The SPNHL Players of the Week (Week 3)

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to another gutless edition of players of the week.

We have some new leaders this week in different stat categories so buckle in and we’ll get through this.

Top Forwards:

xBradeii get the player of the week award this time, putting up 44pts in 9 games, and shooting at 66.67%. He also had a good GV/TK ratio which is uncommon for high scoring forwards. Doranz my have trolled some stats here.

Honorable mentions go to Fish and Boknows for putting up the most goals, and Marucci for highest points per game.

Bej sucks for missing out on 8pts this week that bradeii managed to get.

Here are some other forwards who did something special this week…

Goon Squad of the week:

John Dean is out of control this season, guy can’t stay out of the box.

Pizza men of the week:

Fish may have had the most pizzas delivered this week, but I’m happy to see that Shady and Bean still are loyal to the craft!

Best ‘X’ button pressers:

Fish and Curtis are bff’s ong.

The players the opposing team passes to the most:

Hey Ande! I’d pass the puck to you too if I was playing against you.

Psychopaths on skates:

Cuban wins psychopath forward of the week! Also, WTH are these Washington guys doing???

Muffin man:

Ha! I’m glad egg didn’t accept that trade John’s so bad.

Now time to move on to the Dmen.

Top Defensemen:

Doranz with an absolute beast week putting up 12 more points than Dorris Turner.

Bart scoring 5 goals in 6 games is sus.

Shout out to Dorris Turner for almost having the best week on D.

Pliskin sneaks his way into the top 10 this week, even if it is with a -18.

Goon Squad:

Monster Truck Wheels is keeping a steady pace with the PIMs.

Play-boypaul gotta settle down a bit though, that’s a lot of PIMs for 2 games.

The Psychopaths:

Have these guys ever try playing without truculence?

Pizza men of the week:

I’m starting to think this crew is colorblind.

The ‘X’ button pressers:

Plisk ur a troll for tying me, this was my chance to be top in something.

The players the opposing team passes to the most:

How? How did Turner convince the other team to give him the puck?

C’mon goalie! Make a save! Squad:

Western Conference represented well here.

Now on to the Goalies…

Goalies of the Week:

Alonzi with a huge week in nets, this guy should’ve gotten all 9, Chad got in his way stealing some of those games from him.

Blademuffin with an undefeated week between the pipes as well.

Respect to Shockr for playing 6 games, winning 2 and then also losing 6? Didn’t even know that was possible!

Busy Goalies this week:

Cuban played 1 game, saw 31 shots and the team quit halfway through the 3rd.

Who wants a goal?

Honestly shocked to see Bray here, I’m guessing he was playing with the John Dean and Fluri goon line who only threw hits in their 3 games they played.

Each teams golden goose in week 3.

Unsung Heroes of the Week:

Mason came into the lineup for the Sharks on Friday and put on an absolute show, helped the Sharks break their 4 game losing streak and turned it into a 3 game win streak. No wonder Philadelphia put a greasy claim on him.

Lxppy played 6 games this week! Unreal commitment from the guy. Sometimes to be the hero all you have to do is show up.

Eggman goes forward for a night and puts up points!

Rookie with a strong week in point production. -12 kinda sucks but it wasn’t a great week for the Kings as a team anyways.

Serge lead his Avalanche in points this week, put this team on his back and got them out of the basement of the West

.

Shep scored 7 goals on 21 shots this week, huge improvement from last week.

Jub put up some good numbers for the flames in his 3 games on defense. The guy is normally a forward which makes this even more exceptional out of him.

Shockr should try playing this guy in nets on a more regular basis.

Buys his GM doordash, puts up a 92.86Sv%, still isn’t enough to stick around on Hughsy’s Flyers squad.

This might be the only week where Buffalo had a goalie put up a 80Sv%, he faced a lot of shots in those 2 games too, still couldn’t get a W though, poor fella got no help.

There you have it folks, another amazing players of the week article in the books!

Big questions coming for next week.

Will Fish finally get that #1 spot and pass Boknows in points?

Will Doranz put up another 3ppg week at D and runaway with Doris Turners Trophy?

Will Bradeii finally get cable?

Tune in next week!

SPNHL S45 Week 3 Team Stats

Welcome everyone to my new weekly analysis of each team’s weekly performance. With what seems to have been a much different week for most teams than last I thought it would be interesting to show where each team has improved, maintained, or regressed in week 3 compared to week 2.

Below you will see each teams’ stats for Week 2 and Week 3, then under that is a table that shows the difference between each week’s performance (Green means good, red means bad).

Carolina and Calgary both going 8-1 this week. Sharks have a tough week losing 5 games.

This table shows the difference in wins, losses, etc… from Week 2 to Week 3

Sharks showing the worst point differential in Week 3 having 8 less points than Week2, but their goal differential is only -1.

Maple Leafs had a tougher week keeping games close compared to week 2 with a -31 goal differential.

Flames and Hurricanes had great weeks with +39 and +35 goal differentials from the week before.

Washington finally seeing some green in their stats by having a +14 goal differential from the week before and 1 more win.

Colorado also showing slight improvement, but Christ, hard not to improve after the week 2 they had.

Sabres also showing signs of falling off in Week 3, look to them to be one of the more improved teams in week 4.

Here are the power rankings for Week 3:

POWER RANKINGS
RANKTEAMWK 2DIFFRECAP
1Carolina Hurricanes4+2Carolina finally made it to the party ladies and gentlemen. Going 8-1-0 this week with their one loss in a 2-1L to Philadelphia, these guys offence is finally starting to reach its full potential. Doranz taking a step back from Fwd and playing D for these guys may be the biggest change they made to start seeing success. Expect these guys to keep narrowing the gap to catch the Flyers.
2Calgary Flames5+3Calgary has a big bounce back week going 8-1-0 and only allowing 14 goals against in 8 games (1 FFW) puts these guys 2nd in the power rankings. They made a trade to acquire LW karlssonisgod as well so expect these guys to hold onto the #1 spot in the West with a defined top 6.
3Philadelphia Flyers1-2Philly went 5-3-1 this week which is their worst one so far this season. Although they had a couple tough L’s, they are staying consistent, so I don’t expect these guys to fall any lower than 3rd in a power rankings. Their trade to acquire KyleJ and Sniiider makes these top 6 even stronger now, we’ll see if it is enough to maintain top dog in the league.
4San Jose Sharks2-2A disappointing 4-5 week for the Sharks, they lost 4 in a row heading into Friday but managed to save face by going 3-0 on Friday. The Sharks defense let down the forwards this week allowing 14 more GA than the previous week. Having said that the Sharks acquired 2 dmen at the deadline so there could be some hope of getting that dumbass Randymarsh off the blueline and putting someone better there.
5Buffalo Sabres3-2These Sabres had a tough week, going 3-6-0 is their worst week by far and taking some tough L’s to Colorado and Toronto. Their availability and lack of goaltending seem to be their biggest issues, but they made a trade at the deadline acquiring binklee and illusionz, so as long as the availability tidies itself up expect a big week out of these guys.
6Washington Capitals8+2Washington finally has a positive week going 5-4-0, these guys have consistently lost a minimum of 4 games a week and being in a tough division I don’t expect that to get better anytime soon. Eggman decided to make no moves at the deadline or at all this season so I think he must be ok being 6th best team in the League. Kind of a gutless move to not even attempt to improve your own team at some point in the season.
7Los Angeles Kings703-6-0 week for the Kings, I think its arguably their worst week of the season so far. Big 6-2 W coming against the Sharks mid-week but followed it with a disappointing 11-1 loss which they quit midway through the 3rd period. Cuban did make 1 move though, grabbing complexiti for ivanthygreat at the deadline, hopefully that move will give these guys a few more options on offence. 
8Toronto Maple Leafs6-2The Leafs didn’t have a terrible week in the standings going 4-5-0, but they allowed 37 more goals against than the week before, so I think Devon took off the Monster Truck Wheels off his Goalie and put them on his dman instead logging 100 hits so far in 7 games. Devon decided to make a lot of trades this week moving Banana, Curtis, Karlsson, complexiti and acquiring Buckley, Heedless, Teamrun, Ivanthygreat, and Alonzi, these guys will remain somewhat competitive, but I think they will remain at the bottom of the East until the end of the season.
9Colorado Avalanche10+1Colorado has a big 3-6-0 week which is a 3-point improvement from last week. Climbing back into a playoff spot ahead of Vegas. They did make one trade in which they got Salda, Clake, and Cabrelix. This trade should help their offence a bit, but I think they’re going to have a tougher time keeping pucks out of their net with the loss of illusions and binklee. It’ll be a battle right to the end between Vegas and Colorado for the final playoff spot.
10Vegas Golden Knights9-1Golden Knights fell out of their playoff spot having a 2-7-0 week, they made a big trade moving their top D in KyleJ and strong Fwd in Sniiider and got back Jcpens (who hasn’t played since week 1), spelliscy and megga. Hopefully Jcpens shows up for these guys but if he wasn’t showing up for the top team, I doubt he’ll show up for the worst team. Shockr will battle for that playoff spot until the end so don’t count these guys out just yet though.

