…a point in 26 straight.

 

The VHL’s current leader in goals and assists, and naturally, also points, is the Quebec City Meute’s star winger, Tom Lincoln. He’s put up 41 goals and 51 assists giving him 92 points at 50 games played. He’s also managed to maintain a +67 plus-minus rating so far this season. Despite his massive point total up to this point, he has only gained 15 points with the man advantage. Lincoln has not been held off the stat sheet since Game 118, a 2-0 loss to the Cologne Express.

 

During his 26 game point streak, he has scored 23 goals and racked up 32 assists for 55 points, that’s over two points per game (2.11 to be exact).  He is second in the league in shots taken with 355, 203 of them taken during the streak including a 17 shot, two goal game against the Wranglers as well as a few 11 and 12 shot games.

 

Arguably his best game of the season was during Quebec’s 8-0 victory over the New York Americans who have been selling off all their players hoping to get draft picks in return when he scored four goals and added a helper with a plus-five rating on 12 shots. But his stellar performance is not to say the rest of the team isn’t carrying their weight. Unassisted is second on the team in scoring with 75 points (34 goals, 41 assists) and Aleksi Koponen has 73 points (33 goals, 40 assists). They are the top three in the league right now while John Sleeman continues to prove his move to forward was the right call with 65 points (26 goals, 39 assists) good for fifth in the league.

 

One thing Tom Lincoln lacks to make him the complete player in the VHL is his physical game. Sleeman and Koponen have proven they’re not afraid to lay the lumber when the need arises with 256 and 143 hits respectively. Lincoln, however, has managed seven, yes you read that right, seven, hits so far this year. To his credit, he hasn’t really been required to play very physical when he can rely on his skating and scoring to do the talking.  His seven hits are among the four fewest in the league behind Thaddeus Humbert (now Lincoln’s teammate), rookie Travis Gowecny, and Biggu Kyanon. His 117 hits taken though is towards the top of the league and the highest of the four players I just mentioned.

 

Lincoln, Unassisted, Koponen, and Sleeman have all earned their spot in the S50 all star game that’s coming up soon. It’s always fun to cheer for your teammates when it comes to the all star festivities, even if you’re watching from home. Getting to see top talent play against top talent in an exhibition game is always entertaining and very high scoring. The list of all starts is highlighted with some good young talent like Sir William Covington III, Bogdan Podarok, Black Velvet, Dmitri Dadonov, and of course Unassited. All of these guys were playing in the VHLM just a few years ago so it’s nice to see all their effort and hard work come to fruition and earn them a spot in the all star game.

Nothing about writing about your GM's player

More interesting than constantly writing about my own I figured.

Lincoln seems to be following in the footpath of Wolf. You know getting some accolades and no rings. Hahaha just had to say that. Seriously his numbers have increased each year and he is due for a cup as GM. Just don't think it will be this year. He needs to up hits hits to make him Wolf 2.0.
