Needless to say, it would be a huge upset to take the victory, just hoping that Kauhanen is healthy 2 games from now. Unfortunately this is also a home game, road wins have been hard to come up lately. Ritola comes back to the lineup, Goerzen steps aside. Game-report The first minute had Glumac giving an opening pass for Lavallee and a sudden 1-0 goal! The first period ended with shots 15 to 4 for Blues. A great sign for the future games. 2nd period I thought referees didn't want to be the deciding factor of playoff games! The second period saw 3 penalties for St. Louis 3 goals for Pittsburgh. Two of the goals were nice, 1 junkgoal giving them a 3-1 edge. Only one of them a powerplay goal, but the last one was right after a powerplay ended. Kauhanen would probably have let in 0 to 1. 3rd period St. Louis had an inspired start but to no avail, scoring would not connect and 13 minutes in the third Pittsburgh scored a junk goal and it was over. In the final minute Ritola played a solid onetimer for Pikkarainen, Versteeg got a rebound and smashed it home. But it was too late. But the better team was St. Louis even if the faceoffs weren't controlled like they should be. There was no question that St. Louis had Pittsburgh number all game. Yablonski was constantly in the right place in front of the net, if he keeps this up he will score more likely than anybody. The dominance in the beginning and solid defense whole game long gives a big confidence boost for the game number 2. 3 takeaways from Game 1 Jeff Taffe - 2 goals, dangerous all around Good goaltending Vs bad goaltending Penalty streak of the 2nd period [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> ST.

for real. 2nd home game, a must win. Joensuu is in a hot streak so he continues paired with Rothals, he did get -2 in the last game but can hardly blame him. Game-report The hot streaking Joensuu opened the scoring, with a powerful slapshot that found its way in under the arm of Bacashihua (however that is spelled). First and second were clear blues periods, Bacashihua showing some goaltending dominance that got Blues frustrated on how they didn't score more goals. One of the turning points of the game came in the second. Malkin got a chance to 1vs1 against the rookie M. Gainey. Gainey crushed Malkin to the ground and took the puck to offense. In the offense he made a fake shot that got Malkin (who easily skated past him back in defense) bewildered turned a bit and feathered a pass for Lavallee who scored just under the diving Bacashihua! Second goal of the playoffs and second goal of the finals for Lavallee! The third one was the hardest period yet, no penalties. Incredibly, the Blues were hooking, slashing and tackling their butts of in search for the loose puck. Crosby, Fedotonko, Zigomanis, take any other of Pittsburgh players. All missed good scoring opportunities. 15 minutes into the game finally the puck was a bit in Blues control, Rothals the key player there. Few chances to both ends and game ends with a 2-0 Blues victory! 3 takeaways from Game 2 Joensuu, 1 goal + solid d performance Gainey, dominating Malkin in defense and offense Lots of shots from Blues, Pens lack the Vancouver-like shot blocking [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> ST.

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Game three of the Stanley Cup Finals St. Louis Blues (1) vs Pittsburgh Penguins (1) Pre-game Unfortunately B. Thomas comes back from 14 game injury so we are forced to scratch our best forward Wacher again. To fill up we bring up our 2nd best pointproducer from the regular season M. Frankovic. Because of injuries he has only played 2 games so far. Also, the scorer of the winning goal of the conference finals, Gogulla gets sidelined again for Weinhandl, possibly for a shortperiod of time. Weinhandl brings more speed to our game and we sure need it. Confidence levels are actually very high even though the first road game of the playoffs is ahead. Game Summary This time it wasn't a 0-0 game. In the second period Tyler Kennedy mashed a rebound home and right after tactic was changed to defend to lead and Yablonski passed Barnes to a great onetimer and he roofed it. 1-1 In the first period alone blues had 3 posts, but those were pretty much the best scoring changes they would create all game. The tactic change didn't help on the most important, Blues attacking game. Pittsburgh overskated us completely and nearly everytime when there was a chance for attack the coach yelled for a linechange. The Pens put many lengthy attacks in the Blues end, Kauhanen bailed us out. Not a 0-0 overtime, it is a 1-1 overtime. We were saving the time out for the overtime but it was a waste. Pitt started better, got many scoring changes, then Blues finally turned the game over for a few ok attacks and forced Pitt to dump an icing. It was deadly. Rothals in good shape could not reach it in time, instead the Boedker took it, started an attack for probably over a minute. Sykora tried to center the puck behind the net, puck hits Kauhanen and goes in the goal. 3 takeaways from Game 3 Whose that guy? Taffe created 3 scoring chances from interceptions in the Blues zone. When you create a lot of attack, likely the bounces go your way too - Pittsburgh did, Blues did not. Faceoff domination - Blues won 3 faceoffs - Pittsburgh 15 [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> PITTSBURGH</td><td align="center">2 </td></tr> <tr><td> ST.

