Interviewer " alright thank you folks for tunning in as tonight we have a very special guest with us. its not what typically have as its no singer ac tor or anything like that no. its a hcokey player from the VHLM drafted 1oth overall this past drart for VHL to a team in Riga? here is Milk Jugs!

interviewer " thank you for taking the time here today in having this sit down as we dont normally have athletes on this show and were happy to have you here cn you maybe tell our viewers a little about yourself for those who dont know you?"

Milk Jugs ' hi yeah im Milk Jugs im looking to being the best VHL defencemen there ever was to lace up the skates. i currently play in the minors in the VHLM for a team called Houston Bulls."
interviewer" why are you in the minors? it says you were drafted 10th overall i mean isen't that supposed to be good?" 
Jugs" its not really my call but it gives me a year to just develop and get better. i really dont care where i play as i just love the sport. "

interviewer" you've gotten a hat trick as somebody that plays defencemen is that correct?"

YES HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES!! This week has been great for Milk Jugs whos found some success putting on some offensive production early on. This week marked a millstone as the defensemen has gotten himself his first hat trick in his pro career 
 
 
The defender thats now proudly able to say hes a Riga product after falling too 10th overall in the VHL draft and will be looking to prove on why hes the top prospect that is now considered a steal. Jugs being able to show why hes a top pick has shown early signs with his elite offensive abilities and defense presence early on. next season Riga will surely be looking to use these to there advantage as quick as possible. Milk Jugs looks to be a lethal threat offensively as the hat trick he scored is only a sign of what yets to come in this long season. this looks to just be the beginning of this break out year here in the jungle ( M) . with the Bulls looking at eary struggles and time im writing this we only have two defenseman so i think alot can change yet in this season weather its via trade/ sign whatever so i will keep applying tpe to get better and hope for better results because thats all you can really do at this point .  but for now i will keep watching sims to see if anything changes or gets worse from this point on but like i said alot can change from this point of the season. 

Jugs is now out of the WJC and will look at taking his talents elsewhere as for this upcoming offseason could mean a " breakout season" for the young rising star defender that was drafted 10th overall this past VHL draft weekend being selected by Riga who seems to be ready to have this prospect step in a couple of seasons to be the star studded defensemen he's projected to be. For now Jugs will take what he learned suiting up for the Canada team in the WJC who had a very disappointing turn out to use this motivation and come back even better in the upcoming season. Milk Jugs eyes up more production for the offensive side as well defensive 
 
 
For now Milk Jugs will set sights on being a top defencemen in the VHLM as a back bone to whatever team drafts him in this draft. with last seasons production being something to take some notes of. Milk Jugs will train hard while practicing with his new VHL team until the season starts and puts on a possibly even more production out break on a better performance that can hopefully lead to a deep playoff run this time instead of a short lived playoff run. this experience will hopefully come in handy this upcoming season as Milk Jugs takes a leadership role this season being ' year 2 in the M' 
 
 
 
anyways thats all for this week as much as offseason been boring i enjoyed the draft and i hope everyone else did as well!  

review: well thank you for the award!! this is a great team to be on and i enjoyed every min of it! very cool awards and format ! thanks for everything Thad! your support has been great! 10/10 not biased lol i swear. i really enjoyed this 

The draft, this something all young rookies look forward too in there young careers. All those years dedicated too finally get that chance to say they've made it. Those practices mom and dad would drive you, through the weather conditions too leaving them at such a young age for a billet family for some. whatever the story lies on that young players career the story will turn a new chapter and that is to hear there name get called on the big stage in front of those passionate hockey fans cheering and booing as they watch there favorite team select what could be the next start, a new face of the franchise or even possibly the one that gives them a cup. This season has some remarkable up and coming prospects with what looks too be some young and promising rising stars any team in this first round looks to get a very solid rookie. Could this be a season where we see bottom team that have struggled finally get that opportunity to get that face of the franchise they desperately need and what there fans have been wanting? will we get too see a rookie and step in the VHL and be the game changer a team has needed? Its only soon enough we can see how these storylines pan out and I'm sure enough the community has some excitement for this to unravel. 
 
 
For rookie by the name of Milk Jugs being the 5'5 140 lbs short offensive minded puck moving defender will be on some scouts list to watch. Milk Jugs has been incredible been getting more notice as his career goes on from playing in the VHLM too now waiting to get his name called and too set sights on where his story could end up. what fan base will be rooting for him. where he will possibly move and call home. this defensemen has been gaining a ton of attention rapidly since making the post season with the San Diego Marlins too getting knocked out.
 
