I think I had you as a rental player for one season cause you made a babe thread at some point. Also, it was really fun having our long negotiations on chat :3

I was the Calgary Wrangler GM from Season 43 to Season 52, but was only able to bring one cup to the franchise even though I've been blessed with some very talented players. Arguably my two most talented teams, the S45 Wranglers and the S51 Wranglers, both failed to reach their cup goals after completely dominating the regular season. Both those teams won the Victory Cup, and had some great superstars such as Bismark Koenig, Aleksi Koponen, and Black Velvet. Oddly enough, my one cup came with the S44 team that few expected to win, a team that lacked real star power but had a good enough first line, depth, and a great goalie in WinGod. I came frustratingly close to a second cup, with my S45 team going up 3-1 on Helsinki before losing due to the dreaded 3-1 curse. That same core then made the finals again in S46, but lost to Helsinki I think 4-1 but I am too lazy to check. In S47, we lost to New York in the NA finals 4-3, with Calgary winning the game 3-1 late in the third period, only to give up 3 goals in the span of 5 minutes that caused a great rage inside me. New York then went on to easily defeat a Stockholm team that was just happy to be in the playoffs (their celebrate sig was great). If we beat New York by not choking in the last 5 minutes, I am pretty sure we could have won a cup in S47. Then these past few years when I got some excellent free agency luck and some really talented players, things just didn't click in the playoffs as I don't think we ever even made it past the first round. It is especially frustrating for me because I won my cup so early and then have been on a downwards trajectory since then. It almost would feel more fulfilling if my first cup win came recently, as it would feel as though I built myself up to it. One thing I have noticed is the importance of goaltending in the playoffs. When Calgary had the best goalie in the league in WinGod, we were able to win the finals because even if the team had an off game, WinGod would bail us out with ridiculous performances. My other two goalies, Bernie Gow and Ariel Weinstein, were just hated by the sim. Both goalies had a good chunk of tpe, but for whatever reason the sim just hates some goalies and likes some others, and they both unfortunately had some soft performances in the playoffs which led to exits. I don't think I ever want to make a goalie in the VHL, because it seems to come down to dumb luck. For example, Victor's goalie had a lot less tpe than Smarch's, but played a lot better for some random reason. It looks like I've reached the word limit, so I am now going to tag everyone who I remember spending my time with Calgary so we can reminisce on our one cup win and all of our other failures. @CowboyinAmerica @Cuffy @philthethrill81 @Boomcheck @hedgehog337 @Smarch @Kendrick @Will @Higgins @Jala @Caillean @Fire Hakstol @solas @Kendrick @diamond_ace @R.I.P.

Hi VHL I am sad to report to you that I don't care much about checking here anymore. It's not like I'm super busy or anything, it's just my motivation to go on here is at an all time low. Before everyone gets all crying about the greatest person ever leaving here, I doubt I will fully leave or anything, as I still do like checking in here and posting to see what you idiots are up to from time to time. I guess at this point I'll be the league's other version of tfong as a welfare and random poster kind of guy. IDK what happened and hopefully it's just burnout and after some time off I will start being more active again. Also, I feel like part of this is just the VHL being more dead in general than what I can remember
