    The C.G.Y. Janser Story, Part XXX: A new season

    Season 94 has started and the Americans caught a good start. As is standard since Janser's arrival in the big apple, his team shows one of the better defence in the league. The hulking Swiss defender with the no-nonsense attitude is loved by his team mates and feared by his opponents. The hardnosed back just came back from a ProAm campaign for the ages, where he collected almost twelve hundred penalty minutes and a 35-21-61 fighting record in just 58 games. Even HOF defender Brian Payne, renowned for his gritty play, said 'Wow! Insane fight numbers for CGY. 35 fight wins (in the round robin) is impressive. GM Vince Wong was quoted during the official announcement of the New York leadership group, where Callum was confirmed as an alternate captain, that: 'He (Callum) commands respect on the ice, and he is the man on defense that keeps the opposing players honest.'.

    So let's see what the veteran defender can do for the cup-draught-ridden franchise from the Empire State.

    1-4

    In New York's season opener against the erstwhile Continental Cup Champion the DC Dragons, the former showed a display of text book defence, only allowing the one goal which spoiled 36xW's potential shutout. Jeannot scored th only goal in the first period. Dodo grabbed his first point for his new team with an apple on said goal. The premieres kept on rolling as Trunov found in the second frame the back of the net for the first time in an Americans jersey. The Dragons pulled on back during a man advantage, but Analfist and the oldest VHL rookie in recorded history 137 year old Wayne Gretzky (the third debutant on this night) put the nail in DC's coffin. Analfist (1g/0a), Janser (0g/1a) and Amish (0g/2a) were named the three stars of the match. While rookie netminder Benson (.905) showed a decent performance on his debut, 36xW (.944) clearly took the win in the netminder duel. New Yorks special teams need some fine tuning after a long off-season as neither the penalty killing (2/3) nor the power play (0/3) were up to scratch.

    CGY was recorded with 0g, 1a, +2, 0 PIM, 5 hits and 2sb

    6-5

    In a duel between two Original Eight franchises, the Americans took a hard fought win over 'The Six'. It was the Legion though, who first scored back-to-back goals. Before the first siren, Jeannot was able to cut Toronto's lead in half in a powerplay situation. The second period looked even worse for the New York outfit as they only had Amish's marker against their opponent's three. Two of them in less than 30 seconds after the NY defender's mitigating goal. However, the Americans executed great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes by scoring four consecutive goals and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Davis, Jeannot, Yvel and Trunov found the back of the net for their team. The Legion had no rebuttal to this onslaught and left the ice as a beaten team. The post match honours went to Jaks (3g/1a), Jeannot (2g/1a) and Analfist (0g/4a). As is expected in such a high scoring game, the netminding left much to be desired, with the better end for 36xW (.902) over his adversary Castle (.813). New Yorks powerplay was Uber-efficient (3/4) and the box play immaculate (2/2).

    Janser left the ice with 0g, 1a, +1, 7 PIM (Fighting, High Sticking, with obviously no effect on the score), 3 hits, 4sb and 1 fight won.

     

    Due to their early success, the Americans are sitting first in the league, but of course it is early in the season and this can change swiftly.

     

    CGY's score sheet so far reads as follows:

    2gp, 0g, 2a, 2pts, +3, 7 PIM, 8 hits, 7sb, 1-0-0 fighting record

    CGY Janser flying back home

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted

    After a partly successful show in the Highland Games (and an ensuing drinking spree which is best left unmentioned), Callum is driving down to London to catch a flight back to New York. He needs to report to the MSG asap for the pre-season practice. He ponders about the second place his clan has grasped in the annual clash of clans. While not being on top of the list, at least the winning clan in the McAllisters is a clan with whom the Fergusons are on a friendly basis and in the past centuries even have forged the occasional alliance, either against other clans or the Sassenach. The rival McLeod clan was really no competition, not helped by severe case fo Delhi-Belly rampaging in their camp.

    He really enjoyed his time with his extended family, and the time in the ProAm Tournament, which this time was held in Kilmarnock. A very convenient coincidence for Callum. As in the Highland Games, his clan team, the Halifax Herefords, came second. The Flora Vista Foxes, who already dominated the round robin with their highscoring hockey, swept the more physical inclined Herefords in the final.

    He wonders whether GM Vince Wong will get an additional forward with the limited cap space available or whether the Americans will run their roster as it is. The Swiss defender has developed into one of the best defensive backs in the league and is on the New York roster in terms of raw talent second only to Analfist.

    There is a sad part as well though, his draft class mate and roomie Rin Kagamine tested free agency and so the saga of the 'Beauty and the Beast' may likely have come to an end. He is going to miss the 'Nagasaki Nightingale', but this is the way of professional sport.

    The C.G.Y. Janser Story, Part XXIX: A pre-season interview

    (stats for Janser, stats for Kagamine)

     

    Our correspondent Dick Hammer had a Teams interview with Callum during his stay at his grandfather Scottish estate in Ayr, the Ferguson clan's residence. The Swiss giant dresses for the Halifax Herefords, which finished second in the standings after the fifty games round robin.

    DH: 'Hi Callum, thanks for taking time to answer a few questions.'

    CGY: 'Sure thing, Richard. Fire away.'

