Claimed: Why the S55 was trash.

*S55*

 

I'm glad this season is over. The only bad thing is I don't like how this season ended, but I'll talk about it later. I really don't liked the S55 - this is not how VHL supposed to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. Ok, the celebration things for TPE were nice and all this helped the league as some new members didn't leave immediately after creating their player and the some old members also came back. I'm hoping the next season is going to be more entertaining as we got new commish in @Smarch and we will see the updated version of forum. I hope there won't be that ''clubs'' section as this is too inconvenient and I'm too lazy to make a one more click to see an LR. But let's go back to S55 and name reason why it was trash:

 

 

*Low activity. It all started in S55 off-season with an average FA class when only Maxwell was a world class player there. But she stayed in NY and that killed all excitement about the S55 FA. We also had a meh trade period when only a conflcit between @punkhippie, @Kendrick and @BobertZ had a potential to shake things, but it ended with a trade that very few cared about. Yes, we had a good draft, but it didn't save that off-season from failure. And it continued in S55 when activity continued to fade away. Summertime sadness, summer bummer, or whatever you want to call it - this was just sad. And the trade deadline period was the final blow to this season: 0 trades! That's just ridiculous.

 

*VHLM. The things started to heat up after Quill's call-up. There were some discussions happening after that and something was telling us this league became too boring and we need to cut it. These talks didn't last long, but this wasn't the best period the VHLM league ever had. Probably we still need to change system there, but that's up to BoG and commishes.

 

*Helsinki won again. Let's face it, all this two-peat and three-peat stuff is becoming boring. I could get behind Toronto's triple - it's the first and only of it's kind. But then we have NY getting their double to make it three cups in 7 seasons and Helsinki making the second two-peat in 10 seasons. Parity? I don't know that word, we have three teams ruling the VHL now with only Riga being on their way with the S51 win and even there they only barely beat Toronto in finals to prevent a potential four-peat. This season? I wanted to Quebec or Stockholm to take the cup, because it's so exciting to see new ''faces'' being successful, but what we have now? Helsinki won once again and it was a meh result. No excitement, only the whole Helsinki squad and some their fans were happy about that, but it still was boring as fuck.

 

The S55 was a garbage season and it's time to forget it. Let's make the S56 more fun and let's have a new champion even if this isn't going to be Riga.

 

 

That's it and I'm out.
