Daniel Janser

That is really neat. I like the lighting effects you put on the font as well as the 'crinkle' on the Jersey number (Josi Fan?). Neongreen with white is the only 'soft' no-go, I would preferred a darker/stronger hue for the number, but this is a matter of taste and I cannot fault you for that. 10/10

I like the team motto on the sign. A lot of players (me included) but draft year, position, jersey number and/or team they were drafted into, which moves the focus on the player. You decided to put the focus on the team with the city in the background (which I would not have recognized, but hey I am Swiss) and the team motto. Apart from that I only noticed the 'C' which you addressed already on your own accord. 7.5/10

1. quite frankly no, I think to be successfull the PP over a season should be around 20-25% efficiency. We have that in some games but not consistently 2. There are still 24 games to be plaid and it is within our power to do it. I believe in this team and am sure we will make the playoffs. 3. I think my player gets enough icetime considering his role and position (and I have never been someone complaining about perceived lack of ice time. Just perform the way the coach has no choice but play you). 4. The last game (game 284) was a tire fire in my point of view. There is no shame attached to lose to the number one team as a botttom four team. I was just surprised that they beat us so thouroughly in all the important stats in that game. Anyways, these are not the games we need to win (though it does feel good if you do) but the games against SSK/MIS/SDM/MEX/HAL... 5. Since I am one of them (and related to another) I take a raincheck on this question, but I think everyone in the team does his/her best to pull his/her weight 6. I like the questions you ask (as long as you can deal with the answers ;)), and of course I would not know what you did in respect of scouting and how. I think you are doing good so far. 7. Penguins 8. I do not know, I have not looked into the rosters yet, but I rule out Buffalo and Seattle 9. to seek relationship advise from Al...

Swiss Central Gazzette Our local hockey exports played another two games since our last article. The first match was against the Hounds, the brothers' previous club. It was a close match with the final score being 6-5 for the Reapers. The game's tide changed several times and GM @Alex_J32 must have grown a grey hair or two during the course of the match. First the Reapers scored to consecutive goals with Dokisl opening the proceedings, assisted by Marcel and Mursu. Almost 6 minutes later, Daniel scored with Jones and Sanderson dishing the puck for him. Then it was for the Hounds to perform and perform they did, with three unanswered goals in less than 90 seconds. A little over five minutes later, the Reapers scored two back-to-back goals, Daniel with his second of the night and Ayodele with his second of the season reinstated the Philadelphian lead. Mississauga pulled one back, before the Reapers scored an other two consecutive goals with Dokis and Ayodele scoring their second goals of the evening each. The final goal in the match went to the Canadian franchise, but there was not enough time left, and so the Pennsylvanian carried all the points home. The three stars went to Lospenov (2g/2a), Bedard (2g/1a) and Ayodele (2g/0a, one of which the gwg). The netminders' performance was nothing to write home about, but it was not bad either with .857 for MIS and .878 for Des Aves. The Reapers had 1/5 power play (which is okay) and 3/5 box play (which is not). Marcel showed a 0g, 1a and +0 record Daniel was 2g, 0a, and +1 The second match was against the best team in the league the Yukon Rush, which the Reapers lost ignominiously 6-1. The only daylight we see in that game's performance was Des Aves who prevented his team with a .895 saving rate from an even higher defeat (Price had .941). The East Coasters were out shot 57-17, had a 0/5 power play (non)performance and a 6/8 penalty kill success rate (which at least was average). Also the two best shot blockers in the league only managed to stop two pucks between them, and as mentioned before there was no shortage of Rush attempts. Daniel saved what dignity was left in the team this night by scoring the last goal of the game and disallowing Price his shutout with 6:43 minutes left in the game. The Reapers were clearly outclassed in almost every aspect and it is for the coaching staff now to find out whether Yukon was that good or the Reapers that bad (or a little of both). It will surprise none of our readers that all three stars were occuppied by Yukon players with Mulds (3g/0a, including the gwg) taking the lead followed by Karjalainen (1g/1a) and Colors (0g/3a). Marcel had 0g, 0a and -2 Daniel logged 1g, 0a, -1 and 27:01 minutes played (second of the team) After the two games Dan was awarded the Reaper Key, a trophy which is passed down from the previous holder to the next one for outstanding performances in the period expired since the nominator (this time Reaper's captain Mason Jones @Masu Chan) received it. Daniel was equally surprised as honoured to receive such a distinction by his peers, but he was also miffed about the loss (more about the manner it developed rather than the loss itself, Yukon is not leading the league for nothing and it is okay to lose against such a team). The Jansers stats so far in their freshman season: Marcel: 48gp, 13g, 25a, 38pts, -7, 36 PIM, 52 hits, 102sb, 1gwg, 6ppg Daniel: 48gp, 23g, 26a, 49pts, -20, 30 PIM, 101 hits, 24sb, 3gwg, 5ppg, 1shg Please find the complete saga and related articles as per below: https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109268-a-tale-of-two-brothers-in-dire-straits/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109294-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1st-quarter-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109334-a-tale-of-two-brothers-close-encounters/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109416-vsn-s80-under-200-power-rankings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109429-a-tale-of-two-brothers-tsunami/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109529-phimis-s80/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109546-a-tale-of-two-brothers-wind-of-change/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109768-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-new-dawn/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109821-a-tale-of-two-brothers-settling-in/

