    Goalies really are just trading great games this series. Just need things to swing Tucker Jr’s way for a couple.

    It's Day 4, and the town has finally come around to its senses on voting someone out. The first lynching of Game 29 goes to none other than @NSG, who's survived up to this point on relatively limited info.
     
    That could be suspicious or just plain difficult to sort out, but in this case, the town has lynched the FORGER.

    Back to the finals they go! The London United have once again been dragged kicking and screaming into the finals by its determined players. Jesse Teno has continued to baffle critics by being old and capable. It’s not very often you see a goalie go through the extreme highs and lows that they have. Teno is having a run in the finals that has not been seen from them since S88 when London won its first and only Continental Cup.
     
    Going up against DC is definitely going to be a challenge for the veteran goalie. Between Henry Tucker Jr @NSG and Jesse Teno being close in stats at the end of the season as well as being equally as dominant during the cup run, this is surely going to be a match up for the ages. Not only are they going to make an incredible match up, but this will also be a S85 class reunion. Tucker Jr was drafted 8th overall and Teno was drafted 10th overall. I guess it’s time to see who has made the largest impact and who will walk away a champ heading into their final season.

    NSG reacted to dstevensonjr in A Half-Decade of VHL All-Stars   
    For my Theme Week post on All-Stars, I decided to take a look back at the last half decade (Seasons 88-92) in the VHL to see which players would be the All-Star of the last Half Decade for each team. Considering the individual nature of being an All-Star, I'll focus more on individual performances in the regular season rather than team results. I'll take a look at their overall performance from S88-92, and the best season in that run. In order to come up with specific team criteria, I'm only including seasons that the player played for that team, and the player must have played at least 4 seasons for the team unless otherwise noted. S92 totals for players come at the 48 game mark of the season.
     
    Calgary Wranglers
     
    Player: D - Phil Strasmore
     
    S88-92 Totals: 336 GP  45 G  224 A  269 PTS  671 SHT  1000 PIM  1193 HIT  697 SB  8 GWG  23 PPG
    Best Season: S90 - 72 GP  13 G  47 A  60 PTS  166 SHT  201 PIM  244 HIT  170 SB  3 GWG  8 PPG
     
    Why?: Strasmore had seasons that were arguably more productive offensively in the five seasons in Calgary, but S90 was the best blend of both offense and defense. The highest goal output in the five season run came that season, along with a linked high in shots and powerplay goals. S88 was a contender when Strasmore won the Jake Wylde Trophy for best defensive defenseman, but All-Star nods usually boil down to scoring, so I'll give it to the better goal year.
     
    Chicago Phoenix
     
    Player: C - Scotty Sundin
     
    S88-92 Totals: 288 GP  153 G  195 A  348 PTS  1831 SHT  164 PIM  287 HIT  139 SB  23 GWG  33 PPG
    Best Season: S91 - 72 GP  49 G  63 A  112 PTS  522 SHT  50 PIM  103 HIT  31 SB  5 GWG  12 PPG
     
    Why?: Sundin was the quintessential Phoenix player of the last half decade, playing 4 full seasons from S88-91 in Chicago. Sundin won the Scotty Campbell Trophy and the Mike Szatkowski Trophy in S91, which ended up being Sundin's most productive season for Chicago. The choice for the best season for Sundin was between S90 and S91, but it wasn't much of a choice to make given how dominant that season was in S91.
     
    D.C. Dragons
     
    Player: D - Mark Calaway
     
    S88-92 Totals: 264 GP  69 G  178 A  247 PTS  959 SHT  458 PIM  658 HIT  613 SB  11 GWG  26 PPG
    Best Season: S90 - 72 GP  20 G  56 A  76 PTS  286 SHT  132 PIM  166 HIT  165 SB  4 GWG  6 PPG
     
    Why?: Not much debate around the All-Star choice for Calaway's season, any time that a blueliner hits 20 goals in a season as Calaway did in S90, it's very impressive. A five season high in goals, assists, points, shots, penalty minutes, and game winning goals came in that season as well, showing an all around offensive strength. The goal total wasn't inflated by a surprise powerplay year either, further adding to the impressiveness of that season.
     
