Commissioner Beketov 8,993 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Commissioner Share Posted November 7, 2019 If I'm remembering the precedent correctly (someone please correct me haha) this is a solid 10 TPE I can't claim; oh well. Still nice to see Thompson's career end with a bit of a flourish. Couldn't tie the Boulet record or get a Kanou but 13 individual awards and all VHL first team I think 4 times? I won't complain about that. Congrats to all the winners. Predictions will be up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyinAmerica 2,878 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Man, going into the season I would not have expected one, let alone two awards. Thanks to everyone who voted for me! (I think I just pulled into a tie with Knight for 10th most individual awards all-time by a member, but not sure how updated this thing is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan036 4,598 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 congrats on the top defenseman award @flyersfan1453! Also just curious, what was the thought process in voting in ADV > Banacock (the cup winning GM) for the best GM award? I feel like the voting has always been biased towards the meaningless Victory Cup award instead of the real cup.

Gotta love over quadrupling my award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the voting has always been biased towards the meaningless Victory Cup award instead of the real cup. Playoffs don’t count for top GM in the same way they don’t count for the top coach award in the NHL. It’s not a bias, it’s the definition of the award. Otherwise it’s likely whomever wins the cup would be handed the Knight as well. As for the actual logic, there was a lot of debate on the matter. Both made big moves to improve their rosters but ultimately the majority it seems felt like ADV did more. It was a tough vote for me though and I assume many others as well. Chances are how loose the vote looks doesn’t accurately indicate how close the two were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it was necessarily that I did more but that we both did a fair bit and I navigated a far tougher conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majesiu 58 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Damn, I hoped for 2nd team slightly, but yeah, those 4 were clearly better after checking it Edited November 7, 2019 by majesiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHL’s motto lately “just keep swimming...” Congrats everyone.. whichever way you want to look at it the point is that I don’t think it was most people saying ADV did infinitely more to deserve it. Was moreso just a minor bit of difference between the two and a lot of people leaned a particular way. same type of deal with the Boulet really. The numbers alone make it look like Borwinn was the absolutely dominant winner when most of the conversation was very split with people just slightly leaning Borwinn, myself included.

eaglesfan036 4,598 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I still say ignoring the playoffs is dumb What if a GM make a move at the trade deadline to bring in 2 guys (for cap purposes), and while they were in 2nd in the regular season are the clearly superior team in the playoffs thanks to said GM's great move.

eaglesfan036 4,598 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Malmo was more concerned with buffing a certain players stats than actually winning a cup it appears to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we admit Seattle was a season ahead of schedule, that can likely be credited to trading for Esso and Shawn. But anywho. We won the cup that matters more (or should matter more).

ThePerfectNut 563 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Awnn it sucks that D. Wilcox and that other dude only had ONE vote lol.
