Hope you're doing better, buddy. Thanks for taking care of this.

Take your time @youloser1337! You’re a gem for always putting these out, a true winner in my book.

Week 2 payout comes out tomorrow (when I'm not a depressed mess).

Form closes on Friday at 6pm EST or when VHL sims occur. Whichever comes first.
 
 

Well it’s that time once again for me to compare players on my team to their NHL counterparts. Let’s get started 
 
Forwards

Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems C Tage Thompson
 
LA’s Captain is huge for the Stars on and off the ice , seemingly always getting better and amazing the team with his skill and work ethic Sirdsvaldis has been the energizer bunny for this team the last few seasons , and appears to be well on his way to having another successful and productive season this year in LA 
 
Vinny Detroit LW Matthew Tkachuk 
 
LA’s newest addition plays a very physical game and also puts up the points while he might not be the same size as Tkachuk Vinny plays a similar type of game never one afraid to shy away from the physical aspect of the game . Vinny will be a huge player this year for the Stars . On another note Vinny is also
Chasing a milestone for most career hits in the VHL . LA is lucky to have one of the greatest power forwards in VHL history on their team this year !
 
Todd Cooke C Dylan Cozens
 
Cooke is a promising Young forward trying to find his way and contribute to the success of LA . Cooke while not having the start he’s wanted is still very promising and is still looking to have a productive season for the Stars this year .

DB lll C Tyler Seguin
 
A veteran of the VHL and the Stars DB provides offence and works hard every single shift . DB has been exactly the type of player you want to play with as well as the type of player that makes GM’s salivate at the lips for . He plays whatever role you need him to and seemingly never makes a bad play . DB will be another important cog in the LA offensive system this year . 
 
Jason Argos RW Zach Hyman 
 
Jason argos has in recent years been more of a dependable depth option for the Stars but he looks poised to have a breakout season this year they gritty hard nosed forward never takes a shift off and doesn’t shy away from the dirty areas to make a play. This player is hoping his emergence will help propel the Stars into the playoffs this season .
 
Sunglasses Joyo C Matty Beniers
 
Joyo is a young exciting rookie bringing championship pedigree and youthful enthusiasm to the Stars. Joyo is known for wearing his sunglasses everywhere even on the ice during games , legend has it that without the sunglasses Joyo wouldn’t know how to play hockey . Personally I think Joyo has a very good chance to compete for rookie of the year this year !
 
Now that the forwards are done let’s move to the defenders 
 
Callum Murray , Rasmus Dahlin
 
this towering defender is having one heck of a season early on posting multi multiple point games so far , he’s also very solid in his own end and makes one of the best first passes on the breakout I have ever seen . Murray is starting to come into his own as an elite defenceman in the VHL and he will only get better as time goes on.
 
Scoish Velociraptor Maliosh , Cale Makar 
 
Maliosh is having an excellent season so far and like Murray he’s really coming into his own as a two way defenceman in the league. Maliosh is quick on his feet and very good in both zones . And will only keep getting better as time goes on .
 
both defenders mentioned above I see competing for top defenceman awards for many seasons to come . No let’s get to the goalies
 
Alex Minion Carter Hart
 
Minion brings a lot of raw talent to the Stars after a season in the VHLE where he backstopped the storm to a renaissance cup . Minion is positionally sound and is a bright young goaltender that will give LA a lot of good years in the crease !!

Art Vandelay juuse saros
 
Vandelay might lack the size of you typical starting netminder but for what he lacks in size he makes up for in talent and heart . This season Vandelay is establishing himself as one of the premier goalies in the VHL . He is elite and there are no real flaws anywhere in his game . LA struck gold when the drafted Art .
 
there you have it folks that’s who I think are good comparisons to the LA Stars and their NHL counterparts.

@InstantRockstar @Berocka @Gustav  @UnknownMinion @JetsGoalie101 @wcats @youloser1337 @dasboot @FrostBeard @Insypher

Apologies for not doing another week of this. I'm an idiot and when I come home from work my brain decides to turn off to deal with stress. I promise next off season will be better.

1. I think we did a great job of securing our future of the team. Of course, it might take a while but the long term will payoff.
2. I don't think the team is at the weakest point. We have a great core of players with really bad luck it seems. I think our defense is a bit short but we can do some damage.
3. Hmm, I would have to listen to both of their singing. I'd say Vinny just to chirp the new guy
4. It hurts. Not going to sugar coat it. We try out best every night on the ice and it doesn't end well. If people really think that, I'd like for them to put on a pair of skates and give it a shot.
5. I think it's a mix between Murray or Sirdsvaldis. Either one would be a great choice.
6. We need defensemen badly. Maloish and Murray can't hold down the fort all game. We need help.

LA Stars Press Conference
Off-season is coming to an end soon!

As per usual, 3 answers will give you 1 TPE and 6 answers will get you the Max 2 TPE you can get from PC every week! 
 

1. How do you feel LA Stars did in the S87 VHL Entry draft?
2. Recently GM Gagnon allegedly told LA Supreme Awesome News Outlet that Stars team is at it's weakest point ever? Your opinion on this matter?
3. Right after a trade that reunited Sirdsvaldis Miglasķēms and Vinny Detroit in LA, they went out to a kareoke and both decided to Duet sign "Whole new world". Who do you think was signing the female voice part of the song? 
4. LA Stars have been labelled the "Weakest Sports Franchise of LA Area" - how do you feel about that statement as a player of this team?
5. Stars front office has been very quiet about Captaincy lately, who do you believe should become the Captain of LA Stars in S87?
6. With Free Agency coming up, who do you think we should target and why?

