Evans 305 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Riga! Riga! Reign! We fucking did it. Fresh off having the #1 pick in the draft, we have already won a playoff series in the first season of our rebuild (that includes me). To many people this may not be a big deal, but I can tell you that as a member of this roster I didn't even really expect this to happen. When I was talking to @Toast pre-draft, I assumed that I was going to a team with nothing going for it. The roster was pretty bare and it looked like we were going to have to go through a long term rebuild before we even sniffed the playoffs. GMotY Toast didn't waste any time and decided to make some moves to fill the roster out and see what we could do. The biggest deal we made was easily the one that brought us @Green. Toast brought the deal to my attention prior to making it and asked my opinion of it. I know in the SBA Green had fallen off activity wise and I thought it was going to be a similar situation in the VHL. Despite this, I loved the idea of being able to play with him when we were both in the same draft class. We teaming up quite a few seasons ago in the SBA and we formed a pretty deadly combination. Despite winning championships, our players were quite a few seasons apart. Getting us both on the same team this early into our careers? Something fucking magnificent is going to happen. I know people are going to say we played in a weak conference and yadda yadda yadda, but eat shit. This team was barren when I joined and now we're looking at potentially making the championship. You can't tell me shit right now. Cologne might be a challenge for us, but I believe we played them very well in the regular season (much better than we played Davos in the regular season). This team is just getting started. A good young player comes with a good contract. We have like three or four of them. This means we can continue to add players in their prime to this group and it's not going to give us any cap issues. We want it all. Give us all the cups or we are going to take them. Future free agents take note. This team is young and already being successful. The conference we play in is the weaker of the two and we are already putting wins on the board despite being a team that has yet to hit it's stride. Sign here and let's fuck the league up. Riga has been down for too long and it's time that a dynasty is made. Hop on the hype train now because it looks like Reign. Pussies.

Toast 887 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 The league letting you and Green on to the same team from the get go is a mistake. Let's make em' pay NotAVHLM-GM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evrydayimbyfuglien 600 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Review: Looked kinda short, threw it in wordcounter.net and lo and behold it's 470 words. That aside, nice article. Congrats on making the post season and advancing. Should be a good series between you and Cologne (I think that's who you play now) Like you said, team didn't have much going for it entering the season so you've definitely turned it around.