Carolina and Calgary at the top this week with drops from the Flyers, Sharks, and Sabres. Washington makes a nice climb up to the 6th spot as well.

Now that the trade deadline has passed it will be interesting to see which teams show improvement and which teams drop. I expect to see a lot of flip flopping still in the top 5, but the bottom 5 seem to have made trades that didn’t make their teams a whole lot better. Time will tell though.

Tune in next week for another trash article.

SPNHL SEASON 45 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK (WEEK 2)

SPNHL SEASON 45 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK (WEEK 2)

Here are your top performers of the week broken down by Forwards, Defensemen, and Goalies. Minimum games played to make the list in each position is 3. So if you didn’t meet that criteria but had exceptional stats for your 1 or 2 games you wont find yourself on this list. Forwards and Defense are sorted by points per game for the week.

Week 2 Forward Stats:

Boknows and Karlsson take home 1st place this week as they both put up 4.6ppg, slight edge to Karlsson for scoring more goals though with an impressive 68.18 shooting %.

Missing from the list this week is Sherminator, who only put up a 1.9ppg in 8 Games, a considerable drop from his 4.9ppg last week. Also, Jcpens didn’t make the list this week, I don’t think he played a game actually.

Nice to see a Leaf make the list too, hopefully Toronto sees more of that in the weeks to come.

Week 2 Defense Stats:

Reimattack claims defenseman of the week by a landslide putting up a 2.6ppg and scoring 13 more points than the next highest dman. A real impressive 6.44 GV/TK ratio as well through 9 games.

Norris Turner is looking like he’s maintaining his usual carried stats from being on the best offensive team in the league, way to go Jon!

I’m going to toot my own horn here and congratulate myself RandyMarsh on scoring 3 goals this week on D (which none actually came from the point so really I have troll stats).

Week 2 Goalie Stats:

Theres the Liljxgren numbers we remember from last season, putting up a 93.62% this week in Toronto and a shutout along with it! Buffalo is probably pretty pissed off at him right now for putting up basic bitch numbers for them.

Megga cleaned up his SV% this week as well, pretty much stopping 20% more pucks than last week.

I don’t know how Shockr managed to go 1-1 in 4 games, but he should probably clean that up at some point.

ItsBinklee had a respectable 3 games but couldn’t pull off a W for his Avalanche, maybe the team scoring a few more goals a game would help that though.

Chad had a tough week in Calgary only getting 1 W but his stats aren’t terrible, another scenario where the offense didn’t come through for him I’d say.

Now for the real prestigious awards of the week…

Forwards

Biggest Goon:

Wow what a troll this guy is.

Muffin Man:

Come on Shep bury those.

Can’t Win a Faceoff:

Reigning champ of losing faceoffs!

Pizza Delivery Man’s Favorite Customer:

Loves When Teams Score in his Net:

Illusion and Serge are great guys, excellent sportsmanship.

Goalies

Who Wants a Goal?

Tough week for Tibod, save those games for the Sharks though next time.

Can we Switch to Beach Balls?

I don’t know if switching to beach calls will help this guy.

Great Way to Stay in Shape:

I hope you drank your electroids after those games (right Mike?)

All right all right enough troll awards, god those take a long time to do, need people to start being more trolly so I have an easier time finding gutless stats to call out.

Here are the unsung heroes of each team this week, a lot of tough decisions to make and trying not to repeat from last week so here we go.

Unsung Heroes for Each Team This Week

San Jose:

Calgary:

Los Angeles:

Vegas:

Colorado:

(Played D)

Philadelphia:

Buffalo:

 (Played D)

There you have it folks, another great week of SP in the books and time to move on to week 3. Get your availability in and get your 3 games in to have a better chance at being on the leaderboards.

Need more gutless hockey though, easier to do troll awards.

SPNHL S45 Week 2 Team Stats

Welcome everyone to my new weekly analysis of each team’s weekly performance. With what seems to have been a much different week for most teams than last I thought it would be interesting to show where each team has improved, maintained, or regressed in week 2 compared to week 1.

Below you will see each teams’ stats for Week 1 and Week 2, then under that is a table that shows the difference between each week’s performance (Green means good, red means bad).

9Vegas Golden Knights35173050-20
10Colorado Avalanche17132146-25

Toronto?? WTH?? How’d they pull off 3rd best record of the week??

This table shows the difference in wins, losses, etc… from Week 1 to Week 2. Toronto for example had 3 more wins, 4 less losses, and one more OTL this week compared to Week 1. If I could go back, I would’ve taken out the OTL’s and just counted them as losses but it was critical for the PTS column to make sense to me at the time I thought.

Toronto also scored 2 more goals than last week and allowed 21 less. Substantial performance change for the better in Toronto making them the most improved team in Week 2.

LAK, VGK, WSH, PHI, and BUF all had similar performances to last week, showing more consistent play.

Colorado and Calgary on the other hand, have dropped off considerably from Week 1. Calgary had a +30  Goal Differential in Week 1, but in Week 2 they dropped to a -8 Goal Differential, causing their comparison to be a -38 between the 2 weeks. Somehow Colorado went from scoring the least amount of goals in Week 1 to scoring even less in Week 2. Both these teams had some issues on the ice this week and are looking to regroup to get back to their Week 1 caliber of play.

I know that last week I didn’t write a power rankings article, but for those who listen to the podcast you would’ve heard us say that for the most part, the Regular Season Standings were a fair reflection of the rankings could or should be.

Having said that, here is my take on the power rankings after Week 2, using the Week 1 Standings as the initial bar for the rises and falls of each team.

POWER RANKINGS

RANKTEAMWK 1DIFFRECAP
1Philadelphia Flyers10The Flyers are dominating the league right now, only sus loss is to the LA Kings but they didn’t have their top guys in for that one. With the top scoring player in the league and “Norris Defenseman” Jon Turner, these guys will tough to knock down from the top in the weeks to come.
2San Jose Sharks4+2San Jose has moved from 4 to 2 this week in the power rankings after going 8-1-0 with their only loss coming at the start of the week to Buffalo. The Sharks seemed to have cleaned up their defensive play a bit and maintained solid offense.
3Buffalo Sabres30Buffalo maintains their #3 spot after week 2, they weren’t quite as good as week 1 but they made a huge trade which could potentially boost this team up to battle with the flyers for the #1 spot. Their 4-3-2 record this week is good enough to keep them at #3 for now.
4Carolina Hurricanes6+2Carolina climbs up 2 spots this week after going 5-3-1 (with one loss being a FF). They had availability issues at times during the week so to have a positive record even with the FF is huge for these guys. Keep an eye on the Hurricanes to keep climbing in the standings and take a run at Buffalo and Philadelphia.
5Calgary Flames2-3Calgary falls 3 spots this week after starting off real hot in week 1. A 4-5-0 record in week 2 and having a -8 total goal differential in those 9 games makes me wonder if week 1 was just a fluke of favorable matchups? Either way we can chalk this up to an off week for this squad and expect them to come back next week with a positive winning record.
6Toronto Maple Leafs10+4Wow, who saw this coming? After Devon selling what seemed every pick he made in the top 4 rounds he has somehow managed to salvage the team (with the help of Curtis) after a disappointing Week 1 and has bounced back in Week 2 with a 5-2-2 record and climbed into the playoff race. Great work over there in Toronto and keep it up. Easy decision to bump them up 4 spots.
7Los Angeles Kings8+1LA Kings move up one spot over the Capitals after posting a 4-4-1 record this week and getting a W over the Flyers. Cuban and his Kings are looking to keep improving and maintain their 3rd spot in the West for a playoff appearance which Cuban missed out on last season.
8Washington Capitals7-1One of the more disappointing teams so far this season, these guys have a lot of solid players, but it seems things just aren’t clicking over there right now in Washington. They’ve gone 4-5-0 two weeks in a row now and have moved out of a playoff spot. Eggman needs to figure some stuff out here soon before it’s too late and the Leafs take off on him.
9Vegas Golden Knights90Well, the Golden Knights looked to be the bottom feeders after game 4 this week allowing 33 goals in 4 games (yikes) then Shockr made a bold trade and acquired kylej, sniider, and karlsson from Buffalo. Then they went on to finish the week losing to Philly in OT and beating Buffalo. Keep an eye on these guys next week, they may be building to something better here in Vegas.
10Colorado Avalanche5-5Poor Plisk, when it rains it pours in Colorado. Originally ranked #1 for West teams, fell to 5th in the power rankings after Week 1, then only getting 1 win this week puts him at the bottom of the league and 2pts out of a playoff spot. Not all hope is lost yet though with this team, if they get the availability of the right guys more and start getting some chem, these guys could climb back into the playoff picture yet. Only two points out with 27 games to go is more than enough time.

