  1. Looks purty.
  2. I'm with you guys. I dislike all the teams left but the Broncos.
  3. I haven't had any problems with chrome.
  4. Overview: 3/3 - Since Salo was born in Helsinki, it would be cool for him to someday play for Helsinki. Rinne seems like a great goaltender to model after after if you keep up your work with Salo, maybe you can become the VHL version of Rinne. Grammar: 2/2 - Couldn't find anything. I don't know for sure if pro's is supposed to be pros, so I didn't take anything off. Presentation: 1/1 - Looks beautiful since there are no Islanders pictures in it Pros: 2/2 - Just over 200 words. Don't let in those garbage goals like the Islanders goalie. Cons: 2/2 - Over 200 words. Overall: 10/10 Final: 10/10
  5. Thanks for all those 2nd round picks in this draft I got good people. Also thanks for the 3 first rounders next draft that = more good people. Also I would like to announce to everyone that I beat Jim in our NHL 13 Stanley Cup series once again, which makes it 2 out of 3 now. It turns out he may have cheated also, as we use created teams that have to stay within the salary cap, and his team was 8 million over so he had to change some players. For some reason, Bobby Ryan was really good for me in our series as he got me a hat trick in a game and had the most goals in the series. Anways, back to the VHL. Oh yeah, this is usually where I post that Victor is an old man. Also, we should update the sim more so a lot of the vhlm actives dont have 0 tpe in the sim. I think I should be over 150 words now so peace out girl scouts. Bye Squinty.
  6. Taking a Look at the new Yukon Rush GM While Austin Gow’s VHL career was relatively average, one thing his coaches appreciated was his knowledge for the game and his leadership abilities. These skills helped Gow earn a job in the VHL after he retired as a player, as the Ottawa Lynx GM heard of Austin’s knowledge and decided to hire him as an assistant GM during Season 33 (It also helped that Ottawa’s GM is Austin’s brother). As a VHLM assistant GM, Austin was in a unique position as he performed many of the typical GM duties while taking a behind the scenes role. Gow was delegated the task of head scout as he scoured through film to find potential waiver wire or late round steals. The most famous of Gow’s waiver wire steals may be Boone Cassidy, a once promising young prospect who reached 135 practice hours before unfortunately becoming inactive a season later. Waiver wire pickups like Cassidy became instrumental to the team’s success as Ottawa made it to the playoffs every year Austin was an assistant GM even though they had a lack of draft ammunition as they were gearing for a Season 35 cup run. Gow’s most important late round draft steal during his tenure as assistant GM was his second round pick in Season 34, Brennan McQueen. McQueen showed great potential in Season 34, and became Ottawa’s Season 35 captain for his leadership and possibly being the most skilled player on the team. McQueen became instrumental to Ottawa’s cup run in Season 35, and is currently a star player on the Riga Reign. The Lynx also selected three star players during the Season 35 draft in Mike Szatkowski, Robin Gow, and Robert Gow III. However, Austin can’t take any of the credit for these three amazing picks, as Ottawa’s mean GM didn’t trust him with the team’s top picks. In fact, it is rumored that Austin did not wish for Ottawa to select Mike Szatkowski due to his last name being so hard to remember how to spell. After the Lynx won the Founder’s Cup in Season 35, many VHLM owners became interested in the team’s success and decided to interview Austin for his own GM position. It is rumored that Bern, Minot, and Yukon were all interested in Gow’s services and offered him a job as GM. However, Gow wound up signing with Yukon because he had some great conversations with Yukon’s owner, Carter Pewterschmidt (Someone had to negotiate the return of Brian Griffin). Austin’s first big move as Yukon’s GM was a trade with his mentor and brother, Jim Gow. Yukon traded two second round picks to Ottawa for Frederick Ernst, a defensive minded center who has been moved to defense this season. Soon afterwards, Austin made some aggressive moves in free agency, signing winger Jeevan Samuelson and goalie Zach Fucale to multi-year contracts. Unfortunately for Yukon, Samuelson was signed by a VHL team, resulting in the signing of Chop Cho to replace him. Heading into the Season 36 VHLM dispersal draft, few experts were expecting Yukon to obtain quality players due to their lack of first round picks. However, Austin’s years of experience in scouting low round draftees paid off as two of Yukon’s second round picks look to be steals. Kyrie Knight was drafted with Yukon’s 13th pick, and is already logging first pairing defenseman minutes along with quarterbacking Yukon’s powerplay. The Rush’s next pick, center Bennett Wahl, also has become a surprising steal as many thought his agent, Munk, had become inactive. Wahl has been a great locker room influence and will become Yukon’s first line center if his development continues. The only other Yukon draft pick of note is goalie Santeri Heikala. Heikala has shown a lot of potential in goal so far, and hopefully his agent doesn’t become inactive so he can continue his development. Lastly, Yukon got a steal off waivers in winger Marcus Bjorkstrand (another name I can never spell right). Bjorkstand is currently playing second line winger, but has shown a lot of promise and should be a first line winger for the Rush by year’s end. Overall, Austin is very pleased with Yukon’s progress this year as the Rush seems to be developing a very solid core. If this core continues to develop, Yukon should be in playoff contention for the next few years.
  7. You stole that from me! Also, great article Kyrie. I didn't know we were the only team in the conference with a positive goal differential.
  8. I don't see Marcus Bjorkstad anywhere on here
  9. Yukon seems to have really good shootout luck this year.
  10. What I don't like is the maps and game modes. There are no good objective modes to play outside of search and destroy/rescue. Blitz is awful, and I've never liked domination. Would it be that hard to just keep demolition, headquarters, capture the flag, etc? Also, the maps make no sense at all. I loved the big maps from other games like MW2 and stuff because they were filled out logically so you could always find people. Ghost's maps though are both big and filled with crap with no logical ways to find people.
  11. I unlocked this just to tell you it's very purty.
  12. Yeah what Boom said thanks for posting the games James. Also good job Rush we weathered the Storm
  13. Yukon
  14. welcome to the league. Good luck in Ottawa
  15. I see no reason why Chicago would draft him since they just signed Cutler. But yeah Chicago would be a decent fit for him.
  16. I would play it with you but I'm selling Ghosts because I don't think it's very good. Which is saying a lot because I consider myself a cod homer as I've played and enjoyed every game since Cod 4. I just don't think Ghosts is very good at all. I'll play some blops 2 with you though
  17. I think Manziel's off the field issues are being a little blown out of proportion. Yeah he's done some partying, and got paid in college but it's not like he's broken any major laws or anything. As far as his quarterbackin ability, I think he's got all the tools, but he's going to start very trigger happy and throw a lot of interceptions. Hopefully a team with a good coaching staff drafts him and gets the most out of him.
  18. And more money = more tpe
  19. Nice. Thanks for making this for my goalie.
  20. Yeah I'd say Eddie Lacy for rookie of the year.
  21. This looks very cool. I wish I got you on waivers
  22. I like Donald Brown. He's not the most athletic guy, but he's a really smart runner and always seems to know where to go.
  23. Yes I did. My player was just absolutely awful that year.
