It's been an honor playing under you Shin Digs, and the VHL community is goated. May return some day, but it's just not my thing as of right now. I do like seeing the statlines increase which is why I've kept earning, etc. The impact my guy is having on the squad. It was fun and LVA is in good hands of Tidde, and Shindigs.

The Las Vegas Ace's drafted Antoine Barksdale at 125 TPE, and so far he's exceeded expectations. In contention for top five centers in the VHLM putting on a scoring, assist, and points display that few players could do on the ice. He's now sitting at 204 total TPE with four banked, and capped for the league. He has gone on record to say he think he was a steal at that spot, and that he will make the team's above him pay. He proved that today against Houston Bull's putting up four goals, and six points showing them they were wrong for picking high earners over him. Demonstrating his wrath as he checks team after team off his little notebook for scorning his legacy. In the post game presser he said Bull was on the Menu tonight, and this would be a regular occurrence. They lost a few times to them in the beginning of the season, but haven't lost since. The Vegas squadron rallying around their center as he tries to raise, and compete for the #1 spot in the League Center's position.

Man's doing lord's work with this gah darn detective work, and y'all out here slandering him oh g' danger, man. real talk, seems like a serious problem, but also a necessary one. there isn't enough active users likely to field full rosters.

Goat GM Shindigs

That's a little picky tbh. Let the bots run our accounts, and player careers.

That's what I'm talking about. Letting the hater's burdens build up, and overwhelm you. Crush your spirit. YES!!!! (also I'm just mad we aren't on any of the same teams. LR always popping with Jacob in it. )

Wolanin will never be as good as his EFL counter part. Just end his career here. Sincerely, the haters.

130 words before this, and the title. Game 180 Review The Hounds haven't been real competitive this season, and the game starts the way you'd expect. Ottawa scoring almost immediately on the lackluster defense. Some poor defensive plays lead to them having the puck again, and Ottawa reigns in another basket with quickness. There is no stopping the Lynx as John Richards, Bel Monito, and Cash score. The second period is no different than the first. The Ottawa score two quick goals bringing the score up to 5-0. The hounds can't do anything to stop them, and they even get a third score in real quick. 6-0. The hounds are lifeless out there! This is middle of the second, and will be the last action for the game. Final score 8-0. The third period was just the puck being passed between teams, and penalties as players air their frustration out on the field.

1) We currently sit in the 4th spot after this week of games, and we look to continue our slow but steady increase in production. How do you think this week will go in terms of game results? Fantastic. We got them dawgs in us. 2) Juan Ceson (@dylanjj37) was seen at the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II today. Do you think this affects his play style at all? No. 3) Why do you think our team has fallen to Miami, the current frontrunner, pretty early in the season? Cause we didn't intiatlly have that dawg in us, but we got back up after we found out, we did in fact have that dawg in us after all. 4) We are beginning to see Viktor Hasek (@StackThePads) play well as the backup so far. Does he continue this trend? Yes. He has proven he is indeed the GOAT. 5) Nice IKEA Employee Bot has mentioned to the LVA front office that he wants maximum pay and a 5% increase to Juan Ceson's contract. Should the front office go forward with this? No, because they should forward that money to me for my TPE addiction. TPE, not even once. 6) What was something you did over the weekend? I work weekends, except this weekend where I am just chilling out, doing nothing like usual. Working on curing my resting arsehole face, cause I don't look calm. I look mean, and I don't want to come off that way, but I don't express emotions well. In terms of my player, he was prolly doing practice, and stuff.