I hope you enjoyed my nerdy team stats I did up, and the Power Rankings. Take it upon yourselves to explain what the hell happened to your team this week in the public chat, and hit up Pliskin for some pod questions in the #askthecommish section in the discord.

Looking forward to bringing this article back for Week 3 and see who’s getting their shit together and who’s not.

The REAL (?) SPNHL S45 Post Draft Breakdown

THIS IS A PARODY – Relax your tits!

Are you asleep reading that last article? Looking for some excitement in your life? Tired of the same blah blah blah from my lily-livered 3rd cousin, Randy Marsh? Well lucky you, my name is Hsram Ydnar. And I’m here to be your real source for SPNHL news. I don’t survive hurricanes, hurricanes survive me.

I am here to do a REAL breakdown. Not that hot dog water Randy and Doranz gave the SPNHL faithful. The toughest choice I had make was, do I read that junk they wrote or do I turn on the SPNHL podcast and listen to the most bland pathetic intro in all of podcasts. Give us some dang enthusiasm Cuban. Well the choice was easy, after reading the prior article doing about 69 seconds of research, here’s what I came up with.

Eastern Conference

Carolina Hurricanes

Owner: Doranz

Roster: xBradeii–, Lxppy–, Blade0Muffin, BejimoSzn, bxnana–, Jets76-bradyk14, FoxI14I, Bayest_King_Lu, TIMBOGY, X3_Svechnikov_X7

I ain’t doing ratings. Suck it. But I will give you this

Best pick: Lxppy  (for where he was drafted, xBradeii was to obvious to pick)

Worst pick: Bejimoszn

Strengths: Offense and players that will actually play for their GM. All the scared GMs will regret letting guys like Bradei and Lxppy slip.

Weaknesses: Defense, based on talent everywhere else. Bejimoszn is easily the weakest link. He’s over here, over there, never where you need him to be.

Philadelphia Flyers

Owner: Hughsy28-

Roster: BoKnows88-, reimatttack34, Jcpens22, JonTurner15-, II-megga-II, Spelliscy_21, Maintenance_84, sportsgeek5, LispDoge, Spinnermcgee, Billyg7718, NYfrijoles

Best pick: Boknows88

Worst pick: Spinnermcgee LOL

Strengths: Balance in the starting line. I feel this team is extremely balanced that starts with a great d pair in Hughsy & Reimattack. Bo is a scorer that the offense will go as he does.

Weaknesses: I hate using this term because it’s usually everyones issue in SP, but Depth. I don’t see much outside of their top 6. Sportsgeek could compete with JonTurner for starting tendy. Doesn’t scream excellence.

Buffalo Sabres

Owner: Ustoopiid

Roster: kylej83, Ande91, KarlssonIsGod, Sniiider, Liljxgren, xsalda-, Clake, CabRelix, X7-Arrow-7X, ShadyKo4, Nomoderation, Savage_Eze26

Best pick: Kylej83

Worst pick: Clake and picking the Buffalo Sabres as your organization.

Strengths: Defense will be king in Buffalo. With uStoopiid (stupid spelled it wrong) and Kyle defending the crease all the goalie has to do is be awake. Or competent.

Weaknesses: Goaltending. With no true number one, The Sabres lack someone stopping rubber consistently. Also no depth at Center whatsoever.

Washington Capitals

Owner: Eggman–1

Roster: John_Dean_16, Fluri37, FreezeMothasucka, NowYoDead, Bray4x_Fyb, AlecMcLay7, PghFANATIC, Turdburgler169, Jockey138, Terrance2nice, RiCKYxBoBBYjr, Troyuh-_-

Best pick: John Dean

Worst pick: PghFanatic (probably one of the worst sp players of all time)

Strengths: Center Depth. Washington has two of the best Centers in all of SP. It pains me to say something so nice about Fluri. Oh and versatility.

Weaknesses: Scoring consistently will be a weakness for this team, John is capable of controlling the play but outside of him there just isn’t much there. It will take a surprise pick or sleeper to step up.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Owner: WheelChairDevon

Roster: Fishhure, Jhursi, Complexitii-, xMarucci–. Philmorin, teamrun420, pistolpete7788_, fatalfire16, Jeanthedon42, xPugz_420, Thee_Ghosty, bg9m9r

Best pick: Jhursi

Worst pick: Fishhure

Strengths: Only one I see is chemistry between Jhursi and Fishhure. Outside of that, nothing. Actually, so strong I didn’t have anything else to write about. Thanks!

Weaknesses: Compatibility, scoring, goaltending, do I need to go on?

Western Conference

Colorado Avalanche 

Owner: SA_Pliskin

Roster: Hardie, rich2k8, scorezov, flowsoclean, itsbinklee, illusionz_13, race2chasee, sergein, tibod, reallUncleLarry, Mgm2425, sourrrBH

Best pick: Scorezov

Worst pick: Hardie, overrated. Basically shouldn’t have been picked first.

Strengths: This forward line is really good. Even though I made a comment about Hardie earlier don’t be fooled, this forward group is going to do a lot of damage.

Weaknesses: Defense, penalties and goaltending. Plisk loves a good bad hit which will lead to them  killing a lot of penalties. I don’t see The Avalanche having the goalies to bail them out here.

San Jose Sharks

Owner: Randymarsh2012

Roster: Bxrt67, Philnee, Buckleyx14, Curtisx18x, IamSmokxy-_-, korrowan, xFlashify, Logan29-_-, Beeper_tha_1st_a, LaterSmitty, VBumqs-, Dooteees

Best pick: Bart

Worst pick: iamsmokxy

Strengths: Breakouts. When Bart plays this team will be able to breakout with the best of them. I expect them to be a top power play unit as well. Left side of the ice.

Weaknesses: Barts availability.  I can’t see this going far without him. Smokey’s constant yapping will also be an issue. Randy could’ve done better. I taught him better.

Vegas Golden Knights

Owner: Shock_R

Roster: Beanzy, LeCupidon, premierplayer, Mr-_-Goobs, Thafosix, heroic_veil2, HAC_Rambo, Korrupto-777, pc3pseidon, A-Mason_4, xGilmour93, LUYEYEP123, Lieutenantemu

Best pick: Beanzy

Worst pick: Premierplayer

Strengths: Two great wingers in Beanzy and lecupidon. Literally nothing else.

Weaknesses: I don’t need to bring up Premierplayer here do I? No, no I don’t, everyone already knows. Much like Toronto, this team has nothing outside of two good forwards.

Calgary Flames

Owner: Chadkillz134

Roster: MrllolChico, Semple19, J_Sherminator, xShxyne, heedlessjem48, alonzi401, Washko86, Jubjjjjjub, Ndirishman22, Alltro1, Lyrad99, DustyRoads052

Best pick: J_Sherminator

Worst pick: Chico and Dustyroads

Strengths: Goaltending and versatile. Semple and Sherminator should produce at a decent pace.

