Pretty decent rookie season

[Victor 10,940]

In a classic case of lowering own expectations, I would have been happy with any 1st season for Podrick Cast, and would have been delighted with a point per game pace with lots of time to make up and put up some HOF stats in the future. Instead, with nearly 50 goals and 100 points, I appear to have somehow pulled out another Stolzschweiger Trophy out of the bag. Thank you sim gods.

 

It's not the greatest rookie season of all time, but it is the best since S57 (Casey Jones) and up there with the abomination which was Cologne's clearly PED-infused performances in S52 and S53 by van Hohenzollern and Thrower respectively. RIP Cologne and both those members.

 

In my previous rookie season, Greg Clegane pipped the equally impressive Max Molholt to the Stolzy and won a cup, so this isn't quite that good but it was nonetheless a strong rookie class with the likes of Matt Thompson, Bryce Zhields, Samuel Gate, and Roger Sterling all in with a shout in pre-season and indeed early in the season.

 

Shoutout as well to my teammate @Tagger with whom Cast has formed a formidable partnership. It took my previous center, Chershenko, a season to find a decent teammate in Rybak, but their careers turned out alright. In a weird twist, Tagger's last "serious" rookie season, Edwin Reencarnacion's in S44, was also a Stolzy winner, the season before Clegane.

 

And of course thank you to my GM @hedgehog337 for setting up a team that maximises scoring in an otherwise shit season and for signing Pablo, the true S61 MVP.

Was looking through out of of interest to see where you compare with the other eight-team league rookie leaders, you'd need a really good point-showing to get in the top 10 (99 points), but you'd be in the top 15 with four points in your last three games. 

 

Also, how dare you diminish the career of the All-Time leading save percentage goalie Edwin Threencarnacion!

Anything which is a threat to the legacy of Greg Clegane must be destroyed.
