Lovely intro music, put me right in the mood for a good listen. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!!! OMFG I typically bring the thunder to the locker room**, not trying to brag or anything. **that was a lie. WSBL should be a radio station, no? I'm in-to @MubbleFubbles (cool guy) Remember that defense wins championships, and the VHFL. What would be the theme of your old man calendar? Rubbing people the right way is always the right way to go. Strict level around a 4 might be the answer? Hard to say for sure, perhaps decimals need to be involved. Sea water into nuclear bombs you say? Brilliant! **beings making plans to do so Great show!

It was a rough weekend for me in terms of my health. I’m dealing with a herniated disc in my neck (much like Eichel) only I can’t go and afford a private surgery to remove and replace the disc, so I have to wait. Just means I’m in pain 24/7, nbd. Well, the season has begun and the results for Fuhr have been fantastic. I like what I am seeing, and I know that all goalies are getting record numbers due to the attribute switch. This is something I am not going to complain about but what I will say is that I still like my build thus far. I have a good sense now of where I am going to take it for the remainder of my career, but hot damn is it good to see such results in my rookie season. Do goalies ever win rookie of the year? I know it takes a quick check from me to see if any have won but I don’t think it’s too often… could this be the year for me? Those would be HIGH hopes at best, but I think I’ll comfortably play around with the idea in my head a little longer. When does hoping hurt?

Yes I have and I'm a huge Poolside fan, I actually used the cover in my very first podcast, sooooo good.

Producer @Phil returns to the Tate network at the 40 minutes mark, hope you enjoy it!

I put this in the wrong forum because it's Monday, can @Josh move to VHL.com articles for me? (sorry)

Nice to see that preseason has arrived as it’s been a longer offseason than normal with the attribute changes. I am really excited to see how it plays out this season and beyond, and I am cautiously optimistic that we will finally be able to see some diversity when it comes to player builds. So far so good for Fuhr, I mean, we didn’t win a game but the results from my tender are promising. I think I am on the right track when it comes to my individual build, and I am curious about how this will all play out for when I finally hit depreciation. The one thing I never got to do my first time around with a goalie in STHS was finish my build, so this will all be a new experience from here on out. Looks like I’ll be the starter for the Wolves as there is no other competition to take the net from me, and I can’t complain. I was hoping this would be the case for when I recreated, so now my only job is to make sure I keep it.

Vancouver, BC - Canada The press conference room is alive with casual conversation while the group of reporters awaits the arrival of the Vancouver Wolves administration. Today is an exciting day in the history of the Wolves franchise as Vancouver is expected to introduce their new top draft selection, Brandt Fuhr. The rookie goaltender is destined to fill the void left by the recently retired Thadius Sales and the bar is quite high for Fuhr should he ever expect to reach the same heights as the previous tender. The room quiets as the door leading to the conference opens and in walks the management team of the Wolves, however, noticeably absent is Brandt Fuhr. The reporters pick up on the confusion from the administration as they look back for their promising star, certain that he had been following behind them only moments before. The assistant to the General Manager quickly walks back through the door in which they came while the remaining management members take their seats at the press conference table. After several minutes the assistant to the General Manager emerges from the hallway with a look of absolute worry on his face. The assistant moves fast to the side of his manager and whispers in his ear. The General Manager of the Wolves, Nyko, does his best to hide his surprised look while he hears the news, and after a lengthy explanation Nyko shifts slightly so that he can speak into the microphone in front of him, “It would appear,” he starts to say before he nods in the direction of his assistant, dismissing him, “That our prospect is lost.” A loud commotion fills the room as reporters discuss this revelation. A hand is thrown up in the crowd as a reporter calls out a question, “Will he still be attending the conference?” Nyko nods slightly, “We hope so.” “Do you know where he is?” Nyko hesitates for a moment before he shakes his head, “We believe he’s still in the building.” Another hand is thrust up from another reporter, “Was he aware of the press conference?” Nyko nods, “Oh yes, he was. In fact, he only went missing before we stepped into the room.” “Is it possible he was kidnapped?” Nyko shakes his head furiously, “No, I don’t believe so, of course not.” “What are your expectations for Brandt Fuhr?” Nyko thinks about the question for only a moment before he answers, “We see him in Vancouver at the start of next season. We want to give him every opportunity we can to grab a hold of the starting job, but we’re not going to give it to him. Every Wolf has to earn their place in the pack.” Suddenly the assistant to the General Manager approaches Nyko again, and whispers once more in his ear, “You’re kidding,” Nyko says to the assistant with his statement being caught by the microphone. The assistant shakes his head, indicating he is not kidding. Nyko rubs his forehead for a moment in clear frustration before he leans back into the microphone in front of him, “We’re sorry everyone, but it would appear as though Fuhr has left the building. We will have to reschedule.”

- Well, here it is Monday morning and I feel like I got no weekend at all. We had a hiccup in my RL when my son took off running toward the road and my wife subsequently went after him, only to trip and absolutely wreck her ankle. A bad sprain, and not broken, but this has meant that I spent all weekend on my feet taking care of both of them. - Things went just as expected when it comes to how the VSN scouted the draft, and lo and behold I went second overall to Vancouver. I am beyond happy to join the Wolves for a number of reasons including the fact that they have a kick ass brand, and a history of success. One of the best aspects of joining the Wolves as well is I have a clear path to starting in net, which was something I was wondering about all last season. - I find it somewhat interesting that not a single VHLE team contacted me ahead of their draft and let me fully explain that statement. I know that the consensus was that I wouldn’t go to the E because of my earn rate but I did go on record stating I would be open to it. Perhaps it was the fact that I was drafted by the Wolves that put the nail in the coffin? Since they had no goalie I would assume that most GM’s just thought that I would go up regardless (which has happened), BUT I did expect to at least get messaged about it. No big deal, I’m not upset, just find it interesting.

The title says it all, would it be possible to add them? I’ve always found it interesting who chooses what number/has what number and it would be awesome to see numbers displayed on the portal team page.

'Twas the day before the draft, and all through the VHL The prospects are stirring, and saying farewell; Goodbye my VHLM team, their speech is sincere, Hello VHL and Europe, I’ll be right there. The GM’s are nestled, all snug in their chairs, While visions of players dance playfully in the air; The Blue’s are ready, the portal intact, And once it’s all over, we’ll all want to nap. When suddenly on Discord there arose such a chatter, Baozi sprang from his chamber to see what was the matter. “Off to mute!” He exclaimed like the madman he is, Cleaning up gen chat by dispelling the gifs. "Now, BANA! Now, ALEX! Now, RAYZOR and ENO! On, SPARTAN! On DOM! On, HEDGE and on NYKO! Now, Cow! Now, DOOM! Now, McWolf and RICER! On, DLAMB!
