Doomsday

Looks like we'll have to close it out at home, boys.

Back to Philly we go with the series on the line!

Perfect time to show up!!

1. Congratulations on cracking the Halifax 21st roster. What are your thoughts on the city of Halifax? - I think what I like best is that Halifax will give you as much or as little as you desire. You can find places that are buzzing with life, and at the same time, if you need solitude, it's also there. Perfect amount of balance. 2. Have you tried a Donair yet ? They are delicious! - One of the first things I was told to do after getting here was to go try one, and wow. I'm pretty carnivorous, so I was sold on it from the get-go, but it's even better than it was described to me. I don't think I'd have ever gotten one if I never came here, but man am I glad I did! 3. In your last game Halifax lost to the juggernaut that is Saskatoon 7-1. They may just be the greatest Vhlm team of all time. What was it like facing a team of that magnitude? - I'll be honest: at the time, that absolutely sucked. But looking back on it, it was a valuable experience. That kind of chemistry, cohesion and flat-out skill is what we can all expect to see when we get called to the VHL. But while we're here, we also want to hoist the Founder's Cup, so that game showed us that while we might be good, we've still got some work to do if we want to win any hardware. 4. I know you're only 4 games into your VHLM career but what do expect to accomplish next season with the full 72 games? - I want to be a major contributor to a championship team. As a power forward, I'd love to be able to put together a season where I can score 30 or more goals and 300 or more hits. A season like that would, in my opinion, really put the VHL on notice and get the attention of more scouts. 5. When its your time to be drafted is there a VHL team that you dream of playing for? - My father played for three VHL teams: New York, Davos and Calgary. He's best known for his time in Davos, but to be able to play for any of those three would be pretty special. I will, however, happily play for any VHL team that believes in me and is willing to give me the chance to play for them. 6. Any superstitious pre game rituals that you follow? - I've found that the best practice is just to hang out with my teammates, enjoy the time with them and not overthink the game. I try to let my instincts dictate my play, so spending that time with my teammates helps to build chemistry by getting to know their tendencies.

One more time! Thanks Blue Crew!

1. How did you do this season? - Considering I got a late start, not too bad I think. Seven points in 20 games, but much more respectable when you factor in adjusting to the speed of the VHLM when I was starting out. I'm proud I was able to come out and hit like I had been in juniors, it felt great to be able to contribute without the puck. 2. How do you think you will do this post season? - I'm primed to thrive in the playoffs, as I've been putting a ton of extra work in after practice. I'm feeling the best I've ever felt in my entire hockey career and frankly, I feel I'm ready to explode if I'm given the chance. 3. Which teammate do you think is the MVP of your team? - I feel this answer might surprise a lot of people, but it has to be Jaxx Hextall to me. He's been playing a ton of games lately and frankly, he's doing fantastic. With his practice hours, this isn't something you would expect at all. Hexy is going above and beyond for us and I feel that it needs to be recognized. 4. What do you think is the your best game this season? - I had one multi-point game this season, a goal and an assist and I landed a bunch of hits too. I felt that was my most complete game so far. 5. What would you consider a win for your personal stats this post season? - I didn't get as many points as I wanted, but I was able to get over 40 hits in that limited time. I was also able to record a +6 rating, which vindicates the hard work I put in to play a responsible two-way game. 6. What do you think is the most important thing for you to work on this postseason? - I'll be honest: I need to become a better skater. I'm just not up to par yet to fully take advantage of my other skills, and that needs to change if I'm going to really show the VHL scouts what I can bring to the big leagues.

Homecoming For Landry as Playoffs Begin HALIFAX - After joining the Halifax 21st just prior to the trade deadline of the 69th (nice) season of the Victory Hockey League, Thomas Landry II experienced his fair share of difficulties. He went from being locked out of the team's locker room prior to his first game to going several games without taking his first shot to taking even more games before registering his first point. However, after playing in the 21st's final 20 games, the young winger was able to make a name for himself, and now finds himself in position to do something his father never did: play a VHL game in his home state of Pennsylvania as the Halifax 21st take on the Philadelphia Reapers in the first round of the VHLM Playoffs. "It's exciting, I can't hide that from anyone," said Landry during an interview conducted over the telephone with the MSFL Times. "My father never got the chance to play a VHL game back in PA, so this is a really special opportunity for me. Even though I'm not wearing the home team's colors, being able to play at home is still something my family and I will always cherish." The closest that the elder Landry got to play to home in the VHL was in New York. Originally drafted in Season 33 by the Americans, he made his debut there in Season 34, and played against New York as a member of the Davos HC Dynamo and the Calgary Wranglers. The Reapers, of course, did not exist during his career, meaning that, at the time, he had played as close to home as the VHL allowed him to. With seven points (three goals, four assists) and a +6 rating, Landry II has filled in ably in a reserve role. But as the playoffs loom, his practice time has amplified. He looks to be in the best shape of his brief career, and seems ready to help the 21st move past Philadelphia. Time will tell whether or not Landry the Second will be able to replicate the successes of his father. Jethro Novacek is a writer for the MSFL Times, which is now receiving mail from the AARP daily.

