Wylde Wylde West

In the western part of Canada, Strasmore is celebrating Wyld-ly will his teammates. 

 

Somehow Strasmore was not only nominated for an award for his last season's performance, but he won it with the BOG voting 11-0 in his favour! 

 

The Jake Wylde Trophy is a relatively new award and is awarded to the league's top Defensive Defenseman. The award was created in Season 59. It is named after Jake Wylde, a Hall of Famer who excelled at both ends of the ice, with 2,001 hits and 915 shots blocked along with 560 points in an eight-season career spanning S38 to S45. 

 

This is the first time since he good friend, teammate, and powerplay linemate @Rhynex Entertainment won it in Season 83. 

 

Johnson had career stats in points hits and blocked shots and even though he was happy with his defensive play - he never ever even expected to be considered for the honour. He had a statline of 7G 56A 63P +2 321H 173SB. Very decent defnesively and has mentioned several times he wants to maintain those numbers at the very least. 

 

Directly comparing himself in hits and shots blocked to Wylde, Strasmore has finished 4 seasons - half of what Wylde's career length was and has amassed 894 hits and 560 blocked shots. Extrapolate that rate and he's looking at 1788 hits and 1120 shots blocked - pretty comparable - IF he can keep up the pace!

A Freudian Typo, perhaps?