"Well, here we are at the Daily At, with Las Vegas Ace's newest star, Antoine Barksdale. Last week we talked about adjusting to the life of the city, and how he has been handling the changes in his life. Now.. Las Vegas Aces are in a different stand than they were entirely. About to take first in their conference, and on the cusp of a twelve game winning streak. A few late season pickups, and star performances all around from first liners- We're here to consume, and digest it at all with Antoine Barksdale!" "Thank you. Thank you for having me. Yeah, super proud of all our guys. Viktor, our newest goalie already had a shut out. Wann Ker.. Bromley.. everyone's really popping off. Myself, been playing a tad well too, so got that going. Still not touching the top four centers in the league, but hope to overtake the first two soon. Not sure if I'll be able to dog Houston's top dog for the number one spot. They played the hounds simply one too many times, and I ain't even seen em once this season.. Just saying.. Whose really playing the harder competition here?" "That's true. Houston's squad seems less dynamic all around, and LVA is more well rounded. Do you guys think you'll be able to continue your stride of winning into the second half of the season?" "Really hope we can. I'd like to see that streak go at least twenty. Be good for the confidence of the boys, plus.. Prime number I believe. Can't end on an odd, that's just messed up." "Fans around the city are talking.. You guys are in good chance to take the third cup that has been rumored to be yours. Do you guys think you'll have any real competition in the playoffs?" "It honestly depends on Houston, San Diego.. New Mexico round out their rosters. Right now I'd say theirs no one that can touch us John, I'mma be real with you. We're just looking too dominant with our star power. We aren't chart toppers in stats, but we're just.. built differently." "I know you're busy, so I'll let you get going. Your manager appears to be signaling to wrap it up. Good luck with the rest of your season, and to the other team's competing in the VHLM." 353 words.

For the newest addition to the Las Vegas Squad. Not my best work, but it's deceeent.

1) We have started a bit shaky, but picked up some key wins to begin the season. Now that we're competing with the bigger teams, how do you think we fare down the road as our team develops? That's fall on me, and Joel imo. Joel is essential, and me too. I'm not playing as good as the other centers in the league. 2) What do you think is the best moment in the Locker Room? Maybe along the lines of funniest, stupidest comments. The LR vibes are great, sometimes I don't get what's going on, but it's cool. 3) Juan Ceson( @dylanjj37) has reportedly used team funds to purchase all of the IKEAs within a 5 mile radius of GM @Shindigs. How do you feel about this? Unlucky tbh. Maybe I wanted an IKEA? 4) How has management been so far? Is there something Shindigs and I can change? Shindigs is the goat. I'mma be sad when if man's is retiring. 5) We are beginning to see G Joel Castle become a brick wall for us. Do you think he keeps it up?' Yes. G of the year a thing? 6) Based on current stats, who do you think will eventually end up with the scoring title for the Aces? Barksdale, gotta vote myself here sorry team.

Antoine sat down with the Weekly Review at VHL.com to speak extensively, and inclusively about his time with his new teammates on the Las Vegas Aces, and experiences in the city while he has been venturing, and journeying through the lavish city life that the town has to offer. The young Italian is a new addition to Las Vegas, and is making waves being fourth in scoring across all centers in the league. He's not far off on assists, and goals- but his big stat is points having twenty eight notched up already in his short twenty game career. "Antoine.. how have you been adjusting since we last spoke?" "I've been pretty well. Just got the wife, and kids settled in. The rabid fans weren't something I was prepared for so much." "Rabid you say? What do you mean?" "People hassling me at the car, or when I'm out just trying to get a cup of coffee. I've already had to hire an assistant. I know we're in danger of three peating boys, but gotta ease up on me a bit. This is all new for someone like me. An undrafted prospect months ago, to showing out in the JST, and winning, I may add- to being drafted 20th. Feels surreal. I feel honestly I may have been slighted being picked that low, but- there's nothing I can do to change that. I just have to make the teams that passed on me regret it." "We've seen comments across Twitter that you're praying on New Mexico's downfall due to them passing on you?" "I honestly thought we could have had something special. A few general managers reached out to me, and you know.. when several players with lower strengths get picked before you.. It puts a chip on your shoulder ya know? I want to prove them all wrong for drafting me lower than first round." "Moving on from that.. how has your experience with your teammates been? You're playing along a superstar goalie in Joel Castle, and another potential great forward Wann Kerr.. plus your team has other promising prospects that names escape me at the moment.. How has all that been?" "Oh it's been great. Me, and Wann Kerr are getting some real synergy, but some of the other newer forwards are taking a bit of time to adjust. I'm hoping to keep exceeding at the rate I am. I'm not gonna lie. I want to be a big numbers guy. Seeing guys above me only motivates me to keep going, and prove all the haters wrong." "Well.. thank you for your time. This has been the Weekly Review with a short update on Antoine's career.. Courtesy of VHL.Com."

claim for 9/18-9/25. (accidentally did a graphic, and media spot last week, and couldn't claim this.)

