1. With multiple draft picks this season, how do you think LA will manage in the draft? it really depends on what LA is trying to accomplish but in the long run if you are making selections they usually don`t help right away but rather a season or two down the road. So who ever LA drafts it has to be a long term plan with these players and the team overall. 2. Season 100 is upon us, a huge milestone for the league. What was your favourite memory? When PEB was finally called to the HoF as that was the goal that I set for that player, but I also must say my first Championship in VHLM and scoring the Winner against my former team in Continental Cup final over-time to win my first championship. Hopeful able to repeat that here in LA or something special like that!! 3. As the off-season progresses, what is one thing you're thankful for within the VHL? Good friends that I have made over the past three season or so and ability to share a laugh. Hopefully that continue as I join LA locker room and I continue to meet new members!! 4. What is your favourite gametime or pre-game regime? Not sure I have any really but I guess having breakfast and coffee with a bit of banter with my team mate before the games. A ton of banter after the game as we mock each others lack of abilities!! 5. Do you think that LA will be able to improve this season and get in to the playoff 'bubble'? I hope so adding a Stud 50 -50 player like Bouchard should go a long way to help the team but it will take a team effort with everyone improving to the point that not only are we a Playoff bubble team but we become a contender!! 6. Out of all your players (or if you only have one), do you have anything you regret? And if so, why? Yes, I wish with my first player I was more aggressive with what I wanted as I don`t think Robert Bouchard got a fair chance in Prague until the end by then it was too late. Also I am too loyal as I have only really played for the team that has drafted me (sort of). First player was a career player in Prague, PEB was a career player in Vancouver (Helsinki at the end) and Now PMB was a career player in Vancouver (now traded to LA). I want to have a player that bounces around or at least makes the GM sweat and promise me the world so that I re-sign with them; just once!! Maybe my next player; which I am not sure what that will be yet!! I could go meme defender that wants to chop everyone heads off but somehow a tough defender is still going to be good at some point as I have never earned under 1200TPE yet!!! So maybe a welfare player is the way to go!

The Day that Changed everything!! Is it the End of the World? 1. Vancouver made some minor moves early into the off season picking up young prospect Ronan Amnon @Breeze837 from D.C. Dragons for S101 VAN 2nd? What did you think of the trade and what was the first thing you said to Amnon when he joined the Locker room? 2. Today marked the end of the world as far as fans might be concerned as fan favorite with golden locks of hair that looked like sunlight in the dark cold days of summer; Pierre Marc Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito (ha ha) was fired from a Cannon to conference rivals LA Stars? What did you think about the trade and are we finally happy to get rid of that bum? Explain …. 3. Vancouver then continued to rebuild their roster quickly adding Mr. Wolf himself in Sunset Moth @McWolf for a weak S101 MOS 2nd? What does it mean having the Wolf man himself join the Wolve pack? Explain…. 4. Last trade that felt like many as many more were discussed seen the team add Vanuza Kolesinska @chikn and Bryce Woodworth @SirRupertBarnes now completing the roster unless the finger of the GM is still itchy; Do you like this trade why or why not 5. Has Vancouver Management done enough to keep the window of opportunity and committing a heinous crime against a now former teammate? Yes/No Explain…. 6. Can you tell that it has been a long day and I have been drinking a bit of good Whiskey? What would you do if you traded away from the best team in the VHL; the Vancouver Wolves? (No I am not drinking because I traded myself ) 7. Bonus Riddle: I can go all around the world but never leave my corner. What am I? @Frank@Tim Robinson@SirRupertBarnes@Scurvy@NineIQ v2@Smarch@McWolf@chikn@Thunder @Masu Chan@Breeze837@Gaikoku-hito Also who let the Chikn into the Wolves den? Like that is going to end well!!

Yes, I did!! LOL!! We need to look at the future of the team and clear cap if we are going to have any chance at winning this season. And it was pivot that really started last night!! Now PMB will hopefully lead LA back to Playoffs and hopeful a few Championships. The core is coming together!!

Happy to be a LA Star so that I can retire early!! LOL!! Happy we could get something done and hopefully it works out for both teams!!

