VSN: VHLE S92  Mid Season Review

 
Disclaimer (stats are from 42 games into the seasons, this was written last week)
Cologne Express 
Standings 1ST | Points 70 points | Record 34-6-2
 
Starting with the Express. No team has really challenged the Express so far this season, with only 8 losses in total and on pace for only 7 more, the express is a great example of a VHLE super team. Being led by Baby Moo Moo(RW) with 58 points, and goalie Clark with a 0.940 SV% it’s hard to say if any team will slow down the Express. It's safe to say the Express are early cup Favourites. 
 
Next Step: Acquire Two more forwards to power up the depth scoring, and a good backup Goalie, Suggested Forwards for the team are LW Alexander Minion (14 goals in 42) from Rome and RW Nico Belique (24 points in 42 games)  from Stockholm.
 
Bratislava Watchmen
Standings 2nd | Points 52 points | Record 25-15-2
 
The Watchmen are 18 points out of first place, The clear Second favourite to win the cup, the only real challenge to the Express this season standing-wise, and on pace for an easy second-place finish, the Watchmen are being led by stars,  Vlad Von Carstein a Defensemen with 40 points and Chris Sanzone a forward with 38 points, and a fantastic netminder in Pipo Popa!
 
Next Steps: Acquire a high-scoring star to boost the offense of the team, Suggested player would be BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson (57 points in 42 Games) from Rome or Logan Ninefingers (49 points in 42 games)
 
Stockholm Vikings
Standings 3rd | Points 45 points | Record 20-17-5
 
9 points ahead of the three teams tied for fourth, the Vikings are the last contending team left in the VHLE, the Vikings have been able to keep ahead of the remaining teams with fantastic teamwork and skill, with players such as Riley Martin, Alexandre Crosby and Guntis Gavilrovs standing out. Martin has 55 points while both Crosby and Gavilrovs had 46 points. Giorgiy Costanzov is a brick wall in the net with an amazing 940 SV%!
 
Next Steps: Acquire a star center, Possible Center who would fit include: Jeid Rohnson (43 points in 42 games) or  Jacob Smith Jr (40 points in 42 games) Both for Vasteras, and finally George Richmond(49 points in 42 games)  from Cologne 
 
Rome Gladiators
Standings 4th | Points 37 points | Record 17-22-3 
 
Currently holding the final playoff spot, Rome has the best duo in the league in BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson and LeBen Aky, who together have 112 points in 42 games. With two solid goalies in the net, Rome's downfall is the lack of depth, while other teams have a lot of defensive depth and three forward lines. Rome has no real depth and it has shown. 
 
Next Steps: Sell the core and rebuild, with how much they are missing from the core to contend, it’s not possible to become deep enough to challenge the watchmen or express without getting rid of everything Rome has, so it’s time to trust the process and rebuild 
 
Vasteras Iron Eagles
Standings 5th | Points 37 points | Record 16-21-7
 
The Vasteras Iron Eagle are one trade away from playoffs, with the depth core of the Iron Eagles, great players such as Jeid Rohnson (43 points in 42 games), and three different players with 40 players, plus a fantastic duo in net with Karl Herzlich, and Devon Giguere. The Iron Eagles will most likely overtake Rome in the standings in the next few days.
 
Next Steps: Acquire a star forward or two, Rome has the duo of Leben Aky, and BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson who have a total of 112 points in 42 games, and good trade with rome could acquire you both the players and put Vasteras Iron Eagles in a great spot for a cup!
 
Oslo Storm 
Standings 6th | Points 37 points | Record 14-19-9
 
Currently, the Storm are last in the VHLE, facing the same problem as Rome, but missing the star duo, Logan Ninefingers has tried to keep his team in the mix (49 points in 42 games) With help from goaltenders David Slezak and Toddly Bobbly both with respectable SV%, the Storm just need a deeper player pool to contend, something they do not have the pieces to acquire.
 
Next Steps:  Sell the core and rebuild, with how much they are missing from the core to contend, it’s not possible to become deep enough to challenge any team in the VHLE in a seven game series, OR If the Storm can keep doing enough to get into OT and win all of there OT games they could make playoffs, but that's a far if.

