Jake Thunder of Davos is having a really strong season offensively, and is still hitting and blocking shots at a good pace so far as well. He's definitely in the running for the Labatte. 2. This is a tough one, as there isn't really a clear standout that excels at everything. CGY Janser is killing it with hits and blocked shots, but isn't a top ten in points. Leif Reingaard leads all defensemen in points, but doesn't have a lot of hits and just cracks the top ten in shots blocked. Tyler Swift is probably the most balanced of the candidates so far. 3. Petit Hughie has been showing out in points, hits, and shots blocked, and looks to be the front-runner in my opinion so far. 1. We're already about halfway through the season, what's the biggest surprise so far? 2. What's a topping that needs to be banned from pizzas? 3. If a zoo would inexplicably allow you to take one of their animals home with you, which one would you pick? 1. The top seeded teams have been a surprise so far for each conference I’d say. 2. Definitely anchovies. 3. I’d have to go with a lion. 1. How have you felt about your players performance so far this season? 2. What is your favorite winter activity? 3.

Probably skating or playing hockey in an outdoor rink! We have an outdoor rink that is about a 10 minute walk away for me so I usually go there and enjoy some afternoons and evenings on the ice. 3. To relax? I'd have to go with an iced tea. It's just very calming for me I find. Though I'd say a matcha latte would be a close second, iced tea is less expensive and to me a bit more worth it. 1.

I've had a few. I used to wear 61 because I'm a huge Rick Nash fan, but I switched to 88 a while ago. I'm a big Nylander fan, and it's my birth year. 2. I think that the best pairing would be Malmo and Stockholm from a geographic standpoint so that it would simplify call ups for Malmo. 3.

I guess Slap Shot from back in the day? Or maybe Dodgeball if that counts 2) I bought a couple of courses online. One for .NET coding and the other for Flutter. 3) I do not, I just don't like the writing part of these types of leagues so I generally miss the theme weeks.

Not saying they'll win the cup at all but I think they could steal a wildcard spot maybe. 2) No I'm never ready for snow. 3) I don't think it would, the writing tasks are the content that bring people back on the forum and makes it feel alive.

The GOAT @Masu Chan robbed of their team too soon 3. Some of the ideas I liked were more focused on user retention, keeping LRs more active and altering point tasks, not to get into it too much here but some LRs are a lot more quiet than others...

Starting watching Gen V, great show! Also have been watching the squid games reality show, decent show as well 3. Who do you think is an underrated player in the NHL this season? Not too sure as I only really follow my team (Leafs) but for them would have to be Jarnkrok or Knies 3 questions: 1) If money was no object, what would be your most ideal gift for the holidays? 2) VHL season is coming to a close and as of today 4 players are tied with the goal scoring lead with 44, which one do you think will finish on top? (Wolanin, Mancini, molly the cat, Goncalves) 3) If you had the ability to change one thing about the country you live in, what would it be?

(doesn't matter if its retro or whatever) 3. If you can get drafted by any NHL team, which team would you want it to be? Answers: 1. Good question. I actually asked in my VHLM locker room if I could bypass the VHLE draft. I don’t want another useless year in the E, and it’s something I would ask my future VHL GM if I could join the VHL in my draft season. 2. California Golden Seals. 3. Any of the original six teams, even if I don’t necessarily like them. Questions: 1. if you are draft eligible, what team would you like to call you name on draft day? (VHLM, VHLE or VHL). If you are not draft eligible, what team would you like to play for before your career ends? 2. What would you implement if you were commissioner for a day? 3.

What charity auction item are you most excited for, based on the ones in the call for charity auction items? 1. I'm not draft eligible, but I'm currently playing for the Toronto Legion. I hope to remain a Toronto player for my entire career! 2. I'd add more point tasks that are similar to the trivia that encourage league researching to continue to learn about the VHL. I'd also have a league wide thread for daily puzzles like Wordle, Gordle, Puckdoku, etc. Maybe even a competition for team players to compete against other teams. 3. Definitely the pizza. A good pizza is a difficult to top in any setting, especially one that comes from a charity drive. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Do you think that Alex Ovechkin's slow goal scoring start this season is a concern that he may not make it to Gretzky's total? 2. What do your next 3 seasons in the VHL (E or M as well) look like? Are you locked into one team, or will you be a free agent before the 3 years are up? 3. If you could add 1 attribute to the player set on here, what would it be and why?

However, only have five goals to this point is a bit concerning. 2) Well, I'm going to be going into the VHL/VHLE draft. I'll be in the VHLE, then I'll be heading to the VHL two seasons after that. 3) I don't know what I'd add, but I'd make fighting or grit actually worth it.

Toronto without a doubt, and I am not saying that because my player plays for Toronto lol. 2. I would say Arizona is the team that's suprising me the most. Indeed, they are currently in a playoff position. 3. Tough to answer that, but where I am from, there is a company named Vachon that does little cake and my favorite is probably the caramilk.

Giveaway and takeaway tracking in a version of the sim that apparently isn't broken. 2. Not really lore, but just a historical fact. In the eight season from S26 to S33, each of the original eight teams won a championship. 3. I don't really see any reason to make that change. Is that something people are clamoring for? I'd rather see more seasons in a players career before season longer seasons, if we are going to give people more career games played. 1. Do you think success in the VHLM or VHLE adds in any way to the overall success of a player's career? 2. What type of career would you rather have: A) win three championships as an average player, winning no individual awards and not making it into the Hall of Fame; or B) two-time MVP, winning other assorted awards and a first ballot Hall of Fame induction but no Continental Cups 3.
