    Elhandon got a reaction from Higgins in Statistically Speaking -- VHLM Power Rankings [1/2]   
    Statistically Speaking is back this week with our first VHLM Power Rankings.  True to our name, we're using some advanced statistics to determine each team's placement in the VHLM. 
    Since this is the first installment here are some explanations for each category:
    Goals +/-:  simply goals for minus goals against
    Shots +/-:  shots for minus shots against (divided by 10) 
    Offensive Puck Control: In minutes, the time spent with puck control in the offensive zone (divided by 100)
    Defensive Zone Time: In minutes, the time spent in the defensive zone (divided by -100, multiplied by 0.696*)
    Power Ranking Total (PR Points):  Sum of all four categories added together.
     
    *used .696 to align the defensive minutes with the offensive minutes.  The defensive zone is total time; while offensive zone is only with puck control.  Puck control will always be less, so the .696 is my attempt to normalize the two categories.
     
    after Game 85:
    Las Vegas Aces  Goals +/-:  -18    Shots +/-:    -4.9      Off. Puck Control:  5.9       Def. Zone Time:   -5.7     Power Ranking Total:   -22.7
    Oslo Storm           Goals +/-:  20    Shots +/-:     10.6    Off. Puck Control:  6.3       Def. Zone Time:   -6.1     Power Ranking Total:    30.8
    Ottawa Lynx        Goals +/-:  -30     Shots +/-:   -18.5    Off. Puck Control:  5.1       Def. Zone Time:   -6.5     Power Ranking Total:   -49.8
    Saskatoon Wild  Goals +/-:  -69     Shots +/-:   -33.9    Off. Puck Control:  5.1       Def. Zone Time:   -6.4     Power Ranking Total:   -104.2
    Yukon Rush        Goals +/-:    97     Shots +/-:   46.7     Off. Puck Control:  7.4       Def. Zone Time:   -5.1     Power Ranking Total:    146.0
     
    after Game 123:
    Las Vegas Aces  Goals +/-: -34      Shots +/-:    -10.6     Off. Puck Control:  7.8       Def. Zone Time:  -7.8        Power Ranking Total:   -44.6
    Oslo Storm           Goals +/-: 35       Shots +/-:    18.7      Off. Puck Control:  8.6       Def. Zone Time:  -8.1       Power Ranking Total:    54.2
    Ottawa Lynx         Goals +/-: -31      Shots +/-:    -26.3     Off. Puck Control:  7.3       Def. Zone Time:  -9.0       Power Ranking Total:   -58.9
    Saskatoon Wild   Goals +/-: -100    Shots +/-:    -48.5     Off. Puck Control:  7.2       Def. Zone Time:  -9.2       Power Ranking Total:   -150.5
    Yukon Rush          Goals +/-: 130     Shots +/-:     66.7     Off. Puck Control: 10.2      Def. Zone Time:   -7.1       Power Ranking Total:   199.8
     
    After all these numbers it's interesting to look at the change to each team's Power Ranking Totals.
    Las Vegas Aces dropped 22 PR points.  Most of the points were lost in the goals category.  Losing 16 hurt the Aces this week.
    Oslo Storm went the opposite direction gaining 23 PR points.  Gaining 15 in the goals category.
    Ottawa Lynx had the least change, only dropping 9 PR points.  Eight of the 11 PR points  were due to shots.
    Saskatoon Wild had the biggest drop.  And this would be no surprise looking at the standings.  They dropped 46 PR points, thanks to every category taking a hit.
    Yukon Rush was on the other side of the spectrum.  They were able to grab 54 PR points in total.
     
    We believe looking at these numbers can be a supplement to the standings page.  Yukon Rush deserves their place in the standings, while the same can be said for Saskatoon Wild.  Both are going opposite directions and barring a big trade, we won't see any change to either team's fortunes.
     
    Oslo Storm is rolling right now and should finish second in the year-end standings.  Being the only other team actually gaining PR points means they are a cut above the bottom three teams.  
     
    Here's where things get interesting.  Las Vegas Aces were behind the Ottawa Lynx, at the time the Power Rankings were analyzed, by 6 points in the standings.  However we can see the Aces actually look like the better team based on PR points.  Are they just unlucky? 
    Lately they have been on a bit of slide, going from only 3 back of Ottawa to being 6 back.  Either Ottawa has gotten better, or Las Vegas has gotten worse.  Could the unluckiness be attributed to a fast start this season?  The Aces should look into makes some changes in the near future in order to keep up with Ottawa. We think it is possible.  This will be the most interesting race going forward in the VHLM.  One we shall keep tabs on here at Statistically Speaking.

    There's a lot of players added in the past couple of weeks, so you might have fallen some more ranks than you might think. Lots of great looking prospects and new ones! If I missed you, let me know and I'll slide you in.

    Elhandon got a reaction from Fire Tortorella in Statistitically Speaking  --  Lando Baxter [1/2]   
    We here at Statistically Speaking sat down with Lando Baxter at the half-way point of his first season in the VMHL.  He recently got moved up to the top pairing of the Ottawa Lynx and is currently leading the Lynx defense in scoring.  We wanted to hear how he feels the season has went, statistically speaking.
     
