When I first joined SHL I created because of my buddy @ErM and didn’t think I’d get as addicted as I did. I don’t really know jack shit about hockey back then and that has never really changed. I love the people that I’ve come close with and it’s been quite a wild ride.

To go off of that though, I am certain for at least awhile I will not recreate once Vladmir Petrov Retires. As a lot of others have stated in this thread, I feel like I’ve been pouring so much time into this player to see very little return. The SHL has become more of a chore then pleasure and I just don’t really enjoy myself and hockey. A big reason why I keep updating and all that jazz is because I don’t want to let down the homies on Tampa Bay.

I just feel like at this point I’m banging my head against the wall and nothing is really going the way I had envisioned it. That’s not against the league or anything, I think that’s more just how I excepted Vlad to go to how he actually is going.

I don’t really know how much my opinion matters on said subject, as I don’t really do much on the forums. I just do my PTs, and all that jazz and post dad jokes on the Tampa Bay Twitter, and that’s about it anymore. Also to reiterate what other people have stated in here as well, I’ve noticed as of late it feels, the community has gotten more and more toxic whenever something happens. I feel like that can be really draining for someone who doesn’t really come to the forums but do to his weekly stuff.

I also wouldn’t really put all the blame on Hamilton, as some have done already. I will say that when you see the same few teams at the top over and over again, it could be a bit disheartening, especially as I feel like when you’re stuck with one player for so long, and you just realize they have not amounted to anything, why keep pushing?

I don’t have any answers either for this issues or situations. I haven’t really tried to think of any and doubt I will. I would just more so say that these are just my frustrations and I get where other people are feeling the same way. I do not think that it is over dramatic or what have you, it’s just a hard situation to fix

I feel like I’ve rambled on a lot here, and that’s my bad. Work thoughts at 530 am can get you like that. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
