AJW

@Arce I had all my trust in your article, how could you possibly do this to the VHL community?!?! I am deeply affected by this.

Excited to see what you will do with this team. Good luck IR!

What a series this has been. Whenever Moscow thinks they have us, we come crashing right back to tie the series. But tonight is do or die, game 7 of the VHL finals. This is the first finals Williams has been a part of. After a rough 3 seasons of playoffs prior in Los Angeles, Williams has only really known quick exits. Now with a strong roster on the Seattle Bears, there is a lot of hope and confidence flowing through his mind that they can win it all. Williams has been very productive these playoffs. Quiet in the first round, but explosive in the second and third. With 12 goals and 22 points, Williams knows that he is playing his game the way he should and should stay focused for the team. He needs to do his part and trust that his teammates have his back tonight as they have been all series long. Williams is a new leader to this team and has lots of eyes on him to bring Seattle success. This is not new though, as Williams had a monster 52 goal, 106 points regular season for the Bears. He was extremely excited to be traded to the Bears this past off-season after a Los Angeles rebuild and was ready to work. He knows what this team is capable of and knows what they have accomplished before. Williams is ready to make some more history for the Bears. I think the predictions for this game 7 will be a 2 or 3 goal difference. One team will find their legs and take control of the game from the start. If Moscow has Idaho playing his best, Seattle will struggle since we know Moscow has the depth to back him up and also Emeritus will be between the pipes shutting things down. If Idaho and the Menace are quiet off the rip, I have a strong feeling we will be able to control this game. For Seattle, Williams, Chara, Hogan, Petrenko and Torq have all been key contributors to these playoffs with solid point production. Once we all get buzzing it is hard to stop us from pumping teams to the ground. Then of course we have the Mike Smith of the VHL, Em Em Flex, in net repeatedly having strong performances and saving our butts when we need him. You can not predict who will win this game as both teams have gone back and forth all series long as well as all regular season while battling for first place in the league. I am excited to see the outcome of this one. Now for what I want to happen. It is obvious that I want Seattle to win since my player is on the team. Since joining the league with this player as a first gen, I have not yet won any type of award whether it is individual or team. I would love to hoist the cup and get a taste of some sort of victory. Bana is also coming down to the end of his career (so he says). After a long GMing career with lots of success and multiple cups with the Bears, this roster and this season would be a cherry on top for him to put another Continental Cup up on his display. Throughout this season I have seen how great of a GM and a person his is, so it would be sweet to see him win in my eyes. There is also another GM I would not mind seeing winning the cup and unfortunately that is the GM of the Moscow Menace. Spartan has built an impressive roster these past four seasons, bringing his team to the finals every time. He was unlucky to witness the Vancouver Meta Wolves each time which resulted in loses. I really do think Spartan deserves a cup after everything but it is so tough to think that when you are going up against the guy. In the end, I want my player to win the cup more than both of these guys, but whichever GM wins it this season I will be happy for them.

I haven’t paid attention to Helstinki all season but this was a fun update to read.

HELLO BOOK WORMS. So quick back story I have never liked reading books. The first book I finished was a book for my English class in high school because I needed to pass the class to graduate. The second was Rich Dad Poor Dad which I actually really enjoyed. Those are the only two I’ve ever finished. A couple weeks ago my friend gave me Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover and told me to read it. I forgot about it until today and I opened it up not really expecting to read a lot, then just close it and give it back. Well I read 70 pages before work and the second I got back I read another 50… over a third done the book. This book so far is about a guy and a girl with a weird first impression, they get to know eachother more through mutual connections, and they now have started to realize they like eachother and they did the nasty. There’s obviously a lot more details but yeah. I would never have thought I would enjoy a book like this but I guess I do. I can actually picture what I am reading which is exciting not because it’s a lot of sexual stuff, but because I’ve never really been able to do that before when reading. So I have a feeling I’ll finish it in a couple days and was looking for suggestions on what to read next. It doesn’t have to be the same genre. I have no books at my place but I do live really close to an Indigo so I can go there easily. So let me know of any good books y’all enjoy!! (I am just getting into reading, so series of books isn’t my go to right now).

