Another season in the VHLM comes and then goes, and here we are ready for the off-season with so much to look back on. The Houston Bulls recently finished their S93 run after experiencing disappointing back to back second round exits in S91 and S92. After a crazy season in S92, it was foot back on the pedal in S93 for the Bulls to find the playoffs and seek redemption of a finals appearance. With only one player returning on the roster, it was now right to the draft board to scheme up a plan of a "core" to our blank roster.
 
Goaltender Herald Benson @Benson made his return this season in hopes of leading this franchise to another deep playoff run. Benson played the backup role through the S92 playoffs and was ready for his shot at glory this time around. I made it very clear to Benson that Houston management wanted him in our crease and that we would not be drafting another goaltender. Instead, I decided to make a trade for some skaters. Elf Shoes @ELF_SH0ES and Charlie Klepacki @chuck.hockey7 flew west from Miami after being traded for a future 1st round pick. I figured the addition of these two developed forwards could make my draft decisions much easier. Fast forward and the first round of the S93 VHLM Dispersal Draft ends with the Houston crickets chirping. It was not until the 16th pick in the second round when Houston stepped onto the floor, taking Houston's AGM and assistant captain, Billy Joel @The goat of hockey. Later followed captain Filip Zinek @FiZi, and assistant captain Wladyslaw Mintus @mintusaurus followed shortly after. Last but not least, Cole Stermer @Bazeus finished the Bulls' draft and our "core" was starting to become of shape. Once the draft completed and some time rolled on before the regular season started, two waiver players put the pen to paper. S94 players  Hulk Smash @Cuffy and Tommy James Longpre @TJ Longpre finalized the Houston Bulls S93 starting roster:
 
G - (S93) Herald Benson
LW - (S93) Elf Shoes
C - (S93) Charlie Klepacki
D - (S93) Billy Joel
LW - (S93) Filip Zinek
D - (S93) Wladyslaw Mintus
RW - (S93) Cole Stermer
LW - (S94) Hulk Smash
LW - (S94) Tommy James Longpre
 
The regular season was ready to commence and Houston's 6-2-1 roster looked to be one of the most competitive when compared with the rest of the VHLM teams. The Bulls came out seeing red! Winning 13 of the first 20 games played, Houston was a competitor in the competitive Western Conference featuring Las Vegas and Saskatoon. Not to mention, sitting above all to start the season was two hot Eastern conference teams. Halifax and Ottawa had an allergy for losing, making this race for the VHLM title a tough one. Houston fell a bit in stride after this 20 game milestone and a small gap was occurring. Luckily a young talented center decided on Houston! A Tsunami rolls into town as Johnny Tsunami @Vice joins the Bulls on his search for hardware and the S94 VHL draft. The entrance of Tsunami really brought me hope in our offence. I felt I had left our all-star goaltender out to dry with the short bench I created. The trade deadline was approaching and another trade was needed to be done if Houston wanted any chance at a finals appearance. San Diego was looking for a rebuild and two defenders is deeply what Houston needed. Ray Stanton @horoscope was leading the Marlins charge and was now relied on to play a big part in Houston's charge. LaClapbomb Hitstick IV @Greasy Gary would also come east with Stanton to fill Houston's defensive depth in his rookie campaign. The two ex-Marlins were excited to be part of a potentially deep playoff run and so was I.
 
Trade deadline came and so did the date for players to recreate for the S95 draft. A pleasant surprise came to my DMs when Ukrainian winger Konstyantyn Shevchenko @der meister of the Austrian ICE hockey league wanted to become a Houston Bull. The depth winger has a lot of potential and was placed on the first line to bond with Czechian captain Filip Zinek. As well as Shevchenko, another global hockey player made their way to the Houston Bulls locker room this season. Samsayz I-Smell @CaptainSB made the long trek from Antarctica and brought a funny stench as well. With that the roster was complete and the Bulls had a first round playoff series to get ready for. After clinching a spot in the S93 playoffs so early on in the season, the race for position of seeding was on! Houston went on a 13 game winning streak to finish our S93 regular season, outscoring teams 46-15. This boosted the team's morale and to put it into short terms, we were buzzin'. After tying Saskatoon for 1st place in the Western Conference with 98 points, only to lose by ROW, Houston would finish S93 in the 4th seed.
 
