  1. @Zetterberg Welcome everyone, We are back for another VSN article, and in this article, we are going to do the S91 VHLE season preview. Just like the last few seasons, the VHLE is very competitive, and a lot of teams can have a good season and maybe even cause some surprises. So, even if I believe that the following ranking is pretty accurate, almost everything can happen. #1 Vasteras Iron Eagles Offense rank: 1st Defense rank: 1st Goalie rank: 2nd For a second consecutive season, the Vasteras Iron Eagles are expected to win the King’s Cup for the best regular season record. Indeed, even if a lot of players were called up in the VHL, the Iron Eagles are still looking really good. With the help of returning players like Thor Reingaard @N0HBDY, Kobe Johnson @Vkobe-v and Hannibal Barca @DreMin15 and new players like Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser, Leif Reingaard @Zetterberg and Kyle Toms @Ktoms22, the Vasteras Iron Eagles are once again going to be a tough team to beat. And in the net, they have the second best tandem in the league with Olivier Gauthier @fonziGG and Karl Herzlich @LastGoon007. #2 Cologne Express Offense rank: 2nd Defense rank: 2nd Goalie rank: 4th The Renaissance Cup champions of the last two seasons, the Cologne Express, are going to try to be the first team in the history of the VHLE to win the Cup three seasons in a row. To succeed, Cologne will need the help of players that were with the team last season like Al Land @Big Dee, Martin Kemp @leafsman and Brad Marchand @McGriddy10. The only reason why Cologne’s goalies are ranked 4th in the league is, because goalies in the league are really good this season. Indeed, last season’s winner of the Orion D H Chiester IX Trophy, Clark @cl4rk, has nothing to envy to the other goalies. #3 Bratislava Watchmen Offense rank: T-3rd Defense rank: 3rd Goalie rank: 1st Just like last season, the Bratislava Watchmen are going to fight for a spot in the top 3 of the league and once again, their goalie is going to be a big help. Indeed, WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW @rory will need to have another really good season to help Bratislava do a better run in the playoffs. The Watchmen will also count on players like BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10, Carson Walker Jr @Cwalker and Mina @Baozi this season. #4 Rome Gladiators Offense rank: T-3rd Defense rank: 4th Goalie rank: 5th Once again, the Rome Gladiators are ranked as the last team to make the playoffs in the VHLE, but Rome could very well do like last season and cause a surprise by finishing second in the standings. Indeed, the Gladiators will count on returning players like Mclean Hoover II @McLean Hoover and Conference Prince-de-Galles @UnkemptCL4PTP and new summer acquisitions like Jim Benning Jr @Jim Benning, Nick Sansoe @Tipskid97 and Sunset Moth @McWolf. Rome’s goalie is ranked 5th in the league, but just like with Cologne, Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty is not going to be the weakest link of the team. #5 Stockholm Vikings Offense rank: 5th Defense rank: 5th Goalie rank: 3rd After a few seasons of misery, the Stockholm Vikings are finally starting to look good, and they could do better than expected. However, I don’t think they have the team to really compete yet. Their young stars Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard and Spanish Moon Moth @Renomitsu are going to be a big reason of where the team will be at the end of the season. They will also have to count on some big performances of their goalie Olober Syko @Spartan if they want to cause a surprise. #6 Oslo Storm Offense rank: 6th Defense rank: 6th Goalie rank: 6th As expected, after being good for a lot of seasons, the Oslo Storm are still in a rebuild and they are still probably not going to compete to season. Oslo can still count on some rising stars like Rin Kagamine @Rin, Jorji Costova @Hybrid1486 and Jussi Jokinenegg @HearnNation67 to be competitive some nights. Thanks for ready and see you in another VSN article. P.S. I just noticed that this season preview is exactly the same as last season's.
