  1. I mean you are right, there are going to be too many to count so he can't tag on all of them.
  2. Sorry but facts are facts. He could easily become much better over the season but I'm going on right now, so he has to be considered rather shit
  3. Game Projections Week One After a grueling offseason lasting about 2 weeks, Season 55 is about to start. VHLM game review will be a weekly series reviewing the next 7 days of games and projecting a winner for each one. Team Abbreviations Halifax 21st - HFX Houston Bulls - HOU Las Vegas Aces - LVA Minnesota Storm - MIN Ottawa Lynx - OTT Philadelphia Reapers - PHI Saskatoon Wild - SSK Yukon Rush - YUK Away Team vs Home Team #-# XYZ | OT/SO Games Day One Minnesota Storm vs Halifax 21st In terms of overall skill, Minnesota has the edge, but Halifax has better depth. The thing that decides this matchup for me is Minnesota's large advantage in scoring, passing, and defense. The only way I see this game going to Halifax is if Chase stands on his head. 4-1 MIN Las Vegas Aces vs Ottawa Lynx This game is over before it even starts. Some scratches on Vegas would be top 6 on Ottawa. Ottawa doesn't even have a goalie advantage. 6-0 LVA Saskatoon Wild vs Philadelphia Reapers Philadelphia's first game in their history will be an interesting one. While it looks like, on paper, that the game will be an easy win for Saskatoon, this is not the case. While Saskatoon has a full roster and is better overall, the Reapers have a more elite squad of players and the goalie advantage. Overall, this will be a close game that really depends on the fatigue of Philly. 3-2 PHI Yukon Rush vs Houston Bulls Both of these teams are relatively even, Yukon just has more filler players. A somewhat major factor of this game will be goaltending, where Houston has an advantage. 4-3 HOU | OT Day Two Ottawa Lynx vs Saskatoon Wild Like Saskatoon's first game, this game depends on Ottawa's fatigue. Another similarity is the fact that Ottawa's below average goaltending is worse than their opponent. 7-4 SSK Philadelphia Reapers vs Minnesota Storm Minnesota is just better, not much to say here. 11 average overall can't be made up by excluding 5 fillers. 6-2 MIN Halifax 21st vs Las Vegas Aces This game is one of the closest possible matchups, as both teams are very similar. Vegas has a slightly better overall roster but Halifax has Chase, the best VHLM goalie. 1-0 HFX Houston Bulls vs Yukon Rush This is one of 5 GAMES BETWEEN THESE TWO IN A ROW. I won't waste time by repeating myself 5 times and just put a score. 2-1 YUK | OT Day Three Saskatoon Wild vs Ottawa Lynx This repeat matchup is unlikely to be different from the first one. 6-5 SSK Minnesota Storm vs Halifax 21st See the day one description of this game. 3-2 MIN Day Four Yukon Rush vs Houston Bulls Cmon really... 5-4 HOU | SO Las Vegas Aces vs Halifax 21st Halifax is likely to be more fatigued due to them not getting a single day off so far. 2-1 LVA | SO Saskatoon Wild vs Philadelphia Reapers This is a similar case to LVA vs HFX. The only difference is that the team with rest won the last matchup. 5-3 PHI Day Five Houston Bulls vs Yukon Rush This system makes no sense. 2-1 YUK Las Vegas Aces vs Minnesota Storm Minnesota is just too good and more rested, enough said. 3-0 MIN Ottawa Lynx vs Saskatoon Wild Is the third time the charm? Probably since this week needs a major upset. 6-5 OTT Halifax 21st vs Philadelphia Reapers Halifax has a better goalie and a better roster. Nothing much to say here. 4-1 HFX Day Six Las Vegas Aces vs Ottawa Lynx Same game as last time. 7-1 LVA Yukon Rush vs Houston Bulls WHO COULD HAVE EVER GUESSED THIS MATCHUP! 2-1 HOU Day Seven Philadelphia Reapers vs Minnesota Storm Rinse and repeat. 8-1 MIN Saskatoon Wild vs Halifax 21st Under normal circumstances, this would be a close game. Then you look at the sieve in net for Saskatoon and then you realize it isn't. 6-3 HFX Yukon Rush vs Las Vegas Aces Yukon comes off of their 5 game series vs Houston to play a superior team in Vegas. 5-2 LVA Final Records Team Name | GP | W-L-OT | P 1. Minnesota Storm | 5 | 5-0-0 | 10 2. Las Vegas Aces | 6 | 4-2-0 | 8 3. Houston Bulls | 5 | 3-1-1 | 7 4. Halifax 21st | 6 | 3-2-1 | 7 5. Yukon Rush | 6 | 2-2-2 | 6 6.

  4. Player Info: Name: Sami Van Den Dreissche Age: 18 Birthplace: Blankenberge, Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium Height: 6 feet, 1 inch Weight: 200 Pounds Position: Right Wing Shoots: Left Van Den Dreissche is a goal scorer with above average puck handling. Unlike other rookies of his age, he is physically capable of VHL play, Being a right wing with a left-hand shot means he can set himself up for one-timers easily. He is projected to have a similar style to Ron Francis. Strengths: Scoring: His shot is the best and most important part of his game. His shot is deadly, faster than 100mph at times. He is very proud of his scoring abilities and spends at least two hours per day of his own time working on it. Despite the power on his shot, he tends to have accuracy issues when shooting from behind the circles. He accounts for this in his play by putting himself in more favorable positions. Puck Handling: Sami uses his puck handling to get himself into prime scoring positions, or to allow his teammates to get into position. Despite his ability, he prefers the simple play that has much higher chances of success compared to the fancy deke that will amaze commentators. Due to this, it is questionable whether this skill will grow throughout his career, as he feels it is a secondary skill that is usually too risky to attempt. Checking: Despite being only 6'1", he actively seeks out opportunities to body check. He uses his average size and weight to bait others into the fallacy that he does not pose a physical threat. However, he sometimes goes for checks he shouldn't, increasing the number of injuries he gets. Despite his aggression in checking, he never attempts to injure other players, with the only exception being in revenge for himself or another. Furthermore, if he does injure a player, he tries to make up for it with the player that got injured. Weaknesses: Defense: Sami's defensive game needs some work, as in focusing on his offensive abilities he seems to have forgotten defense. Once he gets to the VHL level, it is likely that his defense will improve greatly, due to his high hockey IQ, good checking, and fine motion control relating to his stick. Leadership: To call Van Den Dreissche a leader is blatantly misrepresenting his character. He is very flamboyant and has some aggressive tendencies. He also struggles to inspire others, sometimes even being too harsh on teammates. The tendencies previously mentioned lead to the issue of his Discipline being subpar. However, he is trying to fix the issue so it will likely become less of a factor as he grows older and matures. Penalty Shots: Going 0-5 on penalty shots in his high school career, something about them seems to prevent him from scoring, even though he scores on harder breakaways. It's likely that this is a secondary goal for Sami, as they do not come up often, especially if you count one specific player. P.S. I used the word Flamboyant, I have to use a Flambo image. (this is 500 words excluding this part anyway) Allez Montréal!
