Bad bots. Bad. Go think about what you’ve done.

Agree. I get the script motif due to the name, but I think having that watermark is enough- a font change could really improve the product.

D - Mason Richardson Birthplace: Riverside, California, USA Height: 6'4" Weight: 216 lbs Jersey Number: 15 Drafted: S40 Round 1, Pick 2 (Cologne) Username: Kendrick What does it mean to be a defenseman? Is it your goal prevention? Your team's accomplishments? Your offensive output? Physical play? Mason Richardson's answer to that question was "all of the above". Richardson exemplified what it means to be a defenseman from Day 1 of his VHL career. It's honestly incredible that he only ever won one championship, as he was consistently a valuable asset to his squad, and demonstrated a strong work ethic throughout his career. He made good on his second overall selection in the Season 40 draft, spending multiple seasons with the Express before his trade to HC Davos Dynamo. Richardson is a deserving Hall of Fame selection because he was a guaranteed performer from the moment he stepped onto the ice. Career Awards: S39 Bourque Trophy - VHLM Top Defenseman S42 Continental Cup - Playoff Champions (COL) S42 Terence Fong Trophy - European Playoff Champions (COL) S46 Alexander Beketov Trophy - Most Assists S46 Sterling Labatte Trophy - Top Defenseman Season 40 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S40(COL) 72GP | 30G - 68A - 98P | +58 | 323SHT | 3GWG | 73PIM | 124HIT | 137SB Playoffs S40(COL) 4GP | 0G - 1A - 1P | -5 | 5SHT | 0GWG | 13PIM | 12HIT | 8SB In Richardson's rookie season, surprisingly enough he would put up his best offensive season of his career. Those thirty goals from the blueline were tremendous, and his 68 assists in 72 games are nothing to sneeze at. What impresses most about his rookie season is his excellent +58 rating. It's rare to see a rookie perform so completely, and Richardson was an asset on both ends of the ice for the Express, rewarding them for selecting him with such a valuable pick. It was unfortunate to see him struggle in the postseason in a fast Cologne exit. His 98 points as a rookie ranks as one of the best opening campaigns of all time. Season 41 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S41(COL) 72GP | 20G - 59A - 79P | +45 | 286SHT | 4GWG | 80PIM | 131HIT | 119SB Playoffs S41(COL) 5GP | 0G - 3A - 3P | 0 | 11SHT | 0GWG | 8PIM | 12HIT | 13SB While this decrease in production may seem like a downgrade, Richardson demonstrated his value in his sophomore season. Despite taking nearly forty fewer shots, Richardson still put up twenty goals from the blueline, and improved upon his hit total from the previous year while still maintaining a sterling plus-minus rating. He improved on his playoff performance, despite another quick Cologne exit in the first round of the playoffs. Season 42 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S42(COL) 72GP | 21G - 50A - 71P | +11 | 197SHT | 1GWG | 159PIM | 171HIT | 139SB Playoffs S42(COL) 16GP | 4G - 14A - 18P | +7 | 44SHT | 0GWG | 41PIM | 32HIT | 25SB Just one point shy of a third straight point-per-game season, Richardson saw his shot totals drop dramatically, yet he managed another twenty-one goals. Furthermore, he improved upon his hit and shot block totals. Richardson showed growing pains in adding to his physical game, racking up a very large penalty minute total compared to the rest of his career. Nevertheless, he had his most successful postseason ever, as the Express won both the Fong Trophy and achieved the ultimate goal: The Continental Cup. Richardson's eighteen points and physical play were an essential part of Cologne's run to the championship. Season 43 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S43(DAV) 72GP | 21G - 53A - 74P | +28 | 195SHT | 4GWG | 61PIM | 149HIT | 108SB Playoffs S43(DAV) 6Gp | 0G - 3A - 3P | +1 | 15SHT | 0GWG | 16PIM | 11HIT | 15SB Mason Richardson was traded in the wake of his first and only title to HC Davos Dynamo along with multiple draft selections for Azmet Ali and Bismarck Koenig. In his first season with his new squad, Richardson once again posted a point-per-game season and a strong plus-minus rating. He also achieved his fourth twenty-goal season in four tries, suggesting a bright path ahead. While his playoff foray ended in the first round yet again, he continued his consistent play. Season 44 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S44(DAV) 72GP | 10G - 58A - 68P | +16 | 184SHT | 1GWG | 154PIM | 143HIT | 100SB Playoffs S44(DAV) 7GP | 1G - 3A - 4P | -2 | 18SHT | 0GWG | 13PIM | 14HIT | 19SB In his second season with Davos, Richardson had a rare "off year." It's hard to really characterize it as an off year, but he struggled to produce offensively, per his usual standards. Despite this, he maintained a positive rating, and still contributed a solid physical campaign. The fact that an "off year" for Richardson was a double-digit goal and near-point-per-game season speaks to his consistent quality throughout his career. Season 45 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S45(DAV) 72GP | 13G - 66A - 79P | +24 | 225SHT | 3GWG | 128PIM | 127HIT | 122SB Playoffs S45(DAV) 9GP | 7G - 6A - 13P | +2 | 39SHT | 1GWG | 22PIM | 19HIT | 14SB To begin the final stages of his career, Richardson rebounded with a 79 point season and what was honestly the best playoff performance of his career. Davos would fall, but Richardson's seven goals in nine games was remarkable for a blueliner, and echoed the early days of his career as an elite offensive defenseman. What spoke most about this performance was his continued physical presence. Richardson was never one to sacrifice defense and physical play for offensive opportunities. Season 46 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S46(DAV) 72GP | 11G - 73A - 84P | +35 | 229SHT | 3GWG | 88PIM | 184HIT | 108SB Playoffs S46(DAV) 9GP | 1G - 6A - 7P | -1 | 17SHT | 0GWG | 21PIM | 31HIT | 14SB Richardson would follow up his resurgent Season 45 with his most complete season. In Season 46, he put up a staunch +35 rating and 84 points. His 184 hits was the highest total of his career at that point, and his ability to provide a devastating physical presence while reducing his penalty minutes was a hallmark of just how well-rounded his efforts were in his penultimate season. Having secured the Beketov Trophy for racking up the most assists in the league, he capped it off with the Labatte Trophy, recognized as the league's top defenseman. Surprisingly enough, it would be his last season with Davos, as he made one final move to finish his career. Season 47 Statistics (VHL): Regular Season S47(RIG) 72GP | 17G - 47A - 64P | -9 | 236SHT | 6GWG | 136PIM | 189HIT | 128SB Richardson joined the Riga Reign for his final VHL season. It was here that he would finish with the lowest point total of his career, and the only negative rating of his career. While he maintained his physical play, Richardson missed the playoffs for the only time in his career as well. That being said, he delighted the Riga faithful with a whopping six game winning goals. Career Totals: Regular Season 576GP | 143G - 474A - 617P | +208 | 1,875SHT | 25GWG | 879PIM | 1,218HIT | 961SB Playoffs 56GP | 13G - 36A - 49P | +2 | 149SHT | 1GWG | 134PIM | 131HIT | 108SB All in all, the career of Mason Richardson was the sort that sometimes went unnoticed while he played. His greatest strength was his consistent performance in all areas of the game. His value was never in question. Richardson remains as an example of what young defensemen should aspire to be: dependable, hard-working, and versatile. His work ethic was legendary, and ranks among the shortlist of VHL legends. His commitment to the physical side of hockey and his early goal-scoring prowess remain examples of what a top pick should be and should achieve in the VHL.