Milk Jugs has been climbing the ranks at a steady pace for this upcoming draft and has notably been a much better all around player and will look to increase his high level of play and too continue to develop into the star hes looking to be. Milk Jugs could be the new face of the franchise a team has desperately needed and will look to be a difference maker once his name is called upon and will look to try and battle out spoon to a VHL roster if possible. Milk Jugs may not be the most biggest player on or off the ice but his personality and style of play speaks volume for itself. Milk Jugs has stated hes ready for any new challenges ahead and has been waiting for this moment his whole life. When we talk about how a true hard  worker and motivated young induvial scouts point to this rising star.

Being ranked in the first round is nothing to be disappointed especially about how good a draft like this is looking to be. this draft compared to recent seasons may not quit be as deep but you still can't deny the talent pool is still good here. with the top five selections could be. 

Looking at the past season it was something that Jugs can build a lot of and for a draft season its not the way he wanted it to go. Milk Jugs has already set sight on this upcoming season and will look to improve to be the star hes scouted to be. the question is what team will take the risk on him? will he climb more before the draft or will he fall? 

Milk Jugs has been a force in the M with what shows signs of higher end offensive production this could be one of the better offensive players this draft and possibly could even say he has one of the higher projection for it as well. the fast speedy offensive minded defender will be something to keep an eye on for what team needs are and what team takes a risk on him. I think he could even fall out of the first round as the talent level is pretty even as of now so GM's will have to make a choice on team needs/ positions or best player available. This could be the hardest millstone for Jugs yet. he will continue this offseason training and to to back stronger then ever yet. his main goal now will be to bring in leadership with high upside for offensive skills. Milk Jugs will be the leader on and off the ice to bring in cup wins. after that feeling of getting knocked out of playoffs this past season he will without a doubt turn it into the motivation to being that stared leadership he was born to bring in 

As for the Marlins and his short period of time there Milk Jugs has thanked GM Thad for the dedication to the team and for the help needed to further his career. Milk Jugs would like to return but will play where he gets drafted to without an issue. The Marlins have some great management that Jugs has been thankful his hockey career and will cherish his time for years to come. The Marlins truly is a special team an any player thats played there can always say the same and remember it as home. Jugs is ready for the next chapter to his hockey career and cannot wait for what storylines are ahead and too the tough challenge's he's yet to face. But as competitor and a natural born winner he is ready without a question or doubt in mind.    
alright this is the wrap up as i will hopefully get better content from the drafts and what not. thanks for reading and good luck to all being drafted and to the GMs, don't sleep on Milk Jugs and see you soon

Great read as always!! 

Good Afternoon Everyone! It is the end of Season 77 and with that makes the moment I can start to max earn again!
 
The Marlins had a great season in S77 and a remarkable moment during the playoffs. We as a team were not projected to go far in the season and ended up exceeding many people’s expectations. That includes my own. As the AGM of the San Diego Marlins, I could not be happier with the team and the success we had this season! Going from last place last season to sixth this season was amazing!
 
As we move forward into the off-season and the draft, there are many reasons to get excited. The draft is expected to be rather small in comparison to past draft seasons. But even though the draft class is small, new stars will shine! What’s not to get excited about that?
 
You can expect the Marlins to grab a couple gems this draft for sure! We may be a young management team here in San Diego, but we will make our mark here in the VHLM. I strive to be the best AGM I can be and to make Aldwin Craig the best that he can be.
 
I want to give a final thank you to our team for a great season!

Welcome to the final VSN Draft Update! It has been fun covering the developing storylines of the draft and tracking the process of countless high level prospects. Hopefully you enjoy this final installment before VSN Scouting transitions into some more in-depth content ahead of the S78 Draft.
 

                                                                      POINTS             Player Name POS GP P     - David Tavau D 72 88     1 Anze Miklavz RW 72 87     1 Tui Sova D 72 82     -2 The Seabasstard C 72 81     4 Luc Tessier C 72 78     -1 Watson Stonebridge LW 72 74     -1 Zarek Kaczka D 72 74     -1 Sven Reikkinen D 72 70     1 Gregory Bates LW 72 69     New Hard Markinson D 72 63    
Our final update sees Anze Miklavz get so close to catching David Tavau, but to no avail. Luc Tessier also moved up quite a bit in the leaderboard, ending the season at 5th in the draft class. Overall, this was an impressive showing from the S78 class. Tessier seems to also be the playoff standout so far, sitting in the top 10 in points leaguewide.
 

