why are you complaining when you knew what you were signing up for? Like I don't get it you knew you would have no assets and you're like it's so hard guys. We know it's hard and you knew it was hard before you started or at least you should have. Like these other teams legit had a 25 season jump on you did you expect to come in and it be easy? congrats to romanes you were a great gm whatever whatever whatever everybody else already said and no one likes victor

it doesn't work like that, you are in this draft no matter what

thanks for the problem solving

I know that you can write media spots about anything loosely league related. I used to tell nooblets to do this all the time when I was a VHLM GM, like tell them to go write about the team going to the zoo or do an episode of cribs with their player’s house or something. But for whatever reason in my head that’s not good enough. I want my media spots to be actually relevant to something, things that people will read and find interest in. But I can never think of anything so I usually end up writing something about myself and nobody wants to read that. Like who cares about what you think about your own player, that’s not exciting. People want to read something about their own players, or their teams, or something about the league, not “2nd line scrub scored a goal, good job to me.” I don’t read other people’s media spots when they are about themselves because it’s such a one dimensional view, like I want to see what you think about other things not what you think about your own player. Yet every week I struggle with the same thing and eventually just end up talking about myself. It’s lame and it sucks and I hate it but I’m not a creative person and I don’t know what else to write about so I’ll probably do it again this week.

meh I think the last shutout was just American looking deflated because it was for Bronze and Finland came to play like they do every year

I would say he was mediocre and he left because he got benched for a game in the playoffs for acting like an ass and that really bruised his ego

Radulov

So am I the only one who thinks Bilyletidnov should take the brunt of this loss? I mean he took one of the best offensive teams and tried to make them play defensively and then was like "oh I don't know why we didn't score". He took a player who couldn't even make it in the NHL and had to run back to the KHL and put him on the top line sending Semin to the bottom six for no apparent reason because he was playing well with Malkin and Ovie up until that point. He started Semyon Varlamov over the reigning Vezina trophy winner in their most important game after Bobrovsky had a freaking shutout. And when it came to the powerplay they didn't hit ovie for an ovie shot from the ovie spot at all except for once. Instead they focused on getting shots to Kovalchuck and Radulov. When it comes to Ovechkin it's no secret he isn't the greatest in hockey IQ but instead of taking a single lesson from his past they gave Ovie the puck in the neutral zone to make plays instead of hitting him while he is already in the offensive zone. This is like 87% on the coach imo, yeah they had a great offense but when you deploy them in ways that aren't inducive of scoring no wonder they don't score. Just like a good system can make mediocre players good, a bad system can make great players mediocre and that's exactly what happened. He didn't use his resources and refused to adapt his game plan when he saw the results weren't what they wanted. Russia would be better off getting a foreign coach next olympics, you know one who might actually understand that if something isn't working how you want it to you can't keep doing it the same way.

sterling is coming for your title

fresco is such a visionary

yes

maybe he was talking vhl bears which is even weirder

for our wut

Sterling put on his sassy pants today, I like it you show 'em who's boss sterling

how can she be so beautiful and so athletic at the same time

just borderline?

adorable is better imo for the phil hat trick

her makeup is way too much in some of those makes her face look less pretty which is kind of the opposite of what makeup is supposed to do