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Game Five of the Stanley Cup Finals St. Louis Blues (2) vs Pittsburgh Penguins (2) I only lately realized my first goalie Ilpo Kauhanen has Steve Masons face! Ritola gets a flu, injuries don't seem to leave him alone. Our 2nd line and 1st line switch places putting our regular 1st line D Rothals as 2nd line defender possibly for the first time ever. Only after one period the old defense lines were put back as St. Louis defense really did not have a good start to the game. B. Thomas got a chance of his lifetime, straight to the first line, and bunch of scoring changes but continued his inability to finish a goal. 5 takeaways from Game 5 Shot blocking - Blues start fast hit Pittsburgh defense Pittsburgh take the advantage with well organized counter attacks Blues only offensive surge in the third has Blues on the powerplay, Malkin and Boucher strike the quickest on PK for Pittsburgh lead Messed up production - Thomas creates multiple scoring chances, Weinhandl solos in front of the net in overtime - to no avail Last minute hero to antihero. Cutta passes to Gove to tie the game with 5 seconds left only to find him and Joensuu dominated by Fedotenko and Boedker in the beginning of overtime. [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> ST.

Timeout was used early, no help. Tactic was changed three times, no help. Bacashihua only had to make 14 shots, Kauhanen 28. Under fire all game long, this is the game that should have ended Blues season. Kauhanen's performance was as dominating as any goalie ever been in the Stanley Cup finals. He straight out saved our gut. It wasn't an enjoyable game, nor do I feel we deserved it, but it was a win. Defying odds the St. Louis blues head for Game Seven of the Stanley Cup finals! 3 takeaways of Game number 6 Ilpossible^2 - When the cards are stacked against you, stop everything Frankly, all points - Frankovic points in every blues goal for three games straight Yablonski - Surprise goal-scoring leader snaps an onetimer in again [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> PITTSBURGH</td><td align="center">0 </td></tr> <tr><td> ST.

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Finals St. Louis Blues (3) vs Pittsburgh Penguins (3) After a devastating effort and a surprising win St. Louis heads to the game seven of the stanley cup finals. 1st period 10:06 to the first period Grenier pulls a penalty. Frankovic wins a faceoff, Ritola dribbles in, passes to Reuter crashing straight into the net and 1-0! True captainship! On the next faceoff Pandolfo won the faceoff and just gave the puck to Ritola. Ritola still had some speed left, got in and put the puck in Grenier's stick for a decent onetimer. Grenier was denied. One of the reasons we put Grenier in our 1st line is that we are lacking a power forward that drives to the net. After the shot Grenier did just that! He drove straight to rebound even though he was tackled on the way and slapped the puck in! Real show of willpower! Only few minutes go and Ritola once again lures the puck in and goes behind the goal, Pandolfo stands in the corner of the goal; Ritola puts in a slow pass and the goalie gets there to cover in time. Pandolfo a straightforward offensive players gives it a go anyway, a desperate looking backhander; founds it way in between the pads! Only 13:54 to game seven and St. Louis is up by 3 goals! I would like to say more but i cannot, rest of the game went in deep concentration: [dohtml] <table border=1> <tr><td> ST.

