  2. My favorites VHLE logos Recently, the logos of each VHLE team came out and I really think that all the logos are beautiful. I don’t really know who did them, but I would like to congratulate them for their work. I will immediately start with the third most beautiful logo, in my opinion, the Cologne Express. The colours and the theme of the logo just match really well, that is why i love the logo. Let’s continue with the second second logo in my list, the Istanbul Red Wolves. I really love the font in a circle around the logo. I also really like the design of the wolf in the middle. And now, the team with the best looking logo, the Stockholm Vikings. I have to say that my two favorite colours are blue and yellow, but the head of the dragon is very beautiful and it really represent the vikings.
  3. 1. I happy about this win, but this is definitly not the only trophy that i want to win this season. 2. We will surely win and i hope that we play against the Miami Marauders, because we could take our revenge. 3. I am very excited to live a new experience in the VHL or the VHLE and met new players. 4. I am very happy for him and he deserves it. He played extremely well for the past two years, even with the though season we had last year. 5. We had a very great group of leader and this is one of the reason why we enter the playoffs with the Prime Minister's Cup. 6. I will describe it in two words, Not Over.
  4. Hello everyone, Welcome to the twelfth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. The regular season just ended in the VHL and the VHLM. It is now playoffs time and we will talk about what could happen during the playoffs and how the end of the season went for the Mississauga Hounds and Baby Bob. As expected, the Mississauga Hounds continued to dominate the league in the second half of the season to help them finish first in the entire league and at the same time win their second Prime Minister’s Cup in the last three years. They finished the season with a record of 56 wins, 12 losses and 4 overtime losses, for a total of 116 points in 72 games. The Saskatoon Wild, the Miami Marauders and the Mexico City Kings finished second, third and fourth in the league with 105, 103 and 103 points. We managed to join Baby Bob and asked him about how he thinks the team will do in the postseason. « We obviously played very great in the season and I think that the standings talk by themselves. I also strongly believe that we will win the Founder’s Cup, but I know that it will not be without giving a lot of effort. Our first opponents are the San Diego Marlins and they were last in the league around the middle of the season and they managed to make the playoffs, so this is not a team to underestimate. We will have to play each game of the playoffs as if it was game seven of the Founder’s Cup Final. » Halfway through the season, Baby Bob was at 50 points in 34 games which was very good. Now that the season is over we can see how good he did. In 72 games, he has 30 goals and 67 assists for a total of 97 points and is the third player with the most points on the team. With his 67 assists, he is second in the team and tied at tenth in the entire league. Baby is also +56 in the plus/minus category, which places him tied at seven in the league. Now that Baby Bob’s journey in the VHLM is coming to an end, we will look at how he did during his passage with his only team in the VHLM, the Mississauga Hounds. In the regular season, Baby is the fifth player of all time with the most points, with 172 points in 144 games. He is sixth in goals, fifth in assists and also fifth for the number of shots with 613 and an average of 4,3 shots/games. Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 513 words 23 - 29 august
  5. What if the VHL Europe was the VHL Quebec? It is now time to close the mini-series of the hypothetical with the third and last part of the mini-series. We currently have four cities in the VHL Quebec, Gatineau, Trois-Rivières, Montreal and Rimouski. So it means that two spots are still available. The first spot will be taken by Quebec, the capital city of the province of Quebec. With 570 000 inhabitants, Quebec is the second most populated city after Montreal. Since the Quebec Nordiques moved away, the team always tried to have a team back, but they never succeeded. I strongly believe that they deserved one soon. For the second and last spot, the city will be Sherbrooke. Sherbrooke currently has 170 000 inhabitants and is the sixth city with the biggest population. At the moment, the city has a team in the QMJHL, the Sherbrooke Phoenix and they need more than a junior team.
  6. 1. It is not even a question, we definitely will. We have almost 10 points more than the second team in the league. 2. My player is battling for the third player with the most point on the team, so i have to say that he is doing great, but i still think that he can do better 3. The big majority of our losses were against Miami and Saskatoon, so i would say that these two are our biggest threat. 4. Individually, Minion has been, by far, our best offensive player, but as a line, i would say that Williams, Numminen and Petrenko were very good. 5. Whitemore is the best player of the league in the plus/minus category and he is nine in the shot blocked. So, i will go go with him. 6. I live in Quebec and i just started Cegep, something between high school and university, that you guys don't have if you don't live in Quebec. I am very excited for that new experience.
