WildfireMicro

1. I was late on this press conference, so no we did not unfortunately 2. I do not believe I did 3. If pro wrestling was an actual sport rather then sports entertainment, Logan would be great at it 4. Probably Doomsday honestly 5. I guess my math skills? 6. I think ether the Vikings or Nighthawks

Izumi watches her fiancee Logan Foley do his practice drills in the training center rink of the Stockholm Vikings. She was let into the facility due to both being a sports journalist and Logan's significant other, and was also taking pictures that she can present to her boss so she can potentially and finally get the promotion that she was aiming to get for a while. As Logan skates by her in a shooting drill, he waves and winks at her before nailing a slapshot right past the goalie, which makes her nearly burst out in laughter at the audacity of it all. Eventually the practice is over, and she is still giggling a bit as she walks up to Logan right after he got dressed back into his normal clothes. "Did you seriously try to impress me with that shit Logan?" She giggles as they begin to walk to the car "I mean I am already going to marry you after the season ends, you don't need to impress me anymore then you already have." "Ehh you were there and I wanted to show out for my beloved." He smiles at her as they get in the car "I know it was ridiculous but it was just as much for the guys in the locker room then it was just for you. I bet a few of them that they would buy me a few bottles of Canadian beer if I would end up landing that shot" "I see" she laughs a bit again before asking "is that a big thing that you miss from your time playing in Mississauga Ontario Canada?" "The beer? Yeah I do think that the beer I was able to drink there was some of the absolute best I have ever drank, so I am now gonna get some from them shipped from Canada to here" "I see" Izumi smiles before remembering something that she was gonna ask him earlier "I was talking to your mother earlier when she called our home phone, and she mentioned that your old job was asking about you" "Really? The mechanic shop I worked at when I was in high school asked about me specifically? They must be really desperate. I know that they were losing money when I left after I graduated high school for college, but I did not think it was that bad" "What did you do there, if I may ask?" "I was mostly the assistant when it came to repairing cars, which meant that I went to grab things that they asked me to grab." Logan explains as they were on the road "it does explain how I am so good with cars, as they made me learn a lot about them from my bosses and coworkers." "I don't know anything about cars except for how to drive them" Izumi admitted sheepishly "I do think that my brake axel has some issues if you want to look at those" "Yeah sure, I'll look at those after we get home honey" Logan smiles "what is wrong with them?" "Well they seem to feel a bit shaky recently, and I am scared they will lock up..."

1. I'd like to believe my player Logan Foley will step up in their absence 2. Unfortunately I see us middle of the pack or lower 3. Unfortunately I have not taken a look at those prospects so I do not know 4. My dad likes to make pork chops and Italian sausage 5. I guess I just steel myself and try my best to get through it 6. I guess I can knock him out with a coffee cup?

"Good morning honey" Izumi smiles as she sees her fiance Logan Foley come into the kitchen "I made some toast and eggs because I am off work today" "That's good honey" Logan smiles before he goes to start eating "yeah I got an off day too." He says between bites "Not too often does our off days actually align, so this is pretty nice" "it is indeed" Izumi says as she sits down to eat too. When they were almost done eating, she turns to him with a bit of an odd question "so why did you choose hockey out of all sports?" "What do you mean by that?" Logan asks, his eyes narrowing "Oh it's just that I overheard you talking to your father on speaker phone and he mentioned that you did play baseball and football when you were younger, so I was just curious. I didn't mean anything bad about it" She reassures him as he finishes off the rest of his meal. His takes a moment to think about his answer before finally walking with her to the living room couch to talk. "Well when I played baseball it was when I was a kid and it was little league." He begins to tell her "I was a decent ball player, played third base and probably hit above the Mendoza line. That means I hit above .200 by the way, and it was named after a baseball player named Mario Mendoza, who failed to reach that like 5 times in the Majors. However, while I liked baseball, I did not like my teammate. They kept making fun of the fact that I could not run very fast" "Wow I did not take you for not much of a runner" Izumi says, surprised "I can skate much faster then I can run honey" Logan shrugs "but for me the last straw came when a kid wrote the word "slow" on my locker. Thankfully, security cameras caught the kid who did it, but I just got sick of baseball after that and refused to play it anymore" "That's... that's sad Logan" Izumi says "I can't believe somebody would do that to you just because you weren't as fast as the other kids. I hope that kid got in hugs trouble" "He got kicked off the team and his father looked furious with him, don't worry." Logan smiles a bit as he remembers, before focusing again "bit as for why I quit football, it was a combination of my slow speed in high school and just not enjoying football as much as I did hockey. Hockey is always my bread and butter and I feel free when I am on that ice. Plus I had a bit of a hard time memorizing every football formation." "Heh reminds me of when I was a high school cheerleader in America. Kept forgetting my formations, but I got by I guess" "You were a high school cheerleader and you never told me?" Logan says, indignant "It was only for a couple of years and it never came up in conversation" Izumi shrugs "I didn't even think of doing it in college while I got my journalism degree" "Heh my degree in college was in programming" Logan smiles "anyways, let's head out and grab some groceries" "Right behind you honey" Izumi smiles

