Okay so now you're calling me stupid for listening to senior members of the site who tell me if I want to earn an extra 2 TPE a month to just copy and paste both articles. Wow what is wrong with you.

 

Oh so if senior members of a fake basketball website told you to jump off a cliff you would do it too

Also being told to copy paste and actually doing it is stupid af

Like did they not teach you about plagarism in school or something

I was TOLD to copy/paste. I wasn't trying to pull a fast one on the SBA. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror, and your leadership who led a first gen astray. Ever think about that? No, of course not.

Triggered? Look at what you wrote, how emotional are you, you wrote on TWO websites about this. What a loser.

Oh yeah, 'mid at best' - my first gen was an MVP, but yeah, good job criticizing an active user and earner. That's a really healthy thing for the league, right?

Now look whos triggered hm

Bro get over it, you got to waste 1.5 irl years making up BS player brands for players you didn't have (and then copy pasting it to EFL) all so you could get 2 TPE/month for your mid at best SBA players

Jokes on all 3 leagues for letting you get away with that shit, now jokes on you for being triggered that they did the right thing

It's amazing how people can think that they're above reproach when in reality they're probably just really shitty human beings.

Yeah that's a pretty accurate description of yourself

1 - based on the start of the season, not great. Our offense just hasn't been there.

 

2 - I'd like to be in the top 10 for hits and shot blocks.

 

3 - play some games, forget to take care of my basic needs, binge on something stupid like tortilla chips and salsa.

 

 

1 - I recently started a daily exercise routine. Do you have one?

 

2 - shower or bath? Conditioner? 

 

3 - stealing from above, what are some goals for your player this season?

1. do not, however I do try to go to the gym once a week and run.

2. Definitely a shower, baths get cold too fast. And yes, I do use conditioner.

3. Winning a ring or an award is always nice, but in the end the big goal is to just have fun.

1. What do you think is the most overrated/underrated part of sim leagues in general and why?

2. Describe your ideal sandwich. What type of bread, meat, how many condiments, etc.? 

3. How much a role does music play in your life? Are you involved with it, does it regulate your moods, do you hate music, etc.?

Well, the regular season has started, and Oslo goalie Henry Tucker Jr. is off to a fast start. He's started 3 of the 4 Oslo games so far and has done amazing, as he is currently 4-1 with a .944 SV% and 2.00 GAA throughout 5 games, while Sam Tombstone, the goalie he backed up in Halifax, is 1-0 with .976 SV% and 1.00 GAA so far, giving the team probably the best goalie combo in the league. Additionally, HTJ has a league-leading 1 goalie assist so far, so that's something. 

The E has definitely proved to be a strange place for HTJ, as neither he or his dad was ever based outside of America, but there are plenty of familiar faces: Murdock, Bezos, Teno, Tomstone, and Pederson are the headliners, and that's just the goalies, too. On his team, HTJ has seen some familiar faces, including former teammates Brodie Landry III (HFX) and Tomstone, as well as some players whose agents NSG knows well, most notably Juan Sano III (NSG's former SBA GM), and John Jameson (the dude who who was smart enough to fire NSG as the VAN AGM). It's been very nice to see them all again, but unfortunately, HTJ will only have 1 season to reminisce with them before heading down the road to Riga.

Additionally, for VHLM Career Records for HTJ (top 50 only)

SV% (min. 10 GM): .906 (15th)

GAA (min. 10 GM): 2.04 (12th)

11 seasons after Henry Tucker, then an obscure 66 TPE right wing, was selected 73rd overall by the Minnesota Storm, then of the VHLM, his son, Henry Tucker Jr., a slightly less obscure 320 TPE goalie, was taken 12th overall by the Oslo Storm, now of the VHLE. Even though Tucker Jr. is no longer united with his good pal Tater Tottingham, full-circle moments continue to happen as the netminder returns to the franchise that his dad was drafted to, and just as Tucker's final stomping ground before the bigs was with the Storm, so it will be with Tucker Jr. Unfortunately for Tucker Jr., though, his 1-season stop is 22 hours away from his pro franchise, in Riga, so it'll be a bit of a drive (and, according to Google Maps, a ferry ride as well), however, it's well worth it (as long as it doesn't infringe upon his performance in Oslo) as the players in that locker room today will be the people trying to protect him from shots tomorrow.

The offseason is slow, though, and I've just left the VHLM, so likely to the delight of @Shindigs, IT'S TIME FOR STATS! To save a little time, though, in order to get on the list, I must have placed in the top 25.

