Season 48 Regular Season Recap

Forefits. 95 Forefitted games. 270 total games in a season. That’s 35% of games not played this season. Fun stat to start the article.

Now having said that, we all know that Anaheim and Washington have won their respective conferences and we all know what the playoff seedings are. But what we don’t know is what teams benefitted more from FFs than others.

So what I’ve done is broke down the FFWs and FFLs (to the best of my ability) and revised the Standings to give us all a much more in depth look as to how this season really played out for each team.

Here is the current Standings showing FFWs as well as FFLs:

(On the SPNHL website you’ll notice that there is more FF Losses for certain teams, this is because in week 5 a FFL counts as 2 FF Losses towards your Points total)

Chicago had their first FFL on the last night of the season, almost went flawless, but they didn’t so they’re gutless.

Anaheim, Chicago, Toronto, Arizona, and Vegas all had the most FF Wins with 11 each. Piitsburgh and Ottawa had the least with 5 each. (Technically Vancouver had the least but only showing up for 10 games this season doesn’t count)

Here are team stats and trends based on the actual games played and no FFs:

Winning % (Wins divided by Games Played)

If Vancouver or Edmonton would’ve stuck around and actually played their games they could’ve been in a playoff spot ahead of Vegas.

Point % (Total Points Divided by Games Played)

The trend of Carolina continues as being the 4th best team this season vs their 6th place finish.

GF Per Game (Pretty Self Explanitory)

Learn how to score goals Chicago wow.

GA Per Game (^^^)

Jon Turner might need to go back to goalie hockey school to learn how to keep pucks out of his net over there in Arizona.

Here is what the Standings would’ve looked like if a full 45 game season was played with the trends we have seen.

Season Standings (if all games were played)

There you have it, Anaheim and Washington deservedly ended up in the positions they finished in this season. Where as Carolina deserved to be in the mix in the top 3. Although Ottawa had the higher Point% the rounding factors into making true numbers for this sheet put them ahead by 2 points.

If the season went as it should have without any Forfeits, the playoff matchups would’ve been:

Anaheim vs Arizona, Chicago vs Vancouver, Washington vs Toronto, and Carolina vs Ottawa.

Obviously there is other factors involved as well, like Edmontons ownership and Vancouvers ownership quitting and them combining teams which lead to Edmonton being the main team used drastically changed their trends to the lower side compared to where they stood after week 2.

Anyways, i hope you enjoyed that breakdown of what the hell happened this season and what could have been. Now we’ll move into what actually matters, the SPNHL Playoff breakdown.

Playoff Preview

Just a friendly reminder, 7 minutes late to matchmaking is a 2 min penalty, 10 minutes late is a FF. Make sure you are on time for your games because the ultimate gutless rule following will be happening in playoffs I guarentee it.

Now lets look at these 1st round matchups:

ANAHEIM VS VEGAS

Season Series : Anaheim 6-0-0, Vegas 0-5-1 (2FFL)

Anaheim GF=16, GA=8

Vegas GF=8, GA=16

Season MVP: Beanzy

Season MVP: Chad

The Vegas Golden Knights have yet to beat the Ducks this season, but they have kept a few games tight. Chad has been lights out for these Knights with a 84SV% even though he has a 3-10 record. I do see the potenital in Chad stealing one game for the Knights, but these Ducks have been lights out all season. Beanzy, Ande, Bejimo, Big(Bald)Dan, and Hyper have played the majority of their games this season so i expect this to also be their Game 7 lineup. Both Kbleau and Fedorov have good numbers in nets too so there is no real weak point on this team. Its unknown what the Knights will put out as their best line, but i expect it to have Fishhure, IshootfromDeeps, KarlssonisGod up front with shepherd and Pliskin on the back end. The only way i see these knights having a chance is by keeping Chad in nets.

Ducks in 4.

CHICAGO VS ARIZONA

Season Series: Chicago 3-2-1, Arizona 3-3-0

Chicago GF=24, GA=22

Arizona GF=22, GA=24

Season MVP: KyleJ83

Season MVP: Gxhle

Jon Turner vs Hughsy, the bestest of best friends in the whole world matching up in the first round. On one side we have the Blackhawks, very strong season, lacked some offense but made up for it on the back end. Then the Yotes, who have been all over the place this season making questionable trades but are now in a spot to play the upset card. Chicago’s game 7 lineup of JohnDean, KyleJ, and Pokegod upfront, with Hughsy and Hochman on the backend and good ol JoPascale in nets will be tough for the Yotes to deal with. I expect them to respond with something like Gxhle, Tommy, Jon Turner up front, with El_Rookie and Lageralteste or Panarin on D and LispDoge in nets.

The season series is very tight between these 2 teams so I could easily see this going all the way.

Upset pick, Arizona in 7.

WASHINGTON VS CAROLINA

Season Series: Washington 4-0-1, Carolina 1-3-1

Washington GF=21, GA=17

Carolina GF=17, GA=21

Season MVP: twnsPepsi

Season MVP: BigLappy

I’ll start with this, no team has used more players this season than the Carolina Hurricanes, i had to check the Team Salary Cap page on the website to figure out who was actually on the team lol.

The Washington Capitals have surprised me, I didn’t see them taking 1st in the East, defintely knew they’d be in the playoffs, but thought it would be 2nd or 3rd place.

The season series between these 2 teams also surprised me, Washington got the better of Carolina all season for the most part.

Washington has developed some good chemistry with their forwards with twnsPepsi and Chico leading the way, with great additonal scoring from Lee, xcarp, and BootyClappin. On defence, Shayne and Alpha held up the back end with Braz in nets. I’m not sure exactly what who will get the nod for Washingtons Game 7 lineup on the wing with Pepsi and Chico, but I do know that whoever they do end up using will do more than fine for them.

These Hurricanes wont be an easy matchup for them though, Lappy, Champo, PatJoyce, Mikeh, Mesmerize, and peacekeeper will most likely be their top line as long as they all show up. I’m not sure who will go where but i do see an option of using rapfan in nets as well which could allow peace to play D with champo or Pat. When these guys get cookin you better be able to handle the heat or get the hell out of the kitchen!

Washington in 6, I have a gut feeling that availability will hurt the Canes in this one.

OTTAWA VS TORONTO

Season Series: Ottawa 2-3-1, Toronto 4-2-0

Ottawa GF=13, GA=16

Toronto GF=16, GA=13

Season MVP: BladeMuffin

Season MVP: Bartlettt

The SP season was going along fine until these Leafs made the trade of the century, acquiring Smitzey and Semple for Clampse and who knows (sorry whoever it is, did not bother to go look up the trade). Then all hell broke loose, then the trade talks started buzzin and the next thing you know these greasy Senator made a trade of their own, grabbing Doranz, last seasons Conn Smythe and Stanley Cup winner.

The season series was fairly tight with Toronto getting the better of Ottawa most games, but for the most part were very low scoring games. Goaltending will be crucial for both teams as well as limiting turnovers.

