KRZY

This is a first for me but I’m gonna give it the old college try . Here’s my first go at power rankings in the VHLE through the first week and a bit of the season . Here we go
 
1. Cologne Express
The Express are on a heater right now , No team can figure out how to stop the Express offensively right now . And it’s the same on the defensive side as well . Teams are having an extremely hard time breaking through and scoring on them . The Express lead the league on goals for and least Goals against . One thing that really stands out to me is the Depth of their scoring the top 4 point getters this season play on the express . GM @leandrofghas put together quite the team this season . Look for them atop the league all season 
 
2. Rome Gladiators
While on paper Rome might not look like they have the best roster they are really gelling as a team . Everyone is doing their part collectively to win games and make them competitive every game. Rookie Wann Kerr is leading the way offensively . And Jeremy Swayman is doing his part in Net to help Rome win games this year ! Rome will be a competitive team all year look for them as a team to watch come playoff time ! Look for @Baby Boomerto add at the deadline or sooner for Rome to make the push come playoff time .
 
3. Bratislava Watchmen 
Yes I know they are 4th in the standings , but with their team and the depth they have at every position I believe the Watchmen completely deserve to be ranked 3rd . Personally I expected a lot more from this team then what they’ve delivered this far this season . After the draft they made a huge splash aquiring  Daryl Dixon and Rick Grimes to help lead their offensive attack . The watchmen have alot more to give . And I don’t think I’m the only one that knows that or expected them to be better then they’ve been this far this season .
 
4 Stockholm Vikings
The Vikings are very solid at every single position. I really struggled ranking the watchmen at 3rd over them because of their sheer depth they have . But at the end of the day I think Bratislava will be a better team. The Vikings have rookie sensation Sadie St Louis leading the way offensively this year with Larry Abass Jr . I do think they have been very promising this year and have shown a lot of flashes of brilliance. It remains to be seen if they will stay consistent and near the top of the standings this season . But as of now they are gonna be another fun team to watch this year.
 
5. Oslo Storm
Far from the renaissance championship team they were last season Oslo has struggled out of the gate offensively this year . With 3 returnee’s on the backend from last season Oslo has however been one of the better Defensive teams in the E this season ! Part of Oslo’s rough start this year has been lack of offence and just plan bad luck and getting snake bitten on chances . They have the talent there they just need to put it all together. If there’s any positives here it’s that they are on a 3 game winning streak and that @JB123has returned as GM of this team if there’s anyone that can figure it out and get this team back on track it’s him 
 
6. Vasteras Iron Eagles
@Arce has mad it clear that the eagles are rebuilding and that this will be his last year at the helm of the eagles aswell . All that being said the Eagles are playing way better then I thought they would all things considered. Look for the Eagles to be sellers at the trade deadline to acquire assets to assist with their rebuild .
 
7. Istanbul Red Wolves
Istanbul doesn’t have a bad team offensively or in net with 2 maxed goalies where they struggle is on the backend currently with only 2 defenders. Personally with a couple more defenders I could see this team making a push up the standings . Until then I think they will struggle defensively relying on their 2 defenders
 
8. Geneva Rush
With only 5 players rostered any team is gonna struggle ! One positive is that Geneva has 2 very good goalies they can build around . But as of right now I believe this team is in full rebuild mode building towards a brighter future ! 
 
like I said this was my first ever attempt at power rankings so please don’t be too critical I tried my best . Hope you enjoy the read !

With the first week of S86 coming to an end Todd Cooke is showing quite a bit of promise and a preview of things too come as his career progresses. 
 
Todd Cooke has showed he can be a big time player in both the VHLM and VHLE. In prior seasons . His biggest accomplishment to date was winning the renaissance cup with Oslo in the VHLE last season . 
 
