VSN Presents: S93 VHLM Playoff Preview
 
Better late than never! Today we're going to take a look at the VHLM Playoffs, see how each team is looking in their quest for the Cup and have the folks from VSN predict how the playoffs are going to go in our humble opinions! It was a fantastic season in the VHLM, so let's take a look at how these playoffs can and *already have* shaped up!
 
First Round:
 
Because I was late on getting this article out, the first round is already done by the writing of this article, so we'll cover each series in terms of how each team fared and if they met expectations!
 
 Halifax 21st (2nd) vs. Philadelphia Reapers (6th)
 
Coming into this series, Halifax had the best offense in the regular season by a pretty far margin. 234 goals for on the season for Halifax, compared to 178 goals for by the Reapers, it was clear from the get that one team would absolutely have the offensive edge. What wasn't expected however, was how shutdown Halifax's defense would be against the Reapers, only allowing 5 goals against the entire series. When your team is able to dominate on both ends of the ice, it was already decided how this series was going to go. Philadelphia put up a good fight, but a juggernaut like Halifax is a team that would be significant challenge to overcome, and Philadelphia just didn't have all the pieces they needed this time around for a deep push. 
 
Prediction: N/A
VSN Vote: 3 Halifax, 0 Philadelphia
 
 Saskatoon Wild (3rd) vs. Mississauga Hounds (7th) 
 
Another similar case to the Halifax and Philadelphia series, the Wild came into the playoffs with the second best defense statistically in the regular season. With all their defensemen nearly maxed out in earnings, they would be a remarkably difficult challenge for Mississauga to overcome. Mississauga wasn't going to shy away from it however, as the likes of Taylor Swift @lilchrist, Jack Dickins @Mystery_boy98, and Anthony Simmons II @Starchychaff were going to do everything they could to chip away at the defense, but it wasn't enough for them. While they managed to put up 9 goals in their 5 game series, the constant onslaught they faced from up and down the Wilds roster proved to be their match. Another strong effort, but going up against stacked elite teams like these two series thus far, it was going to take something significant to go right for these teams to have a fighting chance.
 
Prediction: N/A
VSN Vote: 3 Saskatoon, 0 Mississauga
 
 Houston Bulls (4th) vs. Las Vegas Aces (5th) 
 
Arguably the closest of the series played in the first round of the playoffs, next up we have the Bulls going up against the Aces. Very evenly matched teams, the Bulls only edge against the Aces in the regular season was their defense and goaltending. After a very rough start to the series, the Aces pulled their starter in favor of their backup THE MIGHTY ICE WIZARD @DaddyFizz. The Aces bolstered one of the best first lines in the league with the likes of Pombo @samx, Finneas Finnegan O Cleirigh @Gorth playing a key role in providing offensive firepower. The depth of Houston proved to be an issue, however, as the Aces couldn't get consistent scoring up against Houston, and were also dispatched in 5 games.
 
Prediction: N/A
VSN Vote: 3 Houston, 0 Las Vegas
 
Ottawa Lynx (1st) vs. Mexico City Kings (8th) 
 
In our final first round matchup, we had the epitome of an atom bomb vs a coughing baby. Ottawa came into the playoffs with the best defense in the regular season by a pretty large margin, and Mexico City sold assets at the deadline. It was pretty clear who was going to win this series, but the way they won it was rather interesting when taking a look at the rest of the playoffs. The fact Mexico City managed to squeak out a win against Ottawa was amazing, and they even managed to shut out Ottawa in the game they won. Let that go to show that anything could happen in the playoffs, but it was most definitely a fluke as Ottawa got it together and dispatched them in convincing fashion over the next two games. A great showing by Mexico City, the future is very bright for the Kings!
 
Prediction: N/A
VSN Vote: 3 Ottawa, 0 Mexico City
 
Second Round
 
Onto the second round of the playoffs, we finally enter a place to give proper predictions, and with how pretty straight forward the first round was, we enter completely uncharted territory now as the playoffs ramp up into a new level of competitiveness. Let's take a look at the matchups!
 
Ottawa Lynx (1st) vs. Houston Bulls (4th) 
 
Onto the first series of the second round, we have Ottawa vs. Houston. Bolstered by their top line of Kevin OConnor @Luke033, Ocean Codoller @FreshOceanCod, and Sammie Kiefer @Fno, the Lynx are a dangerous offensive team for the Bulls to face. The Bulls can match offensively however, with the likes of Filip Zinek @FiZi, Johnny Tsunami @Vice & defenseman Ray Stanton @horoscope. On top of that, having the best goalie in the playoffs in Herald Benson @Benson backing them up, this is going to be a remarkably close series, but VSN predicts the depth and offensive prowess of the Lynx will find cracks in the armor, and give them the series!
 