The Toronto Game 7 line is dangerous, Bartlett, Semple, Smitzey up front with Bxrt and fosix on D with Mooner standing between the pipes. I hate all of these guys and their foreheads are too big to even fit in the god damn rink so Ottawa has their eyes full in this one.

The Senator have a Game 7 of their own though, Morrow, Doranz, RandyMarsh up front, with Ustoopid and RoyalFlush on D and Blademuffin in nets will not be a walk in the park for Toronto. The depth Ottawa has could play a big role in this series too, kale mcbail, flow, neon, and spamr1 have all had a strong season for the Senator.

This series will be back and forth but lets be real here. Ottawa in 4.

SPNHL SEASON 48 POTENTIAL OWNERS LIST!

Welcome to NHL24 and Season 48 of the SPNHL. Randymarsh2012 here, going to enlighten everyone with some of my wishful thinking since Season 48 could start with a different look compared to all other seasons.

The SPNHL is currently entertaining the option to allow co-owners this season to help spread the workload that 1 sole owner typically had to endure. In the spirit of this new potential change, I decided to do up a short list of potential co-owners that would be great for the league.

Keep in mind, this is just one man’s opinion, I have not reached out or talked to any of these people about this.

Bxrt67 & Bartlett34 – The Bart bros would be a real fun duo to play with. Both having owner experience in other leagues. they would be one of the most skilled management groups to play against. (Bartlett34 would have to carry Bxrt67’s big forehead though) Bxrt has won a few cups and was carried to an Art Ross in Season 44 by Randymarsh, so his brother Barlett34 will likely have to do the same for him.

Chadkillz & Doranz – Last season these two lead their team to an impressive regular season record and a Stanley Cup. Finishing 1 and 2 in scoring, these guys would be a great tandem to start season 48 with the mindset of defending their Season 47 cup.

Fishhure & Jhursi – Fish and Jhursi are long term SP veterans who are also BFFs. Former Hart winner Fish, and Selke candidate Jhursi would build, and be, a very competitive team. If Jhursi does his Canadian accent on the mic all season I don’t think these guys lose a game.

Hughsy & John Dean – Hughsy and John Dean have won 3 cups together in the past 6 seasons. Hughsy may be the best player SP has ever seen that hasn’t won an individual award. John Dean is one of the best 2-way centers in the game as well. If John Deans kids stay asleep and don’t cry for him in the middle of games, these guys will build a very tough team to beat.

Gxhle & HaroldJones1990 – These guys will manage to annoy every single team they play against. Gxhle (aka Cpenn), is one of the more talented players to ever play in SP. HaroldJones1990 (aka Pickletickler69, aka BillCosby, aka Pepe Toucher) on the other hand, will get under your skin with his relentless chirps in the discord and his need to run truculence and put people in body bags. Harold has won 2 cups and a Conn Smythe in recent SP history so these guys together would be a threat.

Piskin & Lomax – The oldest vets in SP, both been around since day 1. Pliskin is your league Commissioner and Lomax has been with him most of the way as well. They have great chem together and always keep a positive vibe in the party chats. Lomax may have a little bit of rust to work off, but he is a former art ross winner in this league and so is Pliskin. This team may have a slow start, but they always come round and finish the season strong clinching a playoff berth.

Beanz & Ustoopid – These brothers have always managed to somehow find their way to one another in SP so why wouldn’t they take on a team of their own? They have run successful teams in other leagues and are also two of the more dominant players in recent SP history. I hope to see them running a team and being a cup contender. Ustoopid is a Norris trophy winner, and Bean has won scoring titles in SP in previous seasons.

Hardie & Vito_Corleone – Hardie has a few cups and a Conn Smythe in SP and has played parts in helping previous SP owners in the seasons he’s played. Vito is new to the SPNHL but is strong RD who compliments Hardie very well. These two would build a very strong team to compete with all the other names listed.

Tommyboii & Bejimoszn – Tommyboii is back! Was MIA for a few seasons because he didn’t buy a PS5, but he’s here now and if he teamed up with former linemate Bejimo these guys would be off to a great start before the draft even happens. Bejimo has always been one of the better goal scorers in the league and Tommy is a former Art Ross winner.

KyleJ83 & Randymarsh2012 – Randy is KyleJ’s favorite SP player, and he would be so lucky and grateful to finally get a chance to finally play with him. Randy may agree to this we will see. Randy may not want to own with him though because hes wayyyyy better at hockey than Kyle so it will likely have to be a make a wish thing. Kyle on LW and Randy on RW seems like the kind of line that wins championships though.

If all these young gentlemen did end up taking teams it would turn out to be one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory. If I even just got 1 idea planted in any of the listed guys brains or even someone else that is reading this article, then this was a win for the league and not a waste of my time.

Let’s get some more signups going and get the Season 48 ball rolling! Invite your friends and invite your friends friends.

SPNHL Season 47: Post-Draft Rankings

By: Doranz-, RandyMarsh2012, and BANDIT-V-HXC

All hands are on deck for this one, folks. Welcome to the 47th season of the Sony PlayStation Hockey League, and get ready for things to heat up in one of the hottest summers and most competitive seasons in recent memory.

Fresh off winning the Stanley Cup, LispDoge and the St. Louis Blues are back and ready to defend their crown, but they are up against a field of talented teams with experienced players and GMs who know what they are doing. This includes the boss himself in SA_Pliskin, veterans like ThaFoSix and NowYoDead, and wildcards like Fishhure, HaroldJones1990 and PEACEKEEPER500-. Oh, Chad is there too. Big talker, that guy.

Let’s see how everybody did in assembling a team with in a pretty deep draft. Our old friend RandyMarsh2012 will be grading the Eastern conference, while Doranz- and I (BANDIT-V-HXC, FKA Dirty-Dietrich, Media Correspondent Extraordinaire) will provide some insight on the West. We’ll look at projected lineups, give a grade, and share some thoughts. That’s enough preamble. Let’s get into it!

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Detroit Red Wings

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: Crazyflame29
C: Jhursi
RW: Fishhure
LD: Hughsy28-
RD: IbraxxI
G: SgtVandoos (Bxrt67 is bad no shot he is #1)

Grade: A

This team is built strong from top to bottom, the chemistry that these guys have already established from getting drunk on facetime and playing some NHL will be one of the many reasons they are successful this season. Bxrt at G is sus tho, although the guy’s forehead is so big he’ll probably stop a few shots. They have the top d-pair in the league unless hughsy forgot how to play the position since he’s been hard on C most of this NHL.

Boston Bruins

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: HaroldJones1990
C: Mxttyice97
RW: BejimoSzn
LD: Eggman—1
RD: kylej83
G: xChoo-_-       

Grade: A-

These next 3 teams are a toss-up for me, they all are equally strong in their own ways.

I based this #2 choice on the d-core with eggman and kyle, 2nd best pairing in the league with an option to put jon turner on LD as well if they want to introduce Kakko into that top 6. Choo is one of the better goalies in the draft as well and when he gets hot he is real tough to beat. Bejimo will need to start dropping some bejiclapbombs as well as bejibombs to get this offence rolling.

