Daniel Janser

The thing is you can get to 65 checking if you only invest 1 per related hybrid attribute (bodycheck). Which then lets people invest in more important attributes. And few dare touch 'grit' as this also increases fighting which most do not like. So you either have to invest more points into checking or you tap into grit. And neither of these options are popular atm. So basically the checking is lower in average as it used to be and hence Sakamoto stands out as they invested more points in it than Joe Average. In German we have a saying 'amongst the blind, the one-eyed is king'. That is what happened here, I think.

that is not difficult, Davos is basically a glorified hamlet

Mumbai Pickles, these are cocktail swords just like these:

I really like the read and your explanation why you gave the rating you have given. Very interesting and I did even read all the positions not only Calgary's

Welcome to the VHL Stroheim, We are in the offseason at the moment, but the VHLM entry draft is just around the corner and you could push your draft stock by getting some extra TPE, which you can use to develop your player. If that is something you are interested in, let me know via DM or answer to this message and I can help you to get started. Kind regards, Daniel

Congrats @Arce, I bet you didn't see that coming

Graphic courtesy of Leandrofg (Marcel's stats/Daniel's stats) Things happened in the WCJH and the ProAm Tournament and without any further prelude, please find the respective news wrapped up for your reading pleasure. 6-1 Marcel's Team Europe conquered Asia in a landslide 6-1 win. The deal was pretty much sealed when the Europeans scored three unanswered goals in the first period with Gonçalves, Larsson and Sogaard finding the back of the net. The dominance continued in the second period but only resulted in Puk's first goal of the tournament. Gonçalves further increased the lead, before Bennet spoiled Mercier's shutout with a shorthanded goal. Sogaard reinstated the five goal lead before the match's end though. The three stars were awarded to Gonçalves (2g/1a), Larsson (1g/2a) and Sogaard (2g/0a). The goalie duell was almost a non contest with Mercier (.938) besting Wallob (.870) who at times appeared clueless as to where the puck was. Team Europe's power play was a tire fire, as they did not only fail to score a goal in four attempts, they were also scored against. The penalty kill units however showed good form and shut the door on Asia's two attempts. Marcel was reported with 0g, 1a, +3 and 1sb. 5-4 The second featured match did not go as much in Europe's favour as the previous one, and was lost 5-4 to the perennial favourite Canada. Young in power play for Canada and Larsson on even strength for Europe scored in the first frame. Young and one of his lesser known team mates scored in the second period, interrupted by Sogaard. The third period ended 2-2 with Elsby and Komaryk scoring for the Maple Leafs and Bridgers as well as Marconi for the Old World. Larsson (1g/1g), Young (2g/0a) and Xavier (0g/2a) were given the post match honours. Kennedy (.892) had an edge over Jute (.839) in net. Europe's power play was subpar (1/6) and the box play was a disgrace (3/6) on even strength, the Europeans were the better team. Marcel logged 0g, 1a, -1, 2 PIM (Holding Stick, did not lead to a goal against), 1 hits and 1sb. 3-1 In the direct rematch, Europe came back with a vengeance, winning the game 3-1. It was the Canadian team to open the score with Bouchard's power play goal. But that was all the offense Canada had that night. Sogaard with a power play marker of his own equalized the game before the first horn sounded. Wallace and Larsson with a double strike in the second period achieved already the final score, as the third period came and went with neither team being able to find the back of the net. The three stars went to Mercier (32 saves), Gonçalves (0g/2a) and Larsson (1g/0a). Mercier (.970) showed an all-star performance but also Kennedy's (.930) performance was remarkable and kept the Maple Leafs in the game. Europe's special teams were again not up to the tasks put in front of them with only one of six power plays converted and allowing one goal in two box play situations. Marcel left the ice with 0g, 0a, +1, 2 hits and 1sb. 1-2 (SO) In a tight game that had no business of being tight, the Europeans secured two points against the Asian team in a 2-1 shootout win. Marcel in power play hammered Daniels' blocked deflection (Sakamoto sacrificed his body) past the Asian netminder for a 1-0 lead in the first period. In the second frame, Retoslav with a power play marker tied the game. This was the score after 60 minutes as well as the sudden death. Asia can thank Bryzgalov to be in the race at all as the shot count was 47-25 in favour of Team Europe. Larsson buried the deciding penalty in the shootout. Bryzgalov (46 saves), Jute (24 saves) and Sakamoto (5sb) were named three stars of the game. Bryzgalov (.979) singlehandedly dragged his team in to OT and SO, and kept his inept team mates in the game as long as he could. Alas, he succumbed to the cold blooded European scorers. Jute had a respectable save rate of .960 which in nine out of ten cases would be enough to be the better netminder, but not this night. Europe's special teams sought redemption and recorded 1/3 for the power play and 5/6 for the penalty kill, both respectable numbers. Marcel was noted with 1g, 0a, +0, 4 PIM (Hooking and Holding, both inconsequential to the result) and 1 hit. 2-1 In the next match the tables were turned. Europe had no right to keep the match as tight as it was and had to concede the game 2-1. Thunder for the US scored first early on the first on power play. Mitchell followed up with a marker early in the second, before Hagel cut the lead in half with a power play goal. No goals were scored in the third period. The three stars were awarded to Wilson (31 saves), Mercier (50 saves) and Mitchell (1g/0a). Despite Mercier's (.962) herculean effort, he lost the game as well as the goalie duel against stellar Wilson (.969). Europe's special teams kept them in the game with power play being super efficient (1/3) and a gritty box play which drove the US boys almost to desperation (9/10). Marcel had 0g, 0a, +0, 7 PIM (Fighting and Goalie Interference, no goal against scored during the penalty kill), 3 hits and 5sb to his name. 5-3 Europe beat the world in an entertaining match with 5-3. Especially the first period was very lively at least score wise as McKay, Daniels (on power play) and Greg netted for Europe while Voss and Maple each converted a penalty against Europe. In second frame Bridgers profited from a bad line change on World's side and scored shorthanded. Gonçalves and Voss (on an other power play goal) were responsible for the final score with their third period goals. Gonçalves (1g/1a), Janser (0g/3a) and Voss (2g/1a) were named the three stars of the night. Vandelay (.884) had one of his weaker games and lost the showdown between the pipes against Mercier (.909) accordingly. Europe's power play was okay (1/5) but the box play remains a source of concern with three goals allowed in six attempts. Marcel was reported with a 0g, 3a, +3 and 2sb record. The young Swiss finished the Round Robin with the following stats: 8gp, 1g, 6a, 7pts, +4, 20 PIM, 8 hits, 16sb, 1ppg and one nomination for second star. Daniel's Yorkshire Sissies recorded the following results: 7-2 win against the Bagles 4-2 win against the Bagles 0-2 loss against Kodiak 3-4 OT loss against the Jerseys 3-2 win against the Bagles 5-2 win against the Jerseys 2-4 loss to the Hawks At the time of writing this article the Sissies show a 5-4-2 record and are smack in the middle of the five participating teams. Daniel's record for the S83 ProAm as of yet is: 11gp, 2g, 6a, 8pts, -3, 10 PIM, 29 hits, 1sb Stay tuned for further updates. https://vhlforum.com/topic/121119-a-tale-of-two-brothers-five-sixth-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121157-a-tale-of-two-brothers-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121641-a-tale-of-two-brothers-season-end-season-end/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121774-a-tale-of-two-brothers-quiet-in-calgary/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/122032-a-tale-of-two-brothers-boulevard-of-broken-dreams/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/122431-a-tale-of-two-brothers-off-season-off-duty/ GM 8: Team Europe vs. Team Asia (vhlportal.com) GM 11: Team Canada vs. Team Europe (vhlportal.com) GM 15: Team Europe vs. Team Canada (vhlportal.com) GM 16: Team Asia vs. Team Europe (vhlportal.com) GM 17: Team Europe vs. Team USA (vhlportal.com) GM 18: Team Europe vs. Team World (vhlportal.com) PROAM - Game 11 - Sissies vs Bagels (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 13 - Bagels vs Sissies (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 15 - Sissies vs Kodiak (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 18 - Jerseys vs Sissies (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 21 - Sissies vs Bagels (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 25 - Jerseys vs Sissies (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 28 - Hawks vs Sissies (sths.ca) 1100+ words