Swiss Central Gazzette The Jansers had a busy time since our last article and played 6 games in the interim. They played Rush, Storm, Hounds, Aces, Marlins and Halifax. The first game was against the Yukon outfit and ended with a 8-2 win for the Rush. The Alaskan team won the first and second period with 1-0 each. At 5:30 minutes into the third, during a powerplay, Marcel scored with one of his meanwhile feared slapshots from the point to make the game 2-1. Yukon drew one back, also in powerplay at 9:54 minutes. Not a minute later Bernier scored the 3-2 and kept his colours in the game. Unfortunately, Hogan with another ppg and Corvo sealed the deal for the Rush. Philadelphia gave the game away in the special teams as power play (1/7) and box play (2/4) were not up to their usual standards and against the best team in the league, this is a killer. The Reapers did a lot of things right, mind you. They played a neat defensive game for the two first periods and provoked a lot of penalties. Consequently, they gave Yukon a run for their money. Alas, this time it was not enough to come out victorious. They were not helped by the fact that Des Aves had one of his weaker days with only .833 saving rate (his average for the reapers is .887) and was bested by Price with .895. The three stars were Corvo (1g/1a), Commodus (1/0) and Mulds (1g/1a). Marcel recorded 1g, 0a, -2 and 3 blocked shots (more on that later) Daniel was more discrete with 0g, 0a and a -1 rating The second game was against Minnesota with the final score being 3-2 for the Reapers. The Philadelphian won the first period 2-1, with Simeoni and Daniel (in power play) being the scorers. Daniel created traffic in the slot and deflected Jones' shot. The second period went 1-0 to the Reapers (Sanderson scoring the goal in power play with Iaxazaluoh making the final pass). Salo scored late in the third to catch up to 3-2 but there was not enough time left on the clock for the Minnesota team to score the equalizer. Des Aves redeemed himself and saved .946 of the shots fired at him, while Grubauer only saved .824, which was not enough to drag his team to a win. The Storm even pulled their goalie with 39 seconds left in the period, but to no avail. The Reapers' power play was better (2/9) than in the previous game and so was the penalty killing (4/5). The three stars went to Sanderson (1g/0a) gwg, Des Aves (35/37 shots saved) and Daniel (1g/0a). Marcel logged 0g, 0a and -1 Daniel was the more eye catching player with 1g, 0a and +0 as well as third star The next game was against the Janser's old team, the Hounds and the Reapers came out triumphant with 7-4. The Canadian team came out of the locker room on fire and scored the first goal only 22 seconds into the game after 2 seconds of power play, hardly enough time for the umpire to drop the puck. The first period was fought with open sights in general as it ended 3-2 with the Hounds scoring the first and the last goal of the period (both in power play) and the Reapers scoring three unanswered goals (2 x Bernier, 1 x Jp). In the second period the Pennsylvanian had three consecutive goal with Daniel scoring two back-to-back goals (each time assisted by Jones and Iaxazaluoh). The goals were basically carbon copies of each other, a perfect transition on the rush, with Dan finding the holes (5 hole in the first attempt and above the blockers on the far post in the second). Marcel also contributed to the third Reapers goal in that period by setting up Mursu with a Hail Mary pass for his goal. The Hounds fought back however and score two unanswered goals, but Powers with his third goal of the season suffocated the last hope the Mississaugans had to win a point. All is not peachy though. The Reapers allowed three goals on five penalty kill situations and only scored on one out of four power plays. Luckily, they were the better team by a country mile on even strength (6-1). Both goalies were not performing to their standards with a .826 (Des Aves) and .788 (Mississauga) saving rate respectively. Daniel was named Player of the Match with 2g/0a (one of which the game winner) with Bernier (2g/0a) and Mursu (1g/1a) following suit. Marcel had 0g, 1a and a +2 rating to his name Daniel recorded 2g, 0a and +2 We asked Daniel what it felt like to be named first star against his former team. Said Daniel: 'You don't think at such things at all during a match. The coach defines a role for you which you dispose of to the best of your abilities. Apparently this was good enough tonight to be named First Star. Then