Thoughts on Recent Retirees - S73 Edition

[Victor 11,043]

Thoughts on some recent retirements until I hit a respectable word count.

 

Codrick Past @Kylrad – Named after one of the finest players to ever grace the VHL with a success:TPE ratio suitable for picking such a blessed name.

 

Acyd Burn @Acydburn – One of a generation of unlucky players finally having the career season he deserves. Wish I could have rescued his career in Moscow – maybe next time.

 

Jet Jaguar @gorlab – God among men. The VHL was never worthy of his presence and his departure puts us back down to the level of lesser sim leagues.

 

Jerry Garcia @GustavMattias – See Acyd Burn above. Except the Moscow bit. Fuck this guy.

 

Virgil Ligriv @MMFLEX – Carved out a career in the new backup-becomes-starter niche developing in the ever-expanding VHL. Respect the hustle.

 

Ben Hafkey @McLovin – One of the two steals of S66 alongside the legendary Dean Clarke. Lowkey but solid, accurate reflection of the lowkey but solid Helsinki team he's best known for.

 

Mikko Aaltonen @GRZ – Impressively consistent, D.C.'s version of Dan Baillie. Also reminds me of Dan Wilinsky, genuinely not far from cracking the HOF ballot.

 

Charlie Paddywagon @DMaximus – None of your assholes commented on his retirement thread? Unbelievable. Underrated all the way to the end. Calgary definitely misses his steady presence this season.

 

Charles Drumm @frescoelmo – Exceptionally beautiful specimen. Deserved so much more.

The true meaning of the Gustav effect.

Eh you clearly haven't looked at the index lately. Seasons pretty much the same as always.... That's why I retired a season early.

I just looked at your portal player page where it's your career high. Agreed relative to this season still not the one.
