It's been a while since I've posted on the forums, and now I am forced to come back for that sweet, sweet 14 TPE for the VHL's birthday. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea what to write about, so I'm going to just ramble for 500 words.

 

1. I will not be recreating this upcoming season. Su will be the final and the only player I create for the foreseeable future. The main reason is burnout. In the last 2 seasons, I have been showing less and less interest in the VHL, specifically grinding for 12 capped TPE per week. I know that the VHLE was created for this specific reason, but I'd rather be fully invested in the league rather than half-ass it. Another major reason is that Uni is starting again, and I can't see myself being a major factor in any locker room I am in. Noted I never have been a major talked in the LRs I've been drafted to, but I'd rather have some interaction in the LR rather than none. At the rate I'm going I'd probably go inactive and I feel that would be unfair to whichever team drafts me.
2. Su is looking like he is going to nosedive this season, almost looks like he has the Buffalo Sabres curse on him. I'm going to predict that Su will have less than a point per game this season and end up with 67 points. It also doesn't help his case that Su does nothing else apart from score goals (which he is currently struggling at doing). Seattle's disgustingly stacked forward core is also a major factor. Hopefully, he'll pick it up some.
3. Seattle is doing a lot worse than I expected so far. Despite having one of the most stacked rosters in the league, they've been on a 3 game losing streak and are currently not in the discussion for a playoff spot. It is extremely early in the season, and only time will tell if Seattle's struggles will continue. I will admit a major part of the problem is Su being absolutely terrible this season so far.
4. It is nice to be on a team with some fellow S72 draftees. Some great guys that I admire in Timothy Brown, Jungkok and Valtteri Vaakanainen are all on the team. It's also nice to be reunited with Jungkok and Micah Adrienne who I played with in Vancouver.
5. Changing of the times. It's disorienting when you come back to the league and see a bunch of unrecognizable players in the top spots for stats. Honestly makes me feel like an old man. I guess this is the same feeling people had when Su started to appear on the top leaderboards.

 

And that's it for my rant of 500 words. It'll probably be my last post until theme week and maybe for the rest of my time in the VHL. I've had a great time here and have made a lot of great memories. If I have more time in the future I'll be sure to revisit the VHL.
