VSN: VHLE S92  Mid Season Review


 

Disclaimer (stats are from 42 games into the seasons, this was written last week)

Cologne Express 

Standings 1ST | Points 70 points | Record 34-6-2

 

Starting with the Express. No team has really challenged the Express so far this season, with only 8 losses in total and on pace for only 7 more, the express is a great example of a VHLE super team. Being led by Baby Moo Moo(RW) with 58 points, and goalie Clark with a 0.940 SV% it’s hard to say if any team will slow down the Express. It's safe to say the Express are early cup Favourites. 

 

Next Step: Acquire Two more forwards to power up the depth scoring, and a good backup Goalie, Suggested Forwards for the team are LW Alexander Minion (14 goals in 42) from Rome and RW Nico Belique (24 points in 42 games)  from Stockholm.

 

Bratislava Watchmen

Standings 2nd | Points 52 points | Record 25-15-2

 

The Watchmen are 18 points out of first place, The clear Second favourite to win the cup, the only real challenge to the Express this season standing-wise, and on pace for an easy second-place finish, the Watchmen are being led by stars,  Vlad Von Carstein a Defensemen with 40 points and Chris Sanzone a forward with 38 points, and a fantastic netminder in Pipo Popa!

 

Next Steps: Acquire a high-scoring star to boost the offense of the team, Suggested player would be BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson (57 points in 42 Games) from Rome or Logan Ninefingers (49 points in 42 games)

 

Stockholm Vikings

Standings 3rd | Points 45 points | Record 20-17-5

 

9 points ahead of the three teams tied for fourth, the Vikings are the last contending team left in the VHLE, the Vikings have been able to keep ahead of the remaining teams with fantastic teamwork and skill, with players such as Riley Martin, Alexandre Crosby and Guntis Gavilrovs standing out. Martin has 55 points while both Crosby and Gavilrovs had 46 points. Giorgiy Costanzov is a brick wall in the net with an amazing 940 SV%!

 

Next Steps: Acquire a star center, Possible Center who would fit include: Jeid Rohnson (43 points in 42 games) or  Jacob Smith Jr (40 points in 42 games) Both for Vasteras, and finally George Richmond(49 points in 42 games)  from Cologne 

 

Rome Gladiators

Standings 4th | Points 37 points | Record 17-22-3 

 

Currently holding the final playoff spot, Rome has the best duo in the league in BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson and LeBen Aky, who together have 112 points in 42 games. With two solid goalies in the net, Rome's downfall is the lack of depth, while other teams have a lot of defensive depth and three forward lines. Rome has no real depth and it has shown. 

 

Next Steps: Sell the core and rebuild, with how much they are missing from the core to contend, it’s not possible to become deep enough to challenge the watchmen or express without getting rid of everything Rome has, so it’s time to trust the process and rebuild 

 

Vasteras Iron Eagles

Standings 5th | Points 37 points | Record 16-21-7

 

The Vasteras Iron Eagle are one trade away from playoffs, with the depth core of the Iron Eagles, great players such as Jeid Rohnson (43 points in 42 games), and three different players with 40 players, plus a fantastic duo in net with Karl Herzlich, and Devon Giguere. The Iron Eagles will most likely overtake Rome in the standings in the next few days.

 

Next Steps: Acquire a star forward or two, Rome has the duo of Leben Aky, and BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson who have a total of 112 points in 42 games, and good trade with rome could acquire you both the players and put Vasteras Iron Eagles in a great spot for a cup!

 

Oslo Storm 

Standings 6th | Points 37 points | Record 14-19-9

 

Currently, the Storm are last in the VHLE, facing the same problem as Rome, but missing the star duo, Logan Ninefingers has tried to keep his team in the mix (49 points in 42 games) With help from goaltenders David Slezak and Toddly Bobbly both with respectable SV%, the Storm just need a deeper player pool to contend, something they do not have the pieces to acquire.

 

Next Steps:  Sell the core and rebuild, with how much they are missing from the core to contend, it’s not possible to become deep enough to challenge any team in the VHLE in a seven game series, OR If the Storm can keep doing enough to get into OT and win all of there OT games they could make playoffs, but that's a far if.
