Star Ocean: The Hockey Tourney
“Awards”
Most Valuable Player:
D - Adray Lasbard
Although it came to a shock for some, it seemed fitting for the people who gave him this award. One of the reasons why the Till End Of Time team won the title, was shot blocking. The SO2 team only had one 30 shot game in the series. And Adray was part of that. Also playing a defensive role, Adray played also a key member as the set-up guy for Clair, Blair and even Ursus! Even when his team was down, he would spark them by a fighting display. Also his key performance in Game 6, when it looked like we were going to a Game 6 helped capture him this award. It is pretty rare for a Defender to earn MVP honours. But tell that to Adray! ^^
Best Goal Scorer:
RW - Rena Landford
Besides Dias and Ernest. Rena was basically carrying this team. After being switched to the top line. In every game she would score at least a point. She toped everybody with 4 goals in this series. And counted for 1/3 of the generated goals from her team. Her speed and surprising play stunned a lot of people. She finished for the tops of her team in Fantasy Points. Which is saying a lot, and missed MVP just by a hair.
Most Total Points In Series:
RW - Rena Landford,
C - Blair LansfieldEach of them tied with 5 points apiece. Blair had finished with 2 goals and 3 assists. With Rena finishing with 4 goals and a assist. Rena had pretty much locked up this award until Blair came out of nowhere with her 3 point effort in Game 6.
Molson’s +/- Award:
D - Adray Lasbard, C - Blair Lansfield
Many people thought that Albel and maybe Ursus would of won this award. Nope. Blair and Adray share this award with a total of +6. In Game 6 of the series it helped them by moving up +4. And after a stellar performance like that, how could you not give it to them? Other players that were just a + away from this award: Albel, Marietta and Ursus! And nobody was even close on the Second Story team.
Unsung Hero Award:
D - Ernest Raviede
The entire defence of the Second Story was in shambles throughout the whole series. Opera got suspended in Game 3, and just wasn’t the same since she came back. Zand was hurt most of the way and couldn’t live up to his standards. Narl and Keith weren’t exactly top dogs themselves. So who carried the main load? It was Ernest. Ernest was probably their most unsung hero this entire season. He was second in ice time on his team in defence. Only Jean Bowman was number 1. His clean play and great hits and shock blocking helped his team out big. Bowman, Dias, Claude, Marietta and Ursus were runner-up’s.
Best All-Around Defenceman:
D - Mirage Koas
Mirage had it tough with this award against Jean Bowman. Who was also impressive himself. But it was probably a cup win and the fact that this team only allowed fewer goals this season. Mirage was a beast!!! Although silent on the score sheet, she played with the most ice-time in the entire series with 150 minutes. X_x She always seemed to finish with a least a +1 per night, and also was a key member on the shot block. Mirage also played a lot on the PK. Which helped a lot. So mighty Mirage did her job pretty well.
Best All-Around Offensiveman:
D - Dias Flac
Don’t be shocked that Rena isn’t here. But Dias should take at least a bit of credit. Dias was dangerous every time he touched the puck. He seemed to score with great ease from the right side of the ice on a bad angle. He got Roger three times on that! And with his speed and ability to find Rena open from anywhere. Dias was dangerous. So much that he had the most shots on net with 19, and had 22 hits! Proving that he ain’t no small winger! Dias picks up this award with Rena, Sophia and Clair as runner-up. What no Albel? Apparently he only had 1 shot on net. X_x Which is not enough…
Big Disgrace Award:
LW - Celine Jules
Celine. Who was a second line player, who Claude mentioned would play big during their seven game series. Just was not there. I couldn’t see it! She just never did anything from the first game to the last. Claude never put her on the third or fourth line after giving her all that time!!! She was so bad that she only had 7 shots on net. And for a second liner that is pretty bad. She finished with -3. The Second Story players: Chisato, Narl, Ronixus and Yuki were runner-up for this award. There was no Till End Of Time player mentioned ever on this list…
Play Player Of The Series:
RW - Peppita Rossetti
That fifth and winning goal when it came off Peppita’s stick to knuckle it up over a struggling Leon, was in my mind the play of the series. Peppita killed them after that goal. If she didn’t score the Second Story may of perhaps been able to pull out a Shootout win and send it to Game 6. So good work Peppy!!! Bowman and Sophia were runner-up’s for this award.
Fantasy Player Award:
C - Blair Lansfield
Blair finished with 11 points in the fantasy pick. She has 2 goals, 3 assists and a +6. She finished 1 point up on the MVP Adray Lasbard for this award. With so many great centres like Fayt, Dias and Clair. She was the best Center to pick. Hopely next time somebody does! ^_- Great job Blair. The only other player closer to 11 was Adray with 10, and Albel Nox coming in with 8. He would of got it if it wasn’t for Blair’s 3 point, +4 Game 6. X_x
Star Award:
G - Roger S. Huxley, C - Fayt Leingod
Roger and Fayt picked this award up based on their two appearances in the 3 star column. Fayt was second star twice in two games. And Roger was #1 star in Game 1 and third in another. So not bad hardware for these two. Besides Roger was the better keeper, and Fayt was the better captain. ^_^
Overall Player Of The Series:
RW - Rena Landford,
C - Blair Lansfield, LW - Sophia EsteedThis award was shared by three people this time. Rena, Blair and Sophia all deserve it. But why Sophia? Well back in Game 4 it was her 2 goal game that helped tie this series in 2-2. And eventually win for them in 6. Otherwise the Second Story might have won in 6 or even 5 games. Rena and Blair had stellar performances as we have seen. Good job ladies! ^_^ (What’s wrong with the men? X_x) The only other players to earn this was Dias Flac and Fayt Leingod.
