Welcome everyone, Rome needs an AGM and here are the things you need to do to be a good AGM: -Be active in the locker room -Do the press conference every weeks (monday if possible) -Help me with the team management (trade, signing, lines, etc.) -Rome has a lot of draft picks in the upcoming draft and I will need help to scout all the players available -And everything else you think may help the team Good luck everyone and maybe see you soon!

What about the points by a defensemen in one season?

Welcome everyone, After presenting you Matthew McCagg and Hannibal Barca in the last two episodes, this week I will talk about Mac Dre @MacDre. Mac was drafted 22nd overall in the third round of the S87 VHLE entry draft ny the Houston Bulls. In 96 games in his VHLM career with the Ottawa Lynx (29) and the Houston Bulls (69), he scored 40 goals and added 42 assists for a total of 82 points and a +35 differential. Last season, with Ottawa, Dre lost in the final of the Founder's Cup to the San Diego Marlins 5 points in 18 games. Since the beginning of the season, Mac Dre has shown a lot of interesting things and that he can be a really important asset to a team. Houston is going to make the playoffs and he is defenitly going to help them go far and maybe even win the Cup. The american winger is expected to play in the VHLE next season with the Rome Gladiators. Thanks everyone, see you next week and let's go Gladiators!!!

Welcome everyone, We are back for the second episode of me telling you all how good the Rome Gladiator's propects pool is. This week I will present you Hannibal Barca @DreMin15. Hannibal was drafted 6th overall last season by the Rome Gladiators and before the start of the season, him and the team decided that it was best for him to play one more year in the VHLM before joining the VHLE. In his two season in the M, Barca has 79 goals and 104 assists for a total of 183 points in 130 games. He also cumulates a differential of +21. Hannibal Barca will definitivly be a really good player for the Rome Gladiators and help the team have a great season. Rome's prospect was drafted by the Warsaw Predators 12th overall during the S87 VHL entry draft and he will play for them in two or three seasons, depending the length of his stay with the Rome Gladiators. Thanks everyone, see you next week and let's go Gladiators!!!

Game recap #254 A battle at the top between the first team in the league, the Mexico City Kings, and the third one, the Ottawa Lynx, ended by the underdog winning the game 4-3. Both FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY Analfist (2G, 1A) and Gregger McKeggegger (3A) finished the game with 3 points for Ottawa and with the first and second star of the game respectively. Fun fact, the Ottawa Lynk scored their 4 goals in power play and they finished the game with 57,14% (4/7) efficiency. This is the reason why even if they won, zero player of the Ottawa Lynx finished the game with a better differential than 0

