I can't speak to the VHL but I'm telling you. Passing has a very important function. A situational function, but an important one nonetheless. At higher TPE I can see how that function is less meaningful and I can go into detail on that but end of the day at a macro level passing is important. For the individual no but on the whole of a team yes. I'll put it this way. A line with 3 good passers is fucking brain dead stupid. But having 1 passer will be pretty effective. Not for them as a player putting up points because a playmaker needs others to produce to have that seen on the stat sheet. I want to make a playmaker next and see what I can do with it. I believe I can make an incredibly effective player.

I run the Brigade, only got about 2 roster spots left on offense, if you were willing to play defense just for the tournament we could definitely get you slightly more playing time. Reply with #forwardmarch to enlist and do let me know if you are willing to play defense for this short time.

I actually think passing is quite important, just on a personal basis it won't make your player look good. That's the main issue. It serves a function but that function benefits the team.

I think we are seeing a good bit of this. Look at this VHLM Finals, I'd wager the two teams boast 2 if the better defensive forward cores overall. I do wish some things were slightly different. Like for example, GR and BC... Virtually zero reason to ever choose GR unless you are at 70 BC already. Like things like this should be a tough choice. Also like... Maybe FG should give like ST. Right now, if you want ST as a DFD you have to invest in PC... Obviously the best choice... And then... SS or FO... If I'm a DFD I don't want those. Maybe Grit or BC or FG adding ST would balance this more and lead to a slight uptick in diversity. Obviously the people who built the system carefully put this all together and know better than I the balance but that's the main one I've seen.

IMO coaching matters... lines matter... opposing lines also matter. something else to keep in mind is like. a guy with 90 PA / 90 SC / 90 PH will likely score less than a guy with 60 PA / 80 SC / 70 PH as an example. The ratio between these ratings to my understanding determine your tendencies in the sim. When you player ouches the puck he will do something. If he shoots it every time, you'll probably score a lot more than a guy just taking less shots. Even if that guy has a better SC score than you. Hope this explanation helps a bit... and anyone more experienced than myself please feel free to dispute this information if i am incorrect.

Halifax lost key players heading into the postseason, they had 3 Dmen in the Reg and Added 2 just before the playoffs. Then they had to cut 2 and a forward.

Oh you'll only spend like 20 games on the Brigade. Then you will be drafted to a VHLM team.

week ending 10/30

So you are saying you are ready to Enlist with the Brigade?

My roster still has a couple forward positions available on the back unit, we also could move you to Defense for the tournament if you wanted a slight bit more PT. Reply with #marchforward to join one of the best LRs in the JST!

I'd be down to GM or AGM another tourney. I'm I like jobs. Gib jobs.

@KenoI'm Pifferfish. Currently GM of the Brigade in the JST. We boast one of the most active LRs in the tourney as far as I know, (I can see half of them so can't speak for 3 of the teams sadly.) But we would love to add you and see about getting you started on the right track in VHL. Quite this and say #forwardmarch to Enlist.

Great article, love this shit... More please.

The Brigade of the JST would be happy to add you to our ranks. Quote this saying #forwardmarch and we can get you enlisted.

There are no S87 goalies... at least none that played enough Games to properly grade.

personally as a new member. i expected to have fun playing the game (not making friends) but you have to consider.... people here have lives outside the VHL, so when they spend VHL time what will they do with it? they can interact with their current teams and make their present locker room a better mini community... or they can clique up with their 4 friends outside their team and spend their bandwith on those same 4 people. i choose to be a person who puts himself into the current LR because i know i wont hold onto freindships. i like to think ive made good acquaintances like nurx and lemorse and shindigs and shawn and more. but i dont really expect myself to forever be their buddy. I wont always have to time for chit chat and will have to solely focus on my team or a select few. IDK maybe im rambling a bit but it seems you are putting more on people than is really fair.

i mean... If you are upset over the bans... ie the banning of your friend, then i think its totally fair to point out that you are possibly biased. If this is over Achilles... he broke rules, caught a ban. If its not about him, then the others broke rules, and caught a ban... not a single ban ive seen since ive been here was undeserved. i think there has been 5 total max. in a community of hundreds on the internet, its pretty lax... and these are rarely permanent bans... most communities just blast into the void forever in hopes of never seeing you again, at least here you get a chance to come back and correct the bannable behavior.... overall L comment on the situation

i hear the guy who wrote the first and third articles is very gross and ugly... 1 star.