    HC Davos Dynamo
     
    Player: Tie between D - Jake Thunder and G - Lachlan Summers
     
    S88-92 Totals (Thunder): 288 GP  61 G  294 A  355 PTS  899 SHT  698 PIM  930 HIT  675 SB  15 GWG  38 PPG
    Best Season (Thunder): S88 - 72 GP  17 G  76 A  93 PTS  199 SHT  198 PIM  239 HIT  144 SB  3 GWG  12 PPG
     
    S88-92 Totals (Summers): 297 GP  190-80-26  .931 SV%  2.36 GAA  21 SO  9519 SV  17949 MIN
    Best Season (Summers): S90 - 64 GP  49-12-3  .938 SV%  2.06 GAA  7 SO  2015 SV
     
    Why?: It was a real tossup between Thunder and Summers, with both deserving of the All-Star nod for Davos. Jake Thunder had some monster seasons on the back end for the Dynamo offensively and defensively. S88 ended up being a solid combination of both sides, winning the Alexander Beketov Trophy for leading the VHL in assists while remaining productive defensively. A full award cabinet that included 2 Victory Cups (S90, S91), a Continental Cup (S89), a Sterling Labatte Trophy (S90), a Jake Wylde Trophy (S90), a Daisuke Kanou Trophy (S89), and the previously mentioned Beketov Trophy. Thunder would be the runaway sole All-Star on most teams, but not for Davos.
     
    Goaltender Lachlan Summers holds an equally impressive resume for the half decade for the Dynamo. Summers won the same Victory and Continental Cups as Thunder on those teams, and also won the Aidan Shaw Trophy, Greg Clegane Trophy, and Brett Slobodzian Trophy in the S90 choice for best season. Summers added a Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy in S88 to go with the rest of that hardware. The .938 single season save percentage is tied for the best among the All-Star goalies in this span, and the .931 overall save percentage tops the rest.
     
    Helsinki Titans
     
    Player: C - Daryl Dixon
     
    S88-92 Totals: 336 GP  153 G  214 A  367 PTS  2098 SHT  543 PIM  1055 HIT  172 SB  17 GWG  34 PPG
    Best Season: S91 - 72 GP  30 G  63 A  93 PTS  470 SHT  122 PIM  176 HIT  38 SB  3 GWG  3 PPG
     
    Why?: Goal scoring is what fans come to see, and 30 goal seasons are a virtual lock for Dixon. Four straight seasons (with a fifth on the way) over 30 make for the class of the Titans, but it was the usual goal scoring with the playmaking spike in S91 that gets the All-Star nod. Career highs in multiple categories came last season for Dixon, including coming close to eclipsing the 100 point mark. Almost the entirety of the goals came at even strength, where the goals are harder to come by than on the powerplay.
     
    London United
     
    Player: Tie between RW - Molly the Cat and G - Jesse Teno
     
    S88-92 Totals (the Cat): 335 GP  179 G  189 A  368 PTS  2138 SHT  288 PIM  692 HIT  148 SB  33 GWG  52 PPG
    Best Season (the Cat): S91 - 72 GP  52 G  55 A  107 PTS  528 SHT  56 PIM  127 HIT  31 SB  12 GWG  23 PPG
     
    S88-92 Totals (Teno): 301 GP  160-109-32  .929 SV%  2.36 GAA  21 SO  9424 SV  18328 MIN
    Best Season (Teno): S91 - 64 GP  40-16-8  .937 SV%  2.02 GAA  6 SO  1937 SV
     
    Why?: Despite winning the Continental Cup together in S88, the pair of All-Stars both put up their best season in S91. Both members of London for all five seasons, they've had spectacular individual seasons and five year runs.
     
    Molly the Cat posted some of the best offensive numbers in the league in S91, with an almost equal distribution between goals and assists. Powering the goals last season were an explosion on the powerplay, notching the league's highest mark with the man advantage as the only player with more than 20 powerplay goals. Last season was the continuation of goal scoring prowess for the Cat, as the follow up to three straight seasons over 30 goals.
     
    Jesse Teno posted the lowest single season goals against average of any of the goalies on this list, barely missing out on a sub 2.00 GAA. Accompanying that sparkling, league best goals against average was a league high in shutouts, and a runner up in save percentage. Teno won the Aidan Shaw and Greg Clegane Trophies in S91 as an acknowledgment of those accomplishments. Teno finished the five year run with the most minutes played among the goalies on this list.
     