Getting to the playoffs was the first and utmost goal. I've always considered being a lot better playoff player in Nhl2004 and thought that it would be possible to throw a few upsets in the playoffs. When the team finally advanced to playoffs, it was clear that there is a good possibility to take a run to the cup. But it was really behind a lot of hell. winning the first serie against Edmonton in only 5 games did wonders to self-confidence. Next up was a victory which required a huge amount of shots and Harding nearly outplaying Kauhanen. But Minnesota was through in six, after Kauhanen completely shut the doors with St. Louis down 1-2. Three shutouts and 4-2 for the Blues. The conference finals against Vancouver started badly with Blues down 2-0. Then an impropable shooting outburst, 48 shots in a single game. Next up an overtime victory after i had lost all the previous 3 overtimes in the playoffs. It was followed by an overtime loss. Then again Kauhanen shut the doors and played two shutouts. The Game seven ending 0-1 for the Blues in overtime. I will never forget the unlikely overtime heroics of Joensuu and one of the worst players of the team Gogulla. Finals against Pittsburgh had to be started with our second goalie Afanasenkov so naturally we lost the first game. Second was another improbably shooting outburst with 40 shots. Bacashihua almost stopped us but in the end Blues managed to score 2 and win it. Game 3, yet another overtime loss. Game 4, 0-1 for the Blues. Game 5, ANOTHER overtime loss Pens up 3-2 in the serie. It was an okay game and a deserved loss and Game 6 was a horrible game, and a completely undeserved win for the Blues. Impossibly Kauhanen stopped the Pens and Yablonski scored, one goal was again enough. Game seven AGAIN Kauhanen played a shutout. And Blues came up with offence and the cup.

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Playoff point totals of the team (first five of every category underlined) Final team stats of the playoffs: Only 3 goals scored on the shorthanded, Nhl 2004 typically most of the computer teams have even more amazing penalty killing numbers than us. You can also note that Edmonton has two powerplay goals, as they played their only playoff serie against us, it means we only let in 1 powerplay goal after the first round (Jeff Taffe in the first game of the finals)! After the first round we actually let in more goals when on PP than on PK. One shorthanded goal against us was scored by Vancouver the other by Pittsburgh. Trophies taken by the Blues! (right, Ilpo has some history on trophies :D)

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	The rankings are not just based on overall quality of a player's game, but also on expectations, skill level and whether he filled the role he played in. Goalies I. Kauhanen The most important player in nearly every game. Full Stop. Season: 10 Playoffs: 10 Afanasenkov & Lius Even though Afanasenkov was the worst goalie of the entire Nhl, he was completely dominated by the second worst goalie T. Lius. Afanasenkov played 8 games with 7 losses and one tie 0.855 S% (Lius 0.908). 3.856 GAA (Lius 2.508). In the only playoff game he recorded a loss with under 0.900 S%. He also regularly broke down in the beginning of the game or in the very end. Lius played a good campaign for his skill. Season: Afanasenkov 5, Lius 8 Playoffs: Afanasenkov 6, Lius No Ranking Defense A. Rothals Played full season in our first defensive line and responded to expectations. Most minutes in the regular season and in the playoffs; 3rd in socring in the regular season with 26 points in 82 games. Also 4th in hits without any real tackling ability. His playoffs however were a big disappointment, he played most minutes and played mostly good defense, but he was involved in too many defensive breakdowns at crucial moments. Even this could have been ok if he had scored points, but one point in 25 games is just ridiculous for an offensive d-man. He tried to contribute but his attacks never lead to anything. M. Gainey who was the stay at home defender for Rothals most of the playoffs; recorded one point more. Season: 8 Playoffs: 6 M. Gainey Started the regular season after a few games and was the last full-time addition to the team. From this shaky rookie defender that was so much in trouble in the beginning, he grew as the most stable defensive d-man. And never missed a game. One of the success stories of the season. As the season progressed his stable play first allowed Pikkarainen to move to attack and score a good amount of points there. In the end of regular season he dethroned M. Grenier, as first