Tui Sova defence @Anthique

This past free agency has to be one of the most stacked in recent memory. The perfect combo of teams having cap problems (even with the 2M raise), or them simply going to rebuild...or in case of one particular team, doing absolutely nothing. This all teamed up in one to make this pretty interesting offseason. Now that only one big free agent left and I'm fairly sure he's going to London, it's time to make some conclusions. Frank is about to lead Wolves to another three final losses.... khe khem. back to playoffs! Vancouver appeared as the team who benefited the most from this chaotic offseason. At first, I wasn't sure if there was a chance to make something happen once he asked me about Cheese and Leduc. Then after seeing this FA class I realized it's way easier than it could've been. Trades for these both as well as for Miklavz and Powers rights plus bringing another defenceman in Power[s] made this team look way more different that it was season ago. It was only a matter of time when a big time FA would be enticed enough of Frank's vision. Didn't have to wait for too long either. Spartan did see a potential in this idea so the Vancouver became the next destination for Nico Pearce. Looks like we may have an easy 1 TPE from predicting the Knight award winner this season? Cap dump takers with the first round picks?? Please???? Bana has mastered this tactic a tons of time ago and so far it was one of the reasons why Seattle managed to stay competitive as long as they have now. However, there is a feeling that last series of cap dump trades with NY really put most of GM's off. And now they may be too cautious when trading with the 7 time champ. LA did some favors, but the Bears had to lose the younger player in the process which is certainly not ideal. Moreso, they are still stuck with 4/4 roster which is at 42(!)M cap. I think Bana had a hope that Rayz could come back and try to save Helsinki offseason, but so far this hope is fading away as is the ex Seattle's savior activity. So now who and will anyone try to take some players from them or they will have to run with this roster which honestly screams wildcard at best to me? Stay tuned I guess.... Titanic Oh boiiiiii.....I think this fiasco will end up in VHL history books. This was really one of the most spectacular falloff in the history of the league. And it's not like they didn't have a potential left after the game 7 loss to the eventual champs. But something did happen with the head chef of the Titans. Did Rayz get totally burnt out? Was/is he on some vacation? Here's a hope we will find out once he comes in, but for now this team is in huge shambolics. I figured it out that Spartan or Fong may think about testing FA. But Nano? Dvorak? Neither signing any other FA's? Not even mid lever players....oh wait, most of them were taken already by some hedge idk who that is. Now all that's left from this team is bare bones that consists of Boobery, Florida Man, Nesbitt, and Voss. Plus rookie Burns added into the this mix. Now all we can do is stay tuned and witness the conclusion of this saga. Whole conference is contending?? For the first time in the 16 team VHL history we are witnessing the tank-less conference. Well, I'm not exactly sure about LA as their offense is not loaded at all outside of Miglasķēms so they may look outside in. Other than that, nothing is guaranteed. Even New York decided to join the party by adding couple of nice free agents in Mourning, Le Massif and Poopy P. Seattle doesn't look very strong, but they can still be considered as a contender and other teams didn't change much. The bloodbath will be real in this conference. Also, do you know what that means? NA conference is more entertaining than EU. Title. I honestly don't even remember when NA was that stacked. Sure, there were always championship material teams, but the playoff fight itself wasn't anything crazy unlike the European conterparts. But now things are different. Riga is on the mission for the worst record in the league, Prague is steady on their rebuild, Helsinki....well yeah. Malmo assembled a decent forward roster so they were upped to a mid tier and London's roster does look hella mid to me. Yet these latter two teams are more likely the teams making to the wildcard round. Moscow, Davos and Warsaw can sleep tight. Nothing will distract them from making the playoffs this season. I think this might be the most notable stuff this offseason has given to us so far. There are more news though: - Management change in New York and Malmo. The latter one is an interesting one. Not only Kaleeb took over, he also put Spaz at AGM. Basically whole Istanbul management transfered themselves to Sweden. Also what's up with Riga players taking the Malmo AGM spot? Maybe I should step down and take that job too at some point eh? - Side note: maybe Ruutu's critic of Helsinki wasn't that off. Some prophecy around there. Now I'm scared that he doesn't hit a piece about Riga.... - There was a draft too. We did Henry Tucker Jr. who is about to become a franchise goalie for years and do not doubt me about that. About other team's picks....well they drafted some. Though I have to say some of these picks were hella reaches and I wasn't sure why were they picked that high. Maybe we will know down the line. Alright, this is about it. I'm about to hit 1000 words so you won't see me rambling next week. Thank you very much. That's it and I'm out.

