Hey, so I decided to do a little press conference, you just have to answer these six questions and you can claim 2 TPE, really easy! 1. What are you thoughts about the two players (The Phantom of the VHL and Ahsoka Tano) we acquired this off-season? 2. What are your thoughts about the work of your GM (me!) since you joined the team? 3. What are your expectations about your season personnally? 4. What are your expectations about the team's season in S99? 5. Who do you think is going to have the biggest impact in the team, and why? 6. Who do you think will win the Cup in the NHL?

The European Conference is pretty weird right now as almost half the teams are in a rebuilding stage and only one team has the roster of a real Cup contender. The other teams are in between or in the direction of being a Cup contender, but are not ready yet. My predictions are only based on what I think the standings will look like at the end of the season and are not based on any stats or calculations I made. 1. HC Davos Dynamo The first place is in my opinion really easy to give as the Dynamo are the only team in the European Conference that can call themself a real contender right now. With players like Antonia Bucatini @CowboyinAmerica, Felicia Hardy @JCarson and Jorgen Lovstrom @Pifferfish, Davos is definitely the best team in the European Conference and finishing anything below first in the standings is going to be a huge disappointment. 2. Prague Phantoms Even if the Prague Phantoms are in my opinion not a Cup contender yet, they are really close to being one of the best team in the league. Indeed, they are maybe missing a 3rd or 4th forward and a good 2nd defenseman to complete the defense. In the meantime, Erik Thorvaldsson @Tetricide and Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher are both going to be really important offensively and defensively. 3. London United With the addition of The Phantom of the VHL @Hogan and Ahsoka Tano @Aimee, the London United are slowly, but surely starting to become a Cup contender. With all their young players, they will be one of the best team in the league in a season or two. 4. Moscow Menace The Moscow Menace are a really weird team as they only have three forwards and I don't really know what to expect of that team. They still have really good players like Maverick Goncalves @leandrofg and Jillian Woods @jacobcarson877, so I still think that Moscow can finish in the top three of the Conference if they acquire two or three forwards. 5. Malmo Nighthawks The Malmo Nighthawks had a pretty weird off-season as they signed Gianfranco Del Rocco @Victor and Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard, the two biggest free agent of the off-season. Before these signings, Malmo was in the run for the last place in the league, but now, they could make the playoffs. 6. Helsinki Titans The next three teams are the three teams in the European Conference that won't make the playoffs, but I am still not sure of their place in the standings. With seven forwards and only one defenseman, the Titans definitely have a weird roster. 7. Warsaw Predators The Warsaw Predators are continuing their rebuild and are starting to see some young players entering the roster as Zak Trokker @Peace and Peter Venkman @Josh are going to play their rookie seasons with the Predators in S99. 8. Riga Reign Finally, after five really good seasons and a Continental Cup in S95, the Riga Reign are starting a rebuild and will without any surprise finish at the bottom of the Conference and at the bottom of the league. SO thank you for reading, I will maybe probably do the North American Conference in the next couple of days.

Was supposed to be in the other trade, but completely forgot, so thanks again @Banackock

Thanks Bana for the trade talk, easy as usual! and welcome to London @Hogan and @Aimee!! We are going to have a lot of fun in the next couple of season!! Locker room link: https://discord.gg/yyRw4Qr4

1. I think it is a little bit of everything as we scored only one goal in the last two games, but I can personnally say that I wasn't really good in the playoffs, so I take the blame a little bit. 2. I definitely think that another member in the managment office can never hurt, so I hope to see what you all will do in the off-season. 3. Train and getting ready for my rookie season in the VHL. 4. You are without a doubt going to be really good next season and I don't think you are going to have any weakness, maybe another defenseman to complete your first pair, but other than that I think you are already good to go. 5. I didn't really have a preference, but I feel like Houston deserved to win as they clearly had the better team. 6. Dallas are in my opinion going to be very dangerous and Florida is scary too, but since I am canadian, I am rooting for the Oilers!

