Los Angeles Plays Itself Much like the movie, the Los Angeles Stars are playing themselves into the basement in the Seventy-Four VHL regular season. The Stars currently find themselves with just 8 wins and eighteen points after playing twenty-six games this season. Their eighteen points puts them only one ahead of fellow Season Seventy-Three VHL expansion team Warsaw Predators. While no one inside and outside the roster were expecting the Stars to make any noise in just their second year of existence in the VHL, after selecting twice in the First Round in the most recent draft, management and the fans were hoping for a better showing then their twenty-nine-win inaugural season. One thing that is obvious to the team and their fans, is the fact the Stars are taking way too many penalties and find themselves down a man many times throughout a game. The Stars have currently amassed 299 penalty minutes in their twenty-six games this season, that correlates to 11.5 penalty minutes, or almost 6 minor penalties a game. When you are giving quality hockey teams six changes each night on the power play, you are not going to be on the right side of many wins. While the team is currently playing below their skill level in my opinion, thankfully when you are at or near the bottom, you can only go up from here.

1. Not too long until we get to the TDL, who do you think makes the biggest moves? I believe Moscow will make a move or two. They have 1.75M in cap space to add to their roster. 2. Which team has the best logo? Best name? Prague Phantoms have the best logo in my opinion. I have always enjoyed the Calgary Wranglers as the best name in the VHL 3. Do you think anyone on this team is going to be the first member of the Stars HoF and get their jersey retired? Into the Stars HOF yes, VHL HOF no. I can see Pines in the HOF based on his production and I can see Jiggly Gumballs is he stays with the Stars 5-6 seasons as he is a LR leader too. 4. We're 2nd last place in the standings, how do we fix it? We are not fixing this roster this season, We don't want to fix ourselves at this point. We need another impact player, and a lottery pick will likely bring that along. 5. I think we can all agree that Chicago is overperforming, why do you think that is? The team has just gelled at the right time and found some chemistry. 6. Do you play hockey in real life? What position do you play or would you play? I did and played defense. I even put the skates on one more time for rec hockey this last winter and took a slapshot right off the toe of the skate. My ankle turned black and twice the size. No more semi or competitive hockey now.

Terrible 3rd let this one get away

LA Rolling With Keef After spending just over two seasons in the VHLM, Los Angeles Defenseman Mikeal Keef finally made the jump to the big leagues, just one season after being drafted by the Stars Twenty-Third Overall in Season Seventy-Tree. We are not sure at this point if they extra time in the VHLM helped with this stat but Keef is currently leading the Stars with eleven assists on the season in the ten games played so far. The towering six foot four inches defenseman came into the league having put 123 assists in 164 VHLM games, so Keef has shown the ability to dish the puck to his team-mates, but it’s never an guarantee games will transition from the minors into the pros. Keef is currently just shy of the 300 practice hour mark as we enter the second week of the VHL season, if he continues to practice regularly over the season, the assists should continue to come. With three of the four defenseman on the Stars roster currently in their rookie seasons, Los Angeles fans and management are hoping that Keef will blossom into the star he is currently trending upwards to be.

1. Which team do you think won the draft? As much as this pains me to say this, but I think Vancouver won this past draft. Getting Thightrap and Rune at 3rd and 4th was a big pick up for the roster. Add in Sandstrom later in the first, and Couture early in the 2nd, that was a decent draft for them. 2. We're into the season a little bit now, what's you biggest takeaway from these early games? We are in a lot of games till they very end, we need to continue to grow and gain more conditioning to make those turn our way. 3. Which player do you think is taking the team scoring title (just on the Stars)? Kiak, especially if he continues to get 4 and 5 point games throughout the season 4. Doug posted a shutout against NY. Is he happy about that or sad? I mean he might not get too many more shutouts this season, so he should be happy even if he was the GM of the team lol 5. You get to pick any player in the league and add them to the Stars, who is it and why? I know he is nearing the end of his career, but Guy Sasakamoose, just because of the name. He's also a very good all around defenseman. 6. What should the name of the Stars arena be? Stardome.

Graduation Day The big day if finally here for Lester Green and many other Victory Hockey League rookies. That’s correct the first day of the VHL season is expected to begin today, meaning many VHLMers are experiencing their hockey graduation day. Green was expecting much in terms of his VHL future heading into the VHL draft, but when the Los Angeles Stars took a flyer on the defensive defenseman Thirteenth Overall in the Season Seventy-Four VHL Entry Draft. Now Green is feeling the excitement and nervousness of his first VHL game around the corner. When Green was approached by reporters after the Stars afternoon skate, the soft spoken American defenseman became an open book. “I’m excited to first off be drafted to a club looking to really start establishing itself in the VHL. I didn’t make it in time to the VHL draft due to prior commitments, but once I was able to look at my phone about ten minutes, I noticed my agent had already sent my first VHL contact offer. Now the real work starts, and the expectations and accountability of my game start at home with myself. I know I wasn’t brought in to score fifty plus points each season, so my expectations need to match that. I need to play solid in my end of the ice, making sure Doug has a clear view of incoming shots. I am also going to need to be more aware of the penalties I am taking this year. While I want to be known as a physical guy on the ice, I need to walk the fine like and cut down some of the unnecessary penalties I took last season with San Diego.” When Green was pressed about any reservations he has outside of walking the fine line on the physical side of things on the ice, Green followed up by saying; “I don’t want to say I am afraid of making mistakes, as sometimes that’s is the greatest learning tool, but on the bigger stage each error you make is going to be magnified. I can honestly say I have some reservations about making mistakes that alter the outcome of the games.” With the Stars being an expansion franchise that only has one year of VHL games under its belt, Green and the rest of the Stars rookies will be leaned upon even greater in their rookie seasons, as the club doesn’t have the veteran presence many of the more established clubs do at this point. Hopefully Greens rookie experience this season will meet all his expectations and keep his reservations at bay. Green during his rookie training camp 435 Words
