that's what I meant with the second sentence

Watch me putting more TPE into reaction time and him going beast mode in playoffs ...or he can suck in VHLM and be a beast for Riga, I will take it as well.

You're now considered as the TOP 5 draftee. Could you see your player going first OV? Weren't you named the AGM of Ottawa? If so, why don't you have perms to VHLM GM forum? Is Kallis trash? Do you have a rival? Do you speak french?

...in before you're indeed going inactive cause of this tactic

Gonna be hard to do that with the current TPE earning rate. might be over 200 TPE before the next season.

5 TPE goes to Randoms

*a minor league goalie* It appears that we will likely wait for the VHLM Mag longer than we thought. They're currently searching for more writers to get the second edition done. Kinda funny, but this thread will be VHLM related. I even had thoughts to apply for being a mag writer, but can't see myself writing about the minor league each week. But hey, you will get the VHLM article here at least. So let's start it. I believe it's @Beaviss said that the VHLM season is more fun than the big league. Seems kinda obvious since the recruitment crew brought a lot of first gens and some of them are literally starving for cementing their legacy on this league since day 1. That means there is a chance for a rivlary. And one of them is deserving my attention since it affects my goalie, Kallis Kriketers. I actually can join this rivalry for real, but at this moment, it's mainly about these two players: Alexander Pepper vs Cole Mertz [HALIFAX LOGO HAS YET TO BE MADE WTF] I think these two squared off against each other since the start of the season. They already posted a couple of articles which contained some jabs against each other. Why I'm not vocal about this thing? Well, it's kinda odd to join the rivalry of two first gen goalies. And second of all, Kallis already has a VHL team, these two will be drafted later and it will be interesting which goalie is going first. By the way, not only this tense affects Kriketers. It also makes a huge impact of the Benoit Deveroux Trophy. For someone who doesn't know what is this - the best VHLM goalie award. So looks like all three goalie will fight for this prize: Tyler Smith is too quiet and is having worse stats than his teammate - colleague Cole Mertz. Weekes, Stoffiday and YoungBlood are playing in bottom three teams and their stats are taking a hit because of this. But is it that obvious? Is this a three way fight? My last question isn't coming out of nowhere. Probably some of us already know about this fact, but Cole Mertz only played 23 games so far. The other half was taken by Tyler Smith. Yes, he's having worse stats, but the member isn't inactive so the Halifax GM @ShawnGlade is giving a chance to both goalies to shine. But this also hurts Cole's chances on Deveroux trophy. Can we consider him as a real contender for this prize with probably ~40 games played even if his stats are superior to Pepper and Kallis'? After all, this season hasn't ended yet and these stats could change. But even if his stats will be better than his rivals by the end of the season? Could the number of games put a stophammer to a Halifax goalie? A bit hard to imagine that a goalie can win an award with only 40 something games played (and this number could be even lower if Shawn will continue to give both goalies an equal ammount of games started). Right now, the maximum number for Cole is 49 games, but I doubt he will play all remaining games. So at this point it's more like Pepper vs Kallis for the top goalie award to be honest. Cole also could join in this conversartion, but this more depends on Shawn now... @ColeMrtz21 @Sonnet get in here. That's it and I'm out. 6 TPE to Kallis.

that's not odd tbh

Not gonna get past Kallis though.

