Advantage

You spend hours a day on a site you don't like waiting for Svo to come on just so you can troll him.  You are just a pathetic child.

Well no shit, I'm getting tired of that place, have been for a while actually. Only reason I kept my Co position when Ocho took over is because he wanted to work with me, and I know I can lend some insight, although at this point he sure as hell doesn't need it. I'll quit being Co in a couple seasons, hopefully, then just be the occasional fly on the wall over there because that's all the more that league deserves. Pop on here and there, do the occasional PT, and gtfo for sanity's sake. 
 
You're really just making my point.

The biggest difference between SHL and VHL is that VHL realizes that activity simply for its own sake is useless. Activity with a purpose is what's needed, with a couple of off topic sections but not dominating the board with them. SHL has far too much discussion on completely bullshit and irrelevant things and calls it activity, and then brags about having more of it than us. If that's activity, we don't need it. 

Whether or not this is a troll... This is a pretty fair representation of the SHL lol.

Yet you complain that your writing isn't good enough to get the points many of us get every week.
 
BUT ITZ SO EASY EH?

Your post following my rally cry is awkward. But if I go I view it as a move to make NY win now and in the future so it still counts.

As I leave I'll say this

When in Helsinki we had a really amazing season in S33 (only a bit better than this one in NY). We got the victory cup and the bye and lost in the semi finals like NY this season. We were pissed obviously but we were motivated and ended up winning a cup the next season.

I feel like NY is in the exact same position. Best of luck to you guys and I wish I wasn't retiring yet with work unfinished here.

that's a lot of coin for a pine duster

RGIII 2 Gud.

Looks like the better man lost this time

Mike would also make a solid candidate.
 
Despite what you may think Mike, I actually don't think our applications need extra commentary knocking one or the other.  

Lukas Nykvist has emerged as an exciting player to look out for in the upcoming draft. Recently the VHLM rookie has had an interview on the Fan 590:
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Q: "What are your expectations for your placement in the upcoming draft?"
 
A: “I honestly hope that I can get picked as high as possible. It is such a great honour for me to be already considered for the VHL. I would have no objections to being drafted at any pick and I feel like no matter what I have an opportunity to showcase myself in the VHL in the near future.'
 
Q: “Would you prefer a North American Conference or a European Conference team to draft you and why?"
 
A: “Obviously like I said I would be happy to join any team. So far I have loved every bit of playing with Yukon and I would very much enjoy to stay in North America. It is a new place for me and is a great experience. I am very comfortable with the European teams from my side of the pond and that wouldnt hurt either. No matter what I will be the best player I can be. The VHL is where I want to be and I will do whatever it takes to get there."
 
Q: “Finally, an out of the box question, what would you do if you weren’t a hockey player?"
 
A: “Ummm, uhhhhh. Um I think I would see myself working in a grocery store or in a cubicle. My grades weren’t the most amazing in school and I would have maybe went to community college. Without hockey I don’t know if I would make it (laughs). Hockey is everything and I’ve always held that as my main priority. Thanks for having me!"
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Nykvist shows a good sense of humour and seriousness about him. He will be one to watch and he seems to be a star in the making. Wether its Helsinki, New York, Cologne or any of the other VHL teams, Nykvist will be a great addition to the prospect pool.

This team better thank me. Without Tony Stark out there on the ice, you bums would all be sitting in the cellar. 
 
 
I'll accept your thanks anytime between now and our championship. 

Am I the only one hearing the fans play Chop Suey in the crowd? lol.

It's conceivable to think that the league will last so long that we will get a member who is younger than it.

I've been in a number of football sim leagues and while I'd heard of the VHL, I never really committed to trying it.  I know I did create a player a few years ago but I simply just lost interest.  It seems strange to me because hockey is far and away my favorite sport but at the same time, I knew next to nobody here before.  But after being on a team that was almost entirely filled with VHL guys, I decided to finally come over here.  I was blown away that the league was approaching 40 seasons and clearly something here was being done right.  The forum has a nice, clean look to it and, at least so far, everyone here seems real friendly and willing to help.  While on one hand I cannot believe that this league has been around for so long, I am also beginning to see why it has and with such a strong core, I can't imagine the VHL won't be around for at least another 40 seasons.  I know this time I'm going to be here to stay and I can't wait to be a part of easily the most impressive league I've ever seen.

Title - Helsinki Pride
 
There have been a lot of great rookies making an impact in the Victory Hockey League this season.  Three of those rookies have been playing some of their best hockey in Helsinki, Finland.  Kimmo Salo, Jake Wylde and Vojczek Svoboda have become three of the team’s cornerstones and are already making a tremendous impact for their franchise.  This edition of the Rookie Watch will look at the three talented freshmen and give them the deserving spotlight that they have worked so hard for.
 
Kimmo Salo has shocked many as he has come to the Victory Hockey League on a mission.  Despite only having ten wins as a starting goaltender, Salo owns the third best save percentage in the league (.923) and a respectable 3.09 GAA on a team that is still very green.  Salo has given the Helsinki fans hope like Dominik Stryker and Jakub Kjeldsen once did a long time ago.  What Helsinki now knows is that their goaltending situation is no longer weak and that they truly have found someone they can count on, and someone that can potentially carry them to a Continental Cup in the near future.
 
Jake Wylde was considered the marquee player for the Helsinki Titans franchise.  Some have compared him to some of the greatest defenders to ever play the game, and most do feel he has that kind of potential.  Wylde hasn’t disappointed in his rookie year and has turned many heads along the way.  With twenty-nine points in forty-three games, Wylde has shown that he does have an offensive touch.  He actually has a pretty impressive fourteen goals which ranks him fifth among all Victory Hockey League defenders.  In addition, he has also shown off his complete game as he is currently fifth in blocked shots and seventh in hits.  These impressive statistics lend proof to the fact that Wylde is an up and coming star in our great league.
 
Wylde will not be doing it alone though on the backend.  Vojczek Svoboda has arguably been the most impressive rookie skater this season.  The first overall pick has shown that he was deserving of that selection, with an already incredible thirty-nine points and over one-hundred and twenty blocked shots.  He ranks second among all rookies in scoring and is first in the entire league in the blocked shots category.  Svoboda excels on the penalty-kill and has been their best player on the fourth best in the league.  Wylde and Svoboda as a pairing presents the potential that we don’t often see.  We saw it with the Valiq’s in Quebec and they won a cup in result.  Helsinki hopes that the result will mimic that one.

So Romanseatsdonuts runs around Paris as well? Maybe I'll bump into him one day. On a side note, I did step in dog crap yesterday while listening...thanks guys

The Robbie Zimmers Award, I don't care for what but the guy will probably pay for it. So we got our forum hosting covered for the next 10 seasons.

The Areola award for most breasts posted in a season.

Meh, Victor always sounds like shit.

I became a huge Adam Cole mark a few months ago, and the ReDRagon vs Young Bucks match at War of the Worlds had me become a Kyle O'Rielly fan. Match of the night.
 
I've been really getting into Ricochet lately. He wrestles for Dragon Gate in Japan and their US extension, Dragon Gate USA. Here's a quick but great match between him and PAC (aka Adrian Neville)

For those that like indy stuff, I am sure you have heard of Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly.  These two guys are easily among my favourite independent wrestlers on the scene right now.  I found this match from a couple years ago after the two were a tag team.  It's Hybrid Rules (no pin-fall and there are fouls for leaving the ring and 3 fouls gets you disqualified).
 
Quite an entertaining match so I thought I would share.