  2. After being only one win away from the Renaissance Cup, the Rome Gladiators will try to be as competitive as last year. The captain of the last three seasons left the team this off-season, so I am proud to announce the leadership group for this season. C - Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty A - Sunset Moth @McWolf A - Mclean Hoover II @McLean Hoover
  3. THADIUS SALES TROPHY The Thadius Sales Trophy is awarded to the general manager deemed to be the best in the VHLE. The S90 winner of the Thadius Sales Trophy is @Zetterberg. Just like I said before, the general manager of the Vasteras Iron Eagles, Zetterberg, had an incredible off-season in S90. indeed, he had a lot of draft picks that helped him build a really good team for now and for the future. In addition, he made a lot of great trades that helped him acquire the pieces he needed to assemble a really good team. The votes were: 3/6 Zetterberg - 2/6 @Baby Boomer - 1/6 Sjin @Sjin.

Goncalves played for a really bad team and this is why she has a differential of -20, but when you look at her defensive stats, she has 149 hits and 81 shots blocked which is pretty good for a forward. Congratulations to you! The votes were: 4/6 Catia Goncavles - 1/6 Otis Boudreaux Jr @Otis Boudreaux Jr and Sjin @Sjin.
  6. JAKE THUNDER TROPHY The Jake Thunder Trophy is awarded to the player deemed to be the top defenseman in the VHLE. The S90 winner of the Jake Thunder Trophy is Pope Francis @nurx.

In addition to his incredible domination, Pope also had 156 hits, 162 shots blocked and a differential of +19.

  14. It has to be a joke...
  15. 1. It was probably when we won game 7 of the series against the Vancouver Wolves after being down 3-2 in the series. 2. Definitly when I signed my contract with the Toronto Legion, I am really happy to stay with the team for the next three seasons! 3. Without a doubt, it is Evan Bihler. Indeed, he lead the league in save percentage and goal against average in the playoff, so he is our MVP.
  16. @Zetterberg Welcome everyone, We are back for another article of the Victory Sports News, and in this article, we are going to rank the 10 1st overall picks in the VHLE from S80 to S89. We are not going to rank them according to the overall of their career, but only according to their career in the VHLE. Most of the 1st overall picks had really short career in the VHLE, so the sample is small, but we can still see which player had the biggest impact for their respective team. 10-Miervaldis Arpa @lil OG z - G (S82) Miervaldis Arpa was the first overall pick of the Yukon Rush in S82 and as of right now, is also the first and only goalie to ever get drafted first overall in the history of the VHLE. It is difficult to rank Arpa, because the Yukon Rush did not make the playoffs this season and they did not have a good team. This is a reason why Miervaldis also did not have a really good season and finished the regular season with 27 wins, a save percentage of 0.904% and an average of goals against of 3.59 in 56 games. 9-Rick Grimes @tinafrombobsburgers - C (S86) Rick Grimes was the first overall pick of the Istanbul Red Wolves in S86 and even if he is listed as the worst player, he still had a really good season. Indeed, he scored 27 goals and 38 assists for a total of 65 points in 72 games. He also had a differential of +30 and 112 hits during the regular season. Before the regular season, Rick Grimes was traded with Daryl Dixon @Ricer13 to the Bratislava Watchmen at the beginning of S86 for Damian Steele @73MPL4R, Zlatan Ibrahimovic @Markusbg and the S88 1st of the Watchmen who became Mark Calaway @Beketov. 8-Montgomery Burns @LastOneUp - RW (S89) Montgomery Burns was the first overall pick of the Vasteras Iron Eagles in S89 and got traded at the trade deadline to the Cologne Express in company of Jack Quill @GoldGear88 and Mason Rice @Sawyer13. In 72 games with both teams, Burns scored 31 goals and added 34 assists for a total of 65 points. He also won the Renaissance Cup at the end of the season with Cologne, and he scored 8 points (4g, 4a) in 9 games during the playoffs. 