SPNHL Tale of the tape

So, I put in a lot of work trying to put individual stats together for every roster player in the league using a spreadsheet. I am sad to tell everyone that the screenshots from the sheet will not work when posted to the site. If you’re interested in seeing your team or all teams let me know and I’ll show you my work (I’m pretty proud of it).  Shout out to everyone who tried to do media in the past, it is a ton of work and everyone appreciates it. If you don’t like what I said, prove me wrong and go do your own article, let’s get started.

Initial reaction to this squad is they have a lot of star power uptop with players like Gui and Yesc, Exe will fill out that top forward line.  Defensively they are one of the deeper teams in the league with guys like execution, fivestar, cook, ice cold and king. These guys are all proven vets in the league, Exe is a guy who may play both forward and defence.  In the crease, Shooter, Rolla and Dxrk (possibly) make a great tandem that will steal some games if need be.  The one question mark I see is offensive depth, if rookies like Dxrk, Brucelee can perform, this will be a team to look out for come playoffs

Oh what could’ve been. With the first overall pick the Montreal Canadiens selected: PistolPete, however after pulling an Eric Lindros, he was shipped with fellow defence partner Curtis (we will look at them later).  Now, if I put a bunch of names on a dartboard then blindly threw darts at it, I would probably make a better looking squad than this one (sorry Tripz).  Let’s take a look at some positives about the team, a forward line of Bert, Kap and Rambo isn’t the worst thing in the world, on the backend tripz and matriks look to prove themselves.  In net, Polar is an SP vet with Vezina trophies to his name and Josh is coming off a Stanley cup with the Lightning.  The team’s depth is horrendous but they do have some players that can play multiple positions like Elrookie, Clark and beaster.

Now, if this roster was assembled 3 years ago, look the fuck out SP, however this team in 2020 is still is one of the better ones assembled this season.  Offensively, True, chelios and Bstie make up a solid forward line that will score at will.  Defensively Cuban and norris candidate Ajax make a solid #1 d-pair that is reliable and will log some games for you.  Depth wise, NTyrrell in round 6 is a steal and is a great 4th forward, mayhem and dobbsy I don’t have any information on but I trust True’s choices.  In the crease he is rocking a rookie duo of thrice and Poehling, these sweaty Frenchies are going to help put this team over the edge.

Here’s the thing, I don’t hate how Icey drafted his team however, let’s see how long he keeps it together.  On offence, long time vet Lo-max plays with Pfarrcyde and Schmidty which looks like it can be an interesting line.  The depth for the forwards is actually pretty good, Randymarsh as a 4th forward is decent and Mason will be able to fulfill a backup role well.  In net, Eddie and Icey look to prove themselves, Eddie is coming off a fantastic season with the Red Wings and Icey might learn how to stop a puck instead of playing dodge ball. The asterisk next to this team is their defensive core, Castro, Coffee, Mpurch and PGH do not impress me at all, could very possibly be the worst group this season next to Montreal.  These forwards will have to put up 5+ goals a game just to get some wins.

First off, shout out to Peace for picking mostly rookies and making my job a little bit easier!  Peace had a very good draft, with his 2 first round picks he acquired rookies Blades and DC. If you don’t know who these studs are, you’ve been living under a rock and will find out soon.  Offensively Blades has slim pickens for wingers but he does have some decent rookies in Cpenn and SAK to play with. EzPz I don’t have a lot of information on but his SP and other league stats didn’t really wow me, long time vet Serg will fill in on both offence and defence interchangeably if I had to guess.  This d pair of Royal and DC will be gross, arguably the best in the league, junepon is a question mark for me, heard good things but never played with him.  In the crease Peace, koz and maybe cpenn make a weird looking group, Koz sucks dont @ me, Peace and cpenn are both very good though.  This team’s success comes down to availability, it is the difference between a 20 win and 35 win season in my opinion.

Man SP really needs a trade committee, everyone was distracted by the Pete/Curtis deal no one noticed Shepard got dealt to Toronto for a bag of potato chips.  Regardless, even without Shep, Chad built himself a beast team but now, they’re looking even better.  Offensively, stars like Toslick and Grammy are two of the most dynamic wingers in the league, xGrhymes will slot in nicely with them.  On the backend, Uber and Shep make another solid defensive pair in the East, both are very good and will make each other better.  Depth wise, I’m not really seeing any big names but Kakko will be able to fill on offence interchangeably, Devon although signed up as G can help out on Defence as well.  In net they’re all set with Chad, he’s proven to be the best in the league without a question, Devon and Kakko can also hold their own if needed.

