Give me TPE, my eternal hunger for TPE can never be satisfied, and I am determined to go down in VHL history as a TPE bitch. So here is a bunch of filler for my excuse of a media spot so I can claim my 2.

 

1. EU has passed NA as the best conference this season. For a while now, the NA has had considerably better standings than the EU, at least in the regular season but with the emergence of Riga and Malmo, it seems like the EU are the top dogs for now. Perhaps this is another one of the effects of the expansion draft, as expansion teams mainly took players from NA.
2. Scoring is high. Like seriously, we have two players on pace for 2 points per game which is seriously insane and have stats better than some players will get in their entire season. Maybe due to the league being relatively top-heavy, so the teams on top are beating up the ones at the bottom.

This was an intended outcome of Expansion. We didn’t, strictly speaking, need 4 teams but adding them all at once meant much more separation between the top and bottom teams. Historically this is how the VHL has run and part of the reason scoring has been up. Scoring was down not because players were bad or goalies were too good, in fact team scoring was more or less normal; it was down because scoring was getting spread out across more people so there were no true superstars. Spreading the talent out over more teams makes more chance for players to stand out.
