I was supposed to talk about the VHFL, but the sheet is broken again. So I'll just talk about Vegas, I guess?

Actually I'll still talk about the VHFL a bit, the draft was painful this season. I thought the group I was managing last season was giving me a reasonable baseline for the amount of effort that was required to be Group Manager, I was wrong. I think I ended up spending more time on that for 1 TPE than I did on the HOF article for 5 TPE. So #notworth from just a work-to-TPE ratio. But I'm kind of lowkey going for the 2k TPE record with Bo, so I'm not going to leave any TPE on the table either. Not because I really care about records, just cause it's a fun challenge for myself. I do love those.

 

Las Vegas Aces Season Start

We're off to quite the start, I knew we had a very solid roster. With our only glaring weakness being the lack of that 4th Dman. But with @JigglyGumballs recreating at the absolute perfect time, that was all taken care of. Sometimes you're just lucky, I guess? So pleased to have him back where he belongs in Vegas, and he's off to a raging start as he will pick up the "High Roller" award for this week as the team's top TPE earner.

 

Now as much as our 9-0-1 start is impressive, and how happy I am about the performances of all our lovely players. We have had an absolutely insane schedule so far. I feel like apart from a couple games we've just been playing Mexico, Houston and SSK. All in deep rebuilds, and two of them running bot goalies. So really those are games we *should* be winning. I've used the schedule being what it is to get our backup a solid number of starts early, so that's nice.

 

Once we go into a more competitive part of the schedule our numbers will no doubt drop, which obviously isn't something I look forward to. But it's also going to test us as a team and let us show what we're actually made of. That I am looking forward to. As I do feel like we have 2 incredibly strong lines, both easily good enough to be the 1st line on just about any team. While also having a third line that's anchored by FO specialist William Futch @Futch. Who has consistently been Top 3 in FO% despite only being a week into his VHL experience. On his wings Hugh G Johnson @EMoney002and a double shifted Rustyov Dusterov @LanerDUST have been putting up points to make it so no matter who we have on the ice, we still can make the opposition pay.

 

On the theme of making the opposition pay, we have really been throwing our bodies around out there. Blake MacTavish @Blakemac22 has emerged as one of the top Power Forwards in the league this season, with top hits and scary offensive production, as well as Top 10 FO%. VHLE GMs should take notice, as he will be hitting VHLE FA next season. Right behind him is bruising defenseman Jimmy MacElroy @Xflexz with 37 hits to Blake's league leading 39. Which means that no matter what, if you're playing Vegas it's going to hurt.