Simon Tremblay Finishes Off the Season Strong Thomas Erdbrink – New York Times New York, NY - New York Americans left wing Simon Tremblay went on a tear to finish off his second season in the VHL. This season was particularly difficult for the left winger, after being traded from the Calgary Wranglers in the off season following his rookie season Tremblay found himself in a world of controversy. Tremblay was arrested for public intoxication and reprimanded by his team, forfeiting part of his salary for the year. According to team sources Tremblay underwent some therapy and proved to the league that he isn’t yet the bust people are projecting him to be. A week after his arrest Tremblay had 18 goals and 19 assists for 37 points in 38 games. By the end of the season Tremblay had more than doubled his production taking him into the top 10 of several categories. In 72 games played this year Tremblay managed to put up 45 goals, 11 more than his rookie season, which was good enough for seventh in the league. Not only did he score the most goals out of any left wing, but he managed to score goals that mattered. Of his 45 goals 6 were game tying goals and 5 were game winning goals. Tremblay finished the season with 45 goals and 37 assists for 82 points in 72 games with a +8. Tremblay was easily one of the best players for the Americans this year and his play is part of what kept them in the running for a playoff spot all season long. Tremblay’s Contract Up, Will he Re-sign? Sterling – vhlm.com Correspondent Bratislava, Slovakia - At the end of this season New York Americans left wing Simon Tremblay’s contract will expire. This is the last year of his rookie contract, so he will be headed to unrestricted free agency should the Americans not re-sign him. According to sources close to the team Americans’ general manager Chris Miller has been working on a deal with Tremblay’s agent, but contract talks have fizzled and it begs the question where could Tremblay go? Controversy following Tremblay causing him to take an absence from practice has been well documented and many would say he is lucky to get a contract anywhere in the league. It is far more complex than off-ice issues however. Tremblay has excelled amidst controversy and proven why he was selected in the first round of the S34 VHL Entry Draft. Tremblay was selected seventh overall by the Cologne Express and was almost immediately traded in a deal that saw less than market value come Cologne’s way. Though Cologne’s general manager Joey Kendrick insisted that the trade had nothing to do with off ice issues and was purely business, many speculated that Tremblay may have had issues within the locker room. After being traded to Calgary Tremblay spent S34 in the VHLM tearing up the league on the Minot Gladiators. In S35 Tremblay got his shot at the pros and did not disappoint scoring 34 goals and 38 assists for 72 points in 72 games. He was the third highest scoring rookie in the league. However, during the S35 off season Tremblay was traded yet again to the New York Americans again bringing up questions of locker room issues and lack of effort. With the Americans Tremblay truly flourished where he scored 45 goals this season. Nobody can deny Tremblay is one of the league’s best goal scorers right now, but with being a little behind in practice hours and this rumor of locker room issues makes many wonder who would sign Tremblay. There are a few possible destinations besides New York that may make a bid on Tremblay, but Helsinki is probably the frontrunner. Helsinki has done well to stay atop the standings for several seasons now, but arguably the best player in the league in Ethan Osbourne will be retiring soon as will a few of Helsinki’s depth players leaving a possible spot for Tremblay on the second line. The Riga Reign could also sign Tremblay, while they have some very high end prospects they have very little depth and Tremblay could help anchor their second line as they continue their rebuild. Another less likely destination could be the Vasteras Iron Eagles. While the Iron Eagles don’t have an opening on any line Tremblay is easily better than a couple of their other players and could replace them. All in all the best fit for Tremblay would be to stay put in New York. Will this happen? We shall see, for now Tremblay remains contract-less as the playoffs continue on.

she was killing when she was 13 :-/

I thought it was pretty ballsy of Slava Voynov to call Quick out like that. His words after the game were something like "I play with him, I know how he plays" accusing him of purposely knocking the net of it's moorings. I don't know I just thought that was a pretty big statement to make.

Charlotte Kalla was a boss in the women's relay for Sweden, she came back from like 25 seconds back in the last leg to get gold

If they didn't pick Subban though it would have been a huge issue. He is the reigning norris trophy winner and if you pass on him for another player and then lose miserably all of Canada, especially Quebec, would be running a lynch mob after you. If Canada places like they did in Torino they may still send a mob after Yzerman, but if they didn't pick Subban everyone would have been like oh this is why you lost. Kunitz doesn't have that kind of value, he was a fringe pick to begin with and not playing well further solidifies the fact that he isn't good enough for this. I mean he still has time to turn it around but he has looked overwhelmed so far.

this would be an interesting experiment lol
