Hey I made it , better than my college team did this year fr. I enjoy this idea and it'll be fun for me to dive into looking at a bunch of different players' careers!

This is a great idea! I would happily pitch in to help on making em as well

1. We sure can and are turning it around! Everyone else is going to underestimate us and I believe, especially with the waivers that we SHOULD get later in the season, that we'll be just fine. 2. I imagine there's a lot- I don't think locker rooms as a whole are active enough and I think the league could benefit with some more handholding for new players, teaching them how things work. More forum content in general is something I see as necessary. 3. I aim to end my career as the greatest player in D.C. Dragons history, which I shockingly think is possible if they keep me my whole career. I imagine that would have me in the HoF as well if I was to reach that level. 4. Idk how obscure this is, but I love this fact: there is a point on earth called Point Nemo which is a 'pole of inacessibility'. It's so far in the Pacific that it is generally closer to the people aboard the ISS than to any other people on Earth. 5. Whalers please, awesome branding, awesome goal song, awesome fans. 6. Favorite movie is the Sound of Music due to the unmatched nostalgia for it I have. I just watched it a lot as a kid and the music has made its mark on me.

dc confirmed for playoffs if cole says it it's true

so excited for another dragons season, we gonna surprise everyone

40 dollars to a poor man is more valuable than 50 to a rich man... there's many ways to look at valuable. Regarding description, I think there was plenty of that back-and-forth around the VHLM awards regarding wording as well and I do agree it's objectively unclear, but I 100% interpret it as most valuable to the team and I think it's a fundamental understanding around MVP awards in the world at large. I'd imagine the BOG saw it the same way. This is a very good point to bring up, and I don't think anyone can definitively say anything about it. I assume the whole being the league's points leader thing is what made him stick out to them when deciding. I still feel like Callahan beats out the other nominees for it but it's interesting to ponder. I'm also not gonna claim to be incredibly knowledgeable compared to y'all about this lmao and I will honestly say I don't know how to quantify that situation.

I mean it's exactly this right? Losing Lovstrom hurts Malmo less than losing Callahan. People see the Campbell as going to the person most valuable to their team's success. I totally think it's a flawed award but I think that presuming that the Campbell would ever be an award for 'face value' when that's what the Slobo is, is silly. Again there literally isn't more that Lovstrom could have realistically done, but that's just how the award goes for me.

Having other amazing players on your team UNEQUIVOCALLY DIMINISHES EACH ONE'S VALUE TO THEIR TEAM (granted, by variable amounts). That's indisputable. MVP doesn't hold much weight at all to me compared to the Slobo for that reason, but then again I have no idea how impactful each are on HOF chances because I've never been good enough to pay attention to HOF stuff Other than that idk why MVP would be better than MOP. Yeah I truly believe the MVP is an award for players on mid teams and I think that's ok. It's in the fundamental nature of MVP awards for me and I don't think it should carry anywhere near the prestige of an MOP. Listen I really don't wanna downplay Lovstrom's contributions he was so so so good. I'm not saying I think Callahan did contribute to his team making the playoffs whereas Lovstrom didn't have to. Toronto slipping down 13 points is a hell of a lot more likely than *checks notes* the 68 points Malmo would have needed to drop. I think it's genuinely just unfortunate for you because of flaws inherent in the nature of the award, I don't think it's a knock on you. I just really do think losing Callahan would have had more consequences for Toronto than losing you would have had for Malmo we're never gonna have harmony and sing kumbaya together when it comes to it either.

lovstrom was absolutely the best player in the league and that was reflected in the slobo vote; mvp does not always go to best player why is this a lovstrom pity party? i think everyone is adequately appreciating his season

welcome back!

first individual award as a player, lets goooooo

welcome!

Hounds about to feel the wrath of The Milkman, he's scoring 5 on y'all first game
