Condolences. That sort of thing is never easy 

Don't even waste your time; just give Houston the Championship right now and save everyone the heartache.

Vegas already is booty tho

Don't even waste your time; just give Houston the Championship right now and save everyone the heartache.

Don't even waste your time; just give Houston the Championship right now and save everyone the heartache.

Playoff Index
 
@VHLM GMHere is your index for the playoffs, we will be starting these tomorrow so please get your lines and such ready in the meantime. The schedule will be the same as always. Games 1 and 2 simmed day 1; 3 and 4 simmed day 2, and any subsequently required games simmed 1 per day. Also as per the rules adding any new players is unfortunately now closed, this is a physical limitation of STHS. However anyone new up until right now have been added to your rosters so you can put them in your lines.
 
Live sims will be in the same place as I usually link when I sim.
 
I will update discord each day when I'm going live. Hope you all had a great regular season and looking forward to some playoff action.

1 - keep it going full steam. We absolutely can, but it doesn't matter if we don't win in the postseason 
2 - I think so. It's hard to fully answer since I joined late.
3 - I've had very little individual success - such is the nature of late season creation - but it's nice to see the team win.
4 - dunno. That one guy.
5 - nope. And nope. Any team that's in the playoffs is a team I hate. But if someone has to win, I'm pulling for Winnipeg.
6 - negative. And I barely watch the NHL. I think getting in bed with sports betting has ruined the product.

Last week I ended this .com miniseries talking about Christoph Klose, the player who always fell just a hair behind Lord Karnage when it comes to individual recognition.
 
Next was Essian Ravenwing, the Welsh centerman. Similar to Casey Jones, who I will get to next, chemistry was hit and miss, but by the end of his career he got himself a Championship and had multiple 100+ point seasons, so not much to complain about there. My only regret is not having the time to fully flesh out his story, which I thought started super strong, with him being the descendent of the actual Prince of Wales.
 
Chemistry seemed to always be an issue with Casey Jones, where I roleplayed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character. He started his VHL career really strong, winning top defenseman and top rookie after a 100 point season, if I recall correctly, but kind of petered out after that.  
 
From there I went to The Terrible Trivium, who was the first ever selection by the London United, which is something I'm proud of. Triv was a roleplay of the Demon from "The Phantom Tollbooth", an excellent children's book full of tremendous puns. Unfortunately being on an expansion team limited his success, but he spent his whole career there and I'm glad he did.
 
Finally was Ryuji Sakamoto, a roleplay of the Persona 5 character. I intended him to be a physical fighter, a hothead with a bad attitude, but I also wanted him to be a useful defensive player. The jury's out on how that ended up.
 
As I wrap this up, it occurs to me that Ravenwing is the only "VHL Original" character I've done before Shevchenko. I hope Shev can live up to that standard, and maybe even achieve top billing.

I knew the user by the player name 🤣
 
Good luck with the new player, aimkin.

Unfortunately no, lol. I work for a private contractor tree company in Connecticut. Though that is a bit odd, we usually call trees against lines and such our problem not the customers. Sounds like your power company and town don't get along!

1. The time has come, trade deadline is here and players can recreate for the S95 draft. With that being said, a new Right Winger joins Houston! Konstyantyn Shevchenko @der meister comes from Ukraine and is looking to add to our playoff push! How is Houston looking now heading towards playoffs? We currently are tied with Saskatoon for 1st in the Western Conference.
 
Houston looks to be in great form, and the addition of a quality player like Shevchenko can only solidify Houstons chances of glory.
 
2. Hulk Smash @Cuffy  just recently got engaged! Congrats brother! Of course we will all be invited to the wedding, what wedding gift are you bringing? As GM I am bringing season tickets for everyone that was invited.
 
Poor bastard. It's all downhill from here. I'll buy a set of premium noise-cancelling headphones. They'll come in handy at some point.
 
3. Houston is cruising now! Less than 20 games to play and we still are fighting for 1st in the West. Playoff format follows as 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, and 4v5 by league overall. If playoffs started today, as 4th seed we would play 5th seed Las Vegas Aces. Is Vegas a team you do or do not want to face in the first round? Are there other teams you would prefer to play?
 
Well as an alumni, I always think that the opposition should be afraid. Very afraid.
 
4. I'm always itching for summer as it is my favourite season of the year and I don't have school to worry about. What are you most excited for this summer? I'm heading home to work on the water again and I am very excited for that.
 
Well we are into Autumn down here, so I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures and watching more Rugby.
 
5. Houston is a southern state known for Space Exploration apparently (google searched it, might need @LucyXpher to confirm). If you could travel through space where would you go? I'm heading out of the milky way to find aliens in other galaxies.
 
I'm headed towards the planet/galaxy that contains the sexy space version of the Amazons.
 
6. How has your week been? Anything exciting or fun happening lately? What do you have planned for this week?
 
My week has been pretty quiet, but knocking out sim league PT's and working towards the weekend.