it dawned on me and it felt awkward. But @N0HBDY even texted me and congratulated me to my performance. I replied that I wish it was not against them and wished him and the team best of luck (just not against us). So there is no bad blood between us. We all know that these things can happen in sports in general and hockey in particular and I think the Hounds' fans and staff would think worse of me, had I not given my all.' After their win against the Hounds it was time to face the Las Vegas Aces, which on this occasion appeared more like Queens, as the Nevada team lost clearly 6-2. The Reapers let no doubt of who the better team was that night and scored five consecutive goals. The Jansers contributed two (Dan) and one (Marcel) assists to the result. Had the Philadelphian power play not been practically inexistent (only 1/12), they could have racked up a cricket score. The penalty kill was adequate with 4/5. Des Aves was clearly better than his adversary Blanchette with .882 vs .818 saving rate. To absolutely no-one's surprised the three stars were monopolized by the East Coast team with Simeoni (3g/0a) Hattrick and game winner congratulations!, Bernier (1g/3a) and Ayodele (0g/2a). Marcel was noted with 0g, 1a and +0 Daniel logged 0g, 2a, +0, 4 hits and 4 PIM (Hooking and Holding each, none of which led to a goal against) Next up were the Marlins and again the Reapers proved to be the better team, though by the tiniest of margins (3-2 final score). The first period ended 0-0, the second with 2-2, each team scoring back to back goals. Daniel (together with Jones) assisted on Moinet first goal of the season for the 1-0 lead in power play. In the third period, it was Daniel who scored the gwg with 1:59 minutes left in the game. Byrne was called off the ice for an additional attacker, but on his way to the bench, Iaxazaluoh won the puck relayed it to Jones who one-touched it to Dan. He saw the vacant goal and the scrambling netminder who desperately tried to reach the crease again and lobbed the puck and luckily he was true on target and the puck just dropped enough to make it under the crossbar. For once, both goalies showed a good performance (Des Aves .905, Byrne .914 saving rate). And also both special teams were decent with 3/3 for the pk and 1/5 for the power play formation. The three stars were Jones (1g/2a), Wilk (1g/1a) and Xavier (1g/0a). Marcel was 0g, 0a and -1 Daniel had 1g, 1a and +0 to his name All good things must end and so logically the Reapers lost their sixth and final game (of this article of course) with 4-2. For once, neither of the Jansers were on the score board (not even for penalties). Bernier and Simeoni scored for the Philadelphians. While Des Aves' performance was not bad (.852) Tsezar's was better (.900). The Reapers' power play was weak (0/7) while their penalty killing was flawless (4/4). One could imagine that a better goalie performance as well as a more efficient power play would have tipped the scales into the Reapers' favour. The three start were made up from Yrwy (0g/3a), Von Strangle (1g/1a) and Doe (2g/0a). Marcel logged 0g, 0a and -1 Daniel recorded 0g, 0a and -1 as well To the shots blocked: with Iaxazaluoh (96) and Marcel (100, on tied first in the league) only being four blocked shots apart, the bets in the team are off as to who will win this contest. We think whoever blocks more shots, the winner clearly is Des Aves as the two defenders strive to outsuffer the other one while putting their bodies in harms way. The Jansers' stats for this season: Marcel: 46gp, 13g, 24a, 37pts, -5, 36 PIM, 51 hits, 100sb, 1gwg, 6ppg Daniel: 46gp, 20g, 26a, 46pts, -20, 30 PIM, 98 hits, 23sb, 3gwg, 5ppg, 1shg Don't miss earlier articles in/articles related to our series: https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109268-a-tale-of-two-brothers-in-dire-straits/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109294-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1st-quarter-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109334-a-tale-of-two-brothers-close-encounters/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109416-vsn-s80-under-200-power-rankings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109429-a-tale-of-two-brothers-tsunami/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109529-phimis-s80/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109546-a-tale-of-two-brothers-wind-of-change/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109768-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-new-dawn/

