-2 Celsius? I'm from Pennsylvania and even I can handle colder weather than that.

Still would be interesting to see. Take the Brats boys at the end of this season and put them against all the old Ottawa players, readjusted for former TPE totals and what not. 
 
Higgins = Fjorsstrom
Brax = Zadorov
Khan < Villeneuve
Nash < Januzaj
Molholt = Broadus
 
Boragina = Slaughter
Dougie > Corvia
Stafford = Valentini
Plaut = Stepanov
Lebedev = Randall
West > Slobban
Hodgson > Hertzberg
 
VanCoughnett = Brookside
 
S23 Ottawa would have had an offensive edge, but worse defensively (despite the two best defensemen of last era). If any edge is to be had in goalies, VanCoughnett might slightly edge me out, at least at this stage of our respective careers (obviously the later part of my career will be much greater than his).
 
On the whole though, I think it'd be an interesting comparison. I think Brats might just edge it out by a bit. 
 
And Randall, if you're reading this, yes I did just compare you to Nikolai Lebedev. Both were "new" members at the time (Noah came in as "Zenith" and acted new to keep up appearances) and started from scratch but kept active. Keep going the way you're going and I see no reason why you can't have a career like that.

Very deep into Season 36, Keiji Toriyama has his New York Americans in second place in North America, just two points behind the Quebec City Meute. Going into the season, they were expected to be no where near the playoffs, but they find themselves ahead of the cup-contending Toronto Legion. This has, without a doubt, been in large thanks to the play of Toriyama, who is in his first season with the Americans. He has been a leader on and off the ice for New York, a young team mostly comprised of rookies and shitty players.
 
On top of leading a young team that came into the season with low expectations to a playoff spot, Toriyama is sporting stats that are quite impressive. He has scored a goal in 100% of the games this season, the only player to have done such. Additionally, he is leading the league in points with two per game and is third in points per 20 minutes behind two insignificant players. Toriyama has sacrificed his body for the Americans, blocking nearly two shots a game to lead the team (impressive, as he is a forward). On top of that, he has taken a league-leading number of hits, which of course I'm going to spin as a positive statistic.
 
The Americans have faced a tough schedule so far, having only faced teams that have won Continental Cups in the past. So yeah, Toriyama is definitely going to win MVP.

We'll see what he decides Greg Regardless where he signs it's good to see former active members make a return. Brings some live to the boards.

Oh hi.

What's wrong with my back?

My dog is superior to your POS

No, you meant to say "used to live"
