The Bobs legacy, the sequel Ep.5 (S87 in the VHLM)

[Baby Boomer 753]

Welcome everyone,

 

Bobby Bob just completed his first and last full season of his short career in the VHLM. He completely dominated the league and his team, the Houston Bulls, also had a really good season. In this fifth episode of « The Bobs legacy, the sequel », we will look at the regular season and the playoffs of Bobby Bob and the Houston Bulls.

 

The Houston Bulls had a good start of the season in S87, but not a great one. Indeed, for more than half the season, Houston was third in their conference and between the seventh and the fifth place in the league. At the trade deadline, the Bulls GM (@AJW) and his AGM (@Triller) decided to make a trade that they thought would improve the team for the remainder of the season. They traded Nick Sansoe @Tipskid97 and Shadow Thompson @Kelsey to the Miami Marauders for the goaltender Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123. After this trade, the Houston Bulls were never the same again and they started to play like a top four team in the league and they succeeded to win 45 games, lose the other 27 games including 6 in overtime for a total of 96 points in 72 games. The Bulls finished second in their conference and fourth in the league just before the Mississauga Hounds who also finished with 96 points.

 

Just like his team, Bobby Bob had a great season, and he even earned his place in the record book of the Houston Bulls. Bob finished the season with 30 goals and 82 assists for a total of 112 points in 72 games and a differential of +12. With those stats, Bob finished seventh in the league for the number of points, first among defensemen, first in assist in the league and first for the number of power-play goals with 19. Bobby dominated the league, and this incredible season gave him the honour to have a place in the record book of the Houston Bulls for the fourth most assists in a single season (82).

 

In the playoffs, the Houston Bulls faced the Mississauga Hounds in the first round of the Founder’s Cup and easily won the series in five little games to make it to the second round. The Mexico City Kings were the next opponents of the Bulls and this series was very different than the previous one. Indeed, the series went to game 7 before the Kings won the last game and the semi-final 3-2. After this game, Houston’s season was over, but they can be proud of what they have done, because they were only 2 goals away from the final. In the final, the Ottawa Lynx beat the Mexico City Lynx in five games to win the Founder’s Cup.

 

In these playoffs, Bobby Bob scored 2 goals and added 14 assists for a total of 16 points in 12 games and a differential of +2. Despite having five fewer games played than the other players, Bob is second in points among defenseman and ninth in the league.

 

Bobby Bob’s season was extraordinary, but now it is time for the drafts and the off-season. Where do you think Bobby Bob will end up?
