Unfortunately thanks to Simon T being a janky Frenchman, Hits and PIMs are inextricably linked. You can’t have one without the other.

 

Being a dickhead ice cream driver is life goals.

That's kind of a hockey sims in general issue. EHM has largely the same issue, as did FHM for what little I played of it. You could technically get players with lots of hits and low(ish) PIMs in EHM. But it required a very specific combination of attributes that were impossible to scout, and even then you have the bigger issue in sim games, which is also generally true. That non-physical players take too few PIMs, thus making physical players even bigger goons by default. Cause when you have finesse forwards get like 0-20 PIMs a season, even a "low" PIM checker with like 60 PIMs is still a massive liability by relative comparison.

"Invisible on the Leaderboards"

Sadly that's just kinda what can happen to really solid two-way defensemen on good teams. We have the same thing going on with @JigglyGumballs player in Vegas. He's *almost* on a lot of leaderboards this regular season. Only actually making it on +/- due to being on our 2nd line that has like an average of +70 or something like that. But he's just barely not up there in everything else. Which realistically means he's a really good, well-rounded, player. But that just means no leaderboard appearances. Which is a bit demoralizing.

"I don't know what the likelihood of coming back from that is"

With the power of hindsight. I'd say it's roughly 100%.

Started out sounding like it would be wholesome...Then it took a turn!

"Famous Writer Ctots"

Then you'd have to deal with the stress of writer's block and all the expectations from your previous work forcing you to continue exploring the same characters and themes over and over no matter how sick of them you get.
