@Beketov you don’t need forwards so I’ll make my last pick F - Riley Martin

Review: Loving your card series and this one is a great piece to your collection. It honestly looks like a card you'd find opening up a real life hockey card pack. Only thing I would think to make it look more real is some sort of border around the card that tradition hockey cards have. Besides that, the layers are amazing, the text is simple but perfect, and I really do love the effort you put into the jersey swap as well as the grid + skyline behind the player to bring it all together. This one would definitely go for $20+ on eBay, 10/10.

Game 23: Seattle Bears vs New York Americans Seattle heads to New York for a North American matchup featuring two well built and competitive teams. Both teams can easily be seen as playoff contenders for S97. Although this game was very one sided as the Bears were able to figure out New York's talented goaltender WWW.... with a final score of 6-1, Seattle had full control throughout these 60 minutes after an early 4-1 lead to finish the 1st period. Bears' 2nd line Left Winger Forum Content had themselves a day contributing on 5 out of 6 goals scored, with 2 goals and 3 assists totaling to 5 points. Centreman and line mate The Phantom of the VHL was able to score a goal as well as 3 assists for a 4 point night. The rest of the Bears' scoring was pretty well spread out with only two players not showing up on the score sheet. Seattle came out of this one with a massive win and goaltender Giorgiy Costanzov helped out big time saving 35 of 36 shots on goal.

God I love fantasy zone so much

I still stand on loving the trade so much no matter what any VHL critics’ opinions are. We got two players called up for this season - one already being 400+ TPE and the other just shy of 400 TPE - Duke will be ready for S98, and Xhelajs will be ready for S99. All four player ready to play in the VHL before the S99 1st is ready to join a VHL team. We need players NOW and we got them, very happy with our new prospects and the work they’ve put in already. (Makes me extremely happy to see them all responding to my pressers)

Merry Christmas group 12

After recently being drafted 6th overall to the Los Angeles Stars, Bubbles LaFleur decided to spend the rest of his off-season back home in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park with his brother Ricky LaFleur @DarkSpyro for Christmas. The two brothers had their VHL dreams fulfilled, being drafted to the same organization, as Ricky was also taken by Los Angeles at 12th overall. The brothers planned to booze their faces off to celebrate this early accomplishment, and with their VHLM contracts, Ricky decided to supply the entire trailer park with dope while Bubbles (although he doesn’t drink often) supplied the park with liquor. The whole park was fuckin’ loaded! Only exception was that Lahey and Randy had to pay Ricky and Bubbles for their dope and liquor, bunch of narcs, they still got piss drunk with the brothers though. Oh and course, Corey and Trevor had to supply the boys with smokes. Julian was so happy to see the boys back home spending time with him as he’s missed them so much. He cleaned out his trailer and had shots for the boys ready to go before they hit up the local trailer park bar that Julian runs. Ray even showed up in his wheelchair saying how proud he was of Ricky while slamming a free bottle of Bourbon. All was magical in the park for once, everyone was loaded on some type of abusive substance, it was a very Merry Christmas.
