Scurvy

Ive been hitting it pretty hard for last few months which is easier in the winter since it's rainy and cold where I am mostly. We have a full gym in the garage that includes rower, skier, punching bag, assault bike, peloton treadmill, rack with weights, and dumbbells. Wife is a fitness nutter so even when I am lazy she drags my ass out there. Been lifting pretty steady, like 4-5 days a week, but cardio has taken a backseat. Need to balance both and would like to drop about 5lbs by summer.

Review: First......WOW! That is an epic tribute to a generational talent in Molly the Cat. The article was great, explaining just how important the Cat was to the franchise with historical facts(ie Draft location, captaincy) and even how you came to franchise later on in the Cat's career and just how much of a tribute it was for you to retire this number. And what makes this even more amazing is the video tribute which I wish I knew how in the hell you did it!!! I am always drawn to the articles that provide tribute to a player that not only talks about their success but also what they meant to the locker room and players or the VHL as a whole. Amazing tribute. 10/10

Congrats !! Well deserved

Home with a sick kid today so chilling. Plan to work out and then veg the rest of the day. Sun is out, a rarity in Washington State this time of year so plan to enjoy it a little

While this off-season seems incredibly long there has been some things going on to keep me interested. Although, at least in the Vancouver locker room the team is hungry for the start of the upcoming season. We’ve had the WJC, Pro-Am, and drafts lately which have been fun but still it sometimes is hard to write media spots during off-season but I will do my best. VHLM Draft The VHLM draft started, and the Mississauga Hounds went with towering defenseman, Erik Thorvaldsson @Tetricide. Erik is big, nasty, and has skills so it should be fun to see what he can do on a re-tooling Hounds team. Other draft notables: #2- Pierre Marc Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito– Halifax- a solid and speedy center who in his quick time in Saskatoon showed he could score against VHLM talent and shoots the puck early and often. Solid pickup for the 21s. #3- Lazlo Holmes @Gustav - Saskatoon- A defenseman who can dangle and score he averaged over a point per game with Halifax in his quick stint there. Joins a powerful rookie defensive core in SSK that looks to shut down the league. #4-Jillian Woods @jacobcarson877-Ottawa- small and quick, this is well rounded defensive player that can do it all. Joins a talented Ottawa club that looks ready to challenge for a cup. #5-Oliver Loo @Misty- a first gen forward and Calgary prospect looking to make a mark in Saskatoon. A capped TPE member that should start the season hot. RIP WHEELER TRADED! Now for several seasons I have begged Calgary to trade my buddy and nemesis, Rip Wheeler @ScottyP for a used puck bag, a bus pass, or toilet paper. Something commensurate with his skill level. Now, my player finally made to the VHL and I was poised to be in the same division and heated rivalry with Calgary when he told me he was being traded. Part of me thinks he wanted to be traded to avoid Ninefingers but I know that isn’t true. Rip Wheeler and all-star defenseman Skor McFleury @AlexAlex were shipped to Prague where they join some really good players in John Jameson @Frank, Nikolas Kauppi @Tetricide, and goalie Matt Murdock @Acydburn. Overall, I think it was good for Rip. He was a very loyal teammate in Calgary and loved his time there but hopefully the new scenery in Europe will light a fire under him. Best of luck Rip S94 Draft Just looking at the pool of prospects in the VHLM I noticed that the S94 draft is very balanced and full of huge earners. I was surprised that in the top 20 of TPE currently there is only one goalie, Soju @Frank. There are some really talented defensive players in the top 10 as well like Jillian Woods @jacobcarson877, Felicia Hardy @JCarson, Lazlo Homes @Gustav , and Bollos de Trueno @Thunder so curious if the first overall pick will be a defensive player next year. Defensive players Yaboi Oven @Doomsday was #1 in S90 draft, Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser was #1 in S91, and Mark Calaway @Beketov was #1 in S88 showing its pretty wise to take a high earning defensive player first. At forward we have Maverick Goncalves @leandrofg who definitely knows how to make a player that scores, The Phantom of the VHL @Hogan, Pombo @samx, Maple Dogwood @dogwoodmaple, and Wally Lose @youloser1337. All could be a force at the first overall pick but only time will tell.