 

Welcome everyone,
 
We are back for another article and just like the theme of the week suggests, we are going to talk about the all-star. Indeed, we are going to assemble two teams of this season’s VHLE All-Stars and the two teams will be composed of the best six forwards, the best four defensemen and the best goalie of each division. The North Division will have the players of the Oslo Storm, the Stockholm Vikings and the Vasteras Iron Eagles and the South Division, the players of the Bratislava Watchmen, the Cologne Express and the Rome Gladiators. Sadly, the game will not be simulated… But, without further a do, your S92 VHLE All-stars:
 
North Division
 
F- Afonya Romanov @DontCallMeCarson 
F- Miroslav @Zyrok 
F- Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy  (Ninefingers will represent the Oslo Storm at the All-Star game, because the rosters were announce before the trade)
F- Riley Martin @Smarch 
F- Alexandre Crosby @sportexperts show 
F- Isaac mclflopper @hockeyis66 
 
D- Jean-Marc Lemieux @Gorth 
D- Hannibal Barca @DreMin15 
D- Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts 
D- Vladimir Kozlov @vladbatton 
 
G- Giorgiy Costanzov @Mongoose87 
 
With players from Oslo, Stockholm and Vasteras, the North Division may look a little less good on paper, but when you look at it more carefully, you can see a lot of good players offensively and defensively. In the forward core, there is only one from Oslo and it is Logan Ninefingers (I know he is now with Bratislava, but let’s pretend I announced the rosters before the trade was officialised, because I don’t want to do it over again.). Ninefingers is tie in tenth place for the number of points in the league with 57 (27g, 30a) in 52 games. Afonya Romanov and Miroslav are the two representatives of the Vasteras Iron Eagles in the forward core of the North Division. Romanov and Miroslav are both in the top 10 of the league for the number of points at the ninth and tenth place respectively with 55 and 54 points. Vasteras is currently in a playoffs spot and both players are playing a big part in this. The last three forwards, Riley Martin, Alexandre Crosby and Isaac mclflopper, are all from Stockholm. Riley Martin is currently second in the league with 68 points in 52 games and Alexandre Crosby is really close to the top 10 with exactly a point per game. On his side, Isaac mclflopper was selected more for his defensive talent as he is the second player with the most hit in the league with 168.
 
With the best defenseman in the league as of right now in Guntis Gavilrovs, North Division’s defense is looking really good. Gavilrovs is leading the defensemen in points with 58, the league in hits with 227 and is third in the league for the number of shots blocked with 133. Recently acquired by the Vikings, Hannibal Barca is another defenseman selected for the All-Star game. Barca currently has 36 points in 52 games. Even on a struggling Oslo team, Vladimir Kozlov earned his place on the North Division All-Star team, because of his defensive play. Indeed, Kozlov is first in the league for the shots blocked with 199. The last defenseman is also a representative of the Oslo Storm and just like his teammate in the regular season, Jean-Marc Lemieux is doing really good defensively. Indeed, Lemieux is fourth in the shots blocked category in the league with 132 and sixth for the number of hits (125). Finally, leading the league in the save percentage category with 0.945%, we have the goalie of the Stockholm Vikings Giorgiy Costanzov. Costanzov is also second in the league with a goal against average of 2.28.
 
South Division
 
F- BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10 
F- LeBen Aky @Ben_Reformed 
F- Baby Moo Moo @Elvis 
F- Theo Allard @InstantRockstar 
F- George Richmond @badcolethetitan 
F- Anthony Simmons @Starchychaff 
 
D- Joseph Dubois @Dubois 
D- Sunset Moth @McWolf 
D- Vlad Von Carstein @Dom 
D- Darko Alexander Malkovich @AColdCanadian 
 
 
G- Clark @cl4rk 
 
When you look at the standings, you see that the top two teams are both in the South Division, so it is not a surprise that there are a lot of really good players that were selected on the All-Star team of the South Division. Indeed, all six forwards are in the top 10 of the league for the number of points, all four defensemen are in the top 5 in the same category among the defensemen and the goalie is in the top two of the league. First, we have two of the best three players in the league in terms of points in LeBen Aky and BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson with 69 and 67 points respectively. They are also the best goals scorer in the league with 37 goals for Aky and 29 for BjornaBjorkson. Second, the last four forwards selected for the VHLE All-Star game are all playing for the Cologne Express. Baby Moo Moo (66), Anthony Simmons (63), Theo Allard (61) and George Richmond (57) are respectively fourth, fifth, sixth and eight in the league for the number of points. In addition, Simmons and Richmond both have 25 goals and are in the top 10 of the league in this category. Finally, Moo Moo, Allard and Simmons are in the top 10 of the league for the number of assists.
 
