1. "The button has been clicked. It feels... weird. This will be my final season in the VHL and after being near seconds away from winning the cup... I feel like my work here isn't done. So I hope to go out in a blaze of glory... and hopefully win the cup one day. I won't rest until it happens." 2. "I hope to stay consistent with gaining weekly TPE. Regression from injuries has absolutely taken a toll on my attributes but luckily London has helped me condition myself to perform well and keep me at my best." 3. "Truly, I'm focusing on regaining my TPE into what I previously lost from regression. Keep me at a steady pace for my final season." 4. "The team is a solid contender, we show a lot of heart and that's our fuel for winning. I loved that talented underdog mentality." 5. "We did great in the draft, getting that depth is needed. Hell it can make things interested in the future, I never played a VHL game for the team that drafted me. Ya never know what can happen." 6. "It's not a sandwich because the bun is just one piece of bread. Sandwich should be two pieces of bread, like if something was sandwiched together. It's between two things."

1. "To not reach these levels of disappointment again..." 3. "If there was something to change, probably the logo. Just an update if anything but same colors and unique name." 4. "Gonna head back home and spend time with my husband for the holidays. Get the playoffs off my mind, enjoy the holiday season before going into the next one." 6. "Truly I'm a sucker for the new God of War games, got over 3 digits of hours on that." 7. "Movies, one and done rather than multiple episodes that I could get lost in. I got mosquito-brain here." 8. "Donuts. The perfect non-breakfast breakfast to have."

happy birthday josh!

how did Davos lose

bababooey

1. "Dominant." 2. "When coming back to Davos, I wanted to beat the stats that I put up in my rookie year with them. I managed to DOUBLE the amount of assists I had in this season, I got the same amount of goals too. The most impressive was achieving a total of 1,000 career penalty minutes this season." 3. "As a defenseman... no. I can absolutely confirm defense isn't what wins championships. It's everything. You need everything to be right for a championship. Offense, defense, goaltending, coaching, depth, the list goes on. Defense is one of the big factors but it's not the entire thing. It's like one of the infinity stones, you need it for sure but it won't do the job all by itself." 6. "Besides hockey, I absolutely love baseball. It's perfect when one sport is done, the next one begins so it's an endless cycle for me." 7. "First one... LA by Elliot Smith" 8. "No because the bun is one piece, where the sandwich should have two pieces of bread. To ya know.. SANDWICH THE THING TOGETHER."

chestnuuuuts roasting on an open fiiiiiire

1. "It's the balance of sports, when one team suffers another will succeed. You can say the NA's time has come, more rebuilds and regression likely. Something that can hit the EU too." 2. "I love how the team is doing, I feel like right now we are a well-oiled machine that can't stop and won't stop. No matter what, we feel like an unstoppable force." 3. "I base a lot of my playstyle off of Kronwall, he's the reason I'm a Wings fan and why I play such a physical, painful version of the game. ALSO ALSO I HAVE TO SAY REAL F*CKING QUICK, LAST CONFERENCE I SAID PATTY KANE TO THE WINGS AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! SHOWTIME BABY!" 4. "From my days of franchise mode, it's all about potential. I don't know if I'll be a dad one day but when I have these fictional players that I develop and train and watch them progress.. I'm proud, like I raised them and see them become stars. If I was a GM, I'd aim for the player with the most potential to be a star. Doesn't gotta be a first overall pick or a Mr. Irrelevant, it's gotta be someone that'll be the future of this team." 6. "When in doubt... laugh at the Leafs." 7. "When it's December, it's fair game. Any other time it's a sin against god."

1. It would have to be our two biggest rivals, Riga and Malmo. Also weirdly, two teams I have also played for... 2. "Adrenaline." 4. "There should always be more opportunities, if people put in work they should be rewarded for it somehow." 5. "Isamu stands for brave, something my family actually got right about me. My last name here, Knievel, is in honor of the stuntman I look up to, Evel Knievel. Explains my high adrenaline, intense hits and ruthless aggression." 6. "Anywhere but the Leafs, hell send him to Detroit to help the Wings out some more." 7. "Tekken 8, midnight release. Getting the house padded up so no holes get punched in the drywall."

1. "Discipline. I know it's ironic knowing how frequent I'm in that penalty box but even if I was going to increase my discipline, I'm still getting penalized for anything that happens.. feels useless to me." 2. "The VHL season having 72 games is perfectly okay, I'd be happy with 82 games like the NHL but only if there are more teams to compete against." 4. "You're lucky enough getting a goal out of me being a DEFENSEMAN. ...I'd say at least 2 minimum before the stick completely shatters." 6. "I wear #1 for a few reasons, first I would've taken 69 but I'm positive everyone had that idea already. Mostly, Evel Knievel had used Number 1 as well and it's more of an honor to him to wear it when playing hockey." 7. "That Five Nights at Freddy's movie was f*ckin great, I can't hate on it." 8. "Legit you can put me on a deserted island and if I had one thing to survive on... it's Nacho Cheese Doritos. All day, any day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, they have held me down."

1. "I expect a team of players that all wanna make post-season. Looking all around with the team, everyone is stable and committed to bringing the best hockey we can. We wanna win the cup again, I wanna win it for sure." 2. "My beloved Malmo... it's gonna be awkward on my end." 3. "This year I went as the newest version of Vash the Stampede, definitely one of my best costumes." 4. "The trivia system is alright, I understand the need to have a limit on the amount of questions but 2 feels very small to be honest. Plus not even seeing the answer to the question if you get it wrong can be annoying at times too." 7. "16 wins this season? Sheesh didn't the Ducks have the same last season..?" 8. "I can go on a sugar rush on damn near anything. Jolly Ranchers are absolutely the reason why my teeth are messed up, not hockey."

