VSN Presents: S90 VHLE Season Preview

[Baby Boomer 728]

@leandrofg

Welcome everyone,

 

 

The start of a new season means a new power ranking, and this is what this article will be about. The VHLE only has 6 teams now, so this means that we are going to see more teams that are trying to be competitive. Indeed, this season is going to be a very interesting one as almost all the teams can hope to win the Cup at the end of the season. 

  

#1 Vasteras Iron Eagles 

 

Offense Rank: 1st 

Defense Rank: 1st 

Goalie Rank: 1st 

 

Even if there are a lot of good teams, the Vasteras Iron Eagles are the best of them all. Vasteras simply are the best in the league in every position. They have the best goalie in the league in Olivier Gauthier @fonziGG, they have the best defense lead by Big B @Bigb33 and Hannibal Barca @DreMin15 and the best offense with veterans like Shubham Anand @Will3 and Braeden Panarella @ThatCasual and rookies like Severus Targaryen @Banackock and Axle Gunner @Steve. There is no doubt that the Iron Eagles are going to be really dangerous this season.

  

#2 Cologne Express 

 

Offense Rank: 2nd 

Defense Rank: 2nd 

Goalie Rank: 5th 

 

Just like Vasteras, the Cologne Express are going to be a really good team this season. Indeed, they have the second-best offense and defense in the league with forwards like John Richards @John Cimarno and Keegan Gamble @Keegan Gamble and the defensemen Keno Akara @Keno and Reginald the Dodo @Esso2264 . However, the Express have two young goaltenders that may have some difficulties at the beginning of the season, and this is why they are not going to finish first in the standings this season. 

  

#3 Bratislava Watchmen 

 

Offense Rank: 4th 

Defense Rank: 3rd 

Goalie Rank: 2nd 

 

After missing the playoffs in the last three seasons, the Bratislava Watchmen are finally ready to be competitive again and their goalies WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW @rory and Jonny Elgar @Jonny are going to be important this season. They can also count on a pretty good defense lead by the rookies Walter Fitzroy Jr @Moon and Jebediah Big Ol Doinks in Amish @hylands. The only position that could hurt them is the offense has they don’t have a lot of great forwards like Henry Callahan @dstevensonjr and Otis Boudreaux Jr @Otis Boudreaux Jr. 

  

#4 Rome Gladiators 

 

Offense Rank: 3rd 

Defense Rank: 4th 

Goalie Rank: 4th 

 

Even if the Rome Gladiators are not looking as good on paper as the three first teams, I can really see them compete with them all season long and maybe even cause some surprises. Lead by their captain BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10 and the rookie King Kisslinger @Kisslinger, their offense is looking pretty good and the last winner of the Jake Thunder Trophy, Pope Francis @nurx, will have to play another incredible season to help the team and their goalie Travis Clark @ClarkClanT. 

  

#5 Stockholm Vikings 

 

Offense Rank: 5th 

Defense Rank: 5th 

Goalie Rank: 3rd 

 

The Stockholm Vikings are not going to be a bad team, however they lake the depth forwards and top 2 defensemen to be a really competitive team. Ronald Johnson MacWallace III @RJMW will need to have a really good season offensively if he want to give his team a chance to compete, and Ryan Artyomov @Enorama will also have to be outstanding in the net. 

  

#6 Oslo Storm 

 

Offense Rank: 6th 

Defense Rank: 6th 

Goalie Rank: 6th 

 

Without disrespecting the Oslo Storm, I just don’t see how they can hope to compete this season. Indeed, the team does not really have any elite forward except Ben Dover @Zylen and they don’t even have four defensemen. In addition, their goalie is not going to steal a lot of games this season. We could very well be seeing Oslo pay the cost for their success in previous seasons. 

  

Well, this is all for me, thanks for reading and see you in another VSN article. 

P.S. this is only my opinion, so you may disagree and if it is the case feel free to comment your prediction of the standings in the VHLE this season.
