to explain how it came about ”Well, aside from what I just mentioned, he’s like an unending ball of energy, he attacks everything with this animal like aggressiveness. He ran the workout program at Kitchener, because when he showed up, he was so far ahead of everyone else physically that the trainers wanted to know how he trained. We all hated him as soon as they implanted his plan, so brutal…So we started calling him “Mad Max” due to his aggressiveness and hardcore approach to everything.”
 

MacInnis swept the awards, including the OHL’s MVP trophy.
 
As stated before, MacInnis totaled 150 points in his 68 games during his sole season with Kitchener, 82 goals and 68 assists respectively. While he is more of an offensive player, “Mad Max” doesn’t shy from confrontation, his competitive nature has gotten the best of him on several occasions, leading to a few fights that probably would have been considered unnecessary. But he holds his own, his 6-3, 185lb frame is rock solid and MacInnis is very difficult to knock off the puck.  His offensive prowess was key in leading Kitchener to a championship, helping them go from worst to first in one season. MacInnis is the kind person who pushes those around him to reach their goals and turn potential into reality, it’s a trait that doesn’t go unnoticed and is rare to find.
 
How Max MacInnis will fair amongst the VHL’s elite is far from determined, and before he ever gets the opportunity he will have to work his way up through the VHLM, which has been proven to weed out those not cut out for the VHL. One thing is certain, MacInnis will be captivating, whether in success or failure, and is a player you will want to watch as he rises up the ranks. When we asked him what his goals were going into the VHL, he said the following, which is what we will end this piece on: "To be the best. Any goal short of becoming the greatest is just cheating yourself out of becoming everything you can be...being satisfied is a career killer.  I'm gonna focus on making my mark in the VHLM and proving to everyone I'm here to stay."
