1) I didn't think we'd drop down to a wildcard but anything can happen I'm sure. Who knows, maybe next season we'll be back near the top. 2) Yeah I think my guy did ok. Set some career highs so I'm happy anytime there is improvement. 3) Right now I'm working on DC then maybe my shots, not sure yet 4) I believe in our goalie! 5) I did yes, but while we may not have finished where we thought we would we could always make a deep playoff run 6) I don't worry too much about it, no matter who comes up will be a challenge and we need to beat the best to win it all anyway

1) I mean it's still fun even though we've dropped some 2) None stand out to me honestly 3) I don't know. I don't get real active in there so I guess I'm guilty of making it feel empty 4) Doing well! 5) Just ride it out, hope we make some noise in the playoffs 6) When I checked before i didn't recognize the names so I figured it was just emo music or something

1) It's not THAT bad, just a small slow down is all 2) Might just need some more time 3) Top 3 for sure, would be nice to finish first though! 4) I don't need to see a big win streak but consistency would be nice. 5) Yeah I was checking out his stats a couple days ago, he's doing pretty good! 6) I'd say so. I wish I had realized I could use PBE tasks towards the vhl.com replacements earlier. Could have used that a lot over the last few seasons.

1) I think we'll finish top three for sure. Not sure where in that three we will finish though. 2) I originally thought Malmo but I think Prague might actually be the bigger threat 3) Lines have been better for sure 4) No, sorry 5) I think he can, he's doing great! 6) A way for me to use my points tasks in the PBE for something in the VHL. Not sure if you can or how to make it happen.

1) it sure seems like it, we're doing well! 2) I don't think it matters too much honestly. Anything can happen in the playoffs as long as you get there. 3) The scoring seems quite balanced, logjam of scorers in our team stats! 4) Not really. I think we're doing well and probably wouldn't mess with much yet. 5) My player is doing not bad, scoring goals which is what I always wanted from him. 6) My daughter is just over one year old so we hid some plastic eggs and gave her an Easter basket to pull things out of like stuffed animals and a couple small pieces of chocolate

1) We're off to a pretty good start. Bit of a logjam at the top of the division though but that will clear out after a few more weeks 2) My player is doing ok so far. Getting a decent chunk of goals, could get a few more assists to make me happy. 3) I am a pessimist so I am not sure how much better we can do but I sure hope so. 4) I do think we can, team looks to be pretty strong 5) Obuz Schneider Canet du Bocage has impressed me so far, he's doing quite well! 6) I have no idea. I barely check in with other teams lol

1) I think we'll do fine. Sorry I can't expand in that more but I think we'll do fine all season 2) Got my scoring, skating, and def up to 85 3) I thought we did better last season than I thought we were going to do. It would be nice to see us go further this season 4) Not really. It would be nice to finish high in the standings but the playoffs are always a different animal 5) I hope so 6) I'd like to see us lower goals against this season

1) Pretty big piece we moved out but Ironhide is no slouch 2) I don't understand this at all 3) I think we will, I am surprised we did as well as we did last season 4) He will do quite well 5) We gave up a lot of goals last season, hopefully we improve on that 6) I have no idea

1) No, not at all. 2) Not really, I check the scores and our locker room and that's it 3) No, kind of randomly slotting points at this point 4) Web development/programming is about it. Can make some fun stuff from time to time. 5) I had no idea where I'd end up, I never even really followed the league other than the level I was in. 6) I don't know, I guess it's an inside joke or something. I just scroll on by.

1) Really impressed with how we did. I didn't think we'd maintain that level of play but we did, it's nice to see. 2) Not sure honestly but he should! 3) I am not a really superstitious person. 4) I think we're in for a tough battle in the first round but anything can happen once the playoffs roll around. Like Malmo getting swept! 5) I don't recognize any of his Spotify band names so I have no idea lol 6) I guess sort of yes. Had improvement again this year over last so that is always good. But I need to get my ass in gear and start doing some writing. I just hate it.

1) Nope, not a football fan. 2) The Chiefs and all the Swifties out there! 3) Blue 4) No, never really got into it or tried watching some 5) The winning streak was great, we're doing better than I thought we'd be doing. 6) Yep

1) What approach? Adding good players? I mean it is working out it seems. 2) Yeah it's pretty cool, I thought we'd finish more in the middle of the pack but doing well is great! 3) Probably, Spartan seems pretty good on pulling those deals off. 4) I'm just going to enjoy the ride. I thought we'd finish lower so I'll go in with no expectations. 5) I don't know. I've been trying to find something to do for months, am frequently bored. 6) I do get a lot of time to be lazy but no set day.