    GOALS             Player Name POS GP G     - Anze Miklavz RW 72 42     2 Luc Tessier C 72 37     2 Gregory Bates LW 72 37     -2 The Seabasstard C 72 34     -2 Watson Stonebridge LW 72 33     1 Zarek Kaczka D 72 31     1 Tui Sova D 72 29     -2 Nils Tallinder C 72 29     New Alexander Rivers RW 72 26     -1 Sven Reikkinen D 72 24    
Anze Miklavz turns out to be the sole player to reach 40 goals as a S78 prospect, doing so with Mexico City. Tessier and Bates move up to 2nd and 3rd, each slotting in at 37 goals on the season. Zarek Kaczka also put up a remarkable 31 goals on the blueline in Las Vegas, despite getting the lowest minutes per game among everyone on this list. That is truly spectacular stuff from the young defender, and he could be a possible first round talent come draft time.
 

    HITS             Player Name POS GP HIT     - Nathan Powers D 72 202     - Hard Markinson D 72 198     - Mr Duk D 72 191     - Zarek Kaczka D 72 151     - Henri le Massif LW 72 145     1 Watson Stonebridge LW 72 134     -1 Mitchell Osborne D 69 130     New Drakon Zabastovka D 72 123     New Jannik Nylen D 72 120     -1 Anze Miklavz RW 72 118    
To finish the season off, Nathan Powers maintains his position at the top, crossing the 200 hit mark. Hard Markinson and Mr Duk trail him closely, each posting 190+ hits. Drakon Zabastovka also rounds out his defensive game, becoming a new entry on the hits list after being a staple in the leaderboard for shots blocked. Henri le Massif, Watson Stonebridge, and Anze Miklavz managed to make the list as the only forwards, proving to be relentless forecheckers for their respective teams.
 

    SHOTS BLOCKED             Player Name POS GP SB     - Tui Sova D 72 180     - Drakon Zabastovka D 72 141     - David Tavau D 72 119     - Nathan Powers D 72 112     - Sven Reikkinen D 72 111     - Mitchell Osborne D 69 107     - Arvid Johansson D 72 91     - David Micheal Berlinguette D 72 84     - Brodie Landry ll D 72 80     - Zarek Kaczka D 72 70    
Well it is no secret that I have been a big fan of what Kings defender Tui Sova has managed to accomplish in this statistic this season. I think it would be overkill if I spent another paragraph talking about it, so I will give a shoutout to some of the less recognized shot blockers of the S77 season. 
 
Drakon Zabastovka was an absolute horse this season, logging over 30 minutes a game and putting up 141 shots blocked on the season. Mitchell Osborne joined a few games late, but quickly acclimated to the pace of the VHLM. He solidified his position on this list and never let go of it, landing at 6th when it was all said and done. Given the 3 games that he missed, he could have possibly jumped up to 4th on this list. Interestingly enough, there was also no movement on this list from the last update, which shows model consistency from each of the names on this list.
 

    SAVE PERCENTAGE             Goalie Name GP W PCT     1 Bastian Greiss 39 13 0.892     -1 Aike van Giersbergen 71 36 0.891     - Jacob Rask 21 6 0.877     - Anime Protagonist 72 37 0.873     - Leroy Johnson 33 11 0.872    
It took some time to build up some competition in the crease, but it has finally arrived. We have multiple solid options in net for this draft, led by Aike van Giersbergen and Bastian Greiss. The other 3 on this list, as well as Tobias Reinhart, round out the goalie crop with some really nice depth. It will be interesting to see where the goaltenders land this season, considering the rather barren cupboards of the S77 Draft.
 

                                            TRAINING POINTS EARNED LAST WEEK           Name 4/25           Hard Markinson 22           Bastian Greiss 21           Milk Jugs 20           Alex Johnston 20           Leroy Johnson 20           Nathan Powers 19           Shane Lazeski 18           Nils Tallinder 17           Tui Sova 16           The Seabasstard 15           Anze Miklavz 14           Damien Salducci 13           Mikey Markov 13           Sven Reikkinen 12           Luc Tessier 12           Brock Hampton 12           Jaromir Lemiuex 12           Jannik Nylen 12           Aike van Giersbergen 10           Mr Duk 10        
This was a bit of a slower week for the S78 class in terms of TPE earning, but that is not to say that there were no standout performances. Alex Johnston had a huge week, earning 20 TPE and being named AGM of the Philadelphia Reapers. Congratulations to him, and best of luck in Philly! Hard Markinson led the way with his VHL fantasy win and VHFL results combining for 8 TPE, adding on to his base of 14. A couple of goalies got in the mix as well, with Johnson and Greiss each earning 20+ on the week. This draft certainly is showing much more promise in the crease than the last draft, and this is the proof. 
 