  7. Hello everyone, As you may know, this week was theme week and we needed, in any possible way, to talk about the VHL awards. There are a lot of possible subjects about the VHL awards and I decided to talk about some new rewards that the league could add. So that it would be more fun to do point tasks, supplemental point tasks and even participate in the fantasy zone. Here are the trophies and their names: 1. the Fantasy Master’s Trophy A lot of people do the VHL Fantasy Zone and the VHLM Fantasy Zone and I think that everyone loves the idea. Plus, it's free TPE, it does not take long to do and you don’t have to do a lot of things to have TPE. Each week you won uncapped TPE depending on if you guest right the winners of four games and the score of one of them. However, I think that there should be a leaderboard with the players who have won the most uncapped TPE. At the end of the season, the player with the most who should win the Fantasy Master’s Trophy. 2. the Media Spots Champion I don't really feel comfortable doing podcasts, because I don't really know what to talk about and my spoken english ( and writing ) is not really good. In addition, I just literally don’t know how to do graphics, so I just don’t do them. For my part, I only do media spots for my point tasks, because I really love to write and it is really nice when people give you positive feedback about your articles, but I don't feel like there is enough meaning about these point tasks other than the TPE you earn. This is why I think that the most read articles should win the Media Spots Champion. 3. the Best Graphic of the Season Trophy As I said in the previous paragraph, I don't do graphics for my point tasks, because I don't know how to do one, but sometimes, just for fun, I go see some in the forum and I am always very impressed how some of them are really beautiful and well done. I really think that some people put in a lot of effort and I don't think that the effort is fairly well rewarded. This is why I think that at the end of the season the five most beautiful graphics (decided by the league) will be put in a poll and all the players across the league will vote for the best graphics and the player who did it will win the Best Graphic of the Season Trophy. I honestly don’t even know if these ideas can work and if it is possible to create these trophies, but i really think that the Point Tasks and the Fantasy Zone should be more recognized by the league and by the other players. Thanks for considering my idea (I hope to see the trophies in the next VHL awards ceremony) and have a great day. 506 words 16 - 22 august
  8. all the logos are beautiful, but here are my favorites : 1. Stockholm Vikings 2. Istanbul Red Wolves 3. Cologne Express 4. Rome Gladiators 5. Bratislava Watchmens 6. Vasteras Iron Eagles
  9. I really don't know if these ideas were already said by other players, but i think that these would be fun 1. Make all-star teams and an all-star game 2. Find some new supplemental point task to make each week less repetitive 3. Make the attribute mean more, like if your player as a better shot then make him score more goals and so on
  10. What if the VHL Europe was VHL Quebec? Welcome back to part two of the mini-series, what if the VHL Europe was the VHL Quebec? Last part I presented two cities, Gatineau and Trois-Rivières. I will now start with the third city, Montreal, as you know, Montreal already has a team in the NHL, the Montreal Canadiens. With that being said, there is now way that Montreal should not have his team in the VHL Quebec. With its 1,78 million inhabitants, Montreal is the most populated city in the entire province of Quebec. After a city that everyone expected, let’s go with one that no one expected, Rimouski. With only 50 000 inhabitants, Rimouski is a small city, but with a big hockey history. Rimouski currently has a team in the QMJHL, the Rimouski Oceanics. The team had a lot of great players, for example, Sidney Crosby, but not only him, Brad Richards, Alexis Lafrenière, Vincent Lecavalier and many others.
  11. 1. i always listen to music that hype you up. The music you listen too should always make you ready for the games. 2. I never train the same day of my games, but i train all the other days of the week. 3. The morning of a big game i always go to Tim Hortons and i eat a wrap with the patatos and a big chocolate milk. 4. Not really, i play my best every game and i train as hard as i can to win games for the team. 5. I think that i started my Tim Hortons thing maybe two years ago, but other than that i don't really remember. 6. Never, it is a thing that you start, but never stop.
  12. What if the VHL Europe was the VHL Quebec? As you know, a new league was recently born. The new league is only made of teams located in Europe. In this series, I will recreate this league, but with only teams located in the province of Quebec. We will start immediately with the first city, Gatineau. Gatineau is a big city located in the west of Quebec along the border of Ontario just besides Ottawa. There have been talks about relocating the Ottawa Senators to Gatineau, but the talk has never been really serious. Gatineau is a city with 285 000 people and a big hockey city who should have its own team. The second and last city for part one of this mini-series is Trois-Rivières. Trois-Rivières is a city with 138 000 people. They are currently hosting a team from the ECHL, the Trois-Rivières Lions. The Lions will play their first season ever this year. They are the affiliated team. 160 words
  13. 1. Music, i always listen to music, when i go running, when i wanna relax and even when i am home alone and i can sing as loud as i want. 2. I try to always be in the firsts players to arrive at the arena and i listen music that i know to relax. 3. spaghetti with my grand-mother's sauce. 4. Handball, i am playing handball since i am 10 years old and i really like it. 5. listening to music, there is nothing compare to music. It is relaxing, you enter in your bubble and no one can distract you. 6. Quebec, because they deserve a team since a very very long time.
  14. 8/10 Wow! i can clearly see that you did a lot of research and that you put a lot of effort. It is nice to know every players career and how they did during these one. Maybe space a little bit your text so it won't be big walls of word. It will be easier to read, but your text is very well written.
