The One Where You'll Have to Click the Link to Find Out What I'm Writing About

That's right @frescoelmo , I'm taking your thing to the next level. This one is openly clickbait. But people will click anyway, knowing it's clickbait, and be forced to read what I wrote out of curiosity. I guess I'll stop at this point because by now I've covered anything that would show up as a preview on Discord and it's starting to sound a bit like a Robbie post.

 

So yeah, I'll try to make this worth reading at least. I believe in good content, regardless of the fact that this content has a bit of a bad intro. I don't have any specific ideas at the moment, and want to blitz through my earning so I have one less thing on my mind this week, so I figured it would be fun to look through last season's index and find things I found interesting. Let's take a look:

 

-Aside from Gunnar and HHH, players whose numbers were probably a good deal inflated from playing on expansion teams, the top two point-scorers were defensemen. Blueliners don't usually get a whole lot of love in award voting and such, and it's interesting how Benny Graves got a ton of (well-deserved, mind you) credit for his offensive output while Downey and Tate really didn't (at least, from my perspective). 

-Apparently the league leader in shooting percentage (among actual players) was one of my guys, now-inactive Big Chungus. Seeing as he played max minutes and has a SC/PA gap as drastic as he does, I'm also very surprised that he barely even broke 100 shots. Maybe his SK rating of 40 was hurting his output.

-Also, speaking of shooting percentage, big shoutout to ß-LAS RW1 for scoring 3 goals on 7 shots.

-Leading the league in game-winning goals was, well, Sigard Gunnar. Which, given his goal output, isn't surprising--except for the fact that he played for LA. Gunnar scored 12 game-winners, and the Stars won 29 games. So, just over 41% of LA's wins came off the stick of Gunnar.

-11 out of Micheal Gary Scott's 19 goals came on the power play. Meanwhile, Gunnar only ended up scoring 8 out of 60.

-DC finished tied with Davos in the standings and ahead of Toronto and Prague, but--after a good list of expansion-team players--they've got a curious amount of players at the bottom of the +/- list. Enough, in fact, that they had four players come up before any player on a non-expansion team, and those players even finished significantly behind Prague's Seabass Perrin and his -14. Ricky Johnson, Xavier leFlamant, and Raleigh Ritchie all finished with a -24 (bad sim chemistry?) and Charles Drumm came up with a -18.

 

...yeah, this is 150 words alright. I could go on.
