    Who said that was good? When shit goes on, you want to tag me in it when it's happening, or just passive aggressively refer to it later on assuming tacit approval?
  2. Super happy you could provide a spot for @Liberty_Cabbage and @cartoes given the cap trouble I was in last season. Great guys, big pieces of Prague lore, just didn't manage to fit them in financially (sac'd my own player as well to make it work, so unfortunately it really was just cap). Good to see them wind down their careers with Riga
  3. @Victor has there been a Belize player?

      Not according to this https://vhlforum.com/topic/73704-every-nations-greatest-vhl-player-a-to-c/

       

      Youd have to filter by Belize in the portal to see if there was anyone newer.

    Agreed. While obviously in the final portions of his tenure things were not spectacular, there have been times where Dil was genuinely good for the team and had people excited to play there. The end is unfortunate, but respect to him for some major portions of his time.

    A few people have already heard about what is going on here, so allow me to get out in front of things: Due to multiple things over the course of several seasons, and having been warned in the past and having been on the receiving end of violations, enough has added up that we have decided to remove @Dil from the role of Halifax GM. Understandably, this is a severe move with only limited precedent, and it's particularly harsher than might have been expected, but it's added up over time to such a point that for the sake of the Halifax team and those associated, it was seen as the necessary move to make at this time. *NOTE: Dil himself has received a bit more in depth explanation on the matter, but I would request that the main details remain among only the relevant parties. Dil is the one who needed to hear it, and he has. He was owed as much out of respect for his time served in the role. Effective immediately, as it is the busiest time of the season for VHLM GMs and it's simpler under the circumstances to give the team to an individual already intimately familiar with the workings of the VHLM (and he was among a select pool of qualified candidates anyway, making this part of the decision much easier than the decision to remove in the first place): @rory will be taking over as Halifax GM. Again, this is not a step we take lightly, so please treat this situation with the seriousness it deserves - it's going to be hard on a lot of people, especially Dil himself.

  18. in, can also manage, can also filler if necessary
  19. Official member of the team or not, Acyd has been part of "unofficially official" for ages now although you're not wrong with the eyes either
  20. So, a slight change in staffing. @Seabass is remaining as part of my internal strats crew as his insights are valuable to me and I don't want to lose that, but he has decided to relinquish the AGM job in particular, so that a new guy could get an opportunity. As a result, there just so happens to be a new guy who is already a member of Prague, has already stepped up to help with some draft scouting due to being in a few different VHLM discords, and I'm definitely happy to give him such a role, both as a matter of giving him a resume for future jobs, as well as seeing the backstage of how a team is run (and where better than a team with two VHLM commissioners, a VHLM GM, and the guy who is specifically vacating on his behalf). Welcome @domg5 to the ranks!
  21. No I figured you weren't - honestly while it was a reply to you, the comment was more 1. general and 2. a bit of a peace of mind thing toward anyone who did remember the negatives in the past. I'll be the first to admit I specifically stood in the way of him being hired at least once (during the Sonnet era I remember an instance) but he's more than made up for it.
  22. You do remember correctly, and there was at least one hiring where I've passed over him due to the thing you remember, but the guy's been good since and we've decided to give him another shot - the fact that when the two openings came up, he specifically requested MIS to fix things, speaks a lot to his character now and I'm confident it'll work out.
  23. go efiug go woo efiug i love this guy woo go efiug
  24. For those of us who still think the DSA is the "greatest country in the world" - there are dozens of countries wherein attempted coups are not tolerated, let alone spurred on by the leader of said country. The DSA is not the greatest country in the world, never has been, but never has it been more evident than today.

      That’s not true. Everyone was vibing Spencer Knight and Team USA a few hours before. I’d also like to think a large portion of the United States supports dunk’n donuts and Popeyes chicken.

      I think it's easy to overestimate just how many Americans (especially those from the Murica crowd) even knew the World Juniors were happening, let alone actually supporting Team USA. We're on a hockey site, the percentage of us here who would have watched it is not representative of most of the country. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have known about it had I not seen so many posts from VHL Canadians on discord about it, and that's from someone who actually follows hockey. Most of us don't.

      Ugh hearing that makes me sad kinda.. I love hockey so much! Lol it’s crazy how massive soccer is basically in every corner of the world but hockey is so mostly popular in Canada.. I’d say USA, Sweden and Russia too but probably not comparable to Canada?