    Los Angeles Stars
     
    Player: Tie between C - Todd Cooke and G - Art Vandelay
     
    S88-92 Totals (Cooke): 336 GP  186 G  277 A  463 PTS  2086 SHT  247 PIM  479 HIT  177 SB  30 GWG  44 PPG
    Best Season (Cooke): S90 - 72 GP  41 G  77 A  118 PTS  501 SHT  56 PIM  147 HIT  49 SB  7 GWG  11 PPG
     
    S88-92 Totals (Vandelay): 302 GP  188-88-24  .926 SV%  2.42 GAA  23 SO  9031 SV  17941 MIN
    Best Season (Vandelay): S92* - 43 GP  31-9-3  .928 SV%  2.20 GAA  4 SO  1240 SV
     
    Why?: Another team with an offensive star and a stud goaltender that are too difficult to compare and choose between. Both have had amazing seasons for the Stars, and both have played the entirety of the half decade together in LA.
     
    Todd Cooke has been an extremely productive scorer for all five seasons in LA, but there is a clear standout season in the five that gets the nod for best season. Cooke's S90 season included a league lead in assists and points, along with big hardware. The Mike Szatkowski Trophy, Scotty Campbell Trophy, and Alexander Beketov Trophy all landed in Cooke's Trophy Case following a spectacular S90. Cooke remains the offensive star in LA, headed for yet another 35+ goal season, the benchmark for all five seasons.
     
    Art Vandelay's run of over 60 starts through the entirety of the five season span (including the pace for this season) has been the picture of consistency for Los Angeles. All five seasons above a save percentage of .920 made it difficult to choose from, but this season has the potential to be the best yet for the latex salesman. Vandelay has been the architect of many successes for the Stars, and S92 looks to be building towards career bests in wins, goals against average, save percentage, and shutouts for the aspiring marine biologist.
     
    Malmo Nighthawks
     
    Player: G - Ash Sparks
     
    S88-92 Totals: 231 GP  123-79-26  .926 SV%  2.46 GAA  17 SO  7083 SV  13796 MIN
    Best Season: S89 - 67 GP  30-26-8  .931 SV%  2.49 GAA  9 SO  2222 SV
     
    Why?: Ash Sparks has had multiple solid seasons in the last four seasons to choose from for the Nighthawks, but the standout year definitely goes to S89. While the W/L record didn't reflect just how good Sparks was that season, the other statistics definitely did. Sparks finished S89 with a league high in shutouts, along with top five finishes in save percentage and goals against average among qualified goaltenders. The 9 shutouts in S89 was the most in a single season for a goalie in this half decade run.
     
    Moscow Menace
     
    Player: D - Fraser Wallace
     
    S88-92 Totals: 288 GP  79 G  152 A  231 PTS  1206 SHT  204 PIM  362 HIT  255 SB  9 GWG  27 PPG
    Best Season: S90 - 72 GP  23 G  44 A  67 PTS  382 SHT  60 PIM  115 HIT  20 SB  5 GWG  5 PPG
     
    Why?: As mentioned previously, it is awfully special when a defender can put up a 20 goal season. Fraser Wallace managed 2 of them in the 4 seasons in Moscow, while almost having a third in S88. Deciding between multiple 20 goal seasons was difficult, but the edge goes to S90, as it had better totals in other statistical categories to go with it. A career high in assists, points, shots, hits, and game winning goals makes this a solid All-Star season for Wallace with the Menace.
     
    New York Americans
     
    Player: C - Jasper Davis
     
    S88-92 Totals: 265 GP  108 G  150 A  258 PTS  1291 SHT  132 PIM  380 HIT  222 SB  11 GWG  26 PPG
    Best Season: S91 - 72 GP  39 G  66 A  105 PTS  434 SHT  46 PIM  119 HIT  73 SB  3 GWG  9 PPG
     
    Why?: Jasper Davis burst onto the scene for the Americans in S89, winning the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy as top rookie. With a couple of solid offensive seasons along the way in the four seasons, it was the offensive explosion in S91 that takes the All-Star honours for Davis. Eclipsing the century mark for points was a highlight, along with career highs across the board in goals, assists, points, shots, penalty minutes, and powerplay goals.