Swiss Central Gazzette Since last we met our two intrepid heroes, they were playing in three other games for their new team the Reapers. The Bulls, Rush and the Marlins were there adversaries. The Reapers lost the two first matches and won against the Californian team. After their very good entry into the new team, the brothers were not able to repeat their performances of 5 and 3 points in four games again. In the first match, which went 3-1 to Houston, neither of the Jansers appeared on the scoreboard. Marcel even took a double minor for highsticking, which led to Wilson's 3-1 in the third and put a nail in the Reapers' coffin. Dokis scored the only goal for the Philadelphia team in the second period and was assisted by Ayodele and Iaxazaluoh. The game became a battle of the goalies with Des Aves recording a solid .903 and Hroch an even better .964. As the former Brigade netminder stole the points almost single handedly, he deservedly was named first star of the night. Silver and Bronze went to Wilson (1g/1a) and Miglaskems (0g/2a) respectively. The Reapers' special teams were okayish with 1/5 in power play and 3/4 for the penalty killing units. Marcel logged 0g, 0a, -1 and 6 PIM (2x High Sticking, 1x Hooking) Daniel recorded 0g, 0a, +0 and 2 PIM (for Tripping, no effect on the score) The second match against Yukon ended 5-2 for the Alaskan team. Marcel had an assist to Dokis' 1-0 2:11 minutes into the game. After that, only Yukon was on the score board with 5 unanswered goals. The final goal in this match was scored by Iaxazaluoh 16:12 minutes into the third, which was too little, too late to change the outcome of the game. Accordingly, the lime light was monopolized by Rush players with Colors (1g/1a), Meridius (0g/2a) and Leduc (0g/2a) being named the three stars of the night. The Des Aves showed a .857 saving rate and was bested by Price's .926. The special teams were ok in terms of penalty killing (3/4) and rather disappointing for the power play (1/8). Especially the latter will not suffice to gain points in games against top teams like the Rush. Marcel went 0g, 1a, +0 and 3 shots blocked (first of the team) Daniel logged 0g, 0a and -2 The third showdown against the Marlins was 5-4 with Marcel scoring the game winner with one of his signature slap shots from the blue line. It was a roller coaster of a game with San Diego scoring the first goal of the game, only to be scored against three times in a row. They showed morale though and scored three consecutive games of their own. The Reaper's reply to this Herculean effort was two goals in the same period, which ultimately decided the game. The goalkeeping on either side had room for improvement with .800 (Byrne) and .871 (Des Aves) respectively. The Philadelphian special teams showed improvement with 2/5 in power play and 3/3 on the penalty killing. The three stars were Wilk (2g/0a), Dokis (0g/3a) and Zubov (0g/1a). Marcel had a 1g, 0a, +0 record. Daniel had 0g, 0a, -2 and 2 PIM (Interference, no goal scored against the Reapers) to his name. The Swiss' stats are as follows for the season so far: Marcel: 40gp, 12g, 22a, 34pts, -2, 36 PIM, 47 hits, 93sb (second of the league), 1gwg, 5ppg Daniel: 40gp, 16g, 23a, 39pts, -20, 28 PIM, 85 hits, 21sb, 1gwg, 4ppg and 1shg We will keep our readers updated on the Janser's quest for glory.

