Girts

2. Warsaw Predators , Girts Galvins 1 (Brian Payne 21, Zach Kisslinger II 26) at 5:02. Well it finally happened! Warsaw rookie Girts Galvins scored his 1st VHL goal.. in just his 45th game! That's right folks, no longer is he a player who can't score in the VHL, he is a player who can score roughly once every 45 games, so watch out or you will miss his next goal in game 18 of next season! All kidding aside, it was a great feeling to finally light the lamp for the Warsaw Predators and contribute to a victory. Girts Galvins 1st goal was assisted by his long time teammate from Bratislava Brian Payne who must have decided this is getting ridiculous I better set up my boy Girts for a goal. Zach Kisslinger also got in on the action and now shares some history with Girts. Now that Galvins has finally scored he's hoping he can get hot and help the Predators down the stretch with some clutch goal scoring. The team is doing well and are top 6 in the entire league so it looks as if they will make the playoffs despite Girts lack of production in his rookie season. I guess you can say Warsaw has been doing great without much contribution from rookie Galvins so if he can pick it up it could really give them a big boost heading into the post season.

The Warsaw Predators of the VHL are heating up, they've won 4 in a row and 8 of their last 10 games. Currently sitting 5th in the European Conference with a record of 19-13-2 with 108 goals for and 93 goals against for a +15 goal differential. As it stands right now they are the hottest team in the league over the last 10 games, tied with Moscow with a 8-2 record in that stretch. The Predators have been playing great lately led by Bogdan Trunov who has a team leading 18 goals and 38 points along with Hari Singh Nalwa who also has 38 points but a team leading 32 assists! The Predators are also getting great production from Aberg (37), Kissinger (35), Marner (34, Welch (31) and Wilk (29) points. Degroot (21) and rookie Brian Payne (18) points are also playing well. Rookie Girts Galvins however is a complete disappointment so far with Zero goals and just 8 assists through 34 games. Other than that things are looking up for the Predators and this win streak is definitely a sign of things to come from this dangerous group. Only 4 points behind the Prague Phantoms with 2 games at hand, it's only a matter of time before we see Warsaw 4th in the European Conference. Things are looking good in Warsaw.

1. Yes I actually love fly fishing and go as much as possible, great that you asked this question! 2. I've seen McDavid so I'd have to say him, was incredibly fast. 3. Tough one, but I'll go with Cake. 1. What's your favorite sport besides hockey and why? 2. How would you feel if your player was a sniper and went 30 games without scoring? 3. What's a cooler hockey peripheral stat, hits or blocks and why?

With Zero goals, yes amazingly zero goals through 20 games, Girts Galvins has decided to burn his current stick and all his back up sticks and get a completely new stick and sponsor. Galvins was playing with Warrior sticks the past 2 seasons and lighting it up in the VHLM and then VHLE quickly becoming known as a highly skilled young goal scorer with a bright future. Then came this season his VHL debut for Warsaw and despite playing 2nd line he has not scored a single goal and is barely averaging over 2 shots per game. Something's not working, so he's going to try changing sticks. Galvins has reached a deal with Easton Synergy to exclusively use their sticks moving forward. He's excited about the new deal and figures things can't get any worse than they already are so might as well try a completely new line of sticks. Easton synergy sticks were popular in the early 2000's and were one of the first all composite sticks. Let's hope Galvins can start scoring soon because frankly this is getting embarrassing.

1. I would have joined but have no idea what your talking about or that it was available, why didn't you tell me? lol. 2. My favorite is mubblefubbles because I only listened once and it was good and I dont know any others, sry. 3. VHL Africa because that's a large continent and would have some interesting teams and lots of exotic animals to use as logos and team names. 1. How are you liking the new attribute system? 2. How is your player doing so far in the new system? 3. If you could move to any city in the world where would it be and why?

Amazingly Girts Galvins has not scored a goal yet this season for Warsaw. The rookie sniper had made a name for himself over the past 2 season in the VHLE and VHLM racking up 75 goals between two leagues, however it's not been so easy in the VHL through his first 11 games. Galvins is trying his best out there but just not getting it done so far. He's not taking a ton of shots either, only 23 through 11 games, so that's a contributing factor as well. Warsaw has struggled a bit as a team before winning two games today so hopefully Girt Galvins can score some goals soon and help the team win more games, otherwise he may have to add to checking so he can at least do something exciting out there! We have to think the Latvian sniper gets a goal soon, but any hopes of rookie of a year are pretty much out the window. It's ok because he's young and on a talented team like Warsaw he's not a go-to player yet, but he hopes to help the team soon with some clutch goals. Stay tuned!

1. Yes I've been following the pre-season and we're on fire, definitely a sign of things to come, hopefully! 2. I don't know all the awards but I think Brian Payne and Girts Galvins will be in the hunt for rookie of the year. 3. I would tell them how easy it is to pick up how to earn tpe and update your player, it's very user friendly. 4. I'd have to say DC, the one that uses Defense and Skating, those are both important imo. 5. Edmonton has clinched I think, so I will go with LA and Vancouver as not making it, unfortunately. That said I could see LA sneaking in over Dallas if anyone. 6. I've watched a ton of movies the past year or so on netflix/amazon, but amazingly cant remember any right now that I really loved, probably need to rent one. However I watched the series 1883 on paramount and it was real good, sad, but good. 7. I'd move them to just south Portland and call them the Portland Prairie Dogs.

Rookie sensation in his own mind, Girts Galvins took the ice with his new team the Warsaw Predators on Sunday and found himself on the 2nd line with Omi Aberg and Robert Wilk. It's just pre-season but Girts was fired up, taking 4 shots in his first game and registering an assist in his 2nd game, both big wins for Warsaw who should be a better team than last season as they made some key call ups and off-season moves. Girts was honored to start the pre-season with great players like Omi Aberg and Robert Wilk, we expect this line to build chemistry as the season gets going. We know Galvins will be working hard to improve each week. Girts wanted to give a shoutout to his fellow Warsaw rookie and last seasons teammate in Bratislava, Brian Payne, who came out of the gate on fire with 2 goals and 2 assists in his first pre-season games for Warsaw. Galvins and Payne look to be a big part of Warsaw's future. We'll follow these two closely as the season progresses.

1. Of course I think Warsaw is one of the favourites, we have a strong group and great coaching. I also think Moscow will be pretty good this season. 2. It seemed a bit long, but I'm ok with a long off-season, I think it was like 3 weeks, so maybe 2 weeks would be better. 3. That'd be quite an achievement, but I think he could be, he's on pace to be the greatest leafs goal scorer of all-time, but he needs to do it for much longer to be considered as great as some of the other leafs legends. 4. Hard to say but I'd probably guess around 90 points. 5. As a mid 400's tpe rookie I'd be happy with 20 goals and around 40 points. 6. Yes I do follow NFL but not super up to speed on the current draft, I'd probably say that huge offensive linemane though, cant remember his name but saw some talk about him.

2nd pick, D - Hard Markinson @ROOKIE745

Yes
