The Great VHLM Goal Scorers of History
 
Vogon Jeltz, the first line right wing of the Minot Gladiators currently has 19 goals through 9 games. And that’s after a cold stretch of two straight games without a goal – five of his first seven games resulted in hat tricks, while the other two of those games saw Jeltz score two goals apiece.
 
Now, it’s early in the season, and it makes no sense to get ahead of myself with prognostications. However, seeing as how I’m in the media, writing things that make no intrinsic sense is part of my job description. Plus, it’s so pretty to see these numbers:
2.11: The number of goals Jeltz is averaging per game 152: The number of goals he is projected to score this season at this current pace 44%: How many of Minot’s total goals have been scored by Jeltz 9: Jeltz’s goals lead over E’Twaun Delicious, who was taken three spots ahead of him in the draft 44.5: How many games it will take him to pass Mario De Rossi’s S41 league-leading 94 at this pace It’s safe to say that Jeltz may end up one of the most prolific goal scorers of all-time. However, what does that mean? We decided to take a look back at the three highest goal scorers in VHLM history to find out, as well as draw any comparisons that we can.
 

 
#1. Evgeni Fyodorov – Ottawa Ice Dogs – 186 goals
 
Some teams simply aren’t fair. The S21 Ottawa Ice Dogs finished the regular season with 129 points, 36 more than the next closest team in the standings. The team was solid up and down the lineup; fellow winger Keon Henderson finished with 129 assists on the season. However, nobody, and I mean nobody, could score like Fyodorov. At 186 goals, he finished just six shy of the entire Brampton Battalion team, a team that managed to win 21 games by itself. His goals were more than double third place Frank Ricard (I’ll explain second place shortly), and he bested teammate J.J. Stafford by 109 goals.
 
The reason behind the surge? Fyodorov had talent with his 92 scoring, but it also had a lot to do with a particularly underwhelming class of VHLM goalies. Mattias Backland, from Fyodorov’s own Ottawa team, led all goalies with a .895 save percentage. The best goalie to play all 72 games that Fyodorov faced, Brampton’s Patrick Byrd, finished with a .894 save percentage and a 3.93 goals against average. That’s like shooting on an empty net.
 
 

#2. Gunnar Axelson – Saskatoon Wild – 185 goals
 
Close but no cigar, Axelson finishes just behind Fyodorov in the standings. Coming in three years later in Season 24, also benefitted from a much stronger supporting cast than Veltz has around him this season, with Saskatoon finishing with 129 points in the final regular season standings. Team goalie CAL G would later go on to the Hall of Fame, while two fools named Mike Molholt and Vladimir Boomchenko destroyed all comers in the assist category with 128 and 101, respectively.
 
To me, Axelson’s season may be even more impressive than Fyodorov’s for one key reason: competition. While scoring seemed to be up across the VHLM when Fyodorov made his mark, Axelson’s 185 goals were a full 109 more (243 percent!) over second place Evgeni Galchenyuk. Axelson’s next best teammate, Milan Zarek, scored just 56 goals, showing that Axelson carried the team by himself. In addition, there was at least some modicum of goaltending – aside from his own team’s CAL G, Andreas LaFontaine also finished with a respectable .903 save percentage and a 3.17 goals against average.
 
 

#3. Greg Adams – Oslo Screaming Seamen – 139 goals
 
Are you future VHLM historians on a hunt to find the most underrated VHLM season of all-time? The place to look is in Season 21, that aforementioned land of milk, honey and no goaltending. Fyodorov finished not only with a record 186 goals, but a record 272 points as well. Second on the all-time points list and third on the all-time goals list? Well, that would be another Season 21 player: Oslo right wing Greg Adams, whose 139 goals and 250 total points places him upon the pantheon of all-time VHLM greats.
 
Of course, it would if, you know, he had actually won an award for it. Fyodorov won the Sakic (MVP), the Dionne (most points), the Hull (most goals), and the Yzerman (two-way forward). Ottawa’s Keon Henderson beat him out by 18 assists for the Oates. And even the playoffs didn’t go his way, with Oslo being bounced in the first round by a Kolari (now Turku) team that tied them in the final regular season standings. Greg Adams got no respect, but he gets some now as the forgotten man with the third-most goals in VHLM history... unless, of course, Jeltz continues on his current pace of 152.

Dammit, the Lynx keep on winning but somehow are unable to get past the Gladiators. That team is on fire and I cannot understand what is going on over there. Is it something in the water, or what? Seven wins, zero regulation losses. The team just cannot be contained and it is crazy.  Then the second most goals for and third goals allowed. Ridiculous.
 
I mean look at the stats for these players. Jack Ryan, a defenseman, has 23 assists and 28 points in 9 games. What the hell? Is he playing 60 minute games or something? Then you got Vogo Jeltz. I don't even know what to think of these stats. 19 goals in 9 games. Let me say that again. 19 goals. In 9 games. 19! What is going on with that guy? The thing is, the rest of the team isn't even lighting the roof on fire compared to the rest of the league. It's just these two guys. Vogon Jeltz and Jack Ryan probably don't even belong here with what they are doing right now. It's almost criminal. Someone needs to arrest these two before they steal the championship from the league!

Stockholm Is Alive

 
STOCKHOLM - After a brutal going in Season 41 in which the Stockholm Vikings "boasted" a losing streak of over 30 games and a final win tally of just ten, the tides have suddenly turned for the long-suffering franchise. After a discouraging 0-3 start, the Vikings broken out with a four-game winning streak, easily a team-best since the move to Stockholm last season. Led by defensemen Jack Kowalski and Lord Karnage, Stockholm appears to be finally finding their groove offensively, especially after forwards Tyrone Williams and Andrew Erikson were brought in to provide depth.
 
"It feels great to finally be living up to the expectations we've set for ourselves," said Kowalski following a 5-4 win over the Riga Reign, in which the Vikings' captain recorded his second four point performance of the season. "We've got a very promising group here in Stockholm and I feel the VHL is only just starting to see what this team is capable of doing."
 
Stockholm will face a real test against the Seattle Bears, as their young forwards will be hard-pressed to beat Niklaus Mikaelson, who is having a season very worthy of a Dustin Funk Trophy thus far.

I agree. We are the gfx team.

it's unfair for the other teams having that much talent in one locker room
 
I'm not complaining though 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

siggy for streetlight:
 

I got that bitch a sig

Bitches love sigs

We are up all night to get....a sig done (not lucky)
Inspiration tho

Choose someone with an active background at the very least.
 
There's some guys still on the grading team for writing that do dick all. It's been all my and CowboyinAmerica for the past while.
 
I've always been down for the bulk of the role, and that's still completely fine with me. It's just sometimes I see more to do like the lengthy Bios, and it would nice if there were some more personnel to help out.
 
If there wasn't a weekly TPE cap it wouldn't be a problem for me, but seeing as I do my own Media Spots every week, and the cap is 9, and I usually do more than 12 grades a week easily.....I can't even claim the TPE.

I've been a grader here since the start of this version of the VHL, and for a while before that. I always make sure to grade thoroughly to help whoever I'm grading. I can grade podcasts, written pieces as well as graphics, and would always make sure no PT is left behind. I'm organized and always browsing the VHL. I'd love a chance at an opportunity like this.

I'll be climbing in TPE equally as fast or faster than anyone in the league as far as I know. I'll keep scoring at least more than you let in

You better be happy, Edgar Balthazar. I gave you power, and I can TAKE IT AWAY.
