Bridgers - A Look Back at the Welfare Seasons Pt 1 - S81

[mediocrepony 1,216]

As you may know, I haven't been active for a while. I've been mainly a welfare player as I've had other online interests that took up most of my time. Now that my attention span of a three year old has moved back onto the VHL, I'm going to write a mini-series about my last five seasons with Phoebe Bridgers. This part will be slimmer than others, as the portal no longer stores the final S81 stats.

 

PART 1 - VHLM SEASON 81 -

 

Phoebe Bridgers signed with the Mississauga Hounds fresh off of leg 1 of her Reunion tour, which hit 26 cities across the US. Deciding to play as a left winger (her political position outside of sport as well), Bridgers joined the powerhouse Hounds due to their impressive placement in the standings and the promise of first line minutes. With the backing of a strong, VHL regular-laden squad featuring Kakapo Bushtit, Vasile Lamb, and James Teekirque, Bridgers posted a middling 11 - 22 - 33 season in 57 games, not terrible for a rookie year but also not fantastic. The playoffs saw the Hounds being disappointingly knocked out in 6 games in the quarterfinals, losing out to the San Diego Marlins. Bridgers put up an impressive 8 points in 6 games, yet that clearly was not enough to overcome the surging Marlins, who fell in seven games to the Lynx.
