  1. 1) Everything really. We are outshooting our opposition by a lot which means all the skaters are doing well, and the goalie is cleaning up everything coming his way. 3) Saskatoon ain't got nothing on us and come playoff time I expect a sweep. 4) Better than expected, I knew Malone would be among the top goalies in the league but he is having a historically good year 7) GregGreg is a beast every time he steps on the ice 9) The NHL series is by far my favorite. Me and some friends/family have been running an EASHL club on there for years and we are really good 10) Definitely Shawn since he plays hockey meanwhile Dil is a tiny little coder boy
  2. Back in the day when writing a media spot, if you wanted to bold, color, highlight, italicise, or center text, there was an exact order you had to do it in or else the coding wouldn't work Media spots would be graded on content and grammar - at the time I just accepted it but looking back why did we grade on grammar as if it was an English class - who really cares? Updating had to be done completely manually. You created your own updating thread, had to post the links, tpe earned, and do the math yourself for attribute brackets. You then had to wait for the updater to come in take a look and do your updates, which could take up to a week Even if the updater had updated your player, it didn't guarantee your player was actually updated in the sim. Player updates in the sim only happened like twice a season. Getting your updates in before the playoffs was always a big deal
  3. Kevin Malone had 9 saves. He is good. There 2 sentences not hard
  4. Same rule could be implemented for VHL practice facility too yea. It's lame no one ever comments on game threads in either league
  5. Randomized Redraft of All Players Each Season - Snake Draft Recently in the VHLM Commissioner application page, I discussed two areas that I believe are currently major painpoints for the VHLM at the moment - VHLM Parity and lack of posting on game threads. The game thread posting solution is quite simple, just re-institute the rule I formerly put in place of requiring 2 game thread posts per week in order to use practice facility. With the portal this should be really easy now, and is not worthy of an entire article. My initial thought on how to make the VHLM more competitive was to implement restrictions on draft pick trading. In the past, we have capped teams to only have x number of 1st or 2nd round picks in a draft, and I am not sure if this policy is still in place. Even with that rule, it was still too easy for teams to go through the cycle of tanking or fully going for it, with not much in between. The more extreme measure would be to completely limit any draft pick trading, but that also creates a variety of problems. While many VHLM GMs are great at helping develop new members, they understandably want to enjoy the manager part of the trade in trades, drafting, etc. If we eliminate all trading of draft picks that takes away from that aspect. Additionally, it would make it very difficult for rosters to be flexible in accommodating other players, say if one team needs a defensemen and another team needs a forward. Lastly, I am just not a fan of implementing such strict rules like this in general. The easiest solution to solve the parity problem in the VHLM is to hold a re-draft every single season where every player in the VHLM gets re-drafted. The draft order would be randomized and in the form of a snake draft to keep competitive balance from the draft as fair as possible. Teams would not be allowed to trade future draft picks ever, but trading up or down in the snake draft would be allowed. The benefits of this method are as follows: There would be 0 incentive for teams to tank, as they hold no pieces going into next season. Every team would be trying their best to win GMs would still maintain full flexibility in building their teams how they see fit Competition between teams every season would be extremely high, as everyone should have close to an equally balanced amount of assets With players equally spread out from the draft, there will be more competition for waiver players as there won't be full teams right off the bat from the draft and then other teams are empty. More competition for waivers makes members feel more wanted if many teams are calling for them As for the negatives to this approach, I can only think of two. Let me know if you can think of any more negatives or positives: Players would not build loyalty / remain with the same team more than one season. I don't think this is a huge problem though, as most players don't spend more than two seasons in the VHLM anyway It would be more work for the commishes and the portal to re-draft players to a new team every season. It seems like it would be reasonably manageable though. Please let me know your thoughts VHL. This seems like an extremely simple solution with minimal downside, unless there is something I am missing here. I hope this great big beautiful idea gets the attention it deserves.
  6. Get yeeted ottawa
  7. Thanks for carrying me in this one boatgang
  8. Looks like Malone is back from vacation
  9. My GM did not have me properly motivated to play in this game
  10. oh someone else actually commenting on a game thread nice!
  11. 2 shutout sims yes please!
  12. let's keep the shutouts coming boys!
  13. Discord misses you @Elijah (Fong's Son)
  14. Another shutout for Malone
  15. I will apply. I don't expect to get it considering a lot of other people on here have been more active than me and are probably more deserving. However, I think my platform needs to be discussed. The following two pictures cannot happen, and if I am made VHLM commish I will implement changes to fix this including possible draft pick capping in drafts, completely disallowing the trading of draft picks, and re implementing the 2 comments in VHLM Game threads for practice facility approach from last time I was commish.
  16. this man speaks the truth
  17. Pretty sure the reason i got a 1 and 2 for tebowgow was that draft was so bad that 1st was an inactive As for banacock signing every other team had a goalie and didn’t want him so it was a pity signing just so he would get to have somewhere to play
  18. Get yeeted sasky
  19. Now that I got blue team's attention with that title, let me talk about how great of a player Kevin Malone is! He leads the VHLM in save percentage, goals against average, and shutouts! After a very sucky start to his career it is fun to finally have Malone perform like I know he can. I expect to win a cup on Halifax this season because Dil has done a great job surrounding Malone with the talent needed to succeed. Does anyone know why are past VHL discord history got wiped on gen chat? Did someone say something bad worth getting banned for? When will Elijah come back he was funny and the best tfong is mean for banning him. Does anyone remember when Robbie and Bushito legit were challenging each other to meet in person and have a fist fight? The fact that two grown men were actually talking about going through with that was hilarious that is like 4chan level stuff. *This post has nothing to do with the SBA I just now have your attention!
  20. 1) Great we are in first place and kicking butt! 2) Kevin Malone - very humble I know but leading the league in save percentage, shutouts, and goals against. Hats off to the defense too 4) We should play @gregreg more his player is a beast 9) I do not but it looks pretty fun and I will probably gert into it soon 10) Rahdo, I have never heard of anyone call it rawdo? 3) Malone is likely to win best goalie and possibly league MVP, so great!
  21. SMH MY Head @a_Ferk was hung by town, and he was the mafioso. Congratulations to town and our pirate @Berocka on winning! The game is over and I will see about discord things but I am boomer and bad at discord