Hey everyone. Happy St Paddy's day! Weather a bit better in Seattle today and stuck in hockey rink watching my 6 year old daughter's hockey practice. Hope everyone has a great weekend

A lot has happened these last few weeks as we await the end of this long offseason. I had planned to watch the VHLM draft but didn’t see that it was streamed. I reached out to my buddy @Thunder early in the day to see when it was, and he told me it was already started. Looking at the draft there were several returning names of studs who create amazing players that went early. Looking to see where Thunder’s player, Bollos de Trueno (translated “Thunder Buns”) went I saw he dropped to 19th overall to the Saskatoon Wild. Trueno is a proven earner so that is a great pick for Saskatoon later in the draft. Added to a great with Trueno, Saskatoon snagged Lazlo Homes @Gustav at 3rd overall, Oliver Loo @Misty at 6th, Micah Cederbaum @MicahC, Carson Tripp @Cartripp14 at 25th overall, and Jacob Longstreet @Dynamicmlb_42 at 29th. Overall a good day for Saskatoon that has drafted a very solid defensive core that should be maxed TPE soon and a force this year in the M.

Review: BAD ASS ARTICLE! First, I love the use of pictures in media spots to help break up the narrative, especially in a long read like this one. Looks professional and really helps capture the reader. Second, you can really tell that you put effort into researching each prospect and putting the relevant and interesting information into the article that really personifies each player and what they bring to the franchise. You had trade info, stats, and strengths of the players and it truly was one of the best media spots I've seen in a long time. Excited to see the Wolves grow into a championship team! Grade 10/10

Let’s GO Rip!! lol. @Thunder ole @ScottyPwas talking shit all day today at work.

You're right ! Drink bourbon! its healthier for you.. Best of luck in Oslo!

Great article. Lets go USA

Thank you!!!

That is epic.

Review: Great article and love that you included a picture. Love your welcoming and included some stuff about your time in VHLM. Love the history you put in about Halifax which shows you either know a lot of stuff or did some research prior to writing the article. I liked how you weaved the historical facts into the story . The article is amazing but what truly impresses me is your level of commitment to the Victory Hockey League after just one season, and it shows in your writing. You have built an impressive player and are now that you are a GM speaks so well to the future of the league. 10/10.

Oh hell yeah!! Bad ass pal.

Great bio! Best of luck!

Crashing y'alls PC 1. I would say get over the intimidation that you feel early in the league. Ask questions and earn TPE early to get the hang of it. 2. Well, Id say Henry Eagles. He's a stud and would be a great addition to the studs already on the CGY Roster 3. Trade Rip Wheeler @ScottyPfor a used puck bag. haha. Nah, I think CGY loss was flukey. You had the better club for sure. I think a maybe some depth pieces might help but your stars are already beasts. 4. I do. I think the draft is one of the most fun times in the VHL. Like to see who is who, especially the first gens 5. I'd have to say Arizona is just a mess. Despite re-tooling from their inception they can never seem to be better than shitty. Ive been to games in AZ to watch them and I just down think they have a future in Arizona. The MapleLeafs disappoint me too. Despite having the most expensive top 4 in the league they never seem to put it together in playoffs. 6. Attending two Memorial Cups

I logged into the draft tonight and really enjoyed the coverage. There were some good interviews, draft insight, and some interesting conversations about players available. It was clear that the moderators had done their homework, and it was fun to watch. I was happy that several first gens were drafted early. My club, the Vancouver Wolves held the number 4 pick in the draft so I was anxious to see who they were interested in drafting. @Frank ended up drafting speedy right winger Annie Oakes @Noodle Enjoyer. Annie spent her last season in Saskatoon and had a great offensive season with 31 goals 33 assists 64points. Oakes is deadly on the power play, can help on the PK, and doesn’t hurt the club defensively. This was a great pick up for a quickly re-building Wolves club that is young and hungry. So WELCOME to the pack Annie, we look forward to a great future with you. 155

Maybe someday I'll apply.

