Erm what the scallop

1. I plan on focusing on defense and skating mainly with my new player. They're pretty important. 2. On the rink of course! Have to grind it out to get to the VHL. 3. My player is from Chicago, but currently is in Las Vegas. They do own a home in Chicago! 4. New York Islanders, they made it last year, but I doubt they can make it yet again. 5. I feel like around 65-70 points is pretty valid. Even 60 points. 7. My favorite superhero is Captain America!

I went to Las Vegas due to the LR and also playing time. I also didn't want to join a team that was already stacked, because what's the point. I want to see my player help contribute to the team and be the underdog. I could've joined someone like SDM and just rode out the fourth line into a cup, but it's pretty boring if you ask me.

1. My favorite season of the year is the fall. It's not too hot and it's nice to be outside. 2. Pokemon is amazing, I was actually playing Pokemon Soulsilver a couple minutes ago. I would relate to Slowpoke because I just relax all day. 3. I would say either the New York Americans or Warsaw Predators, because it's pretty hard to be worse than they already are. --- 1. Are you excited for the upcoming NHL season? Do you have any expectations for the team you support? 2. Who is the most underrated player in the VHL and why? 3. What is your favorite food and why?

Tanking and My New Player The Topic of Tanking A recent topic has came up in the VHL with some teams being called out (not going to list the specific teams) for playing their AI backup a little too much in an attempt to get a higher draft pick. Obviously, this is against the rules, as you're not allowed to play an AI goalie over a human more than the allotted backup games each season. Personally, I don't really understand the whole point of doing so. I guess I can get the point where you want to secure the highest draft pick possible, so against the teams you are trying to out-tank you play your backup against them to secure a loss, meaning you have a higher draft pick. However at the same time, why? You're taking away games from a human player that just wants to see their player play and enjoy the simulation experience. Is moving up one or two spots in the draft really worth basically benching a human player for extra games? I don't think so. At the end of the day, it's all about the experience and you have to remember there are humans behind the screen. Every single player has a human tied to them and that's something I have to remind myself. It's not a NHL Franchise Mode where everyone is an AI and it doesn't really matter if you trade them, bench them, strip them of the C, etc. We'll see what happens to these teams as they're most likely going to get punished, my guess would be having slightly worse draft odds of securing a higher pick in the draft than where they are, but we'll see. My New Player - George Richmond This is mainly just filler to get to 500 words for my media spot, but I recently recreated and I'm no longer a first gen! It'll be interesting to see how this player turns out, as I feel like I'm a bit better at building a player as Siyan Yasilievich wasn't bad, but never really was amazing. I hope to win more awards with this player and take home multiple cups, but then again, who isn't aiming for that. When choosing a team, I wanted to choose somewhere where I'd have the chance to play in the top six, while also making the playoffs. The best teams to do so was the Las Vegas Aces and the Miami Marauders, but I decided to go to Las Vegas as I'm pretty active there and it's a super fun locker room. Currently, I've played eight games with three goals, four assists, good for seven points and a plus eleven. That's actually pretty good I'd say, especially since my build is pretty stale since there's not much you can do early on. Ideally, I want to make a scoring forward that has very good defense and can skate, which is pretty cookie cutter if you ask me. I would love to skip to the E and actually spend more than one season there, as last time I went it was pretty fun, even though there are horror stories about the E. I think it's for sure gotten better though and there's some teams there I'd love to play for. At the end of the day, I can't wait to see what happens with this player and where I land!

Maaaaan I just am gettin my 12 games done.. (8 + 4 because old gm broke rule last season) You guys all copy me!

Oh my god

What can George Richmond bring to the Las Vegas Aces? Joining the Aces The newest member of the Las Vegas Aces, George Richmond, can bring many things to the table. The Aces currently sit at 33-16-6, good for fourth in the league with 17 games remaining in their season. They'll be a playoff team for sure and George Richmond will be looking to help aid the Aces in a deep playoff push. Richmond will be bringing a much needed 6'6 center to the table, with an all-around complete game. Known for his shot, Richmond can help aid left winger Stinky in putting up goals on the scoresheet. Richmond won't necessarily be the best player on the ice, however with his hockey vision and great sense for open ice, he'll be a fantastic player that the Aces will love to have. On top of that, he's flexible and can play anywhere on the lineup, playing with anyone, something very few players can do in the league. We'll see what Richmond can bring to the table in his first few games and if he can help the Aces win the cup at the end of the season!