Vegas W

You should of moved the layer so the player stayed behind the banner, covering the blank spots that fill empty space that way. Pretty good regardless.

1. Can achieving nothing make a person happy? Depends on the person. I haven't achieved much, and feel okay about myself. I'm not depressed. Definitely felt like I could have done more, but I chased my dream for a long time, and failed. I got close, and got a taste of what the limelight feels like (esports), and it wasn't that great. I wanted it, but I never applied, and practiced the way I should have. I had all the time in the world I believe I could have made it if I tried. 2. Does the Law of Attraction exist? I believe so, but who knows. 3. Have gadgets and apps taken away emotions? I have few true emotions, so probably yes. My phone addiction is more important. 4. Does observation alter an event? I don't know what that means. 5. If everyone spoke their mind would this world be a better place? No. People would be more rude. Yes fakeness is gross, but I'd rather someone be fake, and nice then brutal, and mean. I got bullied relentlessly as a kid through HS, so maybe that's my bias on this take. 6. Where does the universe end? Who cares we won't know while I'm alive unless Alien's give us more tech to study.

The news that Shindigs will be retiring had an unhealthy amount of sad, cope from me. Dude is very active, and I will miss him (even though I'll be departing the aces to go into the VHLE most likely.)

Antoine Barksdale approached the podium, and sat for a media press conference. "Thank you for taking your time to be here, Antoine." "No worries. It's not all about the ice. Have to get the fans engaged huh, and show Las Vegas some love?" "There has been rumors about your struggles early in the year. You lead a few category's for your team, and are top ten in a few different margins. With your early success in the Junior Showcase with the Brigade- and comparing the numbers here.. It actually looks like you're playing better, but you seem distracted. What's with that?" "You know.. I'm adjusting to a new city. First I was adjusting to Canada.. having to share bunks with my teammates in the JST was tough. I just don't think we're being looked out for players enough. It's like we move here.. and then shortly after the season starts. It's little time to adjust, and it's bad for my mental health honestly. I wish more players would talk about this sort of thing, and let you know that just because we're being a paid sizeable amount to do what we love.. it is not all love, and roses out here." "Thank you for being so vulnerable. There are some easy games you've guys lost this year, only holding a 4-3 record as the former champions of the cup. As a rookie coming into that enviroment with expectations by the fanbase so high, what are you looking to achieve this season, and does it make you nervous to be in that atmosphere?" "No it doesn't phase me. I have Tiger blood in me. To assume I am weak, or frail is wrong. On the court I am trying to kill you, and mentally dismantle you. That's what the Ace's are aiming to do, and we've had some breakdowns early, sure- but that doesn't change what we are shooting for. You're talking to one of the hardest working players in the league. Whatever I can do to achieve greatness, I am doing it.. hell, if they allowed steroids I'd take them to get that extra edge. I'm up early, five am every day getting my routine in order to be at the rink at seven, and staying at the rink till four- I'm dedicated to this season, and this franchise. Hopefully we can bring the historic threepeat to them." "What exactly has been the most difficult part about adjusting to the Las Vegas enviroment?" "I come from a place where there is not much wealth. It is not flaunted in your face like it is in America. There are fine women everywhere, and sports cars.. casinos.. everything. Las Vegas has it all. It is easy as a young man to get lost in drinking, and gambling, and become distracted. I'm sticking to my girlfriend from back in my homeland, Italy-, and we are working on our personal goals with all this craziness transpiring around us. That is what is difficult for me to handle." "Last question, and I'll let you get out of here Antoine. What do you like most about your Las Vegas teammates?" "We have a strong roster of forwards, and a strong goalie in Joe Castle. My hopes are strong to win the season, and hold that cup for our team, and for our fans. Thank you, and much love!" "

Gotta stir the pot it gets people goin'

Mexico deserves the start after passing on generational talent Antonio Barksdale @ pick number twenty. Best of luck in your player's career, but respectfully.. praying on Mexico City's downfall.

I didn't know the difference. I was trying to find the box score for Philly vs LVS, but I can't pull it upside outside of some weird page where I can only see the top stat leaders?