@slothfacekilla Welcome everyone, It is finally time for the best moments of the season, the PLAYOFFS!! Yesterday was the start of the playoffs in the VHL, in the VHLM and in the NHL, so we are going to see a lot of hockey playoffs in the next couple of weeks. Once again, we had a really interesting regular season with a lot of surprises and we hope to see even more in the playoffs. Quarter-final #1 - Houston Bulls (1) vs Ottawa Lynx (8) Regular season series: HOU wins 7-0-0. I think it goes without saying that this series will be over in 4 games and nobody will really be surprised. Indeed, the Houston Bulls finished first in the standings with a record of 59 wins, 8 losses and 5 losses in overtime for a total of 123 points in 72 games. Led by Gingy @MexicanCow123 and Cardinal Copia @Beketov offensively and by Dog Jagr @koty_k and Feka Ohi Kau @Hacob defensively, the team is looking really good and will be really difficult to beat in the playoffs. In the net, Bartholomew Lorequavius @jaypc8237 will also be a really important player for the Houston Bulls in this playoff run. On the other side, if Ottawa wants to win a game, Owen two @do3bo1 and Kyle Evans @Kyle Evans will have to play on top of their head. VSN Prediction: Houston wins in 4 games. Quarter-final #2 - Philadelphia Reapers (2) vs Las Vegas Aces (7) Regular season series: PHI wins 6-1-1. Just like the other series, the series between the Philadelphia Reapers and the Las Vegas Aces is going to be a short one. The Philadelphia Reapers finished the regular season second with 54 wins, 13 losses and 5 overtime losses for 113 points in 72 games. After finishing 3rd, 4th and 5th in points with 100, 90 and 85 points respectively, ALTO RED @alto_red, Joseph Poole @Itz_Viperz and Adam Joy @MrMom will have a lot of responsabilities in the playoffs as they will be the top players for the Reapers for the rest of the playoffs. Philadelphia acquired the goalkeeper Toby Bob @Baby Boomer at the trade deadline and he will without a doubt have a positive impact with the team. VSN Prediction: Philadelphia wins in 5 games. Quarter-final #3 - Halifax 21st (3) vs Saskatoon Wild (7) Regular season series: HFX wins 5-1-1. This series should be a little bit more interesting than the first two as the Saskatoon Wild should be able to put up a fight against the Halifax 21st. In 72 games this season, the 21st won 47 games, lost 18 games in regulation and lost 7 games in overtime for 101 points and the Wild recorded 34 wins, 33 losses and 7 losses in overtime for 73 points in 72 games. In offense, Hater Tottingham @Trunkxolotl will have to be the leader of this team and defensively Chad Powers @Big_Dyl will need to be a big wall in front of the net. At the trade deadline, the Saskatoon Wild decided to trade their best players to acquire draft picks in the upcoming drafts and prospects. Because of this decision, the Wild will have some difficulties in the playoffs this season, but it was definitely the best decision for the future. VSN Prediction: Halifax wins in 5 games. Quarter-final #4 - Mexico City Kings (4) vs Mississauga Hounds (5) Regular season series: MEX wins 4-3-1. The series between the Mexico City Kings and the Mississauga Hounds is probably going to be the only interesting series of the first round as either team could win this series. The Mexico City Kings and the Mississauga Hounds finished the season with 44 wins and 96 points and 38 wins and 84 points respectively. The Kings will be led by Ryan Mantz @Rkhockey9, Ronan Amnon @Breeze837 and Peter Venkman @Josh and the Hounds will have to count on Sidney Sheppard @GoodLeftUndone and Kurt Bachmann @Blutch to lead the team offensively and defensively. The difference in my opinion will be in the net as Pepe Silvia @STZ will probably stole a game or two in this series. VSN Prediction: Mexico City wins in 6 games. Semi-final #1 - Houston Bulls (1) vs Mexico City Kings (4) Regular season series: HOU wins 6-2-2. This first semi-final is going to be pretty interesting as the winners of the Prime Minister's Cup will face the Mexico City Kings. The Houston Bulls won the season series between the two teams with 6 wins, 2 losses and 2 losses in overtime for 14 points in a possibility of 20. I believe that the Mexico City Kings can give the Houston Bulls a hard time in this series, but at the end of the day, the Bulls are in my opinion too good for the Kings. This series won't be over in four games as Mexico City will do everything they can to win, but it won't go in seven games either. VSN Prediction: Houston wins in 6 games. Semi-final #2 - Philadelphia Reapers (2) vs Halifax 21st (3) Regular season series: PHI wins 8-1-0. After two easy first rounds for the Philadelphia Reapers and the Halifax 21st, it is now going to be way more difficult to win this second round. Indeed, the two teams are almost identical on paper and I really think that this series could go either way. The only thing that can give an advantage to a team is the season series winners as the Philadelphia Reapers won it 8 games to 1. The Reapers completely dominated the 21st during the regular season and even if the playoffs and the regular season are two different things, I would still give the advantage to the Philadelphia Reapers because of this reason. VSN Prediction: Philadelphia wins in 6 games. Founder's Cup Final - Houston Bulls (1) vs Philadelphia Reapers (2) Regular season series: HOU wins 4-2-1. In the final of the Founder's Cup playoffs the Houston Bulls will face the Philadelphia Reapers, the top two teams of the regular season will face each other in a best of 7 series to determine the winner of this season's Founder's Cup. It will once again be a really interesting series as the two teams are pretty similar on paper even if I give a little edge to Houston. Both teams could win it, but I think that the Houston Bulls will come up on top. VSN Prediction: Houston wins the Founder's Cup in 7 games. That’s all for me, thanks everyone for reading and I wish you all great playoffs! See you in the next VSN article! P.S. the article was written before the sims of sunday the 20th.

