Hopefully you're in better health now and can create a kick-ass player this time around! Rooting for you Appreciate the pronunciation help as well haha.

David David Heating Up As the weather outside (for most of us) gets warmer, so is the play of S99 draft prospect David David. Many scouts thought this might happen but you really can never tell with young players. However, when speaking with the young Brit it's clear that he's very motivated to improve. "I said all along at the beginning of the season that you shouldn't judge me for my first 40-50 games as I knew it would take a while to adjust to the pace of play here," said David after his morning skate. "You should really be focused on my last 20 games since that'll give you an idea for how impactful I can be." To his credit, his improvement may have come earlier than anticipated as we can see by him exceeding the pace of production that he'd set at the 20 game mark of the season. In the last 30 games he's developed a scoring touch (9 goals) and substantially increased his on-ice effectiveness - only being -5 through the past 30 games on a pretty poor San Diego Marlins team. It's exciting to see what he can do in the last 22 games of the season and whether or not this will be enough to convince VHL GMs to draft him in the top 5 next off-season.

There's always a few bumps in the road in any season. A small rough patch has seen us lose some ground in the standings. What do you think went wrong? Sounds like y'all are missing some leadership to keep you motivated during the dog days of the season. Or you're just bored of winning. The trade deadline is a week from today. Are you expecting any big moves to be made before then? I don't think so. Most teams seem to have done their shopping already. Theme week is also upon us, do you plan to take advantage and if so how will (or did you)? For the first time in a long time, yes! I'm trying to make my new player a HOFer so I have to take advantage of these things. If you could create any new player attribute, what would it be and what impact would it have? Great question. Some sort of decision-making attribute that helps "make the right play at the right time". If you had autocratic control over the league for the rest of this season and next, what would be your first order of business? Give Moscow the #1 pick so they could draft David David. What unacceptable airplane behavior do you wish people would stop doing on the team plane? Stop recording @jRuutu and me making out. Please let us have some privacy.

I would also enjoy my player if they get 25 hattricks in their career like Severus Targaryen has to date

David David Scores Surprising Hatty It's been a tough adjustment to the VHLM for David David, but recently there was a moment of hope that he'll be able to settle in and make a name for himself when he scored a hattrick against the championship contending Mexico City Kings. Even more surprisingly, the lowly San Diego Marlins actually managed a victory and now sit at 8 wins in 36 games played. There was another storyline here as Mexico City gave David his first ever chance in the VHLM so you know he had to be fereally good about that. When asked about it after the game, David had this to say. "Credit to the boys for putting themselves in front of the net and making it difficult for the goalie to see my floaters from the point. They really deserve credit for the goals, not me. Obviously it's nice to get a few and have an impact in a winning game but don't get used to it yet. I still have so much to learn and there's a ton of areas I need to better develop to help make a difference on this team. I won't lie, it was great to have this type of game against Mexico City and I got a couple of jabs from their bench about it but it's all love at the end of the day." David's shooting percentage on the season now sits at 25%. Is that a sign of a player who will be scoring 30+ at the highest level? Or is he just on an incredibly lucky run of form? We'll have the answer to that sometime in the next 5-6 seasons.

Fresh off a week 15 game win streak!! we've had an excellent start to our season but had two tough losses to Toronto. What do you think it is about Toronto that made it a tough matchup for us? Y'all are cracked. They have a deep and balanced team, tough to exploit any weaknesses. What award will Obuz take home this season now that he's a forward? None, should've stayed a defenceman. What rule would you add to the locker room out of pure superstition? No phones in the locker room, gotta lock in. What annoying trend should be banned from the locker room and result in a 15-game suspension? Phone in the locker room. Who is a good dark horse team that we should watch out for this season? I always try to look at young teams where their players are developing quickly. They can really sneak up on unsuspecting teams. So, for example, if London makes the playoffs they might make some noise. Are the Capitals legit or will they fall apart in the playoffs as they historically had for most of Ovechkin's career? They have such a solid backbone to their team it'll be surprising if they don't make a run. The East isn't that strong this year either.

Claim 2/2

48 straight seasons GMing a single team is crazzzzzzzzy

David David Settling In As predicted, David David has had a rough start to his VHLM career. Not that much was expected out of the S99 draftee, but even so he's struggled slightly more than most thought he would. Scoring aside, because he'll never produce too many goals, he hasn't really contributed toward driving offence on the San Diego Marlins. He's on pace for 25 points which is okay, but also on pace for a shocking -47 which even for a VHLM rookie is bad. He's not contributing much in the way of defence either, blocking only one shot per game and throwing two hits per game. "It's a lot faster than I'm used to," said David to reporters after the Marlins had gotten shut out yet again. "I'm struggling to keep up with these guys, but the last few games have been a little easier to manage. Just trying to improve every game so that I can start contributing to the team in a more meaningful manner. As long as we're playing better each game, the coaching staff will be pleased." David still has over 50 games to show the VHL teams what he has to offer, and he'll have to start playing a little better if he hopes to be a top 10 pick in the S99 draft.

We're off to a good start (10-2-1 as of the writing of this post) and second EU. What are your thoughts on the hot start? It's Moscow innit, it's what y'all do. We have 5 or more goals in 6 of our 13 games. What do you think is driving the explosiveness of our offense? When 3/4 of your defencemen are playing at a point-per-game pace or better, that's going to drive a lot of offence. We're blasting a whole album in the locker room before a game. What's your submission? Throw on some Coldplay. What brand would you sign a deal with for gear (sticks, gloves,, helmet, skates)? Great question, probably gloves since I feel like that'd be a bit of a novelty. Which opponent's city would you most want to explore with a day off on the road? Probably Riga, looks amazing and I've never been to Latvia before. What would you say is your player's most underrated skillset? I think right now, nothing, but in the future I think David David will have a pretty high level of puck handling for a defenceman.

1. I expect him to get better as the season goes on. I think if I can become point-per-game player for the last 20 games of the season then I’ve done my job. 2. 106.5, I expect big things. 3. I’ve been listening to “Talk of the Devils” a lot lately, so probably that. 4. Australia. Grow the game there, so let’s say Brisbane. 5. Spartan is washed as a GM (unless he drafts me in S99) 6. That’s a great question. I don’t really have an answer to that one.