    Prague Phantoms
     
    Player: Tie between C - John Jameson and D - Velociraptor Greg
     
    S88-92 Totals (Jameson): 336 GP  211 G  247 A  458 PTS  2278 SHT  739 PIM  1258 HIT  153 SB  39 GWG  48 PPG
    Best Season (Jameson): S89 - 72 GP  50 G  64 A  114 PTS  533 SHT  72 PIM  243 HIT  39 SB  7 GWG  10 PPG
     
    S88-92 Totals (Greg): 336 GP  74 G  227 A  301 PTS  1067 SHT  617 PIM  815 HIT  636 SB  14 GWG  40 PPG
    Best Season (Greg): S88 - 72 GP  18 G  59 A  77 PTS  271 SHT  114 PIM  190 HIT  143 SB  4 GWG  9 PPG
     
    Why?: A couple of large team based awards were won together by the two All-Stars for the Phantoms, both winning the Continental Cup in S90, and the Victory Cup in S88. A forward and a blueliner aren't very comparable head to head, and splitting the two players didn't make much sense with both of them spending the full half decade with Prague.
     
    John Jameson holding a streak of four straight 40 goal seasons for the Phantoms makes an easy choice for an All-Star, but should be a difficult choice for which season is the best standout. S89 rises above the rest here, as Jameson eclipsed the 50 goal mark for the only time, along with a high in assists, points, and shots. It also included personal hardware, with Jameson winning the Scotty Campbell and Scott Boulet Trophies, a testament to the dominant season that Jameson had.
     
    Velociraptor Greg was a harder pick to narrow down a best season, with double digit goals and 50+ points in each season of the half decade from the blueline. I gave the edge to S88, one that held a high in goals, assists, points, and game winning goals for the half decade period. Greg has been a model of consistency on the back end for the Phantoms, both offensively and defensively. 
     
    Riga Reign
     
    Player: G - Henry Tucker Jr.
     
    S88-92 Totals: 257 GP  155-78-20  .928 SV%  2.50 GAA  10 SO  8164 SV  15222 MIN
    Best Season: S91 - 65 GP  47-12-5  .931 SV%  2.28 GAA  2 SO  1966 SV
     
    Why?: Henry Tucker Jr. spent the first four seasons of the half decade with Riga, posting solid numbers in all four seasons. While all four seasons were solid, S91 ends up being the choice here for the All-Star nod, seeing the best win total, save percentage, and goals against average with the Reign. Tucker Jr. almost topped the 50 win mark, which is an exceptionally difficult threshold to break. Having a four season run where the worst save percentage is .925 is consistent and remarkable. 
     
    Seattle Bears
     
    Player: D - Rex Wolffe Gregor
     
    S88-92 Totals: 216 GP  50 G  141 A  191 PTS  633 SHT  387 PIM  413 HIT  411 SB  7 GWG  33 PPG
    Best Season: S91 - 72 GP  27 G  52 A  79 PTS  288 SHT  120 PIM  165 HIT  137 SB  6 GWG  19 PPG
     
    Why?: Rex Wolffe Gregor is the only player on the list to make it while playing fewer than four seasons with their team. There is plenty of good reason for Gregor to be the nominee for the Bears, as the S91 numbers are eye-popping. Gregor neared the 30 goal mark from the blueline, which is remarkable, and almost hit 20 goals on the powerplay, which is equally remarkable. Gregor also topped the 50 assist mark, and was very close to hitting the 80 points and 300 shots totals.
     
    Toronto Legion
     
    Player: Tie between C - Mac Atlas and G - Joel Castle
     
    S88-92 Totals (Atlas): 336 GP  164 G  150 A  314 PTS  1917 SHT  319 PIM  705 HIT  157 SB  31 GWG  31 PPG
    Best Season (Atlas): S91 - 72 GP  46 G  42 A  88 PTS  539 SHT  77 PIM  186 HIT  26 SB  10 GWG  10 PPG
     
    S88-92 Totals (Castle): 303 GP  141-126-34  .927 SV%  2.47 GAA  16 SO  9523 SV  18123 MIN
    Best Season (Castle): S91 - 65 GP  42-21-1  .938 SV%  2.06 GAA  3 SO  1997 SV
     
    Why?: Yet another team who gets a split between a forward and a goaltender, this duo won the Continental Cup together last season. Both players have spent the entire half decade with Toronto, and put up their best seasons last year on the way to the Championship.
     