Buffalo Sabres

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: Semple19
C: xBeanZy-       
RW: xLeRoyyy- 
LD: ThaFoSix
RD: Ande91-      
G: BoKnows88-

Grade: A-

I like how fosix built this team, he’s got 3 strong forwards with bean and semple leading the way with also having the option of putting ande on RW. But don’t sleep on LeRoyy, he played real well in the cup finals as an ECU and may become one of the better RWs in the league this season. With Boknows in nets you hardly even need defense, he will carry a heavy load for these guys when called upon. Fosix and Ande as a starting d-pair is solid enough to get these guys into playoffs.

Philadelphia Flyers

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: heei–
C: BigLappy
RW: Smitzey
LD: NxtiveKarlssxn
RD: PEACEKEEPER500-
G: Ranchx41x/ Gunnnxrr

Grade: A-

Although I ranked these guys last it does not mean I think they’re a bottom feeder, I think all 4 east teams will be better than the 4 West teams. (Bandit note: thanks Randall. Appreciate the vote of confidence)

The forward line (assuming heei is heelhook and not some random) will be the strongest one in the East or very close to it. The D-pairing of peace and nxtive will be their weak point, both capable of playing solid D but are a lesser pair compared to Detroit and Boston. Gunnnxrr and Ranch are both real solid G options so no matter what these guys will have a more than competent goalie in nets.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

“RANKING BEST TOP 6s

(These are just predictions of the best lineup u can have mfs)” – Doranz-

Vegas Golden Knights

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: uStooPiiD  
C: Doranz-          
RW: BANDIT-V-HXC       
LD: JHochman
RD: xShxyne      
G: chadkillz134 

Grade: A

Chad might be quiet and 5 feet tall at the most, but he assembled a solid team. uStooPiiD and Doranz- form a highly formidable 1-2 punch on offense, while JHochman and xShxyne are a defensive duo that will compliment each other’s strengths. I’ll be around, just skating and screwing with the other teams. The depth that this team has is impressive as well, with Alpha-33x and curlew77 being stellar backup options on the right side, while Blade0Muffin and our old friend IceyAsyluml23l round out a goalie trio (perhaps duo if Chad decides he wants to play with the big boys) that will backstop Vegas to some wins.

St. Louis Blues

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: KarlssonIsGod
C: RandyMarsh2012
RW: WeekendNachos19           
LD: Gourr-
RD: LispDoge
G: Mooner2019

Grade: B+

What catches my eye right away is this forward line; RandyMarsh2012 is an excellent right winger who can drive offense, but his stats as a center leave something to be desired. KarlssonIsGod and WeekendNachos19 are dynamic wingers who will pair well with Randall, and this team is backstopped by a Norris-caliber defender in Gourr- and the reigning, cup defending GM in LispDoge. Mooner2019 has proven himself to be one of the best goalies in virtual hockey, and was a great little round 5 steal for STL. They’ve got iamsmokxy-_-     as a backup forward and shock_r as a backup goalie, so this team has the potential to repeat if they don’t get toxic and implode on themselves.

Colorado Avalanche

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: desiredsno3
C: Bxrt1_
RW: ChuckMTL-
LD: SA_Pliskin   
RD: John_Dean_16
G: Morrow_2867

Grade: B (Bandit note: a bit generous, are we Pizzaboy?)

So, this will likely get me some flack, but the next two teams are going to be #7 and #8 in the league by the end of the season in their current states.

Coloardo has a strong right side, with Bxrt1_ and ChuckMTL- being a dangerous duo up front and ol’ reliable in John_Dean_16 on RD. Aside from that, their top 6 has a couple of question marks for me. desiredsno3 is not that starting LW that a team needs, and Plisk, I love ya, but you’re a wrecking ball at LD and can be a liability. Morrow_2867 is a solid G, but he was taken too early for being goalie only and there being too many solid wingers left on the board. EL_R_O_O_K_I_E, teamrun420, and ivanthygreat are serviceable backup options, but you guys got x2apollo4x. You’re carrying on the Colorado Curse!

I don’t write the rules, just the articles.  

Calgary Flames

Projected Starting Lineup:

LW: Jcpens22
C: Shawnk0409
RW: Sniiiider
LD: nowyodead
RD: OGMastaLegend
G: Pc3poseidon

Grade: C+

Don’t go drinking on draft night, kiddos.

This ain’t it, Dead. Sniiiider and Jcpens22 were two great wingers to start with, so I had hope, but then it started to slowly crumble away. OGMastaLegend is a big question mark for me, as his stats in other leagues aren’t promising, and Shawnk0409 is a good forward but you need a solid C to contend. Goaltending on this squad is where the weakness really shows – your best option is Sportsgeek5, but drafted Pc3poseidon before him. I see xshepxrd stepping up and playing LD or C for this squad, but it’s going to be a tough task to try and contend and return to the glory that Dead brought Calgary a few summers ago.

Who knows – Doranz-, RandyMarsh2012, and I may be talking a whole lot of trash that we just can’t back up, but we’ve been around these leagues for a while. We’ve seen people come and go, promises be unfulfilled, and Cinderella stories be willed into existence. It’s a short season, and a small pool (even less teams than the CFL!), so let’s see how it all plays out. I’m sure there will be fireworks aplenty in the weeks that come as these eight teams try to etch their names in virtual hockey history!

Give Cuban1616 and friends a listen and check out the SPNHL Podcast. I don’t know what else to plug but whatever it is, go check it out. We’ll see you on the ice!

Season of feeling the Blues

Greetings, everyone! I’m LispDoge, the Champion of Season 46. I wanted to take a moment to recap my journey throughout the season, from being a player in the previous season to becoming a GM for the first time in the SPNHL and ultimately winning the cup. So, let’s dive into it.

It all started in Season 45 when I finally got NHL 23 after not playing any NHL game since 2021. I was looking for new leagues to get back into the game and came across the “SPNHL Season 45” in the Kinglymes discord channel. Excited to return to EASHL, I signed up and awaited my fate in the league’s discord. Draft night arrived, and in the 9th Round, I was drafted by the Flyers. Thus, my new journey began.

Joining the Flyers, I played alongside Boknows, Reimattack, Hughsy28-, Jonturner, and Jcpens. I let them know that I was new to chel and had to adapt to the game’s changes. Despite some challenges and encountering a few trolling teammates(Turner and Boknows) but to my surprise I had a GM who I actually enjoyed playing with, I knew it would be a memorable season.

Season 45 started well, except for some unfortunate sui lineups I had to be a part of. I also ended up playing goalie for most of our random club games to be able to play with Hughsy and whomever he’d invite, though at the beginning I’d be roasted for using the right stick and doing somersaults in net. Eventually, I had my first goalie game against Carolina, where I performed well and secured a victory for the Flyers. However, after a game of Among Us where I eliminated Hughsy28, he put me on the trade block. I was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, but my teammates I was traded with disappeared, and I felt alone with a new squad and a french guy named philmoron, who loved to make me feel depressed playing this game. Nonetheless, with the help from my therapist Shock_R I persevered, knowing that vengeance awaited me in the following season.