  15. 9/10 Great text! I am currently trying to find my first job in the VHL and i really love to see what it is like to have a job and more specificly your first one. your article is very well written and very nice to read. Keep up the good work and good luck on your first job.
  16. Hello everyone, Welcome to the eleventh chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. We are almost at the middle of the current VHLM season. Therefore, we are going to do a little recap of the first half of the season for the Mississauga Hounds and for Baby Bob. After 34 games into the season, the team is currently at 27 wins, 5 losses and 2 overtime losses for a total of 56 points with a possibility of 68. With that record, the Mississauga Hounds are alone in first place of their conference and first in the league too. Their closest competitors are the Philadelphia Reapers and the Mexico City Kings with 51 and 50 points. The race for first place is very close between these three teams and it is impossible to predict who will end the season at the top of the league. To make it even tighter, the Reapers recently made a trade to acquire three very good players to improve their team. Baby Bob gave his thought about his team first half of the season: « We started the season a little slow and the results were showing it. We were doing good, but not as good as we would have liked. However, now, we are playing a lot better and this is why we are first in the league. We are definitely improving as a team on the ice and the chemistry is setting in between all the boys. » Just like his team, Baby Bob, had a good start of the season, but really not a great one as he had 16 points in 10 games. Baby is currently at 19 goals and 50 points in 34 games and he is also plus 29 which places him tied in sixth place in the league in this category. He is currently fourth in points and in goals in his team. Like all his teammates, Baby Bob really improved his game and he started to play like he should. « I am very happy with how I am playing right now and I am working very hard to keep it like that. Last year, I was the worst in the league in this category and now I am in the top 10. During the off-season, I really tried to improve my defensive side of the game and I am happy that it worked and I want to keep it that way. The coach is making me play on every line and in all situations of the game and I am glad to see that he trusts me. Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 500 words 2 - 8 august
  17. Will I play in the VHLE next year or not? First off, the name of the first six GM of the VHLE has been revealed and I would like to congratulate all of them and wish them good luck! Next season, S80, when the season starts i will probably be near 350 TPE, so i will be able to play in the VHL immediately and not play in the VHLE. Before making my decision I will wait to see how the first ever VHLE draft will go. If I don't get drafted, I won't play in the VHLE, which is logical. However, if I get drafted, this is where it is getting interesting. I will look at my team and at the others and determine if I can help my team in the VHLE by playing with them or not. If my team is looking great and we have a chance to win the Cup, I will play in the VHLE next year, but if we are not good, well I will directly go to the VHL and play with the Phantoms. 182 words
  18. 1. not really, but i am still happy with what i am doing even thought i believe i can do more. 2. i think they are doing great and they assembled a good team. 3. i don't know yet, i will see when the time will come. 4. english or russian 5. Boomer's Role 6. i don't think i will win any personal reward this season, because i don't have a lot of ice-time, because of how stacked our team is. So i didn't produced a lot since the beginning of the season.
  19. can you add me
  20. 9/10 Woow very good article. I really love the little picture beside the name of the teams. Yout text is very well written and easy to read, it is also not a big wall of words so it makes it more nice to read. I love how you separated each game and you described them precisely.
  21. 9/10 Great article and very well written. It is very nice to read and it is fun to see your perspective about the trade and the beginning of the season. It is nice to see that you made paragraphs and not just a big wall of words. Keep up the good work and your effort will be rewarded.
  22. Hello everyone, Welcome to the tenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the Gms and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. In this chapter, we will talk about the start of the second season in the VHLM of Baby Bob’s career. He is in his second season with the Mississauga Hounds and this year, the team is supposed to be very very good and is playing for the Cup. The Hounds have now played ten games and are 7-2-1 for a total of 15 points. The team is actually tied in first place in their conference with the Halifax 21st and second in the league just behind the Mexico City Kings who have 18 points in 10 games. The Mississauga Hounds had a good start to the season even though they could have done better. We reached Baby Bob about that and here is his answer: « We can’t say that we had a bad start to the season, because we are tied for second in the league which is still very good, but with the players we have and the team we built, we need to do better. There are some games that we lost that we should not have. I think that we need to improve as a group and as a hockey team to play like we should. » Now that we talked about the team, it is time to talk about the player we are currently following, Baby Bob. Baby did not have the first six matches he expected, where he only had 3 goals and 6 points with a differential of plus 1. After these six games, Baby Bob had a little introspection, he talked with his agent and his relatives to see what he could change and do better. In my opinion and I think that I am not the only one who has this opinion, I think that this little talk Baby had really really helped him. Effectively, in his last four games, Bob had 4 goals and 10 points and is plus 7. His game really improved and you can see in his stats, but also in his game that he worked on himself. We asked him what he thought about his beginning of the season: « Well four games from now i was not really proud of what i was doing, but now i can say that i am happy with my games. I am producing, I am in the positive and I keep improving. The team is not going as expected and we are not winning as much as we would like, but my job is to make the team win all season long and go win the Cup. » Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 512 words 26 july - 1 august