We zooming!!! Look at us go!!!

It would be a bit tough to incorporate into the FZ. Unless they want to add another 2 TPE to the existing one. /shrug. If this does well then I can test some stuff in the normal FZ.

Yeah, that's right! We got a mini NHL fantasy zone to keep everyone happy until the next season starts. This is only until the offseason is over. I've handpicked games that I think are going to be close (I hope) to make it tough >:)

Congrats @Pifferfish! You must carry on the @Alex legacy and trade everything lol

Alright, everyone, Shaw is back for another article. Today we will be talking about the journey of Shaw going all the way from the M in Mexico City, to Geneva in the land of the Swiss, and now in Malmo, for forever and ever (until Mr. Kaleeb @KaleebtheMightytrades me). Today we will be talking about how the leagues are different, how people and your experience are different, what changes there are in the different leagues, and some things which remain the same no matter where you go in the league. This is about to be an article of decent length so sit tight and relax and have fun with this article. 

Alright, first we start with the baby leagues and talk about the VHLM. This league is the first league you go into when you first come into the league (or make a new player). The VHLM ( or the M for short) is where you start learning about the league. You learn about how the league works and what you do in it. For Shaw, this was his first season ever. He had learned about this league from a YouTube channel and thought “Oh! This seems fun” and made a player. He had absolutely no idea what this was, or that he was in for the time of his life. In this land of Mexico, Shaw met two and a half men and his GM. First, he met his GM, whose name was Youloser @youloser1337. This man was one-third of the reason that the article that you are reading this article right now. The next person that has heavily influenced me into staying in this league in my long-time father friend by the name of Arcey @Arce. Any other variation of his name is incorrect it’s not RC that’s a remote-controlled car. Arcey was my guide, mentor, and the person who helped me stay in this league by teaching me the basics of this league along with You(loser). Him and You taught me my alphabet in the league. The next person who Shaw met in the league is my year-long friend (I keep my friendships for a long time) and currently the guy I put my body on the line for, Mr. Cat @comrade cat. I’m surprised his name hasn’t been banned from the league yet. Mr. Cat and I go back some time, including recording 3 podcasts of an hour each year having nothing to show for it, from the M and now the big leagues, he’s been a helpful friend while being a guide for what to expect. The last half-man who I met in this league was none other than the infamous, the impossible, the iconic, LEMORSE @Lemorse7. Mr. Lemorse helped teach Shaw the bigger parts of the league later on in his career however, they first met in Mexico City, Lemorse had also coined the term The Three Mosquitos (derived from the three musketeers) referring to the bond for Cat, Shaw, and Arce. These guys made a decent run in the VHLM however, the very next year, all three left the VHLM for the VHLE where  Shaw and Acrey left for Geneva and Boris went to Rome. 
 
Geneva was an interesting experience from the M. In the M, you’re guided every step of the way, while in the E, you have some freedom but also have enough guidance. As most of you are old enough, think elementary school going into middle school. In the E, I hadn’t met many people except the very famous man Minion. I still haven’t found his real age, gotten numbers from 14 to 41. Minion, and having some help from Arcey, helped the transition from the M to the E fairly smooth with minimal bumps. The E was a fun experience, teaching you what you’re going to need to know for the big league without really rushing you into it which is nice. I like the concept of the league in the middle as it helps slow things down. Other than that, not much happened in the E. This was mainly just a way to not get stuck in the VHLM for too long and not get bullied in the VHL so it was a good thing since it encouraged us to keep on earning to get into the VHL. The VHLE had a lack of playoffs for Shaw however, he definitely appreciated the stuff in the VHLE to help the transition.

Between the VHLE and the VHL, the entire league saw a huge change, the change from regular attributes to hybrid attributes. This, surprisingly, did not hurt Shaw as much as most people. This was as a result of Shaw having a single category focused and since he was still in the E, he had time to see what he should and shouldn’t change. Along with guidance from Minion and Lemorse, the transition from such a big change in between these two leagues was fairly smooth sailing.
 
 Now, in the VHL, we go to Malmo. It’s been 4 years since I got here, we first had @Domas our GM. Now guess who our AGM was, yep you guessed it, in fact even my keyboard guessed it, it was Lemorse. The VHL is probably the most interesting league of them all. It’s like high school, you have the independence to choose what classes you want but have some restrictions depending on your team. Similarly, you have the guidance you need, however it’s mainly on yourself to choose what you want. The VHL has been quite the ride, in fact I will probably be writing an article about the VHL itself soon so I won’t go into too much depth about it right now, but to summarize it, this season, I also met @animal74who was a great veteran and guide to my carrer. Dom got one of the mosquito back for the low low price of a 4th. Dom and Lemorse both had to retire from their posts due to personal reasons, we now have @KaleebtheMightyrunning this whole operation so he must get his sidekick who was @Spaz. We also meet many other people during this time including veteran defence man Max Torq @Steveand rookie Mo Probert @ItsScoot.
 
 
Alright everyone, so that was a short summary of how the league works from Shaw’s perspective and different experiences from the different leagues. I won’t bore you with the outro, this will be Dabnad Shaw, signing off one more time, until next time, this is Dabnad Shaw signing off.