    Mac Atlas has been the Captain of the Legion for the last four seasons, and had his best offensive season in S91. Setting career highs almost across the board was impressive for Atlas, hitting that mark in goals, assists, points, shots, penalty minutes, hits, game winning goals, and powerplay goals. Atlas finished among the league leaders in multiple categories, and was an easy choice to go with for the Legion skaters.
     
    Joel Castle has had multiple strong seasons in net, but S91 is the clear runaway for the best. A league best save percentage and the second best goals against average made this an easy choice, and Castle ended up being runner up in the top goaltender category. The .938 save percentage was tied for the best single season mark for the goalies on this list, earning Castle his reputation as a brick wall.
     
    Vancouver Wolves
     
    Player: G - Brandt Fuhr
     
    S88-92 Totals: 64 GP  49-12-3  .938 SV%  2.06 GAA  7 SO  2015 SV  12743 MIN
    Best Season: S89 - 65 GP  40-22-2  .922 SV%  2.63 GAA  4 SO  1969 SV
     
    Why?: Fuhr spent the first four seasons of the half decade with the Wolves, and was a consistent backstop throughout that run. S89 was the choice for the All-Star season, setting a high in wins for that period with 40, and a best goals against average with 2.63. Fuhr finished that run with a .921 save percentage total for that time with the Wolves, and was a solid presence in net throughout.

    Warsaw Predators
     
    Player: D - Doug Britton
     
    S88-92 Totals: 336 GP  38 G  158 A  196 PTS  581 SHT  574 PIM  819 HIT  691 SB  5 GWG  18 PPG
    Best Season: S90 - 72 GP  12 G  35 A  47 PTS  152 SHT  134 PIM  226 HIT  181 SB  2 GWG  5 PPG
     
    Why?: Britton had multiple solid seasons for the Preds throughout the entire half decade, but there was one season where it all came together offensively and defensively. S90 saw a high in goals, penalty minutes, hits, shot blocks, and game winning goals for Britton. The middle of the run saw three straight seasons over 30 assists and 40 points, leaving Britton as the model of consistency for Warsaw on the blueline.

    With the UFA period coming to close with most players either weighing up the final offers before putting ink to paper; it is time to look back and quickly see who the winners are coming out to Free agency period and maybe some that lost ground. Lets have a quick look at these winners and losers....
     
     
    Winners:
     
          London United 
     
    While they were not the most active during the UFA period they did manage to sign the biggest remaining forward on the board in Center Sjin @Sjin as the writing was rather on the wall that the player was going to re-sign when they were seen completing press conference duties in the London media a few days before putting ink to paper. London topped that signing by bringing in Left winger Halvar Torbjorn @Rayzor_7 from Seattle Bears in what should be a great depth addition. Traded for Defender Scoish Velociraptor Maloish @youloser1337 from Seattle Bears to reduce some of the drop off of losing Hunor Solyom @solyom & Deron Nesbitt  @AW13 last season but were unable to secure a true number one defender to boost their defensive core. So I have them winners for their ability to re-tool their offense and forward group but could also be viewed as Losers for not being able to completely rebuild the back-end. Creating a clear weakness for a team that should have Championship aspirations.  
     
     
      Calgary Wranglers
     
    Hard not to have the Wranglers as winners as the UFA period closes when they collected one of the hottest UFA players in defender Skor McFleury @Alex via a sign and trade from Malmo Nighthawks. Calgary also signed defender Pope Francis @nurx from Los Angeles Stars providing some youthful depth to their defensive core. With bring in McFleury meant someone had to be shipped out to make the cap work so out goes defensive minded Malum Maellard @frescoelmo to New York Americans for a couple of picks in S93 draft. Calgary Wranglers have improved their team on paper to best in North American Conference and will hope that adding offensive minded defender in Skor McFleury will kick start an lack luster offense from last season.
     
     
        D.C. Dragons
     
    D.C. needed a goalie and had to pay the price by trading for goaltender Henry Tucker Jr @NSG from Riga Reign in what should be a season or two rental but they couldn`t risk their whole season if they didn`t make this move. They will still need to find a long-term solution in net but have bought themselves sometime and have brought themselves back into the conversation for the Continental Cup. Icing on top of the cake is also the re-signing of Jason @Jason kranz prior to the UFA period starting giving him one final kick at the Cup!! 
     
