Notes of interest! 1. Vest-i-quan is indeed the pronunciation of the name. 2. Grind my gears is indeed Peter Griffin coined. 3. JardyB10 asks a ghey question. 4. I, Claudius is epic Gladiatorial viewing. 5. Goofy Movie fucking rocks. I have the sound track on iTunes, no joke. LBT the first 3 were great! 6. Mike Wilbon blows. 7. And congrats again on the engagement - am I invited to the wedding!? If not too bad, I'm crashing it anyway. 8. How many cups of sugar? If you decide to construct a bridge to the moon entirely out of sugar it only takes 5 cups. However it's a very thin bridge and would not support much weight, 9. Rafter was a BAWSE at Face-offs. I always loved that attribute. 10. Would you come back if I was still there though? If not FUUUUUUU 11. Yea I really want the doubles week back in the store 12. I would get the experience points for the boss-factor. I'd feel like specialsauce. 13. I hear you about the football feelings. Passionate is such an inadequate word to describe the connection between the individual and the sport. I can only hope that England win the World Cup in my lifetime. ("One of the most exciting things that's happened to me" <--- Doesn't sound silly - jesus I would have probably killed myself with joy accidentally). 14. Goetze had a shit World Cup though. Sexy finish when he needed it ahaha. 15. Super Cup is a fantasy cup within a fantasy league. It's like the game "Second Life - if it was Third Life" 16. Well that answers the wedding question. Too bad, still crashing 17. Pro-nun-ciation; not pro-noun-ciation hahah imsuchadickbreath 18. Felt Her Snatch!! 19. Ke-jeld-son 20. I heard the dog! 21. Is it Mike-y or Mik-y? I've always said it as Mik-y 22. Read David's new player! 23. Thanks for the 40 minutes bitch!

Riga is Set for Season 39 With the pre-season almost up and the GM's unconventional 'team building' adventures almost behind them, Riga Reign look forward to Season 39 with a nervous confidence. The team, which has had a very consistent core for a number of seasons now, are still looking for their first Continental Cup. Expectations, especially for the past two seasons, have been high in Riga and the persistent failure to even reach the Finals have the fans and Board of Directors restless. It was actually for that very reason that Mr. Szatkowski decided to have the team go on these outings with their families. He wanted to take the players' minds off the pressure put on the team - and it did work. They have been very relaxed and focused during training camp and pre-season but as the regular season approaches, the atmosphere is tightening up. "Yea, we've had a great off-season and I believe as a team we've strengthened," said veteran Mikey Blade. "We've spent a lot of time working on our special teams and our personal fitness. But I got to tell you, I'm really nervous going into the season. You can feel the tension mounting like a slime-ball on a prostitute - pretty aggressively." The Reign, for the past two seasons have lost out to their accursed rivals, Davos Dynamo, in the European Conference finals. In Season 37 it was a nail-biting seven-game series, with Thomas Landry scoring the game-winning goal just 22 seconds into the third period. Last season, the series only went 5 games but every game was very intense and very close - except the last one. It ended up as a 6-1 trouncing, with 4 goals coming in the second period. Ultimately, it was Riga's lack of discipline that cost them. 5 of the 6 goals came from a Davos powerplay. Davos after the 6th goal of the night. "We have had multiple talks about how we are going to make smarter decision on the ice," said the most recent Boulet winner, Brennan Mcqueen. "We know that it was our undisciplined play that cost us the series, and not Davos' good play. I think this is why the team and the fans are taking the series loss so hard. We can beat these guys and we all know it. We just have to stay out of the penalty box." You're telling me. In the S38 playoffs, Riga took 205 penalty minutes. Considering the fact they only played 10 games, that's over 20PIMs per game. "We are a physical team. We like to go after the puck and bring the game to our opponents," explains General Manager Mike Szatkowski. "Usually in the playoffs, you see more physical play and therefore the refs are generally less inclined to call some of the minor offenses. However, this didn't seem to be the case for us. It got very frustrating how they were calling every little thing but we didn't adjust to that, which ultimately was why we lost. We've had extensive talks during pre-season about this and I feel we are more equipped to be adaptable in these situations. But there's no way we are changing our style of play. It's the most exciting way to play hockey and it's one of the reasons why the fans in Riga are so passionate. They all knew it was within our capabilities to beat Davos. This season is ours for the taking." Taking a look at the teams side-by-side, Riga have a younger team and a deeper team. The average player on Davos is a Season 34 draftee whereas Riga are on average almost 2 seasons younger. Considering the career for a VHL player is that of 8 years, it would be that Riga are 25% younger. Another interesting thing that will work in Riga's favour this season is not just the depth but the amount of practice hours that the teams have put in cumulatively is only 200 more in the case of Davos.* Is this Riga's year? This rivalry has been well documented in the past and it is shaping up to be another back-and-forth battle for the European Conference once again this season. The regular season is set to begin tomorrow evening.

Unfortunately, the up-and-almost-here-but-not-quite elite defenseman of the Riga Reign, Phil Villeneuve, may have suffered a tremendous blow to his aspirations as an elite VHL defenseman. He was seen walking into the VHL Player Store and dropping $4.5 Million on Triple predictions points. Now, for a player who's making $3 Million a season, that is probably not the wisest investment and his financial advice should definitely need to questions his choice in profession. This all came about yesterday after the Open, one of the Golf Majors Tournaments, which concluded in Britain yesterday. Rory McInroy one, becoming the youngest British golfer to ever win it. He joins only 11 people to ever have one 3 of the 4 majors. Rory finished -17 for the tournament But that's not what stems this splurg. One decade ago, when Rory was just 15 years old, his dad put a bet down for him to with the Open before he finished his 25th year of life. So not only does Rory walk away with a nice chunk of money... so does his dad - $350,000 to be exact. Thus Villeneuve has succumb to the idiosyncrasies of gambling. The face of a wash-up? Hopefully it will pay off for him less he becomes a useless wash-up of a VHL player.

How many Cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon? Thoughts on this season. How's it going to pan out? A dominant team in the North? In Europe? Is Odin Tordahl going to sweep the leading scorer? What are your thoughts on the new Player Store? Why is there not even a doubles week? I am cheesed about that but otherwise I want your thoughts! Explain your feelings when Germany won the World Cup. Talk about the Super Cup