    DH: 'Halifax has literally fought its way to second place in the ProAm Tournament. How do you explain that you hardly finished a match and were ejected a lot of times for fighting.'

    CGY: 'That is a good question. I never shied away from a fight, if it was for policing reasons. I would not do it just for entertainment. I think it is a combination of some players having higher ambitions than skill. That can lead to frustration, especially if you have players in your team that are only having fun and play for the sake of meeting old friends and not for the wins. Frustration than can lead to dirty plays if the game does not go your way. If you add inexpierenced refs into the mix, you are more than likely going to witness some good old fashioned pugilism.'

    DH: 'We have also seen an increase of scoring from your side with around two points per game?'

    CGY: 'I would not go that far. Some of the players in the ProAm are retired for a while now, and they lack the practice. Some others are still on VHLM level and you would expect to see a difference in skill level as well as experience. I still hope to match or improve my last year's contribution to the Americans' success. However, I never was an offensive minded defender and this was known at draft day. Of course I endeavour to improve my play on all levels constantly, including offensive contribution. Let's see what the next season brings.'

    DH: 'Some say NYA is one of the top teams in the league this season. Are you already planning for the post-season?'

    CGY: 'Of course our goal is to compete and that means making the playoffs. But we all know that teams change their face during the season. Look at Calgary for example, who looked like a playoff team and they did not make it. Look at the Bears, who made moves at TDL and became the team to beat, after pundits did not give them a lot of credit in the preseason predictions. We have a good squad, we could keep last year's core and added the best NHL player of all time in Wayne Gretzky to our roster. I think we are in a good place.'

    DH: 'We hear that you are representing clan Ferguson in the oncoming Highland games. Will you wear the kilt traditionally?'

    CGY: 'I was raised to honour traditions and hence yes, I will go commando underneath the Ferguson tartan.'

    DH: 'No concerns about... revealing photos showing up in the internet.'

    CGY: 'Not at all. I grew up in the understanding that ones body is nothing to be ashamed of. Both of my parents are European and have quite a relaxed approach when it comes to nudity.'

    DH: 'Okay, I think that is all for now. Thanks and good luck in the Highland Games.'

    CGY: 'Thanks, I appreciate it.'

     

    Here the round robin stats of our Swiss Gladiators:

    CGY: 50gp, 41g, 63a, 104pts, +30, 1024 PIM, 137 hits, 123sb, 7ppg, 1shg, 2 First Star nominations, 35-19-52 Fight record

    DJ: 50gp, 60g, 59a, 119pts, +26, 149 PIM, 168 hits, 79sb, 11ppg, 3shg, 62.34FO%, 9 First Star nominations, 5-3-13 Fight record

    I wouldn't mind having an Octavia Scout as a dedicated fishing vehicle tbh. Škodas are not bad, but...you know...everyone around has one lol. Lemme check. There are 12 parked cars I can see from my window. 7 od them are Škoda. 

     

    I'm quite surprised my company doesn't use Škodas. But there's a major Hyundai assembly line in Czechia, I guess it makes sense they're even more affordable than Škodas.

    We used to drive Skoda, first a Fabia stationwagon (before they were shrinked) and then a Skoda Octavia RS stationwagon... if Skoda built Vans we would still drive one. Best sold car brand in Switzerland in the past decade or so...

    A 2009 Audi A5 coupé I bought second hand in 2014 as a 20yo with more available money than common sense. It's fun to drive, it has a 3.0 TDI engine, but for the last 3 or 4 years, I've been talking about selling it and buying something more economic. I really like a Mazda 3 hatchback, for example. Still can't bring myself to do it tho, I like that thing.

     

    Also a company Hyundai i30.

    shame on you, you ought to drive Skoda ;)

     

    CGY Janser participates in the Highland games

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted

    After a hearty welcome by Adam, Callum's grandfather and chieftain of the Ferguson clan, the Swiss defender had to stay for a traditional Scottish dinner. His uncles and aunts were there as well and with them his cousins as well. Once the table was cleared, his granda addressed Callum: 'Cal, it is a spot of good look that you are here at this time.'

    'Why is that, pops?' asked the NYA alternate captain.

    'See, Connor was meant to represent our clan in the Highland games. But that fool managed to dislocate his shoulder in a rugby match against the MacLeod clan.'

    'Yeah, that was unwise. He should have known better than to partake in a game against our arch rivals in the Highland games. Do you suspect foul play?'

    'Nay, he twisted his arm when he stumbled over his own feet. As much as it grieves to say that, but this time the MacLeod's are not to blame for our misery. Regardless, we do not want to lose against them.'

    'Listen, Adam. I am ready to stand in for Connor, but contractually I cannot participate in the log throwing, too much risk for an injury. I am sure you understand.'

    'Aye, that I do. We signed up Fergus for that competition anyway.'

    'I see why you would do that. Uncle Fergie has four inches on me and another eight stone on the scale by my guess.'

    'That is about right. Thanks for doing this, Callum.'

    'We are family. Even though I do not bear the name, I carry the blood. Of course I will help you out. I have not forgotten the good times I had here, whenever we visited here. And I cannot let it happen that the MacLeods have the better of us. Time to begin the training then, I am a wee rusty, ye ken?'