Halifax

Wins: 7 (22nd) - Not that bad for not placing in games, I'll take it!

SV%: .908 (3rd) - I was 2nd entering the season, but props to Bezos, as he managed an amazing .920 SV% across a full season of work. Still liking my spot in the top 3 though.

GAA: 1.61 (1st) - Bezos may have me beat in SV%, but he wasn't able to top my amazing GAA. Huge thanks to sam for assembling an amazing defense that year.

Shutouts: 1 (T-17th) - I guess all the other goalies sucked? Of all the goalies with 1 SHO, though, I have the fewest games played, at 8.

Mexico City

Regular Season 

Games: 48 (13th) - Splitting time with Swayman pushed me down some, but honestly I don't care.

Wins: 26 (9th) - In spite of the lower amount of games, he somehow still managed to get into the top 10, which I'll take.

Losses: 13 (15th) - Of the 22 goalies, I'm particularly low here, but still on the radar. Such is the life of a starting goalie.

OTL: 8 (4th) - Leading the league in OTL did wonders, as he has more OTL than every goalie except those with more than 125 GP, and even Solomon Crawford (75 GM) was no match for him.

SV%: .906 (5th) - Well, in my defense, one of them only played 2 games so I'm really mor top 4 in this one, and another only played 18 games and had a 4.45 GAA, so he's kinda lame.

GAA: 2.11 (2nd) - Finishing only behind backup Swayman was an amazing feat and it really shows how amazingly deep the goaltending was for us this year.

SHO: 7 (T-3rd) - While I did not finish 1st here either, I did finished 1 behind a Zamboni Driver (72 GM), 3 behind Emerson Jr (128 GM) and tied with a dude who had 183 GM. Because of that, I did actually claim the best games to shutouts rate in team history, with me recording a shutout once ever 6.86 games, so another great achievement.

Playoffs (Only 12 goalies made it, so I need to be in top 10 here) 

GM: 10 (7th) - Interestingly enough, I have the fewest games of any MEX goalie who won a playoff series. Everybody else was able to at least make it 11 games.

Wins: 5 (7th) - Yeah yeah yeah, same thing as what I said above.

Losses: 4 (T-5th) - Not really hyped to this high, but on the bright side, the dude I'm tied with got swept. Big L for him.

OTL: 1 (T-3rd) - Managed to finish higher on the playoff leaderboard than reg. season leaderboard in this regard, but it doesn't matter. Fun fact: OTL in playoffs still equals a loss.

SV%: .930 (1st) - Unlike most people topping this list, I have 2 reasons why I won this. First, I did get a lot of shots from silly Las Vegas, but I also was just a good goalie in general, as you'll see in the next stat...

GAA: 2.26 (1st) - Let's gooooooooooo I completed the duo of GAA and SV%! Haters gonna hate, but I shook it off and proved how stupid they were.

And that's all there is for this article, besides this spoiler below. Will it have more content, more stats, a rickroll, a collection of Taylor Swift lyrics, or a picture of a sandwich? Well, there's only one way to find out...

1 - project your player's stats next season

I'll say the wins are low, but the save percentage (and heart) is high. Somewhere around a .928 SV%, but 22 wins.

 

2 - which current teammate is the best in the locker room?

You wouldn't think it'd be Florida Man, but everybody needs that wild man that is willing to do anything to pump people up.

 

3 - which teammate is the most likely to clear the room with a big ol nasty pre-game toot?

Let's just put it this way: We have a guy on our team whose nickname is Boom. The name fits quite well.

 

Questions:

1. What advice do you have for the new VHL GMs?

2. What VHL/VHLE/VHLM offseason move has surprised you the most?

3. We're at the end of summer! What's your favorite vacation you've taken recently?

1. Just try to be fun and engaging in the LR, and the rest will sort itself out.

2. I think Murdock falling to 7th in the VHL Draft was a real surprise, given that he's been a top-tier goalie prospect from the beginning onward.

3. First of all, you're wrong, I've been in school for 3 weeks now already. My favorite vacation, though, was probably my annual weeklong stay at church camp. I broke 3 bones in my foot but I did have a great time regardless.

1. A new season is coming in fast, what VHL/E/M teams do you think are title favorites and why?

2. On the other teams, which teams do you think are heading into rebuild mode and what do they need to do to return to competitiveness?

