    Nordin got a reaction from diacope in End of the year (ish)   
    Well it appears I have severely cooled down in my offensive production as of late which is a bit deflating to see but on the bright side we are winning games. I’m just looking forward to the playoffs and see if I can pick it up there. Who knows maybe I’ll go off (I kind of doubt it but you never know). 
    On a bright know though I’m still destroying the opposition in terms of hits and grinding them down. I think the offensive side will come later but for now I’m definitely a useful player to have on the penalty kill which was always a big goal of mine since joining this simulation league. I’m glad I’m living up to the expectations of London and I hope to join them next season. I’ll probably only get 3rd line minutes next year but I’d love to contribute to a team that only really needs a little more depth as they were great all season long until this week (in real life week). I think they have a bright next few years and I want to help them realize Their goal and dream of winning a championship. I mean it’s only a matter of time before they end up winning considering the talent they have right now. And I’m here to help in anyway I can.
     
    Well that’s all I have wish myself, the Los Vegas Aces, and the London United luck on the ends of our seasons. Thanks for reading this!

    1. I like how our team is lending together as a whole right now it feels great and I only hope we can sustain it
     
    2. hot chocolate for sure
     
    3. I mean the trade doesn’t involve me so I’m not sure I care but if I was an involved party I would be upset considering the only thing halting the trade was the league office tbh
     
    4. I mean I’m not sure what gift was the best. But I’ve gotten red wings and lions tickets before and those were awesome: I’d have to think about it
     
    5. in game? I just focus earning on offensive strats in that case but in real life I would just try to keep my spirits up because I’ll get puck luck eventually
     
    6. Definitely both are great but probably winter there is just something to the cool air tbh

    1) I think we have a great shot of improving we have a young team and Spartan always makes some good selections at the draft
    2) I do celebrate Christmas and I’m excited for winter as a whole it’s my favorite season
    3) I don’t mind being a dark horse because it gives us a chance to not have so much pressure to win. But at the same time we have the opportunity to prove people wrong
    4. This is the first I’m hearing of this, what lmao
    5. I like the final moments in Call of Duty World at War when the soviet army and allies finally triumph over the German army. I just love moments in games and moments where an overwhelmingly disadvantaged side prevails against all odds. I also like the movie Independence Day too for the same reason
    6. I’m not sure I am not active in the VHL discord much, there’s so much going on in there that often I find I’m not in the general there much, if at all

    So I’m on a crazy pace for hits this season as I’m already at 89 hits in 25 games which means I’m on pace for 256 hits this year. I also have more points and goals then I did last year which is a great sign of things to come. I have 15 points in 25 games this year. It’s looking like I’ve become a bit of a steal for the London United already. I’m excited to see what I can do at the next level after this year but before that I have to give it my all and help Las Vegas win. So hopefully my goals and hits will help bring home a championship for Las Vegas this season. 
    Funny enough, I was trying to create a 2 way player but it seems I’ve become more of a gritty power forward instead. I’m not sure why that is but I mean if it works, it works. We are winning games and I’m laying people out. Just I might be doing it at bad times sometimes considering I have negative plus minus stat line of -2. I’m the only player on the top line with such a stat line so I hope I can fix it over the coming weeks. I’ll be upping my defense skill set to help improve it. This should also benefit the team if I can be a little more responsible and maybe I can work on staying out of the box as well. 
    Anyway that’s all I have for now so thanks to anyone reading and wish me luck.

    Nordin reacted to JigglyGumballs in S75 LVA Progress Report   
    So here we are again with Las Vegas's progress report for S75! If you guys don't know, this is a huge ass article where I take a look at the entirety of LVA's roster to determine their progress at the start and end of the season. So yeah. Another thing to keep note is that the stats are outdated as the sims came after I recorded the stats since I didn't do this all in one shot for once. Anyways let's get right into it!
     
    C - Its Gucci, TPE: 254 @frescoelmo
    16 GP, 4G, 11A, 15P, 0+/-
     
    So starting off with our new number 1 center Gucci. Last season’s 2nd line C now promoted to top line minutes and has since proven pretty solid in his line. I will be lighter on how many points these guys have and get mostly due to the fact that we have a more defensive team this season. Literally 3 of our top 5 highest TPE players are D. Anyways, Gucci with 15 points in 16 games has proven that he is still really solid and deserving of that no. 1 C position. He could use some better defensive stats though.
     
