Did I leave in S52 or S42?

[Victor 11,043]

I got into a discussion with @Tagger in my press conference yesterday: https://vhlforum.com/topic/48150-pod-cast-press-conference-pcpc/ (please ask questions I like answering them thank you)

 

and I realised that there is a bit of a dark hole in my memory where Greg Clegane's career should have been. Granted, I remember quite vividly Clegane's specific successes and championships and I don't think I missed out on what was actually an absolute dream of a ride for a goaltender, but given there were at least 3 seasons in his career that I wasn't really massively active (S46, S50, S52), it's all a bit choppy and a bit blurry. This also spreads to the VHL in general during the 40s, with a few examples below:

 

1. I think some older players were more recent than they are

Specifically I realised this when talking to Tagger as I thought Edwin Reencarnacion was on the NYA team around when I left but in reality he had moved onto Edwin Reencarnacion by then. I have a similar problem with Higgins' players - I always default to James Faraday being a recent player and seem to forget entirely about Black Velvet. More damningly...

 

2. I get confused with Frank and Brovy's Quebec players

Both Matt Bentley (S35-S42) and Clegane (S45-S52) spent a brief time on Quebec and I get the 2 times very much mixed up. I am still fairly certain that Clegane's time in Quebec was with Aksel Thomassen and Bruno Wolf scoring at will, but in reality it was with Tom Lincoln and John Sleeman... not really scoring at will either. It doesn't help it was the exact same 2 members either.

 

3. I forget that I played for Helsinki

Greg Clegane's both cups were won with the Titans but when I was recently recording a podcast about teams I'd like to get drafted to, I almost accidentally put Helsinki higher than I intended to because I briefly thought that I had never played for it. I suspect the reason for this is because when I was fully active, with Bentley and earlier with Chershenko, I was close to getting traded to the Titans and ended up on Quebec and NY instead. As those memories are fresher, I therefore continue assuming that I never quite made it to Finland.

 

So that's that, I'm hoping they get a cure for Alzheimer's soon.

Easily my favourite player, only one I could guarantee would elevate the attacking play of any team.

 

Exactly for that reason is besf EFT untarnished.

Clegane played for Toronto when we were trying to 4peat with Parechkin and Molholt as well.