Weaknesses: While I picked Chico as the worst pick it’s not skill related. He just simply wasn’t worth taking inside the top 5. Dustyroads is guy similar to Pgh. Just bad.

LA Kings

Owner: Cuban1616

Roster: DetAjax17, SliyumShady, EL_Rookie, IvanthyGreat, Mikey92123, xshepxrd, gamertagrequird, CTN_laneyboo, Martok77, we345_-, X_apex-killa_x, Play-boyPaul420

Best pick: Not one good pick but if I had to pick it be El Rookie. Sigh.

Worst pick: Sliyumshady

Strengths: Decent defense.  Nothing else, I’m falling asleep trying to find another strength here.

Weaknesses: Cubans draft mentality. This GM missed on every single pick and I’m hoping this provides some locker room motivation to pull off some upsets. Im always rooting for the underdog but you won’t catch me placing any bets on The Kings.

I won’t be predicting any records or be giving out  any grades. I thinks it pretty obvious who did great, good, average and flat out failed. I will go ahead predict the Carolina Hurricanes to win it all. I can’t tell you who they will be playing because the West reminds me of the circus from the Disney movie, A Bugs Life. In all reality this has potential to be one of the more competitive seasons in SP in a long time and I look forward to it, well until the first big trape that is. Get ready!

Better than Randy,

SPNHL S45 Post Draft Team Rankings

RandyMarsh here, your local two-time hurricane survivor.

I did a breakdown of the teams in the Eastern Conference while Doranz- does the breakdown of the West.

The toughest choice I had was picking which team between Buffalo and Philadelphia would be ranked #2, I expect both of these teams to have some real good games against one another, Jmosh is gonna want to get some serious stream coverage on that shit fo sho.

Eastern Conference

Carolina Hurricanes

Owner: Doranz-

Roster: xBradeii–, Lxppy–, Blade0Muffin, BejimoSzn, bxnana–, Jets76-bradyk14, xDeBrincat, TommyDubz_716, TIMBOGY, X3_Svechnikov_X7

Projection: 1st in East

Forward Rating: 10/10

Defense Rating: 9/10

Goalie Rating: 8/10

Strengths: This teams offense will be the strongest in the league at any given night, even their 4th forward would be a starter on any other team. I don’t expect Randymarsh to survive these hurricane games….

Weaknesses: I’m not too familiar with their defensive depth pieces, but there could be potential issues with the talent level.

Overall Grade: A+

Philadelphia Flyers

Owner: Hughsy28-

Roster: BoKnows88-, reimatttack34, Jcpens22, PickleTickler69, II-megga-II, Spelliscy_21, Maintenance_84, Sportsgeek5, LispDoge, Billyg7718, NYfrijoles

Projection: 2nd in East

Forward Rating: 8/10

Defense Rating: 10/10

Goalie Rating: 7/10

Strengths: With Hughsy and Reim on defense this team will have one of the best d-pairings in the league, also with Megga and the option to put Jonturner in nets I wouldn’t expect to score too many goals against these guys,

Weaknesses: The lack of Centre depth could be a potential issue for these guys, just recently heard that LispDoge could’ve been the sleeper of the draft and for this Flyers squad I hope that is true. Having Boknows is real nice for this squad though, expect him to have the puck often.

Overall Grade: A

Buffalo Sabres

Owner: uStooPiiD

Roster: kylej83, Ande91, KarlssonIsGod, Sniiider, Liljxgren, xSalda-, Clake, CabRelix, X7-Arrow-7X, Shadyko4, Nomoderation, Savage_Eze26

Projection: 3rd in East

Forward Rating: 8/10

Defense Rating: 10/10

Goalie Rating: 6/10

Strengths: This d-pairing of ustoopid and kylej83 scares me more than Philadelphias pair, both guys have religiously given me a hard time anytime I’ve ever played them. With Ande, Karlsson, Sniiider, and salda being the spare depth forward, this team will be tough to compete against.

Weaknesses: Liljxgren had a great playoff run last season with the Capitals but he didn’t have many regular season games played, I’m concerned this team’s biggest struggle could be finding a goalie each night. But with the type of defense they will have in front of them, a monkey could get the job done.

Overall Grade: A

Washington Capitals

Owner: Eggman–1

Roster: John_Dean_16, Fluri37, FreezeMothaSucka, NowYoDead, Bray4x_Fyb, AlecMcLay7, PghFANATIC, Turdburgler, Jockey138, Terrance2nice, RiCKYxBoBBYjr, Troyuh-_-

Projection: 4th in East

Forward Rating: 8/10

Defense Rating: 7/10

Goalie Rating: 8/10

Strengths: This team will never have a bad forward line on the ice, getting AlecMcLay in the 6th round was a real nice pick too. Bray4x was one of the top goalies in the draft as well, with turdburgler backing him up these guys look solid.

Weaknesses: I wouldn’t necessarily call it a weakness, but defense will likely be the reason these guys lose any games, I think Eggman went all in with the idea that Freeze and Dead could fill those gaps on the blue line, but they both signed up for forward and the way this game plays there could be a good reason for that.

Overall Grade: B+

Toronto Maple Leafs

Owner: Wheelchairdevon8

Roster: Fishhure, Jhursi, Complexitii-, xMarucci–. Philmorin, Teamrun420, PistolPete7788, Frody410, JeanTheDon42, xPugz_420, Thee_Ghosty, bg9m9r

Projection: 5st in East

Forward Rating: 5/10

Defense Rating: 4/10

Goalie Rating: 5/10

Strengths: Ouf, compared to the teams above these guys don’t have much for strengths, fish and jhursi are nice to have, this team will be leaning on these guys heavily if they want to have a chance at winning games. Expect this team to have a minimum of 3 guys running truculence.

Weaknesses: Devon needs to find a first line LW, I don’t think complexitii will cut it with fish and jhursi, also this team would look a lot nicer on defense if pistolpete was more available than 3 a week.

Overall Grade: D

Now here is Doranz- breakdown of the West teams.

Western Conference

Colorado Avalanche 

Owner: SA_Pliskin

Roster: Hxrdie-, rich2k8 , scorezov, flowsoclean, ItsBinklee, illusionz_13, race2chasee, Sergein, tibod, reallUncleLarry, Mgm2425, sourrrBH

Projection: 1st in the west 

Fwd: 8/10

Def 6/10

G 6/10

Strengths: 

pliskin put together one of the best fwd lines in SP with Having hardie, Scorezov, and rich this is going to give this team an opportunity to outscore any team.

Also, this team has extremely good depth and very well managed.

Weaknesses; 

I can see the Defense either being hit or miss literally, Pliskin is a goon.

 Goalie availability could be an issue w binklee can only play 5 could see plisk in net every once in a while.

Overall Grade: A

San Jose Sharks

Owner: Randymarsh2012

Roster: Bxrt67, Philnee, Buckley, curtisx18x, Iamsmokxy-_-, Korrowan, xFlashify, Logan29-_-, Beeper_tha_1st_a, LaterSmitty, VBumqs-, Dooteees

Projection: 2nd in the west 

Fwd: 7/10

Def 7/10

G: 5/10

Strengths: 

Bxrt at defense will be able to breakout the puck and carry the defense workload.

Randy Phill and buck are a really good fwd line

Expect Logan29-_ to be the surprise player kid has thumbs

Weaknesses:

Biggest thing for this team is availability 

Sus Goalie 

Overall Grade: B+

Vegas Golden Knights

Owner: Shock_r

Roster: xBeanZy, LeCupidon, premierplayer, Mr-_-goobs, ThaFoSix, Heroic_veil2, xHAC_Rambo, Korrupto-777, pc3pseidon, A-mason_4, xGilmour93, LUYEYEP123, Lieutenantemu

Projection: 3rd in the west

Fwd: 7/10

Def: 6/10

G: 6/10

Strengths:

Bean!!!!!!!! And LeCupidons in between the Leg dekes.

Consistent Goalie.

Weaknesses:

PremierPlayer just a skating liability on offense.

Shock_r could be consistently good or bad.

Avail in their Star player.