    D - Matt Thunder, TPE: 254 @Matt thunder
    16GP, 4G, 10A. 14P. +2
     
    Next is LVA’s number 1 defenseman, Matt Thunder. And yes, I’m typing “Thunder” with a capital T. Despite being the highest TPE defenseman, he isn’t the highest TPA defenseman. That role goes to both Linus Zetterstrom and Chase Crosby. A pretty solid build, Thunder is looking to add upon his defensive stats already having 20+ shots blocked this season, he is also likely to have more hits as well. Offensively, with 14 points in 16 games played with a +2 rating, thunder has provided a good amount of support in the back end with 10 assists. He should eclipse his point totals from last season and put up a solid amount of stats in a defense heavy Las Vegas team.
     
    D - Chase Crosby, TPE: 243 @Wreckening
    16GP, 1G, 10A, 11P, -1
     
    Let’s get down to the Chase shall we? (Fucking kill me) You’d think that Chase Crosby would be playing right by Thunder in the first defensive pairing right? Afterall, he is the next highest TPE defenseman. On the contrary, Thunder isn’t even playing top 2 minutes. Crosby’s partner is none other than Las Vegas’s Swedish sensation, Linus Zetterstrom. I’ve talked about how much of a defensive defenseman Chase Crosby was, and to a degree, he’s still held that sort of game, The +/- doesn’t show it, but the shots blocked and hits does. The reason as to why I think Crosby has a minus rating may be because he’s a defensive defenseman playing with a pass first defender. Nevertheless, another player who I can almost guarantee a new career high in points along with capping out by the end of the season, Chase Crosby is another big piece to Las Vegas’s defense.
     
    D - Linus Zetterstrom, TPE: 239 @Ledge_and_Dairy
    16GP, 3G, 7A, 10P, -2
     
    Speaking of Swedish sensation, we got ourselves Z. Not to be confused with @Zetterberg, Linus Zetterstrom is Crosby’s partner in the first pair. A pretty good 3 goals and 10 points in 16 games, Zetterstrom has become a bonafide draft steal. This first gen talent has a pretty good pass first build with a good amount of TPE invested in skating and puck handling. So far he’s been able to represent his pass first build on the scoreboard, but with his current partner being known as a stay at home guy, you could see why he might be a minus player. He’s guaranteed to eclipse his point totals by the time of the trade deadline, even before that if his production keeps going smoothly. A fine pick for Riga indeed.
     
    RW - Artair McCloud, TPE: 230 @Hoopydog
    16GP, 6G, 6A, 12P, 0+/-
     
    Now moving on to another draft steal, we got none other than Artair McCloud. Gucci’s partner on the wing, he’s got a solid 12 points in 16 games. A purely offensive player restricted by the team’s emphasis on defense, McCloud has already beaten his career high of 11 points from last season. McCloud is someone, who given the opportunity to, will be a deadly weapon to any team’s offense with an 85 in scoring. He had a great jump from 3rd line forward to 1st line winger, and has since worked out nicely and produced a solid amount of points. One thing I’ve noticed is that a good chunk of LVA’s players are Riga prospects, and McCloud is another one of them. He will be a great addition to their future.
     
    D - Joakim Lund, TPE: 206 @Bouncyelf
    16GP, 1G, 2A, 3P, +3
     
    Joakim Lund has had an interesting career so far, poised to play his 4th full season in the VHLM. Lund is a strong defensive defenseman who’s hard checking and shot blocking allows him to be very effective on his side of the ice. He doesn’t wow you with offensive stats, but as you can see from his +3 rating, which is the highest +/- in defenseman so far, his value shines on defense. As defenders should. With what he’s looking like this season, he may be regressing in terms of offense but as I will reiterate, his value comes with his defensive game.
     
    RW - Kelly Power, TPE: 204 @Nordin
    16GP, 5G, 5A, 10P, -1
     
    The Irishman sure likes to tussle around. Kelly Power is the enforcing body of the top line, with a whopping 60+ hits along with his 10 points. This guy may be poised to have a 150-200 hit season if he keeps up the pace. He really emphasizes the Power in his name eh? Anyways, one thing to consider is that he doesn’t block a lot of shots and he is the only minus player in this top line. So his hard checking game may actually not be the best in some situations. At least he contributes to the scoreboard to compensate.
     