Cooke is currently playing for the Stars , Showing he can play wherever they slot him in the lineup ( on the wing as of late ) Cooke is learning what it takes to be a successful forward in this league , more importantly he’s taking in whatever bit of advice and real time experience he can playing with veteran VHL players in LA . Cooke has a lot of work to do and a lot of growth still has to happen but if this start of the season means anything it’s the this Rookie is a Diamond in the rough . With a very bright future in the VHL .

Coming off a successful season 85 the Oslo Storm are ready to see if they can repeat as renaissance champs in Season 86.
 
the management team has been very busy this off season re signing a good chunk of players that chose to stay another year in with the storm down in Oslo . Leading the returnee’s this year will be none other then captain Jon Webber Jr @Webberjjoining him will be Quinn Clark @axtron, Brodie Landry lll @Brodie_Landry , and Hunor Solyom @solyom
 
joining the returning core of Webber , Landry , Clark, and Solyom are an abundance of prospects ready to make the jump from VHLM to VHLE . These prospects are wingers Nikolas Kauppi @TetricideBen McLaughlin @Ben mclaughlinRobert Overmeyer @RobBro34 Defender Jack the Ripper @Ripper And in the Net Alexander Minion @UnknownMinionEach of these prospects have percolated in the VHLM for the past couple of seasons and are looking to take the next step and bring their talents to the Snow Palace in Oslo ! 
 
Rounding out Oslo’s roster is Oslo’s big off season acquisition Via trade Sunglasses Joyo @JetsGoalie101, and highly touted S87 draft prospect jumping right into the E Randy Bobandy @AJW, Travis Clark will back minion up in the crease and pistol Pete will round out the forward core. 
 
@JB123has really made it his mission to bring Oslo back to the promised land to repeat as renaissance cup champs this coming season. He’s assembled a good defensively sound team. With a good mix of youth and experience . Oslo is definitely on the right track to once again be a contender once the puck drops on Season 86 tomorrow night ! 
 
For myself I tried to dive right in and help JB assemble the best possible roster we could to give us a chance at repeating . While trying to keep an open mind and learn as much as I can still , I mean he didn’t just win GM of the year by fluke the knowledge that JB possesses about everything from people to strategies and STHS. To team building and making a family not just a team is amazing I’m blessed to be able to learn everything I can as an AGM from him. while trying to do my part to contribute to Oslo.
 
Lastly I’ll close this media spot with a little bit about Todd Cooke as well , as he gets ready for his rookie season in the VHL. I can only hope I’ve done enough and put in enough work for him to make a positive impact on the Stars team this season . 
 
Im gonna turn it over to the people I understand that Simon had a lot to do with things . But what does it take to have a good successful rookie season in your opinion ? What’s a good baseline TPE to enter the league ? What positions generally have immediate success ? And what positions take longer to succeed? As a first gen player  and newer member to this amazing community is still trying to absorb as much info as I can and take in all the advice and help I can get . This is something I truly enjoy and want to learn as much as I can to have fun and be competitive.
 
I apologize for the rambling and multiple topic changes but they were all things I felt were relevant to write about before the season begins tomorrow night ! Thank you for reading this media spot ! And please share your input if you feel like it !

None of our success in S85 was possible without you guiding the ship ! It’s been awesome to learn from you and grow as an AGM

Well deserved @Tetricideis a stand up individual !

Well deserved @Tetricideis a stand up individual !

Accept

I kinda drew a blank for the most part this week for a media spot so I’m going to talk about a few random things.
 
First off Todd Cooke is getting geared up for his first season in the VHL he’s currently trying to get as much TPE as possible before the start of the season to put himself in the best possible position to make an impact with the Stars this coming season. Cooke wants to continue to develop into a reliable two way center with a little more of an offensive upside. Recently I’ve signed an extension to remain in LA for the next 2 seasons I’m extremely excited to see what @InstantRockstar has in mind to build off a successful season last year ! I can’t wait to see what’s in store and what the future holds in LA.
 