1. Do you like a quick offseason like this one? tbh I'm indifferent about it as of late. became so lazy I'm ok with etiher scenarios 2. What do you think of Riga's first round pick Mr. Henry Tucker Jr. future franchise goalie, calling it now 3. What are your player expectations heading into the season? have a decent rookie season, 50-60 points or something 4. Did your player do anything fun in the offseason? stealing all hoodies from Moscow stores 5. How has your summer been now that theres only a month left? great August, mixed bag on first two months 6. Cake or Pie cake

ye boi

and I hate to press on quote button instead of edit one fuck off really

this post wasnt it

45 min ago Ruutu made his new crusade against welfare gals, but for now it has to be put aside by my rambling media cause I need 6 TPE. SUCKS TO YOU! I'm really starting to feel like a usual sim league member. Come in on Monday, do your PT and then zero worries about anything for the rest of the week. In fairness, this is the better option than waiting till Sunday and then just claim a welfare cause you already feel burned out from all of the things that happened in the previous 6.5 days. So I'll gladly continue to do that until I can't even come up with random garbage rambling for the sake of 6 TPE. This is also the reason why I never even tried to take more than GM job here. I'm sure I wouldn't hang with more than one responsibilty and honestly this is why I wasn't totally burnt out from VHL altogether. There were some lower points in my times here, but every time I was able to find back the spark. And I have to say thanks to myself for not taking more than I could chew. You may say I'm not ambitious enough? Uhhh I literally don't care. I'm comfortable with my current position in this league. I guess you know why I touched this topic. We have an ongoing controversy which was made by diacope lil z zach lll or lIl z16 16z busser bussin bussin I'm still salty about Apra person. The OP literally said that this league is just an O.L.D. B.O.Y.S. C.L.U.B. with only couple of members claiming whole lotta jobs. Which stops from other members taking these, including the thread author who felt disrespected by that behavior from higher ups. Ok, I think Ottawa GM didn't mention the Best people here but socially distanced, it came from Tate I guess. But I'd imagine Z no Zetterberg is gonna agree with him on that anyways. So yeah, that's the thing. Also, rory and Ruutu with the cameo appearance there too. By the way, I'm taking no responsibility in here cause I only have one job so I have zero shits given ok thanks. By the way, we have some VHL raps coming in. The aformentioned lil z kickstarted the whole rap movement here so I'm expecting some heat collab. I'm already salivating around thinking about the possibilites of some fire collabs. We already have Dil and Bedirhan wanting showing their raps too? Get em three together....naaaah hol up hol up. I have something a better idea. lil z & lil j & lil d &.....ST4RFACE!!!! Make it happen, I'm 26743% sure it's about to be a galaxy level hit. The sales about to leave the Earth, do you imagine how much VHL gonna earn from that???....if they want even to donate something from their earnings. Regardless, it has to happen! I guess thatt's it. This media is about to stay at the headline for a bit unless people are already making a shitstorm about Ruutu's opinion on welfare members. That's it and I'm out.

1. What do you think the future holds for the Riga Reign after this season? Only me really knows the answer bwahahahaaaaa.....and likely lots of others too 2. Who is your favorite prospect in this season's draft? didn't pay lots of attention to it, but aimkin and Reid are goood first gens 3. Riga is considering a new win song for next season, what would be your pick? if you aint from my hood by project pat 4. Warsaw slayed the Moscow dragon after their dominance - what do you think was the biggest difference? I have no idea cause I checked 0 games in playoffs after Riga 5. Did you watch the WJC tournament at all? No. just no. 6. Pizza or Nachos 'pizza all day all night long