    RW - Connor Sim, TPE: 192 @SimmerDown99
    16GP, 7G, 10A, 17P, +4
     
    Connor Sim is the one of the only few players in this roster who has more points than games played with a great 17 point performance in 16 games. He’s also the highest +/- player in this roster. What’s even more damning is that he’s playing 2nd line minutes. Maybe there’s some sort of chemistry between him and his linemates, resulting in great offensive production particularly towards Sim. Another person who has broken his career high from last season, this high scoring forward is not only another draft steal, but a decent pickup for Riga as well. Might as well start calling them the Riga Aces.
     
    LW - Angel Wachuire, TPE: 180 @inflastud
    16GP, 9G, 10A, 19P, +3
     
    Angel Wachuire leads this Las Vegas team with a stunning 19 point, 9 goal, 10 assist season so far with a good +3 rating. Wachuire is poised to tie if not break his point totals from last season. My only concern is his activity. His updating has been very inconsistent though a nice reminder will get him to update. Nevertheless, a really solid performance from the player. The 2nd line has been doing something good and I wouldn’t want to change any bit of it if the production keeps up.
     
    D - Breeze Ladrian, TPE: 169 @Kelsier
    16GP, 0G, 8A, 8P, +2
     
    When you have a 169 TPE defenseman playing in the 3rd pairing, you know you got a stacked defense. Despite Easy Breezy’s limited ice time, he still managed to put up 8 points in 16 games. And much like my VHL career, he’s at a 0.5 point per game pace. A pretty good +2 along with nearly 20 shots blocked, Ladrian is a pretty solid pass first defender. Partnered with Florida man Vincent Correll, he provides a solid amount of depth and can contribute really well on the scoreboard for some good secondary scoring. Not much I can say other than it is possible for him to move up next season, and will be a pretty good piece for Moscow.
     
    G - Matthew A Sovick Jr, TPE: 152 @matt sovick
    16GP,  10W, 3L, 3OTL, .887SV%, 2.91GAA
     
    Now let’s put the spotlight on LVA’s starter, Matthew Sovick. His stats are well… pretty good regarding the situation? Well Sovick has shown glimmers of greatness and is likely to stay for next season as well. Acquired from a trade that dealt Vegas’s S75 first in exchange for Sovick and a S76 first, Sovick has provided decently solid numbers. Nothing too crazy. You can tell that he’s definitely getting a lot of help from the team’s defense, but as he improves over time, you could probably see improvement soon enough.
     
    C - Evgeni Shevkov, TPE: 150 @Syzygy
    16GP, 0G, 6A 6P, +2
     
    Rounding out the 2nd line is Evgeni Shevkov. Would you be surprised if I tell you that he was drafted in 73rd overall? Even more so that he was over 100 TPE when he was drafted. The number 1 center of the future, Shevkov’s 6’2, 205lbs frame provides a net front presence which definitely helps his linemates put up the points. His stats won’t wow you now, but his frame definitely helps in terms of providing a good screen against the other team’s goalie. He does need to work on his puck handling a bit more. His faceoffs are good though. 
     
    RW - Andy Nexber, TPE: 138 @Domino Draws
    16GP, 5G, 2A, 7P, +1
     
    Yes we’re playing a 140 TPE player on the 3rd line. I’ve talked about how good our defensive depth is, but you can’t deny how solid LVA’s top 6 is. Nexber with 5 goals, 2 assists, and 7 points has already beaten his 1 point in 72 games last season. His build has TPE applied to stats like penalty shot, faceoffs, and a few more. Some, especially the penalty shot, I really wouldn’t recommend. Nevertheless his puck handling and scoring could be really nice assets in the future as he’s expected to become a top contributor for Vegas next season. The spotlight will shine on you someday Nexber, and hopefully you will shine.
     
    G - Aksu Maronen, TPE: 123 @aksuko
    1GP, 0W, 0L, 0OTL, .933SV%, 2.51GAA
     
    Now let’s take a look at our backup. Finnish goaltender Aksu Maronen. Maronen was never drafted in the VHL, instead Seattle took Maronen up via free agency. And since Maronen was drafted by us, he’s been updating regularly and has been active. His first taste of VHLM experience had him have a pretty good performance with a .933SV% and 2.5GAA. Hopefully he’ll get some more games in and get more chances to show what he’s made of. He and Sovick would be a pretty good tandem if both remain next season.
     