claim week 2/2

Welcome everyone, This week is THEME WEEK, and the theme is rivalries. I read a lot of media spot and there are some really good ones, but (maybe I missed it) I did not see anyone talking about a rivalry in a whole draft class. Almost everyone can agree that S88 is and will be a really really good draft class. Indeed, there a lot of good players and the S88 VHL entry draft will be interesting to watch. In this media spot, I will not do a mock draft, but I will present you all the best players of this cohort in term of TPE. Jacob Stone – D @scoop With already 335 TPE, Jacob Stone is by far the player with the most TPE. Before the S87 VHLM dispersal draft announced that he was going to skip the M and play immediately in the VHLE. With the number of TPE he currently has, I would not be surprised if plays in the VHL next season. Stone has 19 goals and 37 assists for 56 points in 51 games with the Stockholm Vikings. He is sixth among all the defenseman in the league in for the number of points (56) and for the number of shots blocked (122). Jacob is earning at the very fast pace, and he will logically get drafted first in the upcoming VHL entry draft. FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY Analfist – RW @STZ FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY Analfist currently has 297 TPE and they will probably be the second player to hit the 300 TPE among this draft class. Even if Analfist could have easily skipped the M too, they decided to stay in the VHLM for one last season and the Ottawa Lynx decided to draft them 1st overall. If they continue to earn like that, FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY will also probably play in the VHL next season. With the Lynx, they currently have 33 goals and 38 assists for a total of 71 points in 50 games. They also have a differential of +33 which places them seventh in the league in this category. BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson – RW @JardyB10 Bjorka is the second and last player to have made the jump in the VHLE this season. They currently have 282 TPE and they play with the stacked Cologne Express. The Express are currently first in the VHLE, and they have a really good forwards group, so Bjorka does not have the ice time they would have had in the VHLM. This is why they only have 10 goals and 9 assists for a total of 19 points in 53 games. This is a difficult season for them and maybe they will drop some spot in the next draft. However, I am sure they are going to have a brilliant career. Bobby Bob – D @Baby Boomer Bobby Bob (my personal favourite) was drafted 5th overall by the Houston Bulls and he probably is one of the biggest steal of the S87 VHLM dispersal draft (lol). Bob currently has 274 TPE with 17 goals and 62 assists for a total of 79 points in 51 games. Bobby is first in assists in the league in points among the defenseman and even in the top 10 in the league for the number of points. He also has 11 power play goals which places him 3rd in the league in this category. Just like all the other players above him, if Bobby Bob continues to earn TPE at this pace, he will probably play immediately in the VHL next season. Merome Dilson – G @MexicanCow123 There are a lot of really good goalies in the VHL at the moment and Merome Dilson is the going to have to work hard if he wants to be a starter in the VHL one day. For now, Dilson just got traded to the Houston Bulls and with Bobby Bob the Bulls have only one goal: the Cup. In 62 games in the VHLM, Merome has 41 wins and 15 losses and 6 losses in overtime with a save percentage of 0.904% and an average of goals against of 2.77. Since he is a goalie, Merome will probably play one season in the VHLE before making the jump in the VHL. Mark Calaway – D @Beketov Mark Calaway is already the third defenseman of this draft class, but I am really worried about him. Indeed, drafted 2nd overall by the Halifax 21st,Calaway has 21 goals and 35 assists for a total of 56 points in 50 games. He is also 4th in points among the defenseman and 3rd in power play goal in the league with 11. Mark will probably play one more season in the VHLE, but he could make an early start and play as soon as next season in the VHL. If I had to choose one player that is going be a comparison of Bobby Bob, it would be him. It will be really interesting to follow both careers. Jasper Davis – C @Josh Finally, we have Jasper Davis, the 8th overall picks of the San Diego Marlins. He currently has 28 goals and 23 assists for a total of 51 games in 51 games. Davis is the only center of the draft class that will be drafted in the top 10, so he will probably move up a couple spot if a team really needs a center. Jasper has “only” 248 TPE, so he will almost certainly play in the VHLE next season, before playing in the big league in two seasons. I would like to finish this media spot with some honorable mentions. First, to Moritz Stauffer @GoodLeftUndone who currently has 238 TPE and plays with the Halifax 21st. Second, to Gregger Mckeggegger @TheNeonShaman (218 TPE) that plays with the Ottawa Lynx. Finally, to Francesco Mancini @GioSivo, a first gen, who has 195 TPE and plays with the San Diego Marlins. This draft class is a really good one and we can all agree with that, but what might be more difficult to guess is when and where these guys are going to get drafted. So, who do you think is going to get drafted in the top 3?

Welcome everyone, A couple of episodes ago, I talked about the big prospects pool the Rome Gladiators have and in the next couple of episodes, I will talk about every single one of them. In this first part of this mini series, I will explore the young career of the goalie, Matthew McCagg @Jack kidd. Matthew is currently playing in the VHLM with the Ottawa Lynx. He got drafted in the seventh round 63rd overall by the Lynx and he never left the team since. McCagg was the back up goaile in S85 and he only played 19 games, winning 12 of them, losing 6 and losing 1 in overtime. In S86, he played all the 72 games and won 50 of them. The Ottawa Lynx made the playoffs this season, but lost in the final to the San Diego Marlins 4-1. McCagg won 9 of the 16 games he played. Finally, in S87, he currently has 26 wins in 38 games. During his three seasons he played with Ottawa, Matthew McCagg has a save percentage of 0,911% and an average of goals against of 2,40. We are really excited to have him in the net next season. Thanks everyone, see you next week and let's go Gladiators!!!

