What Martinez's stats mean as someone who doesn't really care about hockey


Recommended Posts

Yeah so I'm gonna keep this short but still long enough to make some point. Of course I haven't been the most active this season thanks to outside circumstances and whatnot, but I have been trying my best. Anyways, let's begin;

 

First of all, let's look at the only time he's been in the playoffs. S97-S98, with 6 games, he's averaged less than 1 point a game with 5 points getting 2 goals and 3 assists on 25 shots in both seasons. That's pretty good from what I know, at least it's decent enough for what he is; an offensive player. He's someone who's supposed to remain offensive, and from what people have told me, defensive stats tend to help offensive stats the best, so you usually want to be all around. For right now, he's more offensive, but it's fine.

 

His offensive stats kind of shine, I mean compared to other players around the league like Logan Ninefingers during their 2 season VHLM stay. Ninefingers did have a more successful playoff run, but Martinez still has the main course of the VHL; the regular season.

 

I'll be comparing myself to Ninefingers again, and then to someone else since it's not fair to just compare to one person. Probably someone in my class of S98

 

Martinez started in S96 and was drafted by Mexico City 15th in S97. That was fine, he didn't really show anything, so he had work to do. Clearly D.C. saw something, and that's kind of pushing me forward. Anyways, stats:

 

Currently, Martinez's VHLM stats look like this: S96-S98, he's gotten 120 points on 450 shots. 69 (nice) of those points being assists while the rest of the 51 are regular goals. He's gotten 25 goals in both of his seasons in Mexico, and 256 hits on people as well. Comparing this to Ninefingers' only full season (combined with other stats), who had 158 points on 604 shots with 64 of those points being goals and the remaining 88 points going towards asssists, and Martinez is progressing great, I'd say. Of course, nothing like Ninefingers whatsoever, but it's still something to think about. Similarly, Catia Gonclaves played one full season in the VHLM but had 94 games played. In those 94 games, they achieved 425 shots and got 87 points. Of those, 40 were goals and the remaining 47 were counted as assists. While not exactly the same build as Martinez, they're what most people would look at as someone who'd be a good defensive comparison, I guess. They've got more of a defensive switch to them, compared to Martinez. Hits wasn't as important, but Gonclaves had 139 hits on other players while Ninefingers had 303 hits on players. I assume hits means physical. If not, then let me know.

 

Now, what do I take away from all of this (mainly to pad out the word count)? Well, Martinez is growing. Not at a superstar level, really, but that's all on me. Instead, he's growing to be a decent enough player offensively and defensively that, I think when he retires, I won't have any regrets.

Glad that you can put out a media spot.  I have found this season really difficult for staying active.  Not sure why but it has been later and later for me to put out the required pieces to get my TPE.  I can't image there being an actual reason why I can't do things and still try to do things. Keep up with things do your best and try to enjoy things.  I give this article an 8 out of 10.  Thanks for being honest.

That's the most crucial part about your first gen player. And as your GM I will do my best to make you enjoy Martinez's career