1. "Currently I'm fighting for my life as I keep getting traded between division rivals. It's a joy being back in Davos though so I'm more so catching up on what I missed out on. Like the cup winning parade..." 4. "If anything this ties in with the second question, I think Leandro can contribute heavily to our team and end up being our scoring leader, I trust his goal count." 5. "MORE FISTS. MOST FIGHTS. MORE LINE BRAWLS. LET EM DUKE IT OUT. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" 6. "I haven't actually, I love the VHL because this feels like a genuine league with a dedicated following. It's not dead, confusing or fully of silly team names. This is what I hope other sim leagues can be like." 7. "Well as this is the only hockey team here to go by "HC" instead of a team name.. lets base it off the logo, maybe a mountain climber?" 8. "I'll be completely honest, I don't read books at all. Maybe an audiobook but even then I'd rather listen to music at that point. Last book was probably when I was in school.. he'll I doubt I read that too."

Count me in!

Great work! It's also ironic to see since I got traded to Riga only to end up on Malmo in the end lmao

Happy Birthday VHL!!

Hello, my name is @jakkysosa and I have now become the VHL Commissioner for a day, how the hell did I get here. Well, while I am in office for my 24 hours... allow me to completely revamp, shake and adjust the entirety of the VHL in this span of time. The main thing that I have in mind for the VHL is to completely change the direction for every single franchise within the VHL, VHLE and VHLM. Instead of having a minor league system, we are instead going to create 1 league for all 30+ teams. Look at the graphics that I have provided here: As you can see, the VHL is currently split between the seas: the VHL in red, VHLE in green and VHLM in blue. With a total of 34 teams across 3 leagues. 18 within North America, 16 within Europe. With 34 teams for 1 singular league now, I will have to even the playing field in order to make things fair across all franchises. Meaning my second rule of action is to expand the VHL. For this example, I will be adding 2 European teams to make it 18 across each continent. The two cities in mind are Chamonix and Budapest. Now with 36 teams, 18 per continent, we need to branch these teams off into divisions for order and stability within the VHL standings. Having 4 divisions with 9 teams each, the North American Conference will receive the East and West divisions, while the European Conference will receive the North and South divisions. After adding the two new cities to the VHL Map and aligning the divisions together, they will look like this: With this new alignment, it will combine teams from the VHL, VHLE and VHLM together into one league. This can bring a rise into new rivalries such as Mississauga and Toronto, give historic franchises like Oslo and Bratislava the recognition they deserve and provide a more intense, cutthroat battle for the VHL Commissioners Cup every single season. Now while all of this sounds simple and fun, there's clearly some holes to patch here. Obviously in our current VHL system, a VHLM team facing off against one like Seattle might seem impossible to win (unless they have a 3-1 lead...) Which can mean for one thing... fantasy draft. Starting Season 90, the VHL will commence with a fantasy draft to determine the new landscape of the league along with new faces to a franchise. This gives every team a top quality player, potential prospects and gives newcomers a chance to play with the main guys, rather than with a bot. Oh yeah bots are no longer a thing too. Playoffs is where the fun can truly begin. 36 teams hunting for 1 championship is hard work, even with 9 teams per division. That being said, having the Top 8 teams in each conference make the playoffs only seem fair (16/36, 44.4%) with a #1-8 format in playoff matches. Giving even more playoff hockey to the VHL and having all rounds begin at the same time. The winner of the North American Conference taking on the winner of the European conference in the championship finals. To recap as VHL commissioner for a day: 1) Expand the VHL with two new European franchises. 2) Mold the VHL into a 36 team league with 4 divisions and 9 teams each. 3) Expand playoffs 4) Remove bots 5) Fantasy Draft Thank you for reading, please leave your feedback, opinions and more down below. I may not become a VHL Commissioner for a day but if there's ever a way to WILDLY change things up within the league... this is how. Word Count: 616

Uhh… go Vasteras? lmao

1. "You need a solid goalie more than anything. There's 12 forwards. 6 defensemen. 1 goalie every night. If our goalie is bad, we'll end up bad. Defense can only do so much to stop the puck and offense can only do so much scoring." 2. "We can't be worried, we need to make other's worried." 3. "I would love to be a part of history like that. I'd probably spend 100 of those minutes in the penalty box though..." 4. "I want to get better for the next season. I want to do good for Riga so I intend on giving it my all. ...and likely doing other dumb sh*t." 5. "Tucker Jr. has always impressed me since being on the team, truthfully." 6. "Despite being traded... nothing but love for Davos."

1. "Well seeing that I'm in new colors... it's been VERY eventful." 2. "Truthfully, I don't know too much of the guy. From what others are saying, he was a spark in the team and luckily he can spark other teams as well. That's the good thing about sports. You find your sparks anywhere, everywhere." 3. "Expectations for me, I never want to lose a game. The Euro conference is a bloodbath and we're surviving in it. Make playoffs, win there. Standings won't matter if we get the cup in the end." 4. "Let's beat their f*cking *ss. Let's show them we're not pushovers. Plain and simple." 5. "I'd say a solid 5. I love me some baseball but since the games don't matter, it's just extra content to enjoy. I can't f*cking wait for the thrill of some regular season." 6. "I've driven many vehicles but god damn I want my hands on an ATV so badly."

Fun Fact, Knievel was drafted by Toronto before being traded to the Dynamo! That surely aged well…