7-Leandro Goncalves @leandrofg - C (S83) Leandro Goncalves was the first overall pick of the Vasteras Iron Eagles in S83. He played the entire season with the team and had 29 goals and 40 assists for a total of 69 points in 72 games. Goncalves finished the season with a differential of +18 and 162 hits. In the playoffs, he scored 8 points (4g, 4a) in 9 games, but the Iron Eagles lost in the final of the Renaissance Cup to the Bratislava Watchmen 4-1. Leandro ended up winning the Continental Cup in the VHL with the Calgary Wranglers in S87. 6-Velociraptor Greg @samx - D (S84) Velociraptor Greg was the first overall pick of the Cologne Express in S84. As a defenseman, Greg finished the season with 17 goals and 49 assists for a total of 66 points in 72 games. Velociraptor also added 63 hits and 147 shots blocked. In 6 games in the playoffs, Velociraptor Greg scored 2 goals and 6 points, but the Cologne Express lost in the first round of the playoffs. The last 4 players were really hard to rank, because they all had very similar career, and they could all interchange. 5-Darth Kaprizov @Darth Kaprizov - C (S80) Darth Kaprizov was the first overall pick of the Cologne Express in S80 and he was also the first player to ever be drafted in the VHLE. He scored 40 goals and 49 assists in 72 games for a total of 89 points. In S80, the Cologne Express were not a good team, and they did not make the playoffs, but he still finished second for the most points for the Express behind Nathaniel Minion @UnknownMinion who had 102 points. If it was difficult to rank the last 4 players, the next 5 players were easy to rank, since they all had pretty different career in the VHLE. 4-Hulk Hogan 2 @Hogan - C (S81) Hulk Hogan 2 was the first overall pick of the Istanbul Red Wolves in S81. Hogan 2 really had an incredible season with the Red Wolves as they finished first in the VHLE at the end of the regular season, and they won the King’s Cup. Hulk finished the season with 32 goals, 64 assists and a total of 96 points in 72 games. In the playoffs, Hulk Hogan 2 was even better as he scored 15 points (8g, 7a) in 15 games, but Istanbul lost in the first round of the playoffs. 3-John Jameson @Frank - C (S85) John Jameson was the first overall pick of the Oslo Storm in S85. Jameson was part of the beginning of the Storm’s domination between S85 and S88. Indeed, Oslo finished first in the regular season and in the playoffs to win the King’s Cup and the Renaissance Cup in the same year in S85. John also finished first in the league for the number of points with 103 (51g, 51a) to win the Ronan Lavelle Trophy who is awarded to the most valuable player of the regular season. He also added 8 points in 12 games in the playoffs. 2-Kronchy Kardashian @Garsh - D (87) Kronchy Kardashian was the first overall pick of the Yukon Rush in S87 and is also one of the best defensemen the VHLE ever saw. Indeed, he finished the season with 26 goals and 77 assists for a total of 103 points in 72 games. Kardashian also had 171 hits and 153 shots blocked that helped them won the Jake Thunder Trophy awarded to the best defenseman of the regular season. 1-BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10 – RW (S88) BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson was the first overall pick of the Rome Gladiators in S88 and the first overall pick to play more than one season in the VHLE. Indeed, BjornaBjorkson said that he wanted to play his entire career in the VHLE and he currently played 4 seasons in the VHLE playing 288 games, scoring 135 goals, and adding 142 assists for a total of 277 points. BjorkaBjorn won the Renaissance Cup in S87 with the Cologne Express and the Florida Man Trophy in S88 with the Rome Gladiators for the best player of the playoffs as he had the best playoff run in the history of the VHLE with 29 points (16g, 13a) in 15 games. It is all for me, thank you for reading and I will see you in another article of the Victory Sports News. P.S. feel free to do your own ranking of the first overall pick in the VHLE and to write it in the comments section.
