S94 Mid-Season Review

[CaptainSB 117]

42 of the 72 games of season 94 have been complete. Now what have we learned from the 58% of the season so far? 

 

(1) The Four Contenders
This season do to various circumstances has resulted in the league being a bit top heavy. You have really a tier of the top four teams grouped together. Tier 1 will be Halifax which has been the top team all season and the most consistent. Tier 2 is clustered by Mexico City, Saskatoon, and Miami. Everyone else in tier 3 while Las Vegas gets is own tier in Tier 3. 

It looks to be a four team race with Halifax looking likely to meet any of the 3 in the Finals.

 

(2) Top Tier Performance Standouts
You have Robin Sierra of Halifax and Jacob Longstreet of Saskatoon on top of points and goals. Jerry Box and Samsayz I-Smell are alone at top in assists. LaClapbomb Hitstick IV is way ahead in hits given while Miles Bryant and Samsayz I-Smell are neck and neck in shots blocked. Dustin Wolf of Mexico leads the league with a whopping 93.4% of saves, Jon Webber III of Halifax easily leads in wins and shutouts.

 

(3) Number 1 Draft Pick Playing Like a 1 OA Pick
Ahsoka Tano is making a strong case as the best defensemen, MVP and potential 3 draft 1 OA pick. Tano leads all defensemen in total points at 62, tied for 5th in assists and 9th in shots blocked showing an all-around game that GMs salivate over. Tano looks like a deserving VHLM 1st overall pick and would not surprise any if she goes 1 in both the upcoming E and L draft picks.

 

(4) Strong Class of S95 Draftees
This class already has 8 players over the 200 tpe threshold with 4 more who should be maxed next week. You have very strong veteran users that make up this group with goalie Roger Eagles leading the pack at a whopping 308 tpe. This group of 12 consists of 2 goalies, 5 wings, and 2 defensemen with all but one player who shall not be named being vets of the league. I feel bad for teams that traded out of this draft for prior or future draft picks as this group is such a strong class.

 

(5) New Users Haven't Met Expectations 
There has been 26 new creates this class and unfortunately many seem to be a bit struggling to earn or have been eaten by that pesky Fog in the discord. With only 2 of these players at 100+ tpe is a bit worrisome but both being in Mexico City means the GM of the Kings is doing a fantastic job engaging the group.

 

(6) Dylan Sighting
Oh and then there is the perennial multi character user Dylan who makes the league interesting as always. He is back to the minors though how long will be debatable. Also take note when you have a Dylan sighting as he is on a quest to have every minors team retire his number.