    Statistically Speaking – You were recently moved off the second pairing with John Stephanides and are now playing with Chat almost exclusively.  It’s been a few games now, how has the change been, and why do you think you were moved?
     
    Lando Baxter—I’ll admit, I was hoping to be moved up.  Don’t get me wrong, Stephy’s a great guy and some day will be a great defensive defenseman.  Chat just plays a more offensive game that I feel makes us a more dangerous duo.  He’s a great skater and passer and I’m looking forward to getting more comfortable playing with him.
     
    Statistically Speaking – You’re the fastest player on the team.  How has that helped you rack up the points?
     
    Lando Baxter—Well first off, I have no idea how I’ve been able to do it!  I mean, I’ve always tried to use my speed to create space and opportunities, but I did not expect to step into this league and lead a good team like Ottawa in defensive scoring!
     
    Statistically Speaking – But you’re also the team’s worst in plus/minus…
     
    Lando Baxter—Yeah, uh, it’s embarassing.  I really wanted to excel at both ends of the ice, but so far it’s not happening in our own end.  Maybe splitting up me and Stephy will help?  Not sure though.  I mean I’ve been working on my defense.  I think I’m actually as good as Stephy there, but maybe since he’s better at checking…I don’t know.
     
    Statistically Speaking – So you’re leading the dmen in points, but trailing in plus/minus.  Are you worried about being type-cast as this offensive wizard that doesn’t care about his own end?
     
    Lando Baxter— Uh.  Wow, yeah I’ve never thought of it that way.  I mean I just play my game and trust the coaches.
     
    Statistically Speaking – but if you’re a liability, then…
     
    Lando Baxter— Woah, woah, woah, who says I’m a liability?

    Lando Baxter— If I listened to the fans, would I be a better player?  Is that what you’re saying?
     
    Statistically Speaking – uh, let’s change the subject he…
     
    Lando Baxter—No.  I want an answer.  If I played exactly like SpongePuck387 wants me to play, will I be a better player?
     
    Statistically Speaking – …
     
    Lando Baxter—…
     
    Statistically Speaking – No, it wouldn’t.
     
    Lando Baxter – Thank you.  I only care what the coach says and so far, he’s given me free reign to play to the best of my abilities.
     
    Statistically Speaking – So being last in Shot Blocks isn’t important?
     
    Lando Baxter –I’m out.

    Well there you have it.  You heard it here that Lando Baxter is a bit touchy when it comes to his defensive zone statistics. While he’s a defenseman that 2nd in overall points for Ottawa, we look forward to a more well-rounded player going forward.  He scoring now, but will a VHL team want a d-man who only cares about scoring?  Time will tell.
    Thanks for joining us today for an explosive interview.

    Lando Baxter—Yeah, uh, it’s embarassing.  I really wanted to excel at both ends of the ice, but so far it’s not happening in our own end.  Maybe splitting up me and Stephy will help?  Not sure though.  I mean I’ve been working on my defense.  I think I’m actually as good as Stephy there, but maybe since he’s better at checking…I don’t know.
     
    Statistically Speaking – So you’re leading the dmen in points, but trailing in plus/minus.  Are you worried about being type-cast as this offensive wizard that doesn’t care about his own end?
     
    Lando Baxter— Uh.  Wow, yeah I’ve never thought of it that way.  I mean I just play my game and trust the coaches.
     
    Statistically Speaking – but if you’re a liability, then…
     
    Lando Baxter— Woah, woah, woah, who says I’m a liability?
     
    Statistically Speaking – A few of the fans on social media have b…
     
    Lando Baxter— If I listened to the fans, would I be a better player?  Is that what you’re saying?
     
    Statistically Speaking – uh, let’s change the subject he…
     
    Lando Baxter—No.  I want an answer.  If I played exactly like SpongePuck387 wants me to play, will I be a better player?
     
    Statistically Speaking – …
     
    Lando Baxter—…
     
    Statistically Speaking – No, it wouldn’t.
     
    Lando Baxter – Thank you.  I only care what the coach says and so far, he’s given me free reign to play to the best of my abilities.
     
    Statistically Speaking – So being last in Shot Blocks isn’t important?
     
    Lando Baxter –I’m out.
    /Lando leaves
     
     
    Well there you have it.  You heard it here that Lando Baxter is a bit touchy when it comes to his defensive zone statistics. While he’s a defenseman that 2nd in overall points for Ottawa, we look forward to a more well-rounded player going forward.  He scoring now, but will a VHL team want a d-man who only cares about scoring?  Time will tell.
    Thanks for joining us today for an explosive interview.

    Defensemen are always needed, but there are definitely more centers than wingers, so really what ever position you want to play will be in demand!

    I would honestly say goaltending is probably a good demand at the moment. At least, future goaltending in the VHL. Although, if you'd rather take a more offensive route and you like points and stats like that, go with defense.
     
    Welcome to the website though!
