YaBoi Oven: A Reflection

YaBoi Oven quietly scans the Helsinki locker room, which is beginning to buzz with activity and final preparations. It’s opening night in Helsinki, and Season 93 is one for which both the Titans and Oven have lofty expectations. After joining Helsinki as the first overall pick in Season 90, entirely bypassing the VHLE and making the Titans’ roster in his first season of eligibility, Helsinki’s fortunes have drastically changed. After season after season of frustrating mediocrity, the Titans have become a perennial contender under General Manager Mickey Dickson, making the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, highlighted with a Continental Cup Finals appearance in Season 91. However, YaBoi Oven, while a solid contributor to the team’s successes, has not been a consistent driving force of the Titans, something that now must change with the retirement of Pierre Emile Bouchard.

Evidence of those expectations are quite visible as well, as Oven glances down to see an A now adorning his sweater as an alternate captain of the Titans. Over his first three seasons, he’s become a leader in the locker room, and now he’ll be expected to become a leader on the ice as well. The potential is certainly there, as Oven recorded a point-per-game average in the Season 92 Playoffs, along with his usual strong presence defensively. It will take more than a strong 14 games, however, to prove that he was the correct choice at first overall four seasons ago. Players selected with that pick are expected to be generational talents, exceptional players who lead their teams to continued success and perform at the highest level. Helsinki has definitely been successful, and while Oven has been solid, an argument can be made that he was not essential to that success. Now entering his fourth season, the time is now to take that next step and become one of the league’s elite defensemen.

Oven looks up with a grin. Kronchy Kardashian, the new captain of the Helsinki Titans, is bouncing around and getting their teammates hyped up and ready to go. Oven stands up, grabs his helmet, and begins to join in with the antics when suddenly, a chorus of distant boos can be heard.

“Sounds like Warsaw beat us out there,” Oven remarks with a chuckle.

“Nah,” retorts Kardashian. “That poverty franchise has never been on time for anything. I bet it’s the officials getting that reaction.”

The boos get even louder now, and there is no doubt that the Predators have now taken the ice. It is, after all, practically a brand new team this season, looking to compete for the Cup instead of for the best lottery odds.

“Alright, no more screwing around, let’s go boys!” booms Oven as he straps on his helmet and takes off towards the tunnel, having to slow his roll before he runs over goaltender Fuukka Rask, who has been silently waiting there for minutes now.

“About time,” he chuckled. “But I need to be out there first!”

Season 93 was finally ready to begin.

Additionally, my favorite Molly the Cat story:

I was scouting for the draft, and Molly the Cat was one of my targets. I tried to do an interview, only to end up interviewing the son instead of the father. Very humorous mistake looking back on it.

This has to be the coolest jersey retirement done so far. Amazing stuff for an amazing career!

SKOL

Greetings, citizens of the Victory Hockey League!

It is I, Jarl Doomsday, General Manager of the Stockholm Vikings of the VHLE and the newly appointed General Manager of Team Scandinavia. While today is as good as any other day to die gloriously in battle and join our fallen brethren in the halls of Valhalla, that is not what we are here to do today. Instead, I am here to announce the roster for Team Scandinavia, to recognize our finest warriors, our very best men, women, and reptiles. Scandinavia has a proud tradition of producing both hearty warriors and elite hockey players, and the players that make up our roster fall into both of these categories as the very best that our countries have to offer. Without further gala pageantry... the Season 92 edition of Team Scandinavia!!

Our axe...

Our shield...

Our indomitable will.

Our warriors are assembled, the faith of our nations behind us. Now, we embark on the journey to the Season 92 World Cup, a long and arduous voyage by sea to a strange, foreign land called Portland, Oregon. No matter how difficult the trials of our journey may be, we are prepared to arrive stronger than we were when we left, more determined and focused to return from our quest with the plunder of gold around our necks. Be warned, those of weaker body and mind, for we are coming.

So sayeth Jarl Doomsday.

If you would like to join us on our journey and support Team Scandinavia or (foolishly) some other nation on Discord, you may do so here.

1) What is your player doing this off-season to prepare for the upcoming season?

 

2) What did you think of the VHL Finals? Did DC's comeback win surprise you?

 

3) It's regression time! How badly was your player hit (if you're in regression years) and did you do enough to prepare? (eg saved tpe or bought fighters)

1. Keep on working, there is always room to be better! Contentment is when you begin your decline!

2. It was a phenomenal series, and both goaltenders were absolutely outstanding. Teno has a shot to be the Kanou winner despite not winning the Cup, that's how fantastic he was.

3. Regression has not hit yet, but the banking will likely begin soon, since I'll have the 9th season regression to worry about.

1. Experience points will be available tomorrow, do you think the Experience attribute factors into the sim a lot or not at all?

2. Which VHL player do you think has the best chance to defeat a kangaroo in open combat?

3. If you could be on any VHL team throughout the league's history, which team and season would it be?

The Stockholm Vikings have offered a one year contract extension to defenseman Hannibal Barca. @DreMin15, please reply to this post to accept the extension.

The Stockholm Vikings have offered a one year contract extension to RW Joseph Jec. @Joseph Jec, it will become official if you reply to accept the extension offer.

1) What motivates your player to succeed in their career?

2) Would you rather play your whole career with one team or move around to experience different team cultures?
3) What is your pre-game meal?

1. To inspire the next generation of Hungarian VHL players!

2. I typically am the type to stick with a team until they decide to rebuild.

3. As long as it's loaded with carbs, it's the way to go!

1. What is the most annoying ad campaign you've been subjected to?

2. Early S93 prediction for the Continental Cup?

3. What's your go-to snack?

@rory who's getting jailed tonight? Would like to know so we both don't target the same person. 

I know how @woog can definitively prove he's legit.

I am writing an article for eaglesfan. Only the two of us know the title. If you can tell me the title, you're legit.

I will unvote in good faith. 

UNVOTE WOOG

idk anymore lmao

VOTE COUNT:

woog: 5 (Adrest, Alex, Advantage, jacobaa, Dooms)

Just now, Advantage said:

Correct. Can technically feed as much info as they want.  Not all of it is truthful from the sources themselves of course.  And then after death they can seance with one alive member once. *From my memories of being one so hopefully I’m not wrong (was my first ToS game when I was one). 

Means woog is full of shit then, since he claimed all of his info is a day behind instead of in real time. He went off of the Wiki.

VOTE WOOG

Hold up.

Doesn't the Medium get to talk to the dead all day, as opposed to only at night like the actual game?
