I am on the verge of setting the Malmo franchise record for points (I currently have 597, one behind Condor Adrienne) and I will likely get there on assists as well (22 behind Adrienne's 442), which has me curious to see if there is anyone else out there close to breaking any team records (just looking at goals, assists, and points) After some research, using just the Statistics page in the portal (which I'm not sure is completely accurate for older players), here are my findings. @Baby Boomer Bobby Bob (TOR) - Assists The next record to fall after Stone takes Malmo's point record will almost certainly be the Toronto assist record. Since retirement following Season 52, Max Molholt has held all of the goals (406), assists (462) and points (868) records for the Legion. One of those will fall, while the other two are likely safe for a long, long time. Bobby Bob needs just 9 more assists to pass Molholt. @Advantage Viktor Jensen (MAL) - Goals, Assists, Points Yes, Stone will definitely pass Adrienne in assists and points before Viktor Jensen, but his records will likely not last long. This is assuming Jensen plays his final season in Malmo. At the moment, Jensen is 40 assists and 12 points behind Stone. While he will be hit hard by depreciation, he should still be good enough to reach those marks next season. I added goals as a possibility here as well, but I'd say it's unlikely. He would need 53 goals in his last 107 games (which equates to an average of 35.7 goals over 72 games). During the peak of his career from Season 92 through Season 95, he did average 33.75 goals per season. @jRuutu Jarmo Ruutu (MOS) - Points Not guaranteed by any means, Jarmo Ruutu may end up with the most points in Moscow history if he plays out the rest of his career with the Menace (though he is not currently signed beyond this season). The current record holder is Hard Markinson, who had 696 points from Season 78 to Season 85. With two and a half seasons to play, Ruutu has 467 points, needing 230 to set a new record. That means he needs to play at slightly above a 93-points-per-season pace. He has only reached that mark once in his career, that being his 125 points a season ago. He came close the two prior seasons, and this year he is currently on pace for 106 points. This record falling is less of a sure thing than the aforementioned team records, but there is no doubt a chance.

1. While we do have on of the best penalty kill percentages in the league, I could definitely stand to take fewer penalties. I have the ninth most penalty minutes in the league. 2. Nothing particularly amazing. I suppose the most creative was the year I dressed up as a "shrunken man." I just wore some of my dad's clothes, which were of course much to large for the child that I was. 3. The last one I binged was Girl Meets World, actually. I grew up on Boy Meets World, and it's still a show that I re-watch every few years. I'd never watched Girl Meets World, but I felt like I needed to at some point. It's not good enough that I'm going to include it in my BMW re-watches, but it had its moments. 4. Button. There's a story behind it. (No one has ever called me that. There's not actually a story. I literally just made it up.) 5. I'll hold guys accountable if what they're doing is affecting us on the ice, for sure. Otherwise I prefer to let others do what they want, but there can be some things that I may disapprove of that warrant a conversation. But that's a private conversation I'd be having with them. 6. B-MAL D10 for sure. They already dress up pretending to be a hockey player.

Coming into the season, the Nighthawks boasted two of the most skilled players in Phillip Rave and Jacob Stone. Undoubtedly the best players on the Malmo roster, the pair are arguably the best one-two punch of any team in the league. So far, they have been playing like it. Both coming off of the best seasons of their respective careers, Rave and Stone are among the league's best this season. After scoring a career high 45 goals last season, Rave currently leads the league with 20 goals in 23 games. He is well on pace to improve upon his total from last season, and his assists are up as well. Continuing his current pace would have him finish with 128 points. Meanwhile, Stone is playing in his ninth and final season, and he is looking as good as ever. While he is going to go down as a Malmo legend, his career may not be good enough for Hall of Fame consideration without a phenomenal final season. His stats thus far (36 points, 57 hits, 63 shots blocked) should have him as an early favorite for all of the defender awards, which would go a long way for his case.

1. His best season yet. One that will put him into consideration for the Hall of Fame. 2. Whichever team we play first in the playoffs. Even if it's a 4v5 matchup against Warsaw because in that case we could always be shutout by Olober Syko. 3. I think Vancouver looks like the best team in North America. 4. Yeah, Jacob Stone and his wife have two tiger salamanders named Murphy and Lexa. 5. Isaac mclflopper has a good number of shots, but if he could score some more goals that would be a big help to our second line which right now has relied on what is likely an unsustainable shot percentage from Martin Kemp. 6. I don't eat enough fast food to really have an answer for this, so I'll take a Chipotle tortilla, Chipotle chicken, Chipotle toppings and Arby's curly fries.