Logan Foley watches his fiance Izumi play Cyberpunk 2077 after he just got off the phone with his agent. "Yeah my agent James was just discussing our new house in Malmo with me for when I am called up. I told him I wanted something close to both the city and the countryside, and it seems like he has actually found it" "That's nice!" Izumi smiles before going to focus back on the game "hey, how about this: Cyberpunk vs Steampunk. I usually prefer Cyberpunk because I like futuristic stuff, but I want to hear about your opinion." "Oh I actually like Steampunk better, but that is probably because I am old school with some of my tastes. Plus, the use of magic makes the most sense with steampunk." "Yeah but there are probably no rules against magic in cyberpunk. Well I don't know if there is actual cyberpunk rules, though I do know that this game in particular is based off of a tabletop game." "Yeah I've been meaning to check that old tabletop game out" Logan smiles "it seems like it would be fun for us to try out. I think I just like Steampunk more just because I watched a lot of anime movies and played a lot of games based on that aesthetic." "Yeah I understand" Izumi says before getting out her phone "hey let's see how much the tabletop games are going for..."

(Again idk what to call this) "Welcome home honey" Izumi, Logan Foley's longtime fiance, says as he walks into their condo in Stockholm"I am making us some Sushi, my mom's recipe" "That sounds great honey." Logan says as he walks past her and into the bathroom"I am sorry that I can't talk, but I need to look at this bloody nose" "Bloody nose?!" Izumi exclaims as she walks past him. He had gotten a noticable cut on the bridge of his nose that is being covered by a bandage, and it looked like it hurt a lot. "What happened? Were you attacked by anyone?" "No I got checked pretty badly bear the end of our game, and they did thier best to help it heal. Crap it hurts" "Well it is going to hurt Logan" Izumi says sympatheticly "doesn't look broken though at least, so that is good" "Yeah I got that to be thankful for, as we need me to be able to play the upcoming games. We were in first, but it seems like we have fallen into the middle of the pack unfortunately. I think we can catch Geneva if we keep doing our best though" He takes another look at the cut "another food thing is that the team doctor said it would not need stitches so I dodged a bullet right there" "Yeah, I once got a worse cut while I was biking and landed into a spiky bush when I was 13" Izumi shudders a bit "I can still remember how much that hurt" "How did you land into a bush though?" Logan asks, curious "it seems like it would have been you losing control of the bike or something like that" "I wanted to see if I could jump past the bush" Izumi sighs "I almost succeeded, but the wheel of the bike just caught the bush and sent me right into it. Pulling all the big spikes out of me was rather unpleasant" "Ok we should probably talk somehing else rather then injuries." Logan says, cringing a bit while Izumi nods "got any new big stories you are working on in the sports world?" "Oh! I am working on a story about an amateur street youth hockey league" Izumi smiles "not exactly a big story, however it is nice to talk to those kids who may be future VHL stars at some point" "That does sound great. Seeing thier names in the magazines will make those kids say, I know that it did for me way back when" Logan smiles, then looks at Izumi a bit suspiciously "by the way, I did hear from a co-worker of yours that you mentioned that we are going to get married to everyone in the office" "What?! Was it Misty?" Izumi asks, to which Logan nods "ugh that gossiper I swear!" She then sighs "However, I just figured that everyone will figure it out sooner or later" she puts a hand on his shoulder "we still are going to get married in your home town of Long Island, right?" "In that small building by the lake near my childhood home, yes" "Then we will do our best to still make it as private as we can. Besides, it's hard to hide the ring" "Yeah I guess you're right." Logan says as he hugs her "just be a bit careful who you tell. Anyways, let's start on this sushi!" "About to start on it now!"