come on man give some credit to London, at least give us a win please

Congrats Ricer!!

FINALLY!!!! great name, you didn't disappoint!

Well Well Well!

@courtjestr19 Welcome everyone, We are now three days before the trade deadline and it is already more exciting than last season. Indeed, just a quick reminder that we did not even see a single trade at the trade deadline last season in the VHLM. Some people even called it one of the worst trade deadline in the history of the league. However, this season is completely different as three trades were already made and we can except a couples more before 3PM Monday. Three monster trades Houston Bulls and San Diego Marlins Two days ago, the Houston Bulls acquired one of the most coveted players of this trade deadline. Indeed, Cardinal Copia @Beketov is playing his last season in the VHLM before going to the VHL and will without a doubt be an important player for the Bulls in the playoffs. In return, the Bulls gave Nick Sansoe Jr @Tipskid97, their 5th round pick in S100 and their 6th round pick in S100. Sansoe Jr is a good prospect that will help the Marlins for another one or two seasons. Philadelphia Reapers and Miami Marauders This trade was a classic one for one as the Philadelphia Reapers traded their 1st round pick in S100 for the centerman Danny Ross @Spartakiller2. Ross is already a veteran in the league and he could maybe play another season in the VHLM and if it happens, Philadelphia really won that trade. On the other hand, if Danny Ross goes to the VHL next season, the trade becomes a little bit more equal, but I would give the edge to Miami this time as a 1st round pick in S100 as a lot of value. Houston Bulls and Mississauga Hounds To be completely honest, I am not entirely familiar with the rules about the number of draft picks in the VHLM, but I feel like this trade is about that. The Houston Bulls sent their 1st in S99 and their 4th in S100 and in exchange, the Mississauga Hounds traded their 2nd in S99 and their 3rd in S99. There isn't a lot to say about this trade, we just have to wait to see who each team drafted with their picks. #1 Houston Bulls Current record: 37-6-2 Current situation: Buyer The Houston Bulls are currently in a good position, they are first in the league, they won their last eight games, they only lost one game in their last eighteen games and everything seems to go perfectly. They already did a couple of trades to improve the team as they acquired Cardinal Copia recently and Dog Jagr @koty_k and Gingy @MexicanCow123 at the beginning of the season. I know I said that they were buyers, but if I was the GM of the Houston Bulls I wouldn't do anything else at this point and I would just keep the team like that. #2 Philadelphia Reapers Current record: 35-8-3 Current situation: status quo The Philadelphia Reapers are in a fun, but also a weird place right now. Objectively, I don't think anyone thought that the Reapers would be second in the standings at this point of the season, but here they are. In addition, almost every player on the team will be back next season, so again if I was the GM I wouldn't do anything this season and I would wait for next season when the team will be more ready. #3 Halifax 21st Current record: 25-13-7 Current situation: Buyer The Halifax 21st are almost in the same situation as the Philadelphia Reapers as almost everyone will come back next season, but the difference is that Halifax is going to lose some key players this off-season, that's why I would try to improve the team a little bit to compete this season. Their defense is looking good, but their offense could use the help of one or two other forwards to solidify the top 6. #4 Mexico City Kings Current record: 25-15-6 Current situation: Buyer With one of the best goalie in the league and probably the best defense in the league, Mexico City are a little bit disappointing this season. They are doing good as they are fourth in the league and one of the best team defensively, but they are struggling a little bit offensively. If they want to be the best team in the league, the Kings will have to acquire a first line forward that will help the offense for the rest of the season. #5 Mississauga Hounds Current record: 25-16-5 Current situation: Buyer/Seller The Mississauga Hounds are in a really tricky situation. I don't think they have the roster to compete with the best teams in the league, but they are not really far either. On the other hand, their best players are going to play in the VHL next season, so they have to do something with it. They honestly could do both, but they have to choose, they can't do nothing. They either buy to try to compete or they sell their best players to compete next season, but if they decide to keep the team like that, they won't win this season and will lose their players for nothing. #6 Saskatoon Wild Current record: 25-17-4 Current situation: Seller Almost in the same situation as the Mississauga Hounds, the Saskatoon Wild are in my opinion missing a little bit more pieces to compete with the top teams this season. With only five forwards and two defensemen, the team is a little bit short staffed and should consider selling their best players before they lose them for nothing at the end of the season. #7 Las Vegas Aces Current record: 18-21-6 Current situation: Seller The situation is pretty easy for the Las Vegas Aces as they objectively won't compete for the Cup this season, so the only other option is to sell. Since Mathias Gunnarsson @ThatCanadian is probably going to play in the VHL next season, the Aces could try to get something in return, but other than that, there's not a lot to do for them. #8 Ottawa Lynx Current record: 18-25-3 Current situation: Seller In my opinion, the trade deadline is going to be pretty quiet in Ottawa this season and there is not a lot to do. They are not going all in this season, so no need to trade for something and everyone on the team is coming back next season, so no need to trade anyone either. The only thing they can do is to keep their playoffs spot and maybe hope to cause a surprise in the playoffs. #9 San Diego Marlins Current record: 11-33-2 Current situation: Seller The San Diego Marlins already traded the only player they really had to trade in Cardinal Copia and now the only thing they have to do is wait for next season. If they have a good off-season, the Marlins are going to be really dangerous next season. #10 Miami Marauders Current record: 9-31-5 Current situation: Seller Just like the San Diego Marlins, the Miami Marauders already did what they had to do before the trade deadline when they traded Danny Ross. Now, there's not anything else to do and they just have to wait for the off-season to begin. That’s all for me, thanks everyone for reading. I wish you all a good end of the season and I'll see you in another VSN article soon!

