Great finish to a solid career! Congrats orbit

Houston’s losing basically everyone since most of the team is over the cap or waiver signed

GGs Vegas, this was no surprise to anyone. Great effort for Halifax to get to the cup too!

Thank you for everything you’ve done Hatter. Had a lot of fun working with you when I was part of VSN. Happy to see Alex get your spot! Definitely the right choice.

To be fair I said Halifax because they broke my heart these playoffs

@ShawnGlade Karppinen too low

A crazy series that I have to give huge props to @Quik for being such a pain in our ass GGs Halifax! Good luck next round

Oh wait you’re S86!!! We have two 1sts!!!!!

Seattle’s highest pick is a 3rd so we will not be getting any Shrimp

I went back home to visit and I found a bunch of old hockey books… biographies, stories, etc… so I’m slowly starting those up!

Yes!! Root for Halifax jinx them please!! (Houston GM here)

@JB123 I’m leaving you in good hands

1. We need to do what we did in the three games we won already… Put more picks in than they do! 2. Vegas vs Mexico should go in Vegas favour, then if we beat Halifax I feel like we have a good chance at beating Ottawa. 3. Isamu easily. The pre sim hype ups in the locker room were awesome. 4. Phil and Jani! They’ve been producing at high volume and has kept us in this series. 5. I’m hyped to watch almost of the Bulls roster compete in the tournament. We have atleast one player on each team. 6. Peanut butter ice cream with Reese’s cups.

I apply

The Junior Showcase Tournament is underway and the draft is rolling by with Houston Bulls players flying off the board. The Houston Bulls had 10 players eligible for the draft and all 10 players have been picked already. The draft is currently on pause at the 88th pick. Meaning that there are more players to pick and also the Bulls managed to ALL get drafted in the top 30!! 1st overall - Isamu Knievel 2nd overall - Lloyd Braun 8th overall - Brayden Albrecht 9th overall - Daryl Dixon 10th overall - Bill Nye The Puck Stopping Guy 12th overall - Rick Grimes 16th overall - Ash Sparks 18th overall - Yaroslav Bogatyrev 20th overall - Johnny Kalamazoo 27th overall - Joel Rogers It is really cool to see number 1 and 2 being Houston players, and also that each team has at least one Houston player. Having all these players drafted so high is such a pat on the back for them, but also myself as a GM. All season I have been working with these players to be determined to earn TPE and be dedicated to the team for our playoff run. I hope that these playoffs will push these players to earn even more, resulting in their players being top competitors for the JST and raise their draft stock for the S85 VHLM draft as well. I am excited for this tournament to start as each team has a reason for me to cheer for them! Best of luck to these players in the tournament, and let's continue fighting in the VHLM playoffs this season.

Wow

Going to be a fun next couple games great series so far

If it’s a Moscow vs DC finals… I would love to see v.2 and Arce win a cup, but man do I ever want @Spartan to break this finals curse

@aimkin!!! Been loving your work this season, happy to see you get a spot!

HOUSTON

Yeah it says we need permission to see

Had a great VHLM season on a not so great team. Big things coming for you in the VHLE and VHL

If Ceson comes to Houston I'll give him unlimited tea vouchers and a blow up dolphin toy. It has a small hole in it but can be patched up.

1. We need to keep climbing the ladder and updating like we're doing. The team is looking great with basically everyone over 100 TPE. We should have one of the strongest depths heading into playoffs. 2. I don't have a player here but my plan for the team is to go all the way and make a super deep run. 3. Us. It's all or nothing this season. We made big moves and hopefully it plays out. 4. Bill Nye has to take it. He has been our rock this the beginning of the season. We needed a goalie so bad and he stepped up big time. 5. Looking to playoffs! Job not finished. Celebrations come when we have a trophy in our hands. 6. For the food I want just a huge buffet of everyone's favourite dish, then we can taste what everyone likes. The band has to know at least one country song for me. Whoever pies me in the face better expect one coming right back at them!

The Seattle Bears have secured 2nd place in the NA conference, and still have a chance (a low chance) at taking first place after tonight's sims. We have been a strong team all season after making some big moves in the off-season to free cap space. I really did not know how we would shape up after losing Detroit and Chara, but we have held our own and sit comfortably heading into the playoffs. The big question is though, can Seattle go back to back? In STHS the answer seems to always be maybe. This sim engine can bless you or destroy you whenever it feels like it. I would say the sim engine has been blessing us so far, but it helps to have the talented roster that Seattle has built for S84. Starting with our goaltender, Dusty Wilson. Wilson has been in the system for the Bears for three seasons, drafted at 44th overall in the S82 draft, he has been working his way up to the VHL while struggling to find his way in the minors. He never really had a solid starting position until now and in his rookie season, where he holds a 39-18-5 record with a 0.924 SV%. I would say for a 500 TPE goaltender in his first season, that's pretty damn good. Wilson is now earning 10+ TPE each week and should be Seattle's main guy for a while. For our defence I have to guess we have one of the main cores in the league. Hogan, Steve, Bana, and newly acquired Spyro, all with great builds. Spyro did retire recently at 435 TPA, but the other three defenders can pull his weight for sure. Torq has the least amount of points of the three with 59 in 70 games, amazing for defence. They are great for shot blocking and hitting as well and overall protect our blue line and goaltender to standards. For the forwards now. Like I said earlier I did not know what losing Detroit and Chara would do for us, but apparently we are doing pretty alright without them. Jonathan Ori was picked up this season and seems to be our best playmaker with 56 assists, leading our team. Bushtit was also acquired this season, but is in his earlier stages of his career, so not much has been done except development. The stat I enjoy the most about this team is that we have four forwards with 30+ goals. I am pretty sure there are only four other teams who have done the same. So it is really cool to see that we have a diverse group when it comes to goal scoring. So that is the team but how do we stack up against the league. So we are 2nd in NA and 3rd in the league. We do have a couple losing records this season and unfortunately they are all against top ranked teams: 1st. Moscow: 1-3-0 2nd. DC: 1-4-0 4th. Helsinki: 1-3-0 5th. Warsaw: 1-2-1 Having losing records against all of the top 5 teams does not bring you confidence I will tell you that! But in the end I have the trust in Bana and the team he has built. We have what we need to win, and playoffs are a whole different story, anything can happen.