Meanwhile down in the VHLE @JB123 and myself are trying to build off of a championship season in Oslo last year . With quite a few players moving up to the VHL in S86 we are looking for the right pieces to add to our exhausting foundation we have to remain competitive for years to come . The ultimate goal is to repeat as the S86 renaissance cup champs. While there is a lot of work to do to get there I truly believe we can get back there with the right plan and pieces put in place . 
 
Personally for myself I’m hoping Cooke has a successful rookie season and can contribute immediately in LA with the Stars and help them in their quest to win a championship! Management wise I want to take a step forward and learn as much as I can to expand my knowledge of this league and community, and ultimately  help take Oslo back to the top of the VHLE ! 
 
Enough talk about myself and my player . I wanna hear your opinion on what the best route is to get to the VHL . In my short time in this league I’ve noticed that most first gen players usually always play 1-2 full seasons in the VHLM then the same in the VHLE , before ultimately moving up . Now my question is do you try and stockpile as much tpe as possible  before making the jump or do you make the jump as soon as you can and build up your player that way ? Some guys don’t make the VHL till their 3rd or 4th season but some jump right in . ( I know most of those are recreates) . I guess really it depends on your goals and the pace you earn at since everyone is different and works at a different pace !
 
To piggy back off that last column when’s the best time to recreate ? Do you ride you player out till seasons end ? Or do you do it right at the deadline to maximize your potential tpe going into the your draft year ? Again this is kind of a catch 22 and all depends on the pace you earn your tpe and everything .
 
i tried to make this as fluid as possible and make as much sense as possible so my apologies if this was harder to read then normal !

Following a very successful stop in Oslo with the storm in S85 Todd Cooke is looking to take his game to the big leagues with the LA Stars of the VHL signing an extension that will take him to the end of S87.
 
Cooke looks to bring his well rounded 2 way game to the Stars looking to earn every minute of playing time he can . While playing in whatever role they designate him . LA looks poised to build off their season last year and work towards making the playoffs and winning a cup !
 
Cooke is both nervous and excited for his Rookie VHL season . More then anything he’s ready to finally get things going and try to help the Stars be successful  however he can ! All in all this Rookie can’t wait to get things going , and to start building towards a successful VHL career ! Stay tuned folks you’ll wanna keep tabs on this kid throughout the season 
 
LETS GO STARS !

Press Conference 
week ending 06/11/2022
 
 
1. we won the renaissance cup ! How will you be celebrating this off season ?
 
2. what’s your plans this off season ? Vacation ? Train ? Etc ?
 
3. where’s one area your looking to improve your player before S86 starts
 
4. what does Oslo need to do to repeat as champs in S86
 
5. Breakfast lunch or dinner and why ?
 
6. @JB123 is holding an end of season celebration, what are you bringing to the party ?

Going into this season I knew there was a lot of promise, both from a player and GM point-of-view. My first player, Nathan Powers, was entering his final season as a free agent, ultimately inking a deal with Vancouver. In addition, Oslo had a decent collection of picks and prospects coming together for a hopeful cup run. I couldn't be happier with the way the season worked out overall; I even recreated as a right wing with Oreo McFleury, brother of Skor and Reese. 
 
Right from the start of free agent discussions, @Frank was up front with me and committed to making the Wolves the best they could be for Season 85. While there were several great options on the table, I jumped at the opportunity to try and win a cup in my final season. Trades had already been made for Biggie Cheese, Alexandre Leduc and Wattson Power, and there were rumors of reigning MVP Nico Pearce as well as Anze Miklavz potentially signing. The season as a whole was a fantastic way to end my first career, and although we lost in seven games to the eventual champions, D.C., I had a great time with a LR of great people and activity. 
 
I was aiming for a significant step forward this season with the Storm, but certainly did not imagine what was to come. We were able to assemble a much fuller team than in the few seasons prior, which was at the top of my list of priorities. It was very nice having so many active and awesome people on the team. We did much better than I originally anticipated, the players leading the way through earning and activity. We had some a couple win streaks that brought a lot of excitement, but we also had some tough strings of games where we barely maintained a .500 record. The trade deadline deal for Babushka and Quinn Clark paid dividends in the long run and solved some of our defensive woes. Big thanks to @l1l KRZY l9l for strongly advocating for additions to be made. Luckily we were fortunate enough that those two players were on the block at the right time. We had explored some different options but nothing really worked out. 
 
