everything about me is average

Welcome to the S80 VHLM Power Rankings Tracker! Power rankings will be shown in this format for the rest of the season so that I’ll be able to update it every week. With this format we’ll be able to showcase standout players (selected by each team’s GM or AGM) in order to shine a light on some players in the M who might not get much attention otherwise. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please let me know! NOTE: Stats and Standings are updated as of Sunday, October 3rd. Current Rank: 1 Record: 22 - 1 - 0 Last 10 games: 10 - 0 - 0 Place in standings: 1 Standout Player: Juice Box @Siddhus 22 goals, 34 assists, 56 points in 23 Games Played. Another Standout Player is Williams Groves @Will3 for their impact in the locker room. Comments: Ottawa leads the VHLM standings this season so far sitting one point above the Rush. The Lynx are currently on a 18 game winning streak. @16z has done a great job turning this team around after missing the playoffs in a disappointing S79. Ottawa is too hot to handle and at this rate (knock on wood) maybe they will find themselves in the record books for most wins in a season. Current Rank: 2 Record: 21 - 1 - 1 Last 10 games: 10 - 0 - 0 Place in standings: 2 Standout Player: Kyosti Karjalainen @UnkemptCL4PTP - 30 goals, 29 assists, 59 points in 23 Games Played Comments: The Yukon Rush have been on a rampage lately, winning their last 10 games in a row. Although they sit below Ottawa in the standings, Yukon is the only team this season to have beaten the Lynx. Kyosti Karjalainen @UnkemptCL4PTP has been a scoring machine this season, leading the league in goals scored. @Domg5 has built this team to look like the S78 Rush who won the Founder's Cup. Current Rank: 3 Record: 15 - 6 -2 Last 10 games: 7 - 2 - 1 Place in standings: 3 Standout Player: Barry Bonds Jr @Jim Kovtrash - 16 goals, 48 assists, 64 points in 23 Games Played Comments: After a disappointing S79 finishing 2nd last in the league, @Laine and the Storm have bounced back and are rolling through the VHLM. The Storm have a lot more depth than last season and because of it sit third not only in these rankings, but also in the standings, GF, and GD. A main role to this success is Barry Bonds Jr @Jim Kovtrash who leads the league in points this season. Current Rank: 4 Record: 15 - 8 - 1 Last 10 games: 4 - 5 - 1 Place in standings: 5 Standout Player: James Glove Dropper @Jamomayo - 23 goals, 33 assists, 56 points in 24 Games Played Comments: The Houston Bulls have pulled a massive U-Turn from the S79. Finishing last place by a mile in S79 and selling all players for draft picks, @MattyIce has helped out this organization big time filling out his roster and making Houston a strong playoff contender once again. James Glove Dropper @Jamomayo sits in the top 10 in the league for goals, assists, and points, helping lead Houston's offence to success. Current Rank: 5 Record: 15 - 7 - 1 Last 10 games: 6 - 4 - 0 Place in standings: 4 Standout Player: Pekka Grubauer @Tendy - 15 wins, 0.909 SV%, 3.15 GAA in 23 Games Played Comments: The Aces are beating the odds with their four player roster (2 F, 1 D, 1 G) and blowing away their competition in the Western Conference. Pekka Grubauer @Tendy has the Aces on their shoulders as they sit in the top 2 for SV% and GAA in the league. @JigglyGumballs keeps their motto "trade the picks trust the process" and it is working so props to them. Current Rank: 6 Record: 13 - 7 - 3 Last 10 games: 5 - 4 - 1 Place in standings: 6 Standout Player: Matt Avens @Mr Bohannan - 28 goals, 24 assists, 52 points in 23 Games Played Comments: Mexico City has been a solid team for the past couple