Claimed: A couple races to watch

[Banackock 8,141]

This seasons shaping up to be a pretty good one when it comes to races to watch. Like most seasons, we got our usual front running teams from the season prior, the same teams slumping and some pretty damn good performances from teams and a bunch of players. Buzz around the league is going as we are slowly approaching the halfway mark of the season and we'd like to turn the focus on these races. Which teams are the ones we should all be looking at? Who wins top team of the year? Which players scores the most goals? Gets the most points? Which goalie will defy all odds - stop the most pucks and we crowned victor of the best goalie of the year? All of these are what's making this year special as it's currently a tight sprint for a lot of hardware come award time. Without further delay, let's turn the light on some of them.

 

Which teams takes 1st place in the regular season?

Right now we got the Titans in first with 50 points, Quebec following behind with 45, Stockholm in Quebec's tail with 41 and  the Wranglers and Americans both with 39 points. Essentially, you can count every other team out and take them off the list right now for teams who could win this title. Another one we can go ahead and scratch off right now is Calgary. No hate on them, but they're doing way better than expected and honestly, I see mediocre and a fall in their future. Both the Americans and Vikings are a little lower than I expected and Quebec took a nice little jump up to first in the North American conference. In the Euro section, the Titans are rolling away with things slowly but surely and are being led by a dominant performance from many players including Franchise Cornerstone @boubabi and Astrid Moon. In the end, we feel this is who is going to take the top spot at the end of the regular season.

 

 

Who scores the most goals?

This race is a thousand times tighter than the team side of things. The top 10 all have above 17 goals through the 28 games and from 1st to 10th, they're only separated by 6 goals so realistically, anything can happen. The top 5 rounds includes Cornerstone, Gowency, Boeser, Maxwell and Gaudette who range from 21 to 23 goals on the year so far. Though the race is a close one, we're unfortunately going to have to declare a winner and though it can go so many different ways, we're going to have to give this award in Helsinki's direction once again. With 23 through 27 games, Cornerstone takes the cake now and we feel as though he'll still be eating it once the season is up. Let's make a bold prediction and say he finished with 66 on the season.

Best goalie in the regular season?

We're going to keep it short and sweet. Astrid Moon's number currently are stellar. 1.10 goals against, 0.938 save percentage, 10 shut outs and 25 wins. We don't really need to go on and on with this one. If he keeps the performance up, and based off our regular season winner predictions he's going to, than Astrid Moon will easily finish the season off with one of those Aidan Shaw things or whatever. @The Trollfecta

 

Who collects the most points?

Similar to the goal scoring race, it's pretty damn tight (though, not as tight). Again, like that one race, anything can happen though we're going to make a bold prediction here and say Maxwell is going to edge this one out. Cornerstone and him are the frontrunners for this I believe, however, I personally think that the Americans are going to turn the flame on under their asses in the final half whenever they can figure out what the fucks going on. Of course, they're going to be led by Unassisted and Maxwell who will take the race in this category with a point total of 129.
