Yep, same reason why Halifax was the 3rd seed last season, even though we finished 2nd

Superbot looking oddly… human maybe this will endear him to his teammates more— if his 99 leadership doesn’t do it Awesome graphic! You’re too good at these

lol, good luck with that tbf, I’d pay to see it— though I don’t have a million dollars… unfortunately for me

Okay, I know it's not VHL related, but I'm not claiming any TPE for it and this was too exciting not to share-- plus it gave me a reason to repurpose my GM graphic for something actually important (which was sorta the secret plan all along)! Jessica Campbell was just announced on Wednesday as an Assistant Coach for the Seattle Kraken! After a couple seasons as an assistant for their minor league affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, Campbell earned the promotion after the recent hiring of Dan Bylsma as the Kraken Head Coach. Being named as an NHL assistant coach makes her the first woman in history to be hired to a full time NHL coaching position! This is such an exciting and important hire for women in hockey-- and hockey as a whole, for that matter! It's not only a huge milestone for the game, but a hiring that will, no doubt, inspire future generations of young women and girls to get involved in the sport in all aspects. I know for myself, her story really resonated with me and stuck with me since I read about her a couple years ago so if you don't know much about her yet, I highly recommend looking her up as I'm sure you'll be hearing more about her over the next number of years! Link: A great article by The Score about Campbell and her story ༻༺

What a fun season, but I'm honestly glad it's over! I'm sooooo ready for the playoff HYPE!

lol so much for not being cluttered with silliness! tbf I forgot about some of that…

Campbell got the job! The first woman ever to hold a full time coaching position on an NHL bench!

I think the balance is actually pretty good between the forum and Discord, like you suggested. The forum is where I tend to look for more complete thoughts/posts and the discord is where all the unfiltered ridiculous banter tends to end up. The plus side of that is the forum doesn’t get cluttered with silliness, but there’s still a place to get involved in that if you so desire. It also kinda gives teams a bit more of a personal club feel as the chatter there is more immediate and things happen in real time. …why am I rambling? I agree with you, lol thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Awesome as usual! Just wanted to shout out @diacope Meghan Dancalot who also eclipsed 100 points this season in the VHLM! It won’t show on the portal leaders page because she was traded and the portal doesn’t add stats between the two teams, but the index does! Also, there’s no backup goalie start rule in the VHLM, but I think you figured that out

Yeah, I’m trying to get a head start on the rulebook because it’s going to take me a minute to actually remember stuff, plus I have a tendency to misremember things so I have to keep it all straight

It’s all good! You added the rule reference which is also helpful, so thanks! I’ve been known to gloss over the rules, lol sometimes I do need to be told twice!

Makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!

I hate myself for loving this...

I'm not lovin the clown

Hmm, very tempting It would be a fun series for sure!

Ngl I would be kinda disappointed to see Ottawa beat Halifax tomorrow, but it would be kinda fun for the chaos if Philly doesn’t win their games. I guess we’ll see what happens!

The great one approves.

For what it's worth, I'm cheering for it! And it's definitely not impossible!

It's a super tight goalie race in the E this season between the top 3! Should be exciting to see who comes out on top!

I'm just here to die on the Pineapple Pizza Hill. Pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza and anyone who says otherwise has confused tastebuds. Good luck in the playoffs Houston!

1. Woooo-- I mean, huh, how about that? I'm going to try not to celebrate too hard since our real goal is the Founder's Cup. It's definitely a big accomplishment for the team though, so we'll celebrate that maybe after the playoffs or something. Curse? There better not be! I will sacrifice John Season as many times as it takes to satisfy Simon and avoid some silly curse! 2. Well, we have full control of our destiny here. If we beat Ottawa tomorrow, then we get Philly in the first round, otherwise it's possible Ottawa gets in. I think we can beat either team in a 7 game series, but Ottawa scared us a little recently with a shootout game so maybe we just win tomorrow and take Philly first round? 3. My player is an enigma. I can never tell when I'm going to go 10 games without a point or score 4 points in a single game. So I mostly ignore her and I'll check the stats at the end of the season and probably be okay with it. 4. Boris Bone-Breaker @RileyL is an all-timer for me, especially because he plays exactly how you'd imagine he would. I also really like the Dorji Khan story that @Oddpurplefly has created and the Mongolian Stallion he's become! 5. Yes! I spray paint the bottom third of my stick a matte white and then use white tape (stole the idea from Joe Pavelski). It makes the stick super hard to see against the ice and harder to read on shots. Same reason why goalies mostly wear white equipment. That's a real thing, look it up if you don't believe me lol. Gotta take every advantage you can get! 6. Lol no chance in hell. I don't think I could stop 1/10 shots by an old Pat Maroon, let alone a prime Pat Kane. But for a million dollars, I'll try

Mickey Mouse franchise… jk Vancouver is awesome
