    Kyl Oferson Junior Review
     
     
    Kyl Oferson is no stranger to hockey, he is the son of @Kylrad and @O4L, however, he was never told how it worked. He played hockey with his good friend Keven Foreskin @Esso2264 on whatever ice they could find in Brunei. It was quite the challenge, but Oferson and his friend were able to occasionally practice, and we're still quite good without the consistency. Who knows what could've become of them had they grown up in a hockey loving nation like Canada, Sweden, or Russia, but they made do. In Brunei they trained their hockey skills, and became good enough to get scouted.
     
    Teams started noticing Foreskin and Oferson though as they got older, and the biggest interest came from VHLM teams. Up until that point the 2 players had never played for a real team, outside of a few bad scrimmages with other Bruneian friends, so when the interest came in for Foreskin they 2 kids were shocked. Keven, being the elder, ended up going to the Minnesota Storm of the VHLM, and when Kyl Oferson got word of how good it was he decided he wanted to go the the VHLM as well. After getting permission from league officials to sign with a team, many teams showed interest, but he ended up going to the Mississauga Hounds, but it was the wrong team shockingly. He meant to go to Minnesota like Keven, but got confused because Bruneian North American geography isn't the best.
     
    However, he is enjoying Missisauga. The people and GM are nice, and the team synergises well as well, not to mention they are second in the league. Oferson was held pointless in his first game vs. the Marlins, that saw the Hounds win 3-2 in the shootout, but after adjusting to pro play Oferson found his game against Vegas, where he notched 2 goals, both coming on the powerplay assisted by Jimothy Frost, and Reegsman on goal 1 and Dick Cheezy on goal #2.
     
    Currently the WJC is going on, and Oferson would've loved to represent Team World, but the paperwork wasn't sent to the WJC Commishioners quick enough. Unfortunate, as it would've been a good experience for the newcomer to play against stiffer competition, but he'll just have to train and improve for next season.
     
    Many fans in Mississauga didn't know who the rookie was, cheering for more hyped names like Ola Vikingstad and Roque Davis, but after watching Oferson light it up the expectations for him are growing. Will Kyl Oferson live up to the hype? Or will he follow a similar path as other hyped prospect Elias Dahlberg?

    1. Where do you see Davos fitting next year?
    Depends on what happens in the offseason, but based on the current moves maybe not as high, but the last playoff spot still should be doable and then anything can happen
    2. What do you think about the location of Davos?
    Don't know much about Davos but Switzerland is pretty cool
    3. Who has the best logo in the league?
    I like Malmos
    4. Is there anyone on the team right now that can make the Hall of Fame? Why?
    i dont know what the standards for VHL HoF is or the careers of anyone on the team but maybe Dragomir since his names cool, and obviously Codrick Past 
    5. Will Davos ever have a breakthrough in the rebuild?
    Well we made the conference finals, granted theres usually a couple teams that are god awful and its a small league so thats not really saying much but i'd consider it a breakthrough in a rebuild.
    6. I guess making the playoffs was a breakthrough? but do you think it'd be better to have Glade and possibly make the Euro Final rather than bowing out against Riga?
    Well we swept Riga soooo, not that we'd need Glade to make it when Riga has @xDParK series was FREE.

    Kylrad reacted to gorlab in Jaguar > Mars for ROTY   
    Salutations my VHL brethren,
     
    I humbly come before you to plead the case of Jet Jaguar over Shane Mars for the S66 Rookie of the Year award.
     
    With a handful of games remaining, and to the untrained eye, Shane Mars appears to have a comfortable lead over Jet Jaguar in terms of raw offensive production, which will sway a lot of voters to award him the S66 ROTY Award, but I have dedicated my VHL.com article to clear the air, and explain why Jet Jaguar is more worthy of the award.
     
    Through 66 games this season, the offensive stat-line does favour Mars at first glance:

     
     
    However, there are several underlying factors that I will briefly highlight, that should give Jaguar a significant boost in the Rookie of the Year voting.
     
    Activity
    spade18 is a VHL GM, and is more-or-less inactive. He refused to trade beloved VHL member pennypenny at the S66 trade deadline, despite numerous requests from the player. This blatant disregard for VHL well-being shouldn't be rewarded with individual player awards, point blank.
     
