The S62 Rift Trophy talk [1/2]

[hedgehog337 3,480]

I was about to write a full mock draft, but thanks to a slow ass playoffs and Quebec winning games I'll have to switch a topic.

 

 

 

*this is it - the Skylar Rift a.k.a. VHLM playoff MVP award*

 

Last time when I was making a similar article, I was talking about the Devereux Trophy - the best goalie award. So we figured it out this award is likely going to hands of Pepper. So for now I'm going to talk about another trophy my goalie has a shot at. This trophy is named after Skylar Rift, actually a goalie who won two VHL playoff MVP awards (which is named after another goalie, Kanou. lol). A lot of goalies here. Is this going to be the year of another goalie or there would be even a better candidate who is a player? Let's find out. Here are players who could take this award:

 

 

D - BURNT TOAST @Toast

 

9 GP; 2 G - 8 A - 28 HITS - 34 SB

 

Perhaps you would ask me, why did I include a player from a non finalist team. I'm not sure why, but 34 shot blocks and 28 hits are looking solid. He looks like one of main reasons why Sasky was able to beat Oslo in just 5 games and not being completely blown out by Halifax in all four games. Probably it's just me, but could be named the Sasky MVP at least.

 

D - LANDO BAXTER @Elhandon

 

9 GP; 6 G - 7 A - 13 HIT - 18 SB - 37,5 % Shot Accuracy

 

This is the player that could've been drafted 11 OV by me in last draft, but I chose Glade instead. Seems like Lando didn't like it as he had a really good playoff performance. First of all, first in scoring while being a def is very nice. Also, a whopping 37,5 % accuracy tells us he may become a deadly sniper should Quebec give more chances to him in future. By the way, he's the second defenceman already being mentioned in this article. It's certain they don't like being kinda ssnubbed just because they're not playing forward.

 

G - KALLIS KRIKETERS *there should be the Reign's logo*

 

9 GP; 8 W - 1 L - .923 % - 1.53 GAA - 2 SO

 

Hi, it's me...Kallis didn't have an ideal regular season. Especially in the start of the season when he actually sucked hard. Anyways, being able to optimize the build before the playoffs changed everything. Suddenly he just shut the door for Halifax and Las Vegas. I wish he had a better start in finals' Game 4, but 92.3 % save percentage is good enough. Also, he posted the only 2 SO in entire post-season. Seems like a valid contestant for the Rift Trophy to be honest.

 

 

These are my three picks for this trophy, but obviously this is subjective. I saw majority members are picking either Kallis or Lando as the MVP so I guess Ottawa can already celebrate again. Yet another award could be snatched by their player. @diamond_ace celebrate watch.

 

That's it and I'm out.

 

6 TPE to Kallis.
