  1. Kesler, that's not how you spell Ethan Osborne.
  2. Step 4. Score on Brookside. Step 5. Realize that step 4 is extremely improbable, give up, and sit at home watching the Notebook with a box of kleenex and a bowl of popcorn.
  3. How doesn't Rock Star get first star here
  4. My OT allowed 4 sacks.
  5. I did a Senior Sem article, 8 pages, without reading the book. Specific questions are the downfall of this strategy, but papers with free topics, that can be done...
  6. If you're ever in town, I need to take you to the Pete. Nothing like the full OAKLAND ZOO experience.
  7. That would explain a lot. Easy to lose 80-65 when the team skips out and goes to watch the Nets
  8. Let me start this off. WHERE WERE WE TONIGHT...
  9. Not sure if this is kept as a stat, but would there be a way to find out the most goalie shutouts in one season?
  10. pitching a shutout, that's always nice
  11. Same boat. If I beat RandomHero, I'm against the winner of Kendrick and Boom...
  12. Need: NIAGG - Fever vs Bora AARP - Kendrick vs Boom AARP - Lightning vs Smarch Racial Slurs - Flyers vs +minus Racial Slurs - Green vs Squinty Nemos - Beketov vs Toast Nemos - Romanes vs Kincaid
  13. Only half the round is up
  14. That would make sense if there were huge TPE gaps, but there are not. If my pick ends up 5 and those are the guys available, I don't take Olynick. He's not miles better than everyone else at that point. Same with Salo at 8. Sure, they're probably BPA at that point, but not by such a wide margin that the two guys who have GM goalies are going to take them for the extra 15 TPE. Also, you said in the OP that positional needs were a part of your formula. If you're just awarding BPA, then why claim that?
  15. Once we get to the actual building of players, do you want me to build Jurek as a return specialist

  17. New Over Old Part 2 In this continuation of the New Over Old series, we look at four other first-gen players. Having already looked at Blaine Olynick, Konstantin Jaroslav Azhishchenkov, Kai Randal, and Ron World Peace, this segment will put its focus on Jakob Linholm, Azmet Ali, Travis Boychuk, and Mikael Svensson. These four, along with the four from the first series, will make up a bulk of the Season 37 draft class, along with recreates Tom Slaughter, Slaeter Fjorsstrom, Logan Laich, as well as new semi-recreates Dexter Morgan, Walt Pringle, and those mentioned last time. LW - Jakob Linholm Jakob Linholm, left winger for the Bern Royals, has the skill set of a typical early VHL winger prospect. His skating, passing, and scoring are all above average, making him rather well-rounded offensively, while his defensive game is somewhat lagging behind. Many top VHLers learn their offensive skills early, and Linholm will do well to follow in that mold. He’s also been working on his puck handling, although he’s yet to make as many strides in that area as in the areas above. Linholm would make a great addition to an up and coming team, as he’d be able to get playing time and develop his skills. RW - Azmet Ali Azmet Ali, right wing for the Brampton Blades, is the least developed of the players in this series to this point. Note that in his case, least developed doesn’t mean least potential. Ali can certainly flourish, and as a prospect he’ll be highly sought after. Ali’s skills thus far lie in his passing, puck handling, defense, and leadership. It seems he’s developing as a playmaker, with crisp passes and smooth handling, yet making sure to be responsible enough in his own end. As for leadership, well, it’s rather too early for Ali to be put in a position to lead, but when he does, he’ll be ready for it. C - Travis Boychuk Travis Boychuk, center for the Ottawa Lynx, has only one skill above the average prospect player. This might seem like a weakness, as Boychuk isn’t very well rounded, but in fact it is a strength. Boychuk has phenomenal passing for a player at his level, and in fact can match several mid-level to depth VHLers in the skill already. His shot leaves a bit to be desired as does his skating ability, but if Boychuk gets the puck, expect him to deliver it to a teammate accurately and with goal setup in mind. Keeping this up, Boychuk should have a few Beketov trophies in his future as the leading assist-getter. C - Mikael Svensson Mikael Svensson, center for the Vasteras IK J20, is at this point another well-rounded forward in a similar mold to the aforementioned Linholm. What differs Svensson from Linholm at this point is that Linholm is faster, but Svensson has better control of the puck. Svensson (like Linholm) has an advanced offensive game with the ability both to pass and to score, and he will be a great addition to a young team on the rise, as it’ll earn him some playing time and some opportunities to hone his skills against top level competition. As with any draft, these are not all of the prospects that will be entering the Season 37 draft, nor are the even all of the first-gens. However, these are several of the ones who’ve made names for themselves thus far, and the fans can get excited about their teams drafting these players. (This will be another Doubles, using the last of my VHL Donation rewards)
  18. depends on when it is, but sure
  19. Made a backup free safety, Caballo Blanco
  20. So closely that you have the goalies going to two teams who have GM goalies
  21. CAL FUCK YEAH, Calgary's captain and the most resilient career player they've had, is finally making a request of his own. It has recently come to our attention that CAL FUCK YEAH has been in talks with Calgary management about bringing in two of his friends from other teams, NYA SENOR CHANG and TOR CAPTAIN PRICE. It has yet to be disclosed if Calgary management has done anything to acquiesce to CAL FUCK YEAH's request, if either of the players will be brought in, or if New York and Toronto would be open to selling. However, given the tenure of CAL FUCK YEAH and his selfless ways thus far, it is doubtful that the request will cause any sort of rift in the locker room between him, Henrik Larsson, Rock Star, and Hashtag Manning Jr. The only statement we've heard from Calgary management on the matter is that they'd look to bring in the two players for proper value, but Vasteras GM Thomas Corcoran has all of the 4th round picks locked away in Fort Knox.
  22. CAL FUCK YEAH submits 5 team list, just to be over the top
