I came across this great read involving secret stats, Dave King and Tomas Holmstrom, a fan favorite of RW Jason Torsok. After reading, I thought about which player in our league would have the best secret stats.
From the Hawks perspective, Mac would win hands down if the stats included pre-game pops, number of Beerfest's attended or picking losing Kentucky Derby horses. Barry would win if the stats took into account the number of times you attempt a slapshot, break your stick and curse all the way to the bench because it's your second $100 stick broken this session. Carp dominates the drawing stick figures on the wall of the sin-bin category. Tommy and Monahan look great skating around opposing defenders, generating chances. For me though, Torsok wins the price hands down. He's our Holmstrom, with longer hair and a more adept offensive lineman frame.
Looking through the league, I'd say Johnny Red Pants from the Leafs is up there. As is the new defenseman for the Mamas and Papas, #4. The Leafs of course have #93, but he skates too fast and does too many fancy turns with the puck causing me to look stupid, so he gets bumped six spots for that. Eric Ott, C, for the session champion Effin Mo's is a big body and plays his position well. He also seems to make a point to say hello before the game begins, a quality show of sportsmanship, before he knocks me over on the face off.
The Hawk killer over the last three years though has been Tool Helmet, Bryan Wharton, of Discover/Big Pucks. He's scored many goals on our favorite netminder, Jason Jensen, despite excellent goaltending. He's a sniper, playmaker and a quality defensive player.
Boy, what a great addition he'd be to the Arrowhawks.
