Advantage

Yes, that's true. Come on guys, lift your game. Tukio didn't sign here to play with a bunch of losers. Let's start performing like we are capable of.

Yes, I took advantage of it.  Should I not? It was in place even if I didn't agree with it.  If I didn't take advantage of it, someone else would have.  Doesn't change that I think it shouldn't be like that so no one (including me) can take advantage of that sort of thing.
 
I will work within whatever rules are in place for the benefit of my team.  You can call it hypocritical but I am not the one who creates the rules.  If it were up to me, that rule was never in place for myself or others in the past to take advantage of.

Hello people of the VHL. I am Really. I hope to have a good time with you guys as I am here with you in the VHL. Thanks in advance for anything.

ya and youre on a good team unlike Quebec

Congrats to me on my first 1000 TPE player. Norse God is in da house!
 
Great run lately guys, whole team is shitting on the opposition.

Surging Americans Lead the League
www.VHLHockeyNews.com
 
Off to arguably their best start in franchise history, the New York Americans are still looking to get better. Xin Xie Xiao had a pair of goals including the game winner, and the New York Americans beat the Helsinki Titans for the second time in a row in the back to back series with a 3-0 win. Odin Tordahl added another goal and Andrey Zadorov had 3 assists as the surging Americans shutout the Titans in back to back games.
 
“We’re doing really well right now. I think we’re 17-2 and but everyone in the locker room thinks we can do better. That’s the exciting part, to think there are things we can do to be a better team. XXX has been on a tear lately and everything he is putting on net seems to be going in. Him and Odie have been a great pair out there, always dangerous and making things happen. Slaughter is always at the right place at the right time and is supporting them with great decisions and smart plays. “ – Assistant Coach Rick Mercer
 

 
The Americans are top team in the league so far just 1/3 into the season with a record of 17-0-2. Odin Tordahl is leading the league with 39 points and teammate Xin Xie Xiao is sitting second in the league with 35 points. Odin is also leading the league with 19 goals and Xin is leading the league in plus/minus. The goalie tandem, that was a questioned move in the off season by GM ADV has been solid thus far though Tuomas Tukio has gotten the majority of the game starts but proven the pickup has been good for the team success.
 
In other news, Jakob Linholm has started off his VHL career fairly decently. A solid all-around player, he has been producing at just shy of 0.5ppg playing with Kellinger and Laich. There is quite a bit of promise in Linholm, a player drafted in S37 whom has put up great numbers in the VHLM. Projected as a solid top six player, Linholm is adapting to the pro game nicely. He skates well, isn’t a liability in his own end and has a great nose for the net. With the exit of Simon Tremblay to the Wranglers, Linholm will have to take charge of the opportunity to solidify himself in the vacant spot. Big shoes to fill (Tremblay was one of the top scorers during his time with the Americans) but ultimately the staff believe he can get there in time.
 

 
Newcomer Wesley Kellinger has also been a great presence on the second line. Not only has he been putting up points, he has been a great veteran presence for youngsters Logan Laich and Linholm. While perhaps not as used to being in a secondary role, Kellinger has thrived in the position and reportedly has been pleased with the team success.
 
Unsung hero and sometimes forgotten on the score sheet is Logan Laich whom leads the team in hits with 82. His punishing style of game has endeared him to fans and his can do attitude is always encouraging in the locker room. A great team player, and a vocal leader in the locker room, Laich has all the makings of a future team leader.
 
With a great collection of star power and youth moving forward, it remains to be seen how the Americans will fare in the playoffs, and how the youngsters on the team will deal with the tough grind as the season drags on.

Tis a real shame I may have three HOF players that played with NYA

An hour and 20 minutes of good content = 5
 
Kay.
 
The rest of it was because of the pajodtask really.  Which we are sorta at the mercy of those who send them in and they should never be taken seriously or as professional.

I'd draft a guy who retires that early...just not sure if I'd draft him #1.  With that being said, solid career.  Gotta start fresh if ya need to.

