  1. Been really busy with work the past 2 weeks trying my best to pop in occasionally and get a PT done. Also booked my flights to San Francisco at the beginning of feb. And flights to Thailand for March, going to be nice to be off work for a while and hopefully I can have better activity here

  2. Marcus has come from a lot of adversity throughout his career and it continues to happen as he hasn’t had the best start to his rookie campaign in the VHLM. Through ten games he only has three points and hasn’t played the best two way game you see from a player of his caliber. It is a little to early to judge, but people around the league have criticized his game through the first ten games. Of course it probably isn’t anything to worry about as he is still adapting to the different kind of game compared to junior. Last year Marcus played with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL and made a surprise departure at the beginning of this season. A lot of people don’t think his game isn’t really for the VHL yet. It will be interesting to see if Marcus can start to fit in better, and prove people wrong around the league.

  3.  Early S37 Draft Preview

     

     

    For a while it looked like the league was starting to thin out when it came to new talent joining the league. All of a sudden it looked like the S37 Draft was going to be quite the let down, but all of a sudden new talent started to come out of no where. Today we are going to look at some promising players that will be available come the draft. 

     

     

    Tom Slaughter (LW) - 190 TPE

     

    Slaughter, who is playing with the Bratislava Watchmen this year is expected to go first overall after a few impressive years in the VHLM. He is one of the most talented play makers to probably ever enter the VHL, and is going to be a very exciting player for years to come. Even though he has had a slow start this season with the Watchmen, it’s the work ethic that impresses everyone. Bratislava is expected to win it all this year with most arguably one of the best rosters to ever be put together. They have backed that up with an impressive 14-0 start to the season. 

     

     

    Slaeter Fjorsstrom (D) - 173 TPE 

     

    The five foot ten defenseman who also plays for the Watchmen is expected to battle for the top pick in the draft with Slaughter. Through 14 games this year Fjorsstrom is a disappointing +1 and only has six assists. This doesn't mean anything according to many general managers, as they know what kind of player he is. He has been known to play a very risky game for a defenseman, but his style can pay off largely. Whichever team manages to land him is going to have a great offensive defenseman for years to come. 

     

    Blaine Olynick (G) - 63 TPE

     

    Arguably the best goaltender in this years draft has been criticized for not having the best work ethic and that definitely scares some teams. Olynick could go anywhere from third overall to tenth overall in the draft depending on whoever is on the clock. This season he is playing with the Bern Royals and has posted a 5-1 record to start the year. His save percentage and goals against average numbers aren't the best, but he wins games and that’s what teams want in the VHL. He has a very interesting style of play, which some say remind them of Tim Thomas. Olynick is posed to prove people wrong this season and become a top pick in the draft.

     

    Konstantin Azhishchenkov (C.) - 34 TPE

    Lastly is a surprise player who came out of no where and has been having a very good start to his rookie campaign. Through 16 games this year he has 14 points which is impressive for any player in the VHLM. The almost point per game pace has been noticed by many people across the league and he is definitely making a case to be a top five pick in this years draft. It will be interesting to see if he can keep this pace up and prove people wrong. Being a Russian born player does scare some teams away, but if he can commit to this league, he will be a amazing player.
