My Random VHL Thoughts - S82 - Part 1

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• Was going to write this about 2 hours ago, but got distracted on Youtube watching James Hoffmann videos about burr coffee grinders and cheap/moderately expensive espresso machines....so this is going to be even less researched and off the cuff than usual.
• Oslo so far is doing average, and Wumbo is doing average. I'd guess the Storm are somewhere around "hockey .500" and my stats are relatively average. I've had a couple of games that were good, and a couple of games around a .900 save percentage.
• Warsaw seems to be doing average as well. I'd guess we're a little above hockey .500 considering the last sim was 3-0. Our roster is a little light so I'm kind of surprised by that, but that seems to be the case around the league this season.
• My real quick point on the light rosters is that this is an issue that comes up from time to time due to the cyclical nature of some of these draft classes but is now more pronounced due to the VHLE. I'd wager it's something we'll take a look at in the BoG but I'd caution against any moderate/large changes without multiple seasons of numbers to draw conclusions from.
• I did the new game recap PT earning for the first time and it was pretty fun and easy. I think it's a mroe "fair" way to earn TPE than the old method of trivia, which was basically finding a buddy or LR that posted the answers for you. I'd definitely recommend this method of earning TPE to anyone who needs a way to cap and doesn't feel like reviewing or doing a fan590 or whatever these have been called since like S30.
