MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Congratulations to Mike McMillan and the Florida Panthers and their
second RHL Cup win. The
Panthers won the Commissioners Cup by 1 point over Edmonton and then
proceeded to back that up with 16 playoff wins to take home the big
prize. Other than a game 2
blowout where the Panthers could do no wrong, the Detroit Red Wings
and Jean Marois made this a tough, tight series, taking a pair of
games at home after falling down 2-0, then losing a tough game 5 at
Florida, 4-3 and then coming back home and take the Panthers to OT
only to again fall by that same 4-3 score as the Wings continue to
look for the elusive first RHL Cup win.
With the game
to be released this coming week, we are now getting ready to start on
next season. I will work on an new excel file next weekend hopefully
and also a new set of league files as soon as I have the game in my
hands. I am working to
find a new owner in Pittsburgh and if anyone else doesn’t plan on
returning, please let me know asap so I can fill that hole as well
before we get rolling. My plan is to have a new excel out by early
August, then give everyone a week to look at things and start planning
their offseason. I will then open up trading and start taking free
agent decisions as we aim for a mid to late August draft. I will also
work on getting the draft order up and deciphering the lottery as we
did make a change to follow the NHL last year and have to figure out
how to account for their change to the bottom 8 teams in the lottery
since that team will have the #1 overall pick.
Here is the
final awards from the end of the season, congratulations to all who
won awards, you were definitely very deserving and many close races
this season. Thank you for
the 15 team who took the time to vote.
Wayne Gretzky
Award – Leon Draisaitl, NY Rangers
Draisaitl was
the clear winner with 12 first place votes and triple the next player,
Aleksandr Barkov who had one first place vote.
Ben Bishop and Thomas Greiss each also had a single first place
vote.
Terry Sawchuk
Trophy – Ben Bishop, Edmonton Oilers
Bishop as the
run away winner with 12 first place votes and on all but one ballot
overall. Greiss finishes a
distant second with a first place vote and Vasilevskiy and Andersen
each got a single vote for the top spot as well.
Doug Harvey
Trophy – Mark Giordano, Florida Panthers
Gio wins a
very tight vote over Parayko with his one extra first place vote being
the difference (6 to 5), as Parayko was actually on more ballots (12
to 10). Andy Greene
finishes in third with a pair of first place votes himself.
Bobby Orr
Award – Mark Giordano, Florida Panthers
Gio pulls off
the sweep as he edges out Brent Burns with 7 first place votes to just
3 for Burns who was actually on 12 ballots to just 9 for Gio.
Rielly and Carlson finish in a tie for third but Rielly gets it
with one extra first place vote.
Bob Gainey
Trophy – Ryan O’Reilly, NY Rangers
Despite a bit
of a disappointing season, the Rangers get their second offseason
award as ROR takes the top spot in a tight vote with 4 players all
within 7 total points of each other. O’Reilly had 5 first place votes
to just three each for Couturier and Barkov who ended up tied in
second and Toews had a pair of votes for the top spot as well to round
out that group.
Cam Neely
Award – Brad Marchand, Dalls Stars
Marchand just
edges Matthew Tkachuk by a single point overall as Marchand had 6
first place votes to four for Tkachuk which was the difference.
Evander Kane also had 4 first place votes to finish a close
third.
Ace Bailey
Award – Brady Tkachuk, Buffalo Sabres
Been a long
time since the Sabres had a rookie of the year and Tkachuk wins a very
tight vote over Elias Petterson with both having 5 first place votes
and 5 third place votes. The difference was Tkachuk getting that extra
second place vote that put him over the top.
Miro Heiskenan had 3 first place votes and finished in third
place.
Scotty Bowman
Award – Mike McMillan, Florida Panthers
As expected
the Panthers continue to pull in the hardware after their cup winning
season and this vote was really close as Mike gets 7 first place votes
and 10 votes overall. Craig Steel finishes second with a single first
place vote but 6 runner up votes and Mark McNeil finishes in a tight
race for third as he, Jean Marois and Mark Shannon all have 2 first
place votes.
Sam Pollock
Award – Mike McMillan, Florida Panthers
Not
surprisingly Mike also takes home GM of the year with 6 first place
votes and again 10 ballots overall.
Craig Steel again finishes second with 2 first place votes and
Jean Marois finishes third with a pair of first place votes for
himself.
Bob Nystrom
Award – Thomas Greiss, Florida Panthers
Panthers win
the cup and their goalie, Greiss, puts up outstanding numbers winning
all 16 games with a 1.82 goals against and .922 save percentage which
was more than enough to get his team the top spot with a solid offense
in front of him. Also
considered for this award were hit team mates, Matt Duchene, Sean
Monahan and Brayden Point while Jonathan Huberdeau, Patrick Kane and
Jonathan Toews were all there from the runner up Detroit Red Wings.
Please guys,
you have to make sure you import coaches before you are playing games.
Many of you are not and those are showing up as guys are being over or
underplayed. I don’t want to have to impose penalties but it isn’t
fair to your opponents if you aren’t doing this one thing before
playing your games. Also at a minimum you need to be adding boxscores
to your game reports. I
don’t need .flm files or game exports, just the box that you save at
the end of the game please.
There is a
final playoff file for the finals which you will need to download and
then unzip into a new folder called RHL1920-Playoffs and then switch
to that season in the game and you should be all set.
If you are sending the same lineup for all 7 games then just a
regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for
each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a
lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your road
games, please send that out to the.
**** IMPORTANT
- Action PC Game File Update dated 03/06/2020.
You need to
send out game exports as well as boxscores for all home games
as soon as the games are played. This is MANDATORY, both
the exports
AND boxscores please.
Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick
comment for all games, just adds to the league and makes
it easier for
everyone to see what is going on.