I'm also glad we switched our strategy in the postseason from more offensive-minded to relying on our improved defense and Tucker Jr more. We knew he'd be the key in the Vasteras series with Matt Murdock being so consistent all season long. He without a doubt stepped up when it mattered most, as did the entire team. Both rounds were extremely tough fought battles against really good teams. We got off to an early lead vs Vasteras and Cologne, but they both made us nervous, winning important games decisively. This made me take more risks than I would have liked in terms of tactics, but I'm glad we got it done in the end. Special thanks to everyone on the S85 Storm roster and Krzy for your invaluable roles in winning Oslo its first ever Renaissance Cup!
 
Word Count: 512

Great series @leandrofghell of a battle ! 
 
@JB123thank you for the opportunity to learn the ropes as your agm , looking forward to running it back next season !
 
couldn’t have asked for a better group to be a part of thank you To the Oslo Storm players ! 

Finals game 6 recap !
 
las Vegas was on the brink of elimination and not getting the job done for the 3 peat . Philly was looking to close things out in 6 and win the founders cup !  After a close 1st period Philly grabbed the game by the horns and never looked back beating Vegas 6-3 final . Bringing home the founders cup and ending the aces quest for a 3 peat! 
 
Congrats to both teams it was a hell of a series !!

The Storm got it done ! I present to you your S85 renaissance cup winning team the Oslo Storm !
 
After finishing first in the VHLE Oslo carried their momentum into the Playoffs ! Oslo started things off in the Second round against the Vasteras Iron Eagles . In what many thought to be a Goaltending battle between Henry Tucker Jr and Matt Murdoch we weren’t disappointed! Even though Oslo jumped out to a 3-0 series lead all 3 games were very very close and could’ve easily gone either way ! Vasteras didn’t go quietly they battled back taking games 4 and 5 With there backs against the wall ! Game 6 was another tight games with Oslo ultimately coming out on top 3-1 final score ! The goalies stole the show all series , this one could’ve easily gone either way !
 
Oslo would then eventually meet Cologne in the Final ! This series was another tight one with both teams splitting the first 2 games , Oslo would then take games 3 and 4 and go up 3 games to 1 . Looking to close out the series in 5 Cologne  would play a lights out game not giving Oslo an inch bringing the series to 3-2 . In game 6 Oslo bounced back taking it 3-2 final after the teams captain Jon Webber Jr would seal the deal with a DOUBLE OT goal ! 
 
This season was one for the books as @JB123took a team that finished last in the VHLE Last season. And turned them into a team that ran the table from opening night to the final game of the playoffs ! Whether it was bringing in players via the draft , free agency , or via trade @JB123did absolutely everything he possibly could to assemble a winning team ! And when he wasn’t building and tweaking the roster he was spending countless hours reviewing games and making adjustments to the lineup and strategies to put the best possible team on the ice. JB was always looking on how to improve and keep getting better ! This team was special ! Unbelievable Offence , Defence , Goaltending ! Really no real weaknesses anywhere . All the players bought in early and worked together to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the renaissance cup in S85 . To every single person in the Oslo organization I wanna send out a heartfelt thank you for making this season one to remember! Every single one of you contributed one way or another to the team and brought something to the table both on the ice and in the locker room ! It was my pleasure being a part of this group as a player and an AGM
 
Looking Ahead !!
While Oslo will be losing a lot of key players from S85 , they will be retaining a lot of important and big pieces as well . We also can’t forget about the exciting prospects waiting in the wings to try and help Oslo run it back next season for the repeat ! The real work starts now stay tuned as Oslo will look to have another successful season in S86