    C - Hex Rose, TPE: 120 @Hex Universe
    16GP, 1G, 3A, 4P, -1
     
    Hex Rose was brought onto the team via waivers and has become an amazing first gen sensation. His high activity and max earning  is very reminiscent of @PatrikLaine early on. His ability to quickly understand how the league works makes him a top candidate for any job he applies for in the future. (Just don’t steal my job pls) Anyways, player wise, he’s not doing too well. 4 points in 16 games with a -1 rating. This sort of production will only improve in the future but for now, it’s mediocre at best. Playing only around 8-10 minutes a game, his limited ice time is probably playing a factor in his point production. Nevertheless, keep up the good work!
     
    D - Vincent Correll, TPE: 102 @correllvincent
    16GP, 0G, 5A, 5P, -2
     
    When our resident Florida man, @NickSunderbruch left Las Vegas to go to Toronto, we saw it fit to draft another one in Vincent Correll. So far he’s rather tame compared to Sunderbruch but he’s been decent being the 6th Dman in this team. 5 assists with 0 goals in 16 games, his limited ice time has played a factor but he’s been pretty fine. Shouldn’t have put that much TPE into discipline though. I have said that Correll gave me Linus Zetterstrom vibes but now that’s kinda died down. I do wish you would be active more in the LR as well as earn a bit more TPE by at least doing the press conferences. Hopefully you can maybe get out of that “Clicker” (people who only do practice and welfare) status soon.
     
    C - Noah Mashford, TPE: 79 @Mashy
    14GP, 2G, 1A, 3P, +3
     
    Starting to round off our bottom 6 here, we got Noah Mashford. With every draft comes a pleasant surprise, and Mashford was that pleasant surprise. I didn’t really think he would be active when we drafted him. Heck we even dropped him from the roster so that we didn’t get a knock from the commissioners. We did use our FA claim to get him back though and now if he becomes a “Clicker+” (welfare + practice, plus other PTs like pressers) he can be a pretty good draft steal for us. In all honesty, anyone drafted 96th overall and is active is a draft steal.
     
    RW - Nathan Askarov, TPE: 66 @NathanM2983
    14GP, 1G, 1A, 2P, -1
     
    Askarov is another waiver signing. He’s been okay with his 4th line production having 2 points in 14 games. My main concern is his build as TPE was applied all over the place, I wouldn’t recommend putting anymore in leadership, faceoffs (for now depending on whether or not you ever play C in your career), penalty shot, and discipline if you plan on having a good amount of checking. Passing and scoring also needs a significant amount of separation from each other. If you have the same amount of passing and scoring, you’ll do neither. Nevertheless I’ll be happy to see where your progress goes from here.
     
    D - Alexis LePrince, TPE: 63 @AnthonyOuellet
    16GP, 1G, 2A, 3P, 0+/-
     
    For a person who was drafted 109th overall, I really don’t know what to say. Earns mostly through affiliate, LePrince has been okay as of now. I didn’t expect much when he was drafted and my expectations haven’t changed since. 3 points in 16 games, our lonely 7th D has been pretty fine as of now. Hopefully we’ll get you your own defensive partner soon. Other than that I really don’t have much to say as of now. Maybe in the future.
     
    RW - Jah Coon, TPE: 62 @denns
    16GP, 2G, 0A, 2P, +1
     
    I personally love Jah Coon’s name. Other than that there’s nothing much I can say for this 4th line winger. What’s nice is that he has a +1 rating and his build does look good. 2 goals and 2 points in 16 games, Jah Coon has been okay as of now. He like LePrince, Askarov, and Garceau are players I will have a better understanding of sorts once we get closer to the end of the season.
     
    C - Fred Garceau, TPE: 60 @Fredoushka8
    14GP, 1G, 1A, 2P, -1
     
    The most recent addition to the team, Fred is another waiver signing. So far he only has his base TPE, and that’s actually sorta concerning me. I have sent you a guide on what you can do to earn TPE, and if you need further help, please reach out to me and Spartan. Hopefully afterwards, you’ll be able to get a promotion soon enough. With 14 games played and only 2 points, he’s been okay. Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid leadership and penalty shot since those aren’t useful stats.
     