1. Just improve on what we have been doing and start a winning streak 2. Anyone can step up, but I see Ivan doing it 3. Winning the E cup with the Vasteras Iron Eagles 4. Ether simmer or Commissioner 5. Stop all the big blowouts and actually make goalies better 6. Ether video game art or paintings

1. Just keep improving and doing what we do best 2. Probably Rome or Geneva because of how close they are to us in the standings. 3. I'm gonna be optimistic and say 81 4. Picasso, easily. 5. The recorder. Hated that thing. 6. Ham for me. Love a good ham.

"Hello Logan! My name is Axel Johansson, and I am the owner of Swedish Sports Magazine" The boss of Izumi's job says as he shakes Logan Foley's hand. He is large and rather tall, with a thick beard and balding hair. "It's nice to meet you too!" Logan smiles as they shake hands "I assume Izumi has talked about me?" "Yeah, and she has gotten me quite a few good articles about you and your team" Axel says as he goes to grab a soft drink on his desk "I just wanted to meet you face to face in order to know who she is truly getting all these tips from" "How much is she telling you?" Logan says as he raises an eyebrow "there is quite a few things I would like to keep between us" "Well it's just how you are feeling after each game, and what your thoughts on both the team and the country of Sweden. Don't worry, I do not think she is telling me anything she should not be" "That's good, I like to keep some things private about our relationship. I believe that trust is the most important thing in any relationship" "Same here, probably part of the reason I've been married for over 30 years" Axel chuckles a bit "anyways I hope that I get to hear from you soon, so I'll see you then" "Same for me" Logan says as he goes back to meet with Izumi outside.

Yeah I figured. This was not a serious proposal, more just a nice topic I could use for a 500+ word article

Hey guys and gals and everything in between WildfireMicro here with an idea that just popped into my head while I was looking at Discord: What If The VHL Had Trading Cards? Basically, this media spot will go over some ideas for a potential VHL trading card series and how I personally think it could work. Now obviously these are nothing more than suggestions however I think that pondering on what could be can be good for us all. I will be going over what each trading card can look like, how users will get packs of them, and how each user will get their player on a card. So without any further ado, let's begin! So first of all, let's go over how each card will look like. Basically the cards will most likely each be graphics of the players render inside a card. So no these will not be physical cards, nor will they be bought with actual real money (we don't want to bring an NFT issue into here). They will just be renders of the VHL players that we can collect and trade around. Now one thing that might make it easier on the creators of the cards is that I think only players who have played in the VHL and not in the lower leagues should get cards. There are probably some arguments for getting VHLE or even VHLM cards, however for the purposes of this media it will be VHL only. So with that being said, how would a user be able to attain a pack? Honestly, this is a big tricky part for me, and it can go a number of different ways. I personally believe that a user should be able to get a pack a day for free at the very least, and maybe later down the line find some way to figure out how users can be able to earn extra packs. Someone smarter then me can figure out how a user would earn those extra packs, but regardless one free pack a day I feel is pretty fair in the end. Also I believe that each card should have a tier based on how much TPE the player has. However, this can have the unfortunate side effect of putting extra strain on those making the cards so just having each card have a single tier and only adding a new card for a player should be done when a player switches teams. Maybe also eventually having special cards like Hall of Fame or Awards cards can be something cool we can do. Now obviously we would not have anybody male those cards for nothing, so maybe having job pay can be good for those doing it. This does have an unfortunate effect of maybe being too taxing of a job for the reward, but like I said someone smarter than me can figure it out. While this is not so much of a proposal as it is just thinking of the possibilities, I still hope that you enjoyed the idea that I brought up. This isn't a big task that needs to be done right now, and I understand if we have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed this and I hope to see you all on the ice!

