Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Whether it's your funniest, happiest, or most surprising moment, what's your favorite memory from the VHL? I know this is going to sound kind of cheesy, but I was so excited when I won the Founder's Cup in S35 as both a player and a GM. My first player wasn't the best and never really found too much team success (while I was active at least), so being able to actually win an individual and team trophy (even if it was "just" the VHLM) meant a lot to me. I can still remember sitting at my desk at my internship two summers ago and attempting to plan my roster for 2 seasons in advance. When it all worked out in the end, it just felt great to know all of that planning and keeping people active paid off in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler 1,514 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Probably when I won the cup with Davos in Season 36 (?) just because of how awesome the team was and great it was to be apart of such a great team that was put together by Victor. Other then that probably has got be becoming the GM of the Meute. Da Trifecta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 5,017 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Don't have one winner but here was an awesome one: The Legion skyped me to convince me to sign as a FA there... literally 7 people on that call begging me to sign. I loved that ego boost. I miss a lot of those guys stevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,549 Posted April 9, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 9, 2015 In the sim, without doubt Season 18 Calgary. Such a fun team despite our goalie trying to retire on us and the actual Game 6 I opened certain that we lost and it would be Game 7, but there it was, a 3-2 OT win and the cup. Did it for Zero and the avatars. All the cups were great in different ways. Probably the least memorable were S21 Toronto and this NY team but only because the moment itself wasn't a major victory, as we were favourites. The LRs though made for some excellent whole seasons. On site there's been some great shit. Jardy's llama story and various other rants. Slobo's racist drunk podcast. RJ Stafford's online adventure. Joe Nash for MVP. And probably a shit ton I have missed. JardyB10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advantage 2,770 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Winning both times with the current group here is pretty great. S30 was pretty great for me too. Continental Cup and Gold Medal with Sullivan along with Founder's Cup as a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagger 2,722 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Punching Tom Slaughter repeatedly in the face. GMing a Super Cup winning team. Breaking all-time record for hits by a defenseman. Those are my top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STZ 5,286 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 1. S34 Cup win. 2. Getting drafted off the board by the mad genius himself. #1 was prob the most gratifying, but #2 was where I was most excited/surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioner Beketov 8,646 Posted April 9, 2015 Commissioner Share Posted April 9, 2015 1. S12 Cup with the Bears - I've won the cup a few times but that one always stuck with me as the biggest one. 2. Beketov's HoF induction - Getting in first ballot with my second player, especially after what happened with my first, was amazing. 3. Getting an award in my name - Sounds cheesy but I feel that means something a bit more than just the HoF. Not a lot of players have an award in their name. 4. First ever VHL player drafted - Yeah the rest of the career went to shit and I was probably the worst pick ever but it still feels damn nice to be able to say I was the first player ever drafted in the VHL. I'm sure there are more moments but those are the big ones. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar 283 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Being a part of the three-way podcast and any time I forced the VHLM to make a rule change because of something I did the prior season (I think there were three, maybe four) EDIT: That time I made Green think I was retiring his number was pretty good too Edited April 9, 2015 by edgar NotAVHLM-GM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan036 4,583 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have 2: 1) S37 and 38 with Yukon was a ton of fun. I got to win cups with awesome people as Munk was revived, Draper was around before he was cool, and Higglypuffins along with the many others. (Lol Seth) 2) Finally winning the cup with Riga. Great core, and we deserved it after so many failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I haven't been here for too long, but it has to be the S40 reverse sweep of the Quebec City Meute when I was on the Calgary Wranglers. Not technically a sweep, but Calgary went up 1-0, then down 3-1....only to come back and win the series 4-3. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
