Mid-Season Team Report Card: Sather's Eyes (Victor)

Calgary (CP) Before I go on, first I'd like to thank the faithful readers of my blog. Many good suggestions have come and I'm always looking for feedback. As for me, although I am temporarily in first place, these Report Cards are based on the stats as of the midway point of the season.

N/A

Analysis:
As I've pointed out to several other GMs, I really don't know how I'm amongst the leaders. I've tried many many times to obtain a number 1 goalie without anyone willing to budge. Perhaps this blog has to do something with it? I've been fortunate enough that my forwards and defence have been making up my ineptitude in net which I can only hope to continue until the end of the season.

Grades:
+ Forwards (A): Ranks 2nd in G, 2nd in A. With the injury to Sakic early on, the Eyes thought there would be a major drop-off in this area. Handzus has been a bum but with 8 players in the Top 50 PPt getters, the Eyes have been blessed with having a lot of depth despite Sakic on the IR.
+ Defence (A-): Three of the top 15 PPt defencemen are on the Eyes with Pronger having a GDHL MVP worthy season. I've had the luxury of rotating between Paul Martin, Brewer and Komisarek in the number 6 spot. By far my deepest position.
+ Goalies (D-): Ranks 10th in W, 4th in L. For every good, there is a bad... and this situation has been ugly. Hasek's groin problems along with the Caps inability to win had GM Khoo having to rotate between many marginal NHLers. This included Dan Ellis, Alex Auld, Patrick Lalime and now Ty Conklin.
+ Special Teams (A): Ranks 1st in PPG, 1st in PPA. Many GMs do not seem to value defencemen the way I seem to... and this is the sole reason why I want good ones on my team. PPP has been the category that I've been able to make up huge ground in due to the bonuses you get. Again, just compensating for my Goalies.
+ Goon Factor (A-): Ranks 1st in PIMs. Another area I've been able to score big in is having a tough team that take dumb penalties... thank goodness!
+ Overall (B+): Without a trade for a solid goalie, the Sather's Eyes will need some second string backups to perform if they are to have a chance.