1. Friday night was board games with some friends. Saturday and Sunday I spent questioning whether my desire to find Jesus comes from me wanting a purpose in life or if it's just to be closer to this religious friend of mine who seems to have caught feelings for me. It's not that I didn't have thoughts about trying to give Christianity another chance, after having grown up Catholic, but I never made an effort until she started talking to me about my beliefs. 2. Take my wife out for a nice dinner. And play hockey. Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean we don't have any games. 3. There is no meaning. That is what I believe right now. Ask me again in a year, and maybe I'll be singing a different tune. 1. What is surprising you the most thus far in the season? 2. In the past two seasons, we have seen two Cup droughts of 20+ seasons comes to an end (Moscow, 23 seasons; Riga, 22 seasons). Which 20+ season Cup drought do you think will be the next to end? (New York, 42 seasons; Helsinki, 29 seasons; Los Angeles, 23 seasons) 3. Are you excited? If so, what are you excited for?

Playing in my final season, I planned to continue earning max TPE until the very end. This is despite having 1200 TPA, meaning anything that I earn will have very little effect on my player. The goal was always to see how high I could climb the All Time TPE leaderboard. I've been thinking more and more lately that I don't particularly care about that. I was never going to make it to number one, and number two was going to be very difficult. With where my head is at right now, I'm thinking 5th is where I will end up, at least for a bit before someone probably passes me. I still have a couple career tasks (Biography, Career Reflection) that could get me 13 TPE, but I completely missed Super Coach because apparently I follow that forum like I thought I did. But I'm just finding I don't care as much right now. I'm still going to keep going, and I expect to surpass 2100 TPE, but the motivation has definitely decreased from even just a couple weeks ago. I am definitely looking forward to taking some time away from the VHL. Or, at least taking some time away from earning TPE. This career with Jacob Stone is by far the most consistent effort I have put into a player, and it can be draining, trying to make sure I don't miss a single TPE. Even still, I have missed several weekly Fantasy Zones and a handful of capped TPE here and there. I do still plan to recreate, but I'll be making a goalie next, so I will definitely be able to go a bit more low effort

Bushito went from GM of Stockholm (S57) to GM of Calgary (S58). This doesn't really count, however, because that was the last season of Stockholm, and there was an entire swap of the two teams' assets as part of the removal of Stockholm. Advantage went from GM of Stockholm (S55) to GM of Cologne (S56), however he did not start S56 as GM of Cologne. I don't feel like looking anymore.

Apparently I have six. Toledo, New York (x2), Yukon (x2) and apparently Ottawa. I literally do not have any recollection of being GM of Ottawa, but it is on the list.

Glad I didn't take my goalie yet in VHFL, so I can pick up RIG G based on this start.

For the second time in his career, Malmo's Jacob Stone has been named the co-winner of the Jake Wylde Trophy, awarded each season to the played deemed the best defensive defender. In Season 92, Stone shared the award with then-defender Liv Slater of the Vancouver Wolves. Earlier this week, Stone again won the award, this time alongside Kronchy Kardashian. When Stone and Slater won the award back in Season 92, that tie was the only thing keeping Slater from a clean sweep of the top defender awards, as she claimed sole possession of both the Sterling Labatte and the Alexander Valiq Trophies. Slater was also named to the All-VHL First Team, while Stone only managed to claim a spot on the Second Team. For both of them, Season 92 was a breakout season. Stone now shares the trophy with Kardashian, who had previously won the Alexander Valiq Trophy back in Season 91. This is Kardashian's first award since then, and it is likewise Stone's first since he previously split the award. While the Wylde Trophy is shared, Stone was recognized as the better performing of the two overall as he made the All-VHL First Team for the second time in his career, while Kardashian was left off of the All-VHL teams altogether. Although he didn't win any other awards, Stone did receive votes for both the Labatte and Valiq Trophies as well.

1. Finally winning a playoff series. It has to happen, right? 2. Making bead art. 3. Nah, I'll be handing out candy I guess. Not sure what the trick-or-treat traffic will be like at my place. I do have a bee outfit for my cat. Maybe I'll dress up to match that. 1. If one of the VHL were going to replace an existing team with a VHLE team, and they called on you and you alone to make the decision, which team goes and which team is replacing them? 2. Do you care about being selected early in a draft? I'm sure for some, it may be a point of pride. 3. What is your favorite Halloween costume that you have worn?