I mean, I’d like to think I had a good draft, definitely a few question marks surrounding the characters on my team but, if everything goes according to plan, I think we have legit shot at the cup. In my opinion I built the deepest roster in the league, if anyone thinks differently go write your own article.  These toxic yotes are gonna be on everyone’s shit list by the end of the season I can guarantee it.

Well, stam and hypey are back and hypey has gone and built himself another solid team.  Buckley with stamkos and hypey is a line to look out for, they will score goals and also play an amazing 200ft game.  This defence of Honeybakes and Bostonbruins is sketchy to me, I have no information on Honey but I trust Hypey’s choice. Bruins on the other hand, put up rather impressive numbers the past few seasons very quietly, I always viewed him as a drop-in hero but maybe I am missing something.  Depth wise they are flooded with rookies, Fialah, demy and nico all have played LG and put up respectful numbers, Dedstarks works just fine as a 3rd dman.  In the crease they have the man himself SpencerKnight, hopefully he doesn’t quit in playoffs games for the Hawks, Demy will serve as the backup and do it very well.

Alright, time to roast the boss and catch a ban.  First off, amazing trade to acquire Whitetees, after scoring over 100 goals 2 seasons ago this is the stud upfront Plisk chose to build his team around.  Unfortunately after that, I am not so impressed.  Whitetees NJ and Plisk look to fill out the top line.  Depth wise, Heedless, Backe and stxrto are all rookies who will get a shot to prove themselves to play on that top line.  Defensively Plisk has chosen multiple rookies (Backe, Six, Kmatt and stalechips) and long time sp vet Teamrun to fill out his d-core, after diving through some stats on the players, overall “meh”.  Dudnastyy and Dino in the crease also have some question marks surrounding them, Dud is a proven G in LG Dino however not so much.  One really good thing about this squad is Pliskin’s ability to play F, D and G, I can see him playing everywhere this season.  Let’s hope Tees has a big enough backpack.  (pliskin edit: nIn (o.o) nIn  )

Well Sportyspice I’m not sure why you decided to run a team of 14 players but hey whatever floats your boat.  So you resign Shepard, then you draft 4 other defenders then trade Shep for absolute garbage, 1000 iq buddy, keep up the good work.    Let’s start with the backend, going up against all of 6’7 240 lbs of DrWally is gonna be a pain in the ass this season, he pairs next to KJ who will probably quit like he always does.  Owen actually fairs nicely as your number 3 dman with McAvoy and sports filling out the rest. I got a quote from Sports: “Side comment I think my team will be more defensive than offensive” NO KIDDING.  Up top you have proven defenseman in NowYoDead and DPtickler with SE7ENTEE (was acquired in Shep trade).  The wild last season won a 6 game playoff series only scoring 8 goals, that’s an average of 1.25 G/GP, this tactic will not work with Vandoos, Ducky and possibly Sports in the net.  Depth wise up front, this team has nothing to write home about, Joki had decent LG stats, other than that, very unimpressed.  If this team averages more than 2 goals a game I’ll be shocked.

Reap had yet another good draft, nothing new here.  Lecupidon and Reap picked Diirty Trix (AKA Chief2step) to be their center, I believe Trix has played with these boys in the past and will definitely be a top forward line this season.  Forward depth is quite lacking having only Fox as a registered forward as depth however, diistorted and buff could possibly fill in for the 3 games trix wont play.  On the backend Distorted and Capt make one of the weirdest looking pairings this season, not to knock diistorted but I don’t view him as a stud LD.  Capt on the other hand can hold her own,  she was a gem for my Jets last season and is a great defensive defenceman.  In the crease KQ, Buff and Phenom will split the duties, Buff was an absolute stud in the cup last season, KQ has some very respectable numbers with a career .779 save% and 2.83 GAA.  Expect a lot of goals from this squad.

So here’s the thing, I was so ready to roast and pick apart Visibilty’s team but he did okay.  Other than his pointless shenanigans prior to the draft, he was able to field a decent looking team.  Up top Bluedevil and Kid look kinda lonely but they have guys like Konecny, Pete or even Vis who will jump up and fill in as a forward.  Defensively they are very deep, Pete, Curtis, exe, headcase, vis makeup probably the deepest defensive core in the league (holy shit I’m complimenting Vis).  In net Jeiel doesn’t have impressive stats but I know he can play, Bruh will serve as the backup, don’t know much about him.  This team is 1 Center away from being dangerous.  Although I always give you shit, you did well Vis.