Oh my god I have to write another whole lotta nothing vhl com because fuck trivia how in the hell Locke wasn't the man with the most goals scored as a rookie I hate all of you and that person who made this question I double hate you too. Istanbul is 3-1 up. I think my last vhl com gave us a win so I want to make a statement. 3-1 isn't enough and I want the fourth win! Not so dear STHS, don't you even dare to screw up. Oh yeah, Hoodie man only had 1 point in the game 4, but I guess it didn't matter since win is a win. By the way, is there any position awards in E? AK is probably not so far from the best defenseman. Or maybe he is even the best, I don't know. I guess this build is pretty cool. Though I'll reroll this a bit still. That wrist shot thing is so unneccesary I swear. When I'll get up to decent 80's, this skill is coming into the play. But before that it doesn't matter a lot cause I'm not even gonna play for a rebuild team. So I don't think I need lots of scoring before Markinson is gone. I think this is about it. That's it and I'm out.

Hello there. I'm hedge. Honestly, at this point I was about to close this tab and claim a welfare instead because I'm tired of doing media. Or more like, I'm tired in general. I have to say thanks to a certain member who inadvertently came up with an idea for this article. On last Saturday @nurx (who is famillar with Riga) posted an answer to a question in the NY press conference about the Riga and Davos series. The question was about whether members were surprised Davos made it through. Instead of answering directly to this answer he decided to come from a bit different perspective: Riga has no emotions at this point. There was a second part of that answer, but the curse moment wasn't really interesting to me. This part, however is intriguing. He almost spent 4 seasons with Riga (including his time in VHLE) so he has to know something, right? Well.... .....I can't say for other members so I only can answer this how I felt. After game 5 I felt almost nothing. Sure, there was some sort of disappointment that our season wasn't prolonged. Other than that I expressed my opinion on how Riga is still better than Davos and decided to move on. For some(???) reason I wasn't feeling anything during these series. It's just like was one big ehhh for me. We win, cool. We lose, bleh who cares. So as for the question whether Nurx was right about Riga having no emotions - I'm not sure because we need to ask other team members for that. But when it comes to the head honcho, I have to admit that his remark wasn't far from truth. Which brings us to the next question. What's next? You may paid the attention to three question marks after the word ''some''. The thing is I know exactly the reason why there was not much involement from my side. And if you read some of my random blabs you know it too. Weather, events, work, you know the drill. Obviosly I'm just not having the same energy for this as I had with lesser everything IRL. But even with that, this wasn't the only reason why this happened. The reason is even more simple - I could see it shitloads of country miles away that something like that could happen. I knew that Riga was totally screwed this season by a certain sim engine. Countless of stupid nonesense losses against bottom feeders which never gave a chance to fight for a better position in regular season standings. And I do think Riga deserved a higher position. This series was just a cherry on the top, but by that moment I already lost an interest on this. I just had very little faith that there wouldn't be some wack shit happening around and this series proved me right. I think this is actually the rare moment when I just didn't care anymore. Even in these tragic days of late 70's Riga I still was constantly moaning about the STHS. Which does mean that I did care. Only in S81 I was pretty much cruising around waiting for a better moment to buy and go harder. This one, however...I don't know what to say. Personally, this series probaly will go down as one of the least interesting in my GM career so far. It was whole lotta shrug moment. Anyways, about the question at the beginning of my last paragraph. Does that mean.... That's it and I'm out.

1. Cider or beer? 2. have you gotten some sun tan? 3. your reaction on earlier statement from Johnston on testing FA? 4. a certain member mentioned that Riga had no emotions anymore before the series against Davos. do you agree with this statement? 5. do you wanna see Istanbul winning in E? 6. do you feel Ruutu's medias became less controversial?