line stay-at-home defender. Gainey showed some offensive promise scoring 3 goals in 11 games in the early season. But after game 22, He scored 1 goal with 43 shots in the rest of regular season and 0 with 21 shots in the playoffs. Another stint that can be allowed especially as he was clearly the most regular tackler of the entire team, and took barely any penalty minutes! (Tackling regular season: 110, 4 PM. Tackling Playoffs 38, 0 PIM. At least his 4th goal of the season was an impressive one: http://koti.mbnet.fi/jluga/Nhl2004/71%20ga...0buffy_done.jpg Season: 8+ Playoffs: 8- I. Reuter Team captain and best regular defender who was a 2nd line defenseman only to balance out our two first lines and keep both competitive. Scored most points and 2nd most goals in the regular season (also was top 3 in pretty much all other categories too!). 4th most points (6) and 2nd most goals in the playoffs. Did a lot of captainish goals, in the end of regular season important plays contain 2 goals in game number 80 and an overtime goal in 78. His playoffs were low-scoring until he became our most regular goalscorer along with Frankovic from game number 6 of the conference finals to the very end. The solo goal in game number 6 was perhaps the backbreaker of the serie that killed of Vancouver. Malkin like prowess. Season: 9 Playoffs: 8� T. Mojzis If there was a completely disappointing season, Mojzis would be it. Only 5 points, in all kinds of roles. Could not play safe enough as a defensive defender, could not score in the offense or as an ofensive d-man. There were multiple games were he very nearly scored and was pretty dangerous in the offense as offensive defender, but it led to only 5 points in 49 games. 2nd worst plus minutes -3, needless to say we were happy we didn't have to use him in the playoffs at all. Season: 5 Playoffs: No Ranking J. Cutta 2nd worst defender in the entire Nhl, but still our 3rd best! Had a good amoutn of speed so good things were expected of him, and he partially provided. 12 assists in the regular season in 66 games (8th in scoring) was exactly what we were looking for, 59 tackles and +13 an awesome bonus; but his inability to score goals became legendary. With the 2nd worst shooting percentage in the team, 3,1 % he still managed to score 3 goals, missing the goal from all possible angles. We figured he couldnt do much worse in the playoff. He ended the playoffs with a few important assists, one goal and team worst 3 % shooting percentage. A solid performer, with a liability, well; it can be allowed for the 2nd worst defender of the league. Season: 7� Playoffs: 7 The Inbetweeners (played regularly as a forward and defender) H. Pikkarainen Started as a second pairing defender. Was allright in defense but it continuously seemed like he might still be up for something in another position. So in game number 24 it finally happened: "Pikkarainen and Cutta switch places, we are experimenting with having all the 3 best defenders in separate pairs to always have one defender with some speed in.". From then one the team would always have the three best defenders in different pairs which brough a ton of stability. Pikkarainen streaked a while as first unit scorer. He was even touted as the most regular scorer of the team and then he went completely cold. Demotion to 2nd line saw him emerge back as a regular pointproducer. Played only 13 games in the playoffs, scored 4 points but only one goal. At times agaisnt vancouver was our best player, getting two assists in game 6. But faded out of the picture in the finals. Season 8 Playoffs 7 M. Grenier Played most season as a defender but with the stable play of Gainey was first moved to a smaller role and ultimately as a first line forward. Make no mistake, he wasn't a bad defender; the only reason he was moved off from first line was penalties. With lots of aggression and tackling power players like him sometimes just draw penalties but are still valuable assets. Gainey could play the same role with next to no penalties. Grenier's aggression was also put in the good use as a first line winger, where he showed a lot of power forward abilities. First playing strong game with a good amount of points in the end of regular season to help St. Louis get the 3rd seed, then tying for the playoff point lead with 7 points. One of the goals in game 7 of the stanley cup finals. Dethroned, only to climb back up in a different role. Season: 7 Playoffs: 8 J. Joensuu Another "story"-player Before game 69 of the regular season, I said the following: "Joensuu as a defender? We want to try his abilities in d and also Mojzis in the offense. 