The Debut of: Thoughts from the Friedge
Hello. My name is Elloitte Friedgeman and I have some thoughts. This is the debut of an article series I hope to produce on a weekly basis covering a number of random items that catch my interest in the week that was in the NSHL (and MSHL).
On NHL Re-Rates...
On Wednesday the league released the always hotly anticipated NHL ratings. Unlike last year where tweaks were made to the FG (fighting) and LD (leadership) categories, the BoD was satisfied no further changes to formulas were required this year.
That's not really a surprise given the uptick in fights this season since the adjustments were made to FG. From the NSHL Individual Leaderboard alone there are 23 different "fight winners" listed and that's without having Rivalries turned on.
The idea behind Rivalries as you may remember was to increase intensity between teams, however all it ever seemed to do was create an unrealistic number of penalties each game, taking away from the game itself.
The fine line appears to have been walked effectively by the BoD here and I don't expect Rivalries to be back anytime soon as a result.
On Streaking...
As I write this there are remarkably still four teams alive in the Winning Streak challenge - a concept the league brought back in an upgraded fashion from NSHL21.
Word around the league is that the concept is well received and easy enough to monitor on a daily basis by the Commissioner's office so it is expected to return for NSHL23.
As with every concept or idea, if there's room for improvement you can expect every effort to be made to find "the better way". One of the minor or as some would say "LMC" gripes with the concept at present is some clubs never get challenged so they're never affored the opportunity to earn an extra life.
I spoke to a few people around the league on this and it seems a potential solution to the problem coming as early as the NSHL23 version will be to let the challenging team choose between winning 10 PTS or winning an Extra Life before the game is played.
An interesting proposal to perhaps keep more teams in the picture for longer, although the first win out of the gate remains key and likely still takes out 50% of the league early.
On the Playoffs...
What a turn around season for the Columbus Blue Jackets whose NSHL canon has certainly taken an about face since flying north from Anaheim. The Blue Jackets currently sit atop the NSHL standings and lead the Central Division by 8 PTS.
On Friday the Blue Jackets bolstered their line-up adding John Hockey and Zach Werenski from the Maple Leafs in return for blue-chipper Trevor Zegras. GM Josh is certainly making a push while attempting to cash-in on Evgeni Malkin's "return to MVP form" season.
You've got to wonder if the recently released Franchise Player Tag is an Auction item Columbus is monitoring closely to try and keep Malkin around longer-term.
Meanwhile, further down the standings, the Hamilton Mustangs are trending downward after losing their second straight and really need better production from their blue-line. Hamilton has been openly shopping Shayne Gostisbehere and will likely run with one of their rookie blue-liners if they can move Ghost for futures.
Originally I thought the perfect fit for Ghost was back in Toronto where he spent years as the blue-liner in the league. Now Toronto is in full on tank mode I don't that the fit is as perfect. I do wonder if the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins could be a fit, despite being an Eastern rival.
The Penguins boast a couple of young players the Mustangs could covet including 23 year-olds Ryan Poehling and Juuso Valimaki (+ the Ryan Ellis expiring). It might work, might not.
So, that's it for me this week and this has been the debut article for my new segment.
Now remember, if you're hungry for more from the NSHL, open the Friedge!

The NSHL Is Not Fully Inclusive, Well, Not 100%
The NSHL has checked the box on being inclusive. Or has it?
Yes, it has Luke Prokop in its farm system, still has Akim Aliu as active, and employs many GM's born in North America, that have different cultural backgrounds. An active GM proudly portrays pride flags and other bright Green colours in various chat rooms.
However, the league lacks any pride flags of their own to be displayed on the homepage. Although, it is rumored that one GM may want to be, there is no female GM's in the league. The only time a female has had any involvement is a brief mention of an unknown Rebecca, and some lady named Lorraine.
The league GMs did form a group, called the mBOD, which, for whatever reason, has everyone available to view everyone is an active member, even those non-minorities. This has cause confusion with some GM's who believe the group is actually the BOD, when in realism the M stands for "minority". I am sure this GM will realize his error and admit to it.
Inclusive? A once co-founder of the above mentioned mBOD isn't even allowed in that group anymore, he does not have access. In fact, a self-proclaimed "all-inclusive" league doesn't even allow that GM into their "pay per view" chat rooms. Inclusive? I think not!
What the league needs to do, is have a much brighter webpage. Inside the league created chat rooms for the GMs, a nice logo has been created. But why limit this to the chat rooms? Why not display this on the main page for all to see when they open it, in nice bright colours? I am sure all GMs would love that, in Season 22 and23, where all pcs can handle the pixel increase(except for those farming bitcoin, but, that is there problem).
Make the page brighter in other words! Pride all around.
The league missed out on Black history month in February, Gender Equality Month in March, International Womens day, and this month, have missed out on Indian, Asian and Pacific and Older Americans month.
A pride day/night/week for all teams, whereas they display, with open arms, their pride jerseys, either created within the NSHL, or copied from the NHL (Good luck "fake team" Hamilton). A pride month for the league where all pride logos are displayed, and where GMs can post, articles on how they are accepting and inclusive, to all for extra TCP or cash, or, how they are MAGA against it. As they to have a view and are inclusive in their own land.
It's not hard NSHL to get this right, you've done some small things to make small steps, now some larger things are needed to make larger steps. NSHL Inclusive? It can happen!!!!!!
Next month is pride month NSHL, balls are now in your court!!!
For the Inclusive in Coreymond, I am Crent Trimm.