I'd say player page would give you the data best.

Thanks. I'll go back to Mason Richardson.

I've seen the format. The format in the article on Maxwell I linked is pretty similar. I'll obviously write it a little differently, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing redundant work when there are plenty of HOF articles that need doing. I'm happy to do an article on Maxwell (switched because their career interested me more to write about). Just wanted to ensure I wasn't doing something that's already done.

Musing on My First Two Weeks Johannes Vilhjalmsson / Center / Ottawa Lynx My first two weeks in Ottawa have been a whirlwind. The players are bigger (not bigger than me), the pace is higher (ok, that's something I need to work on) and the coaches are nicer. Yes, nicer. I don't mean that in a way meant to upset people back home in Iceland. But back there it's much more rigid. Warm-ups together. Coach says what to do. Skating drills. Coach says what to do. Passing drills. You get the idea. Here it's more loose. We do some structured drills, but there are a lot of scrimmages. Plenty of room for being creative. Coaches here don't get mad when you miss a pass. They get mad when you don't try to make plays. Even then, when I say "get mad", I mean that they clap at you and tell you to play with confidence. That's new. Back home, it's about not making mistakes. Clean, safe passes, get back and check. Don't leave the zone early. I think it's doing a lot for me to be able to play creatively. I know that most people look at my brothers and I and say "big, slow, dumb." We want to play fast hockey. Make intelligent plays. Get on highlight reels. Hockey over here really is more expressive. I think that you lose something when you restrict yourself to always making the safe play. We're at the bottom of the standings now. But no matter how this season goes, I think I made the right call coming over. I'm growing as a player in a way I'm not sure I could back home.

I'm sort of confused. There was an article written for Maxwell when they retired written by @TheLastOlympian07. Am I meant to write something new?

@Will I switched to Maxwell

Claiming Diana Maxwell.

Eesh lol we can't be shipping seven goals if we're gonna come back from our start this season.

Eyyyyyyyy in the clutch.

Great defense this game.

1. Don't give away secret! Ref in this country haven't figured out yet. In Iceland, they all told each other to watch out for it. 2. Not yet. But Jonas probably would spoil it, he always act like clown with girls. 3. I put on socks left, then right. Always. Sometimes Jakub try to tell me I did it backward just to fuck with me. Asshole. 4. One time Jakub and I left Jonas with a big bar tab in local bar. We went back next night, owner tells us that we owe him money- Jonas claimed he didn't drink anything that night and that it was only Jakub and I. Owner believes him because bartender tell him, Jonas never ordered anything. Bastard kept making us go up and order. Now we know why. We pay tab. Find out later, Jonas paid tab already, asked owner to mess with us. Owner gives money to Jonas that we pay owner. So Jonas ends up getting to drink for free. Such a little baby, was harmless joke.

Ok, ok. I answer. 1. Olga Stefansson is too skinny for you. Was doing you favor. You should thank me. 2. You just figure that out now? No wonder you aren't center. Of course I took your chain, I needed it. 3. Duh. I am always score, ice or no. She's a nice girl, you should not worry about such things. Becca has a friend that you might like.
