Nice work on all of these guys. After being one of those players who really struggled in their rookie season I think the new VHLM Cap is a good idea, increases the competitiveness of the VHLM and could do just enough to not crowd the league.

Make the trade block public to everyone to see, think it would add a nice extra layer of (fun) drama to the league. It's just like a hockey insider reporting a guy is on the block.

Or give 2 or 3 guys access to the trade block and let them write articles on it.

1.) The expansion teams were recently revealed what do you think of the team names and logos?

I really like the city choices, however I think the DC Dragons sounds quite stupid. Prague Phantoms sound and look fantastic though.

2.) Which team do you think drafted better in the expansion draft?

I think they both made good decisions for the future of their team.

3.) Along with the reveal of the expansion teams, the league has divided into four divisions, how do you feel about that?

It's really exciting for me personally as I look forward to the heated division battle we are going to have next season.

4.) Will either of the new teams suck as bad as Malmo?

Yes, Prague is going to be a punching bag all next year.

6.) Speaking of the offseason, training camps have just started. What drills are you focusing on, and what do you hope to improve upon for this next season?

I'm working on my strength in order to be able to play a more two way game next season and contribute more to the team.

7.) Our team has a very good mix of vets and prospects, how do you feel about our chances this upcoming season?

I think we need to add another player and we should be championship or bust mentality.

It’s been a long hiatus from the league but I’m glad to be active again and have a promising player.

Victor being my GM has helped with this big time as I don’t want to let him down. As well as the new portal makes things a lot easier to check in a few times a week and still be a solid player.

 I’m glad I get to stay here instead of getting picked up in expansion. Hope to be a big part of Moscow’s D Core going forward.

Release the list of exposed players.

Thanks for the kind words brother. Nice article.

Were we 2007 or 2008 @Victor

As someone who might be at risk for the expansion draft, when are we getting details on that?

Game 3 - Helsinki Titans @ Vancouver Wolves

Game 4 - Helsinki Titans @ Vancouver Wolves

Game 5 - Vancouver Wolves @ Helsinki Titans

Game 5 - Vancouver Wolves @ Helsinki Titans 4-2

Points leader: Rauno Palo

Goals leader: Beau Louth

Assists leader: Rauno Palo

PIM lead: Matt Thompson

Series-winning goal: Julian Borwinn

1) The Menace lost a tough first round series against Riga. Where did we go wrong in the series?

We ran into a hot goalie and couldn't score, it happens sometimes. Just sucks it had to be in the playoffs for us.

2) The VHL finals sees Vancouver Wolves vs Helsinki Titans, who is going to win and why?

Probably Helsinki, they've had a nice run this year.

3) Who are your top choices for playoff MVP this season?

Beau Leuth has kinda carried Vancouver so I'd have to say him.

4) Off-season is already in full swing for the Menace. What off-season activities are you currently enjoying while we wait for S68 to start?

Just hanging out, finding new music which is my favorite thing to do.

5) What stat categories are you going to be focusing on improving as we enter the new season?

I'd like to be a bit more of a 2 way defender so I think I need to work on my physical game.

6) VHL is apparently expanding next season. Where do you think/hope the two new franchises will be located? Do you like or dislike the idea of league expansion?

I like it, it shows the league is healthy. I'd put a team in Prague or Denver/Chicago/Detroit.

New York blowing a 3-1 lead to Davos the season before.

lmao after I had left Davos after 3 years of devastating losses. What a league.

Still 

I know this is from S52 on. But if there's a worse moment for Riga than when we blew a 3-1 lead against NYA in the finals in S32 I'd like to see it. God damnit I hate NYA.

It should be noted though that the games themselves are still all fine. If you check the schedule in the portal even though the links are broken you can still see the actual boxscores. 

Yeah I saw the results via the portal, just was checking.

Are the game links broken for anyone else?