of seasons and it seems as if they are following tradition. @youloser1337 has taken over this organization and made an impact since. The Kings only have three players over 100 TPE but they still sit in the top half of the league - Matt Avens @Mr Bohannan is one of these key players, placing them fourth in the league for goals scored. Current Rank: 7 Record: 10 - 12 - 2 Last 10 games: 5 - 4 - 1 Place in standings: 7 Standout Player: Bryn Yrwy @dylanjj37 - 29 goals, 35 assists, 64 points in 24 Games Played Comments: Halifax is currently the best of the worst (the best team out of the bottom 6 teams). The 21st have a smaller roster but have some key players like Bryn Yrwy @dylanjj37 and Jacob Richard @Jacob Richard who both sit in the top 5 for leaders in league points. If the 21st and @Brewins15 keep on pace, there is no doubt they will find themselves in the playoffs. Current Rank: 8 Record: 8 -14 - 2 Last 10 games: 5 - 4 - 1 Place in standings: 8 Standout Player: Mason Jones @Masu Chan - 6 goals, 20 assists, 26 points in 24 Games Played Comments: @Alex_J32 has taken over as the Reapers new GM after being the AGM for two seasons. The Reapers finally found a goaltender in Ali Des Aves @ViprVipewho has played a huge role. Philadelphia is currently holding onto a playoff spot and with their depth in roster and someone between the pipes, it is hard to say that by the end of the season they won't be seeing the playoffs. Current Rank: 9 Record: 8 - 15 - 0 Last 10 games: 5 - 5 - 0 Place in standings: 9 Standout Player: Yun Chiang @FireballSalad - 8 goals, 15 assists, 23 points in 19 Games Played Comments: It seems as if Miami has a tradition - do good one season, tank the next. The Marauders won the Founder's Cup in S74, S77 and most recently in S79. After each season they won, they played very poorly, so maybe @Ledge and Dairy is smart to follow in the footsteps of Miami history. Current Rank: 10 Record: 5 - 15 - 3 Last 10 games: 1 - 8 - 1 Place in standings: 10 Standout Player: Daniel Janser @Daniel Janser - 10 goals, 17 assists, 27 points in 23 Games Played Comments: After a heartbreak loss in the Founder's Cup in S79, @N0HBDY looks to rebound and find a way back in. At this pace it won't happen as the Hounds have won only one of their last 10 games. I won't disrespect the Hounds as they are only working with a four player roster (3 F, 1 D) and all forwards have over a point per game. Current Rank: 11 Record: 5 - 18 - 3 Last 10 games: 4 - 6 - 0 Place in standings: 11 Standout Player: Dekster Jankowski @xsjack 19 goals, 12 assists, 31 points in 24 Games Played Comments: Saskatoon finished 2nd best in the league last season in standings, so funny enough they have decided to throw down their uno reverse card and sit at 2nd worst in the league now. @Doomsday is working with a very small roster this season and it is looking like a rebuild for the Wild squad. Current Rank: 12 Record: 3 - 19 - 1 Last 10 games: 0 - 10 - 0 Place in standings: 12 Standout Player: Robert Wilk @Tomat0 - 21 goals, 19 assists, 40 points in 23 Games Played Comments: San Diego struggles this year sitting last in the standings and these rankings. New GM and former Ottawa Lynx AGM @JB123 has taken on this task and hopefully will lead the Marlins to a bounce back to being a contender team. The Marlins have a young team with 8 out of 9 players being rookies and also are hurting for a goaltender. I believe if they get someone between the pipes there will be a lot more wins in the future. On a brighter note, S78 veteran Jyuunya Pureya Oneri Desu @Guriinwoodo has been a defensive threat for their team, finding themselves in the top 3 for hits and shots blocked this season.