@ace_five_ Welcome everyone, It is now the beginning of the third season since the VHLE was killed and I wanted to take another look at it. I remember when the commissioners announced the end of the VHLE, it got a lot of people talking. Some were really really happy to see it defunct, some were disappointed, but after the two-three weeks of hype, it has fallen in the oblivion. This is why I wanted to have a little bit of fun and tried to do a top 10 of the best forwards of the history of the VHLE. I hope I didn’t forget anyone, if I did let me know. Honorable mention: John Richards @John Cimarno: 360 GP, 135 G, 154 A, 289 P, Renaissance Cup S90, Aldwin Craig S89 Finn Davis @M1nT: 432 GP, 124 G, 238 A, 362 P Jlloyoid Blloyoiderson @Cxsquared: 216 GP, 111 G, 148 A, 259 P Matt Rooster @hcrooster96: 471 GP, 148 G, 245 A, 393 P Ray withers @Ray Withers: 572 GP, 169 G, 255 A, 424 P, Renaissance Cup S84 #10 Tyrece the beast (COL) @beanhead420 To start the top 10 today, we have Tyrece the beast, a centerman who played his entire career with the Cologne Express between S92 and S95. In this period of time, the beast recorded 92 goals, 157 assists and 249 points in 274 games. He kept a differential of +77 and gave 468 hits. He also did really good in the playoffs as he accumulated 11 goals and 29 points in 38 games. On top of that, Tyrece the beast won the Renaissance Cup with the Cologne Express two times, in S94 and in S95. The Express was nothing less than a dynasty in the late 80's and the early 90's and Tyrece was a really important player for the time he played there. #9 Lorenzo Cobberson (OSL, COL) @Hendrix Cobberson For the second player of our top 10, we have another Cologne Express player. Cobberson started his VHLE's career in S85 with the Oslo Storm where he only scored 15 points in 72 games during the regular season. He however won his first Renaissance Cup this season. Lorenzo Cobberson then got traded to the Cologne Express and this is where his production exploded. Indeed, he recorded 254 points in 216 games while maintaining a +/- of 109. He also won a Cup with Cologne in S87 after scoring 9 points in 11 games. #8 Alexander Stroheim (IST, OSL) @Stroheim Alexander Stroheim is the only player in the top 10 who played only three seasons in the VHLE. He played a season and a half with the Istanbul Red Wolves and another season and a half with the Oslo Storm where he won a Renaissance Cup in S88. During these playoffs, Alexander Stroheim had 16 points in 13 games to help his team win. In 216 games with the two teams, Stroheim scored 114 goals and added 154 assists for a total of 268 points. He also had a differential of +41. #7 Kobe Johnson (GEN, VAS) @Vkobe-v Kobe Johnson was drafted by the Geneva Rush at the end of the second round, 15th overall in the S86 draft. He then started his career in S87 with Geneva where he played the next three seasons. Johnson finished his VHLE's career with the Vasteras Iron Eagles where he played two seasons, to make it five total. In 360 games in the VHLE, Kobe Johnson recorded 146 goals and 180 assists for a total in 326 points. He also kept a really impressive +112 while adding 506 hits and 80 shots blocked. #6 Aldwin Craig (STO) @Eldredman Aldwin Craig played the entirety of his career with the team that drafted him 6th overall in the first ever VHLE Entry Draft in S80, the Stockholm Vikings. He played five seasons with the team where he scored 99 goals, 221 assists and 320 points in 360 games. Craig won the Renaissance Cup with Stockholm in S81 and he scored 7 points in 9 games in these series. He also won the trophy of the best two-way forward of the VHLE in S81, that would later on be named after him, the Aldwin Craig Trophy. #5 Maxwell Mathias (OSL, VAS, GEN, COL, ROM, BRA) @Underclass_Hero We are now getting into the top 5 and the one that is starting it is the third forward with the most point in the history of the VHLE, Maxwell Mathias. During his career in the VHLE, Mathias played for six different teams and