Game Discussion

 

The Season 39 VHL All-Star game saw a tight battle that saw the North American Conference come away with a 7-6 overtime victory off a Wesley Kellinger goal just 40 seconds into the extra frame.

 

Three Stars

3. Odin Tordahl 1 G, 3 A, +1

2. Wesley Kellinger 2 G, 2 A, +1

1. Willem Janssen 4 G, 2 A, +2

 

With Season 40 kicking off, the Americans have been asserting their dominance as they look to repeat as Continental Cup Champions.  Through six games, they are undefeated at 6-0, including two big wins over HC Dynamo, last season's runners up.  Bennett Wahl's four points led the Americans past Davos in the first game while Brick Wahl pitched a shutout in the rematch.

 

Although we are early this season, the Vasteras Iron Eagles have been very impressive.  They're lead by Niklas Lindberg's league-leading 15 points and Eggly Bagelface's three shutouts, which are exactly half of the shutouts the league has seen to this point.  The Iron Eagles currently sit at first place in the European Conference 

 

TPE Earning

 

Be sure to keep your eyes on the VHL Fantasy Zone, where you can earn uncapped points for correctly predicting the winners and score of selected games.  Currently open are the Season 40 Week 1 Predict the Score and Pickem point tasks!  Also, make sure to join the VHL Fantasy Hockey League for even more points!

 

Media & Graphics

 

One cool media spot from this past week was this one by Higgins.  It discusses the possibility of expansion in the VHL and potential destinations for a new franchise!

 

Another article you should make sure to check out is Victor's 40 in 40 article discussing some of the VHL's history and some of the best goaltenders to play in the league.

 

We also have an article written by RomanesEuntDomus highlighting some of the worst trades in Vasteras' recent history.  Definitely worth checking out for just a bit more information on why, if any team ends up relocating, it will likely be the Iron Eagles.

 

Moving on to graphics, here is a beautiful signature created for Jody 3 Moons by the one and only Mr. Baller.

 

Also, take a look at Motzaburger's Lukas Nykvist graphic.  It's simple but sexy and I definitely think he should make one for my player  ;)

Overall, it's been a great first week back into the swing of things!  Looking forward to next week, where we will be introducing a player spotlight section - reply here if you're interested in being featured!

 

Also, if anyone would like to create a graphic for VHL This Week, that would be amazing and I'll love you forever!
