A lot has been said recently about the hype and praise Bjorn Scoringsson got as a member of the Philadelphia Reapers. Bjorn made a splash coming into the VHLM and many expected him to have an All-Star level career, particularly with the rate in which his numbers improved for the Reapers as time progressed. While Scoringsson has had a modest young career, there have been those members of the media who believe Bjorn has fallen behind many of his contemporaries from his draft class.
"I can appreciate that many people think I would be player better or living up to the hype that comes with being drafted ninth overall. I've fallen short of my own lofty expectations so far in my young career, but that is exactly what it is: young. There is still time for me to find my feet out there as a member of the Dynamo, and I know my coaches and my GM still believe in me."
"I'm excited for the future as I continue to get more experienced with my teammates, the training regime I'm on, and most of all the travel. Travelling to a new city every couple of nights on the road has taken it's toll on me, and it's no surprise I'm a better play back in Davos where I'm in my own bed. I'm choosing to ignore the critics and focus on hockey the way I was raised to play it: fair, hard and till the whistle blows."
