Wait, the draft is on Monday!? I need to do some serious grinding.

Here's to trump choking on Lady G's dick
 

 

1. I think Gary Rush with the blast to make the series tied, that was amazing.
2. Miami won games 1 and 2 so, they have a pretty good lead over 'auga.
3. I was pretty ok to me in my perspective and you two are very good at doing your job. Jiggs, you need to stay so the news guys who get drafted to Vegas can know your amazing work for the team! Spartan too!
4. Vegas then Riga, I actually am on Riga's list of draft picks they need so that'll be interesting. But the chances are 0.001 %.
5. Near 25th of December. I don't celebrate any parties except for New Year (obviously), and my sister's birthday.
6. My first ever post in there, I forgot what it was, but I can tell it was recent (1 maybe 2 months)
 
Thanks for the press conference Jiggs!

So let's get into it!
 
Guy Leiseur -> 
No context needed, this is a new team, Therefore this is 1 of their first signings in history! If i got drafted to this team...
Leiseur will probably be part of Dragons history! Congrats to Guy to being signed and congrats to DC for signing this person and make this Topic happen! Round of applause for DC.
Final Ranking: 9.7/10
 
I CANNOT REMEMBER THE OTHER GUY'S NAME,
ALL I KNOW IS THAT HE WENT TO CALGARY. ANOTHER SIGNING BY @Jubis TO GET MOST SIGNINGS OF DOMINOS SIDE EVER!
 
 

Alex was born in the Czech Republic in a small town called Znojmo. Alex has been in love with this game since he was very young. Alex started playing hockey at the age of three. Since he was a child, he tried to be a good defender, he is able to release his soul for it, he is also very friendly. Now there is a new challenge in front of him, hoping that someone will choose her in the draft and he will fight for a place in the team. His dream is to get into the national team.

Breaking news coming out of Las Vegas today as goaltender Drew Minott has announced his plan to leave the VHLM behind,  and join the ranks of the L.A. Stars, at the end of this postseason. Minott confirmed this in an interview (transcribed below) following Vegas's final game of the regular season. Here are Minott's words on the ordeal:
 
"Hey Minner, Markus Bucyk from the Vegas Harald. I was wondering if you could give us your plans for the offseason?"
 
"Sure things Bucky, good to have you back after you broke your leg. I actually have something pretty big I would like to announce. I have spoken with GM Josh of the LA Stars, and after some consideration I have decided to make the jump to the VHL after this playoff run." 
 
*Que chaos breaking out from various reporters breaking off from other players to join the Minott pile-on*
 
"Hey hey hey, calm down. One at a time everyone! You, over there, with the makeshift boom-mic."
 
"Hi Drew, Vanessa Kimbell from the Toronto Times, I was wondering that spurred on your decision to finally make the jump?"
 
"For sure, I just feel like I am ready to make the jump. I ain't getting any younger, and I want to play on the best stage in the world and show that so many people putting their faith in me wasn't a mistake. I have time for one more question."
 
"Hi Mr. Minott, Terrence Paul from the Los Angeles Post. How do you see yourself fitting in to the Los Angeles roster and locker room?"
 
"Yeah, that's where I have to dock myself some points. I definitely am not going to jump and immediately take the starting role. Even suggesting that would be disrespectful to Doug Dimmadome, the current starter up in LA. I feel like I'm going to be getting my toes wet for a season or two, getting some games under my belt and hopefully showing that me being there isn't a mistake. As for how I see myself fitting into the locker room, I feel like I'm going to fit in nicely. I know we aren't going to be the best team around, but I have always found that being in a bad situation helps you know exactly where you need to work on yourself. I feel excited to be coming up to LA. Thanks guy, but I have to head out now."
 
 Once the news had reached the Los Angeles locker room, one player who knows Minner well had a statement to give. After spending the latter half of S72 together on the Houston Bulls, here is Jiggly Gumballs: 
 
"Hello Jiggs, Jordan Hunter from the Los Angeles Times, after the recent announcement from your ex and future teammate, Drew Minott, coming up to play with the Stars in the VHL next season, what are your thoughts on how Minner will fit in with the team?" 
 
"To me, with how good Doug Dimmadome has been as the new starter for LA. I think Minner can come in and sorta compete for that starting position. I see him and Dimmadome being a great tandem of sorts. Splitting games up between the two and acting as a one-two punch in terms of goaltending. It's honestly just great to see me and Minner reunite as teammates soon."
 
 
If we receive any more updates on the Minott situation, we will update this thread. 
 
(Special thanks to @JigglyGumballsfor sending me a quote to use!)
 

I love you guys, thank you to everyone in Vegas for giving me an amazing experience. I'm gonna make y'all proud.

Alright, so uh, I wasn't sure if I'd write this or not. Stuff like this seems overly sappy at times, or excessive. But I try to write recaps after seasons and with some folks leaving the LR to pursue their careers, I figured I'd write a little bit here just to be able to contact everyone I want to. Anyways, getting to it.
 
Well fuck lol, I don't know how to start this. I guess I'll start with the captain, @Crstats23. This young lad was a 4th round pick in S73 and was an instant selection for an alternate captain. Few young players come in active and willing to chat with a new team. Chris has exploded onto the scene as a leader by example, and his player is absolutely lethal. He doubled his points from his first full season to his second full season, and has been one of the core pieces of Vegas.
 
