This is so awesome, I love it! I just saw this browsing through new content— for some reason I didn’t get a notification even though you clearly tagged me lol, or it’s entirely possibly that I just missed it… Thanks for making this though, sadly my rookie season is now over

So glad to have you finish your VHLM career with Halifax! Your player has been incredible for us since the trade!

Oh, I'm always ready! Congrats on your amazing career @DarkSpyro!

1. I think it’s just how deep and talented our roster is. We’ve got some great high end veterans, some good prime players, and some nice up and comers, plus an amazing goalie. It’s just a great team top to bottom that I think can compete with the best! 2. I think one more solid defensive game where we shut them down will win it for us. This last game we allowed too many and we’ve gotta be better for Panda. So more defense = win I think! 3. I was not incorrect necessarily, lol, but I think Red Panda is our unsung hero always, just so steady in goal and the backbone of our team so let’s give them some love! 4. Conditioning is hopefully holding up! This is what you play for so if you can’t dig deep and find another gear at this point in the season, what are you even doing! 5. Hmm that’s a good question… I’d probably just have a normal day and bring it everywhere I go lol. Come on, cup, let’s go to for a run! Or just have dinner sitting across from a trophy… oh, the stories it could tell… 6. No. I want him to, but I think he comes up like 8 shy or something— 8 would be kinda poetic so he could chase the final 8 in maybe one more season before he retires.

I am not a loud snorer! Though I am sleeping a lot these days… also, maybe I’d have shoes if somebody didn’t steal them in the first place!

1. It was definitely huge that we avoided the wildcard round because anything can happen there and it’s one more opportunity for a team to knock us out potentially. As a player, you just want the best chance to keep the dream alive and skipping the wildcard does that for sure! 2. I was following Moscow mainly in the wildcard round since I think they’re a lot better than their record showed this season and I thought they’d be a top team in the league this season. I wouldn’t want to be the team to face them coming out of the wildcard because they could definitely go on a run and be a scary team! 3. I’m mostly just chilling, getting some rest and trying to get refreshed for the first round. The season is fun, but it can be a grind week after week so I’m just trying to reset to be 100% for playoffs! 4. I think us rookies could definitely be a factor if we can bring our best game to the playoffs. Annie Oaks @Noodle Enjoyer in particular could be a huge player for us if she gets going in the postseason to give us some depth scoring, and the talent is definitely there! 5. after a full season, I think my most improved area is puck handling. I’ve really been working on those stick skills and protecting the puck so I don’t cause so many turnovers. 6. I think there must be at least one or two more big trades in the works before the next season begins, it seems like there’s always something later in the summer or early in the fall that catches everyone off guard. Who it could be though, I have no idea…

It’s a dark mode/light mode issue, you must be in light mode, if you go dark you can see it easily.

Also, real. Kane is too good

This was great! I actually really enjoyed hearing your reflections on your first season and I think it gives some great perspective for other players in a similar position and prospective GMs who are interested in drafting your player! Your draft stock is definitely going up with your increasing TPE every week, consistent activity, and creating content like this podcast for the forum. That checks all the boxes that every team will be looking for and I have no doubt you’ll be a top pick in the upcoming draft! I’d obviously love to bring you back to Halifax, but I’m doubtful you’ll still be available at our first pick sadly. I think you’re spot on too with your thoughts on why it can be difficult to play on a team with a lot of capped players as well. On a different team you very well could’ve scored more points this season and I would expect a lot more next season as well, but I appreciated hearing your honesty and patience with the process and I know it will pay off as you keep going. Seriously, great podcast! If you’re looking for more ideas for what you might do for future episodes, @Phil does some really great ones every week or two so you might check those out for some inspiration if you haven’t already! He also has a question thread where community members can ask questions (that also fulfill the press conference task) and then those questions can be answered in the episode too.

Love the player choice

You’ve been doing really well so far and having that context with your disability makes it even more amazing! I’ve enjoyed the VHL for a lot of the same reasons that mentioned and it kinda surprised me too when I first joined. I hope you have along and successful career and I look forward to seeing where Davies ends up next!

This should be a fun series! I can’t wait to see how it goes, definitely interesting that the season series was close!

This is hilarious, and honestly kinda sweet Who let the shop get burgled though? All that money raised and the Cesons couldn’t afford a security guard?

Round 2 will be the real test for us. I believe we can get through— but does Simon

Thank you so much for this amazing write up and for all your kind words, it really means a lot to me! I’ve had so much fun with VHL since I joined so none of it has felt like work, and that’s a credit to all the amazing people I’ve interacted with here— especially you @ace_five_! You’ve been an amazing support as AGM this past season too and I know you’ll do great things as GM someday soon! Seriously, thanks for this, I really appreciate it

Congrats on your first hat trick!!!

Go Hounds!

Congrats on an amazing regular season! 131 points is incredible

Great write up! I think VSN is a lot more optimistic about Halifax than me, which makes me feel a bit better I feel like Simon’s had it out for me lately…

This one is incredible! Amazing work!

Sink in… I see what you did there lol I have no idea what you’re talking about…

Oh Jesus…

This is amazing! And a super fun way to wrap up the regular season!