These VHL playoffs have been super fun to watch lately. It has been really nice first of all to be part of a finals for the first time in my VHL career, but also to not see Vancouver sweeping everyone for once. Seattle and Moscow are both deserving of finals spots, we battled all season for first in the league and ended up tying in points. Moscow has a great big three. Bek in net, OD up front with Idaho who is a cheat code, and STZ on the blue line controlling Markinson. Their depth is great as well with only two players being around VHLE caliber. For Seattle, the whole team is firing which I love to see. Flex is mimicking his performance in the regular season by standing on his head these playoffs. My player is somehow a sniping god, leading the team and the league in goals. Four other Bears lead the league's playoffs in assists, and 8/10 players have 10 or more points in the 15 games we have completed. I am really happy with this team right now. I am excited to see what will happen tonight in game 5, no matter what the next 2-3 games should be great.

With Los Angeles having their 1st and VAN's 1st, I think I see you going there... unless they tank the draft lottery and you get sniped.

Recently I was named a GM for the JST and it has been all I am thinking about. It is so exciting to have earned a GM spot again after being out of a position for 5 months. I do not know how to describe the feeling but it is awesome to be able to have a team, meet players, help them grow, and watch them perform through sims. There are four teams this season and I chose the Warriors. No reason behind it but they have won the last two tournaments so I guess I need to work hard to follow tradition. As my right hand man I have @Shindigs as my AGM, so that instantly will boost the team's performance and morale. This should be a fun tournament for not only us but the players in it. So last night was the conclusion of the S83 JST draft and the birth of the Warriors roster! Being VHLM draft prospects, the draft pool obviously was not super deep, but I am extremely happy with squad myself and Shin picked. We have some great talent that should be able to shine over the next couple of weeks. Here is the roster for this season: F - Astro Singh @8Ovechkin8 F - Daniel Weaver @ThePerfectNut F - Dustin Neiszner @Absoleon F - Fred Hampton @TownBizness F - Jaysen Caulfield @StephenCurry5806N F - John Johnson @Letsgodevils126 F - Otis Boudreaux @Otis Boudreaux F - Tristan Rangel @Viperar F - William Futch @Futch D - Andrew Tate @Pisco D - John Poremba Jr @CrlineDijohn14 D - Roy Krishna @aleks D - Zach Whelan @DontCallMeCarson G - Karl Perdersen @JeffD Definitely a wide range of players, with members that are first generation, recreates, veterans, etc. I feel as if this group can win it all without a doubt as of course they have the most goated GM and AGM in the entire tournament to guide them. Starting with the forward group, we somehow managed to get 5/9 of them that had over 100 TPE. This is huge since the draft pool only had 11/35ish players over that mark. The TPE cap for this tournament is 150 as well, so these forwards should be able to perform at a top tier level. The other four forwards we chose are all considered weaker with the amount of TPE they have, so I would like to help them out with earning and see how well they can do that. The main thing about this tournament is having fun of course, but also to teach your players how to be the best they can be while the scouts of many VHL/E/M teams are watching. If a member decides to earn like crazy over the next two weeks, their draft stock will jump inevitably. Next to the defence, with only four, they will see the ice a lot and I am happy with the talent we drafted. We managed to pick four defenseman who have earned TPE before besides welfare/practice facility, so already they are on the right track to success. I can choose any one of these players for power play, penalty kill, extras, and I would have full faith in them. Last but not least we have Jeffy in net with 0 TPA lol. Going into this draft there were four goalies, one for each team, and when I saw Jeff's player last on the board I walked away laughing knowing I had a solid goaltender basically for free. Pedersen will be standing on his head this tournament I can feel it. With the 13 skaters in front of him as well, he should not have to even work that hard. So overall I feel like this team will be able to do great things. The depth chart is a chef's kiss and with waivers rolling in, we can only go up from here. Games start Thursday! GO WARRIORS GO!!!

Press Conference - Week Ending June 5 Answer 3 for 1 TPE or Answer 6 for 2 TPE 1. We are currently up 3-0 against Cologne in the first round! Is a sweep coming? 2.

Will Vasteras take home the cup or is our competition something to worry about? 6. How has life been treating you? Anything new/exciting happening lately?