he made the Renaissance Cup final two times, in S84 and in S85, but he lost both times in six games. In 494 games, Maxwell Mathias scored 127 goals and added 320 assists for 447 points. To that, he added 872 hits and 724 shots blocked. #4 Al Land (STO, COL) @Big Dee Al Land started his career with the Stockholm Vikings in S85, but he only played one season there before going to Cologne where he played five seasons, in S86, S88, S89, S90 and S91. With the two teams, Land recorded 172 goals and 207 assists for a total of 379 points in 432 games. Al Land is also the forward with the most Renaissance Cup tied with BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson. Indeed, he won three Renaissance Cup and what's even more impressive is that he won them back to back to back, in S89, S90 and S91. #3 Adeline Delle Donne (BRA, COL, VAS, OSL) @Dtayl Adeline Delle Donne is the second forward with the most points in the history of the VHLE and third all positions combined. She played for four different teams during her career and scored 194 goals, 296 assists and 490 points in 572 points. Delle Donne was also pretty good in the playoffs as she won two Renaissance Cup, the first one in S83 with the Bratislava Watchmen and the second one in S88 with the Oslo Storm. S87 was a good season for her as she won the Aldwin Craig Trophy. #2 Sebastien dokis (GEN, STO, VAS, OSL) @Sebastien Sebastien dokis is without a doubt a top 5 VHLE player of all-time all positions combined as he finished his career with 151 goals, 279 assists and 430 points in 418 games. S87 was by far dokis' best season as he finished with 48 goals and 115 points in 72 games and he also won the Ronan Lavelle Trophy awarded to the most valuable player during the regular season. Sebastien dokis won his only Renaissance Cup the season before in S86 with the Oslo Storm. #1 BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson (COL, ROM, BRA) @JardyB10 I don't even think that this is a debate, but BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson was and will always be the best player the VHLE ever saw. He is almost always 1st in every offensive categories. He is by far first in goals (303), second in assists (347), first in points (650), fourth in +/- (+108), by far first in shots (3678), first among the forwards in hits (1047), first in game winning goals (54), second in power play goals (70), second in short handed goals (4) and first in hat tricks (9). During his career, BjornaBjorkson won the Renaissance Cup three times, all with the Cologne Express, in S87, S94 and in S95. He also won the Florida Man Trophy in S88 with the Rome Gladiators. That’s all for me, thanks everyone for reading. I wish you all a good end of the season and I'll see you in another VSN article soon!

Tonight was the beginning of my 4th seasons as the GM of the London United and I feel like we are ready to take the next step and compete for a place in the playoffs this season. We have a really good group in the locker room I know we are going to make great things soon. C - Alexandros Mograine @sliceruser Once again, Alexandros Mograine will be the captain of the London United this season. It was a no-brainer for me as he was part of the team since the beginning of this adventure. We are really happy to have him on the team and we are confident that he will have another really good season. A - Alagsantere Groenvold @VattghernCZ After a really good rookie season, we are really excited to see what Groenvold will do this season for the team. Alagsantere is a really important member of the locker room and they make everyone feel welcome when they join the London United. A - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan Finally, we have Drosmis Sarkanis who finished on the All-VHL rookie team last season because of his incredible season. Sarkanis is also an important player in the locker room and we are really glad to have him on the team. Congratulations to everyone and let's goo London!!

Hey welcome back!!!