3. Are they any television shows you're looking forward to watching this fall?

At about 7 PM local time, Mexico City Kings goalie Henry Tucker Jr. settled in to hid couch, got out a Coke, and began the wait to see where he would go. Going top 2 seemed nearly impossible, but Calgary might go for him at 3 or maybe London at 5 depending on where Murdock went, What if that didn't happen, though? Would Riga pursue him at 8 or would he fall out of the top 10 entirely! The last thought was especially scary, so Tucker Jr. just shook off those thoughts, grabbed some avocados, and nervously munched away in between sips of Coke.

Vancouver had a weird-ish first pick, as the GM passed on his own player to acquire the 368 TPE Henry Eagles, who has 57 TPE higher than Jameson (but then again, he wasn't the GM's player). Prague also was a little shocking when they passed on their GM player and snatched Jameson! Any hopes of HTJ going to Calgary were quickly erased when they took VHL-ready defender Phil Strasmore. 4 and 5 were very forgettable picks, as none of them were in the market for him, but when Malmo took his good friend Tater Tottingham at 6th, HTJ jumped out of his chair and did a little victory dance. He still hadn't been picked, but with them having such deep roots dating back to Tucker and Tot, it was like he had just been picked. He had to quickly refocus, though, since Moscow quickly picked Murdock, which meant that his time was coming very, very soon. Malmo had been a suitor, but if they didn't pick him, Tucker Jr. would have to hope that London went for him at 10. And then what if...? Tucker Jr. had to once again shake off the doubt and believe in himself.

"And with the 8th pick of the Season 85 VHL Entry Draft, the Riga Reign select... Henry Tucker Jr." the TV said, right as Tucker Jr. had finished his plate of avocado slices. He leaped for joy and immediately called Tater Tottingham on his cell phone to congratulate him. They exchanged congratulations and well wishes and all that, and for the next 4 hours, they just kinda chatted and stuff until they hung up. Tottingham and Tucker still have the chance to be VHLE teammates, but it's becoming more and more likely that their agency's run as teammates is over for a long while.

After that, very late-ish at night, the AGM sent him a brief text, saying something to the effect of, "Ayo, we're happy to have you since you were out first pick!" and almost right after that, the GM purchased his one-way flight ticket to Riga. Tucker Jr. had no idea where that actually was, but he went straight to the airport and got on the plane anyways. On the flight, he learned that it was the capital of Latvia, however, he didn't know where Latvia was. Thanks to Google Maps, though  he figured it out shortly before he landed in Riga. Immediately after exiting the plane, he was swarmed by reporters, but ever the introvert, Tucker Jr. declined to take questions. The NSG Agency only does interviews very occasionally, and as a matter of fact, has never had an interview in the VHL. Yes, they do go to press conferences, but that level of silence is unusual in such a highly publicized league.

Once he got to the locker room, though, he became very talkative. He said hi to nearly every player on the team, including the prospects, and although he'd have a much harder time getting to the LR while the VHLE season was going on, he knew that it was a great LR for him to have some fun in.

1. If you had to rebrand one VHL teams brand but keep the city the same (VHLE and VHLM included), which team would you choose and what would you rebrand it as?

DC as the Senators.  I'm going to have my Washington Senators back even if I have to go to a fake hockey league to get it.  lol

2. If the VHL had to have one gimmick that set it apart from every other hockey league in the world, what would you like that gimmick to be?

Let's have a giant hat drop from the ceiling of every rink when a player scores his third goal.  lol

3. European ice hockey rinks and North American rinks are different sizes. The VHL has teams in both continents. What do you think the situation for rinks are? Are all VHL games played on EU sized rinks, NA sized rinks, or is it like baseball where it's a mix from arena to arena?

Never thought of that.  Good question.  I see it as a mix like in baseball.  Interesting ramifications for home ice advantage.

 

1.  Spend a day with any pro hockey player.  Who and why?  (Doesn't have to be an NHL pro hockey player.)

2.  Ever name a pet after a hockey player or other sports figure?

3.  Max length of career in the VHL - too long, too short, or just right?

1. Tom Wilson, he's my favorite because of all the fights he gets into (true honesty, the idea for Tucker's build was based off of him)

2. Nope lol. If I ever did I'd name the pet after Cam Newton, though.

3. Too short, I love aging into oblivion. Hard caps are boring.

1. What's your favorite time of the VHL season and why?

2. Is their any weird food that you really liked and why?

3. Anything fun coming up on your schedule and why will it be fun?