1. We share the love when it comes to scoring and don't just have one star carrying everyone 2. Probably Thor, he's been involved a lot in scoring 3. A rebuilding Malmo team 4. skateboarding if the X Games don't count 5. A quiet one easily 6. I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with defunct franchises to answer

Sup everyone WildfireMicro here and my VHLE team the Stockholm Vikings have gotten off to quite the hot start. 11 wins with only 1 loss and 22 points total, while the next teams closest to us are tied with 7-4-1 records in the Istanbul Red Wolves and the Geneva Rush, who also both have 15 points each. Don Aven of the Vikings is currently leading the VHLE in points with 21, while his teammate John Richards is third in points with 19. Jorgen Von Strangle is 9th with 14. John Richards is tied for first in the league in terms of goals with 9, and Don Aven and my player Logan Foley are tied for 7th place with 6 goals each. Don Aven gets most of his points from assists however, as he is second in the the league in them with 15, only one assist below Maxwell Mathias of the Geneva Rush who has 16. Jorgen Von Strangle is in a three way tie for 6th place with 11 assists. John Richards is tied for 9th with 19 assists. Also worth mentioning is that Logan Foley has 2 game winning goals. Surprisingly though, no Stockholm player has a hat trick yet in the early season, however that does show that not just one player is getting all the goals and that we are sharing the love around to all the players.

(I have no idea what to title this I am sorry) Logan Foley was in high spirits. Despite still being in the VHLE, his team in the Stockholm Vikings were still seemingly quite good and they were riding a win streak of a few games and he had just managed to get back to his condo in Stockholm Sweden. As he walked in, he saw his fiance Izumi playing a game called Twisted Metal Head-On on his old PS2 he bought used from a pawn shop. "Hey I did not know that you were into those kinds of games" he says as he sits down next to her "Oh yeah I used to play car combat games when I was younger, though a lot of the Japanese versions were censored unfortunately" she smiles "by the way I have to ask you for a favor, and I do already know that I still owe you a favor from the last time..." "Hey you don't owe me a thing don't worry about it" Logan smiles "so anyways, what do you need?" "Well my boss is getting on my case as he usually does, but now he wants me to somehow get a story where I get interviews with some of the members of the Stockholm Vikings. Whilevi know that you would be ok with me asking you questions, I just don't know if your teammates would be ok with that..." "Oh I understand don't worry I'll try to ask them about it tomorrow" Logan says "also I will have to ask the GM and coaches if this is ok, but maybe I can get you into the locker room to interview the players personally" "Oh that would be fantastic Logan" Izumi smiles excitedly"I know that as a member of the press I should be able to get into locker rooms, but I've always been so nervous going into them. It's weird, but it just makes me feel like I do not belong in them, so maybe having you there with me will help." "Yeah I can see why you would be nervous, I still get nervous when I enter a new locker as a new player. You should have seen how nervous I was when I went into my VHLM team's locker room, I was stuttering and everything!" "I cannot imagine you stuttering Logan" Izumi giggles "however that would be fantastic if you could help me. Also I know that you asked for it when we eventually move to Malmo, but I do not know how we will be able to construct an ice rink in the back of the house, that just seems to be quite the undertaking." "Yeah however I think I know a few construction guys who might be able to help with that, the only issue is maintenance with it. We would definitely not want it to melt. Maybe we should just keep one inside instead of the backyard or anything like that. Like a pool in summer and a rink in winter. I don't know, I am just throwing out ideas here!" "I know you are Logan, and I do love you for how frequently you speak your mind." She kisses him, then picks the controller back up "anyways I gotta unpause this, the level will not play itself!"