imagine

That was already covered by some hockey scouts (also by rookie profile which was made by myself), but Kallis Kriketers is indeed an odd case. Just a normal guy; playing hockey just for fun; just watching it with friends with a beer can in hands. This is what was happening with him before he was found by @hedgehog337 agency and Benjamin Zeptenbergs. It's safe to say he is not that normal guy that used to be anymore. Now he's one of the biggest hopes of Riga - it's not a secret that this is an important position so he came just right in time. Now let's cover his life a bit. *In red - his hometown; In blue - where is he going to play soon* Kallis Kriketers was born in a small place in Latgale region named Dagda. It has yet to be found his real age although he says he is 21 now. We couldn't find his birth info as this is being hidden by his parents and Kallis himself for some unknown reason. But according to him, he was born in Autumn. It's your choice to believe him or not. Anyways, back to his life. Well, there's nothing much to write about as his first years weren't filled with memorable moments. As we mentioned earlier, he was just a normal guy...normal child. We do know his first dream though - he wanted to become a fireman. Obviously, these were just child dreams, but this is not the last time the fireman career option will show up in his life. 7 years old. He just became a schoolboy. Finally his parents started to think about his future. The sport also was the thing they were considering, but it wasn't easy to start that. After all, Dagda was too small for big things. And since Kallis already became a first grader his parent thoughts about sport ended up immediately. Like, football in some yard? Ok. Playing basketball in some yard? Ok. Hockey? This sport actually still isn't very popular in a Latgale region so we can already figure it out what parents were thinking about this sport back then. So instead of puzzling over it they just decided to refresh their memory about his child dreams. That's the part when the fireman career started to become a reality. They knew it still was too early to give a child Kallis a direction, but they promised to themselves he's going to know about that when he grows up a bit. He's 13. He already knows about his child dream...and he actually didn't give a shit about it. After all, he was a teenager and he wasn't bothered by these kind of things. What about sports? Well, playing football in some yard? Ok. Playing basketball in some yard? Ok. Hockey? You already know the answer. But other than that, still nothing very memorable. Perhaps he had these moments, but for some reasons he's hiding them...any but one. Anyways, we do know this is the period when he started to do teenager things. And you know what, he's still acts like a teenager sometimes. All these tamper tantrums, idgaf attitude and other teeny behaviours were part of his life. So what's about his only known memorable moment? It happened when he actually was 13. Not only he was just a normal guy, he also was a ...normal teenager. Like a lot of his peers he tended to do some bad things because it's ''cool'' for them. In his case, he joined a bad company. He never was a hell of a smoker or drinker and he never took drugs either. Anyways, he was one of these lil' hooligans who stole things just to impress his buddies. It's even more impressive he never was caught by police. He never was a super fast guy, but he was too agile for them. Little he knew his awesome agility will be needed in his life. But what he knew really good is he would have no hockey career; or no life either, had he moved 3-5 centimeters left to catch a bullet with his head. ''It was just another night with my buddies. We got a bit drunk and we've decided to go to Taller [a club in Daugavpils, the city where this incident took place]. Of course we didn't gave a single bollocks we weren't even 18 to enter the club. We just went there for messing up things. And we did just that - the security was fuming when we were screwing up their jobs. However, this wasn't the most interesting moment of that night. Some big bullies saw this and decided to boost their ego by making fun of us. But because we were fearless (and idiots) we didn't run away but started to acting tough in front of these dudes. One of them was so triggered he decided to pull something out of his pocket. We thought this is gonna be a knife. Instead, he just pulled a pistol and started to make threats. Well, little I knew one of us also had a pistol! Of course he didn't back up and continued to ''act like a G''. So I guess I don't need to tell you what happened next - these two were too psychos to stop. The crowd in the club and everybody else were screaming in panic and tried to hide out of bullets. Unfortunately, one of them couldn't escape in time and got shot. I also remember how one of shots almost catched me. I don't know how, but I got lucky. I literally felt how this little piece of metal flew near of me. That was scary as hell. Fast forward, these two were arrested and I believe they are still sitting in jail although the guy from our company was 17 when that shooting happened.'' Needless to say, this thiller worthy incident put and end to Kallis the lil hooligan. His parents have decided to finally raise their child properly and he never joined another bad company again. 17 years. His life came back to normal after that mass shooting thing, but his future was still under question. He still had a fireman job as an option, but he didn't felt this is the best thing he could do in his life. Nothing else came up on his and his parents mind and it looked like the future Riga goalie was about to become yet another loader or cashier...until he met non other than Fredinamijs Krīgars who was visiting his aunt in Dagda (it was an off-season in VHL). Kallis was hearing about this player all the time, but he never was really into hockey to be a fan of him. Anyways, he decided to participate in a hockey game which was happening in Daugavpils. It was made by Freddy himself for fun and also he was lowkey searching for some talents from Latgale region. There were no much players in this event since it never was hyped enough so Krik didn't have problems to make the roster. There were problems, however with choosing a position. He felt he could do better as a forward, but he wasn't the only one with the same thoughts. At the end, he was put in the net... ......and this story pretty much ends here. The rest was a history. Freddy was so impressed with Kallis that the first thing he did after he came back to Riga was telling about this talent to his GM Zeptenbergs and to head of the @hedgehog337 agency. And of course these both could've just ignored his words, but all of this happened when Krīgars was in his peak and it wasn't easy to impress him. So Benjamin decided to call to Kriketers' family and invite a boy to Hedge agency office. Obviosly, he accepted that invite. It definitely was better than just taking a mid or low tier job. But if you think his comeup was fast - WRONG. He actually spent four more years in Latvia playing in some region or higher-tier games before going really becoming the Riga property. The VHL scouts and us were mentioning that he was just playing hockey and in one day became the Reign's goaltending future - WE LIED TO YOU. Benjamin basically was holding him with an option to finally sign him in case if his team's goalie future is going to be bleak. And that day happened when Zep realized Aamo didn't pan out like he wanted. @Doomsday did it 21 years old. Kallis Kriketers, the Ottawa Lynx goalie and the future goalie of the Riga Reign team. Enough said.