Defense could surprise everyone but probably not 

Overall Grade: B

Projection: 4th in the west (could be 3rd)

Fwd: 5/10

Def: 7/10

G: 9/10

Strengths:

ChadKillz and this team defense won’t let much in 

Weaknesses:

Dont see this Fwd line producing much

No depth

No Top talent

Overall Grade: B        

LA Kings

Owner: Cuban1616

Roster: DetAjax17, SliyumShady, EL_R_O_O_K_I_E, IvanThyGreat, Mikeyl92123l, xshepxrd, Gamertagrequird, CTN_laneyboo, Martok77, we345_-, X_apex-killa_x, Play-boyPaul420

Projection; 5th in the West

Fwd: 3/10

Def: 5/10

G: 3/10

Strengths:

Hopefully alot of heart

Depth at defense 

Weaknesses:

No Fwds to score the puck.

Mid Dmen wont be able to produce offense.

Goalie might be a hit or miss.

No top talent.

Overall Grade: D-       

Here is the team rankings as a league based on the Overall Grades given:

  1. Carolina Hurricanes A+
  2. Philadelphia Flyers A
  3. Buffalo Sabres A
  4. Colorado Avalanche A
  5. Washington Capitals B+
  6. San Jose Sharks B+
  7. Vegas Golden Knights B
  8. Calgary Flames B
  9. Toronto Maple Leafs D
  10. LA Kings D-

Well, it looks like the Eastern Conference will be top heavy this season (shocked!) with 4 of the top 5 ranked teams. The West looks like it will be a battle as well with all the rankings being similar. Toronto and LA have a lot to prove to start this season though, Doranz and I were not nice to them at all.

Have a fun season everyone, don’t break any controllers (John Dean).

Special thanks to Doranz- for doing the West breakdown for us and keeping me honest about my Sharks.

Stay Gutless SP,

RandyMarsh

THE SPNHL S45 PRE-DRAFT RANKING LIST

Now that all signups are done, I can finally give you guys an updated ranking for this season.

I’d like to reiterate that making this list was not only a chore, but extremely hard to do. I couldn’t dwell too hard on possibly moving guys up or down a few spots since each of you offer something unique on the ice that other players don’t.

For those players that I don’t know, I had to rank strictly off research alone, don’t take it personal. If I ranked you too low compared to what you think than just consider it a blessing, chances are you will get drafted lower which in turn makes you that much more valuable during this season.

For the players I do know, sorry if you don’t like your ranking, but suck it up and prove me wrong this season lol.

Biggest change I’d like to point out is that I moved Bartlett from #1 to #21 because he refused forward and dropped availability. Troll move bruh.

Players highlighted in yellow are your GM’s for this season.

Draft RankPSNPrimary PositionNotes
1xBeanZy-LWHighest point per game SP player to sign up this season.

19Philnee-LWSpeedy winger who has played LGNHL
20reimatttack34RDStrong RD, former cup champ from S43.
21Bartlett–67LDMultiple award winner last season, trolled and refused forward and put 4 a week as avail, had to take him out of the #1 position. Will still be one of the better D this season.

23j_sherminatorCStrong player, don’t know him well but I do know if you’re playing against him it wont be an easy game

30Jcpens22LWGood LW who can bury the puck with the best of them with the right opportunity.
31SniiiiderRWScores a lot, loves to shoot the puck. If you are needing a goal scorer in the 3rd round he would be a good choice.
32zqturnCTalented forward with good thumbs, paired with the right people and this guy could be a 3.5ppg player
33Curtisx18xCFormer GM and cup champion, solid all-around player. Can fill any void you have on your roster.