Playoffs quickly came and the stinkin' Las Vegas Aces were on the menu. All season long Las Vegas and Houston traded games with Las Vegas having a 7-3 regular season record. The Bulls seemed to be unstoppable as of late and that is exactly what happened after five games. Houston would move on to the second round for the third season in a row, this time to see the 1st seed Ottawa Lynx. Quick history lesson:
 
S91: Houston loses 2nd round 4-3 to 1st seed Saskatoon; Saskatoon wins Cup S92: Houston loses 2nd round 4-2 to 1st seed Philadelphia; Philadelphia wins Cup  
If history was to repeat itself, we were screwed. I had a lot of confidence in this series since of the 13 game win streak to end the season, Ottawa was 2 of those games. The series started off like a ping pong match, Games 1 and 2 with the series tied at 1-1... Games 3 and 4 with the series tied at 2-2. Then we headed to single day sims, Games 5 and 6... series tied at 3-3. Game 7 was needed to decide if Houston could break this 10 season Finals Appearance, "second round curse" that the Bulls have built to our franchise's name. Game 7 came and so did a lot of penalties before an Ottawa Lynx win. What a series, what a season, what a team. It was devastating to see that loss after such a good season. Starting off with only a franchise goalie in the crease, to filling out a roster, to a second round exit, I can not complain. Houston gave it our all this season and I am very proud of the consistency and effort this team showed me. The cherry on top is that Houston did not have to release anyone to inactivity!!! 🎉 It makes me so happy to see everyone stick around for the run, even with someone getting engaged, someone broke an elbow... a lot of life getting in the way which is so okay! Thank you Bulls for making it another fun season even though we couldn't get a chance at that trophy. It did feel good to watch the Wild sweep the finals though lol.

The S94 VHL draft is coming up and 3 Houston Bulls will be eligible! Johnny Tsunami, Hulk Smash and Tommy James Longpre are all S94 VHL draft eligible players in Houston's discord!
 
What are Management plans? We secured the right amount of picks to be pick compliant again this season and look to use those picks to draft some more studs. Houston is always looking to be competitive and future draft eligibility will have to be dealt with, but should be an easy fix. For myself, I'd like to make it publicly clear that I would like to apply for the position of Riga GM once that opens. I have completed 8 seasons as Houston GM and I am ready for more, but I feel like I am also ready for something bigger now. This will be my first time applying for a VHL GM role so I am very excited!

The Season 95 VHLM Draft is approaching... at some point, so I thought it would be fun to do a mini-deep dive (a shallow dive?) into some of the top prospects, by position. Today I'm going to highlight the top three defensive prospects, ranked solely by TPE, as of May 6th.
 
1 - Ahsoka Tano - 138 TPE. Tano is @aimkin's new player, a 31 year old 6'3" 165 pounder. So far, the build has a nice, balanced spread across Deking, Poke Checking, Defensive Coverage, and Speed, each of which are at 32. In 15 games with Mexico City as a free agent, Tano had a goal an 10 assists, a -7 rating, and 14 minutes in the sin bin.
 
2 - Alphonse Desjardins - 121 TPE. This 6'4" French defenseman from @Anthique is a big boy, at 215 pounds at age 18. With Deking, Stick Handling, Poke Checking, Defensive Coverage, Offensive Vision, and Slap Shot all at 20 points, he is a well-balanced specimen, as further evidenced by his 13 points in 13 games with the San Diego Marlins.
 
3 - Boris Bone-Breaker - 121 TPE. At 6'6" and 238 pounds, this 29 year old from Russia is a beast. With 42 points in Body Checking (Bone Crushing, perhaps?), 17 in Poke Checking, and 59 in Defensive Coverage,  @RileyL is clearly making a physical, shutdown defender, a move for which I personally approve of, alliteration not withstanding. 

Having signed with the Houston Bulls coming out of the Austrian ICE Hockey League, Ukrainian winger Konstyantyn Shevchenko clearly struggled to adjust to the smaller VHLM ice surfaces. In 17 games with the Bulls, Shevchenko scored 3 goals and added 3 assists, while finishing a +10. While Shevchenko did not contribute much in a statistical way, it should be noted that the Bulls went on an outstanding run of games to close out the season and cement themselves as one of the true threats in the postseason. Unfortunately for Houston, the Bulls went on to lose to Ottawa in game 7 of the second round of the playoffs, a game in which Shevchenko scored.
 
But what has been making headlines is his words off the ice. "Of course it would be great to just play the game and live my life that way," Shevchenko recently told Eurosport.com, via interpreter, in a hotly-anticipated interview, "but that is just not the reality of the situation. There is so much going on in my homeland, so much pain and sorrow, and it's impossible for me to forget that every time I lace up my skates. I know I am incredibly fortunate to even have a chance to make a living by playing a game for children. There is not a single day I do not think of the people in my village, or in Kalush, where I played for the Legion before coming to Austria. I do not have the skills to be a soldier, I think, though if I did, I imagine I'd be a sniper on the battlefield, the same way I try to be on the ice."
 
This excerpt has been making the rounds in the junior hockey media world, with some claiming that Shevchenko's seeming comparison to being a goal scorer in ice hockey versus a trained killer on the battlefield is in bad taste, or controversial in some regard, which may impact his draft stock. Others say that it simply shows his level of competitiveness, a trait that should translate well to the next level.
 