An Early Case For Three Award Nominees You Are Definitely Overlooking And Will Probably Continue Overlooking
The Lady Byng
Listen I get it, Ryan Nugent Hopkins got into a gentleman's altercation resulting in a not-so-gentlemanly 5 minute major, and now none of us know whether the simulation is broken. And that plus-minus? There is nothing gentlemanly about the turds he's been laying on the ice. It's been four year, but we have to move on. Maybe we can rename the trophy the Nugent-Hopkins Trophy sponsored by Rochester Garbage Plates as a consolation.
I would like to propose some alternate candidates, based on the two simple criteria established:
Exhibits best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct
High standard of playing ability
Objective, measurable, easy.
53 NSHL players have played at least one minute of hockey, while recording zero penalty minutes. Of these 53, only five have logged more than 1,000 minutes of ice-time.
Cam Fowler
Hampus Lindholm
Tyson Barrie
Rasmus Ristolainen
Brandon Saad
What a load of dross. Scratch that, let's raise the criteria to 4 or less PIMs, so I don't have to pretend that any of these guys deserve an award. A new name jumps out immediately: D Rasmus Andersson.
55 GP, 23+ AMG, 31 points, and 4 PIMs. Most importantly, it's the 100+ hits dished out to the 90 taken. This man is a true gentleman. Every hit taken, is returned right back with interest. In a society that just takes and takes and takes (looking at you NYR), this is what it means to be a gentleman in the year 2023.
The Norris
Hey you. Yeah you, with the hat in your DP that ain't fooling anyone. I know you're thinking that Krug or DeAngelo, or heaven forbid, Dumba deserve the Norris. Do not be fooled by the points. They are not your guys.
Your NSHL 23 most deserving Norris candidate ranks:
96th percentile in hits
99th percentile in blocks
99th percentile in takeaways to giveaways
84th percentile in plus/minus
97th percentile in minutes per game
99th percentile in penalty killing minutes
...amongst all NSHL defenders with a minimum one game played. For you non-analytical dorks, he hits good, blocks much, gets puck back, and plays a lot. Probably carries a lunch pail too. He is how a run-of-the-mill defender with 73 PA, 66 SC, and 69 PH can anchor the top defensive pairing for a #ELITE team with Stanley Cup aspirations.
Our hero's name? Klas Dahlbeck of the Montreal Canadiens.
NSHL 23 Awards.. Let's put the "d" back in defenceman.
The Most Improved
If any NSHL GM votes for anyone but Daniel Sprong, then they deserve to be suspended from the league, and be forced to do community service. I hear the NSHL PA might need an assistant, they seem to have a lot of issues with caps lock, commas and decimals for whatever reason. And the league always needs help answering emails from a certain GM based in the Southeast. However, Sprong was recently traded to the Maple Leafs, and I strongly suspect that his purple patch has come to an end. Is there a candidate that might be able to overtake him by the end of the year?
The answer is no and you really shouldn't believe every clickbait article title you come across.

Prepare for Battle: King of the Rink Returns!
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:
- His Majesty, Evander Kane the First.
- His Majesty, Tyler Seguin, the Next.
- His Majesty, Tyler Ennis, the Surprise.
- His Majesty, Nazem Kadri, the Recent.
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 |

| 12 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 164 | 177 |
Previous Winners Earn Extra
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 DECLARE YOUR ENTRIES YET
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.
Show Up & Survive
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.
The SUS Challenge
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.
We're Going Streaking - Again!
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!).

Columbus Scouting Landy?!
My sources tell me that the Blue Jackets are sending scouts to monitor Minnesota's Landeskog in hopes the Wild are serious about rebuilding. According to sources, the Columbus GM isn't sure if everything he's read online about Gabe is true, however an offer centred around JJ Moser and/or Jamie Drysdale likely puts the possibility of acquiring him closer to fact than fantasy. -
