2057/2058
Like the Germans say: Überaschung (Surprise). Well, nobody counted with 60 wins and 121 points.
We had only two 4 and half Star player, then only one with 4 stars rating. And one of the top guys, c enter Cullen Borsato, had a injury filled season. Played only 24 regular season games.
But there was even better team. Mighty Ottawa Senators won 61 games and had 125 points with 122 goal differential.
St. Louis Blues, another power house, is third with 52 wins.
Markus Vitala is between top 3 goalies. Gene Farley has a nomination for Norris Trophy (63 points, +49). Filip Yeliseyenko, 21-years old rookie, has a Calder Trophy nomination (23+25, +39). Only Yeliseyenko won a trophy.
There are 4 players with 100+ points, two of them from Senators. Not usual in my game. But only one player with 50 goals.
Playoff end was in 2. round. Clash of the Titans, Senators vs Red Wings. Motor City lost 2:4, even after 2 first wins.