53 speed might be too little but Joensuu seems like a sturdy player without scoring touch, but some passing skills. Somehow this seems like a move we want to make work." This story climaxed in game seven of conference finals with Joensuu keeping the line in the overtime, throwing the puck to the net and Gogulla banking home the rebound. The biggest goal of the season. Regular defender in the playoffs before and after. Sometimes seemed to be in terrible trouble with his speed, but mostly quite unnoticed with allright bursts in attack and 4 points. Most of the regular season he was a forward. And that was plastered with scoring touch, the inability of it. Good passing skill found a trade mark move. Carrying the puck in waiting in the blueline and tossing a strong pass in front of the net for onetimer, from his 9 passes I believe at least 4 were such. Everytime this move occured I thought at Joensuu. Season 7 Playoffs 7+ J. Barnes Played almost all season as a defender really. Found his place in the 2nd pair with Reuter and was a regular pair till the very end, split up only very short term and due to injuries. Incredibly finished 6th in overall scoring and was a very regular scoring threat, scoring very nice goals too. It just seems he found his zen in the defense. He did battle through some hard times, but for Barnes and Reuter they were a lot rarer than for any other player of the team. Took command in the early playoffs with a lot of hits in the Edmonton serie, after that did not shine but scored a pair of goals. Finished both season and playoffs with an impressive 10.5 % shooting percentage. And that was even though he was mostly a defensive defender to let Reuter play more offense, but when he took a shot it seems it was often from a good spot. 8 goals for Barnes added with 13 goals for Reuter Season: 9 Playoffs 7+

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Forwards M. Ritola He had a serious case of hot/cold in the regular season. Before the season one of the main points for us to have any success was to make Ritola a 20 goal scorer with an ability to do solo goals. He failed, but did score 25 points, being 4th in overall scoring. So he wasn't a complete disappointment, and was the 2nd best forward of the entire team. But that was something that had to happen. Suffered injuries most of the playoffs, played 7 games and scored 6 points, but only 1 point besides the very first and last game of the playoffs! But on those two other games, he was the man of the match. Oh boy, was his scoring timely. Ritola's 2 goal surge in the first game led us annihilating oilers in 5 games. He got injured immediately which was thought a catastrophe back then. He made his return in the Stanley Cup finals. Off to a slow start, Ritola scored one assist in 4 games, then was forced to miss game 5 with an injury. Luckily he came back. In the game seven, he single-handedly passed Pens to a swamp. With 3 passes he was the man of the match and shut out his season with style. Without it, he'd been a playoff-disappointment, but with those 3 assists, he suddendly became the hero of the team. It should not be mentioned as asidenote, but we still will. Ritola went on to win the calder trophy, we believe M. Frankovic deserved it instead. Season 8 Playoffs 8+ M. Bolda - M. Glumac - J. Lavallee The only line that stayed pretty much the same during the season. Bolda was really the worst player, like his skill total suggests, showed flashes but inability to score goals was the biggest downside. His shot is actually in the middle ground of entire team, but still he failed nearly all chances he got. Started the playoffs with a flash, scoring 3 points in 4 games, including 2 goals, but from then on went 21 games without a point. Glumac did points reliably but completely dried up in the last fourth. Otherwise filled his role betten than anticipated, could have taken over 3rd line anytime but someone had to do time with Bolda, and he did it well. Got a regular spot on the pk in the end of the season and kept it. If Glumac only could have scored a few goals more he'd been one of the biggest surprises of the season, but with big difficulties in scoring he faded to mediocre. As a positive note he was really one of the best players in battles on the boards. seems like he never gave up and even with 50 speed made it difficult for every opponent to get the puck. Lavallee was the most reliable depth-scorer, found his first slump of the season in the last fourth and only came back with 2 goals in the stanley cup finals. M Bolda Season 6- Playoffs 7 M. Glumac Season 8+ Playoffs 7 J. Lavallee Season 