Claimed: Final NY All Time Stat Update

[Devise 4,475]

As everyone knows it's finally official. New York firesale hasn't just started, it's basically over. A bunch of us have found our way over to the Riga Reign, while the last few stragglers ended up on Davos. All of us now competing in Europe with a very confident and talented Helsinki squad for Season 56. While I was GM I was keeping the all time stats list for the team updated, and now that Season 55 is over I have some final notes to report on where everyone who now used to be on the team stands. While it is still a bit heartbreaking to know a few of these guys could of been even higher on these lists, still some awesome achievements by a group of guys who really stayed loyal to us for a long period of their careers. 

 

Bobby Digital aka @gorlab - Bobby Digital was never going to be able to tie the record for most games played for the franchise. Initially only because he was traded from Davos 2 games into the season so he'd be two games shy of reaching Jukka Hakkinen as the only player to play all 576 games. However the longstanding New York Captain finds himself in a strong position still. With Season 55 he has played 502 games, two shy of the 504 put up by Braxton, Low, and XXX. E'Twaun Delicious will remain in 2nd place with his 553 games played. Amazingly Digital only had 18 goals with the club in those 502 games, as he was always a pass first type of player, including accomplishing the zero goal season in Season 54. However Digital sits 5th all tine in assists, with 372, and also finished 5th for Franchise hits with 1297, and climbed all the way to 3rd in shots blocked sitting at 849. Playoff wise, Bobby Digital sits only behind Daniel Braxton when it comes to games played, Braxton has 72 to Digitals 60. He sits tied for 2nd in playoff assits with Unassisted, both players finished with 46. Braxton still holds the top spot there with 49. He is also tied for 4th in playoff hits, and is 2nd with SB in playoffs for the franchise with 180 and 119 respectively. The longstanding Captain will no doubt get his numbered hung in the rafters for New York once he finally calls it a career, and it's hard not to fathom with how close he was on some of these lists that he would of been 1 in a few categories had he played his final season with New York. 

 

Diana Maxwell aka @Strtlght - Maxwell started slow but evolved into the leagues premiere goalscorer and one of the top forwards in the league. Despite only playing 5 seasons and 360 games with the franchise Maxwell managed an impressive number of points for NY, sitting tied for 8th total with 505 points. Included in that is 239 goals which places her 5th in franchise history. Playoff wise much like the rest of the core here Maxwell played 55 games which is a 4 way tie for 4th. But believe it or not, despite only scoring 3 goals in the S55 playoffs Diana Maxwell now leads all New York Americans players for franchise goals in the playoffs with 34, one better than Tukka Reikkinens 33 tally. There is no denying the impact Maxwell had on the club, and with two more seasons left in her career there will still be plenty more goals for her to score, only now with the Davos Dynamo.

 

Unassisted aka @STZ - Spending half of his eight season career with the Americans Unassisted cemented his overall HoF legacy while with the club. Unassisted just broke the top ten in franchise points at 10th, with 485. Oddly enough leads the entire franchise in total plus minus toppling Conner Lows +285 with a +292 and finished 6th in GWG with 46. Playoff wise Unassisted always seemed to rise to the occasion for the Americans, with a tie for 2nd all time in assists for playoffs with 46, and finally toppling Daniel Braxton for most total playoff points in franchise history with 72. Braxton had 69. The most impressive thing about Unassisteds time with NY was how much he was able to get done with still a relatively short time. Lots of legendary names on these lists a lot of which played many more games with NY that simply couldn't do the type of damage that Unassisted was capable of. 

 

Essian Ravenwing aka @der meister - Ravenwing like Maxwell was a bit of slow starter, but always had a panache for game winning goals, especially it seemed in the playoffs. Ravenwing finished his New York tenure with 405 points in 360 games. Ravenwing also finished tied for 8th in the clutch depratment, with 40 total game winning goals for the franchise. Playoff wise Ravenwing finished tied for 6th in assists with 34, and 8th in playoff points with 52 in 55 games played. Ravenwing ultimately potted 7 game winning goals in the playoffs for the club, which is good for a tie for 4th with the legendary Conner Low. 

 

That about does it. Shankly had some decen hits but realistically he was only cracking tops in a lot of categories there if he stayed a bit longer with the team. Was a fun ride, and despite it ending short these four names who made up much of the core here for our tenure really put some numbers up. Maxwell in particular sitting 1st in total playoff goals I think is impressive, especially considering she had a rather lackluster playoffs for us as we got ousted by Quebec. I'd argue all four of these players probably have the credibility with the franchise to see jersey retirements, especially when you then consider they were all huge factors in the back to back Championship wins. 

 

So  to all you lads, as we put this chapter of the VHL behind ourselves.