     
     
    Losers:
     
      Warsaw Predators
     
    For a team that has improved a lot during the off season most that has been done before the UFA market opened and done via trades; so as other team improved their overall depth it has been Warsaw that has fallen back the most. It just seems other teams did more to improve during the period. The signing of goaltender Geoff Bezos @Quik; most likely a back-up this season and left winger Tim Riggins @Jayhawk; (since moved to defense) seems more like lateral moves rather than moves made to drive the team forward. In the end Warsaw seen the depature of Jack The Ripper @Ripper (Seattle), Noodles Marconi @Eynhallow(HC Davos), and John Poremba Jr @CrlineDijohn14(HC Davos). While re-signing Tater Tottingham @Trunkxolotl, Doug Britton @Doug Britton and Tim Riggins @Jayhawk. While trading for Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple, Alfred Champagne @Anthique, Rex Wolffe Gregor @oilmandan and Clueless Wallob @DMaximus . With so many moving parts one would assume a great leap forward but it just feels like the team made small improvement and also got a lot older.
     
     
       Los Angeles Stars
     
    Los Angeles took care of business before the UFA period in the re-signing of center Todd Cooke @KRZY and right winger Adam Rage @MrMom but lost out on improving the defensive core and even lost defender Pope Francis @nurx to the Calgary Wranglers. They still have two open slots on the back-end but might be comfortable giving a ton of ice time to the Jake Wylde, Sterling Labatte Trophy winner and first All-star Elias Lampi @Pifferfish; but I assume that they will be working the phones as they need to improve this area if they are going to make a last effort with an aging core at the Continental Cup.
     
     
      Toronto Legion
     
    Toronto have two open slots at forward and will look to fill these slots before the start of the season. While they still look to re-sign right winger Montgomery Burns @LastOneUp; who continues to hold out with reported multiple offers on the table from different teams around the league. Even if he does re-sign in Toronto; Toronto will be still looking for another forward to fill out their roster with limited available. While Toronto was busy during the period in re-signing Harry Callahan @dstevensonjr, Jimmy MacElroy @Xflexz, Diego Machado @Dadam30 and Evan Bihler @Eb14 could be viewed as wins but when you are a week away from opening your defense of the Continental Cup and you have two open forward slots; it rather leaves a uneasy feeling in your mouth.
     
     
    Vancouver Wolves, Seattle Bears and HC Davos Dynamo are not consider losers even though they didn`t improve that much as all three teams are completely in the re-building stages or just started into a re-build. They are re-builders!!
     
    While some team look like they came out of UFA period better than when they started; and others not so much!! It is still a long way to the start of the season so all the team could still improve with an odd late signing of a UFA as a few are still outstanding and/or via trades.
     
    Some of these teams also still have question marks around aspect of their team like the London United and the Los Angeles Stars as they both team have great offense but some of the worst defense in the league entering the season.  On the other end of the spectrum, you have teams that are clearly more defensive minded in Helsinki Titans, Calgary Wranglers and Malmo Nighthawks all of whom might struggle to score this season. What I am trying to say? Fuck Knows!! All teams have issues and it will come down to how these teams deal with their weakness and strengths that will determine their success this season. Watch for some surprises this season as I am predicting me might see a few as we all do!!

    Today, as I sit at my computer and stare at the standing and stats contemplating what to write about for my 2 TPE I took a deep look at the EU conference.  Davos and Moscow are on fire as usual and seem to be on pace to challenge each other for the Victory Cup, or what I like to refer to as the Curse of Winning cup, as it seems it rarely leads to a championship.  At least in the limited research I have done, very limited
     
    But looking at some other clubs also in the playoff hunt I stopped on Riga and I believe that they have a real chance to be the up setters of the conference. They have a deep club an at the 62-game mark every player has more than 30 points.  They have a lights out centermen in the Frenchman @OrbitingDeath , a beast on D in Brian Kowalski @Wheaties who already has 70 assists, a top defensive forward in Vasile Lamb @dlamb, depth, and a great goalie in Henry Tucker Jr @NSG 
     
    I think this club can cause trouble for whomever they face in the first round.  Best of Luck EU