Swiss Central Gazzette We asked our local VHLM export Daniel Janser what his plans are after his developing player career. Apparently he is already contemplating his future, as he gave us the following reply: 'I will attend sports management courses while still playing on a professional level. One never knows when a career such as mine comes to an end. Bobby Orr is but one example where injuries led to a premature career end. Once I retire from playing hockey, I will buy me an explorer yacht. Something like a Nordhavn 148 and make a 2 year world tour with my brother, sister and the rest of the family. Some of the stops which I already 'bucketlisted' will be Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, the Mediterranean, the Bermudas, Antarctica, Australia, Canada, the US (both coasts each), Hawai'i. I am sure more destinations will come to my mind, there is still plenty of time after all. Once back I would like to be a coach or GM of a smaller team and pass on my experience and encourage young players to pursue their dreams. It would be amazing to contribute to the success of the next generation's player and to see them conquering the VHL. I also have plans to found an academy for kids who do not have the financial means to play hockey and to help them to develop their skating and other skills. Of course marriage and kids are always an option and it will be interesting to see what sports (if any at all) they dip their toes into. Should I be ever tired of hockey I could still learn how to fix/restore vintage cars, as I like the classic muscle cars (even though it is irresponsible nowadays to drive a fuel guzzler such as these). I also play with the thought of getting a pilot's license as I am fascinated by aviation as well. There is so much to do in the life after hockey. Whatever I end up doing, I want to enjoy myself and only do what I have a passion for and I want to give back to the community and to the people who helped me along my way, such as my parents, my siblings and the coaches who encouraged me. I want to learn an instrument, preferably E-Guitar and build a house back in Switzerland (maybe converting an old farmstead, so I can keep my family close). I could also imagine to 'join the dark side' and start a refereeing career. I have the highest respect to the refs as they have to take splitsecond decisions without really participating in the game but still being a crucial part of the game. It is always easy as a spectator to make 'the right' decision with all the different angles and super-slo-mo's on the video cube. But it is not an easy job to make the calls when they happen and being surrounded by 12 ripped, adrenaline fuelled athletes who are not always ok with the your decisions/interpretation of the rulebook. In short: I am sure I will not be bored after having retired from playing hockey.'