I am excited to announce to whoever reads this .com article that I have joined the VSN team as one of the writers! This may not seem super exciting to most but in my eyes this is a massive W for myself. First of all, Job pay is 8 per week when I write an article... No more torturing myself to type out reviews. Don't get me wrong it is nice to search the forum and read other member's work for TPE, but it is honestly a pain in my rear to have to do it (it feels forced). I have always wished there was a better way to get my last 2 capped TPE when trivia is not around and now I have that way, so I am pumped. I also just really enjoy writing media spots. I am not a great writer by any means but when it comes to the VHL my fingers start typing like crazy. I hope the community enjoys what I write in the future, I am covering the VHLM and plan to continue the Under 200 series that Alex started. Another reason I am super excited about this job is that as I have said before, I am looking for a GM job. I figured this could be another way to get my name out there more. As stated above, I enjoy writing these type of articles so it is a win-win. I am excited to get started and I hope everyone will enjoy my coverage of the VHLM!

yup no worries!

1. To help LA make the playoffs and hopefully go for a deep run. Also to win ROTY. 2. Vancouver probably, we're 1-2 against them so far but they're very good this season. 3. AJ Williams being called up. 4. Both, need the body to stay in shape but also need relaxation to stay sane. 5. Chocolate >>> 6. I'm a big multi grain guy, don't know why or how but I am.

Press conference - Week Ending October 3 (Answer all 6 for 2 TPE) 1. Warsaw sits 3rd in the EU conference with a 5-3-1 record. Have we been playing well or should we be doing better? 2. What has been a key role to our winning record. 3. How has your player performed through the first sim? 4. Malmo currently owns first place in the league, will they take home another Victory Cup? (Best Regular Season Record) 5. How do you think our team looks? Anyone we should add? Trade? 6. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?

Claiming 4/4

LETS GOOO

WOOOOOOOOOOO

@DeeGoat has hit 250 TPE

Review : I'm excited to see how the best named goaltender in the VHLM does this season. There's a lot of great potential goaltenders recently like Papa Emeritus and Xavier Booberry, so it would be sick if Menace could join the party. I wouldn't be shocked if your player was a sleeper in your S80 VHL draft and shines for Calgary (your first season stats in only 12 games are very good... 0.906 SV% is a great number for the VHLM, it should only get better as your player improves). For your article it's put together well, maybe an image of your player could grab the reader's eye better but besides that I enjoyed reading. Good luck in Ottawa this season, your team is looking nice and hopefully you can walk away with a Founder's Cup! 9/10

Review : Great idea. In my opinion I believe there isn't much hockey in those listed cities since they rarely get snow or any cold temperatures. But there's still ice rinks around those areas so it is a shame hockey isn't more popular. I like your descriptions of the cities and if I had to pick a favourite it would be Jakarta, the city is so lively and beautiful, I would book a plane ticket to travel and see a game there. And with their population and GDP, there wouldn't be a problem getting fans into a brand new and nice arena. Great work. 9/10.

Williams will be a major asset for any team* This team is fire though. Me and @Alex_J32 on a line

RW - (S79) AJ Williams THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME!!! AJ Williams enters the VHL finally after two full seasons spent in the VHLM. After being drafted to the Los Angeles Stars at fifth overall in S79, Williams decided he was not quite ready for the big leagues. Williams had yet been drafted to a VHLM team yet and wanted to spend another season in the minors to train and be ready for his VHL career. Williams was then selected first overall to the Mississauga Hounds where he would play his full 72 game season and end up playing for a Founder's Cup. Unfortunately the Hounds could not pull through and lost to Miami is 5 games, but nonetheless, Williams put on a playoff show. Leading his team and the league in points - Sits now in the top 10 all time for points in VHLM playoffs. Also sits at number one for shorthanded goals all time in VHLM playoffs. Williams also participated in the most recent WJC tournament with Canada, getting his feet wet in greater competition to be ready for the VHL. He actually showed out, 3 goals and 5 points in 8 games. All three of those goals being game winners. The VHL Williams will play his S80 with the Los Angeles Stars. Williams is the highest TPA ranked rookie going into the season just above former Mississauga teammates, Sigard Petrenko, Vinny Detroit and Corey Kitson, and former S78 Ottawa Lynx teammate, Matty Fire. Williams had some positive thoughts towards Fire in an interview, "It's great to see Matty in the league, I knew he'd make it the second I started playing with him. It's no shock that Matty went second overall this past draft and hopefully we can have some fun competition between us this season for that Stolzschweiger Trophy. Best of luck in Toronto." Williams stated his goal, with an extra season in the VHLM, is to be top rookie of S80. With a smaller rookie class and Williams' skill this season, this goal isn't a crazy one. Williams also has expectations to bring Los Angeles a Continental Cup sometime in his career. He is loving sunny California and plans to make it his home for his whole career, eventually and hopefully becoming the face of the Stars. Williams plays with big names like Merrick, Pines, and Dimmadome, so it is easy to see with a team like that why he would like to get comfy in Los Angeles.

D - L @Moon_50

1. For the media’s ears Williams trains hard and is on the ice lots (h’s and booger sugar). 2. For an S78 defenceman I’d say not that bad. 3. Would be fun but the VHL is where it’s at. 4. I don’t know VHL drama but this is exciting. 5. Jeffrey Pines 6. Spanish, the girls are baddddd
