Around the League in 500 words....

[Scurvy 1,548]

Ok the off-season is upon us and it gets harder and harder to do point tasks sometimes as a result. We have had a lot of stuff happen last week , a new VHL champ, World Cup, and Pro AM are starting so here we go with another Around the League in 500 words.  

 

Vancouver vs Prague

The VHL finals came down to the wire and we saw two amazing teams battle it out in 7 games.  Game 7 was very exciting and saw the Wolves needing OT to gain the win over a very underrated Prague club.  Congrats to Pierrre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito for snapping home the OT winner, on the power play no less.  Bouchard was first star with two goals and obviously a huge shout out to the two goalies, Brandt Fuhr and Clueless Wallob for such an amazing series.  

 

Congrats to the Wolves for a great season.

 

MARLINS TAKE VHLM TiTLE

I was happy to see the San Diego Marlins take home the Cup last week as that was my first team when I joined the VHL.  I was happy to see Oreo McFleury @JB123 have an amazing season/playoffs as well.  He lit the lamp with 11 goals 14 assists 25 points.   I anticipate he will be a pretty high draft pick this off season and hope Warsaw is lucky enough to get him.  

 

Congrats Marlins!  @jacobcarson877

 

WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY

I make it no secret that I abhor the off-season.  I know it has to happen, but it always seems I am not ready for it, it takes so long, and point tasks become harder and harder.  That being said, this off season I am super excited about the World Cup.  As I scrolled through the teams on the forum it amazes me just how many talented players there are that get left out.  It’s a good problem to have in a league and shows how many people work so hard to make their players better.  

 

Team USA has medaled in 4 of the last 8 World Cups and plan to bring back their 5^th.  They are stacked with team defense, plenty of grit, amazing goalies, and some up-front beasts at forward.  The other teams are stacked as well so I am eager to see this tourney start up. 

 

BANKED TPE STRUGGLES

 

Well, this is more of a question and a rant.  I am going into 5^th VHL season and have begun banking TPE in preparation of my depreciation in a couple seasons.  I have not done the math yet but have been encouraged by those smarter than me to start the process of banking to cover my losses TPE starting next off-season (S88).  I currently have 103 in banked TPE (109 after this media spot) and it soooooo hard not to put the points in.  I try to max every week, will purchase fighters, and donate for that bump in player store cash so I am fighting hard to remain good in my final season.  At the end of day depreciation make your career interesting and forces some effort to remain solid in those final seasons.  

 

Well, that wraps it up for this week.  Congrats to the Wolves again for a great season, may you loses every game to Warsaw next year though !!   LOL