1. I predict that we will at least get to the playoffs 2. I'm not exactly sure, but I'm sure the free agents and draftees will make an impact 3. Valhalla calling me by Miracle of Sound 4. Definitely the pepe fridge one 5. if it is a romantic one, can't beat a nice trip to a steakhouse 6. "The Board Game Clue On Skates" I guess

"So you are still staying here in Stockholm for another season?" The Stockholm Vikings GM asks Logan Foley, surprised "I thought you told me that you were going up after just one season here" "Oh I thought I was" Logan admits "however the GM told me that with all the free agent signings and rebuilding, they want me to not have to compete for ice time and have more time to grow my skills" "Yeah I can see where that would make sense" the Vikings GM says, then smiles "of course, we would welcome you coming back for another season and we kept your spot in the locker room just in case this happened" "That is good to hear!" Logan smiles"I'll be heading to the practice facility to meet any new players in the upcoming few days. I hope that I can act as a mentor of sorts to them!" "Of course, you will absolutely be a big leader on the ice! That kind of leadership will be very helpful in helping develop the players and potentially winning a cup" "Yeah, I know how close we were last season and I want to bring us to the promised land as much as anyone on the team. Anyways, I'll touch base with you in a few days so see you then!" "Absolutely, we will see you then Logan"

"You want me to stay in Stockholm for another season?" Logan Foley asks while he was on the phone with the Nighthawks GM, rather surprised "I personally thought it was a done deal that I was heading up. Not that I'm angry or anything, I'm just wondering why." "Well Logan this season we are going to go through quite a unique season with all the free agents we are bringing in." The GM begins to explain "and we just figured that you would like a season where you would not always have to compete for time on the ice" "I guess that makes sense" Logan shrugs and then smiles "however I will definitely want to come up next season, so be prepared for that" "Yeah don't worry Logan we will be prepared" The GM smiles as he writes down some notes onto a piece of paper "we already are preparing your real Malmo jersey and will absolutely have a place for you to stay. Anyways, I hope that we will stay in touch and I hope I get to talk to you again real soon!" "Yeah I'll try to give you an update in the next few upcoming weeks. Let's hope I can bring a cup to Stockholm before I hopefully bring one to Malmo eventually!" "Hell yeah that is what I like to hear Logan! Anyways, I will talk to you later so see you then!" "Alright goodbye!" Logan says as he hangs up the phone and goes to sit down on the couch next to his now fully grown black lab Shadow. "Looks like we will be staying here for the time being boy" he says as he pets his dog "Izumi should be here soon, I hope she won't be upset by this news" he says as he goes to turn on a movie. Soon enough, his girlfriend Izumi comes into the condo yawning and looking tired. She worked as a sports reporter for a well known hockey magazine and website, and had just did a story on a junior hockey league. "Hey honey" she says after another yawn "how was the talk with your GM?" She asks as she sits down next to her boyfriend "Oh he said that because of the rebuilding and free agency stuff, I will be staying down for another season" Logan shrugs "he mentioned not wanting me to have to compete for time on the ice" "I see" she says as she undoes her hair from the ponytail she had it in "I guess he is right. Besides, it does give us more time to prepare for when it is time to move" "Right!" Logan smiles "and I do love the people in Stockholm, so I get to spend just a bit more time with them. Don't worry, this is not Stockholm syndrome" he chuckles a bit at his bad joke "Ehh you might want to work on that one" she says as she pets Shadow, who thankfully does not try to jump at her "but I get it. Also I brought home some chocolate in my purse, and I guess you are a bit hungry" "Well I was gonna heat up some leftovers, but sure!" Logan smiles as he goes to eat the chocolate.

Logan Foley and his girlfriend Izumi were taking some calls from some Swedish businesses that would be interested in having Logan do a sponsorship for them. Logan sighed as he got off another call and said, "yeah, all of this is gonna depend on if I get called up or not, but the GM of Malmo said that it was all gonna depend on what happens during the off-season." "Yeah I can you can't see the future, so we just have to tell them all that it will all depend on what happens later." Izumi sighs a bit, then smirks "you better let me be the first to know when it happens, because being the first to get juicy sports stories like that could get that promotion I want." "Oh trust me honey, you would absolutely be the first to know when something comes up." Logan smiles "however all we can do it just play the waiting game for now, as the off-season will take quite a while" "Oh and by the way, Shadow here is due for his shots" Izumi says as she pets thier black Labrador. "We absolutely do not want to delay on that" "Yeah we need to get that done, so let's just get that over with" Logan says as they all prepare to leave.

