Regular Season Power Rankings Part 2 (S20-S39)

[TheLastOlympian07 2,388]

Ahh we add another 10 seasons onto these rankings, because of the two new teams from Season 31 onwards, they will be ranked by win percentage. No I don't mean point percentage where  OTL play a role in it, not that is still a loss and shouldn't be worth anything in my opinion so just straight up win percentage.

 

1 - HC Davos Dynamo - Previously 1st

1440 GP - 857 W - 494 L - 89 OTL - 1820 P - 4,631 GF - 3,846 GA - 16 Playoffs - 4 Missed Playoffs - 5 Victory Cups - 0.595 Win %

 

The Dynamo for the better part of 2 VHL decades won 6 out of 10 games roughly in the regular season. That is remarkable if you think about it and they are the only team to win over 800 games during the 20 seasons with 857 total. They are the only team with under 500 losses with 494 and made the playoffs a remarkable 16 times in 20 seasons. 5 Victory Cups in the meantime too as Regular Season champions has them tied for 1st in the VHL during this time span. The Dynamo really were the cream of the crop from Season 20-39. Davos was even better in the 30's than they were in the 20's with 431 wins over 10 seasons.

 

2 - Helsinki Titans - Previously 3rd

1440 GP - 774 W - 561 L - 105 OTL - 1657 P - 4,458 GF - 4,028 GA - 11 Playoffs - 9 Missed Playoffs - 2 Victory Cups - 0.538 Win %

 

The Helsinki Titans jump ahead one spot with a great decade to finish with 774 wins, 561 losses and 105 OTL for a total of 1657 points. The Titans made the playoffs 11 times while missing 9 times. Helsinki managed to add a few Victory Cup in this time frame as well which would make them tied for 3rd in that category. Helsinki and Davos battled it out to some great games over these past two decades to finish 1 and 2. Helsinki won 377 games over the last 10 seasons.

 

3 - New York Americans - Previously 5th

1440 GP - 774 W - 570 L - 96 OTL - 1650 P - 4,356 GF - 4,136 GA - 12 Playoffs - 8 Missed Playoffs - 2 Victory Cups - 0.538 Win %

 

One of the biggest risers on the list are the New York Americans who went from 5th to 3rd and over took the Toronto Legion for top dog in North American division. The Americans finished the 30's with 774 wins, 570 losses and 96 OTL for 1650 points. The Americans were also able to add two Victory Cups to the cupboard in the 30th to be tied with Helsinki for 3rd in that category. New York had a great decade with 428 wins which was just 3 wins less than the league leading Dynamo.

 

4 - Toronto Legion - Previous 2nd

1440 GP - 714 W - 557 L - 97 OTL - 1534 P - 3,874 GF - 3,886 GA - 12 Playoffs - 8 Missed Playoffs - 5 Victory Cups - 0.496 Win %

 

Toronto fell to 4th and behind the Americans in the NA Conference. The Legion finished with a record of 714-557-97 for 1534 points. The Legion made the playoffs 12 times and missed 8 but managed to be the best regular season team 5 times which is tied for 1st with Davos. However, in the 30s, the Legion only added 1 Victory Cup, while still good, it didn't match the 20's in which they won 4. It was a tough decade as the Legion only won 291 games which is a big reason they fell.

 

5 - Riga Reign - Previously 6th

1440 GP - 701 W - 629 L - 110 OTL - 1515 P - 4,145 GF - 4,092 GA - 11 Playoffs - 9 Missed Playoffs - 1 Victory Cup - 0.487 Win %

 

Riga moves up to 5th place and just cracked the 700 win mark with 701 to go along with 629 losses and 114 OTL which was the 2nd most in the league. The Reign made the playoffs 11 times and missed 9 times. In the 30s the Victory Cup was spread out pretty evenly as the Riga Reign were able to win their 1st Victory Cup in 20 seasons dating back to Season 20. Riga played well but unfortunately had to play the same division with Davos and Helsinki who were clearly the best teams in the league. The Reign won 337 games over the 10 seasons.

 

6 - Seattle Bears - Previously 4th

1440 GP - 664 W - 662 L - 114 OTL - 1448 P - 4,069 GF - 4,198 GA - 12 Playoffs - 8 Missed Playoffs - 2 Victory Cups - 0.461 Win %

 

Seattle falls to 6th still behind Toronto but got leap frogged by New York. Making them the 3rd ranked NA team. The Bears won 664 games, lost 662 games and lost in ot/so 114 times (most in the VHL). The Bears were the definition of hot and cold over the 20 seasons from Season 20. The Bears made the playoffs 12 times and missed the playoffs 8 times. The Bears also were not able to add to the Victory Cup total so that stays at 2.

 

7 - Quebec City Meute - Previously Not Ranked

648 GP - 296 W - 318 L - 34 OTL - 628 P - 1,790 GF - 1,918 GA - 5 Playoffs - 4 Missed Playoffs - 1 Victory Cup - 0.457 Win %

 

Here we have the first expansion team in the QC Meute who came into the league and did pretty good despite the losing record. The Meute made the playoffs 5 times and missed the playoffs 4 times while also winning the Victory Cup once. I forget what season it was but they won the Victory Cup before some of the others teams that were in the league 11 seasons before them.

 

8 - Calgary Wranglers - Previously 8th

1440 GP - 649 W - 707 L - 84 OTL - 1379 P - 4,177 GF - 4,937 GA - 8 Playoffs - 12 Missed Playoffs - 1 Victory Cup - 0.451 Win %

 

Calgary gets passed up by a newly expanded team in the Quebec which shouldn't bode well for them, the fans or the players. The Wranglers managed to win a Victory Cup in the 30s. Actually, the Wranglers were able to win 384 games throughout the 30s which is pretty good but that just goes to show how bad they were in the 20s, because of that they still stay in the 8 spot behind the Meute. The Wranglers are also the only team to have over 700 losses.

 

9th - Cologne Express - Previously Not Ranked

648 GP - 292 W - 305 L - 51 OTL - 632 P - 1,730 GF - 1,847 GA - 3 Playoffs - 6 Missed Playoffs - 0 Victory Cups - 0.451 Win %

 

The Express actually have the win % as the Wranglers but due to them being in the league longer and having a Victory Cup, I guess I will have Cologne 9th. Express actually have more points than the Meute but don't have a Victory Cup and they have more losses in OT which give them the better point percentage rather than win percentage. Cologne made the playoffs 3 times and missed 6 times but that is due to playing in the tougher Euro division rather than the easier NA conference for the Meute.

 

10th - Vasteras Iron Eagles - Previously 7th

1440 GP - 641 W - 689 L - 110 OTL - 1,389 P - 3,902 GF - 4,249 GA - 8 Playoffs - 12 Missed Playoffs - 1 Victory Cup - 0.445 Win %

 

Ahh poor Vasteras gets passed by both expansion teams and Calgary to drop to 10th and they are the biggest faller in the rankings. They have more points than Calgary but most of those came from OTL which they have 110 of to go with 641 wins and 689 losses. The Iron Eagles were the same team for the better parts of 2 decades with 321 wins in the 30s and 320 wins in the 20s. For that reason plus the OTL and tied for most playoff misses and least playoff makes (out of the non expansion sides), Vasteras is unfortunately the biggest loser so far.