In Season 46, I decided to become a GM, despite facing criticism from the SPNHL community. I was determined to prove them wrong. Before the draft, I already had a clear plan of who I wanted to draft, especially talented players who hadn’t played in SPNHL before. Among those players were EpicxSkillzy, YuhAtti, Snipersoda10, Boston3430, and oPastrnak. The draft went better than expected, and I managed to acquire most of my desired players. With my roster set, I was ready to make them regret doubting me.

However, before the season began, I faced some challenges, including trading some core players early on. Despite setbacks, I fixed my mistakes early on and made further trades to strengthen my team. I also made the decision to switch from playing forward to becoming the team’s starting goalie. As the regular season concluded, I had a solid record, although my teammates sometimes prevented me from achieving shutouts and a better save percentage, especially boston3430, Weekendnachos, and at times Lappy. 

Heading into the playoffs, I felt confident that the St. Louis Blues, my team, would be victorious. However, the first-round series against the Sharks proved to be a close call, with ups, but felt like mostly downs, with most of our core squad not being able to play Tuesday due to other league scheduling, to 10:30 games being troll games where our team was playing with a stick up their butts. . We eventually won in Game 7, winning considerably in out performing our opponents, securing our spot in the next round.

Onto the next series against Coyotes, after Chico decided to schedule Bejimoszn for tuesday in LG, and proceeded to shit talk me with Crexmin in dm’s I realized that I was going to get in their heads the rest of the series. They made it easy for me in game 1 when they showed up way too late to where RatDoge pulled the first Forfeit in the playoffs. Then game 2 proceeded to defeat them 10-7, where I put in 5 goals myself, I decided missrogue deserved another chance at goalie after that game but ultimately let a goal in from not holding her post game 3, and lost the game 2-1. So then we led 2-1 in the series, when it should have very well been 3-0. Going into Thursday I knew I was going back up at Center, and brought in ECU Alpha in net, so that we could hit our 10 guys as LIAME0108 didn’t want to play and wanted to go to a Katy Perry concert instead. Game 4 happened and Lappy, Bejimoszn, and LispDoge all scored against the Coyotes, winning the game 4-3 in regulation with 3 of their players getting kicked by playstation for updating their license for the game. Game 5 saw LispDoge back in goal, conceding early goals but mounting a comeback. Unfortunately, we lost in overtime due to a difficult-to-stop shortside goal, narrowing the series lead to 3-2. In the crucial game 6, fueled by previous trash talk, the Blues delivered a dominant 5-0 shutout, causing the Coyotes to quit with 6 minutes remaining. This ironically mirrored the Avalanche’s defeat in the previous series.

In the finals, we ended up facing skepticism from the SPNHL community. People believed the Devils would win within 6, counting the Blues out as they did all playoffs. We started strong, taking a 2-0 series lead against the Devils, fueling heated exchanges in the shoutbox. However, in Game 3, the Devils managed to secure a victory, with john_dean_16 scoring a crucial overtime goal that I think this game should never allow to go in. In Game 4, we made some lineup changes, including ECU Alpha returning as the goalie. Alpha’s exceptional performance helped the us win 4-3 in overtime. Moving on to Game 5, we stuck with a similar lineup, but I went on LW, which was a terrible choice and suffered a 4-2 regulation loss. Undeterred, I decided to switch back up to what has worked for us all season, putting myself in the net, and bring Lappy out for game 6. We ended up taking a 5-0 lead going into the 3rd period and from there it was all over. Finishing the game winning 5-3 and everyone on the Blues officially securing their first Spnhl cup in most of their first season. With Missrogue taking home the Conn Smythe (yes our team chose her, no one else wants the salary increase).

I wanted to give a shoutout to quite a few people, 


First I want to say thank you to Ustoopiid, Randymarsh, Mrlolchico, Hughsy28-, and Sa_Pliskin for making this one of the most competitive Seasons of any league I’ve managed in/been a part of. To the other gm’s I want to say thank you to most of you who didn’t forfeit games and played even when you didn’t have your full lineup and made things work. 


Secondly to my teammates for putting up with me trolling them half of the season, Thank you to Boston3430 for bringing me down a peg when I’d be in net scoring on me yourself so I dont get a shutout. Thank you, Bejimoszn, Lappy, weekendnachos, patjoyce, yuhatti-, and epicxskillzy for playing when I needed you guys to, and not trying to ego, because you knew we were going to win this league no problem <3. Thank you Missrogue for being my backup goalie, and when it actually mattered you didn’t let me down, and was supportive the whole way, even if you were on the tradeblock for legit most of the whole season. 


Lastly, I want to thank all the Ecu’s/tcs who’d play for any team regardless of what place they were in and came to show up. Turdburglar, mxttyice, Alpha-33x, Kakko(even though fuck you), Blackman_mafia, Hymanninthesky, and rickyxbobby. Be proud of yourselves for coming into games even though you could have chosen to not show up for any games as some of you weren’t on any roster.

Overall I must say, Season 46 was a remarkable journey filled with ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. I’m proud of our achievements, and I look forward to defending this cup next season with all the future Blues (Jonturner, thafosix you’re coming home!)

Week 4 power ranking.

-by turner

Yippee, yippee. Last week of the season. Sorry this is late, I was lazy. Gonna put about as much effort into this as expected. So lets carry on.

Number 1. Philly. Keeping them number 1 despite now not being in first because I feel like it. Nah but in all seriousness once availability is sorted out hopefully soon, they still number 1. Keep up the good work hughsy. 😉 (Same)

Number 2. New Jersey. OOOOO. Yeah I moved them up. Just that type of day. Jersey has entered that three way tie in first riding a 10 game win streak dating back to week 3. Keep up the good work fellas, you are all handsome. (Up 1)

Number 3. Sigh. Florida. I dropped Florida down a spot in recent news being brought to my attention that would be astronomically bad, like last season hurricanes in round 1 bad. Unless that changes they could be in danger. Ah that feels good to say. (Down 1)

Number 4. Arizona. Coyotes figured it out and won games. Now sitting at number 1 in the West. Respek. West is a gauntlet however so anything can happen. (Up 1)

Number 5. Blues. Blues sit in 2nd in the west but should feel comfortable with getting a top 2 seed. A strong week 5 will give them a chance to be the top of the bunch. Although doge is a scum for making the islanders reschedule bc he was scared. (Down 1)

Number 6. Colorado. Avs are hot. No other way to put it. Fish hopped in barts big ass forehead and they’ve taken off. Fo Norris playing phenomenal. Why not make a last second push for the 1 seed. (Up 1)

Number 7. Get dunked on Randy. Sharks. Stinking up the joint are the Sharks who luckily will not fall out of the playoffs because west has no comp outside of the first 4. Don’t let plisk pass you for the 3rd seed, we’d all laugh (Down a good amount)

Number 8. Preds. Kinda sucks bc they are in the playoffs if they are in the east but you ain’t. Solid season after big solo kicked rocks but tough division to be in. Go play spoiler this week and shake things up (Same maybe idk)

Number 9. NEW YORK ISLANDERS. The heart of the league is rumbling hoping to sneak into the playoffs. That JonTurner guy sure knows how to turn the ship around. Keep close eyes on the Standings and see if they can make a run (FF the sens at all cost) (Up a fuck ton)

Number 10. Ottawa. Praying for your downfall. (Down bad)

11. Pittsburgh

12. Anaheim

Week 3 Power Rankings

With the trade deadline passed, teams have shaped up and are ready for a playoff push. Let’s check and see where they fall this week. I am drained from doing hours of math so let’s see how this comes out.

