Blaine Olynick stopped 13 of 14 shots in the Royals 3-1 win over the watchmen
There's a reason to be excited in Bern after the recent victory over the Bratislavia Watchmen.
The Watchmen have been the powerhouse in the VHLM and have been the best team in the league so far. When the royals welcomed the Watchmen to Bern they had lost the previous 2 meetings 6-3 and 4-2 respectively. Not many people gave the home team a shot against a team that had only lost one game all year.
Royals fans were treated to a great performance form their team and thanks to goals from Henrik Hedman, Mikko Leskonnen, and Ron World Peace they managed to hand the Watchmen their second loss of the year and proved that they could handle the top team in the VHLM.
While he didn't earn a star for the game, Blaine Olynick had a game he will surely remember, especially since it came against such a great team. He managed to stop 13 of the 14 shots he faced and while the numbers aren't eye-popping, they were what was needed to beat the watchmen.
While it is early in the season, and while this game may not affect the standings when it all is said and done, the Royals proved that they can beat the Watchmen which is exactly what they are more than likely going to have to do to go far in the playoffs.
NEW YORK - So it's Thursday night and I'm an incredibly bored individual tonight. So I'm going to do something that apparently many members of the VHL seem to enjoy: thinking of an incredibly absurd premise and running goddamn wild with it. So tonight, I will be coming up with an idea for a movie, but I cannot use real actors to cast the parts. Instead, I must use players and personalities from the VHL (and VHLM). Interesting, right? Well, I'm only just getting started.
THE PLOT:
Set in a VHL city (New York, Riga, Davos, etc.), a vicious killer has been making headlines with a spree of rather disgusting, despicable crimes. Worst of all, the killer is openly mocking the police, seeming to always be one step ahead of them and more or less making a mockery out of the force. Ideally, this gives the commissioner the idea that of course the killer must be one of their own (holy shit!). But how will he be able to investigate his officers without alerting the killer? He'll have to assemble a team of his very best, most trusted men in order to keep their department from unraveling whilst the perpetrator runs amok.
THE PARTS:
The Commissioner: Victor Alfredsson
Really, did you see anyone else getting this part? Victor is perfect for this part, with him able to constantly delegate menial tasks to other people, vent off about taking a loose cannon's badge and, of course, being too old for this shit.
Now, the commissioner can assemble a smorgasbord of cop movie cliches for his team, those being the seasoned veteran, the no-nonsense cop, the loose cannon, and the rookie.
The Seasoned Veteran: Mitch Higgins
With his professional attitude, a proven track record of getting things done and being a team player for the VHL, Higgins is the absolute personification of a seasoned veteran for the commissioner's team. He'd be the guy calling the shots when the team is in a situation where the commissioner doesn't want to get his hands dirty.
The No-Nonsense Cop: Joey Kendrick
While he is certainly one for humor from time to time, when it gets down to business, Joey Kendrick doesn't fuck around. His serious, unflappable manner is more than a match for criminals who have the information he wants. He will consistently have conflicts with the loose cannon.
The Loose Cannon: Sergey Brovalenko
In regards to protocol, the only protocol is that there is none. Brovalenko gets results his way and he simply does not care what people think in regards to how he gets those results. He will undoubtedly shoot several perps he did not need to, along with coming up with creative, likely illegal ways to get the perps he didn't shoot to talk to him.
The Rookie: Davey Jones
Hand-picked by the no-nonsense cop to join the squad, this rookie has shown some excellent skills while at the academy, but is untested in the field and has some growing up to do. Despite the danger the loose cannon presents to derailing his development, the rookie respects his peers and shows a constant desire to improve.
Now, we need some other characters too, don't we?
The Killer: Mikey Blade
Come on, that's totally the name of a killer. Not to mention he's a devious son of a bitch who nearly loophole'd his way out of playing for the team that drafted him. Lock your doors around this madman.
The Enforcer: Xin Xie Xiao
He's 6'8, 250 lbs and fulfills the role of a token minority as well. Absolutely no contest for a guy leading a pack of thugs in a shootout/fight scene with our heroes.
The Dispatcher: Motherfuckin' Noah
Because someone with a soul-crushing job needs to have an unexpected sense of humor to add comic relief from a completely unexpected angle, right?
Guy Arrested For Public Drunkenness: Jardy Buncleworth
Because I'm contractually obligated to make at least one joke about Jardy in every media spot I write.