8 Playoffs 7 P. Gogulla The attacker who could not produce all regular season long. Played only 19 games in various roles, only because Blues scoring struggled. Otherwise he'd been kept in the bench. Few times seems he was starting to fill the role, only to injure or go cold. Most of the times he was nowhere on sight. With the injuries in playoffs he was suddendly awarded a regular spot and in 15 games he scored like the rest of the depth forwards, 2 goals. Filled his role better but still was pretty much the worst attacker most games. But this one comes with a pinch of something else. As in the game seven of the conference finals, Gogulla slashed home a rebound in the overtime to advance Blues in the finals. Probably the biggest single goal of the season. In the finals obscurely he sat on the bench most games, but played the game seven, from an obvious reason. Didn't score, but was one of the most reliable attackers, making absolutely 0 mistakes, always making the right call with or without the puck. It warms my heart that while being disappointing, Gogulla played at his best in the games that mattered the most. Season 6 Playoffs 8 R. Weinhandl Another disappointing player, but Weinhandl did not have have a real silver lining. With the same skill level as M. Frankovic it was remarkable how little points he scored. Made flashy plays, nearly always them to fail in the end. It seems he was continously going to be the player to suddendly start scoring, but had only one occasion when he was effective on offense on regular basis. Even though he absolutely could not score, it was important to have at least one energy player in the lower lines, who'd have speed to keep the puck in times most of the team could not. Season 6 Playoffs 6 M. Pandolfo Started the season as most surprising single player, was promoted to 2nd line and after it even played a lot of time in the first line, nearly all playoffs included. With a big amount of playing time was completely cold at times and just when he got into his game, he'd be injured. Suffered three injuries in the season. Scored quite an ok amount of points. 10 points in 53 games in the regular season, 7 points in 23 games in the playoffs. Needless to say, he found a better regular scoring touch in the late-season, trying for team lead in points and scoring 1+1 in the game 7 of the stanley cup finals. Success. Season 7 Playoffs 8+ J. Yablonski Ridiculed in the start of the season as he only scored goals that ricocheted in from opposing players. His 4 first goals came that way and besides that could not find the net. Ate quite a lot of popcorn in the regular season, playing 61 games, missed none because of injuries. When the end of the season loomed closer Yablonski found himself playing more and more and in the end was a regular 2nd line winger. In this case he was elevated because of good results and thanked by scoring 5 goals, most of the team in the playoffs. Including probably the most less touted goal, the lone goal in game six to delay the finals in game seven. Season 7 Playoffs 9 D. Gove The regular season sensation had a burst of goals in the middle of the season. Scored regularly after that too and finished clearly as the best scorer from our lower lines with 21 points. His 13 goals tie 2nd in the team, making his goals and points / minutes ratio the highest of the team. With 63 faceoff he also was alright in the faceoff circle (43 % season, 50 % playoffs) and a regular in 3rd line fillup centre. There he also scored most of his points. Including a "free" pass to Game seven of the conference finals overtime goal. One of the players who most rised his level in the regular season. His skill level is tied the 2nd worst in the league, from the same level only Frankovic scored more than him. Season 9 Playoffs 7+ B. Thomas Was among the first positive surprises in the early season. Had 6 points and +9 after 20 games, most of those points scored in the last 9 games. The team and the fans were falling in love with his gritty play, but it ended in a false note. only 4 points in the next 33 games with +1. The competiveness came back in the end of the season, but his point production never appeared, got only 5 games under his belt in the playoffs, 0 points. Season 6 Playoffs 5� S. Goertzen When Thomas was an early surprise, Goertzen was a late surprise. It took him quite a while to get going, but in scoring most of his points in the end of the season totalled 10 in only 35 games, regularly in second line. Nothing to do with his shooting skills, his shot seemed to be one of the strongest of the team, even though it shouldnt be, it was. Playoffs