Thanks for your insight I think they are helpful especially for relatively unexperienced GMs such as me. I would never take constructive criticism such as your above article sideways. I do my best to improve my GMing style without changing my overall winning personality Having heard only good stuff about your GMing style gives your input even more weight than it already had (even you though you were GM of Davos DAVID(RL Davos is my RL hockey club's nemesis, that is where this statement comes from)). For the record: I would not be adverse to play for Davos DAVID Dynamo in the future, but this player is sold lock, stock and barrel to Calgary.

What about the VHLM though (if and when you recreate)? Asking for a friend...

That is why I make 1.5 Million per season more than you On a more serious note, that I have overlooked (yes my eyesight rivals RC's for the worst in the league)... does that mean a mutual option to extend the contract beyond the stated seasons?

hmm where have I seen that pattern before? Ah yes now I remember Daniel Janser has accepted a Signing Offer from Calgary: S84: $2,500,000 (NTC) S85: $2,500,000 (NTC) S86: $2,500,000 (NTC) S87: $2,500,000 (NTC) S88: $2,500,000 (NTC) Looks like as we are both Lifers @Shindigs

I hear rumours that Juan Ceson @dylanjj37 has married Ms Moore and is now officially known as Juan Ceson-Moore. Is this true?

Why do I hear a 'ta ta tataa tatata' in my head when looking at this signature?