S98 Vancouver Wolves Awards It seems like every season we seem to always come across the same team over and over. This season we seen the New York Americans in the Wildcard round after a season that could only be described as underwhelming but the playoffs are a whole new season and chance to forget about the problems of the season, right? Well, in the case of the Vancouver Wolves the playoff simply mirrored the regular season as it seemed other teams came prepared with pliers and keep the wolves rather toothless for most of the season. We tried something new by running a few bots as we thought we had a strong enough team to at least get to the trade deadline where we would have been able to add getting ready for a long playoff but clearly ten games into the season and we were lucky to be able to pivot and just make the playoff in the end. Down season was clear and by the season end we had zero players over 100pts after the similar team a season previously having five players with 100pts or more so putting it nicely it was a dumpster fire so now we try to take away anything positive from the past season and look forward to a new start in S99 and hopefully another Championship run…… So here are the positives from this past season via the Vancouver Wolves awards: Best Defenseman: Vancouver Wolves rebuilt their defensive core last season trading away league award winning and likely HoF defender to New York Americans Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts and brought in Lionel Collberg @Masu Chanfrom Chicago Phoenix with Bric Sheithaus @Oldhead91 also joining the roster from LA Stars; so a lot of pressure would fall on Bollos de Trueno @Thunder as one of two returning defenders to carry the bulk of the work load. Einar Mathiesen @xsjack was the other returning defender after being acquired the previous off season. So who was this season best defenseman for Vancouver Wolves: Little Wolf Award (Most Hits): A lot of discussion around hits in the media towards the end of the season and the playoffs as hits are view to lead to more PIM, which if the player plays a physical brand of good old hard hitting hockey that shouldn`t really surprise anyone so maybe we see the Little Wolf Award winner again when we award the Tooth Fairy award so who was the little wolf this season? Unsung Hero: Oh, I love this award as it can be the easiest or the hardest award to give out but always goes to someone that is more than deserving as they did everything possible to help the team win but might not actually get recognized for what they accomplished this season. So who was Vancouver Wolves Unsung Hero: Sniper Award (Shooting Percentage): From past experience this award usually goes to a player that either didn`t get a ton of extra looks on the PP or PK but played a key role within the lineup but maybe didn`t get the ice time that they required to really breakout or the player that simply scores the most goals on the team so lets find out who was the Sniper this season: Most Energetic: Like the annoying puppy that always jumps all over when you come home from work but in someway always lifts you up after a tough day and as I said last season I cannot see this award really going to anyone else as long as this player is on the Vancouver Wolves roster so once again we award this award to: QB Award (PP Assists): Not sure if I said this last season as well but most will think the assist leader of the league should likely win this award but that wasn`t the case last season as this award was shared by two players in Martin and Bouchard so will one of them claim the award for themselves or will we have another rare tie? Most Valuable Player (MVP): This is the first time in season that I cannot without question tell you who our MVP was this season and I am not sure if that is due to the fact that every player had a down season or if it is due to no one really standing out as MVP this season. Martin, Ninefingers and Bouchard all had 9 GW; which is usually a key indicator but this season I am not sure that is a key indicator. So, who am I going to choose? Tooth Fairy (PIM Award): Gone is the Guntis goon shipped off to New York American in a trade that would bite Vancouver and the Wolves in the big fat butt. So who is know thinks they are tough that Guntis is gone but none other then: Rookie of the Year/Top Prospect Award: Well, in typical Frank fashion we had a prospect once this season but they have since been fired to the moon and we have no clue when and if we will have another prospect; wait yes we do!! The draft is next week and who ever we draft with our only pick will be our top prospect at least for a short while!! LOL!! Always Responsible (Plus/Minus): Oh, This one should be interesting as I have a feeling that this might be a surprise award or a player that joined the team after the season started; likely padding stats on another team since well how to say this nicely Vancouver was rather dog shit last season. So who win this award but none other then: It wasn`t me!! (Least PIM): Another award that usually goes to a player that didn`t get a ton of ice time or simple plays a clean all round game so who was the cleanest player on the Wolves this past season: Oops Sorry Eh!! (Least Hits) Last season we seen a bit of a surprise as this award usually goes to a forward due to the nature of being a more offensive build while defenders are more likely to try to remove the offensive players from the puck so last season Einar Mathiesen winning was a huge surprise so will we see a forward reclaim the award this season? Shoot the lights out (Most Shots): Even without looking at these stats yet I have a clear idea who I think will be winning this award as shots on net usually means more goals so we are looking at two players; right? Either Martin or Ninefinger is my guess but I think it will be more likely Ninefingers as he tries so darn hard. So which one is it? Work Horse Award (AMG): One name jumps out right away considering we expected him to be on the ice then more then any other player last season but could I be wrong as maybe it was our fearless leader that usually set the tone with a ton of hits? C`mon Coach (Least Played): Without even looking I know this person has been called up to the stage a few times tonight as this usually goes hand and hand with hits and PIM awards so let see if I am correct again tonight? Bruised and Battered Award (SB): Usually another defenseman award but I think this season across the league we seen some crazy stats coming from forwards blocking more shots then defenders but I might be wrong. While I think our top defenseman is actually scared of the puck as much as fighting I think he still might have been accidently hit enough by the puck to win the SB award. Lets see if I am correct? Three Stars Award: I found a new way to actually collect the three stars and while I haven`t entered the data into the calculation yet, it shouldn`t take as long as previuos season. Usually the three star award validates my MVP award so let see if that happens again this season? Final Thoughts: Disappoint season overall as we tried something new. We recovered only to fall once again come playoff time. If this is one of our lows then next season can only be a high so lets forget about last season and look forward coming back hungrier then ever to claim another Championship but lets not do too well as we don`t want the Victory cup and the curse that comes with it!! @Tim Robinson@Frank@Gaikoku-hito@Thunder @Scurvy@Smarch@NineIQ v2@xsjack@Oldhead91 Words: 2225 words Claims May 11th, 18th, 25th & June 1st

See link to LR!! Must resist temptation to click

Spider Panda for MVP!!! Advantage Calgary!!

@NineIQ v2 Congrats!!

So this is situation of first goalie to make save wins!! LOL!! Is this too low of blow for Oiler fans?

Which makes it even funnier!! LOL!!

Are you using the program for PP (Production Planning) , PM (Production Management), MM (Material Management) or QM (Quality Management) ? As it doesn`t sound like you are using with ECM (Engineering Management) or ECC (Engineering Control Center); which are meant for Engineering. So yeah, if you are only using PP, PM, MM and QM aspect of SAP then yeah it is very much an accounting program. Which is why I stated most companies don`t use SAP correctly or only use part of the program!! This sound very much like the issue and it is likely due to cost of the full program of SAP isn`t cheap and the company has found work arounds at the expense of the Engineers!! See if you have CC01 or CCUNDO commands as that is the quick way to find out if you have access to ECM and ECC!! Based on my quick search doesn`t sound like HANA has these aspects so you might be SOL!!

Defense wins Championships!!

Vancouver as only single pick via Prague as we traded our pick to DC. DC will control the later part of the draft with picks at 8th, 11th and 12th!! Unless there are further trades!! Well, write article otherwise!!

Aka don`t find a replacement and we have her forever!!!

Congrats Calgary!!