    Anyways, that's it for now. thank god I didn't have to do this with juniors players or else I'd be extra fucked. This has been the S75 LVA Progress Report, and hopefully near the end of the season, we'll catch up on your favorite LVA players and how well they've done!

    Goalies
    Instead of providing awards to each team's goalies, since there are normally only two options per team, we are going to highlight one goalie per week who holds the lowest GAA (must play a majority of the team's games). The goalie with the lowest GAA for the week will be awarded the Brick Wall Award
     
    Brick Wall Award - While this player's SV% isn't overly impressive, he has made sure to maintain a relatively low GAA of 2.46. This week's Brick Wall Award winner is Matthew A Sovick jr @matt sovick of the Las Vegas Aces! Congratulations!
     
    League Overall
    As you can see this has been an exciting first week of S75 in the VHLM! The Philadelphia Reapers have made themselves known around the league this week, putting themselves ahead of every team early on. Can they keep this forward momentum going and find themselves raising the Founders Cup at the end? As of right now it is way too early to tell, but we must keep an eye on them.  
     
    We are still waiting for the Ottawa Lynx to have something other that "0" in their W column. With an embarrassing 0-11-0 start to the season we can only imagine that tensions in the locker room is high, while morale is low.

    Nordin got a reaction from Spartan in London   
    Well ever since getting drafted by the London Knights in the 3rd Round, I’ve enjoyed being in their discord. They are a great group of guys and I appreciate their activity and everything. It’s nice to join a team that’s relatively new in the league as I’ll be able to help them build into a contender over the next few years and all. So I can’t wait to see where it all goes.
     
    As for Las Vegas , things are off to a rough start but I think we will turn it around before long as we have plenty of room to grow and all. I’m just so hyped for the rest of the season honestly. I am confident we will be right back where we were last year. And on the brink of hoisting a cup. That’s our goal right now and I’m almost certain we will match those expectations and (hopefully) the team continues down that path for many years to come.
    Anyway, here’s wishing success to both teams that took risks on me being a part of their future for the next few years.
    thank you to Las Vegas and Spartan for taking me in the VHLM draft and thank you to McWolf and The London Knights for taking me in the VHL draft as well
     
    thank you to anyone who took the time to read this and I wish everyone luck on the rest of their season (unless of course it’s against us).

    I got everything I think I wanted honestly when I was drafted by the London United.
    1. I got an active locker room
    Okay this is a big one. I really want to be in locker rooms that are active, but also not spam heavy. London is perfect for that, plus I have the added bonus of knowing a few of the guys from EFL so it’s a huge win. I love it 
     
    2. I got a rebuilding team I can help in the future
    this was huge for me, I really wanted to be able to have a team that’s “bad” now and they can get high picks and rebuild while I’m in the minors and I’ll come up and he’ll bring them back into the fold. Plus I’ll be able to help London win their first ever championship, which is huge for me
     
    3. It’s in a big market
    This wasn’t at the top of my list of importance but it helped for immersion since this would be a huge want for players, due to jersey sales and exposure.
     
    4 (Bonus). It’s near my player’s home nation
    Bad news is that the British and Irish are rivals haha. But I’ll mend the divide ?? 
     
    Hey thanks to London taking me, I’m excited to put on that uniform and suit up. Should be a great next decade together ?

    Nordin got a reaction from diacope in Teams are interested   
    With the draft so close I have gotten interest from several teams and I could be going to any of them. Some teams have seemed more interested then others in my talents but I don’t doubt I’ll go to a team that could really use me down the road. 
     
    It’s crazy how fast this season went and how close I am to the VHL now it only seemed like a week ago where Spartan and the Los Vegas Aces took me late in the VHLM draft last year. And I hope I can be a top contributor on their team next year and someone to fill out that 1st or 2nd penalty kill unit. As I’m sure that we won’t have a lot of guys to fill out those units for forwards since most guys are offensively oriented. I, however, want to be effective for both sides of the ice. Even if that means I don’t lead the team in points as a result. That would be well worth it honestly since having guys on defense is just as important if I’m being completely honest.
    anyway thanks to anyone who gave this a read and wish me luck going forward
