Harumpf 313 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Harumpf Honors Former Wingman Zoidberg Sachimo Zoidberg speeds down the ice like only a Zoidberg could do. After hearing of the retirement of his former world class line mate Sachimo Zoidberg, Harumpf initially took it pretty hard but now has accepted it and it's time to reflect on his greatness. Zoidberg still has 1 final season to play so it's not over yet, but Harumpf is sad to see such a great career get cut short. Harumpf knows a thing or two about being short, but in this case it's not an advantage. Zoidberg is and was an amazing player with a hall of fame projection if he'd continued on for a full career. Zoidberg was one of the most amazing goal scorers you'd ever seen. He could light the lamp like only few could. His blistering shot accompanied by his amazing speed had him as one of the league's most dangerous players. Zoidberg got off to an incredible start in his young career in the VHLM. In season 40 when he was paired up with bulbous playmaker Oskars Harumpf, the two instantly clicked and set the league on fire. Zoidberg had a ridiculous 113 goals, 77 assists and 190 points. Yes, 113 goals in 72 games. Completely insane. Harumpf had 34 goals and 130 assists for 164 points in the same 72 games. Two epic seasons which led directly to a cup for the Bratislava Watchmen in S40. In the playoffs the most epic line of all time was created when Harumpf-Zoidberg-3Moons were paired up, the rest is history. That season Zoidberg went on to win multiple awards including the Sakic Trophy for most goals, the Dion Trophy for most points and the Esposito Trophy for Playoff MVP. Not a bad haul for Zoidberg and his pro career had not even started yet. Zoidberg was drafted 5th overall by the Toronto Legion in the S40 Draft, he went on to play for them in the S41 season and had an incredible year. Zoidberg put up 54 goals and 57 assists for 111 points as a rookie. He was also +11. Needless to say Zoidberg won Rookie of the year that season and deservingly so. In his sophomore season, Zoidberg had another huge year putting up 47 goals, 51 assists and 98 points while improving his rating to +50! Now that is pretty darn impressive. Season 43 was another great season by Zoidberg but you could tell this year he missed his old pal Harumpf a little as he only had 38 goals, but still led the team in points with 88 and racked up 50 assists and a +23 rating. Every year he was the most dangerous player in the ice for Toronto and one of the elite goal scorers and point producers in the league. Zoidberg has 297 points in 216 games in the VHL and will surely finish with at least a point per game pace in his final season. When it's all said and done Zoidberg will have well over 350 points in his 4 year pro career, probably more like 375 in 288 games. Those are some jaw dropping numbers and if he continued at that pace would definitely have to be considered one of the all-time greats. Factor in the possibility of re-uniting with Harumpf at some point and his numbers would be even better. Unfortunately we will never know how great Zoidberg's full career could have been or how many cups him and Harumpf could have won together, but Harumpf is thankful they got to play together in the VHLM and that he was able to see his old line mate have great success in the VHL. One thing is for certain, Zoidberg will always be remembered for coining the phrase "Harumpf'd" and his little bulbous buddy will never forget it. Thanks Zoidberg, enjoy your final season and best of luck with your new player. No doubt another legend in the making.

Thanks Esa, that was really well written and I'm sad we didn't get to reunite in the VHL. Maybe in the future we'll finally get to play together on here!