Number 1. The Flyers. They remain at the top spot for the third consecutive week but the gap has closed. They had a subpar 6-3 week following the perfect week 2. Their big deadline acquisition was getting Brad from the Ducks and he adds to the already deep forward core. Flyers will need to compile a 7+ win week in order to retain this spot because someone is lurking.  (SAME)

Number 2. Certainly not creeping up on anyone is the Panthers. Florida had an almost flawless week, losing to only the Blues in OT. Certainly a team that could be looked upon as one of the best on paper ever, they also get it done on the ice too. Despite bending rules, they may very well end up as the presidents trophy winners in 2 weeks. I’d mention trades from this team but the whole team started elsewhere. (UP 1)

Number 3. New Jersey. The Devils have hit their stride mid season with a 8-0-1 week to keep pace with the two prior teams. Goaltending has been nothing special outside of Beanzys three games (Vezina?) but last week they averaged 5 goals a game so it hasn’t been a cause for concern. No Big deadline acquisitions for the devils as sportsgeek got cold feet. (UP 1)

Number 4. St Louis. The Blues emerged as the top of the west midway through the season. First year GM LispDoge has gotten the team to buy in with DoorDash rewards making it hard for players to want out or to no show. A bit forward heavy could hurt them in the playoffs but only time will tell. (UP 2)

Number 5. Arizona. The Coyote train came to a screeching halt this week seeing them be bypassed by 2 other teams in the standings. While this may be cause for concern, Chico will figure this out and turn the ship around before it sinks. As long as availability is in line, they’re still up there in the West. (DOWN 3)

Number 6. San Jose. As much as they are deserving of being in the top 5, they can’t win the big game against teams ranked higher. The front 5 may be better than 2 of these teams right ahead of them, but goaltending is a major red flag because when your best LW is also your best goalie, you may have an issue. (DOWN 1)

Number 7. Colorado. Plisk has the boys right in the thick of it following deadline week. 7 points out of first but comfortably in the 4 spot, The Avs can very well make a push in the final weeks. Doesn’t change the fact that Bart’s forehead is massive. Avs pulled out wins vs top 5 teams but also struggled against some. Looking like a playoff lock for sure though. (SAME)

Number 8. Nashville. Shep took over a team and flipped it into a potential playoff team. Chad is more than capable of winning them games and the rest of the lineup will produce when needed. Unfortunately, it may not be enough since the west is very tough 1-4 and they will play most of them 2 more times. (SAME)

Number 9. Ottawa. From 7-2 to where did it go wrong. Devon recently stepped down and Cuban stepped up in his place but there is not much he can do at this point. While the Sens hold the last spot, they better hold on for dear life as they could easily lose hold of it. The current roster reminds me of week 1 NYI with Hardie and Aali and literally no one else. Last week was a 2-7 week where they gave up 71 goals, 61 in the final 2 days. yikes(SAME)

Number 10. New York Islanders. The Islanders in 2 weeks not only have added 5 more wins than they had after week 1, but are strangely in it for the last spot in the East. It will certainly be an uphill climb but they have been playing better hockey of late including a win over Arizona and heavily outplaying San Jose. Can they make up the 11 point deficit? (UP 2)

Number 11. Pittsburgh. While they sit higher than the Islanders, they have struggled of late but are only 6 points out of a playoff spot. They will need to do something they haven’t done since week one and that’s put together a winning night (Without FFs). (DOWN 1)

Number 12. Anaheim. Drafting guys with no avail seemed to work out as good as it sounded. A winless week finds the Ducks in the basement of SP. They also traded away their first round pick who played 0 games. They could possibly be tanking for Bedard, we are unsure as well. Best of luck to Jhursi who is being held hostage like John Dean was last season. (DOWN 1).

Thank you all for reading and special shoutout to Bej for not playing for the Islanders. Have a wonderful week SP.

1. Inconsistent Performance: The team had a rough night with a 1-2 record, losing to the New Jersey Devils and the Florida Panthers, but winning against the Pittsburgh Penguins. This inconsistency in performance suggests that the team may struggle with maintaining a high level of play against solid lineups throughout a game or a season.

2. Weak Offensive Production: Jcpens22 only scored 1 goal in the three games, which is below his usual average of 2 goals per game. This suggests a possible issue with the team’s offensive strategy or execution.

3. Poor Defensive Performance: The team allowed a total of 12 goals against in three games, which is a high number and suggests that the team may have issues with their defensive strategy or execution.

4. Turnovers: The team struggled with turnovers, giving away 122 times throughout the night. This suggests a possible issue with the team’s puck possession and maintaining control of the game.

====================================================================

The Florida Panthers had a perfect night with a 3-0 record, defeating the New York Islanders, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the New Jersey Devils in overtime. The addition of Doranz was a significant factor in their success, producing 4 goals and 7 assists on the night. They will be looking to carry this momentum into their next game. The team had a total of 145 giveaways across the 3 games.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

1. Turnovers: The team had a total of 145 giveaways across three games, which is a high number and suggests that the team may have issues with maintaining possession and control of the puck.

Overall, the team needs to work on reducing turnovers and maintaining control of the game. They may also benefit from developing scoring depth beyond their top players to sustain their success in the long term.

====================================================================

The New Jersey Devils had a successful night with 2-0-1 record. They beat Ottawa 8-5 and defeated the top-seeded Philadelphia Flyers 4-2, but unfortunately lost to the Florida Panthers 6-5 in OT with only 5 seconds remaining. Their goalie SharkieMelody allowed 12 goals on 53 shots, indicating they need to focus on improving their defense as they are allowing more than 15 shots on their net per game. The team combined for 140 giveaways in 3 games for the night.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

1. Weak Defense: The team allowed 12 goals on 53 shots, indicating that they may have issues with their defensive strategy or execution. The fact that they are allowing more than 15 shots on their net per game is also concerning and suggests that they need to focus on improving their defensive play.

2. Turnovers: The team combined for 140 giveaways in three games for the night, which is a high number and suggests that they may have issues with maintaining possession and control of the puck.

Overall, the New Jersey Devils need to work on improving their defensive play and reducing turnovers. By doing so, they will be better able to control the game and maintain their success in future games.

====================================================================

The St Louis Blues had a perfect night with a 3-0 record. With none of their main goalies available, they played musical chairs between the crease, with Lxppy playing in net for game 1, facing 10 shots and only allowing 1 to fall against the Colorado Avalanche, winning that game 7-1. Patjoyce produced 3 goals and 3 assists at forward. For game 2 against the Anaheim Ducks, LispDoge played in net, facing 17 shots against and allowing 5 to go in, but the team still won 7-5. Lappy and Epicxskillzy both put up a hat trick of their own in game 2, combining for 14 points that game. In the final game against the Nashville Predators, Epicxskillzy played in net and stopped 7 of 12 shots, helping St Louis win 7-5. The team also put up 54 hits, injuring all of Nashville’s players in the process. The team combined for a total of 123 giveaways in 3 games.

