I genuinely thought McAllister and Stopko were about to run away with an insane trophy cabinet to end their careers. Obviously early days in the season, but it probably says something about the small difference in talent beyond 500 TPE. @Tagger and I brought it up in discord yesterday and I'm almost tempted to do the best ever first 2 seasons of a career. Maybe if this pace keeps up I'll be motivated to do it. Brace yourself for my post in this season's HOF discussion. this is almost certainly true, but it's also rare for a shit team to lead to consistently high point totals. It's currently some combination of STHS trying to figure out what to do with a very top-heavy roster in Riga and goalie dearth across the league. It's timing and luck, but then I'd argue every HOFer has benefited from that in some way or another. Indeed, given most HOFers fall between 900 and 800 TPE, how good we view a career might very well be defined by an extra 50 points in rookie and sophomore seasons. I'd like to hope that isn't likely haha. And I mean it depends on what the lows would be obviously. Is 100-160-140-80-80-80-80-80 a HOF career? Probably not. But replace those 80s with 90s and 100s and probably yes. Of course, there's also generational comparison. If 130 is common for a few seasons, then 160 is a whole lot less impressive. TBH I'm not really saying anything of substance here. Primarily because I can't bring myself to seriously consider the prospect of this being the peak of my career. It would be if the hypothetical situations you mention ever came to pass. But as long as they don't it's not hugely difficult to separate HOF from not HOF. I think most debate is in what order people get inducted rather than if they ever will.

This is the commitment we like to see!

This is actually really well researched. The FA moves and everything, well done. @Will getting spoiled here and I haven't even dropped my builder article for him yet.

you're a shitbasket

Permaban if he does tbh.

@Gooningitup demand a trade

Of course we lose this one lol.

You better pray we don't make the playoffs.

I was under the impression that the 'free week' you get is basically the Media Spot. In fact I'm not sure why it's worded like that but I see it as: Media Spot (advertised as free week for some reason) - 6 capped Bonus TPE - 8 or 5 uncapped @Beketov

Great write-up, thanks. Glad you focused quite a bit on his playoff performances as he was one of the greatest playoff performers ever. Most career playoff goals - a record which stood since S8!

This feels odd and unfamiliar.

What is going on hahaha, what a comeback.

Good job putting the snippets of information into paragraphs. And excellent 590 find.

Although the recent World Cup didn't follow that rule so who knows.

That's exactly why I asked - I know builder articles are not one and the same. @sterling is probably best placed to do Smarch tbh but isn't really in the builder article writing business atm.

Whoops completely forgot I read that when I was talking to Enorama. I figured he'd be the easiest one to talk about for a new guy. Do you think you can tackle Smarch? Will and Frank probably easiest for me unless someone else comes in for Frank but not doing them for a while anyway.

@SlapshotDragon are you still working on this? I know there is still formatting to finalise, but happy to do that myself when I transfer it to the HOF. Write-up and stats seems done?

I was wondering if anyone else liked doing the fade out of the intro song and glad to see you in the club. It might be very common actually, what do I know.

Pajariiiiiiiii what a time to score your first goal.

DAV G - Davos giving no fucks.

Why not both?

Not sure how many would pay attention with option 1 either. Or indeed option 2. People struggle to focus on the actual World Cup ffs.
