The question is clear, but the ramifications are anything but.
MSHL players have always outscored their NSHL counterparts. The Commissioner and BOD are already aware of, and have taken many steps, to resolve the league's goaltender problems. But the problem seems to have only been exasperated.
Andrew Cogliano led last year's MSHL scoring, producing 13% more points than his NSHL counterpart, Auston Matthews.He also out-goaled the venerable Ryan O'Reilly at a 25% clip.
Ok so, MSHL goalies suck, and a 35 year old likes to run up the score on kids. Who cares?
Fast forward to this year, and we have the leading MSHL players out scoring their NSHL counterparts at a 94% (points) and 77% (goals) rate.
I'll let you arrive at the obvious conclusion.
When will the BOD implement a drug testing policy? Is it a coincidence that the most suspect MSHL players currently play for large markets such as the Blackhawks and Flyers?
Vegas have closed bets on the MSHL MVP race as of this afternoon. A source, not at all close to the league, declined to comment.

The opening day of this year's Point Scoring Challenge (PSC) is here and an updated bracket will follow shortly via Discord!
Every player is scheduled to play in two regular season games per round which counts to their total. A reminder that if for whatever reason the player does not appear in the games as scheduled, they will receive 0 PTS for that game in that round.
Updates during the PSC will take a little longer to compile given the work done in the background to tally everyone's progress. Your ongoing patience this time of year is appreciated!

120 brave souls will enter the fray on Day 10 of the NSHL22 schedule, thinking they have what it takes to capture the crown as the next King.
Many will fall.
Upon completion of twelve 13 day rounds, our next King will be crowned, following in the footsteps of those that came before him:
24 cities will each send five warriors to battle, hoping to produce enough points to advance on through the brutal tournament with a cool enough name to warrant witty commentary by the court jester at interval gatherings.
Scoring from tournaments past remains in place: 2 PTS for a GOAL, 1 PT for an ASSIST, 0.5 PT for +/- and a negative 0.5 PT per PIM.
Here is the breakdown of each round.
Round | Entries | # Groups | # Per | Start Day | End Day |
1 | 120 | 10 | 12 | 10 | 23 |
2 | 80 | 8 | 10 | 24 | 37 |
3 | 64 | 8 | 8 | 38 | 51 |
4 | 48 | 6 | 8 | 52 | 65 |
5 | 36 | 6 | 6 | 66 | 79 |
6 | 24 | 3 | 8 | 80 | 93 |
7 | 18 | 3 | 6 | 94 | 107 |
8 | 12 | 2 | 6 | 108 | 121 |
9 | 8 | 1 | 8 | 122 | 135 |
10 | 6 | 1 | 6 | 136 | 149 |
11 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 150 | 163 |
12 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 164 | 177 |
If entered, previous holders of the crown are entitled to double earnings for the entirety of their survival in this year's tournament. It is, of course, up to their team to decide whether their entry into this year's tournament is worth it. Perhaps? Perhaps not.
Do not, do not, do NOT delcare your entries into this year's KOTR - yet. A deadline will be set once the season is under-way.
Should you choose to disobey this order, your entries will be in fact STRICKEN from the list and replaced with Toronto players for the headache I have to endure. Be warned.
It's free, OK?! It's going to be free.
The only requirement for GMs is to participate and $10M can be theirs. Cash. No strings attached.
While it may seem a little.. SUS.. the league's newest add-on challenge is free for all and requires minimal effort. It's a Survivor Pool, NSHL style. All you have to do is Show Up and Survive.
In a timeline similar to what we're used to from KOTR, with a scoring system identical to KOTR, GMs will select 1 C, 1 LW, 1 RW and 2 D each round and try and earn enough points to survive. Once a GM selects a player, the player may not be selected again.
The league will not be making who selected who details available in-round, although as time progresses GMs may be able to SUS it out for themselves.
At the end of each round, cuts to the bottom GM(s) will be made until we're down to only one. ...and they'll be rich!
So when the dust settles, will you be able to say you survived? I SUSpect not.
Yes, the Winning Streak add-on returns to NSHL22, and with a much needed makeover.
The overall premise for this year's version of "streaking" is similar to last: don't lose. However, the big change to this year's Winning Streak is the addition (and subtraction) of points.
Ok, go ahead and challenge a team to a Winning Streak match. Lose that match? You're out. Done. Finished.
Challenge a team and WIN the match, well, now you're streaking! That's +20 PTS.
Here's the game changer: Every game where you fail to challenge someone to a new Winning Streak match, -2 PTS gets deducted from your total and if you hit 0 PTS, you're out.
Teams will have until Game 20 on their schedule to enter the Winning Streak challenge (free of charge). The winner will be determined at the end of the Regular Season by the team still able to Streak that has the most points.
For those of you that feel they've had a successful X, get ready because you'll want to keep it up to go Streaking.. and it'll be the dead of winter to boot.
Good luck. You'll need it (and also gloves!).