That happens to one who is married to the Mother of Dragons Sick graphic as always @OrbitingDeath

With the rules of the series, chances are you are facing Moscow in the finals when you will the elusive cup

Graphic courtesy of Leandrofg (Marcel's stats/Daniel's stats) Our modern William Tells demonstrate on an impressive level why 'off-season' is not tantamount to 'off-duty'. At least not for the hardworking Janser clan. We will start with Marcel and Team Europe in the S83 WJC: 2-1 In a tight match, Team Europe under the guidance of Gonçalves, Champagne and Janser lost 2-1 to Team World. Europe was on the board first with Sogaard mid-way through the first. However, Vasteras forward Chang in the second and the long missing Boudreaux in power play turned the match around for the Unicef-troupe. The three stars were Vandelay (21 saves), Boudreaux (1g/0a) and Chang (1g/0a). We think in this judgement Voss (0g/2a) was anally fisted by a circus monkey. Team Europe was getting a dose of 'getting Vandelayed' (.955 save rate), something a lot of teams in the VHLM can sing a song about. However, Mercier's saving percentage of .941 was nothing to scoff at either. Team Europe's power play was weak with 0/2 and the penalty kill decent (6/7) despite having the game winner scored against in a man disadvantage. Marcel left the ice with a 0g, 0a, -1, 2 PIM (Slashing, lead to the fateful goal against), 1 hit and 2sb. 2-3 In an other one-goal game Europe tore the three points from USA's dead, cold hands in a 3-2 win. Gonçalves started the proceedings early in the first period, just to be equalized three minutes later by Mitchell. In the second period Hagel, re-united with Janser for the third time after their Brigade and S81 Halifax days, scored in power play. It remained the sole goal in the frame. Two minutes into the third, Pete 'the Equalizer' Mitchell evened the score again. However, an apex predator named Greg would have none of it and scored in an other power play for Team Europe for the final score. With less than two minutes to play Argos got frustrated and was looking for a fight. And a fight he got. Marcel dropped the gloves shortly followed by Argos who left the rink on a stretcher. It was a clear k.o. after an uppercut from the feisty Swiss. Spectator close to the bench claim to have Kurt Janser to have uttered something like 'Atta boy'. Mitchell (2g/0a), Sogaard (0g/2a) and Gonçalves (1g/0a) were awarded the three stars of the night. Jute (.938) and Price (.932) both showed good form with the advantage on the German netminder's side. Both special teams showed improvement with a solid power play (2/8) and an immaculate box play (3/3). Marcel was reported with a 0g, 1a, -1, 5 PIM (Fighting, no power play) and 4sb. Daniel with the 'Yorkshire Sissies' is not nearly as successful as his younger brother. Sissies' record stands at 1-2-1 with the results being a 8-3 defeat against the Hawks, a 2-0 defeat against the Jerseys, a 5-0 win in the rematch against the Jersey Jerseys and an 3-2 OT loss against Kodiak. Here are the stats for the two brothers in the aggregate: Marcel: 2gp, 0g, 1a, -2, 7 PIM, 1 hit, 6sb Daniel: 4gp, 0g, 2a, -5, 4 PIM, 10 hits, 0sb and a 29.47FO% We will report on news as soon as they develop. https://vhlforum.com/topic/121119-a-tale-of-two-brothers-five-sixth-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121157-a-tale-of-two-brothers-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121641-a-tale-of-two-brothers-season-end-season-end/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/121774-a-tale-of-two-brothers-quiet-in-calgary/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/122032-a-tale-of-two-brothers-boulevard-of-broken-dreams/ GM 3: Team World vs. Team Europe (vhlportal.com) GM 6: Team USA vs. Team Europe (vhlportal.com) PROAM - Game 3 - Sissies vs Hawks (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 4 - Sissies vs Jerseys (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 6 - Jerseys vs Sissies (sths.ca) PROAM - Game 9 - Kodiak vs Sissies (sths.ca) 533 words

Speaking of Goalies: Congrats to the Socceroos for making the World Cup as the second to last team thanks Thanks to Andrew 'The Wiggles' Redmayne

I would not put it beyond Steve that this is intentional to suggest that the Bears won it all and hence are in closer proximity to the cup.... or I interpret too much into it, and it is just as you said...

Trivia questions?

Should I be accepted I could bring them to Zurich, Switzerlands most hated city... but then again this might be a Swiss overkill with Geneva already in the E

applied

Not exactly correct by my reading. In both instances the acquisition of his own player requires the league's approval as per 14.1. of the VHL rule book.

But very good read all the same taking into account positional needs, history in case of recreates and prospects in the pipeline, sorry should have started with that and then point out the Berocka thingy, mea culpa.

Berocka's last player was this one, though. Still, TPE are roughly the same and he spent almost his whole career in Davos DAVID...
