Stockholm Vikings host party for fans In an effort to connect with their fans, the Stockholm Vikings recently welcomed fans to a day of gaming. Taking a break from hockey, there were a variety of activities for all to enjoy with their favorite players. The featured event for the night was a Looney Tunes B-Ball tournament between the Vikings. The night was considered a huge success, despite being crashed by three players from another VHL team and having two Vikings leave early. The Vikings were scattered throughout the venue for most of the day, meeting as many fans as they could. Team captain Lloyd Light, who coordinated the event, found himself playing board games for the majority of the time. Trying to get involved as much as possible, he had several games going on at once. The outspoken Jody 3 Moons could be found by the video game setups drinking Mountain Dew, eating Doritos, and "[MLG] 360 no-scoping noobs" in Call of Duty. Fans of all ages were welcomed, and the Vikings even had a face-painting booth set up for the kids to enjoy. It was run, of course, by Lord Karnage, who demonstrated his incredible artistic abilities, much to the surprise of the fans. Jody 3 Moons made sure to let his "m8" know that he was "rekt." Periodically, the players had to take breaks from all of that to play in the Looney Tunes B-Ball tournament. The game, played on the Super Nintendo, features eight characters from the Looney Tunes franchise. Eight of the Vikings participated in the tournament, playing as pairs. Light, playing as Marvin the Martian, was paired with goaltender Blake Campbell as Sylvester. They played in the first match against sophomores Severin von Karma and Francis York Morgan, playing as Elmer Fudd and Wile E. Coyote, respectively. Karnage and 3 Moons were another pair; taking a break from being offensive superstars, they chose to go with two of the better defensive players in the Tasmanian Devil (Karnage) and Daffy Duck (3 Moons). The final twosome competing was Tom Slaughter and Prince Gigga-Bijou. Fittingly, Slaughter was playing as arguably the best character in the game, Yosemite Sam. Gigga-Bijou joined him as Bugs Bunny. The fans had a blast watching the tournament and cheering for their favorites. In the first game, Slaughter and Gigga-Bijou won in convincing fashion. Karnage and 3 Moons played too hard on defense, giving up several easy shots and were unable to score much for themselves, with Slaughter's Yosemite Sam proving to be the best defender of the game. Light and Campbell were lucky in a comeback effort against Karma and York, as they scored 18 points on just two three-pointers late in the third quarter thanks to the Vegas ability. Light and Campbell were no match for Slaughter and Gigga-Bijou, however. In the losers bracket, 3 Moons and Karnage had an easier time despite a 58-point effort from von Karma's Elmer Fudd. They followed up that victory with another, eliminating Light and Campbell from the tournament by a single point. Needing to win two straight games to win the tournament, there was no exciting finish to be had as Slaughter and Gigga-Bijou finished the tournament undefeated. Tom Slaughter, as the well-rounded Yosemite Sam, was named the most outstanding player. Not all of the Vikings had a wonderful time at the party, however. Joseph Roy III and rookie Sam Teibert did little to interact with the fans. The two of them had chosen not to play in the B-Ball tournament and spent several hours standing in various corners. They left early, but no one seemed to mind. Around the time that they left, the fans were treated to a surprise, as three Seattle players showed up. The Bears were in Stockholm for a game that weekend, and the trio of James Faraday, Brady Stropko, and King Czar III thought it would be fun to crash the Vikings event. The Vikings welcomed them to stay and have a good time, though it wasn't long before they got themselves kicked out. Faraday caused a scene when he questioned Karnage's integrity during a game of Go Fish. Stropko and Czar, meanwhile, were creeping out the guests by doing nothing but standing in the corners, just the same as Roy and Teibert. For the fans, it was a great night to hang out with the players and see them as just regular guys. The players felt great about giving some time to the fans who support them. Despite some odd behavior, absolutely nothing went wrong. Everyone had a good time and left with a smile and some souvenirs.

It'll be a battle for them to get even that many.

17:31 of 2nd period - Jakob Ackerman is hit by Jody 3 Moons and loses puck. 17:35 of 2nd period - Lloyd Light and Jakob Ackerman fight to a draw. Ackerman too scared to fight 3 Moons so he goes for me instead.

dumpstered

Congratulations, you're helping prove my point.

You keep using his teammates as your argument for why he has better stats, but where is your evidence that better teammates will translate to better stats? As an argument to suggest that having lousy teammates can make a bad player look good, I first point you to the rookie season of one Travis Boychuk.

That's a false statement. It's all luck.

It's all about the stats though. Using who your teammates were as an argument proves nothing, because it's been shown that players will put up better numbers with a bad team and better numbers with a good team. You clearly benefited from Calgary's shit roster to somehow put up a 100-point rookie season. Having better teammates around you probably would've brought your points down quite a bit.

3 Moons is a 1st line C on like 7/10 teams.

fuk the devil tho

RIP in pizza Jim Fardy.

We had something going on so we had to leave in the middle of the second period. Sorry we couldn't play the whole game.

Well... damn

I know you feel really hyped because Phil talked you up as the best second liner in the league, but he for some reason was talking about 3 Moons as a first line player. All his career, 3 Moons has been on the second line because he plays center, where Slaughter plays on the first line. You've played your career with Thomassen and Wolf, and you'd probably argue that you were never on the same line as them, but the same is true for 3 Moons and Slaughter.

or all the voters can man or woman up and post their ballots in here for public criticism

3 moons is def better than boychuk but Poole > both of them anyway smh y'all are too focused on forwards

Davos because they are historically the best team and therefore tough to play against. That's the approach I took for "worst to play at," more of a "toughest place to play" even though that wasn't the question. Stockholm because bias.

My voting, for public criticism 1. Most VHL Marketable Player: Thomas O'Malley 2. Worst VHL Trash-talker: Niklaus Mikaelson 3. Biggest VHL Goalie Sieve (aka plug): Jax Barnstormer 4. Most Underrated VHL Player: Jake Wylde 5. Most Overrated VHL Player: Gifford Shock 6. Best VHL Trash-talker: Jody 3 Moons 7. Best VHL Writer: diamond_ace 8. Best VHL Graphic Artist: boubabi 9. Best Team Spirit Player: Thomas O'Malley 10. Best VHL Future (Player): Lord Karnage 11. Best VHL Future (Team): Stockholm Vikings 12. Worst VHL Fanbase: Cologne Express 13. Worst Arena to Play At: Davos 14. Best Arena to Play At: Stockholm 15. Worst Road Trip Roommate: Lord Karnage 16. Best VHL Goon: Tyler Cote 17. Toughest Player to Play Against: Bruno Wolf 18. Biggest Current VHL Bust: Mikkel Boomgaarden 19. Best Current VHL First Generation Player: Jerrick Poole 20. Best City Without a VHL Team: St. Paul, Minnesota

I voted you as hardest to play against tbh. I'd honestly say you are more of an underrated player if anything.
