New Year-End Awards

[Ohio Jones]

NEW AWARD SPONSORS

Hooray for more revenues! (Even if we can't really plan around these...)

The HFNHL is pleased to announce that the league has negotiated some exciting new sponsorships for its end-of-year Awards Ceremonies. New trophies, cups and plaques have been commissioned to honour individuals and teams who excel in less traditional ways.

These new year-end awards each carry a payout of $250,000. (Official league awards - Calder, Selke, etc. - will have a payout of $500,000.) They will be assessed at the end of the season, along with the rest of the league awards.

JC Penny “Pennywise” Award: Team to achieve the highest points-per-million ratio for salary efficiency

Cohiba “Close but no cigar” Award: Team with the highest pro salary to miss the playoffs

It Gets Better Award: Team with the biggest improvement in points over last season

AMC “Breaking Good” Award: Lowest salaried team to achieve .500 winning percentage

Duracell Coppertop Award: Player with highest individual +/-

Tapout Award: Player with most fights won

John Lennon Memorial Trophy: Team with the fewest fights

Target “Bullseye” Top Sniper Trophy: Player with most PS/SO goals

Colt Quickdraw Award: Player with the highest faceoff winning percentage (minimum 100 draws)

Nextel “Next Big Thing” Awards:
Youngest 15-goal scorer
Youngest 40-point scorer
Youngest goalie to post 91.0 save% (minimum 20 games played)

Apple iTeam Awards: (because there IS an "i" in team!)
Road Warrior – best road record
7th man – best home record
Man Advantage – best PP%
Shutdown – best PK%
Clutch - best OT/SO win/loss percentage

Oooh I forgot about these.


$$$$$$$$

 

[Ohio Jones]

Okay boys - I'm all set with these, except two. Because let's be honest, I didn't really think all of these through. (They seemed like a good idea at the time...)

So if you're interested in vying for one of these two more challenging awards, please post your results in the thread below:

- John Lennon Memorial Trophy: Team with the fewest fights
- Clutch - Team with the best OT/SO win/loss percentage

I look forward to all y'all having to do some math for a change!

 

[SenatorsGM]

The Senators finish last in the fewest fights category

Suprisingly the Sens were 8-7 W/L in SO/OT games!

I would appear that the regular season stuff was replace with one of the game days from the first round of playoffs. I believe otherwise the finding out the winning percentage should be easy enough if I could get a link to the standings.

 

[Dryden]

27 fights for Hawks

Yeah, even when you click on the regular season link, as soon as you go to any of the specific pages it defaults to the playoff stats.

Easily fixed: go to the address line in your browser, and delete the following from the url: -plf

That will take you to the appropriate 2013-14 regular season results for that page.

 

[Canuck09]

I must have uploaded playoff results to the main folder one night. I'll try to remember to upload the regular season stuff again tonight so the links are right again.

 

[Ville Isopaa]

Avs should have 16 fights
OT/SO W-L was 5-9

 

[Ohio Jones]

Thanks for fixing the regular season links, Mr. Kirk! Cobsider this a bump for all teams to submit their fight and OT/SO results

Just make sure when counting fights that you don't double-count the fights of players on your roster who played for more than one team.

 

[Brock]

Panthers, 27 fights and a 14-8 OT/SO record.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

Canadiens 17 fights

 

[Dempsey]

I must be doing something wrong because the Regular season link goes to an index page that has all the playoff results.

 

[Ohio Jones]

Was fixed, but may have reverted. See the workaround in my post above.

 

[Fan.At]

Predators have 7 of 31 fights

 

[Ohio Jones]

Since people are actually checking the boards these days, this is LAST CALL for teams who want to tally their fight totals and their OT/SO winning percentages for the year end awards. Only teams who have responded above or by 8pm ET Sunday will be eligible.

 

[TorontoGM]

Toronto was 16 wins and 15 losses in SO/OT

17 fights

Thanks, Mr. Kirk!

 

[Ohio Jones]

Unfortunately, there was an accounting error on these NBT awards:

Youngest 15-goal scorer
Gabriel Landeskog, MTL: Born 11/23/92, 16 goals

Youngest 40-point scorer
Jaden Schwartz, OTT: Born 6/25/92, 56 points (5 weeks younger than Calgary’s Jeff Skinner)

In both cases, Toronto's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (93 born) should have won the award, with 30 goals and 78 points.

That means a deduction of $250k each from MTL and OTT, and $500k added to Toronto.

Sorry for the mistake, gentlemen! Mr. Kirk, please do the needful.

 

[Canuck09]

This has been corrected now.

 

[Brock]

BUMP. Doug, are you doing these again this year?

 

[Ohio Jones]

Opps, yes, I suppose I am. Sorry, been a bit distracted of late. Will get to work on them.