Weakness (ChatGPT): 

St. Louis Blues’ weakness could be their lack of consistent goaltending. With none of their main goalies available, they had to rotate between different players in net, which could lead to inconsistency and uncertainty in their defense. 

In addition, while the team put up 54 hits, injuring all of Nashville’s players in the process, it is important to note that such a physical playstyle could lead to penalties leading to fatigue on players towards key moments of the game

Finally, the team had a total of 123 giveaways in 3 games, which is a relatively high number and indicates that they need to work on their puck control and avoid costly turnovers in future games.

====================================================================

The San Jose Sharks had a decent night on Tuesday with a 2-1 record. They started off strong with an 8-4 victory over the Colorado Avalanche and followed it up with a 6-4 win against the Anaheim Ducks. However, they fell short against the Arizona Coyotes, losing 5-2. One standout player was Ande91, who made his debut for San Jose and had an impressive 9 points across the 3 games played. On the defensive end, their goalie Dooteees faced a total of 39 shots and allowed 10 goals to go in. The team showed improvement in their puck control, only allowing 105 giveaways on the night.

Weakness (ChatGPT): 

While the San Jose Sharks had a solid night overall, their goaltending may be a weakness that needs improvement. Dooteees allowed 10 goals on 39 shots, which gives him a save percentage of 0.743, below average for a starting goalie. Additionally, while their turnover numbers improved, they still had 105 giveaways across three games, which could lead to dangerous scoring opportunities for their opponents.

====================================================================

The Ottawa Senators had a decent night going against the bottom teams with a 2-1 record on the night. They won against the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 and the New York Islanders 6-1, but lost their last game against the better New Jersey Devils 8-5. They recently acquired star goaltender Chadkillz134, who made his debut and allowed 10 goals out of 49 shots in the 3 games he played, averaging 2 goals per 10 shots against. The team had a total of 108 giveaways in the 3 games played, but moved the puck well overall.

Weakness (ChatGPT): 

One potential weakness of the Ottawa Senators is their defensive play. Although they won two of their games with a large margin, they allowed a total of 14 goals in the three games played, suggesting that they may need to improve their defensive strategies and goaltending. Additionally, while their number of giveaways is not excessively high, it still indicates room for improvement in their puck control and passing accuracy.

====================================================================

The Colorado Avalanche had a tough night with a 1-2 record. They lost against the St Louis Blues 7-1 and the San Jose Sharks 8-4, but managed to defeat the Arizona Coyotes 4-2 in their third game. They allowed a total of 17 goals against 76 shots on the night, and need to improve their defense to prevent over 25 shots per game. The team had a total of 119 giveaways in the 3 games played and struggled to maintain possession of the puck in their end in all 3 games.

Weakness (ChatGPT): 

The weakness of the Colorado Avalanche seems to be their defense and puck possession. Allowing 17 goals against 76 shots indicates that they need to improve their defense to prevent their opponents from getting too many shots on their net. In addition, accumulating 119 giveaways in three games shows that they struggled to maintain possession of the puck in all three games, which can lead to turnovers and scoring opportunities for their opponents.

====================================================================

The Nashville Predators had 1-2 record in the 3 games played. They won their first game against the Anaheim Ducks 7-5, with defenseman Hyperzov leading their team in points with 9 in the 3 games. The team allowed a total of 19 goals on the night on 43 shots, with a save percentage of nearly .550%. They had only 115 giveaways in the 3 games, but struggled with making crucial saves to keep games closer.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

One weakness of the Nashville Predators appears to be their goaltending. Allowing 19 goals on just 43 shots with a save percentage of less than .550% suggests that their goalies may not be making the necessary saves to keep games competitive. This could be an area of focus for improvement in future games. Additionally, while their number of giveaways is relatively low, they may still need to work on maintaining possession of the puck to create more scoring opportunities and limit their opponents’ offensive chances.

====================================================================

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a rough night with a 0-3 record and lost by significant margins. They lost to the Ottawa Senators 4-1 in their first game, followed by a 7-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, and a 10-3 loss to the New York Islanders in their last game. They only scored 5 goals in total in the 3 games played. The team faced a total of 68 shots on the night, allowing 21 goals to go in. They need to make some changes going into Thursday to improve their performance. The team had only 92 giveaways in the 3 games, but had possession of the puck in their zone for much of the games.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ biggest weakness in these games was their defense and goaltending. Allowing 21 goals in three games is a significant concern, and they need to improve their defensive coverage to prevent opponents from getting so many quality scoring opportunities. Additionally, their goaltenders need to step up and make more saves to keep the team in the game. On the offensive side, they also struggled to score goals, with only 5 goals in 3 games. They need to find ways to generate more high-quality scoring chances and finish their opportunities.

====================================================================

The Anaheim Ducks had a tough night with a 0-3 record in the 3 games played. They lost 7-5 to the Nashville Predators in game 1, followed by a 10-5 loss to the St. Louis Blues in game 2. Their closest game was against the San Jose Sharks, with a final score of 6-4 for San Jose. They allowed a league-high of 23 goals on 53 shots on the night, struggling on the defensive end. They also had 132 giveaways in the 3 games, giving away passes to the opposing team’s forwards all night.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

The weakness of the Anaheim Ducks appears to be their defense. They allowed a league-high of 23 goals on only 53 shots on the night, indicating that their opponents were able to score on a large percentage of their shots. The Ducks also struggled with turnovers, with 132 giveaways in the 3 games played. These turnovers can give the opposing team’s forwards more opportunities to score, which puts even more pressure on the defense to prevent goals. To improve their performance, the Ducks will need to focus on tightening up their defense and minimizing turnovers.

====================================================================

The New York Islanders had a 1-2 record on the night. They lost to the Florida Panthers 4-2 and the Ottawa Senators 6-1, but managed to secure a good victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a final score of 10-3 in their last game. They had a total of 13 goals for and 13 goals against on the night, essentially breaking even on the goal differential. The only game they won did not feature JonTurner in the lineup, which may suggest that he is their weak link. The team allowed 135 giveaways in the 3 games played.

Weakness (ChatGPT):

The New York Islanders’ weakness appears to be their inconsistency and lack of defensive stability. They allowed a total of 13 goals in their first two games and struggled to control the puck, with 135 giveaways in the 3 games played. Additionally, JonTurner may be their weak link, since without him in the lineup when they won a game, which could indicate that they are lacking depth or struggling with player chemistry.

Week 2 power rankings

Well, that was an eventful week. These intros become more and more boring and I apologize. I can’t think anymore. More of the same from the top teams, and bottom teams. And shifting within the middle. Lets jump in and take a look.