35Bray4x_FybGStrong stats in VGNHL this season, has respectable LG stats as well.
36Pistolpete_7788LDThis guy, greasy as they come. Has 847 SP games under his belt and has a 2.6ppg at forward and 1.3ppg at D, always a great guy to have on your team.
37JonTurner15-LDKids a troll but he plays goalie well and can surprisingly score goals (with the right teammates around him)
38FreezemothasuckaLWPlay this guy anywhere and you’ll be happy you have him, one of the more underrated players in SP
39xShxyneRDSolid RD who is offensively talented, good guy to have on the starting roster.
40xSalda-LWSneaky good LW who can score clutch goals, also not a bad dman when needed.
41xFlashifyG81.3 sv% in VGNHL, 82.2sv% in CNC, good G stats.’
42xshepxrdCTypically a dman, chose to go forward this season. Shep will get it done in any position though so don’t sleep on this guy.
43NowYoDeadCOne of the top Dmen last season on a below average team. Highly dependable and can play F well too.
44Faaa_KueueLDNot familiar with this player but his SP stats are solid, will likely be a good starting LD
45korrowanLDSolid LD who typically plays a strong physical game, also good at making the first pass out of the zone.
46Eggman–1LDSkilled LD who can play a shutdown role well, took his team to the cup finals last season after having a shaky start. One of the GMs this season.
47Blade0MuffinGSneaky strong G for a long time but is now known as a starting G in SP. Look for his name when it comes time to picking your goalie.
48LiljxgrenGHad very good stats last season in SP although only a limited number of games, his avail isn’t the best but I wouldn’t wait too long to pick this guy.
49Spelliscy_21LWStrong LW who likes to move the puck, paired with the right guys and he could be one of the higher scoring players.
50II-megga-IIGNot familiar with this guy but he has experience playing G in the LGNHL, this ranking could be the one I wasn’t even close on getting right compared to the others
51EL_R_O_O_K_I_ERWSolid RW/C who is very dependable, if you have an open spot on the right side of the ice in the 4th-5th round this is who you’ll want
52SA_PliskinLWCommish, GM, Coach, and player, this guy does it all, he’s been here since day 1. He will be owning again this season after a disappointing last season so expect him to turn it around this season. Strong left side of the ice guy who also plays between the pipes well too.
53CClark1999-CIf you want ur discord to blow up this guy is a great pick, refused G this season but he is a solid forward or dman option.
54Heedlessjem48COne of the better 2nd centers to have on your team, can fit in on a top line role well.
55teamrun420RDSolid dman with offensive talent. You won’t be disappointed to have this guy on your team.
56xMarucci–RWLGAHL player, former SP player, haven’t seen him play but heard good things.
57iLLuSioNz_13RDNot too familiar with this guy but have played a few games with him, solid talent at D, could be another guy who I ranked too low though.
58premierplayerC2.1ppg in SP, 1.11ppg in VGNHL. Has that LGNHL experience so could be worth a lot higher in this ranking.
59SergeinRWSP legend, 976 career games played, great veteran presence to have on the squad and can put the puck in the net.
60Wheelchairdevon8GGoon of a dman, good goalie though, this guy could surprise some people between the pipes this season. One of the GMs this season.
61Tibod68GAnother solid G who I got to play VG with a few seasons ago, give this guy enough help and he will stop the first shot.
62Mikeyl92123lGMikey aka Sorokin aka icey, he had a hell of a season last year in nets and I expect the same this year. He will be a starter G this season for sure.
63CabRelixGI am not familiar with this goalie but he has strong LG experience, will likely be a starter.
64heroic_veil2RWSolid RW who can bury the puck, don’t count on him to carry your team but you can count on him to finish.
65xHAC_RamboRWHaven’t seen this guy play in a while, but from what I do remember he was a solid forward to have on your team, might make for a strong 3rd forward on your team.
66alonzi401GThis rap legend has played G for years, on the right team this guy will put up good numbers, don’t expect him to stop 30 shots a game though, he doesn’t have the patience for it.
67Shock_rGReturning GM for this season, solid goalie who can surprise you playing on the wings as well.
68Turdburgler169GTurdburglar makes his return to SP, solid goaltender that can get you a win with the proper defensive team in front of him.
69PhilmorinGPhilippe Morin, solid RD, Solid G, can fill any spot in the roster and do well. He signed up for G this season though and I expect him to do well. Could be the starter for your team or potentially take the spot from the guy you originally picked.
70Cuban1616LDPodcast extraordinaire, this owner had his struggles last season and is looking to bounce back. He is a ‘fill the void’ type of player who does what is best for his team at the time. Will likely play D most of the season though. One of the GMs this season.
71IvanthyGreatLWHe’s back! This guy took last season off after playing 30 seasons in a row (I think), he has the offensive talent to get pucks in the net and will make for a solid pickup in the 6th-7th round.
72GamertagrequirdCNot sure of his talent on C but is a very good RD option, makes the safe plays and keeps pucks away from his net.
73X7-Arrow-7XGI haven’t seen arrow play nets but I have seen him RD and he is solid, I’d be more likely to pick him for the RD role, but he may turn out to be a good G.
74JeanTheDon42RWI’ve only ever seen this guy play G, he had one season where he was an absolute beast in nets and stopping everything, the next season he was the complete opposite, he might be worth taking a chance on though for a potential starter
75Korrupto-777G75.5SV% in LGCHL, not too bad, worth a shot between the pipes.
76xPugz_420LWThis guy has typically been a depth roster player in SP. He gets points though so don’t sleep on him for too long.
77ShadykoLWI’ve seen Shady light it up in VGAHL scoring 80 goals one season, he hasn’t figured out SP enough yet to find that scoring touch but the potential is there
78AsianLover420__RWAsianLover is a troll of a human but he isn’t that bad of a player, he’s a solid depth player if you can handle the relentless chatter
79Fatalfire16LDI have this guy ranked low, but he could be a sneaky pick for a dman, his stats aren’t that hot but I’m not sure if he’s ever been put in a spot to excel yet in SP
80ThaFoSixRDFoxsix, he’s ranked kinda low but everyone wants this guy on their team, he can pay a shutdown role pretty well. Just don’t expect him to score any goals lol.
81sportsgeek5RDDecent defender, great guy to have if you need a spot filled, can play any position.
82Bayest_King_LuRD0.7ppg playing D in SP in previous seasons.
83Logan29-_-RWDon’t know this guy but he had some strong stats in the LGCHL, might be worth a risk on drafting higher.
84Thee_GhostyRWDon’t know this guy but he had some good stats in the LGCHL, might be worth a risk on drafting higher.
85JubjjjjjubRWJub has played on struggling teams only so far in his SP career, I think the potential of this guy could be higher but for now I only see him being a depth forward.
86PghFANATICLDDecent defender, if he stops making cross ice passes and just makes the simple one up the wall on neutral zone transitions this guys stock will go up big time. I’ve seen him turn over wayy too many pucks trying to make the long pass.
87AyyTrain1RWNot familiar with this player, saw he had a 2.6ppg in CNC, likely a good depth player.
88Dustyroads052GDusty isn’t too bad of a goalie but he’s been put in a lot of rough situations over the past few seasons, with a strong team in front of him this guy could perform much better.
89Terance2niceGDoesn’t have too hot of stats coming into this season, but could turn out to be a decent backup for the right team.
90Rathx4LWNot familiar with this guy, but he has played SP in seasons past and averaged a 1.8ppg, likely be a decent depth forward.
91LUYEYEP123C1.44ppg in VGNHL, 1.91ppg in VGAHL
92A-Mason_4LWKid sucks at hockey, don’t even know why he signed up
93Billyg7718RWNot familiar with this guy, but he has played SP in seasons past and averaged a 1.2ppg, likely be a decent depth forward.
94Lyrad99RWNot familiar with this guy, but he has played SP in seasons past and averaged a 1.1ppg, likely be a decent depth forward.
95Martok77GPoor Martok had a real rough season last year, he deserves a chance on a team that hasn’t sold.
96LaterSmittyRWThis guy had a 5.2ppg in VGAHL in the one season he played, there could be some real potential in this guy and this ranking may be up there in one of the worst I’ve done.
97Savage_Eze26LDThis guy played LGCHL and averaged a 0.71ppg on D, I’m thinking he’s a 3rd-4th dman for teams.
98Mr-_-goobsRDHis SP stats aren’t too hot but we know he will show up to play, another guy who would be a 3rd-4th dman on teams.
99bg9m9rRWThis guy has VGNHL experience, 1.85ppg. Could be worth taking a risk with a 6th roundish pick.
100DooteeesG70.5 sv% in Club games.
101Washko86CThis guy has VGNHL experience, 1.81ppg. Could be worth taking a risk with a 6th roundish pick.
102Maintenance_84LWThis guy has a 2.95 ppg in CNC, could be ranked too low as well, might be worth a higher pick.
103Jockey138RW2.34ppg in CNC, could be a solid option as a 4th-5th forward.
104FlowSoCleanLDLGCHL 0.72ppg player, CNC 1.97ppg player, might be a good 3rd-4th dman.
105VBumqs-LWCould only find EASHL stats for this guy and they’re 3.82ppg. He might be a lot better than he’s ranked but it’s hard to judge strictly based off the EASHL stats.
106reallUncleLarryRWCould only find EASHL stats for this guy and they’re 3.41ppg. He might be a lot better than he’s ranked but it’s hard to judge strictly based off the EASHL stats.
107ImOnA_PlainLD0.48ppg in VGNHL in an older season, might make for a solid 3-4th dman.
108NomoderationRWCould only find EASHL stats for this guy and they’re 1.85ppg. Can’t make a real good judgment based on those stats.
109Jets76-bradyk14RDLGCHL 0.75ppg, CNC 0.99ppg, this guy will show up to play though so he may be worth taking over some of the guys ranked around him here.
110LispDogeC1.55ppg in CNC, nothing too special about those stats, depth forward is what I’d pick him to be.
111Complexitii-LWNot many games played in league I looked up, he was committed to playing on a struggling Philadelphia team last season though, can count on him to fill voids.

The Sharks Road to the Cup

Hello everyone,

Another season is in the history books. Instead of just doing a cup final article, I decided I am going to tell my (Randymarsh2012) season experience from start to finish, with the cup final having some more detail to give a somewhat proper breakdown of how that series played out.

The start of the journey begins below:

During the off-season of S43, I submitted my name to SA_Pliskin to be a GM, he gave me the greasy run around with the ‘maybe, but maybe not, depending on what owners are returning’ but eventually it became a yes.

Then it came time to team selection. I think I had the 4th choice out of the new GM’s on what team I could take over. The only 2 teams I had eyes on were the vacated Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks, just praying that the 3 owners selecting before me did not pick one or both of those teams. I believe Dustyglove (VGK owner) and iearntofiy (SEA owner) selected 1 and 2, and DustyGlove selected the previous team who had the rights to Zinczy (which I think was my old S41 Sharks team when I was GM last, which may have been Pittsburgh of last season), and Fly chose to take over Peacekeepers Seattle squad. The next new GM to pick their team was SomeoneStopmePls, who played in Winnipeg last season. That fact had me thinking he was going to take the Jets, but he decided to take over Fishhure’s Columbus squad so he could resign Ustoopid. Which left me two teams with great resign options, I could choose Chicago who had Hardie, Hughsy, John D, MrlolChico and more, or I could go with Winnipeg who had Bartlett, Tommyboiii, Bejimoszn, and Staleee. We were only allowed 1 resign though which made the decision a bit more difficult.

I messaged Tommyboii and asked him if he would want to be resigned, he pretty much told me to pound sand and that his availability would be weak this season. So, I then messaged Bart and asked him if he’d be willing to resign with me and his exact words were ‘Sure I’m down, I suck though so just a warning’ and I told him ‘I don’t want to do good anyways so it’s fine that you suck.’

Then my choice of taking over Winnipeg and resigning arguably the best player in the league was made, all thanks to Tommyboii egoing be with his bad avail, and special thanks to Fly and Dustyglove for passing up on Winnipeg.

Heading into the draft it seemed obvious to me that Defense was going to be a very scarce position this season for all teams, not a lot of people signed up to be a primary defender. Getting 2 top defenders with my 1st and 2nd round picks was my top priority. There was a lot of draft picks being traded before the draft and it was hard to keep up, I felt like I was blowing it by not making some big moves before the draft. I did try a few different times to move up in the draft, but no one seemed interested in any of my trades (which was fair cause I was trying to fleece them slightly…) so I ended up being one of the few teams heading into the draft without trading a pick.

I had my eyes on KyleJ83 as my first pick but having the 9th overall selection made that a long shot. I asked a few different players about who might be some sleeper picks in this draft for defenseman, and the name that came up every time was NoScxpe96 at LD. So, the new plan was to take him if KyleJ83 was not on the board. Sure enough, NoScxpe fell to me, and I was able to take him with that 9th pick.

