1. It'll be really hard to right the ship now as the contenders have made themselves known with Vancouver (how tf), Chicago, and Calgary with New York also close behind. I think we'd need to add one more solid piece offensively or maybe a goalie upgrade is the only things we can do to keep it up at this point. 2. Apparently tank extremely hard and then draft several times in the top 3 lmao 3. Probably Dion Phaneuf as I'm secretly a pylon, just give me awhile to show it. 4. It was good, celebrated thanksgiving for the first time in 4 years so it was lovely to get that feeling again of celebrating it. 5. I'd chuck myself in the sun in heartbeat if i could explore space. 6. You oskars

Looking at the teams in the NA Conference, and as unbiased as possible for those sweet, sweet prediction points, I pinned DC being the top dog of the conference despite being quite top heavy with a relatively low TPE goaltender. And although DC isn't at the top (seriously what the hell Vancouver), I'm beyond ecstatic with how the season is fairing. The addition of Aloe Dear has severely escalated the attempt for a firm playoff push, with Dear pushing for a new career record in goals with 20 goals in 24 games with a previous high of 44 in 72. This added goal-scoring has been extremely needed as in the past it's really just been Groovy Dood vs. the World. This as well as a career year by Jiggly Gumballs being over PPG 24 games into the season with 32 points which is already halfway to their previous career point totals as well as already nearing their goal scoring record means that the tandem between Jiggly + Welch is going to be even more fierce this year. Overall, D.C. is in a really good place right now and I firmly believe in this last great season for these players like Groovy Dood, Aloe Dear, and Jiggly Gumballs, that we could have the run in the post-season that the Dragons have wanted for quite some time.

1. The extra experience always helps, but with them regressing it really is a make it or break it season for DC. We have a really good chance for a deep run, but one misstep and it could be devastating for the future of the Franchise. 2. We're a top heavy group, so I fully believe our top guys are going to completely and utterly perform out of their minds until season end. 3. I'd have to go with Groovy Dood, Aloe Dear, and it'll be a toss-up between Kristof Welch or Jiggly Gumballs for 3rd place as we're both having really good seasons as defensemen. 4. A friend talked about getting Lasik surgery, and that you had to be awake for the entire procedure including when they basically temporary blinded him. Big nope from me. 5. Somewhere in between, as being in a busy city is pretty anxiety inducing but at the same time being born and raised in a country side town can be utterly boring, but I'd lean towards city. 6. People that take public transit, and when it's really busy and they put their bags or belongings on the seat beside them. Every fiber of my being wants me to slap their groceries all over the metro floor.

Ya goof, ill keep jiggs over Reinhart then

1. I mean, staying loss-less is very, very, very hard to continue on that path, but I think the NA conference is a lot weaker than it was last year so we have a good chance to hopefully stay in the top 3 this year. 2. Adding @Renomitsu Not too often you get an absolute stud out of nowhere in Free Agency. Easily makes us more of a contender by adding Aloe Dear. 3. @bigAL will probably take a trip to Europe and get ridiculously hammered@JigglyGumballs will probably pursue his longtime goal of being a full-time weeb. 4. Choirs. I ain't about that "oh they sound so angelic", it sounds wayyyy too creepy for me to hear choirs sing. 5. Eat. I could probably hammer back an entire pizza, plate of sushi, and some chicken wings in a single sitting if I really wanted to, but I rather not turn into the blueberry kid from Willy Wonka. 6. Probably Sushi due to the variety of different types. Gimme that eel one day and then the next some california rolls and then the next some tuna. Mmmmmmm.

Can't believe the core of the Yukon Rush we built together almost completely formed the VHL Rookie Allstar Team. We did it @fromtheinside and I couldn't be more proud of them

Im in, down to be a manager too

1. I congratulate them by flying to Sweden and getting horrifically drunk and eating some Surströmming. Only true way to celebrate them being the champs! 2. Team Europe baby, gotta rep my player's team! Though I don't usually pay too much attention to the other competitions to be honest. 3. I don't have any ties to any of the teams, so I'll support my old rival in Stockholm since he's the GM there, @thadthrasherand if I could choose a team it'd be there 4. Probably either Sync (for reddit) or Discord. Usually fluttering between the two of those all day. 5. PC all day, I used to be a big Xbox kid when I was in elementary, switched to playstation when I was in the start of highschool, and then I became enlightened and went to PC. 6. I don't watch a lot of television unfortunately, but the one that comes to mind is Courage the Cowardly Dog. Not sure how many episodes it had but that was a big part of my childhood was watching that on Saturdays.

Claim 1/2

1. Highlight of the season is proving doubters wrong and actually making the playoffs, and not only that but to make it out of our first match-up. 2. Personal goal is to drink as much as humanly possible without losing my liver. 3. Comfort food during the winter time is slushies. I'm always a sucker for a slushie. 4. Coolest live event would probably have to go to seeing Muse live for my first ever concert. 5. Underwater hockey. Ya'll just trying to make something hard even harder just for the sake of making things hard. 6. MALMO MALMO MALMO MALMO MALMO

Last claim out of 4 for 9/12

Rough times were had, as DC is now knocked out of the playoffs in their match-up against Seattle. To be honest it was pretty obvious what was going to happen as we're going up against easily one of the top teams in the league, and the top of the NA conference this season going into the playoffs. However the loss still stings as this might be the huge turning point for the team, as our team is not getting any younger with a lot of our vets even retiring this season and the rest retiring by next season. This playoffs was one of our last chances for a real deep run, even if we might not of had all the pieces to guarantee a deep push. The future doesn't look the brightest currently, as our hopes really rely on our GM to pull some moves in free agency or overall with trades if the Dragons are gonna make one last push next season as we don't have the draft capital to really play with, so it'll be interesting to see if we'll push to get Groovy Dude a cup shot or if we're gonna push the reset button. Despite it all, this was easily my most fun season I've had so far into my VHL career and I can't wait to see what we do next in DC.

1. Flew by, things re-opened here in July and all of a sudden it turned to September in an instant. Helps when you're not stuck inside 24/7 mandatory with curfews and restrictions. 2. Obviously cooler to be the underdogs, and definitely WHEN WE CAME BACK TO WIN THE SERIES...despite losing to Seattle the next round sadge. 3. Most dangerous lead is a lead where you feel too comfortable, even if i that's 1-0, 4-1, or even 5-0. Whenever you even slightly relax, that's when the enemy bites back. 4. I'm not sure if we have the firepower to continue such goalscoring streaks, definitely with tougher opponents in the way, but that is life when we don't have a lot of high TPE scoring players. 5. I've still battling my flu that i've had for almost a week now, my only advice is to pray to jesus because dear lord I can't shake this flu. 6. My best memory of school is getting tf out of there as school was nothing but pain for me

My boys @JB123 and @Alex_J32;-; Big congrats to the both of you and everyone else who got a GM gig, all well deserved!

bg, Seattle obviously cheated

sadge : (
