Theme Week - VHL at (in) 15

[jacobcarson877 2,541]

Listen I know the Theme is VHL AT 15 but I think it would be better as VHL IN 15, so I’m going to slam this one out in a stream of consciousness in 15 minutes. Normally I can get it done in about 20-30 so this shouldn’t be too bad so long as my fingers keep working.

 

What do we have now? We’ve been doing a lot of praying to Simon in the Wranglers LR, because obviously he hates us if you look at really any of our sims where Janser doesn’t get a hattrick. We keep losing games we out shoot in, or just suck so badly against teams way below us in the standings.

 

Landon Wolanin has been pretty mediocre, although that’s to be expected. But I did check the player list of players in the VHL and apparently, as of when I looked at least, I’m the 81st highest TPE player in the league which makes me roughly any team’s 5th best player. That’s kind of cool as a rookie and a testament to how little of a life I truly have over the summer. That might change in a month when I’m getting ready for my last year of university, but to be honest I doubt it.

 

San Diego kind of sucks now, which is really to be expected with just an (almost) IA forward and Minion standing on his head. We got shut out twice yesterday, which isn’t really fun but its what I get for going all in on the future. Minion is getting starts and I’m pretty much just rooting for his individual success right now which is fun. Nice to focus on someone else’s player other than mine.

 

Speaking of other players Gustav and I were talking earlier today about Art Vandelay (Art Vandelay) as we regularly do, because what else is there in this world other than Art Vandelay (Art Vandelay). We tried to describe the legend to other people in the LR, because we were talking in an EFL LR, so they hadn’t heard the legend and I had never stopped to think about how silly it is anyways. Art Vandelay (Art Vandelay) has simply become to me what Andrei Vasilevskiy (I just wasted like 2 of my minutes trying to figure out how to spell that) has become for me in the NHL. Like he’s great, like one of the best (probably just the best), but its not necessarily the averages that dictate that (although they are incredible), it’s just the pure game-breaking domination displayed sometimes. Like the amount of games, I watched where Vasilevskiy was just a goalie, was pretty often. But those games where he was an absolute WIZARD, I remember. Art Vandelay (Art Vandelay) is stuck n my mind like that. I sit in a pool of my own terror sweats when I think about playing him, not because of the averages, but the thought of losing 3-1 when we outshot them 72-8. That hasn’t happened yet but every time it doesn’t, I know the next time could be it. And now I have to think about that my entire career.

 

Lets talk about the theme a little more as I begin to run out of time. So, 15 years ago I was but a wee lad. I ALMOST had a grasp on what offside was in hockey which is pretty cool. The Leafs were horrendous as always, and I think I was really only allowed to watch the 1st period on the 7:00 starts since my bedtime was MUCH earlier than it is now. I was probably just playing soccer in the summers, most of my athletics happened in my teens. Hockey really only became a dominant thing in my life in like 2013, soon after that first Leafs Game 7 debacle. Then I joined a bunch of fantasy leagues with my uncle and became obsessed with stats and contracts and all that jazz. Then it was EHM (shoutout to Shindigs for teaching me about EHM on that forum before we even met on here). Now I can barely even focus on either of those because of how much I prefer this (ignore my 2572 hours of EHM on Steam).

 

Oh God out of time Thanks Everyone!