Image

Number 1. As a surprise to no one, Philly remains at the top of the rankings. A perfect week will certainly do that. Picking up key victories over New Jersey and fLorida to take a 7 point lead into week 2. This week will be a test as they play both teams again as well as the four top teams in the West. (Same)

Number 2. Arizona. The Coyotes seem to be the cream of the crop out West as they finish the week 8-1 with the lone loss coming against St. Louis. A trade to acquire Bej gives them the Game 7 RW they’ve been searching for and may solidify them as the best in the West. (Same)

Number 3. Florida Panthers. The roster looks a bit different than it did after the draft. All but 3 have been shipped out (Fact check me I may be wrong) but the 3 that remain are important. Trades to acquire clampse and Doranz make this team almost perfect (Peace has to play d). Gonna need to win more than 6 a week to catch Philly. (UP 3)

Number 4. New Jersey. The Devils won 7 this week to catapult back into the mix in the east. The brother duo on D has been great while John x Semp have been able to carry the load up front. Alonzi has been good enough to get them here today. (UP 4)

Number 5. San Jose Sharks. Randy rallied the troops and brought the Sharks back to life. With First place very much in reach, the Sharks will look to replicate the Success from last week. Also is their best forward also their best goalie???? Keep it up Randy. (UP 4)

Number 6. St Louis. Another average week for the Blues. 2 loses at the hands of the Sharks and a 0-3 Friday killed what could’ve been a solid week to keep pace with Arizona. Instead they’re looking up at two teams. Lineups look promising for next Friday, maybe they can win one. ( DOWN 2)

Number 7. Colorado. The Avs won 3 games this week and managed to stay in that 4 spot in the west. Again OT losses just keep piling up. Maybe this is the week they turn those into 2 points to distance themselves from Nashville. At the end of the day, they will need to do better. (SAME)

Number 8. Nashville. While this roster is better than Colorado, I sense that the end is near. Hyper and Fish lasted this long (Hyper barely playing) and have found themselves out of the playoffs a week before the deadline. Still waiting to see what big solo said he was cooking. (DOWN 3)

Number 9. Ottawa. Well. How the mighty have fallen. Following a 7-2 start, the Sens said let’s see if we can do that but reverse. And they did. A 2-7 week drops them all the way to 4th in the east and prompted a destruction of the roster. Out of the original drafted team 2 will remain strong. Looking for a bounce back week in week 3. (DOWN 6)

Number 10. This is the part of the list that won’t change for the foreseeable future. Pittsburgh. Despite having their GM quit down 2-0 on a Tuesday, they fought hard and showed a lot of heart. New GM smitty will need to quickly turn the ship around if they want to catch Ottawa. (Same)

Number 11. Anaheim. The Ducks are the best of the worst! We are 2 weeks in and 3 of their top 4 picks (other one being traded) have played a combined 6 games with first round pick playing 0. This was seen from a mile away however and no trade egg will make sure the day 1 team will be the team he ends with.  (Same)

Number 12. The New York Islanders. Well, they won a game! My new home will need a comeback for the ages if we want to sneak into the playoffs. I think I could be the guy for the job. Sports Geek has now traded his first 3 picks of the draft in what will certainly be a model for new GMs on what not to do. (Same for the next 4 weeks)

Thanks for reading this junk. I try hard. Keep telling me I’m an idiot. To the people who don’t like truc, get used to it, I’m comin in hot this week.

Tuesday Recap

Hello everyone it’s your boy ChatGPT with my first time covering Game nights. We’ll get right into what transpired Tuesday Night in SPNHL.

The Philadelphia Flyers had an outstanding night with a 3-0 record on the night. With producing a total of 16 goals scored for and only 4 against. Heedlesjem led the charge offensively with 2 goals and 11 assists for 13 points in the three games. Their goalie, Turkey Tennis, had a solid performance, allowing only three goals on 31 shots, with two of the games resulting in shutouts.

Weakness:
None according to ChatGPT

____________________________________________________________________________________

The St. Louis Blues also had a successful night with a record of 3-0, but their games were a bit closer. Epicxskillzy was their standout player, leading the team with 3 goals and 7 assists for a total of 10 points in the three games. The team scored 14 goals for and allowed 10 against, showing some vulnerability on the defensive end.

Weakness: 

ChatGPT: It appears that the St. Louis Blues may have had some weaknesses in their defensive play during their games last night, as they allowed 10 goals against in three games, despite winning all three games. This suggests that their goaltending and/or defensive play may need improvement, as they may have relied more heavily on their offensive players, such as Epicxskillzy to win games. It is also worth noting that the games were described as being “a bit closer,” indicating that the team may have had some difficulty closing out games and maintaining leads.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Arizona Coyotes had a strong showing with a 2-1 record, with their only loss being to the Blues, possibly all thanks to the disconnection of LispDoge internet. Though in the game against the Blues, they put up a good fight but ultimately lost 3-2. Mrlolchico had a standout performance with 13 points on the night, even with his broken controller, getting 9 points in game two against the Islanders where they scored 12 goals. Overall, the team had 16 goals for and only 6 against, showcasing some strong offensive and defensive play.

Weakness:
ChatGPT: It appears that the Arizona Coyotes had a strong showing in their games last night, with a 2-1 record and impressive offensive and defensive play. However, it is worth noting that their only loss was to the St. Louis Blues, and it was mentioned that LispDoge’s disconnection may have contributed to the loss. This suggests that the team may have some vulnerability in their ability to adapt and perform under unexpected circumstances or adversity. 

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Ottawa Senators had a tough night with a record of 1-2 on the night. They lost to the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 and the San Jose Sharks 4-3, producing a total of 8 goals on the night and allowing 8 goals against. Gunnnxrr had a tough time tonight with his teammates not putting up more than 3 goals in a game, ultimately costing them from stealing an extra point in the game against the San Jose Sharks. He managed to allow only 8 goals on 48 shots, putting up impressive numbers with a .833 SV% in the process.

Weakness:

ChatGPT: It appears that the weakness of the Ottawa Senators in their games last night was their offensive production. Despite allowing only 8 goals against, the team was only able to produce 8 goals on the night, with no player standing out as a particularly dominant offensive force.
____________________________________________________________________________________

The Colorado Avalanche had a record of 1-2 on the night. They scored a total of 7 goals and allowed 8 goals against. They lost their first game to the Philadelphia Flyers 1-0. ThaFoSix led the team defensively with 18 interceptions, 10 takeaways, and only giving the puck away 17 times. He also averaged a point per game in the 3 games he played.