1) Not worried about it. We're still a young and developing team, I certainly didn't expect us to hang around first place all season. 2) Nothing wrong with shaking the lines up some if we want. 3) I still think we'll finish middle of the pack in the EU side of things. 4) Trying to up DF some, then getting a few other skills to 85. 5) Yeah goalie is probably the toughest position, the last line of defense! 6) Not sure. I try to get in there but hardly anyone ever answers me aside from Spartan so I usually don't say much lol

1) I thought we'd be middle of the pack so this is a pretty nice surprise. Would be nice to see us hang around up top for a bit! 2) Aside from people (myself included) making sure they get all of their TPE I'm not sure. 3) No, they are fine as is 4) I said no but here we go! 5) Winning is definitely more fun, winning in the playoffs is even more fun so lets get there 6) Not really, I just let you guys handle that stuff.

1) I'm surprised yes but pleasantly. 2) Maybe 4th or 5th, somewhere in the middle of the pack. 3) Yes it definitely makes it more fun 4) Just go for it this season, see where things take us 5) Malmo and Helsinki, I have no idea why 6) It's still way too early to tell but it certainly looks like the EU will be stronger

1) I never have any expectations for my Christmas gifts. I generally buy what I want through the year so I usually get useful things like socks and stuff like that. 2) The team should look pretty good coming up. Was a little disappointed I didn't get to play with Left Alone this season but meh it happens. 3) Nope, it's kind of cool! 4) I love the web interface for the league. And I also love that there is a welfare option so when I am busy and hate to write I can use that. It doesn't maximize my player but this is life I suppose. 5) That the biggest point task requires so many damn words 6) I usually visit some family, this year went to visit my dad and his wife and had a big dinner

1) Has to be Left Alone. Had a fantastic season. 2) I don't remember much on our teams and for some reason I can't seem to pull up the schedule. 3) I'd love a trip to Costa Rica but a baby means I'm stuck at home and will have to settle for a treadmill instead 4) No, I admittedly don't follow the league as much as I should. I'm a bad VHLer 5) Yes, are there some new ones coming out or something? My mom used to watch all the old ones and that got me on to these kinds of movies. 6) We used to but since I moved out to a different province we just have small dinners now since the whole family is so far away.

1) Was born in Toronto so my team is the Leafs. I guess they are doing ok but they have some glaring holes still so I'll inevitably be let down come the playoffs. 2) Not sure, I don't follow the M unfortunately 3) My player did ok I guess this season. I would have liked to see him get some time with our top player but it was not to be this season. As for earning, I am doing bare minimum and that sucks I know but I absolutely hate writing. 4) Not really 5) His award will be a good draft pick, that is award enough! 6) Probably Nine Inch Nails. I'm old.

1) Not American, but celebrated back in October 2) I bought a few courses and am thinking of buying a treadmill 3) Feels bad to lose but I'm hoping we'll start to pick things up in a couple seasons 4) Not really 5) Eh, sort of. I felt a little disappointment at not getting first line duty and I feel my stats are a bit further behind than they were last season. We'll see how things end up. 6) Have no idea and Formula 1 doesn't interest me at all

1) I don't know if I have one really. I guess Slap Shot from back in the day? Or maybe Dodgeball if that counts 2) I bought a couple of courses online. One for .NET coding and the other for Flutter. 3) I do not, I just don't like the writing part of these types of leagues so I generally miss the theme weeks. Questions: 1) Will the Edmonton Oilers make the playoffs in the NHL this season? 2) It's getting cold in this part of the world, are you ready for the snow? Do you like the snow? 3) Would a sim league work without writing tasks? How would one work without them?

1) I think I saw it in the PBE. If I didn't see it there it would have been the SHL. 2) I find it fun most of the time but I don't like the 500 word media spots. I'm not a very creative person and don't want to put crap up. 3) We'll probably struggle again but hopefully we'll start to do better 4) Not really. Pretty average I'd say/ My nine month old changes week to week which is probably most exciting for me. 5) I have a love/hate relationship with World of Warcraft and have been playing it's Wrath Classic version recently. 6) I know very little about the ratios so for me, they seem fine

The rebuilding continues in Moscow as the Menace get off to a rough start to the season. We knew it was going to be a tough few seasons once the team started a rebuild so this should come as no surprise to those on the team but that doesn't make it any easier to absorb. The Menace though have some fantastic young talent so the hope is that in two to three seasons they will be back to competing. In this early season so far, the Menace are sitting in last place in the entire VHL with a record of 3-15-3 good for 9 points. The goal differential is what shocks me, as it's currently a -31 already. It's going to be a rough season. Rookie Axle Gunner is off to a great start with seven goals, twelve assists and nineteen points good for third in the rookie scoring race. It will be an interesting story as the season progresses as the Menace look for back to back rookie of the year awards following the win by Jeff Lewis last season. 181 words

1) So far, not terrible. I'd like to see him score more and get that plus minus down some...it's tad high. 2) I'm not totally sure right now honestly. 3) Not a holiday weekend for me now or coming up. I am just trying to grind away until my winter holidays! 4) It's feels fine. Losing sucks but it's part of rebuilding! 5) Next 2-3 hopefully. 6) I'm not sure. Maybe something to do with trivia since it's my least favourite part of the point tasks.