Now I had to work on the RD position, with KyleJ83 off the board the next best Dman who signed up for RD was Wardo_05, a 9.5M contract, but compared to every other defender left on the draft board it was worth it, so with the 11th overall pick I grabbed him. With 2 forward spots locked up, and my starting dmen locked up, I decided to focus on a LW next, thinking I could get a decent goalie for cheap in the later rounds.

In the 3rd round I went with a very reasonable 4.5M contract in Staleee-, knowing him and Wardo are bffs and that he played with Bart last season it was an easy choice.

Later in the draft I grabbed philmorin, ferdaboiss69, Nxbxr, itsjustskillz, and ice_uck to round out my top 10 roster. Both Nxbxr and Ferdaboiss69 were nice sneaky picks both being LGAHL players and solid at their positions, while itsjustskillz was a solid pick up in round 7, I played with skillz in previous seasons and he always put-up good numbers in nets and he was never toxic towards me like he has been known to be with other GM’s.

We started the season off hot, going 9-1-0 after first 10 games and seemed to be setting the tone for the league, then we had a real bad night of availability forcing me to use TC’s and have myself play RD and we went 1-2-0 one night. The bad night didn’t knock us out of first place, but it made me question what kind of availability troubles I may have going forward.

During the same week that we went 1-2-0, Philadelphia was having an awful week and were struggling hard. Cuban posted in the trade block chat that they wanted to make some moves, I messaged Cuban and asked him what the asking price for Hughsy28 was. After a short back and forth we made the block buster deal in trading Wardo_05, Staleee-, Nxbxr, ice_uck, and Flinn21(TC) for Hughsy28-, lxppy, pickletickler, and druwyy. This was a tougher deal for me to make than most people think, considering how well Wardo and Staleee were playing for the Sharks at the time (staleee with a 4.2ppg and Wardo with a 2.0ppg on D), and same with nxbxr because he was a solid defensive dman who broke the puck out well, but he was a primary LD. The reason I did the deal though was because I already had noscope playing 8/9 a week at LD, there wasn’t much opportunity for Nxbxr to get playing time. Wardo is an offensive RD, but we weren’t having any troubles scoring. I wanted a guy who I knew played the defensive role of D well and did it at a very competitive level, and that’s where hughsy made sense to grab in this deal, he’s also versatile can play anywhere. Pickle was a lowkey nice addition too, knowing he can play G very well and a solid LW if needed. Lxppy and Druwyy were the risky parts in the trade because no one ever said anything good about their avail and their commitment to the league. I figured if they got traded to the top team in the league that attitude might change though. I made this trade knowing I got 2 good reliable guys in hughsy and pickle, with hopes of lxppy and druwyy being more available than they were in Philadelphia.

Washington Capitals shortly after I made that deal with Cuban proposed a trade to me about acquiring Druwyy for Shephxrd. Knowing Shep’s talent, reliability, and his value to most GM’s in this league compared to their knowledge of value for Druwyy, I accepted the deal.

Lxppy was working out well for us in San Jose, he only missed 1 scheduled game because he was sleeping but overall, he was committed to the cup cause.

Then we had another game changing trade.

Vegas was looking to move John Dean, MrlolChico, and twnspepsi to a cup contending team. He felt that his top players deserved a better fate than the shit show that they got thrown into with Vegas with the GM quitting earlier in the season (dustyglove ur a troll) and their strong depth players giving weak availability.

So, I traded my starter LW in lxppy, my backup LW in ferdaboiss69 (who was a 3+ppg player as well), shepxrd (who was my backup Dman but normally a starter on most teams in the league), itsjustskillz (who was 13-0 in nets), and memento-mori (TC player who is an owner in VG).

The biggest problem with this trade for Vegas was the commitment levels out of the guys I traded to them, they all would play for the top team, but some wouldn’t play for one of the more struggling teams in the league. It was unfortunate, but no one can say that there was no value in the players that I traded (excluding the commitment thing). John and Chico weren’t giving Vegas full avail at the time due to real life stuff, Pepsi was the only player who was showing up for Vegas 9/9 that was in the deal. It was unfortunate for Vegas that they didn’t get the commitment from the guys I traded other than skillz and shep. IF (and that’s obviously a big if) all guys traded showed up for Vegas like they should have, that trade does not look near as bad. If Vegas thought they had a true chance at beating us then they likely don’t do this trade, but when you are a bottom team in SP, GM’s typically make moves for the guys who stuck it out for them all season to try and give his top guys a true chance in playoffs.

Anyways, into the final week of the season, we started to push harder to grab that 41-win record which ties the best season record (S23 Buffalo Sabres), and Bart and I wanted to snake the scoring titles from Hardie who lead in goals and points all season. We accomplished both tasks (suck it Hardie lol) and then moved onto focusing for playoffs.

Round 1 we had Vegas who just edged out Colorado for the lowest seed in playoffs, we beat them in 4 without top lining them once. Closest we came to losing was game 1 where we won 3-2 in OT against our worst lineup, thank you Pepsi and Bart for coming through offensively for the boys in that game.

Round 2 we played Edmonton where we went to OT in game 1 winning 3-2 (seeing a trend here). They played their backup line against our top line, and we were lucky to squeak that win out. A loss in that game would’ve been a series changing event. Edmonton was by far the toughest team we played, giving our top line its first loss all season and shutting us out at the same time. They had a real strong team, and they should’ve been in the cup finals playing us instead of having to see us in the 2nd round.

Stanley Cup final was next, as a Shark team we were hoping we were going to see Detroit in the Cup final so that we could tease Hardie when we beat him and ruined his chance at a 3-peat. Instead, Washington had the honor of putting them out and got to play us. I’m going to do a quick game by game breakdown since there won’t be another article like myself and Dirty D done previously that would usually cover this.

Game 1 – we were up 1-0 most of the game and then Washington scored 2 goals fairly late in the 3rd period to go up 2-1 with 4 minutes left in the game. Then Hughsy took a tripping penalty with 1:59 left to put us shorthanded. It looked to be over for us but Bartlett and John Dean were not ready to roll over yet, Bart carried the puck in on the left side and did his magic protecting the puck and then hit a wide open John Dean on the far post on a cross crease pass through like 4 Washington poke checks and tied the game (that’s the kind of EA nonsense I preach on the podcast that can change a game). In overtime the Sharks pretty much scored right away with a John Dean goal to take a 1-0 series lead. Sharks had their top line out while Fluri missed this one cause of LG playoffs. (The Sharks won game 1 by a score of 3-2 in OT in each playoff series, strange stat).

Game 2 – There was no Hughsy or John Dean for the Sharks, so Philmorin and TwnsPepsi got the call to play. Washington were missing Prodigytolegend due to LG as well. This game was all TwnsPepsi for the Sharks though as he had the big hattrick (including the empty netter) to win the game 4-2. Wardo scored both goals for the Capitals, but it wasn’t enough to get his team the W they needed against a Sharks team missing 2 of their top 5 skaters.

Game 3 – Sharks top line was back together again but the Capitals did not have Wardo in this one and Sharks took the game 3-0 for a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Game 4 – Sharks were going to be missing Hughsy for all 3 games Thursday because he was away on a night trip with his buddies. Washington team showed up again without Wardo. So I (RandyMarsh) had to play RD so that AsianLover420 could play his first game of the series on RW. Pickle was in nets for his first game of the series as well.

This game looked to be final curtains for the Capitals, but Washington tied it 3-3 in the third and force it to OT. But it was John Dean again being the OT hero to score and win the cup for the Sharks in a 4-0 series sweep.

It was unfortunate that Washington never got to play their actual top line against us, but they only saw the Sharks top line in games 1 and 3 this series so I think they can only blame that aspect so much, they had 2 opportunities to win games against the Sharks depth lines but still came up short. Having said that all games were very close, and Washington stayed composed to the end. They never got blown out once and were competitive the entire series. Great job Eggman and great playoff run to you guys, you were underdogs against Detroit and pulled it off, you guys had the farthest thing from a failed season.

What a season these Sharks had though, 41-4-0 in the regular season, 12-2-0 in playoffs. The only team in SP history that did better in a 45-game season was the S23 Buffalo Sabres who went 41-2-2 and won the cup as well that season. Shoutout to SedinPower, Sudzy-l92l, hypey-, bstieboydp, JayScott, MacInnis_2, ja-girard, Montoni007, Polsa_Boss_780, and Xxqc_poutine69xxx on that accomplishment.