Graphic Review: Starting off, the biggest thing that I honestly like that sticks out to me is not necessarily the render, which is a fantastic render by the way, but the city of Vancouver in the number. I really like the touch honestly and to me, makes everything else stand out. I really like the shading and the text you use as well, as it blends in with the background. On top of that, the extra glow on the letters helps them stand out a bit, which is really nice. I wouldn't really add much more, maybe a border or something to make the render to stand out. Regardless, you did an amazing job and this is easily a 10/10! Overall Score: 10/10

George Richmond Biography George Richmond grew up in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. As a child, Richmond always loved hockey as his father would take him to the local hockey rink to watch the Chicago Steel play and he loved every second of it. After joining the local hockey team, Richmond quickly became a local sensation at a young age. However, despite being a good hockey player and having the locals know about him, he never ended up playing for a very prestigious team. Eventually, he ended up going into high school where he would play for his high school team. They weren’t the best, but it was very clear that he was the best player on the team, where he would put up impressive numbers freshman year, putting up a point-per-game. The season would end with the team failing to qualify for the playoffs, as he would enter sophomore year of high school. One game, when they were playing their rivals, Richmond ended up scoring a highlight reel goal, dangling through three players and firing it top shelf to win the game in overtime. Unknown to Richmond, a scout was there and just so happened to watch him play where after the game, he would get invited to a USHL prospect camp at the age of 16, where players would range from 16-18 years old at the camp. He would then run into Walter Fitzroy Jr, who was an eligible draft pick for the S90 VHL draft, as he would skate with him during the camp. Walter was an unbelievable talent, as he could skate around everyone with ease and look like a living highlight reel on the ice, nobody could keep up with him! After practice, Richmond ended up talking to Fitzroy for a couple of minutes and wished him the best of luck in the draft. A couple days later, he ended up watching the VHL draft where he saw right before his eyes, Walter Fitzroy Jr going second overall to the Toronto Legion. He then knew that he could have what it took to go to the big leagues, wanting to one day, play with or against Walter Fitzroy Jr. A day later, George Richmond got a call from the director of the USHL prospect camp letting him know that while he was impressive at his age, he would not be invited to the next stage of the camp. Richmond was heartbroken and knew that he was just as good as the other players, but unfortunately, he didn’t make the cut. He would then go through sophomore, junior, and senior year where he would dominate high school, setting records for the school and helping to lead them to the state championship, where they would play at the United Center, the stadium where the Chicago Blackhawks would play! He was honored to be able to play in such an arena, so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep the night before. Game day had finally come for the young superstar as he made his way into the arena, getting ready to play his rivals for the last time of his career. At the arena, there were multiple college scouts looking at the young man seeing how he would perform on a big stage. Richmond’s team would end up going down early as his rivals would take a 2-0 lead early, however that’s when he had his chance. On the powerplay, Richmond wound up a one timer where he would have an empty net, a free goal! However, he ended up shanking it to the left of the net where his coach was furious and benched him the rest of the game. Richmond’s team would end up losing 5-4, where his goal could’ve been the difference maker. He then knew that he wouldn’t have many offers for college, so he decided to take on another path, to the VHL. Richmond was an impressive shooter and although having rough finals, it doesn’t take away from the fact that he had an impressive high school career. Looking to the future, Richmond will be waiting to bring his powerful shot to the VHL and attempt to win some hardware. Although the league is tough, many people believe he has what it takes to become the next superstar and be the face of a franchise for many years to come. However, he won’t be able to go straight to the VHL, as he’ll have to start in the minors and make his way up to the big leagues. He has multiple offers from teams in the minors as he’ll bring many options to the table for the team he ends up joining. Not only is Richmond an impressive shooter, he has the hockey vision to be able to always find his teammates, no matter where on the ice. The biggest question many people have is how he’ll adapt to the league, as the VHLM, VHLE, and the VHL are all different. Another question many people have is if he’ll be able to bulk up, which some people believe he won’t. Regardless, Richmond has an important decision to make and he’s ready to dominate the league. 860+ Words