    CAPPED TRAINING POINTS EARNED LAST WEEK         Name Last Capped         Hard Markinson 12         Nils Tallinder 12         Tui Sova 12         Anze Miklavz 12         Milk Jugs 12         Alex Johnston 12         Nathan Powers 12         Bastian Greiss 12         The Seabasstard 10         Sven Reikkinen 10         Luc Tessier 10         Brock Hampton 10         Jaromir Lemiuex 10         Jannik Nylen 10         Aike van Giersbergen 8         Mr Duk 8         Leroy Johnson 8         Alexander Rivers 8         Otto Numminen 8         Zen Raider 8      
8 players capped out last week, nearly halving the total of the week prior. Despite being a bit of a poorer week for the S78 bunch, a positive sign was some first gens really stealing the show. Alex Johnston and Nathan Powers were both named VHLM AGMs recently, which should contribute very favourably to their already-rising draft stocks. They both joined Milk Jugs and Bastian Greiss as first gens who hit the maximum of 12 capped TPE last week.
 
Hard Markinson, Nils Tallinder, Tui Sova, Anze Miklavz, Milk Jugs and Bastian Greiss are the only players to have earned every capped TPE available to them up to this point.
 

          The presentation of the VHL Draft may be receiving some upgrades this season. Leading the movement is @Sonnet, who we sat down with for a quick interview in this installment of Scouting Spotlight.         You've been through the draft process as a VHLM GM and as a player as well. For you, what is the best part about the two VHL drafts?         Sonnet: I think personally, my favorite part is the sense of mystery knowing that any of the picks could end up being me. There's that tension right before the announcement is made, and you're weighing up your value against anything you've heard from the GM- maybe a few of them have expressed interest, but you're not quite sure if they're going to pull the trigger just yet. I remember that being a huge theme when I drafted Gustav into Houston, we actually hadn't spoken before that moment. I think that's why I tend to avoid or even ignore scouting questionnaires at times- I don't really want to know where I'm going. I like the suspense and subsequent surprise when my player finally gets the call.         Do you have a favourite memory from any of your drafts as a player or GM?         Sonnet: Of course I'm going to immediately contradict my last answer, but in true cliche'd fashion, I think my first VHL entry draft as a player is definitely my favorite draft memory. The league at the time only had one or two teams that needed a starting goaltender, and Helsinki (Quik) was the only person who really approached me with intent to put the franchise's fate in my hands. That s63 draft ended up defining the Titans- Borwinn, Crosby, and I were all taken and ended up staying with the team for our entire careers. I imagine it wasn't an easy decision to give a central role within a rebuilding franchise to an unproved first gen goalie, but getting that chance was something I'll always remember fondly when it comes to the draft each year.         Now, I've heard you have some stuff in the works to spice up the draft this season. Can we expect these ideas to come to fruition on the forums, on discord, or on the draft stream itself?         Sonnet: Everything I've been working on is related to the production and presentation of the streams, so be ready for something a bit more eye-popping when the s78 streams go live!        
Thank you to everyone for the support on this series! It has been fun to cover the production of the S78 class, and I can't wait to see how the draft unfolds. Keep an eye out for the S78 VSN Scouting Combine coming up soon; You will not want to miss it.

review: the storyline will need to continue throughout your career! well written good format i like how you built the hype for it and picked the names. hopefully we see this continue while you add on to your hit list! just a fun piece i enjoy and seeing the community react and get the buzz for it is always something i like myself it shows that people who read your work actually did and enjoyed it. 9/10 

review: well thank you for the award!! this is a great team to be on and i enjoyed every min of it! very cool awards and format ! thanks for everything Thad! your support has been great! 10/10 not biased lol i swear. i really enjoyed this 

review: like the style of article and format. i liked your opinion on why you ranked what logo where so we have a understanding what why and what your thoughts were. easy to follow along and i liked how you actually got all logos in instead of saying team names so that was cool too see. very well done. 8/10 

So some time ago this was a bit of a trend, only for like a week or two but it was a thing. As always I'm late to the party but I always wanted to do this, feel like my taste in art is quite different. Also I will purely be looking at the logos from an artistic perspective, not if they have some deeper meaning for the city or anything, it's gonna be purely on what I consider cool, what catches my eye the most, so without further ado, let's begin. And yes some of these logos are massive, had to resize a lot of them.
 
