Brampton Blades were terrible last season and that is just being nice. The Blades this year though are a totally different story. With Marc-Alexandre Leblanc leading the way and young Russian defensemen Roman Sokolov commanding the backline, this squad is looking pretty stellar. Diego Jokinen is also having quite the great start in Brampton as a veteran presence. In the net, Markus King is holding the fort for the Blades with his 4-1-2 record sporting a 2.08 GAA and .879 save percentage. That save percentage needs work but considering this team doesn't allow a large number of shots, King gets bored back there. Brampton already has 10 points on the season which is a far cry from last season when they lost one in every 20 games it seemed. The Blades look stellar and with some veteran carryover from last season and additions through the VHLM Dispersal draft, they should have no problems making the VHLM Playoffs.