Prediction: Ottawa in 7
VSN Vote: Ottawa 4, Houston 1
 
 Halifax 21st (2nd) vs Saskatoon Wild (3rd)
 
Another incredibly even series, we have Halifax going up against Saskatoon! The Wild have been blessed with a good offensive showing, especially by players like Jacob Longstreet @Dynamicmlb_42 and Bollos de Trueno @Thunder in particular. The 21st, however, have a goalie that has already put up 3 shutouts in these playoffs in Jon Webber III @Webberj, and it is VSN's prediction that with Webber's shutdown ability, and Aanarsi Reingaard @Laine & Andrew Skilton's @ace_five_offensive ability, that they will prove too much for Saskatoon to overcome, and provide Halifax their first Founder's Cup Final appearance under new GM @LucyXpher!
 
Prediction: Halifax in 7
VSN Vote: Halifax 3, Saskatoon 2
 
Founder's Cup Final
 
Ottawa Lynx (1st) vs. Halifax 21st (2nd)
 
Onto the final series of the prediction, we have the grand finale, Ottawa vs. Halifax! When the best of the best in the league go up against each other for the Cup, you can expect a hard fought series no matter what, and this will be absolutely no exception. It will be Ottawa's defense up against Halifax's offense, but that's too linear of a path to put the series on. Every aspect of both teams will play major factors in who comes out on top, and the slightest slip up may cost either team the Cup. With the stellar play of Jon Webber III that would have gotten Halifax to this point however, it is VSN's prediction that Halifax will give it just a little bit more, and win the series and the cup for the Halifax 21st!
 
Prediction: Halifax in 7
VSN Vote: Halifax 3, Ottawa 1
 
 
Thank you for joining VSN in our VHLM Playoff Prediction! Best of luck to everybody still in the playoffs!

1. Just wanna help this team win a championship 
2. Not gonna say it's between 2 Teams.. it's the playoffs anything can happen. 
3. To hard to pick just one player.
4. Playing my best hockey.
5. Keeping up with other sports that are going on.
6. I hope Florida wins it all....

For the 5th and final week of the regular season, the Halifax 21st are proud to announce Jon Webber III @Webberj as their SuperSailor.  In the 13 games this past week, Webber III continued his strong run of play and led the team to a record of 7-3-3 in their important stretch run-- including a 10 game point streak with 7 consecutive wins-- drawing to within 3 points of the first place Ottawa Lynx at the conclusion of the season.  During this stretch, Webber III posted back-to-back shutouts against Mississauga and Miami and continued to be a rock for the 21st between the pipes.  While his save percentage at .899% continues to stand out as lower than one might expect from a goalie of his quality, his 2.23 GAA ranks him among the top goaltenders in the VHLM and currently ranks him at 2nd on the Halifax 21st all-time list-- lower only than Henry Tucker Jr who only played 8 games with the club.  
 
In 60 games this season, Webber III has backstopped the team to 41 wins, losing only 13 times in regulation, and only 3 times in overtime or shootout situations.  Those 41 wins already ranks him 10th on the Halifax 21st all-time goaltenders list while he has played significantly fewer games than those players on the list around him.  Throughout the season, Webber III has been a huge part of this team's success, especially after Samuel Wazinski found himself on the IA reserve.  In 59 starts, he has never been pulled from the Halifax net once and has posted 4 shutouts for the Nova Scotia squad with Founder's Cup aspirations.
 
Off the ice, Webber III has been a model of consistency, putting in work every week to improve his game, modelling the kind of dedication that any manager would hope for in a player. 
 
Congratulations to Jon Webber III on a fantastic week and season in the VHLM and on being named the Week 5 SuperSailor.

1. Celebrated today... everyone in my house was sick over the weekend.
2. My ex girlfriend told me a few years ago that she was pregnant. 
3. I just didn't understand why someone would steal from the leagues..
4. I'm going with the Vegas aces..
5. I would like to see our own dogwood to win it he's playing at a high level.
6. If he's racking up in the assists...then his passing ability is on point...

Hello everyone! I just want to thank you all for the warm reception on my first ScoutsNet article, it feels great to be back making this kind of content. Today we are going to have a much smaller article, but we are going to use it to focus in on one of this draft's premier goalies, Jon Webber III. Without further ado, let's get into it!
 