    Gorlab, however, has been consistently active, has helped Moscow to a historic season in terms of winning, and has shocked the VHL graphic community after returning from inactivity as a sig god, and keeping the memory of VHL's most famous graphics god, boubabi, alive.
     
    Shane Mars created in the week ending January 27th, 2019, and has compiled 383 tpe.
    Jet Jaguar created in the week ending February 24th, 2019, and has compiled 432 tpe, surpassing Shane Mars, who had a full month (4 week) head start.
     
     
    Stat-per-Minute Sim Production
    Shane Mars has seen significantly more minutes of ice-time in the VHL this season, compared to Jaguar. There are a number of factors that may have led to this, but the vast difference in ice-time/opportunity SHOULD see Shane Mars significantly ahead of Jaguar in terms of offensive production, which is not the case.
     
    Through 66 games this season:
    Shane Mars - 1833 total minutes of ice-time with 312 minutes on the power play.
    Jet Jaguar   - 1351 total minutes of ice-time with 226 minutes on the power play. 
     
    This is a difference of 482 minutes of total ice time and 86 minutes of power play ice time.
    - Despite this massive difference in opportunity, Mars has only managed to score 6 more goals, and 1 more assist, than Jet Jaguar.
    - Despite 86 more minutes of power play usage, both Mars and Jaguar have scored the same number of power play points (20) this season.
    - Shane Mars has produced at a respectable 0.94 points-per-20-minutes rate. Jet Jaguar has produced at a league-leading 1.17 points-per-20 rate. 
     
     
    Team Success
    The difference in team success between Seattle (Mars) and Moscow (Jaguar) is fairly significant.
     
    Seattle came into S66 with high hopes, after picking up Shane Mars with the 3rd overall draft pick, and bringing in 500+ tpe players like Samuel Gate and Lando Baxter. 
    Moscow, similarly, had optimism coming into S66, after having a strong draft where they selected Jet Jaguar with the 10th overall pick (and Dimitri Volosenkov with 5th overall) and bringing in 500+ tpe players like Jorgon Weyed and Paolo Nano.
     
    However, the teams have had very different seasons.
     
    The Seattle Bears have failed to live up to expectations, and will finish S66 in the basement of the VHL. Through 66 games, the Bears have managed 20 wins for 48 points, with a goal differential of -72. A resounding failure, partly due to the fact that the "franchise cornerstone" they selected 3rd overall pick at the draft, has failed to live up to expectations.
     
    The Moscow Menace, who finished last season with a dreadful 9 wins, have had a surprisingly successful S66. The Menace have 25 wins for 57 points through 66 games, and a goal differential of -36, compared to last season's -177 goal differential. S66 has seen pretty much all Moscow franchise records shattered, and Jaguar along with his teammates, are looking to lead Moscow to their first playoff birth next season.
     
     
    TL;DR
    - spade18 is inactive scum. gorlab is an active sweetheart.
    - Jaguar has 7 less points than Mars, despite 482 less minutes of ice-time.
    - Please validate me by voting Jet Jaguar for S66 rookie of the year, I'll make you a sig.

    1) Davos has started the season as a .500 team going 6-6-0 in the first 12 games. What do you think of Davos’ beginning of the season?
    Bad, bench Dalhberg didn't we start the season 2-0 with him on the 3rd line, the solution is clear
     
    2) Does the start of the season change your expectations for Davos this year?
    Not really, once the team realizes Dahlberg is the problem we'll be back to winning
     
    3) Rylan Peace is leading the team with 8 goals and 14 points. How important is his continued strong performances to the overall success of the team?   
    important, since i'm assuming no one else is scoring other than him and Dragomir, maybe that Crimson guy, 
     
    5) How do you feel about your personal performance up to this point in the season?
    Bad, i'm shit, Dahlberg crushed my confidence by bullying me 
     
    7) Why do you think Malmo is performing so well?
    They have Jack Lynch the god, carrying Malmo is nothing compared to what he had to do for Ottawa
     
    9) Why do you think Toronto is performing so poorly?
    Because they don't have Jet Jaguar