Randoms gets 5

VS VS *The VHL Magazine crew didn't love Seattle like that* What we still remember from the S57-60 period? Well, maybe something like: * S57 draft with the fresh blood which saved VHL from being stagnant; * @boubabi still was there; * Helsinki was still a villain team; * Yet another back to back. This time from Riga; * @Banackock finally wins a championship; * @DollarAndADream still is mad at Ironside the goalie. I didn't name the last three events for nothing. The S57-60 period still contained Helsinki vs all clash, but there was another rivalry that was less tense. It had and I think it still has a potential to become a real rivalry if players and GM's will try, but we shall see. Anyways, the rivalry I'm talking about is: VS VS The current peak of this rivalry was definitely S58 when all three teams were too much for other opponents. They went neck to neck in regular season. Riga could snatch the regular season title and then beat NY in 5 games to advance into the finals. Seattle and Toronto faced in a thirlling 7-game series which ended up with the Bears winning an away game to face in Riga in finals. The Reign could beat Seattle in 6 and complete back to back. In S59, 'Cock managed got a revenge when his team won Riga in the wildcard round. The second game when they swept their rival 5-0 despite being outshot by 15 was a turning point of the season as they would not only win in the wildcard, but the whole playoffs. They beat Toronto in 6 games and then Helsinki in 7 to become champs. After that, it was pretty much over. Riga was trying to play spoilers in S60, but couldn't even make the playoffs while Seattle once again was in contention, just lose to HEL in 5 in semis. But why am I talking about this and why I do think this could be a rivalry in next 2-4 seasons? The reasons are listed below: 1. Bratislava connection between me an Bana; 2. My player Guntis Petenis was playing in Seattle and I tend to belive his shitty build was a part of the Bears' fail in S52-53. Especially when he turned into an award winning defenceman when I changed his build; 3. Me and Dollar became GM's around the same time; 4. Guntis Petenis was also playing in Toronto. Of course, the team didn't win. It had nothing to do with Gunča's build though; 5. S58-59; 6. This trade between Seattle and Toronto which ended up as a disaster for the latter. Not only SEA still could beat the Legion in S59, that first round pick ended up as lotto and was very valuable; 7. Leph Twinger is playing for Riga. You can see there are multiple reasons why these teams could and maybe should make a rivalry to make things more tense and fun at the same time. So we're now in S62. All three teams are rebuilding and looks like all of them could be in contention period around the same time again. We also can see these teams are trying different tactics to escape this period ASAP. Riga is more crowded and more first-gens than in other two; Seattle is playing safe with having both GM players there, both commishes and a loyal depth player in Laflamme; Toronto will likely try to win it all with a stacked defence. VHL league better prepare for this. That's it and I'm out. 6 TPE goes to Kallis.

Kallis a goalie

I do hope Kallis is a starter.

disgusting game.

three teams eh? It's hard to make a choice, but I don't even have to lol. random says he gotta play with Krikeshiters hehe so I'm accepting this offer.

The Riga Reign management likes this trade.