 

JON WEBBER III | G | 127 TPE | @Webberj | Ranked #19 Overall
Descending from a bloodline of virtual VHL royalty, Jon Webber III is the third generation of a storied family that has produced several quality players over the past 20 seasons. Webber has begun his journey on the east coast, representing the Halifax 21st in the VHLM; In the early stages of the season, he has established himself among the top goalies in the league, landing top 7 in both save percentage and GAA. @Webberj is a very solid and reliable TPE earner, proven by his week-to-week earnings this season and the fact that he amassed 968 TPE with his previous player. If a team is searching for a goalie prospect this offseason, I expect a ton of interest in Webber III, especially if fellow goaltender Soju goes off the board early. So although he sits in the early 2nd round of my rankings at the moment, it would not surprise me to see him go in the first round either. This is a very talented young player that comes from a known and trusted family in the VHL space, so be sure to keep an eye on Jon Webber III at the S94 VHL Draft.

1. Watching myself get better with every game I play..
2. When u have great players around you...you wanna play your best...
3. I believe it would have to be Ottawa.
4. The Buffalo Bills (nfl)... and (mlb) Bluejays and the Mets.
5. Not a basketball fan so I would say it's a tie between nhl free agency and the off-season.
6. I'm a home body so I like to stay in comfort of my own home.

The Dustin Funk is awarded to that season's most improved player, this season we had a lot of players take a huge step forward. For this award each VHL GM can nominate 1 player from their own team, this ensures that no player is overlooked in any way. This can lead to a crowded field and with that it was narrowed down to four finalists, who stood out above the rest. These were:
 
S91: Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123 (CGY) - 62GP, 24-28-10, 0.923SV%, 2.39GAA, 3SO, 1955SA

S92: Jon Webber Jr (LAS) - 33G, 52A, 85P, -1, 50PIM, 119HIT, 18SB
 
S90: Nick Sansoe @Tipskid97 (LDN) - 5G, 16A, 21P, -7, 35PIM, 82HIT, 8SB
S92: Nick Sansoe (VAN) - 32G, 56A, 88P, -22, 60PIM, 94HIT, 54SB

S92: Fuukka Rask (HSK) - 65GP, 38-18-8, 0.935SV%, 2.27GAA, 5SO, 2285SA
 
S91: Ronald Johnson MacWallace III @RJMW (MAL) - 8G, 26A, 34P, 6, 19PIM, 35HIT, 17SB
S92: Ronald Johnson MacWallace III (MAL) - 31G, 43A, 74P, 23, 46PIM, 99HIT, 22SB
 
S91: David Rashford @Knight (MOS) - 11G, 17A, 28P, -48, 38PIM, 60HIT, 6SB

Wanted to throw a suggestion out there that I've been thinking of for a while... Including VHL career stats on the VHL Entry Draft page as a tab. 
 
I've included a few screenshots of what it would look like, essentially just a tab called Career Stats, where if you click it, the data would look like the existing League Overall tab, but it would only include the players from that seasons draft class. Users can sort by games played, goals, points, +/-, hits, etc. 
 
Example of Potential New Draft Page:

 
VHL Career Stats Page (replace players below with draft class and career stats):

^ numbers would all be way higher
 
I feel like it would be a really neat addition, given the data is already displayed around the site in various aspects, probably wouldn't take a ton of development effort (developer's most hated words). I'd imagine we'd see some really interesting and insightful Media Spots pop up because of it, going back and really digging into some unique career statistics that stick out in certain draft classes (like who is the most clutch player, or top sniper with shooting %), or just reviewing a draft class in general, either while the class is still active, or after retirement.
 
The idea spawned from the fact that I'm always checking hockeydb draft classes to see which players performed the best years later. This page could also be further expanded to Career Playoff Stats, although I feel like Regular Season stats are more foundational to everyone.
 
Opinions?

Ho ho ho

@Eso we appreciate you coming into Seattle, and embracing us like you did. It was a lot of fun having you around when you were around. We got to send them in now, just made more sense for us to utilize TPE spent on the winter.
 
@Webberj I privately messaged you, but excited to add you to the team in the locker room. Your build is exactly what we’re looking for and I think you’re gonna have a lot of fun on the team this season. Signing a contract and start some magic!
 
 

@JB123 @KRZY.. It is an honor to have my number retired.. I appreciate all the help and confidence you two had put into me for the 2 seasons in Oslo.. I really enjoyed my time there as well as the rest of the team.. Goodluck this upcoming season. Go get that three peat.