saw him add only 3 points in 16. Just when he was about to be sidelined he got injured and was out for the rest. Season 7� Playoffs 6+ K. Versteeg Underachiever/journeyman Number 1 of the regular lineup. Seems he had more speed and agility than his stats provide and made some good moves with the puck, but was always at a wrong place. Never in front of the net or doing dirty work. Only once found a regular line, and that was the first where he had one good point-stint. Why was he in the regular lineup? Simple, we had only 3 players with alright faceoff skill and Versteeg was the 3rd best of them. Finished 2nd of those three in faceoff percentages. Playoffs are a different kind of story where he suddendly scored 6 points and was in the point lead, with seemingly no great deeds at all. Points just kept coming to him. I think a fitting summary of his playoff points is that the work that involved the biggest achievement from Versteeg is when he won a skating battle against Mikko Koivu to an empty netter which sealed an extremely hard game against Minnesota. As if it wasn't enough that it was an empty netter, he actually won the battle because Mikko Koivu was about to reach the puck but turned away in a sort of "screw you guys im going home"-fashion and let it freely for Versteeg xD. Curious fact: His first three goals were all shorthanded goals and were scored compactly in only 18 games! The next 77 games with regular penalty killing minutes saw him score 0 more. Season 6 Playoffs 6 M. Francovic (i just learned how to spell his name :D) A rookie that rose to most regular point-producer along with our best regular player I. Reuter. 28 points in Regular season was more than expected, was also great on faceoffs. Best faceoff percentage of the regular forwards. Curiously ended the regular season with -4 (worst of the team), we believe it really was not his fault. Alike Ritola did not play much in the playoffs. He made it up by scoring a point in nearly every game he played. Ending the playoffs with 5 points in 7 games (5 one point games). His only goal a 0-1 game winner in game 4. Season 8+ Playoffs 8+

Regular Posts: 79 Group: Members Member #5,243 Joined: August 19, 2012	Regular Fillups (just outside the core team) Defenders B. Ference Our most touted fillup defender who always seemed to dominate when finally got a chance in the lineup. Though everytime after a few games of domination he cooled down to "just another first line defender". Most of a time was our best player when in the lineup but the 10 game scoreless drought in the playoffs ate his prestige. Season: 8 Playoffs: 7 J. Tuominen A player who has played in multiple seasons of mine, in pretty much every season showed offensive promise and defensive instability, only to get completely cold in the offense. 1 game in the regular season and 5 games in the playoffs was hardly a real test, but was a great fillup in the playoffs scoring 4 points and one game winning goal. Season: No Ranking Playoffs: 8� Forwards A. Wacher Another streaking player in the playoffs, 3 points in 2 games then nothing in 5. Formed an extremely gritty fine first line with Grenier and Pandolfo and had a lot more coming than only 3 points. Season: No Ranking Playoffs: 7� R. Schliemann Regular season started with good points but then faded out, still held a lot of promise. The first centre, was oncoming as a star player of the team, when it was known that he will get a lot of playoff games under his belt. Failed the score points miserably, 0 points in 11 games. With 177 minutes played. A lot more than Ritola and Frankovic in similar roles and they scored 6 and 5 points! Even his faceoffs slumped to only a bit more than 50 % from an astounding 72 % of the regular season. Season 7+ Playoffs 5 Left-outs only played a few games T. Niskavaara A rookie who we expect to battle for the roster spot next season, did not play many games because of the rookie rule (see post 1 in the 1st page). Second worst player in the entire Nhl after M. Bolda. Played one game as a forward cause we wanted to see what he is about. Did a fine job and nearly scored on two occasions. J. Pollock, M. Graps, P. Ryan Only 4 games in total in the first defensive lines 0 points. All one skill above Reuter. Would have liked to try them more, but in a season like this it wasn't possible. Lupaschuck, Roche The 83 morale specialities of the early season. When they were risen to lineup their morale would drop to 83, enough to put their overall skill so low that they fit the lineup. These two are a pair, as they both scored a goal in their only game and were thrown out of the lineup!