A weapon of war, a road not travelled
 
Potential attitude issues aside, it seems clear that Shevchenko should be a first round selection in the VHLM Entry Draft. Arguably the top forward available, Shevchenko is capable of launching a variety of shots with blistering velocity, especially considering his age. Undoubtedly scouts would like to see him improve in both his footspeed and his attention to play in his own zone, but even if he only becomes a modest defensive forward, his offensive skills will be enough to make pro scouts salivate. He also has an enormous frame, standing 6'7" before putting on the skates, a trait that has led some people to mutter the name "Tage Thompson" when they talk about him. Whether or not he reaches his full potential, Konstyantyn Shevchenko has arrived in North America and is clearly ready to be make an impact. And now formally an undrafted, unattached free agent, the question begs to be asked: what will his true rookie season look like, and where will it be?

I was wondering if I should do this or the generic one, but I'm tagged so this I shall do!
 
1 - Honestly shocking, and it makes me doubt our chances of success.
2 - Meh. Pretty, pretty meh.
3 - Florida easily has the best chance. I hate all these teams, but as a Sabres fan, it would be nice to see either Mitts with the Avs or KO and Reino with the Cats.
4 - Based on the story arc, Shev is going to work hard and possibly run or be an employee of a hockey camp to send money back to his parents in Austria for their refugee foundation.
5 - A trophy that we let @BOOM design.
6 - Oh gods. There's only one right answer, and it's sweaty work, but almost always worth it.

HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER!
Hello and welcome to this week's Houston Bulls Presser! Playoffs are here and the off-season is upon us. The Bulls had a great S93 and look to refuel for the next season! Please answer each question to your best ability.

Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six questions for 2 capped TPE!
For the Week Ending May 12th, here are your questions!
 
1. That's a wrap! The S93 playoffs end with the Saskatoon Wild winning this season's Founder's Cup. What are your thoughts on Saskatoon's 4-0 series win against Ottawa? How would Houston have done if we had advanced?
2. How did your player do these playoffs? Did they come out of their shell from the regular season? Was it a quiet playoffs for your player?
3. Speaking of playoffs still, the NHL playoffs just finished their first round. Out of the remaining teams (New York R, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Boston, Florida, Edmonton, and Vancouver), which do you think has the best chance of winning the Stanley Cup?
4. The VHL off-season is just around the corner which gives not only your player, but everyone else a nice break of pace. What does your player do in their off-season? My player loves to start boozing around then.
5. I have been golfing so much lately that I decided to host a Houston Bulls Golf Tournament! All friends and family are invited, although I'm stuck on what the trophy will be... What should the winners of our golf tournament get? A trophy? $10 gazillion dollars?
6. I have also been using my bike a lot more lately (mainly because I bring my car to the shop tomorrow). Cardio sucks but I have always enjoyed bike riding. What is your favourite form of cardio if you had to choose one?

Thank you to everyone who participates in these pressers, I read all of your answers!
 
Let's Go Bulls!
 

Dude. This is amazing. Thank you so much!

@der meister

I did for the original Tomb Raider, and I'll be damned if I won't on the newer games!

Shev showed up but way too many penalties.
 
GG Ottawa. 

Knock yourself out!! ❤️

Let's go! Hopefully Shevchenko can show up for 7!

Boo. Bounce back bulls

Never heard back on my other queries. Publishing industry sucks. It doesn't help that the month of April was one of the hardest months for me in six and a half years of my current job. I'm absolutely exhausted from what I have to do and what I have to cover since we've been operating at 50% staffing and they moved me into management at the beginning of the year. 
 
That being said, a few days ago I had a brilliant and silly idea for a 7 Days to Die miniseries. Not sure if any of you here watch my 7 Days content, but either way I am really excited to do this at some point. Honestly, I'm just as excited to have something to look forward to with the way things have been going lately
 

A few quick PROGRAMMING NOTES as we are reaching the end of multiple games simultaneously. So once the current round is wrapped, we're looking at:
 
Sunday - Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
Monday - Magic Arena
Tuesday - 7 Days to Die
Wednesday - Dead Island
Thursday - 7 Days to Die
Friday - Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Saturday - Random Showcase

I wonder how many people will hate me after this

Enjoy and I will never be doing this type of FZ again

Never heard back on my other queries. Publishing industry sucks. It doesn't help that the month of April was one of the hardest months for me in six and a half years of my current job. I'm absolutely exhausted from what I have to do and what I have to cover since we've been operating at 50% staffing and they moved me into management at the beginning of the year. 
 
That being said, a few days ago I had a brilliant and silly idea for a 7 Days to Die miniseries. Not sure if any of you here watch my 7 Days content, but either way I am really excited to do this at some point. Honestly, I'm just as excited to have something to look forward to with the way things have been going lately
