Returning to Season Predictions

[Tagger 2,722]

I did my predictions with very little knowledge of what was going on, but it looks like it's gonna work out alright.

 

Continental Cup: New York Americans

They got to the playoffs as the best team in the VHL regular season, so they've got that going for them.

Victory Cup: New York Americans

+1 TPE there

Finalist 1: New York Americans

They're in the playoffs and will face teams that finished at least 40 points behind them to get there, so this is looking good as well

Finalist 2: Seattle Bears

It'll take them beating the Titans, which will be difficult, but at least they won't play the Americans to get there, which gives me the chance of getting two right

MVP: Gabriel McAllister

It's interesting how close McAllister compares to Reencarnacion when he won MVP in S48. Exact same points (120), are very similar in how many points they are ahead of competition (McAllister 11 ahead, Reencarnacion 12 ahead) and both led the league in goals. Haven't given it too much thought, but it's looking good.

Playoff MVP: Ike Arkander

He was the goalie with the best save percentage in the regular season, let's see if he can do even better in the playoffs.

Goals Leader: Gabriel McAllister

+1 TPE there

Assists Leader: Mats Johnsson

He was six off the pace, pretty good season all in all

Offensive Defenseman: Mats Johnsson

He's the best in comparison to his competition in +/-, but I don't think that'll help him offset the difference in points. 

Defensive Defenseman: Aackckqz Ky

+1 TPE there

Top Goalie: Norris Stropko

I thought that the extra shots that Stropko would face this season would help his save percentage out, and while he had a solid season, it wasn't as good as Arkander or King

Lowest GAA: Ike Arkander

Missed out by 0.01. Looks like his defense let him down slightly here as he faced 54 more shots than King despite playing one less game

Top Rookie: Veran Dragomir

It looks like the rookie classification is a bit weird this year in the sim, but from what I gather, Dragomir is definitely the best actual rookie

Top Two-Way Forward: Franchise Cornerstone

I mean it SHOULD be that at least

Most Improved: David Kiaskov

He's improved quite a bit, but it's looking like Aksel McKnight might be the better option here

Top GM: Bushito

I can't say I've paid enough attention to the moves that GM's have made this season to give an opinion on who wins this.

Didn’t vote me as best GM!? Sad day
