VSN Presents: 10-Season VHLE Overview Part 2

[Baby Boomer 736]

@leandrofg

Welcome back everyone, 

 

In the first part of the VHLE’s 10-season overview, we talked about the most important moments of the life of the VHLE, but in this second part, we are going to look at the best GMs, the best and the worst seasons, the best teams, the best players and even some weird records. 

 

The best GMs 

 

If we are talking about the best GMs of the VHLE’s history, we must talk about JB who was GM of the Oslo Storm from S83 to S89. During his time in Oslo, @JB123 won three Renaissance Cup in S85, S86 and S88 and two Thadius Sales Trophy for the top general manager of the regular season in S85 and S87. Another GM who stood out is the GM of the Stockholm Vikings from S80 to S84, @thadthrasher. Sales won the trophy for the top general manager, that would later be named after him, in S80 and S81 and he won the Renaissance Cup in S81. Then, we have @InstantRockstar (S82, S82) and @leandrofg  (S86, S87) who each won a Thadius Sales Trophy and a Renaissance Cup. Finally, I wanted to give an honorable mention to @FrostBeard, because I believe he did not have enough recognition for the team he built when he was a GM for Bratislava in the VHLE.  

 

The best/worst season

 

We saw a lot of very good teams over the last ten seasons in the VHLE, but we also saw some pretty bad ones and we are going to look at them. We are going to start with the best team the VHLE ever saw, and it is the S86 Cologne Express. The Express finished the regular season with the most wins in one season with 58, the less losses in one season with 14 and the most points in one season with 120. They also had the ninth best penalty kill in the history of the VHLE with a percentage of 85.20 and the least goal against in one season with only 141. Now, we are going to look at the worst team of the history of the VHLE, the S87 Rome Gladiators. The Rome Gladiators ended the regular season with the least wins in one season with 2, the most losses in one regular season with 70 and the least points in one regular season with 7. They scored the fourth smallest number of goals in one season with 155 and had the second most goals against with 372. Finally, the S87 Rome Gladiators had the second worst PK with a percentage of 67.60. 

 

The best teams 

  

Name of the team	# of Games	# of Wins	# of Points	# of King’s Cup	# of final appearance	# of Renaissance Cup
Cologne Express	720	441 wins	952 points	3 (S82, S86, S87)	4 (S82, S85, S87, S89)	2 (S87, S89)
Istanbul Red Wolves	720	375 wins	806 points	3 (S81, S84, S89)	2 (S84, S89)	1 (S84)
Bratislava Watchmen	720	366 wins	802 points	0	1 (S83)	1 (S83)
Stockholm Vikings	720	358 wins	777 points	1 (S80)	1 (S81)	1 (S81)
Vasteras Iron Eagles	720	331 wins	717 points	1 (S83)	3 (S80, S83, S84)	1 (S80)
Rome Gladiators	720	322 wins	716 points	0	5 (S80, S81, S82, S86, S88)	1 (S82)
Oslo Storm	648	311 wins	674 points	1 (S85)	4 (S85, S86, S87, S88)	3 (S85, S86, S88)
Geneva Rush	648	304 wins	664 points	1 (S88)	0	0

 

When you look at the chart above, you can clearly see who the best teams were in the regular season and in the playoffs. In the regular season, far ahead, we have the Cologne Express with their 441 wins and 952 points in 720 games. After, we have the Istanbul Red Wolves in second place with 375 wins and 806 points in 720 games. Both Istanbul and Cologne won three King’s Cups for the winner of the regular season. In the playoffs, the best team was definitely the Oslo Storm with four finals appearances and three Renaissance Cups. However, the Rome Gladiators with their five finals appearances and their one Renaissance Cup and the Cologne Express with four finals appearances and two Renaissance Cups are not too far behind. 

  

The best season by player  

 

After talking about the best teams, we are going to look at the best players to ever play in the VHLE. When you look at the best seasons by a player, you immediately notice that S80 and S81 were seasons with a lot of goals scored, so a lot of the records are from these seasons. Indeed, the four players who scored the most goals, assists and points in one season did it in S80 or S81, Brussels Sprout @Liberty_Cabbage (62) with Oslo in S81, Kyosti Karjalainen @UnkemptCL4PTP (57) with Cologne in S81, Yun Chiang @nurx (57) with Oslo in S81 and Braxton Hunter @dshervill (52) with Vasteras in S81 scored the most goals in one season. Zeljko Ranogajec @ColeMrtz currently holds the record for the most assists in one season, as they recorded 103 assists in S81 with the Cologne Express. Three players had a season of more than 120 points in the history of the VHLE and it is Brussels Sprout (130) with Oslo in S81, Kyosti Karjalainen (128) with Cologne in S81 and Omi Aberg @osens (121) with Stockholm in S80. These are the players that are currently leading the league in the offensive categories. 

 

The best goalies 

 

If we are talking about the best goalies, we must talk about the best one the VHLE ever saw, Orion D H Chiester IX @Donno100. Chiester IX played with the Bratislava Watchmen from S80 to S86 and won the trophy for the best goaltender of the regular season, that would later be name after his name, three times in a row in S84, S85 and S86. In 382 career games, he recorded 210 wins, 116 losses and 46 overtime losses. He also had a save percentage of 0.923%, an average of goals against of 2.63 and 25 shutouts. The VHLE also saw some pretty good goalies like Justin Lion @Emperor_Fun who played with the Cologne Express from S87 to S89 and won the Orion D H Chiester IX Trophy in S89. He ended his VHLE career with a save percentage of 0.930 and an average of goals against of 2.10. There is also Geoff Bezos @Quik that played with the Stockholm Vikings and the Istanbul Red Wolves in S85 and S86 respectively. He finished his career with a save percentage of 0.934%, an average of goals against of 2.19 and an Orion D H Chiester Trophy in S86.

For a brief moment, Chiang and Janser were arguably the best forward duo in the VHLE

You know it's funny. I came into the VHL disliking the Europa Conference, saying shit like how it didn't deserve to be here. But after everything that's happened? I fucking love Europe.
