  1. Bentley comes through in the shootout... which needed another shootout to determine the winner.
  2. There absolutely need to be more than three updates per season. Activity should be rewarded with their progress showing in the file and nothing is more frustrating than seeing your player suck balls in the sim because your updates don't get put in until half the season is already over.
  3. I would also love a copy of this.
  4. Waiver priority, unless it is past the time, is the only thing to lose.
  5. I'd feel better being on a team and playing than being left to rot on waivers.
  6. They should be given to a team where that player is most likely to see the ice. As in, a LW going to a team with 1 LW instead of one with 2.
  7. I definitely think that there could be some sort of system for training and getting new VHLM GMs acquainted with how things work. It can be overwhelming and if I hadn't sought help, I would not have gotten help. Perhaps we could have some guys who have done it before or are longtime VHLM GMs teach the new ones the ropes? The more trained and knowledges the GMs are, the better they will be and the more activity they can inspire.
  8. Lennox Moher got the sim off, hope you enjoyed it!
  9. Perhaps they have specific needs and don't want to go to the bottom of the waiver priority so that when someone they desperately need shows up, they're not screwed?
  10. Why is the sky blue? How tall is the tallest building in the world? Do you miss James Avery? Are you afraid of spiders? Are you aware there's one behind you?
  11. So are we only playing Bratislava this season or what?
  12. Jones gettin fed, lamps gettin lit.
  13. Content: 3/3 - Welcome back! If I'm lucky, I'll have a great prospect to work with in net this season!

  14. Oslo claims G Kimmo Salo
  15. Way cool, but what are those two staring at?
  16. Content: 3/3 - It's only a matter of time before Toronto breaks out with LeBeau in net. He will have his day in the Continental Cup for sure down the road. Grammar: 2/2 - Only one tiiiiny little mistake. hasn't been to lucky = hasn't been too lucky Appearance: 1/1 - Your formatting has always been top notch, excellent work. Overall: 6/6 - Were you expecting a grade this fast?
  17. Content: 3/3 - With the success of the Scandinavian team in the World Cup, you would think that Denmark had more of a presence in the VHL. Definitely surprising to see that's not the case, good luck in your effort to change that! Grammar: 2/2 - Only spotted one mistake, good job! Zach would eventually being inducted = Zach would eventually be inducted Appearance: 1/1 - Absolutely. Overall: 6/6 - Great job.
  18. Content: 3/3 - Interesting perspective on taking a look ahead at the future strengths of World Cup teams. Could we be seeing an end to Scandinavian dominance? Grammar: 2/2 - Just two small errors, which is pretty good for the length of this one. VHL Entry raft = VHL Entry Draft The skill level of Canadian players has never been questions = The skill level of Canadian players has never been questioned Appearance: 1/1 - Oh yes. Overall: 6/6 - Good job sir.
  19. Content: 3/3 - Pretty amusing story about how the Meute spend their nights out. This certainly explains how we beat you guys last night though. Grammar: 2/2 - Pretty good for the most part. Only really one thing and for all I know it's not even an error. Holy shit you guys are trash. = Holy shit you guys are trashed. (I think this is what you were going for?) Appearance: 1/1 - Definitely. Overall: 6/6 - Well done!
  20. Landry Named Captain, Misunderstands Role DAVOS - Before the beginning of the 36th season of the Victory Hockey League, the members of the HC Davos Dynamo took a vote to elect their new captains. The first vote showed the faith the team had in each other, with a three-way tie the final result. However, after another vote, Thomas Landry was voted as the captain of Davos, with Sergey Brovalenko and Matt Bentley as assistant captains. Nearly immediately, it became clear that Landry was not quite clear what being a captain meant. "Avast ye, mateys!" bellowed Landry following a team practice, steering around the ice on a Zamboni. "Set the rig to the starboard port and set sail for a championship!" Apparently believing that he is now the captain of a ship, Landry has been spotted wearing a naval officer's uniform around team facilities, sometimes sporting an eye patch. Online records show that he has purchased a parrot from Guatemala and is eagerly tracking his new acquisition. However, that isn't the most endearing of Landry's new behaviors. "He has this whistle he uses every single time he makes an announcement," said Shane Baker following a team practice. "Which just so happens to be very often. It has this peculiar way of piercing your ears and making you utterly powerless to resist his bizarre orders. Last time it happened, I ended up having to scrub the "deck," which is bogus because he already has the ice in pristine shape from driving that Zamboni everywhere." But is Landry's eccentric behavior a positive influence? The Dynamo have won their first two games, including their season opener at home against the Quebec City Meute. Winning cures all ailments, so will this hold true for Davos? "Tom is just having fun out there," said Davos' general manager, Victor Alfredsson. "I mean, just look at the way he has played so far this year. He's having fun, making him able to stay loose and focus on playing to the best of his abilities. He's done a great job so far and his line mates have really responded in a positive manner to his presence and abilities. You can't ask for more than that out of your captain. Did I mention we're winning?" Alfredsson, however, refused to elaborate on rumors that Davos gained an edge on their competitors due to Captain Landry leading daring raids on the visiting teams' locker room, distracting them and robbing them of their focus and some critical supplies. "I'm not going into detail about that," huffed a clearly agitated Alfredsson. "Those rumors are unfounded, baseless and completely untrue. Landry did no such thing and no proof will be found to prove he did any such thing because none exists." Center Davey Jones, teammates again with Landry after being line mates for the Season 33 Founder's Cup champion Bratislava Watchmen, has been ecstatic since joining the Dynamo and it has become increasingly clear why. "It's great to hang around and take the ice with Tommy again," said Jones after a practice. "Just like at Bratislava. We practice hard, then have fun off the ice. It's critical to have fun if you want to have any success in this league and Thomas Landry is a great guy to have around in order to make that happen." Jethro Novacek is a writer for the MSFL Times, always a safe haven for scurvy swashbucklers. He enjoys rigging the mast, broadsiding Spanish galleons and teaching his parrot Jack fine swear words.
  21. Very positive way to start the season, already beginning to get my linemates fed!
