The Yukon Rush played the Ottawa Lynx recently (and lost ). It was Sami Van Den Dreissche's first time actually visiting Eastern Canada. The morning of the day before the Ottawa game, Sami traveled to Montreal to see the birthplace of hockey. While there, he felt a sort of tension in the air. He had researched Montreal before his visit and took note of the Anglo-French divide within Quebec, and especially Montreal. Dreissche, growing up in a household that was also split along linguistic lines, felt the need to take action. The one thing that both sides share is a love for hockey, and he decided to use this to his advantage. Red to represent the English, Blue to represent the Quebecois, and White to represent the unity between them. The Montreal Voyagers, successor to les Canadiens, inheritor of the Maroons. 

Allez Montreal. Go Habs Go.

VHLM IN REVIEW: DAYS 1-32
The first 32 “days” of VHLM simming have been thrilling to watch. There have been many twists and turns, while everyone tries to gauge where they’re at. Some teams overperforming, others underperforming, and every bit of it has been an engaging rollercoaster of emotions. Here’s a catch up on what has happened thus far.
Halifax 21st | 14-4-0 | First
Halifax is objectively the best team in the league, this season. Five of their roster players have started off with more than a point per game and their offense has never looked better. However, the main reason that they have found success is because of the stellar play of netminder, Chase.
At this point, Chase is the clear Benoit Devereux Trophy frontrunner, being the only goaltender with a save percentage above .900, as well as the only one with a goals against average below 3.00. Next season, Chase is likely to play in a backup role for the New York Americans of the VHL, but at this moment, he remains the reason for Halifax’s winning.
Houston Bulls | 11-7-1 | Third
Houston, the better of the two expansion teams, has done fairly well this season. They are a good, rapidly improving team, however, they have performed somewhat better in the wins column, than you would expect by looking at their player stats. Houston’s main stars are left winger, Kari Jurri and center, Maximilian Kirbsson. Both players have scored 10+ goals and have 25+ points. Houston’s stats take a big jump down after that, and there isn’t much sustained depth on the scoring front, which is why it is slightly surprising that they’ve managed to squeeze into third.
Las Vegas Aces | 12-6-0 | Second
The Las Vegas Aces, defending Founder’s Cup champions, is a team that seems like they have been playing over their heads and are placed a tiny bit higher than they should be on paper. It could be due, in part, to their schedule, but they do have a few spectacular players, which include elite right winger, Rocky LaGarza and star defenseman, Mitch Matthews. Expect to see a drop in Las Vegas’ performance over the next couple weeks.
Minnesota Storm | 10-8-1 | Fourth
Honestly, I have no clue how Minnesota isn’t first or second. They are in possession of the most experienced VHLM goaltender in the league, amazing scoring depth, based on what we know each individual player is capable of, and a great defense. Sophomore defenseman, Denver Wolfe is second in league points,    this season, with 38 points in 19 games, which is exactly 2 points per game. Minnesota’s first line is also doing very well, with all three forwards having a point per game or better. Minnesota’s start to the season has been a big disappointment for fans and management, but they remain confident that they will prevail in the end.
Ottawa Lynx | 10-9-0 | Fifth
Ottawa has been a relatively similar team to Minnesota, in the fact that they have claim of an elite sophomore player, but instead of an all-star defenseman, they have an outstanding right winger talent, in Jack Lynch, who is third in league points. The main separation between Ottawa and Minnesota, however, is Ottawa’s lack of a full roster, which leads to more fatigue and less scoring. This is the main contributing factor as to why they are in the bottom half of the league. Ottawa also has terrible goaltending, which has cost them again and again, this season.
Philadelphia Reapers | 4-12-3 | Eighth/Last
The Reapers this season, are like the Montreal Canadiens on the powerplay, except in this case, the powerplay carries on through the entire game. Philadelphia can’t score, at all, which is ironic, considering they are known as the party team. Their goaltending isn’t much to snuff up to either. Honestly, there isn’t much more to say about the Reapers, other than the fact that they are just dreadful. This is what happens when you break the rules, by tampering with new players Blade.
Saskatoon Wild | 7-11-1 | Seventh
The main cause of Saskatoon not being in the playoffs is their abysmal goaltending, as they have the undoubtedly, the worst goalie in the league. The rest of the team is fairly good, and the Wild would most likely finish in the top 5 if they had someone more reliable to back them up as their netminder, but so long as they stick with who they have, the Wild won’t be getting any better.
Yukon Rush | 7-10-2 | Sixth
Yukon is a team that should technically be doing much better than they are. The god known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley or “HHH” for short, is doing his best to carry the team, but he isn’t really getting them anywhere. Yukon has a player that is most likely going to win the Mitch Higgins Trophy, the Alexander Chershenko Trophy, and the Ethan Osborne Trophy, yet they are only in sixth.
Another factor may be the disappointing play of right winger, Sami Van Den Dreissche, who, despite having a decent amount of hype placed on him, has failed to score a goal and has only 2 assists, in 19 games, playing second line minutes. If Van Den Dreissche and the other underperformers on the team start playing to their ability, Yukon can and will easily make the playoffs as the wildcard 5th seed.
To Summarize
The VHLM is such a tight contest at this point in the season, it is difficult to base the skill of a team on the current standings. It is mostly a garbled mess, so it is almost impossible to know who is for real and who isn’t. We do, however, get an idea of some of the skill in the VHLM, this season. The next few weeks are when the real contenders will begin to separate themselves from the bunch, so this was just a first look at how teams are making out, but expect more of this kind of article in the future, as we move closer and closer to the playoffs.

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