Welcome everyone, The regular season is already well underway in the VHLM, and we can already see which teams are going for the Cup and which ones are going to finish at the bottom of the league. In this third episode of « The Bobs legacy, the sequel », we are going to talk about the first 34 games of Bobby Bob and the Houston Bulls. We are also going to look at which teams the Bulls have the hardest and the easiest time playing against. Bobby Bob had a really hard time to start the season, but he is now doing much better. Indeed, Bob has 9 goals, 41 assists for 50 points in 34 games this season. He also has a differential of +12, 50 hits and 54 shots block. With these incredible stats, Bobby Bob is first in assists in the league in front of captain nugget @Captain nugget of the Mexico City Kings and first in the league for the number of points as a defenseman in front of Colton Heffelfinger @heffcolton also from Mexico City. The Houston Bulls has a 21.32% and Bobby Bob is no stranger to it. Indeed, he is first in assists in power play with 15 and second in power play points with 19 behind Mark Calaway @Beketovof the Halifax 21st. The start of the season was difficult for the Houston Bulls, but things are going way better now. Even if they are only sixth in the league and third in their conference, the Bulls are only 10 points away from the first place in the league and 8 points away from the first place in their conference. Houston has 19 wins, 13 losses and 2 losses in overtime for a total of 40 points in 34 games. There are certain teams that the Houston Bulls really doesn’t like to face. Indeed, two teams in the league are worst than the others. Against the Mexico City Kings, the Bulls are 2 wins and 3 losses and 1 lost in overtime with a differential of -3 and the team that give them the hardest time is definitely the San Diego Marlins. The Houston Bulls only won 2 of the 7 games the two teams played against each other. Even if the record against those two teams is really not good, the Houston Bulls has a positive record against 5 of the 9 teams in the league. The best record is against the Saskatoon Wild, where they have 4 wins in 4 games and against the Las Vegas Aces with 4 wins, 1 lost and 1 lost in overtime in 6 games. The Houston Bulls has 2 wins and 1 lost against the Ottawa Lynx and the Philadelphia Reapers and 2 wins in 2 games when playing the Mississauga Hounds. The Bulls are better when playing against the team in the other conference. Indeed, they only have a record of 12 wins, 9 losses and 1 overtime lost when playing against teams in their conference.

Welcome everyone, It is a must, each team every few years enters into reconstruction and this season is Rome's season. Indeed, the team only won one game in the 28 first games of the season and the end of the season is not going to be better than it is right now. However, even if the team is going to be dead last at the end of the season, the future is very bright in Rome. The team has 14 picks in the next two seasons and 4 of them are first round picks. In addition, they also have at least three players and a goalie that will play with them next season. There is antonio marchand @Tapirman, Hannibal Barca @DreMin15 and Mac Dre @MacDre on the offense and Matthew McCagg who is dominating the VHLM this season with the Ottawa Lynx in the net. With the really good prospect pool and the good amount of drafts picks the team have, I am really optimistic that in one or two seasons, the Rome Gladiators are going to be feared around the VHLE. Thanks everyone, see you next week and let's go Gladiators!!!

Welcome everyone, A couple of days ago, the VHLM season started and the Houston Bulls needed a leadership group. Houston's GM, @AJW, and his AGM, @Triller, decided to name the captain and his assitants by themselves. They chose to name Bobby Bob to lead the team to the promise land and to wear the "C" on his jersey. To help him, Legacy Gaming @Gaming Ringleader and Liv Slater @Subject056 are both going to wear the "A" on their jersey. The team had a really slow start and the team management made a quick change and released their starting goalie to sign a new one right away. A new forward, Jeremia Barbalsov @Je Barbaslov, also joined the team and he is supposed to play his first two games tomorrow. The Houston Bulls have a lot of active players and is now set and ready to win the cup. I wanted to congratulate the three players that will wear a letter on their jersey and to wish them the best of luck for this season.