16th

Choosing last wasn't to easy but ultimately I had to go with the Titans logo, frankly I just find it boring. There's nothing really exciting about it, it's just a side shot of a spartan (or some kind of warrior), he doesn't have a game face on like he's about to go into a battle, there's nothing cool or eye catching about the helmet or armor in general. The only piece of it that I like is the blue on the top but otherwise the logo is like the solider, bored. If I were to offer any advice for a new piece I'd say do something with the helmet, a unique design, a reflection on it, stripes, more colors, just something. (Why is this one formatted differently to by the way? is it oldest logo in current use?)
 
15th

The Riga Reign, this logo just feels..... outdated I guess? I don't know just I find the quality of it generally doesn't hold up to the others. That's not to say it's terrible but I don't find it exciting to look at. It's a great foundation, using a lion and the orange color isn't something often used but it just needs an updated look, perhaps making it a bit more stylized is the answer but regardless I would like these bottom two logos to get remade, they just don't hold up compared to the rest for me.
 
14th
 

So to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of using a human or human-ish face for team logos, their just normally not very exciting or interesting to look at in my opinion. You can incorporate other elements to make it something special but otherwise not my favorite option. Now the Menace logo does it's job, it gives off a sense of intimidation and looks commanding. The gold crown draws your eyes to it to let you know this is where you should be looking, this is a king. The gold eyes are also a nice touch. I don't have much else to say really, it's just more of personal taste here.   
 
13th

The next four logos are what I would call the emblem logos, in that they don't have an animal or human tied to it.  These emblem logos can be pretty cool but also can be kinda boring, it's difficult because your trying to find something else for it to be based off of or gotta just come up with something out of thin air. The LA Stars do have a decent logo, definitely could be worse and I do believe they did a fairly good job coming up with something, but in the end it is just the words LA with a star. There's no way around it, it's just straight forward.
 
12th

The New York Americans have a very American logo, no surprise there. there are stars on the top, you got blue and red and some stripes. I rate this one higher simply for being in the shape of a shield, you have the dueling hockey sticks, a puck and the word NY. It's effective and I do like it.
 
11th

Ah the Dynamo, a team I totally don't have rough feelings towards. Regardless though I didn't let that affect my ranking of they're logo, it may still be in the bottom half but that doesn't mean it's bad, honestly I feel the VHL has plenty great logos. I don't know anything about HC Davos but the choice of the circle shape, the shape of a puck, and along with the mountains, hockey sticks, the purple sky, and the words on the outside, it all comes along very well.
 
10th

The London United logo is somewhat similar to the Americans logo, mainly just the shield shape and the blue and red. In my opinion though they've improved on it, the buildings, the bridge, the star, I don't know what they represent but it all looks really good together. The swords behind the shield are the icing on the cake, it makes you think the team has a strong defense and offense.
 
9th
 

These next three logos are interesting, they're both on the borderline of being in what I would consider the top tier but for one reason or another they just fall a little short for me. For the Warsaw Predators they got a great logo, great choice of colors, love the aggressive look and the overall style of it. So what's holding this one back? well it may sound silly but it's the nose or front of the face, something about it just looks a little derpy. I love the gritting teeth a lot but ahead of that it just..... looks off to me. Again I still love it but it just falls a little short.
 
8th
 

So the Seattle bears logo is another one that seems a bit dated to me, just the style of it seems a bit older compared to a lot of the other logos in the VHL. That said though I think it still holds up very well. Look at those white eyes, those claws, a lot of dark shading around the bear, the cuts across the word "Bears" it's all very threatening. That said again some aspects of it feel a little old or just not as awesome as others, I also don't know if the background piece really does much for me and the tan color is alright I guess but I think you could do better. Still love it though.
 
7th

So if this was the old "derpy horse" logo this would be down near the bottom, probably in my "deserves a revision or remake logo" but whoever did the piece did a fantastic job remaking this logo. However this still doesn't crack my top tier for team logos, it's damn close but it just doesn't make it for me. I expect some people to totally disagree with me but I just can't find a horse to be epic or awesome, and just isn't an animal that inspires fear. It makes sense for the name "Wranglers" and I can't fight that. Ignoring that though I really can't find anything wrong or that I don't like about this logo, the white and red is great, the hoof looks fantastic and the shading is great. Maybe it'll grow on me overtime and move up.
 
