VSN Presents: VHLM Power Rankings for Weeks 3 & 4

 

Hello, and welcome to this VSN Presentation of the VHLM’s Power Rankings for Weeks 3 & 4 of the S90 Regular Season! A lot has changed over the course of these last two weeks from our previous power rankings, and with us passing the halfway mark of the season, we have much to cover once more! Let’s get into it!

 

SD_TeamBar_QrXOO7G.png

1st: San Diego Marlins +1

32-6-1, 65 Points | 1st in Western Conference, 1st in League Standings

 

First place in our new rankings, we have San Diego! A surprising jump, as Mississauga was projected to be in this position in the last rankings. They’ve jumped tremendously in the standings, their players are on fire production wise, and they’ve won decisively as they carry a 7 game winning streak as of writing this. The team finds itself on the backs of Tyrece the beast @beanhead420 & Eric White Jr @Mysterious_Fish having historic seasons, placing themselves 2nd and 4th in overall league scoring respectively. Should they maintain their level of production, San Diego might very well run away with the regular season title should their win streak continue!

2nd. Mississauga Hounds -1

32-8-1, 65 Points | 1st in Eastern Conference, 2nd in League Standings

 

Moving on, we have last week's first place ranked team, the Mississauga Hounds! Had it not been for the absolute tear San Diego found itself on, the Hounds would definitely be first ranked once more. The only difference between them and the Marlins is just recent success. Mississauga won big early and started to slow down a bit entering the midway section, while San Diego did the opposite and started turning it on harder at the same time. They’re still carried by the elite play of Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard, who’s having himself a historic season too, as he finds himself atop the individual leaders mountain in points, assists, and shots. A one man army will definitely do that for a team, and their place in our 2nd spot of the rankings is well deserved for the position he’s helped get the Hounds to.

3rd: Saskatoon Wild +3

27-10-4, 58 Points | 2nd in Western Conference, 3rd in League Standings

 

Next up, a surprise jump for sure, but a welcome one, we have the Saskatoon Wild. From their early season struggles, they’ve definitely turned a new corner and are now exploding in production. Similar to San Diego, they’re on a BIG winning streak, and has contributed greatly to their jump in the rankings. Jorji Costova @Hybrid1486 & recent addition Joshua Schwarzer @Velevra lead the way in point production over these last two weeks, and with their strong two-way play, they’re very capable of keeping this ranking moving into the latter half of the season. Time will tell if their place here was a fluke, or the start of something greater.

4th: Miami Marauders =

24-14-3, 51 Points, 2nd in Eastern Conference, 5th in League Standings

 

Up next in the power rankings, we have the Miami Marauders. One of only two teams who haven’t moved in their rankings, that doesn’t mean they haven’t improved greatly in terms of their individual performances. Sebastian Thunder @Matt thunder, Oden Bell @WhiskyJack, Joakim Norden @Kaldolmar & Lionel Collberg @Masu Chan are all approaching the 60 point mark, which, when you have that amount of well distributed high levels of production across the team, they’re a dangerous team for anybody to play against. Should they maintain this production as well, watch them move up in the standings and rankings with ease in the coming weeks.

 

Aces_Bar.png

5th: Las Vegas Aces -2

26-10-5, 57 Points | 3rd in Western Conference, 4th in League Standings

 

A surprising drop, now at the halfway mark we have the Las Vegas Aces. Despite their standing in the league and elite scoring from the likes of Stinky @taylorherd and Co, they find themselves struggling with consistency. They can go from 6-0 wins to 1-0 losses on the same day, and until they find their stride and catch fire a bit in their consistency, the Aces might struggle to be a deep team come playoff time. Should their waivers and rostered players continue to grow their game, however, that may be enough to win back some games and climb up to elite status.

 

HFX_bar.png

6th: Halifax 21st +4

16-21-4, 36 Points | 3rd in Eastern Conference, 6th in League Standings

 

Arguably the biggest surprise of this iteration of the rankings, we have the Halifax 21st at 6th. From their last place position in both the rankings and standings at the beginning of the season, and improving to a near .500 record after starting 1-10-2 is simply incredible. While they still haven’t greatly improved their depth, their high end talent in Jeid Rohnson @TopTiddee2 and Theo Allard @InstantRockstar are helping to keep the team afloat, and seem to actually be raising the team out of the grave a little bit. If this is a good thing remains to be seen, however, as if they don’t make anything happen for the playoffs, they might have lost their chance at getting a good set of draft picks to rebuild with fully. Time will tell whether this awakening actually brings good or bad fortune upon the franchise, of course.

 

PHI_bar.png

7th: Philadelphia Reapers -2

17-21-1, 35 Points | 4th in Eastern Conference, 7th in League Standings

 

Pushing on, we have the Philadelphia Reapers. They’re an interesting case, as when you look at the standings they find themselves in, and the scoring and stats of their players, finding them here is quite peculiar. They’ve struggled to stay above .500 since our first rankings, and despite having a pretty decent team all around, they’ve just struggled to make it work and find consistent wins. Caring Bear @thecaringbear & Behrens Minion @UnknownMinion lead the way on a team that’s got elite scoring across the entire roster. If they can just find consistent wins, perhaps a waiver player or two as well, they’ll find their way into deep playoff contention with their already rather stacked roster.

 

MC_Bar.png

8th: Mexico City Kings =

13-25-3, 29 Points | 4th in Western Conference, 8th in League Standings

 

The last of the two non moving teams in the rankings, we have Mexico City. As the ranking and their standings suggest, not much has changed with this roster or the season they’ve had thus far. The blueline still carries the roster, but they’re only able to do so much to keep the Kings heads above water. They sorely lack an elite scoring forward, and it’s burning them as they bolster one of the lowest GF stat in the league. If Mina @Baozi & Free Gorlab @eaglesfan036 can turn on the defensive game, they can definitely move up, but until that happens, they will continue to find themselves down here in our rankings.

 

Ottawa_Bar.png

9th: Ottawa Lynx -2

8-27-5, 21 Points | 5th in Eastern Conference, 9th in League Standings

 

Nearing the end of our rankings, we have the Ottawa Lynx. They still suffer from the issues from earlier in the season, that being a lack of depth or star players to take over games for them. They have a handful of decent PPG scorers on their team in Dan jr @Danzo, Thijs Mooij @Thijs & Ivan Ivanov @KmaddFPS, but until they get a handful more players to fill holes in the roster, they will struggle to get out of the basement in the standings.

 

HOU_bar.png

10th: Houston Bulls -1

7-29-4, 18 Points | 5th in Western Conference, 10th in League Standings

 

Concluding our rankings of Week 3 & 4 of the VHLM Regular season, we have the Houston Bulls. Similarly to Ottawa, they have the same struggles they held at the beginning of their season, and it’s hurt them badly. No defensive players and only natural left wingers as their forwards isn’t usually a winning strategy, and with Luna Everdeen @Dee being the only player exceeding expectations on the team, they have a long rebuild ahead of them that they’ll need to think long and hard on as we push towards the trade deadline.


 

This concludes the VSN Week 3 & 4 Power Rankings for the VHLM Regular season! Lots of changes, and we’re only halfway through! Thank you for reading this presentation of the VSN, this has been Marcus Svedberg, signing off!

Man what a great power rankings. I had talked to some people while they were dead last by a lot of points that Halifax would become a team to make the post-season. Im not too surprised about the Halifax jump but I am shocked about the Wild jump