If you take a look at the defense of the South Division, you see that it has nothing to envy to its offense. Indeed, their defensive will be led by the two defensemen of the Bratislava Watchmen, Vlad Von Carstein and Darko Alexander Malkovich. The two defensemen are respectively second and third among the defensemen for the number of points with 49 and 48 points. After, we have the defenseman of the Rome Gladiators, Sunset Moth, who is fifth among the defensemen with 41 points. Moth also blocked 170 shots in addition to his 48 hits. As the last one, there is the defenseman from the Cologne Express, Joseph Dubois. Dubois currently has 47 points, good for the fourth place in this category. He is also fifth in the league for the number of shots blocked with 128. Finally, the goalie of the Cologne Express, Clark, will be in the net of the South Division. Clark is second in the league with a save percentage of 0.939% and first in the league for the number of goals against average with only 1.86.
 
My Prediction
 
Without a doubt, there are really good players on both teams, and it could really go either way. However, I must go with the South Division, because they really have the best of the best.
 
My prediction: South Division 5-3 North Division
 
MVP: BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson
 
Thanks everyone for reading, I wish you all good luck for the end of the regular season and see you in another VSN article.
 
P.S. feel free to write who you think should have been named on one of the All-Star team if you disagree with me.

Thank you for the confidence..
 
I... I did not expect to be mentioned this early in an VSN post, nor for it to sound so promising, but it will motivate me!
 
Also...  "Go Rome or Go Home" sound so good.

GO ROME OR GO HOME!!!

GO ROME OR GO HOME!!!

GO ROME OR GO HOME!!!

@Zetterberg
Welcome everyone,
 
To begin with, I would like to congratulate Sjin and the Cologne Express for their S91 Renaissance Cup. It was their third in a row and their fourth in the last five seasons. A lot happened during the last off-season, trades, FA signings and players getting called up in the VHL, so we can see teams having a better or worse season than expected.
 
#1 Bratislava Watchmen 
Offense rank: 1st
Defense rank: 2nd
Goalie rank: 3rd
 
The Bratislava Watchmen only made the playoffs one season since S87 and after some difficulties last season, the team looks stronger than ever and ready to compete. With the help of veterans like Luke Glendenning @ColeMrtz, Mikko Borisyuk @Minebro, James MacAvoy @Enraged and Darko Alexander Malkovich @AColdCanadian, Bratislava is really well equipped to help the young rookies like Kimi Raikkonen @mattyIceman, Karol Lamb @dlamb, Vlad Von Carstein @Dom and Pipo Popa @npuBeT have a good season and lead the team to the promised land. The Watchmen are going to be a very scarry team at the end of the season when everybody will be ready for the playoffs.
 
#2 Cologne Express 
Offense rank: 2nd
Defense rank: 1st
Goalie rank: 2nd
 
After winning their third Renaissance Cup in a row, the Cologne Express are not expected to look back. Indeed, the Express once again have a really good roster and are going to compete for one of the first spot of the standings in the regular season. Cologne can count on returning players such as Theo Allard @InstantRockstar, Anthony Simmons @Starchychaff, Jordan Bennett @Plate, Joseph Dubois @Dubois and Clark @cl4rk to show the way to the young rookies, like George Richmond @badcolethetitan, Adi Dassler @BOOM and Vanellope von Schweetz @Arce , that going to learn what it is like to play in a winning culture.
 
#3 Stockholm Vikings 
Offense rank: 3rd
Defense rank: 6th
Goalie rank: 4th
 
When you look at Stockholm’s roster, you see two things. First, you see that the Vikings will not have any difficulties scoring goals with forwards like Riley Martin @Smarch, Alexandre Crosby @hockeyis66 and Isaac mcflopper @sportexperts show. Second, Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts and Giorgiy Costanzov @Mongoose87 will have to play on top of their head all season long if they don’t want to allow six goals per game. So, Stockholm’s offense can hope to reach the ones of the top teams, but if no change to the defense is made by the GM @Doomsday, I just don’t see how the Vikings can compete with teams like Bratislava and Cologne.
 