I guess the natural transition is across the line to the other wing, @G_Rush. G's been on Vegas just as long as I have, as we were both drafted together. It's a bittersweet ending, but almost full circle. We both were on contending juggernauts together in S72, and came up just short. I'm sorry that I couldn't get you the ring this time buddy. But he's been absolutely lights out on the wing, and Calgary has got a good one. I'm so grateful that you chose to stay down with us for another season, as this season arguably wouldn't have been possible without you.
 
If we're on wingers, we're sliding over to the Florida Man himself, @NickSunderbruch the living goon. Fuck man, your time on Vegas wasn't long enough. You're absolutely wild, and in the best way possible. Every time you were in the LR, I needed to be in there. When we'd get absolutely reamed, you were ready for the next one. Had to be the best, and didn't settle for less. You inspire me man. I wish Toronto didn't trade up for you, but I'll always hope we can play together someday. Go be the VHL's Gretzky.
 
Next up, gotta go with @Rhynex Entertainment. I traded for Rhynex from 'Sauga hoping that we had an answer at center. You did a bit of welfare and practice facility, but I really didn't know what to expect from you. Man, it's been the storyline growth for you. A welfare player who comes in, is willing to learn, and goes the extra mile to cap every week and be amazing. Despite your claims of struggling, you're just as big a piece as the others I've mentioned in our success. Assist leader this past season, which is no small feat. I won that distinction a few years ago, so you're on the right path to success.
 
@ZP16 man, you brought some veteran savvy into our team. I had never spoken to you before the draft, but when I saw that you had recreated and from our experience together in Town of Salem, I just had a feeling that I needed to draft you. It paid of in spades, as you quickly became our top defenseman and quietly became the defensive anchor of the team, while also being a huge source of offense from the back end. Your leadership and wisdom has been much appreciated.
 
@DreMin15 our fuckin' goalie. I'm still in shock that I was able to land a goalie of your caliber, and you were huge for us this season. The stats weren't super gaudy, but you got the job done and carried us through to Game 7 of the semi's. Despite all the shit going on in your life, you found time to update and be a part of the team. I'm wishing for the best for you buddy, and I know you'll be a star.
 
That's all in terms of the draftees we're losing, so I'll flip it over to the waivers. @inflastud, @DangerGolding, @Jonessee27 and@Caboose30, thank you for stepping in and buying into the program we run here. I know all four of you will be picked relatively high in this upcoming draft, and I can only hope that Jiggs and I have set you up for success at the next level. Stud, I have no clue how you went undrafted, but man did you bring a big boost to our squad. I'm glad you came home buddy. And a huge thank you to Turner, Boose, and DG for picking Vegas as the place to be. Y'all stepped up big when it mattered, and provided invaluable depth. 
 
For everyone else on Vegas, and those of you who will be here next season, thank you for a fantastic season with us. @Hoopydog, @Nordin, @Domino Draws, @SimmerDown99, @frescoelmo , @Wreckening, @Bouncyelf, @Matt thunder, @Kelsier, this is your team now. You all didn't have very large roles this past season, but that changes now. You have huge shoes to fill, and you've seen first hand what the work ethic is like to be the best. We're going to bounce back from this loss, and we need all of you to do it. Let's get rolling into next season, the grind starts now!
 
To our graduates and departures, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. To our returners: the hangover ends now!

HOLY SHIT

WOOOOO

HYPE
 

Hey @PatrikLaine, Maybe you can add Gooningitup's Askarov in it. Drew Minnot and Trent Gibson are already in it so I guess this Askarov guy could be added too?

So Yesterday and today there have been three signings.
Griff Manser -> ?
General Zod -> ?
Bacon -> ?
 
So today I'm going to tell you all 3 signings
 
So 1.
Griff Manser @Garsh -> 
I saw Manser and @Beaviss's reaction and thought "Hey they just vibin' and celebrating" but I never really got to look at it deeper so this is a fairly good signing.
Final Ranking: 8/10
 
And Numbero 2
General Zod -> 
So this is a biased part because, since I am from Calgary, Alberta so this is a +1 in the rankings.
I've never seen this guy play, like by that mean I've looked at all the teams' rosters and I never saw this man in a roster, so maybe he's a UFA. And I think that's the reasonable explanation.
 Also @Jubis was hella excited to him to play in Calgary. Maybe I'll look into that further but it's one that I'm putting aside for now.
Final Ranking: 6/10 (+1 included)
 
Finally, Numbero 3!
Bacon -> 
This case is the same sort of case with General Zod, minus the +1 for bias.
So pretty much 6-1 and there's your answer for the ranking.
But if you're lazy, here you go.
Final Ranking: 5/10
 
 
So there's  my side on the signings of today and yesterday.
Bye!
holy crap it's like 11:00 in calgary
1 like = 1 quick, energetic domino

This was way more writing than I ever did. I feel like a GM. Or an AGM. It depends.

First the Lakers
Then the Dodgers
Now the Stars....

LA can't stop getting Ws

If you were traded in the VHL, what would be the reason?

Damn, that's... wow.
