Kirby Rambles: Rambling. . . Again?

[kirbithan 1,705]

 

Hello, wonderful folks of the VHL, and welcome to another edition of Kirby Rambles! Let me just start off with the fact that I have just finished up my midterm week, and since I’m still sort of recovering from the mental strain, I’m just allowing the stream of consciousness to take over for this week once again. Let me just say that group projects in college certainly aren’t for the weak. I’ve also been up sporadically since 2:30 in the morning for the sake of sports and after F1 qualifying, the actual race, and a NFL game, there’s a MLS playoff match I’m looking forward to tonight! 

 

Additionally, I want to start getting into the graphic-making mindset again this upcoming week since I have a few lovely folks in my portfolio queue that I hope to get sigs to soon and not have them wait for too long. My locker room presence also hasn’t been too great, which I’m not proud of, but I’m hoping to continue to be a voice in both the Davos and Ottawa locker rooms now that this period of midterms is over.

 

Alright, let’s quickly recap my player’s stats again! Up until a 4 game losing slump for the Ottawa Lynx, River Harrington had a 9 game scoring streak which I hope to pick back up again now that the Lynx had won their last two yesterday. In 36 games played, Harrington is at a league leading 52 points with 18 goals and 34 assists with Brandon Petan Jr. and Philadelphia’s Einar Mathiesen at 50 points each. 52 points is definitely something to be proud of and I hope Harrington continues at this pace to potentially break that 100 point mark, though I know it’ll take an insane rest of the season to accomplish. But you never know.

As a team, Ottawa is currently still sitting at the top of the VHLM with a 25-8-3 record after that weird losing slump, with Philadelphia trailing behind just barely, with a 24-10-4 record. Only 3 points separate the two teams and it should be a fierce battle for top of the league after Ottawa’s explosive first 20 games. I have high hopes for today’s sims and if they go sour for us, I fear I have nobody to blame but Simon considering the incredible group of players we have, though the other teams are working their tails off to bridge the gap, and I gotta respect that.

 

Over in the VHL, where I AGM for my beloved HC Davos Dynamo, they sit 4th in the European Conference with 49 points, but the battle for 2nd-4th is close, with only 2 points separating David from the 2nd place Malmo Nighthawks. Meanwhile, the Moscow Menace, the team who selected Harrington 2nd overall this past entry draft, are sitting pretty with 65 points and an incredible 31-2-3 record. 

 

To end off this Kirby Rambles, I want to quickly discuss VHFL and Super Coach— more so VHFL, because I am doing horrendous in Super Coach. In VHFL, I’m not only leading my group but I’m the first person out of everybody who signed up this season to pass that 800 point threshold. This is the first season I haven’t had a back-to-back pick and while I’d say my luck is better with those, picking 2nd this season wasn’t too shabby for me. Usually, I’m more prepared for VHFL drafts, but with this season being kind of weird, I just went with my gut feeling and it’s seemingly worked out! We love to see it. 

 

This concludes this week’s Rambles, and it’s crazy how many words your stream of consciousness can spew out on a Sunday afternoon. Thank you to those who read all the way to the end and I’ll see you all in the next edition!
