  2. Vegas and Quebec into phase 2 of expansion
  3. What if Thomassen would have acheived shit all without Wolf. Insert a picture of philosoraptor
  4. Tukio, Osborne and Lindberg weren't dominating in hits (or simply can't hit (ex Tukio ) and they were still acquiring 1st. In comparaison, XXX and Mcqueen were both dominating in hits but never got that much of 1st stars. (Except once for XXX) I don't remember the season but Robin Gow had like 17 1st star and was a non hitting player. So yes, hitting seems to help but it's a combination of multiple things
  5. Oh no, not that fucking douche giving his opinion again. Who cares amirite ? After reading ball's article on last week edition of the VHL Mag (TOPFIVEMVPCANDIDATESATTRADEDEADLINE), I was intrigued by the famous Scotty Campbell Trophy S44 race. Well, is there really a race ? I don't think so. Here's my weakly "boost my self esteem" post. The only true king winner is, Lord Karnage. Let me bring you my main argument. If you are not aware of how the voting works, it's pretty much the same as the other awards where the blue team sends a ballot to every VHL GMs and then collects the votes to decide a winner. Even if it's not a public vote as the Brett Slobodzian Trophy (which rewards the VHL's Most Outstanding Player), I feel like what I will bring to the table will fit for both award. I know you are soaking wet to know what is my main argument...but first... let me bring up the "MVP" definition. But how can we tell how "helpful' a player is on the ice on a sim league ? Fortunately, (is that even a word?) the sim engine offers us a stat that is directly linked to the "best player on the ice". Of course, more points a player collect, the more "useful" the player seems to be. Well, I think the decision should be more complex than that. That is why the number of stars should be highly considered in those voting. If you watched some Habs games, you can agree that last year's MVP (Carey Price) was often ALWAYS the first star. Not only we was performing every night, he carried his team on his back more often than not. That's my definition of a MVP. So, let's take a look at that stat in this season index. It's pretty easy to understand, but I'll make a brief resume for you. S1 means how many time the player was awarded with the 1st star, S2 was how often the player was rewarded with the 2nd star and S3 was how often the player was rewarded with the 3rd star. Cologne's teammates, Thomas O'Malley and Bismark Koenig, who are respectively 1 and 2, have both 9 1st star. Even if they have a solid team, this means that they were, taken from the sim engine, 9 times the most dominant player of the ice. They both have impressive S2 and S3 stats too. Lets take a look below the 2 Cologne's star, we have Lord Karnage with an impressive 16 1st star award. If we do basic math, this is 5 7 1st star over the second league's best. How good is that ? Some could argue that sometime, if a player is the only elite player in his team, the 1st star award easier to get, but this isn't the case in Stockholm. Stockholm has numerous of player who could steal the show like Slaughter (5 times awarded with the 1st star), 3 Moons (9 times awarded), Light, Campbell, etc. Plus, since the Vikings aren't dominating the league (Davos, Quebec, Calgary and Cologne performing as well as the Vikings), they couldn't be given the excuse that other players doesn't stand a chance to win the 1st star award. Let's take a look at past season to see if that "stat" went with the majority of the GMs' votes. S43 Winner : Tom Slaughter (STO) - 45G 77A 122P +70 (10 times 1st star) League Leader : Bruno Wolf (16 times 1 star) S42 Winner : Martin Brookside (COL) - 34-22-7 .926SV% 1.88GAA 8SO (7 times 1st star) League Leader : Bruno Wolf (17 times 1 star) S41 Winner : Mike Szatkowski Jr. (RIG) - 41-19-4 .926SV% 1.89GAA 13SO (8 times 1st star) League Leader : Bruno Wolf (14 times 1 star) S40 Winner : Wesley Kellinger (COL) - 43G 73A 116P +66 (13 time 1st star) League Leader : Tied Niklas Lindberg & Xin Xie Xiao (14 times 1 star) S39 Winner : Odin Tordahl (NYA) - 65G 62A 127P +71 (22 times 1st star) League Leader : Odin Tordahl (22 times 1st star) S38 Winner : Tuomas Tukio (NYA) - 50-10-4 .937SV% 1.63GAA 13SO (10 times 1st star) League Leader : Tied Lindberg, Zhumbayev, K.Olsen (14 times 1st star) S37 Winner : Tuomas Tukio (QUE) - 43-19-1 .930SV% 1.82GAA 13SO (14 times 1st star) League Leader : Tuomas Tukio (14 times 1st star) S36 Winner : Ethan Osborne (HSK) - 65G 70A 135P +45 (19 times 1st star) League Leader : Ethan Osborne (19 time 1st star) S35 Winner : Michal Wozniak (CGY) - 72G 82A 154P +75 (17 times 1st star) League Leader : Michal Wozniak (17 time 1st star) The Brett Slobodzian trophy seems to follow that rule a bit more often. The player awarded with the most 1st star won the trophy 6 times (S42, S40, S39, S37, S36, S35) in the last 9 seasons. Of course, this shouldn't be the only thing looked at, but I really think this should be at least considered in stats to look at when the voting happens. Hope you enjoyed my article, of course, this could be considered as BIAS but that's folks, my honest opinion.