Carried by RIG C tbh

Yeah, if you were doing a good job of rigging the other goalies' stats we'd have more points you dumb fuck

I don't blame him certainly.  Though, it is a bit odd that this has now happened three times to him.  Usually, at least from my memory of playing hockey, you fall forward from plays like that.

Great work in the early part of the season everyone, we're looking like a powerhouse this year, especially with superstar Logan Laich starting to get going

Americans Looking for Big Things from S37 Draftees

The New York Americans have gone out this off-season and brought together a team that they hope will be able to lead them to a Continental Cup championship in the upcoming season. The team has been very active this past off-season signing notable free agents Wesley Kellinger and Tuomas Tukio. While these new signings, as well as returning stars such as Connor Low, Odin Tordahl and Xin Xie Xiao, will be looked at to carry most of the load for the Americans this next season, it is going to have to be the young guns from the S37 Draft class that will need to step up to set the Americans apart from the rest of the league.

The S37 draft saw the Americans hold the second, third and fourth overall picks in the draft and they decided to use it to round out their top two lines of forwards. With their selections they took Jakob Linholm, Tom Slaughter and Logan Laich to lead them into the future. This upcoming season will be the first time that all three of these picks will be playing together in the VHL and it has the Americans very excited to see what these 3 picks can do.

Tom Slaughter



Tom Slaughter was one of the most highly touted prospects in recent memory and had the entire league excited for his arrival. He had amassed a ridiculous amount of practice hours during his time in the VHLM and was predicted to be one of the favorites to win rookie of the year. He didn't disappoint his first season and managed to rack up an impressive 76 points in 72 games and, just as he was predicted to do, he went on to win the top rookie award. He is expected to do even more damage in the upcoming season and is expected to be a fixture on the Americans top line for many years to come.

Logan Laich



Logan Laich is another highly touted prospect but many people thought he could still use another season in the VHLM to polish his skills. The Americans thought differently and decided to keep him up in S37. While he managed to get an impressive 321 hits in the season his point totals were not impressive putting up a measly 12 points in 72 games. He has shown flashes of greatness and will be looked at to improve his offensive production in the upcoming season.

Jakob Linholm



Linholm was the only one of the three picks to not play the VHL last season and was sent down to the minors to showcase his talents there. During his season with the Minot Gladiators he put up an impressive 129 points as their captain. He has a well-rounded game but nothing that seems to stand out. Just like Slaughter last season, Linholm is one of the favorites to win the Rookie of the Year award and help play a part in the Americans plans for a championship season.

These three young talents will be called upon this season to compete with the very best the game has to offer and perform well each and every night. The Americans is a franchise that demands success and these three will be looked at to elevate their game in the upcoming season and help show that the Americans struck gold in the S37 draft.

Going running in half an hour so will DL and avoid traffic.

When my girlfriend asks me what 'fisting' is.

Ah..the one where New York couldn't win cups.

Also Chris your a moron change your most sportsmanlike 

We are a group supported by topless feminists. We will succeed.

yea victor is quite the bitch.
 
 
 
 
 
I'm setting up a tpe trust fund for you. For every 5 likes I get I will donate 1 tpe to you out of my good will.

Yeah I disagree with some things with how the VHLM is set up but that doesn't mean I'm not going to play the game within the current rules.

I don't agree with the point Chris was originally trying to make, but he is 100% right on one thing: If you think a rule is wrong or exploitable, you should bring that up and try to change it. But as long as it isn't changed, or maybe if the majority of the people in charge don't think it needs to be changed at all, then it is your good right to take advantage of it just like everybody else. This is not hypocritical, in fact I think it is a very honest way to deal with the situation. Playing "holier than thou" doesn't help anyone around here, if you don't exploit it, somebody else will.

Technically I never made an offer for Jericho but I would have. Also I'm not a hypcrit in this situation since I'm not arguing or agreeing with the changes.

As for all the other nonsense above Jamie is right in whatever she is saying and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