Welcome everyone, We are back for a second episode of the series: « The Bobs legacy, the sequel ». In this episode, we will talk about the beginning of the Bulls and Bobby’s first beginning of the season in the VHLM. The Houston Bulls had an amazing draft a couple of days ago and now they are set to go, and nothing will stop them from winning the Cup this season. For the first simulation of the regular season, the Bulls were playing against the Mississauga Hounds and the Philadelphia Reapers. The first game against Mississauga was going to be a difficult one. Indeed, the Hounds are a really good team and the game ended in overtime with the first goal in the regular season of antonio marchand@Tapirman and the first assist of the season of Bobby Bob. The Bulls won the 3-2 and Bobby finished the game with one assist and a differential of +1. The game against the Reapers also was supposed to be a close game and it was the case. This time opponents of the Bulls won the game 6-4 and Bob had an assist again but finished –3. After the first two games, the Houston Bulls went on to lose the next four games against the San Diego Marlins (3-2), the Miami Marauders (2-1), the Mexico City Kings (3-2) and the Las Vegas Aces (5-4 OT). In all those games, not only Houston lost only by one goal, but they also completely outshouted the other teams. The team management was really not happy about the performances of the goalie and after only six games into the regular season the GM @AJW and his AGM @Triller, released their goalie Maius Wagner to sign a younger and better one. The new goalie, Gage Barclay @Waffleboard39, was going to be in the net for the next two games. With only one win in their first six games of the season, the Bulls made some changes and now, with a new goalie and new lines, they are ready to start winning and they did just that. Indeed, Houston won the next game 4-3 in overtime against the Halifax 21st and Barclay saved 27 of the 30 shots he faced. Bobby had his fifth assists of the season and finished the game with a +0. The second game of the “new era” also finished in overtime, but this time the Mexico City Kings won the game 6-5. The changes are continuing to work, because the Bulls won their next two games 2-1 and 7-4 against the Lynx and the Reapers respectively. For its part, Bobby Bob, just like the team in general, had a really slow start of the season. Indeed, Bob only has one goal and six assists for a total of seven points in ten games and a differential of –1. Even if the team does not have the best beginning of the season, just like AJ, the GM of the team, said: “last season in the VHLE Oslo was at the bottom of the standings to start the season and then they won the cup”. So, everything is possible, and we just need to keep up with the good work.

Thank you all and let’s goooo Houston!!!

Welcome everyone, Two days ago, the off season ended and the regular season started. However, a lot of players that were on Rome's roster last season jumped in the VHL even though they could have played one more season in the VHLE. Therefore, the Gladiators were not going to be a competitive team anymore and the management team had to take some really important decisions for the future of the team. They decided to take a year back to be better in the future. Indeed, Tthe GM and his AGM made three trades in the last two days, two with the Stockholm Vikings and one with the Oslo Storm. The first one with the Vikings sent John Poremba Jr @CrlineDijohn14 in Sweden in exchange of a 1st in S88 and a 3rd in S89. In the second one, Rome received a 1st in S89 and a 4th in S88 for the service of Don Aven @Novanod. Finally, the Rome Gladiators sent Nicholas Blue @lidz to Oslo in exchange of Mclean Hoover II @McLean Hoover, Robert Overmeyer @RobBro34, a 3rd in S88, a 3rd in S89 and a 5th in S88. With all these trades, it is clear that the Rome Gladiators are not going to win the Cup this season, but like we say it in french the Gladiators are going to « s'arrêter pour mieux repartir ». Thanks everyone, see you next week and let's go Gladiators!!!

Thank you again @MubbleFubbles for the trade talks. And @NovanodI wish you the best of luck with Stockholm and in the rest of your career.