Weakness:
ChatGPT:

The weakness of the Colorado Avalanche in their games last night was their lack of offensive production. They only scored a total of 7 goals in three games, with their first game resulting in a shutout loss. While ThaFoSix had a strong defensive performance, the team struggled to generate scoring opportunities and convert them into goals. This ultimately cost them two losses on the night.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Florida Panthers had a record of 2-1 on the night. They scored a total of 11 goals and allowed only 8 goals against. Thee_Ghosty led the team in points with 7 goals and 2 assists for 9 points in the 2 games he played. The team lost to the Ottawa Senators in a 2-1 game when Thee_Ghosty was not on the ice.(Thanks ChatGPT)


Weakness:
ChatGPT: One possible weakness for the Florida Panthers could be their inability to win games without a strong offensive performance from Thee_Ghosty. Their loss to the Ottawa Senators when he was not on the ice could suggest that they may struggle to generate enough scoring opportunities without him in the lineup. This could make them more predictable and easier for opposing teams to defend against, especially if Thee_Ghosty were to get injured or have an off night.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The San Jose Sharks had a 2-0-1 record with an overtime loss to the Florida Panthers. They produced a total of 17 goals for and allowed 8 goals against. Spelliscy was the top scorer for the team on the night, scoring 7 goals with 6 of them coming in the 9-1 win against the Trashville Predators.

Weakness:
ChatGPT: The weakness of the San Jose Sharks in the three games seems to be their high number of giveaways. 125 giveaways in three games is a significant amount, which can lead to turnovers and opportunities for their opponents to score. While their takeaways and interceptions combined are also high, they will need to work on reducing the number of giveaways to maintain their success.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The New Jersey Devils had a 2-1 record, with their loss coming from the St. Louis Blues. They produced a total of 15 goals for and allowed only 9 goals against. Defenseman xBeanZy- had 8 points with 3 goals and 5 assists, putting up 5 of his 8 points against St. Louis with a hat trick. John_dean16 was left “Feeling the blues” by the last-second goal from the St Louis Blues that ultimately gave them their only loss on the night.

Weakness:
ChatGPT: New Jersey had a high number of giveaways in their games, with 125 in total. This could be an area for improvement as turnovers can lead to scoring opportunities for the opposing teams like St Louis, who took advantage of them creating a possible chance where they got their last second goal giving them the win. 

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Nashville Predators had a tough night with a 0-3 record,  and only produced four goals on the night, while allowing 18 goals against. Their star player Fishhure had a terrible showing with 1 goal and 2 assists in 3 games, and also had 52 giveaways.  Both goalies, Leroy20123456 and JoshuaDuhaime, struggled with a combined 38 shots against them allowing over more than half of them to go in.

Weakness:

The weakness of the Nashville Predators is their lack of offensive output and poor defensive performance. They struggled to score goals and allowed a high number of goals against, which shows a lack of overall team defense. Additionally, their star player Fishhure’s poor performance and high number of giveaways further hurt their chances of winning games. Finally, the poor showing of their goaltenders allowed a high number of goals against, making it difficult for the team to stay competitive in their games.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Anaheim Ducks had a better night with a 2-1 record on the night. They produced 12 goals for and allowed 9 goals against. They had solid performances from Kinglordge124 and bstieboydp, who together produced 14 points total in the three games. Their only loss on the night came against the Philadelphia Flyers, who are considered to be a major juggernaut in the league, with the final score being 7-3 for the Flyers.

Weakness:

While the Anaheim Ducks had a relatively successful night, allowing only 9 goals against in 3 games, their defense still showed some weakness. Allowing 7 goals in a single game against the Philadelphia Flyers indicates that their defense may struggle against strong offensive teams. Overall, the Ducks may need to focus on shoring up their defensive efforts and finding more consistent scoring options to continue their success throughout the season.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a rough night with a 0-3 record, only producing 3 goals and allowing 11 goals against. Their owner quitting mid-game 1 and deleting the team discord certainly didn’t help their morale. However, Blade0Muffin’s performance in net prevented the games from becoming complete blowouts, facing 55 shots and allowing only 11 to go in. They faced tough opponents in the Arizona Coyotes, St. Louis Blues, and New Jersey Devils.

Weakness:

ChatGPT: 

1. Lack of Team Morale: The owner quitting mid-game and deleting the team discord would have certainly had a negative impact on team morale, which could affect their performance in future games.

2. Poor Goal Production: The team only managed to score three goals in three games, which is a very low scoring rate. This suggests a possible issue with the team’s offensive strategy or execution.

3. Weak Defensive Performance: Allowing 11 goals against in three games is quite high and suggests that the team may have issues with their defensive strategy or execution.

4. Over-reliance on Blade0Muffin:  Blade0Muffin’s performance in net was commendable, facing 55 shots in three games is a lot, which could suggest that the team’s defense is not providing adequate support.

Overall, the team needs to work on improving their offensive and defensive strategies, as well as addressing any team morale issues to turn their season around.

Players of week 1

Hello everyone is DogLisp here with another media post, this time we’re going to be getting into the 3 stars and the 3 not so much stars of the week!

Starting off we have our 3 stars of the week! These players played pivotal roles to their teams to help win games for Week 1.

Starting with the 3rd star of the week, we have the goaltender from the Ottawa Senators, Gunnnxrr! The Canadian goalie had a solid week with 5 wins and 0 losses, with a league leading 87.32SV%. He stopped 62 out of the 71 shots against him this week which helped catapult the Senators into first place in the league. He faced off against the top 3 teams in the west, allowing only a total of 5 goals in total against the Predators, Blues, and Coyotes. We’ll see if he can continue his hot streak into week 2.

Now with the 2nd star of the week we have xGenzy-_- from the Florida Panthers! In 7 games played he amassed 8 goals and 18 assists for 26 points, with a league leading interceptions among forwards at 42 INT. Genzy helped his team win 4 out of the 5 games they won in week 1. His solid backchecking helped create offensive chances against the Flyers, Ducks, and Blues which helped them win by a good goal margin in those games. We’ll see if he continues to heat up during week 2.

Finally the 1st star of the week, we go right back to the Ottawa Senators with BejimoSzn leading the way for all forwards with 31 PTS, and scoring over 43.75% in week 1. With a league leading 6-1 record at forward it’s no surprise to see him take the number 1 spot. We’ll see if he can maintain this pace against teams next week. Goodluck
Now onto our 3 Worst Performers Of the week! I wanna start by saying I wish I could just give the Islanders whole roster all 3 spots, but In reality we had another player who managed to do worse than a team who went 0-8-1.

Starting with the 3rd under performer, we have xShyne from the Pittsburgh Penguins with 2 wins and 5 losses and a -4 plus/minus. coming in with a 5 mil salary cap, he only obtained a 0 GV:TK rating which could be caused by limited puck possession during his 7 games.

The next under performer, we have JMM420 from the New York Islanders. another high salary player with a contract of 6 mil, finishes the week with 0 wins and 5 losses. Jmm420 produced only 6 points in 5 games and a -18 plus/minus. I have no doubt a player of your caliber will bounce back Week 2.

Our final under performer is little_man0909 primarily from new york Islanders as well. With a 6.20 GAA and a league low 61.73 SV%. It should be noted that he is presently a TC and is being i am sure played in the least ideal times and places as a team ready to win generally isn’t looking for a TC. Little_man by default is playing in harsh conditions. he did manage to have 3 close games in Week 1, against the likes of the Avalanche, Sharks, and Flyers, only allowing a minimum 3 goals against in those games facing an average of 13 shots per game. Hopefully he will shake off week 1 and bounce back strong for week 2.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to read another article made by me, I hope y’all have a good Week 2 in SPNHL. -DogLisp