6th

The Vancouver Wolves, we are now in what I consider the best of the best, or the top tier to put it. So kinda like the last logo this one is kinda just tittering on the edge for me in terms of being in or out of my top tier, but I will put it in the top. The logo feels a bit aged like the Bears and Reign logo but still holds up very well, I know it's pretty simple all things considered but there is beauty in simplicity. It's just a wolf howling and black and grey and white are the main colors. I would love to see this logo get a revision just purely for the potential of how good it could look, but like I said they could hold onto to this one for a few more seasons.
 
5th

So you could say there's bias here since my player plays for them, and you know what? You may be right but that doesn't change the fact that the Toronto Legion have a fantastic logo! The font for the word "Legion, the shade of blue, the shape of the bird, the simplicity of it all is wonderful. I really don't have much more to say here because there isn't a lot going on with this logo, it's just great!
 
4th

The Chicago Phoenix, in some ways I can't help but feel they were slightly inspired by the legion logo, it's just because they've both gone for a full bird shot from head to tail feathers, the main difference here being that this bird is looking straight forward and not to the side. That said this one has a lot more detail in it, looking at the wings, face and chest, the tail feathers, there's a lot more going on with this logo and I love it. Look at those red eyes with a steel color beak, this bird is ready to murder you. Also the very clean "Phoenix" text is super clean and nice to look at alongside the Orange and red of everything else. 
 
3rd

Phantoms probably have what I would call the scariest team logo, black, grey, purple all contribute to that. Of course you have some blue in there as well, it's honestly a nice contrast of colors, the blue and purple stands out so nicely from the black and grey. The purple eyes to in the black is something I love to death. Whatever this human-ish type creature is, it's awesome and inspires a lot of intimidation and fear. The spikes around the neck, (or whatever they're supposed to be) the wings and even the even the team name in front. Truly an excellent logo and I hope they use it for a long time.
 
2nd

NIGHTHAWKS!! Damn I love this logo, just so vicious looking, so fear inducing, so aggressive, this logo is legendary! This logo could of easily been number one but I'm a little biased toward the creature used in it. Still everything from the different shades of green, the expression, the font of the team name, just even the overall shape. I hope they hold onto this one for a long time.
 
1st

The DRAGONS!! Simply put it's a god damn dragon, and it's hard to beat a dragon. The colors are fantastic, the expression is great, the tail in front of the text, just the style of whole piece is a masterpiece. I am personally more of a fan of western style dragons but even so it's great. Totally not biased about this at all.
 
Anyway hope ya'll enjoyed, this is my opinion again, I wasn't trying to be objective about this, it was purely based on my own tastes for art and what I consider awesome.

ah yes the Marlins have played the first two games vs a tough opponents in the Miami team however both teams did mange to score a win and the series is tied at one a piece and this was a tough match up vs both teams but the two teams have come to play. Milk Jugs continues his point production here in post season and has found himself growing in all areas of the ice. He's growing his role more and more on the ice and off with becoming such a threat for any team his leadership skills has spoken to some volume and he will continue to support in the San Diego Marlins club as there run hopefully continues after tomorrow but either way the better team wins here and both teams have done a good job this season. The battle for these two teams has pushed both sides to there limit and the type of play has been nothing but amazing for the fans to watch as its been an absolute war out there. either way both teams have to be happy with there results this season. as we continue to watch closely we will keep an eye on the rising star prospect Milk Jugs whos gone out and has performed so well for his team and will look to rise his draft stock a bit more in coming weeks. anyways until next time have a good and healthy night as we wait for the results for tomorrow have a good week!  

The San Diego Marlins have now been seeing some better results past few weeks and the team itself has done a really good job here at recruitment and overall earning. the final stretch has been something that this team has been getting more excited about since not only are they winning and playing better as a team but also seeing dirty old YUCK-ON underneath them in the VHLM standings. General Manger the Boss Mr. Sales has been on a mission too always be better then the dejuiced bum that's YUCK-ONS General manger. For one player on the Marlins Milk Jugs has been very vocal on making sure there net will always be filled with puck and will always come out on to. The best yet is to come out of Jigs as he will look to still prove whys he's the top defensemen in the league and will showcase his skillset. If Juice and YUCK-ON think there better just take a look at the standings currently. i mean the Marlins is the best team and as of late we've been unstoppable. The Marlins have won the battle but the war is far from over my friend, but for now we will let the standings do the talking.

please note this is war between YUCK-ON and the dejuiced scrub. we will see you later but for now we got big games to play in called... playoffs which only the good teams play in unlike YUCK-ON. the Marlins are only getting started for there post season run!