Quick link to verify that both the media spot and VHL.com articles used the Unsung Heroes theme. Claimed for 12/22/19 and 12/29/19

Unsung Heroes: Davey Jones The Davos HC Dynamo are currently in the midst of another rough season, but as history has shown, teams rise from the ashes as the phoenix did to soar above the competition. Way back in Season 35, nearly half of the Victory Hockey League's lifespan ago, the HC Dynamo were beginning to emerge from the league's basement, going 39-29-4 to return to the playoffs. The initial pieces to Davos' team, Matt Bentley, Lennox Moher and Thomas Landry, however, found themselves quickly brushed aside by the rival Cologne Express. On that team, however, was the unsung hero of Davos' cup-winning teams in the later 30's: rookie center Davey Jones. "The key to Davos' success during that run was how well our core worked together," said Thomas Landry, right wing and captain of the Davos HC Dynamo during Jones' career. "Davey Jones was a guy that expected to win every night, and it was an infectious attitude that carried over to his play on the ice." A Season 34 draftee, Jones was a part of the Season 33 Bratislava Watchmen, who won the Founders' Cup along with future Davos teammate Thomas Landry. After being drafted fourth overall by the Cologne Express, Jones opted to stay in the VHLM for another season, where after a mid-season trade he won another Founder's Cup with the Yukon Rush. Jones proved more than ready for the VHL as a rookie in Season 35, scoring 44 goals and 42 assists for 86 points and a +26 rating, and a landslide winner of the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy as the league's top rookie. After the aforementioned victory over the Davos HC Dynamo, Davey Jones was shockingly traded to them after a growing rift with General Manager Joey Kendrick reached a breaking point. "We acquired Davey Jones when he was coming off a top rookie campaign with a big playoff rival in Cologne," said Victor Alfredsson, the General Manager for Davos' championship run. "It looked like a hefty price to pay, but he transformed the team, gave us a second line, and that depth carried us to the Continental Cup that very season, with a very young core. It was a delight to then see him grow into one of the league's premier forwards as we continued to compete." With the added firepower of Jones, the HC Dynamo exploded in Season 36, finishing 54-16-2 and securing a first round bye. His 111 points (55 goals, 56 assists) led the team, and his dominance continued into the postseason, scoring 20 points (6 goals, 14 assists) as the Davos HC Dynamo won the Continental Cup on the shoulders of the Daisuke Kanou Trophy winner's Cup-winning goal in Game Seven against the Toronto Legion. Season 70 brought another successful season for Davos, but not as much for Jones. The addition of Naomi Young in the off-season led to Jones being asked to move from his natural position of center to left wing led to a big decrease in his offensive production. However, that decrease was still a 70 point season (35 goals, 35 assists, +22), helping Davos to a league-best 53-15-4 record, good for 110 points and the Victory Cup, the only time this group would win it. They would not, however, successfully defend their championship, as the Toronto Legion got their revenge by sweeping the HC Dynamo in the Continental Cup Finals. With the retirement of Sergey Brovalenko, Davey Jones became the first line center for Davos, moving back to his natural position. "When Davey (Jones) shifted back over to center, we knew it was on," said Thomas Landry, right wing and the captain on those legendary teams. "I could see it clear as day that he was much more comfortable and dynamic back at his natural position. Davey was so focused on pushing himself further and returning to what he felt was what he was really capable of. He was good as a winger, but Davey Jones was a truly great centerman." An energized Davos squad once again took the VHL by storm, with Landry, defenseman Matt Bentley and Jones all reaching 100 points. With 45 goals and 55 assists, his re-emergence created a dominant top line, centering Landry and Felix Zamora. The HC Dynamo went 49-19-5, good for 101 points. Davos made quick work of the Riga Reign to return to the Continental Cup for a rubber match against the Toronto Legion, defeating them in six games to once again lift the Continental Cup as champions of the VHL. Additionally, Jones' sportsmanship was recognized with the winning of the Mikka Virkkunen Trophy. The winds of change were beginning to blow in Season 39, as the window for the Davos HC Dynamo was quickly coming to an end. Although key players were reaching the ends of their careers, they still had enough gas in the tank for one last run at the cup. With their fearsome top line still intact, Davos again found themselves on top of the European Conference with a 49-17-6 record, with Jones tallying 89 points (44 goals, 45 assists, +39), good for second on the team. The real surprise of the season was that halfway through, Davey Jones stunned the VHL by announcing his retirement. The HC Dynamo reached their fourth straight Continental Cup Finals, but Jones' career came to an end as the New York Americans defeated Davos in five games. During the off-season, the HC Dynamo began to trade off their key players to accelerate the impending rebuild. But while the other players went on to take one last run for the Continental Cup, Davey Jones instead was searching for a new career. "There was always a niggling doubt that any given season would be his last; Jones always had the idea of early retirement in his head," said Alfredsson. "But he gave us four seasons and we made the finals in every single one of those 4 seasons. With how he carried the Davos flag around the league and became one of the most memorable characters of that dynasty, I really couldn't ask for more." In Davey Jones' five VHL seasons, he reached the playoffs in each one. Additionally, he went to the Continental Cup four times, lifting it above his head as a champion twice. Over the course of his 360 games played, he scored 223 goals, recorded 233 assists and was +160. While he never reached the Hall of Fame, his contributions towards the success during of those great Davos teams cannot be understated. This article will hopefully ensure that the importance of Davey Jones as the unsung hero of the Davos HC Dynamo will be remembered as the seasons continue to pass us by.

Can we talk about why in, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," the dude talks about telling scary ghost stories? I mean, what does that have to do with anything? I have never heard of anyone using Christmastime to tell ghost stories except Charles Dickens and spooky bitches.

I tried so hard to make an enforcer, the sim had other plans.
