Highest ratio by a player with.. -over 1000 hits: Da'Brickasha O'Neal (1205 hits, 270 taken) 4.46:1 @nibbz oh lol didn't realize he had an account on here -over 1500 hits: Till Lindemann (1805 hits, 504 taken) 3.58:1 @der meister -over 2000 hits: Edwin Encarnacion (2527 hits, 838 taken) 3.02:1 @YEAH!stlemania On the other end of things, Thomas O'Malley had just 50 hits and 2016 taken. So for every hit, he had 40.32 taken. Ouch! @Green Phil Rafter was actually the next highest in terms of hits taken to hits, with 80 hits and 2237 taken. That's 27.96 hits taken per hit delivered. @Phil

Shouldn't you be rooting for the team you'll have a better chance against?

Hey @JardyB10, you think New York's goalie could get an update too?

yep

NYA NYA COL COL

nya 2-1

As you may or may not know, I have a player on the New York Americans. Her name is Diana Maxwell and, while she did have a much better third season than her first two, I'm still relatively disappointed in what she has accomplished thus far. If the Americans could win a Cup, that would be a great pick-me-up as far as her and my interest in her career are concerned. We finished second overall in the standings behind the Seattle Bears, so we are definitely capable. The Americans wound up with a winning record against every other team, being the only ones to do so (because obviously only one team, if any, can have a winning record against every other team). What surprises me about the Americans is that we finished the season with the fewest goals allowed. Ilya Kopralkov finished the season with a 0.920 save percentage, which isn't terrible, but it did put him at sixth among qualifying goalies. Going into the season, though, defense and goaltending looked like a relative weakness for New York. New York has the highest face-off percentage in the league, which shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. They have four of the top eight players in terms of face-off percentage on their roster. Additionally, the Americans have the highest puck control percentage, at 58.9% (Calgary and Seattle are second and third with 57.1% and 55.2%, respectively). Some more numbers to throw at you: the puck is in the New York offensive zone 49.6% of the time and in their defensive zone just 30.5% of the time. These are both best in the league, with Calgary against coming second in both. New York spent over a third of their game time (37.2%) with control of the puck in the offensive zone. I don't know that there is any significance or what we can draw from this, but I needed something to write about. for mist4ke

It was at first, but then they signed Michael Burch and Pavel Varushkin a couple days later.

To be honest knowing this won't really affect my decision. Where I am drafted, how the VHLM draft turns out, and whether or not Yukon wins this season will all play a role in my decision.

couldn't find a shorter clip

Exactly as planned. We get the win but Saskatoon gets a point in the standings.

lol third seed isn't bad either tho you get to pad your stats vs Bern edit: I'd rather beat you so hard you drop to fourth seed though that way I can dodge you in the playoffs until the finals (if we both would make it)

Oslo had our number at the beginning of the season but we've won a couple since. Hopefully we can keep it going against them.

Go Davos!

Okay I wasn't sure if we ever did finalize a rule regarding that and wasn't going to be bothered to look it up for this.

Up until recently, I have always had the intention of keeping mist4ke in the VHLM during S53. Even before he was created, I had a plan for Yukon that focused on us winning in S53 by gathering several players in the S52 draft who we would have for multiple seasons. mist4ke was meant to be one of those players. However, given the influx of goalies creates, I'm not so sure anymore. I will definitely be able to earn enough TPE to be over 200 for the start of the season, but the idea would be that I just stop earning TPE at 199 until next season starts. I'm not sure exactly how much TPE I would be sacrificing to stay down, but if we estimate that after the current week, we'll have three more weeks, that would be something like 28 more weekly TPE for me. Then there is trivia payout which will likely be another 5, probably just 1 for VHFL, 5 more for off-season career stats update, 20 for achievement tracker, 10 for training camp, an estimated 6 for awards+predictions.. that's somewhere around 75 more TPE to add to my current 150. Given that paying in the VHLM would give me another season of a VHLM bonus and practice facility, I'd actually end up gaining back slightly more than the 25 TPE that I lost. Of course, I'd also lose out on a season of playing in the VHL. Still, the sacrifices to stay down were never really a big issue for me. What now has me reconsidering is that there are so many new goalies. Right now, here are some names Astrid Moon (likely VHL in S53) Jacob (possibly VHL in S53) Torstein Ironside Markus King Vernon Von Axelberry Chet Manley Revan Gotze Ehh, I guess it won't be quite as crowded as I imagined. Add me to that group and you have seven goalies (assuming Moon in the VHL and Jacob in the VHLM). for Maxwell

This is correct, I missed Varushkin. I know for sure that I looked at it; I must have been distracted by something and never got back to it.

Ironside? More like Tryornside amirite?

Unless I've missed something, this would indeed put Davos under.

Oh, yeah looking at it, I think this is another thing Green is going to get. Because he hasn't been lucky enough already.
