  1. Heck even Unassisted could be a good candidate for most improved. From Koponen's shadow to MVP. But I'm just looking at New York, I'm sure there are others out there who are in the discussion.
  2. Severin von Karma was a fine player. Not a superstar but he wasn't expected to be. Not right to blame him for Stockholm's struggles. ps I know that's not what you were saying I was just making a joke
  3. I know, but that wasn't my point at all. I just found it minutely interesting that it showed the affiliated team. I recognize that this has literally no meaning for us.
  4. The Yukon Rush offer $2 million @Cope
  5. It's not useless. Less useful sure, but some of those stats are worth looking at.
  6. fyi that's because Threeencaracion hasn't played enough to qualify ALSO THAT PAGE ISN'T THE POINT OF THIS THE POINT IS THAT IT LISTS THE VHLM AFFILIATES IN THE SECOND TABLE
  7. I don't know if you are aware of this neat page in the index, All Player Stats, but it's neat. It's helpful for me when I want to transfer the player stats into a spreadsheet. Just a bit ago, I was doing such in order to supply YEAH! with a compilation of 2016 stats. Just like if you're looking at the Team Scoring page, there are so many stats that it has to be split into two tables. In the All Player Stats page, though, next to the player name, it lists their team in parentheses. In the second table of stats, however, the team that it lists are the VHLM teams. Previous seasons in which we've had the All Player Stats page have listed the VHL teams in both tables. idk just something I noticed and felt like sharing I guess
  8. So would you like me to make a spreadsheet of overall stats (S47 to present) for you tomorrow morning?
  9. I've had some five-or-fewer save shutouts and it's just like.. I don't even feel good about those games.
  10. Keith Sampson giving us that boost we need for the end of season push.
  11. (for mist4ke) Right now in the VHLM, mist4ke and Jacob are tied for the lead in save percentage at 0.911. mist4ke has a better GAA (1.7 to 1.85) and Jacob has one more shutout (13 to 12). It's hard to think that, with just a handful of games remaining, any other goalie will put up a fight for top goalie in the VHLM. I have a particularly vested interested in this race, as mist4ke is not only my team's goalie, but he is my goalie. Jacob, meanwhile, is Higgins' goalie. And I do not want him to win top goalie. Here is the reason I won't vote for Jacob: for what I presume was the first 42 games of the season, his attributes were very incorrect. He had several attributes above 35 (I think in total, it was 120 or 130 points applied) when he actually should have had all 35's. I suppose I don't know for sure if it was all season up to that point, but that's when I noticed. And that's when Higgins updated the file to put him at the 35's where he belonged. The fact that this was just a large discrepancy is why I will not vote for Jacob. Yes, I understand that it may ultimately mean I vote for my own player despite having worse stats than another, but for over half of the season, Jacob's attributes in the sim were far off of where they should've been, and it's because Higgins "may have overshot the attributes by a bit."
  12. Not a good sim for Astrid Moon.
  13. lol I don't understand why Jacob isn't playing like shit wtf
  14. FOR MIST4KE CHRISTMAS DOUBLES Better 2016: Hans Wingate or Edwin Reencarnacion? I don't necessarily mean to steal of some @YEAH!stlemania's thunder with this article, but I might do so just a little bit; but I'll only be comparing two players, both of whom ended their careers after Season 50. These two players are obviously Hans Wingate and Edwin Reencarnacion, as you can tell by the title. I'll only be comparing their performances in 2016 (or, in other words, S47-S50). My reason for striking this debate in particular is that, when YEAH! asked for opinions on which player had the best 2016, several people mentioned Hans Wingate. No one, however, mentioned Edwin Reencarnacion, who was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside Wingate. There's no doubt that Wingate is a more household name, so I'm not surprised he came to find quicker than Reencarnacion. However, we're speaking strictly 2016, and some of Wingate's earlier success (S44 Continental Cup, S44 and S46 Shaw Trophies) factor into his overall notoriety. While Reencarnacion was no slouch during his first few seasons, his stats and accolades just don't stand up to those of a young Wingate. So ultimately I can understand why Wingate's name came up and Reencarnacion's didn't, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Wingate did have a better 2016. That's why I'm here to look at. I'll start by looking at Wingate. Overall, throughout those four seasons, his regular season stats were pretty good. It's worth noting, however, that they were not the best. Greg Clegane was a better goalie than Wingate in just about every category. Wingate was second in wins (179), save percentage (0.926), goals against average (1.78), and shutouts (42). He was the second best despite a very poor (and not even just for his standards) Season 47 in which he had a 0.910 save percentage, which had him sixth out of seven user goalies. He bounced back from a poor start to the year in Season 48, eventually winning the Continental Cup and being named playoff MVP. Of course he was a member of the three-peat Toronto Legion, giving him three championships for the year. In his final season, he won the Scotty Campbell, Brett Slobodzian, and Aidan Shaw Trophies. Hans Wingate (left) and Edwin Reenarnacion (right) won a cup together with the Toronto Legion in S50. Now to Edwin Reencarnacion. Unlike Wingate, Reencarnacion's stats were not the second best at his position (among all skaters, really); rather, they were the best. From S47 to S50, Reencarnacion was the league's premier goal scorer, scoring 210 times. Additionally, he was first in power play goals (44), second in points (424), second in game-winning goals (47), and sixth in assists (214). What ultimately separates him from someone like Max Molholt (who won more championships) is that Reencarnacion was a physical player as well, racking up the seventh most hits (971). He also had the third highest face-off percentage. Reencarnacion's trophy cabinet is very comparable to that of Wingate's when looking at just 2016; he won two Continental Cups (S47, S50) and a Daisuke Kanou Trophy (S47). Like Wingate, he had an MVP season (S48) in which he was also the Most Outstanding Player. In that season, he won the Mike Szatkowski (Most Points), Kevin Brooks (Most Goals), and Scott Boulet (Top Two-Way Forward) Trophies. He had previously won another Kevin Brooks Trophy in S47 as well. I think up to this point, everything that I've looked at suggests to me that Reencarnacion had a better 2016 than Hans Wingate. Wingate's edge in championships does make it close, but Reencarnacion was a better player when compared to his peers than Wingate was. Reenarnacion was also a more consistent player, while one of Wingate's four seasons was actually pretty bad. However, I haven't yet looked directly into their playoffs performances. While I don't plan on going to in depth on them because frankly, I've already spent more time on this than I would've liked, I will say that Wingate's numbers are, at quick glance, more impressive. Typically though, goalies do tend to put up better numbers in the playoffs. Ultimately I don't actually think either of the other two had a clear-cut better 2016, but I'd probably give Wingate a slight edge due to his post-season successes (not that Reencarnacion wasn't also successful in the playoffs).
