1917 NHL Regular Season
Here is an in game generated preview for the upcoming season. Nice feature.
Games are few and far between in this new NHL, making it a short season for yours truly. Halfway through December, we have our first trade. It’s not a big one, but because it’s our first, ill take a look…
The
Habs send 26 year old C
Joel Rochon, who wasn’t playing, to
Toronto, for 39 year old Goalie
Billy Nicholson, who wasn’t playing. Neither have any real potential. So, despite me mentioning it, nothing to see here.
Billy Nicholson, involved in the first NHL trade
At new years, the
Ottawa Senators have the leagues best record, at 4-2-1. They have a OT loss, which I guess is worth a point, even though I’m very sure OT and OT points weren’t a thing 100 years ago. That’s pretty disappointing. I hope I can edit that in the offseason…
Newsy Lalonde is off to a incredible start, with 15 assists and 20 points through those 7 games.
Lalonde has a point in every game this season. Goaltending isn’t too great right now. A lot of goals are being scored.
Newsy Lalonde, the NHL's first STAR?!
No deals occur before the Feb 1st deadline, so I power ahead and sim right to the end of the season. Each team in the
WCHL tried multiple times to sign me as a GM. Is there a commish mode where they won’t bother?
FINAL STANDINGS
Ottawa finishes in first with 31 points, I assume they now will play the
Montreal Canadiens for the right to represent the
NHL in the Stanley Cup. I believe it’s a 2 game most goals series. The
Toronto Arenas miss out by a single point!
Newsly Lalonde and
Frank Nighbor are just significantly better then their peers. Both of them averaged more then 2 points a game.