George Richmond Prospect Scouting Report Name: George Richmond Position: Center Height: 6’6” Weight: 220 lbs Hometown: Chicago, Illinois George Richmond was born in Chicago, Illinois and is making his way to the VHL. Richmond before joining the league was known for his height and lengthy frame, which drew interest from other scouts and general managers around the league. Although not fully developed, Richmond has many pros and cons to his game that he’ll be looking to bring to the table come draft day. PROS: Skating: Richmond was always a good skater growing up and with his long legs is able to easily blow by the opposition. A stride comparable to Jack Eichel, Richmond focuses on power from his lengths in long strides instead of quick short strides. This helps him utilize his height and explosive speed to deceive opponents and get around them with ease. Explosive Shot: On top of that, Richmond has an explosive shot, being able to fire one timers around one hundred miles per hour. This comes from his upper body strength and being able to release the puck with speed that very few can pull off in the VHL. Although at the moment it’s not the most accurate, if it hits the net, it can beat even the best goaltenders in the league. Hockey Vision: The last highlight of his game is his hockey vision. Richmond has been praised by multiple scouts and general managers for being able to “find the correct play” on the ice. He’s able to make a quick decision depending on the situation he’s in and find himself in a favorable situation, which the high end players in the game are able to do. CONS: Strength: Although very strong on the puck, Richmond is still growing into his body and needs to gain more muscle. He has a strong shot, but sometimes gets bodied in one-on-one scenarios with a defenseman and it’s a downside for his game. However, he’s started to hit the gym and bulk up, looking to make this a positive for the future. Defensive Zone Coverage: Another negative in Richmond’s game is his defensive zone coverage. A full blown offensive goal scorer that can find the open ice in the offensive zone, however lacks defensive instinct. This is something that’ll most likely plague him in the early days, but is very fixable with a defensive coach in the future. Will always make the “best” play, not necessarily the “correct” play: Richmond has been known to sometimes look off teammates as he believes that he has a better shot than most of the league. This doesn’t mean that he won’t pass to his teammates, however, if he believes he has a better chance to score, he will take the shot instead of passing, even if his teammate is wide open. This is something that is heavily criticized by scouts, however it’s something he’s been working on. 480+ Words

It was a run!

CHICAGO PHOENIX ON TOP BABY

1. 98. I've worn that number my entire life and NO IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF BEDARD. 3. Scoring, but I'll be retiring at the TDL and recreating, so who knows by then! 4. Probably not. My player on Toronto is having a rough season and I doubt I'll win any. 6. My favorite youtuber is probably Eck, TheHockeyGuy, or TacTixHD, they're all good hockey creators. 7. I would be a whale, because then I'm huge and can vibe in the ocean. 8. Erm, what the scallop. It's that stuff in the ocean that looks like oysters and you can eat it.

AGREED

Love Super Coach. Time to make the most wack team.

where did I say that LOL feels like some grammar mistake I'd make

Well I knew 8 ) was an old school emoticon, I was just like can I turn this off LOL. There's some good ones like the one flipping the table: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

My S90 NA Conference Power Rankings If you're looking for super smart analysis and breaking down teams and why they're ranked, this isn't going to be the article for you. This was looking for literally five minutes at teams in NA and just throwing down my thoughts of who'll be where at the end of the standings. Lets get into it! 1) Toronto Legion It seems like Toronto this season is stacked. They've added Sogaard, Lavelle, and Yasilievich to their team who should be able to carry this team to a first place finish. They should be towards the top of the standings and if they don't go to at least the conference finals, it's a pretty bad season in my books. 2) Vancouver Wolves Second I've got Vancouver who were the finalists from NA last season coming in second. Honestly, I could see this team finishing first as they've got Maple, Bouchard, and Payne leading the charge for the team. They also have one of the best blue line this season and fantastic prospects upcoming for them. I could see them going all the way. 3) Seattle Bears The third best team in my eyes is the Seattle Bears. On paper, this team could for sure crack first and there is not much of a difference between the top three. With players like Bobandy, Goncalves, Bogatyrev, and also Wallob, they are stacked and will be one of the best teams in the league. Another favorite from NA as these three teams should be the teams to duke it out during the season. 4) Los Angeles Stars Alright, this is where NA falls off a cliff. The Stars are mid. They're not going to be super bad, but they won't be amazing either. They've got Cooke and Dynamite, then with Murray on D and Vandelay in net. However, they lack more firepower than the top three, but they're for sure better than the bottom four teams in my mind. They should win the wildcard and get eliminated in the actual first round of the playoffs. 5) D.C. Dragons This is where the teams start to get bad. I think D.C. is the best of the worst, because they actually have a couple players that aren't half bad. They've got Jason and Sakamoto who are not franchise players, but superstars in their own right. They just really lack depth. They've got a couple players that can hang with the best, but without depth they'll struggle against the best teams. They'll probably fall to LA in the wildcard round. 6) Calgary Wranglers Alright, now we're entering trash tier. Calgary has Strasmore and a bunch of sub 600 TPE players. Their starting goalie is average. They're going to be bad and try to secure a high pick in the draft. That's about it. 7) Chicago Phoenix Yeah, this team is screwed. They don't even have a superstar really, just Sundin and Johansson. They're going to be the bottom of the barrel and they'll need a miracle to even scrape 5th in the conference. However, that was all apart of their plan, so not all is bad. 8- New York Americans (idk cant put 8 ) because it turns into some cool dude face) Yeah, I don't really know what's going on here. An accidental rebuild? A forced rebuild? Hey, regardless they'll be getting a top pick so that's going to help them in the long term! Best off-season: Toronto Legion Worst off-season: New York Americans Sorry New York for the hate, nothing against you guys. Also why do half the teams in NA have like a shade of red as their main color? I am not against it, just thought it was interesting.