Bartlett (twnsPepsiMax), it’s crazy that you didn’t play any other league other than SP this season lol. Your commitment to the team and dirty thumbs was what made the Sharks the team that they were. You played C most of the season and were excellent in both ends of the ice, getting you with my resign was the main reason we went all the way this season. I also appreciate you playing with COVID even though you were certain it was going to kill you. Thanks for carrying my baked potato ass to my first cup in a long time and carrying me to a rocket trophy.

Noscope (twnsDietCoke), you have the best defensive stick I have ever seen and were great at moving the puck up the ice. You carried the defensive weight on this team all season and I lucked out big time getting you with that 9th overall pick. We don’t win this cup without you. You were the best defenseman all season in my eyes and that Norris trophy should be yours. Easy Calder choice too. If you don’t win Calder, I will start a riot.

Hughsy (twnsFanta), you had a great playoff run leading d-men in scoring and were a huge factor in the Sharks success, and you did it all from playing RD (although you would rather play LD). It just goes to show why you are the most overall versatile player in this league being able to play any position (including G). It doesn’t come to a surprise to anyone that you have won 3 cups in a row. I don’t know if anyone noticed I put the ‘C’ on your jersey and took it off myself this season either lol, it should’ve come up in discussion at least once. Great season and thanks for not totally hating my guts when I play like ass.

John Dean (twnsCoke), you’re a gutless prick first and a great teammate 2nd. Jk (kind of). You’re the best defensive Center I’ve ever played with and have a great hockey sense. It’s a real talent that you can move the puck so quick without forcing anything, it’s a rare thing to find in this game. You will never catch this guy hanging onto a puck too long unless he is below the goal line trying to do his fancy flip play (it worked once bro, but don’t stop trying cause the 2nd time will be just as epic). You scored 2 big OT goals in the Stanley Cup finals with one being the goal to win at all for us. You are a well-deserved 3-peat cup champ. Congrats brother.

MrLolChico, you came up big for us against Edmonton with key breakaway saves and some cross-crease plays. I think we both would agree that series was where you made your mark as a cup champ in nets. Your numbers in the playoffs don’t reflect how well you did play as a G in the playoffs. SP now knows that you are a starter G in this league easily. I doubt you’ll ever sign-up G only again, but hopefully you don’t refuse it either for those odd games where you team may need a G lol. Congrats on the back-to-back cups and potentially the Vezina award as well. Well earned.

TwnsPepsi, you deserved more games than you got to play in these playoffs, if I wasn’t a selfish prick who wanted to play every game you would’ve easily had more. You came up clutch against Washington in game 2 that truly crushed their hopes in beating us. You were the unsung hero on this team brother and lead us to wins when it mattered to get us the cup. You’re unique gamertag also brought a lot of laughs into the discord with all the copycat twnsSoda names. Congrats on the cup homie.

Pickletickler (twnsDrPepper), you’re a god damn troll and you sell games ong. I must admit though, when you decide you want to play some legit G you are one of the better ones. You could’ve easily been the starter on this team and we still would’ve won the cup. You played some good games at LW during the season too, teams shouldn’t be waiting to the 7th round to be picking you that’s for sure. Congrats on your first cup.

PhilMorin, you teabagging slut, great job all season on D and G as well, a lot of teams wanted you in trade talks but I told them no. Who else would’ve told Bart that he’s ass, needs to finish, and remind him of where the blueline is? Also settle down on farting into the mic while holding your baby, that can’t be good for him. Thanks for signing up for the season when I asked you to randomly in the public chat, and thanks for being a part of this great season we had. We wouldn’t have won as many games as we did without you. Congrats on your first cup.

AsianLover_420 (twnsMountainDew), I’ve never met a guy who talks about his own sister the way you do, sorry we were hard on you about staying on the right side of the ice, but we didn’t want you to be sniffing Barts bum as much as you did, it is really distracting to him. You’re weird dude first, and a cup champ second. Not everyone that plays SP can say that they’re a cup champ though.

Thank you to my team for carrying me to a cup victory and snapping my playoff cold streak at 17 seasons. Hopefully I’ll never have a cold streak like that again lol. It was a fun season and looking forward to playing with most of you guys again in S45 on the PS5 or PS4 or whatever Plisk decides.

*I’ll take 42% cup odds anytime with this Sharks squad.*

RandyMarsh’s Award Nominations

This is strictly just my take on the award nominees and where I would put them, I am not on the actual committee or choosing these awards.

Hart Trophy:

  1. Bartlett—67 – Led league in scoring, accounted for 66.1% of his team’s offense, and had a personal record of 39-4-0 in games he played this season. Also maintained a decent -1.98GV:TK Ratio among forwards with the 2nd best FO% out of all C’s who took 100+ draws.
  2. Hxrdie – Finished 2nd in scoring, had best +/- in league, accounted for 67.9% of his team’s offense while missing 9 of his team’s games. Had a Personal record of 26-5-2.
  3. Blade0Muffin – Faced the most shots in the league this season while maintaining a 3.88 GAA on a team where the offensive production was the worst out of any other team. Also secured 11 of his teams 14 total wins (FF’s not included).

Norris Trophy:

  1. NoScxpe96 – Led defensemen in points and +/-. Had a positive +2.85GV:TK Ratio. Had a personal record of 32-2-0.
  2. KyleJ83 – Finished 2nd amongst defensemen in most offensive stat categories (more games could’ve put him 1st). 2nd in TK and 3rd in INT. He did lead the league in GV for Dmen, but to me that shows he was relied on heavily with the puck compared to most other defensemen in the league this season. Personal record of 23-4-2.
  3. NowYoDead – 3rd in scoring for dmen, most goals for dmen, 2nd in hits for dmen, most TK and INT and maintaining a +4.38GV:TK ratio. Personal record of 12-17-3.

Frank J. Selke Trophy:

  1. Iearntofiy – +1.30GV:TK in 37 games played, 1.8 points per game, 3rd in hits with 145.
  2. YoJonsn – 1.8 points per game, -0.38GV:TK Ratio, 2nd in hits with 184.
  3. FreezeMothaSucka – 2.2 points per game, +0.7GV:TK Ratio, led league with 206 hits.

*Honorable mention in Bartlett—67, led league in TK with 151 and 2nd best +/- with 85 and also was 2nd best FO%, but he doesn’t need this award screw him.

Bill Masterton Trophy:

  1. ThaFoSix – 28GP on a team that has had one of the biggest roller coaster rides of the season.
  2. El_Rookie – 20GP (out of a possible 25 due to Phillys 20 FF games) and helping Cuban ice a team any night it was possible.
  3. FreezeMothaSucka – 40GP (missing 5 games due to FF’s) played every single game this season and didn’t bitch or complain about anything.

*If GM’s can win this award then Shock_r should be on this list as well for taking over Vegas and managing to get his squad to playoffs.

Calder Trophy:

  1. NoScxpe96 – 34GP, 53pts as a defenseman.
  2. Sniiider – 16GP, 48pts as a forward.
  3. Spelliscy_21 – 19GP, 42pts as a forward.

Vezina Trophy:

  1. MrlolChico – 18-5-0, 2.30GAA, 84.23SV%, played on 2 top teams but also one lesser team this season.
  2. BrazGhostt – 8-13-0, 3.38 GAA, 77.46SV%, played on a team with a losing record and one of the highest shots against per game teams in the league.
  3. Blade0Muffin – 11-21-0, 3.88GAA, 75.40SV%, played on one of the least offensive teams in the league and faced more shots than any other goalie.

*Honorable mentions go to XxGrahame_47xX and Sorokinl30l for having great starts to the season but ended up losing the handle a bit in the final weeks which just barely knocked them out of the top 3 for me. Itsjustskillz also was one of the top candidates halfway through the season with a 13-0-0 record, but he stopped playing G so I removed him from the list.

…And here is a look at the stats of week 6, not saying anything about them just posting them for everyone to have a look. Enjoy.

I said I wasn’t going to say anything but look at Liljxgrens stats this week! Holy! Washington may have found a secret weapon for playoffs.

Hope everyone enjoyed the read… if you didn’t like it then you can suck me dry.

Stay gutless SP
