Advantage

BTW, I have no issue whatsoever with the BOG's increased influence. I may have posted it in the conversation at the time or I may have spoken to individuals, maybe even one of the three regulars here, but that was fully my intention. I know I can't come up with ideas as well as David or Sterling and we have just have come up to a point where we don't need changes quickly, we can afford discussion and I can focus on day to day running, which is exactly why I wanted the position in the first place.

Thanks for taking so much effort and enthusiasum into answering my question. Glad I spent the time to make them in depth. Dicks

EIGHT MINUTES

A little early to tell but if Munk is serious about the extra year here..
 
Wahl - Slaughter - XXX
Klose - Moons - Denis/Keeler
 
Low - ???
Salvador - Ricky
 
* If not both of Salv and Ricky make it, Boomgaarden can prob stay.
 
We will have about 5 Million to work with where I might either bring in both a fwd and defender or maybe make a play on Fjorsstrom (if Riga does trade off).
 
Very early though to know.

My babies belong in a piece of kleenex or my grade 10 gym sock, and that's where they will stay.

Gorlab. Go make a baby. It will make you forget about sim league troubles.

You will love it

That would be cool Munk.  Don't worry about not being able to contribute..real life comes first.
 
Very satisfying sim.  5-3 win over Quebec and we are now 5-0 against them this year.

...and I am a VHL addict.
 
After much contemplation the time has come to say goodbye to my 2nd player, Mr Odin Tordahl.
 
He achieved more then I could have hoped after my average effort with Boomchenko, so for that I am grateful.
 
Thanks to all the teammates and GM's Odin spent time with, you guys (and girls) are the reason the VHL is such a success. Special thanks to the quality guys I have shared a LR with and to those(Higgins,Victor and Chris) GM's that gave Odin an opportunity to be in a position to win Continental and personal trophies...I truly thank you for making him into the player he became.
 
Thank you....and goodnight.
 

Mag Edition 215 - The Time Has Come
 
It is that time of the year again, when we say goodbye to some of the legends in our league and welcome in new blood that will fill our league for years to come.  These guys may be future candidates for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy, so I think it's appropriate that I take a brief look at some of the players who declared for the Season 42 Entry Draft today.
 
G - Jax Barnstormer (63 TPE): I suppose he is already the favourite to be the top prospect in the draft given his tremendous pedigree.  His agent has already managed one of the best to ever play the game and also another very good players who finds himself in the top twenty all-time for assists.  The Canadian goaltender is the next installment and definitely has tremendous potential to be a great starting netminder in the Victory Hockey League.  A balanced goalie with good size, Barnstormer projects very much like Americans goalie, Brick Wahl, who started out a bit slow but has reached the point of being one of the league's best goalies.
 
C - A.C. Savage (53 TPE): Another player with some great pedigree, A.C. Savage has a very good case of being ranked as the top prospect in this draft.  If the team who ends up with first overall does not need a goalie, then Savage would be the early favourite to take that spot.  Projecting as a quick player with a great shot, Savage could easily be the type of player who dominates in the minors and improves his draft stock through his tremendous play.  Regardless of whether or not he goes first overall, this "Savage" looks like a bright prospect that will be a hot commodity when he enters the draft room.
 
W - Wolfgang Strauss (24 TPE): Perhaps a darkhorse top guy in this draft, Wolfgang Strauss' agent previously worked with Sami Kravinen, who was a very solid VHL defender that took more of a depth role during his time in the league.  With that being said, his work with Kravinen leaves hope that Strauss could be a bigger piece that really benefits from his time with his agent.  Wolfgang is definitely a raw prospect but like Savage also has a great shot and speed.  It might be a slightly longer growth period, but the potential is there for Wolfgang to live up to the Strauss surname.  
 
W - Marcio Greusinho (0 TPE): This could be the biggest darkhorse in the entire draft.  Many may not have strong knowledge of the name McZehrl, but the agent has quite a history in the Simulation Hockey League.  If he decides to make a big splash here with Greusinho, it could mean big things for this draft.  With the potential to be an easy top three pick, Marcio has a chance to show what he has got.  Does he have a lot of things he needs to improve on? Absolutely.  With that being said, if I had to pick one guy who isn't a surefire top guy that I thought was a great darkhorse, this would be the guy.

Don't.  Claim it lol.  You are apart of this team, and you were busy.

Am I eligible to I like dicks this? If so I I like dicks. What the hell is a quadruples week?

All this is unwarranted. Can't we just leave his retirement thread alone with the negativity? Let the man tend to his family in peace.

smh @ anybody getting the same amount as NYA

I don't recall many people agreeing with me. That's what you get, you get my opinion as someone whose been here since the start and respects the history we've built. Calgarys effort is honestly insulting compared to others

Intent isn't the only thing that matters with a cheap shot. He hit him in the head, he should be suspended, it was an ugly, awful play. People have been suspended for being reckless, and that certainly was. The fact that the refs didn't call anything is also very ugly.

Late..headshot...no penalty.  Dirty fucking shot.
 
Bullshit goal.

After yesterday’s revelations that Tom Slaughter has in fact all of the slaughtering abilities of a postcard, further INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM has found out that Slaughter has in fact accrued less penalties over the course of his career than his team-mate, keeper Brick Wahl, which is fucking ridiculous. The only feasible reasoning that I can have for this is that Chris Miller, the New York Americans General Manager and Agent for Wahl has instructed Tom Slaughter to actively hold back from getting PIMs, and then is placing bets on Wahl getting more PIMs in a season than Slaughter, and it’s downright disgusting to see that.
 
But where is this tainted money being used? Is it being fed under the table to Connor Low or Odin Tordahl in order to pay for the services of women? OR, is Chris Miller using it to fuel a drug habit, since that’s really the only kind of thing you can do with tainted money? This investigative journalist will be sure to look into this case further, but for now will post a completely unfounded piece detailing that Miller probably has in order to use it as click-bait in order to generate more revenue from ad money to fund his own cocaine habit.

Name him Christopher Miller.
 
Probably one of the best names out there.

I like Vasty's.  I just think some writeups could have really helped it.  For me they did the minimum if we ignore how out-of-the-box it was (which we can't).  They are among my favourites though for sure.

Up pretty big

I'm okay with that.  That works out to be like a maximum of around 70 extra TPE if the person did it every week for eight consecutive seasons.

Thank you to everyone who submitted. Here's to another era of the Magazine. I hope you all enjoyed the new revamped design for the magazine. I spent quite a bit of time on it, but I think it makes it look a lot more professional.

What a monster.

Mind you, ours is really long and we did have a lot of people put work into it (which is an Advantage)