And now I gotta create another garbage 200 word something nothing so I just get 2 TPE cause I was not bothering to check for answers for trivia oh my god why is this thing hard. Don't even know what to write about except of E league. Istanbul is 2-1 up right now and I want this to be finished in the next 2 games cause after that I can finally stop caring about the playoffs altogether. Not like I do care about other 2 leagues anyways, but still. Just finish the playoffs quicker cause that's boring shit. AK the Hoodie dude has 15 points in 9 games, I guess he does something. That third game was a real stinky booty juice by the way. We don't accept these cokehead inspired results so resim this trash right now. Oh yeah I once again got one nom for Elmebeck and I'm for sure know who voted for me. I don't even need to ask Victor for this. Also I saw now ex Riga member Nurx making one interesting answer there which may be the theme of my next media. That's it and I'm out.

So uhhh playoff games are happening. I'm glad to say that Istanbul has made into the finals and we have a decent shot at winning it all. wooohooo! For whole regular season long we've been at the leading spot. At some point we were dropping that spot to Bratislava (I think), but shortly after we were back at the top. I think Bratislava finished below us in standings. In this case I have no idea why we needed to face each other at semi finals. Some conference thing or something? I'm really not sure, but I guess whatever at this point. This was an interesting matchup. For me especially. I already mentioned gazillion times that I still have some soft spot to Bratislava due to reasons most of members know but forgot already. Also the best Riga prospect named James Marino was playing there too...hold up. I think his last prospect was under Moscow. Now he is with Riga and AK is in Moscow. Uhh.....confusing, I know. The series was pretty interesting. No blowouts as far as I remember. We also had a brawl in game 3(?), though AK had nothing to do with that. His primary interest was scoring and he was pretty fine with it. 9 points in 6 games. And I meant it when I said scoring is his primary thing since he was the worst at blocking shots among all Istanbul defs. At the end of the day, no negative stuff did matter as we managed to break them in 6 games to advance into the finals. I'm not even sure who are we gonna face against. I've heard it's against Vasteras. Well, ok then. Outside of it, nothing much. Honestly, I thought this moment would come earlier, but surprisingly there wasn't too much work happening. Neither lots of events. However, August came and it all came at once. More work, more events, less time and interest in spending a time at home. And some members may still remember last summer when I was borderling non existent in this league. I'm already feeling I have less ideas and time on writing articles and doing other stuff so is there a chance I'll claim welfare at some point? Hell yeah. I'm lucky I have enough interest at trying to come up with some filler filled media. That feeling when you don't have much energy to come up with a meaningful media so you're spewing out 500 word filler for 6 TPE ok thanks. I remember me trying to do the same stuff in SBA week after week. They weren't really happy I have to say. I do have one interesting idea for the article which certainly could exceed 500 word mark. About one particular EU team and their interesting contention ways. And of course I have something interesting on my mind when I'm less invested in the league. Such a shame. But hey fall and winter do exist and I'm for sure not outside a lot during these days. So maybe one day this idea will be materalized. Oh yeah VHL playoffs. Well, nothing to say. Go whoever team! That's it and I'm out.

1. Rebuild or nah? 2. Are you checking playoff games now? 3. I'm out of the loop for the past week or two. anything interesting happened in vhl as of late? 4. seriously, am I the only one who has a feeling vhl gen discord is more quiet than before? 5. The fall is a month away already. hype or nah? 6. what's your dream concert? [question inspired by Spaz in MGK tour]

w3

1. What's the vibe heading into the playoff home stretch? gotta agree Ferk, questions all over the place 2. This is the last week of the season, what have you learned the most this year? That I don't like Prague 3. What do you think is the big reason for the VHL having such a long lasting history of 15 years? Members having enough dedication to keep this alive 4. What's a sport or game that you think would be fun as a sim league (other than hockey)? idk, never really thought about it and tbh I dont even have an idea 5. What TV show are you watching right now (if you watch tv)? not watching anything 6. (from hedge) Why is it so hard to make up a decent question? it's hard to come up with a decent answer as well it seems, big sad

oh no I got caught

more like being busy with being a cannon fodder for Seattle

He said weak EU division the same division you couldnt even crack PPG in a team that didnt even make the playoffs bum ass

I think Riga players will have a nice hand to hand combat conversation with Johansson soon

@Arce did not see it coming

Killa Cam

I even remember a player named Our Lady Of Perpetual Motion wondering who was the member behind that btw w2 claim