  17. The Rome Gladiators are offering a one year contract to LeBen Aky @Ben_Reformed.
  18. The Rome Gladiators are offering a one-year contract to Mclean Hoover II @McLean Hoover.
  19. Game #63 Recap: The game between the HC Davos Dynamo and the London United was the sixth game of the first semi-final of the European Conference. Before the game, Davos were leading the series 3-2 and they had the chance to eliminate London. Davos won the game 5-3 and eliminated at the same time London. James Teekirque of the Dynamo earned the first star of the game thanks to an incredible performance of 2 goals and 2 assists.
  20. @v.2 Welcome everyone, Once again, we had a really exciting regular season in the VHLE, and we can expect playoffs at least as exciting. In this VSN article, I am going to do my predictions for the S90 playoffs. Semi-final – Vasteras Iron Eagles (1) vs Cologne Express (4) Regular season record: VAS win 10-4-0 After having a really good regular season and winning the King’s Cup for the best regular season record, the Vasteras Iron Eagles are entering the playoffs with the hope to win nothing less than the Renaissance Cup. The Iron Eagles easily won the regular season series between the two teams, and I think this series will look exactly the same. After leading the team in goals (41), in assists (45) and in points (86) during the regular season, Braeden Panarella @ThatCasual is going to have an important offensive role during the playoffs. Vasteras is good offensively, but they are even better defensively, their goalie Olivier Gauthier @fonziGG and their best defensive defensemen Joe Block @jblock3 were a big part of their success. However, Cologne is not a team you should look down on them, because on paper they have one of the best team on the league and even if it was not the season they hoped for, they could really cause a surprise and win this series. They will need the help of their best player, Sjin @Sjin, who led the team for the numbers of assists (49) and points (86), if they want to cause a surprise in this series. The Predictions: Vasteras in 6 games Semi-final – Rome Gladiators (2) vs Bratislava Watchmen (3) Regular season record: ROM win 9-4-2 A little bit like the other semi-final, the Rome Gladiators dominated the regular season series between the two teams, and everything is saying that it should be an easy win for the Gladiators. However, when you look at the regular season and the roster of the Bratislava Watchmen, you know right away that it will be a really exciting series to follow. Bratislava had the best offensive duo in the league this season with Otis Boudreaux Jr @Otis Boudreaux Jr leading the league in points (92) and finishing second in assists (56) and Harry Callahan @dstevensonjr who finished second in points (90) and led the league in goals (44). The Slovak team were also the best defensive team in the league and the incredible performances of their goalie WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW @rory, who led the league for the save percentage (0.936%) and the goal against average (2.27), helped a lot. However, the Rome Gladiators showed during the regular season that they were better than the Watchmen and players like BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10, Ben Dover @Zylen, King Kisslinger @Kisslinger, Raimo Tuominen @SlapshotWrangler, Pope Francis @nurx, Conference Prince-de-Galles @UnkemptCL4PTP and Travis Clark @ClarkClanT are going to be really important players if they want to win this series. The Predictions: Rome in 7 games Final – Vasteras Iron Eagles (1) vs Rome Gladiators (2) Regular season record: ROM win 7-3-4 As you can see with the regular season record, the series between Vasteras and Rome was really really tight and we expect a final exactly like that. Indeed, both teams could win the series, but when you look at the details, Vasteras has a better goalie and a better defense than Rome and their offense is similar. At the end of the day, the Iron Eagles are a little bit better than the Gladiators, so this is why I am going with the Vasteras Iron Eagles to win the Renaissance Cup, but both teams have their chances. The Predictions: Vasteras in 7 games Thanks a lot for reading everyone, see you all next time for another VSN article and feel free to write your predictions in the comments.
  21. 4. I am currently watching the 4th season of sex education and just like the first three seasons, it is really good. 5. I know it is a really weird mix, but I will go with Juice Wrld, Martin Garrix and a Quebec band, Les Cowboys Fringuants. 6. There is only one good answer and it is strawberry jam, but I can accept nutella.