1. Hopefully it will be 5 or 6, given that we are now up 3-1. 2. I think that Cologne will be able to take care of business 3. Extremely important, as a goalie getting hot at the right time is great 4. I can do graphics, but I really prefer media of I have to do it weekly. 5. I am planning on getting called up 6. Metal and rock music, and also old school rap.

Logan Foley adjusts a camera as he puts it at an angle so that it can see both himself and his girlfriend Izumi while they have both finished their fancy dinner and we're listening to some live music inside the restaurant. "Hey Logan Foley here, and welcome back to the Logan Blog! This is the first video blog I have actually done, usually I just do written blogs. Also here with me is my lovely girlfriend Izumi, say hi honey" at that Izumi holds up a finger so that he will wait until she finishes drinking some of her Coke. "Hey I am this dorks girlfriend" she giggles at his slightly annoyed reaction. "I don't know how many times he has brought me up in these blogs, but we have been dating for a few months now" "Around 5 months I want to say?" Logan guesses, while Izumi shrugs a bit "I don't keep exact track of how long it has been, I just know that this is our third date. Oh god, please don't tell you are filming this just so you can propose!" "What? No not yet. I'm still extremely busy with the playoffs and the Vikings and getting ready for my call up to the Nighthawks, and besides dad told me to wait at least a year" "That's fair." "I just wanted to show off what we are doing. Also don't worry, I am drinking water not alcohol, I'm not gonna be risking anything. Anyways, Logan out and I will see you all later!"

"And the Stockholm Vikings get a 3-1 lead over the Olso Storm!" The hockey TV main commentary man says as the Vikings team leaves the ice in high spirits "however, I think they should not get cocky with this lead, as we have seen teams come back from this before" "That's right" his partner says "hell it actually happened during the first ever VHL Euro Finals when the Iron Eagles came back from 3-1 and 2-0 in separate series to win it all. The Vikings better not take their foot off the gas, as I am absolutely sure the Storm will be flooring it in desperation." Logan Foley's girlfriend Izumi changes the channel at that as she goes to grab a drink to wait for Logan to get back home. He had promised her that before the next game, he would head home to take her to a nice fancy dinner, so now it was just down to the waiting game for her. Sure enough, not too long after that Logan comes into the house, smiling big but stinking of sweat. "Hey honey." He smiles at Izumi after putting his bag down on a countertop. "I wouldn't go and try to kiss me right now, I need to take a shower first." "Don't worry I can both see and smell that" Izumi chuckles a bit as her boyfriend goes to get in the shower "pretty good game from all of you, but I was scared that you were going to forget about our date in the heat of the moment" "I almost did I will admit" Logan shrugs a bit "however I rememberd as soon as I got back in the car" "Good" she says as she hands him a towel and clothes at arms length "I got you some clothes to wear tonight, I think they will be perfect for it. Come on and grab them, the smell is getting to me" "Alright, I'll be out in a bit" Logan says as he grabs the clothes and goes to take a shower. When he eventually gets out, he sees Izumi petting his pet black Labrador puppy Shadow "I hope that the little man hasn't been causing you too much trouble" "On no, he has been a very good boy" Izumi smiles "your beard is getting pretty long" "Well should I shave it or something?" "Actually no, I like it long" she says as she gets up from the chair "besides you look way better with a beard then without." She gets closer to him and examines it "actually maybe you should trim it a bit after the playoffs" "Yeah I figured that I will keep it for the playoffs then shave most of it" Logan shrugs "anyways, do you need time to get ready?" "Oh yes, I need to make sure my hair looks good!" She says as she goes into the bathroom "I got it done earlier today, but it's been a bit so you never know" "Well obviously I wouldn't know much about that" Logan shrugs "only thing I know about hair is shaving and beard maintenance" "I know honey. Anyways, I think I am ready to go, so shall we?" "Absolutely, let's do this" Logan says as they both head out of the house