Another week closer to Season 93 and there are some happenings going on. Pro-Am is in full swing, draft is upon us, some teams making some moves, and a look in on Thunder and Rip. TRADES I honestly having been paying much attention this week but did see some notable trades worth talking about. Now, I will preface this with I am not a GM and have no idea about cap space and/or reasons for trades. I am simply a casual observer. Helskinki-Moscow On March 3 we saw potential rookie of the year candidate Grimgor Ironhide and a 2nd round pick go to Moscow for Adi Dassler and a 3rd. Both players are phenomenal, and I feel that Dassler will flourish well with Dixon and Lazaro. For Moscow they receive a big bruising checker and proven scorer in Ironhide. He will slot nicely into a deadly and young lineup. Moscow looks to be deadly for years to come. What I question in this trade is the draft picks? Dassler and Ironhide both are high TPE earners, and both are going to be all-star level players for their respective clubs but why the differences in picks? Moscow gets a higher TPE player and a higher pick? That is some Las Vegas Knight level negotiation or is there something I just don’t know about trades or VHL GMin (probably the case). Like I said, not a GM and have no idea how this shit works, Just curious. Moscow-Vancouver In another Moscow trade they sent star forward Left Alone @okochastar to the Wolves for a 2nd round pick. This is a great trade for Vancouver to acquire a 94-point scorer to give some much needed mentorship to a young forward core. Moscow gets a good pick in a deep draft to add to their pool of deadly prospects. In a separate trade, Vancouver added Sunglasses Joyo @JetsGoalie101 and hard-hitting Larry Abass Jr @RileyLRiley. With the draft and free agency starting up It will be exciting to see where people land. Bollos de Trueno With my buddy @Thunder coming back after a short break it has me excited. He opted for another defenseman so it will be interesting to see which one turns out to be better. Although, Jake Thunder will be some big shoes to fill. But with that being said, Thunder is a high earner and currently sits at 137 TPE going into the dispersal draft in a few days. Teams would be smart not to sleep on this pick. I look forward to when he gets to VHL so the rivalry with Ninefingers can begin. Now to check in on my other buddy, Rip Wheeler @ScottyP. He had a pretty good season with 29-41=70 points. Calgary has some beasts with Oreo McFleury and Randy Bobandy up front and Skor McFleury and Phil Strasmore in back so I am hoping Rip earning to help Calgary continue their winning ways. I especially am excited now since my player is in the VHL and in same division. A Calgary vs Vancouver rivalry will be even more delicious if I can smack him around for a season or two.

Logan Ninefingers #32 Vancouver Wolves S93 Rookie Experience Logan Ninefinger’s path to the VHL has set a stage that he hopes to continue. A free agent signing by Miami in his re-create season he helped the club make a Cup final where they lost in 7 games. Then, after going 5th overall in the VHLM draft to the Philadelphia Reapers he hit the ground running. Scoring 64 goals, he helped the Reapers to a Founders Cup final where they lost in heartbreaking fashion. Two season, two finals, both losses. Next, after being drafted 1st overall to Vancouver and 6th overall to VHLE Oslo Storm young Logan found himself on a re-building club. This was a great experience as he had to battle against better talent and still held his own against Europe’s best. At the trade deadline he was dealt to the Bratislava Watchmen which was full of hungry talent. Here is where Logan learned to take a different role than scorer and became a 200-foot player, focusing on defense more and more. The club was rewarded with a trip to the Cup final against the hated and deadly Cologne Express. The Watchmen swept them eventually giving Ninefingers his first taste of a Cup, but not the last. Ninefingers learned one thing after reaching the finals for three straight years, he loves winning and will do whatever it takes for his club to win. Logan cares little of personal stats and would love to see multiple Cup wins during his career in the VHL. Now that he has left for Vancouver he finds himself on a storied Vancouver club where winning is expected. The S93 Wolves will have a string of hungry rookies like VHLE phenom Riley Martin, Guntis Gavrilrovs, DB IV, and Vlad Von Carstein. In addition, GM @Frank has been working the phones trying to put some veteran talent such as Left Alone, Larry Abass Jr, and Sunglasses Joyo around to mentor the rookies to winning sooner rather than later. Add these to the existing roster of greats like Liv Slater, Ben Dover, and goalie Dalkr Vidarsson the future is looking very bright in Vancouver. Logan knows that the competition level for next season will increase but he has the work ethic and ability to compete. Logan has said he will do whatever the team wants for them to be successful and challenge for that elusive Continental Cup for years to come.

Congrats !!!! Best of Luck