#4 Vasteras Iron Eagles 
Offense rank: 6th
Defense rank: 3rd
Goalie rank: 1st
 
After winning two King’s Cup in a row, the Vasteras Iron Eagles lost a couple of really important pieces that got called up in the VHL. Therefore, Vasteras is not a top tier anymore, but I can still see them compete for a playoff spot if their goalie, Karl Herzlich @LastGoon007, and their top defenseman, Winston Dixon jr @Rjdixon01 and Hannibal Barca @DreMin15, can carry the team defensively. Even if the Iron Eagles offense is not the best in the league, players like Miroslav @Zyrok and Tom Dufour @Cookie can still have an impact and help the team offensively.
 
#5 Rome Gladiators 
Offense rank: 4th
Defense rank: 4th
Goalie rank: 5th
 
The Rome Gladiators have not missed the playoffs since S87 and like the Vasteras Iron Eagles, lost a couple of players during the off-season. This means that Rome will not be at the top of the standings at the end of the season, but if they play very well, I can see them make the playoffs. Led by their Swedish captain, BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10, the offense of the Rome Gladiators can also count on Behrens Minion @UnknownMinion and LeBen Aky @Ben_Reformed to produce offensively and give the team a chance to win enough games to make the playoffs.
 
#6 Oslo Storm 
Offense rank: 5th
Defense rank: 5th
Goalie rank: 6th
 
After being one of the best team in the league from S85 to S89, the Oslo Storm entered a rebuild in S90 and after two painful seasons, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel in Oslo. Even if Oslo is currently ranked sixth in this ranking, the Storm is really not far away from the Rome Gladiators and even from the Vasteras Iron Eagles and the last playoffs spot. If they want to make the playoffs, they are players such as Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy, Jussi Jokinenegg @HearnNation67 and liam oinas @ojje that will have to step up and carry the team on their shoulders.
 
Thanks everyone for reading, I wish you all good luck in the regular season and see you in another VSN article.

Game 49:
Philadelphia Reapers vs. Mexico City Kings
 
Go to Playoff Tree
 

1. Long week so far, ready for it to be over ha
2. Feels great! Hard work and good moves this season paying off
3. Queefson has been looking niceeee
4. Backs against the wall now, but we'll pull it out
5. Their entire first line is deadly, cant just pick one. 
6. Me

1. Weekly check in. How are you all feeling?
 
I'm OK I guess. Thank you for asking. Hope you're doing well too.
 
2. How does it feel for us to make finals?
 
As a former Assistant GM for approximately 4 days, I couldn't be prouder.

3. Who do you think has been the team MVP so far?
 
This guy....
 

 
4. How do you feel about our chances against Mexico City?
 
I think the Reapers have a really good chance against them to be honest. It will be tough, but that's what finals hockey should be.

5. Who is one player on Mexico City that we should focus on?
 
As some have mentioned already, that Justin Williams fellow seems quite decent. Maybe try shutting him down first.

6. Who needs to step up on our team to win the Founder's Cup?
 
I'm hesitant to single out a particular individual, so I'll just say the whole team needs to work together to achieve Founders Cup glory. If you can, you are an excellent chance.

1. Weekly check in. How are you all feeling?
Feeling great, we're in the finals now!
2. How does it feel for us to make finals?
It's nice to see the efforts of a long season finally pay off, we took our time to find our form but we've hit it at the right time.
3. Who do you think has been the team MVP so far?
Hard to argue against the blueline production from Eric Queefson.
4. How do you feel about our chances against Mexico City?
Will be a tough series, but I am confident about our chances.
5. Who is one player on Mexico City that we should focus on?
Justin Williams needs to be stopped from scoring, plain and simple.
6. Who needs to step up on our team to win the Founder's Cup?
Jeffrey Blake stepping up would be huge for the team. Who better than your shot-stopper! 

1. Good, but going down 1-3 in our series is concerning me a bit. We got this though.
2. Amazing, I won the cup on my very first player way back when, so I'd love to get another cup to my name
3. That's a tough one. I think either Aky or Swift should be. Swift's intangibles are amazing and he still has managed to put up 11 points. Aky has been super clutch, and if we win he always seems to have 2-3 points in the game. @Ben_Reformed and @lilchrist
4. We're definitely the underdog, but it also seems like we've been touted as that the whole playoffs, so we ball
5. Justin Williams, like wtf are his stats
6. I do tbh. I know I could be scoring more, but my shots are just not finding the back of the net