1. By the time I got to this, we ended up being third 2. It looks like the Rush ended up being 4th 3. It takes all of us, but Alex has been a big help 4. I think it is fair, you may have lost but they couldn't beat you in regular time 5. Probably thought that we were doing too good and needed to be brought down a peg 6. I was in EFL and SBA, but their portal is not as good as VHL's so I left. I am in PBE and a few others now

Izumi pets the puppy named Shadow that her boyfriend Logan Foley had found on the street as Logan comes into the house. Izumi greets him as the pup playfully tries to nibble her finger "Well we get to skip the Wild Card round." Logan says, smiling "that's good, just lays out a better path for us to go through in the playoffs" "That is great honey" Izumi says as she puts Shadow down and let's Logan pet the very excited pup "I hope that I can get some pictures of you in hockey gear before you play the first home playoff game" "Oh absolutely" Logan smiles "I will get you in the locker room before the game to get the shots, however that will probably be as far as I will be able to get you" "That is fair honestly" she says as she gets up to go grab a drink "now I am just gonna drink a bit before heading to bed, it was a long day today with all the work I had to do in editing" "Wait I thought someone else took care of editing?" "Well she was sick today" Izumi shrugs "they needed this story out today, so I couldn't just wait for her to get better." "Well good thing you have good editing skills" Logan chuckles as he goes to find something to eat.

Logan Foley was driving around Stockholm, heading home after his trip to the grocery store. The VHLE season was winding down, and Logan did have a bit more time this week to and grab some groceries before he had to potentially head out and play some playoff hockey. As he was driving down the street towards his condo, he has to suddenly stop his car to just barely avoid hitting a dog he could just see about to run onto the street through his window. "Well crap..." Logan says to himself as he gets out of the car after pulling it over by the crub "I wonder if the owner is anywhere watching this dog..." The the dog itself is a black Labrador not even a year old, and it had no collar or any kind of identification tag on it. "I wonder if it is a stray" Logan says as he goes towards the dog, who slowly goes nears him and sniffs his outstretched hand before licking it. As it licks his hand, Logan can see that it is a male "Maybe I should see if it has any chip on him." Logan leads the dog to his car, and helps him get in it. He then grabs his phone and calls the local vet office "hello, I have found this stray dog that is not even a year old, and I was wondering if you have any time today that we can go and check to see if he has any diseases or any chip in him." "Oh well that is unusual to find a stray that young" the receptionist says, surprised "nonetheless, we do have a spot free if you can get here within the next hour or two" "Absolutely, I'll be there in half an hour at the most" Logan says, as he sets his GPS to lead him to the vet. Ever since he had moved to Stockholm Sweden, he had been using that GPS a lot to get him through the unfamiliar Sweden cities and countrysides. "I really hope that you can stay with me little buddy, but if you have an owner then we will find them for you" he smiles at the puppy who was starting to fall asleep "it would be nice to have a pet that I can pet whenever I am frustrated with the Vikings and me losing" Soon enough, Logan reaches the veterinary clinic and carries the puppy into the waiting room. After setting him up with a complementary collar and leash, the receptionist let's Logan through the the vet doctor and his assistant. "Hmmm this is an interesting pup" the Doctor says as he examines him "we can't find a chip inside him, so we have no way to identify where he came from" "So I guess he really was just a stray" Logan shrugs "but damn, a stray that young?" "Yeah some people can be horrible about what happens to animals that can't take care of" the doctor sighs "however, if you plan on adopting him, how about giving him a name?" "Well how about we call him Shadow?" Logan smiles as he pets Shadow's ear, who tries to playfully bite his fingers. "That is a pretty good name for him" the Vet smiles "now we can set him up with some food and you can keep the collar and leash, but the rest is up to you" "Don't worry doc, I got it all covered" Logan smiles as he leads Shadow by his leash out of the vet and into his new life.