A different hue this time, same mug shot (unfortunately not many pictures of my favourite player around to experiment with)

Overall not bad, the logo swap is a little 'rough on the edges' but you are still learning so not a biggie... I would have chosen a different font for your text it looks it would have been more suitable for the Reapers or any other 'supernatural' franchise as it reminds me of 'Stories from the Crypt'. I'd give it a 7/10

Overall really nice graphic. Just a few points to consider (and that is high level 'complaining'), the Islanders logo on the helmet is still recognizable... if it is too trick to replace with the respective team logo, I recommend to 'overpaint' it. The number on the back looks odd (but maybe that is only my perception and I could not achieve the level of 'crumpledness' you did). I like the font of the name and if you used a different colour for the font than the lightning it would be perfect (I had to second guess the name). Of course if you wanted to keep the amount of hues limited this is fine as well. 9/10

1. In the last week we've added several players from waivers, what impact do you expect them to have this season? We have a pretty stacked roster and I hope every player will make an impact according to their role. 2. Currently we sit in 9th place in the league and are trending in the right direction, are you happy with the team's performance? Coming from the Hounds that is a big improvement (no offence to the Hounds or their management). I think everything is possible if you reach the playoffs (which we have realistic chances to do) 3. We're officially 1/4 of the way through the season, what player on the roster has impressed you the most? Iaxazluoh 4. What team do you think is our biggest rival and why? Halifax because we are only a couple of goals apart 5. What team has been the biggest surprise to you this season? The Hounds I really did not expect the rebuild to be so painful for them. 6. How has your player been performing so far? On the scoring side better than I expected being a grinder and all, unfortunately it was not enough to help the team win games. 7. What song should be our goal song? Don't fear the reaper (Blue Oyster Cult) 8. Is water wet? only between 0-100 degrees Centigrade (at sealevel) 9. What is one thing the VHLM or myslef could improve upon? cannot think of anything, but I am sure to let you know, should I find something

Swiss Central Gazzette Since we last reported from our overseas hockey exports, a lot has happened. The Hounds lost another 8 games with the Janser brothers in their roster and for reasons which will become obvious in the course of this article we will not go into further details on the games themselves. Here are the stats for the Jansers thus far for the Mississauga franchise. Marcel: 33gp, 10g, 19a, 29pts, -1, 28 PIM, 41 hits, 83sb, 5ppg Daniel: 33gp, 13g, 21a, 34pts, -18, 18 PIM, 68 hits, 19sb, 4ppg, 1 gwg After the thirty-third game for the Hounds, the Hounds GM @N0HBDY, called the brothers into his office and told them that they were traded for S81 picks to the Reapers. He also mentioned that it is not their lack of commitment or a disappointment on the management's side in regards of the Janser's performance/development. The reason for the trade was 1. to give the brothers a better shot at a trophy this season and 2. to tank picks for next season. When Jean-Luc Lieuxperroux approached the Rotkreuz natives for a statement, they replied as follows: Daniel: 'We would have stayed with the Hounds of course and do whatever we could to turn the ship around so to speak. But N0HBDY explained to us, that apart from giving us a shot at the playoffs, the Hounds need the picks for a rebuild next year.' Marcel added: 'Therefore, if this is for the best for the Hounds, then this is what the management has to do. We are tankful for the trust they put in us and the development we were able to make during our time with the Hounds. We only wish the team and the management all the best.' Only one day later the Jansers were sitting in the plane to report for duty with the Reaper's organization in Philadelphia. After a brief meet and greet, the brothers joined the first training session and had the first matches already the same night. The first match against Halifax ended 5-4 in the Reaper's favour. It took Daniel only 4:51 minutes to score the first point for his new team when he assisted to Sanderson's 1-0. Other than that the brothers kept a low profile, which is not real surprising, considering the circumstances. One thing to mention is that Jones was sent prematurely to the locker room by the refs for running his mouth towards them. The game was 4-4 at regulation time and the sudden death did not decide the match either. Therefore, the shootout decided over the additional point, with the better end for the Reapers (Mursu and Dokis converted both and Des Aves saved both Halifax attempts). The goalkeeping was in favour of the 21st with .902 vs .826 as was the special teams (Philly had 2/3 penalty kill and 0/7 in the powerplay). The three stars of the match were awarded to Yrwy (3g/0a), Bernier (2g/0a) and Hagel (0g/3a). Marcel logged 0g, 0a, +0 Daniel had 0g, 1a, +0, 3 hits (top of the team) and 26:14 minutes (3rd of the team) to his name. The second match was against the Marlins with 5-2 being the final score. This time it was Marcel who scored the first time with one of his signature slapshots from the blue line (assisted by Powers and Mursu) for the 2-1. in the second period he returned the favour and assisted Mursu in his goal for the 4-1 lead. Des Aves showed a stellar performance with a whopping .931 saving rate. The Reapers' power play was lack luster (1/7) but the penalty kill was flawless (4/4). The lime light was hogged by the Philadelphia team with Mursu, Simeoni and Marcel with 1g/1a each. Marcel recorded 1g, 1a, +2, 2 PIM for hooking (which obviously did not result into a goal scored against the Reapers) and 1 shot blocked Daniel had 0g, 0a, -1, 6 hits (2nd of the team and 1st of the forwards), 1 shot blocked The third match was against the Wild with a 7-3 final score. The first period went 1-0 to the Saskatoon team and only 2:17 into the second period the lead 2-0. Then it was Daniel's time to shine. He first scored an even strength goal on a textbook transition into the five hole, assisted by Moinet and Jp at the 6:30 minutes mark. Only six minutes later while penalty killing a minor Jp took for hooking, he rushed a puck Ixazaluoh shot out of the defence zone. Dan was faster than the opposition, which was in the course of changing their blueliners, went one-on-one with the Wild's netminder and buried the puck top shelf. This was the first short handed goal in his career and it was highlight reel material. With only 17 seconds left in the second period he made a perfectly timed 40 yard pass to TheGreat which had no problems to deke around the netminder and score the 3-2. Dan's work was not done yet, though. He scored the final goal of the match at 10:15 minutes into the third with a tap in after circling the net and receiving a one touch pass by Ixazaluoh. The first hat-trick of his career. Des Aves was clearly better than his opposite number (.875 vs .708), while the special teams were a mixed bag (5/5 for the penalty kill with one shg scored and 0/4 for the power play). The three stars were all Reapers with Daniel (3g/1a), Iaxazaluoh (0g/4a) and Moinet (0g/3a). Marcel recorded 0g, 0a, -1 Daniel logged 3g, 1a, +4 The final match went to the Houston Bulls with a score of 5-2. The first and the third period went to the Texan team with 2-0 and 3-0 respectively, while the Reapers claimed the middle period 2-0. Marcel had an assist on Mursu's 3-1. Daniel took to minors for interference and high sticking respectively, luckily with no consequences on the scoreboard. Houston's Hroch outperformed Des Aves with .913 vs .848. The Reapers' penalty kill was as efficient (6/6) as their power play was not (0/2). The three stars went to King (2g/2a), Miglaskems (1g/3a) and Elsby (0g/2a). Marcel had 0g, 1a, -1 Daniel recored 0g, 0a, -1 and 4 PIM The Swiss Hitmen's stats for the whole season are as follows: Marcel: 37gp, 11g, 21a, -1, 30 PIM, 44 hits, 89sb, 5ppg Daniel: 37gp, 16g, 23a, -16, 22 PIM, 78 hits, 21sb, 4ppg, 1shg, 1gwg Please also find related articles: https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109268-a-tale-of-two-brothers-in-dire-straits/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109294-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1st-quarter-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109334-a-tale-of-two-brothers-close-encounters/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109416-vsn-s80-under-200-power-rankings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109429-a-tale-of-two-brothers-tsunami/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109529-phimis-s80/

Swiss Central Gazzette Since last we wrote about our intrepid heroes four games were played and interesting developments on the Hounds' roster occurred. The first match was against the Houston Bulls which the Hounds conceded 3-2. It was a very close match and it is not easy to pinpoint the reasons why the Hounds were not able to bring some points back home. The Bulls had a very strong 10 minutes at the end of the first/beginning of the second period, where they scored three consecutive goals. Apart from that, it was just one of these days you cannot win, regardless of your performance. The shoots were almost equal (30 vs 27 in the Bull's favour), the Hounds had the better special teams (1/7 powerplay and 6/6 penalty kill, which is decent), the goalkeeper had a .900 save rate but was bested by Hroch with a .926 in that category. Marcel scored a highlight reel goal via the crossbar from the point in powerplay on passes from Bedard and his brother Daniel 13:37 into the third. The coach pulled the goalie with one and a half minutes still to play, but to no avail. The three stars were Godlander (1g/0a), Delle Donne (0g/2a) as well as Glove Dropper (1g/0a) and we think Hroch was robbed for not being on the podium. Marcel logged 1g, 0a, -1 and 26:03 minutes played (tied best with Daniel and Bedard) Daniel had 0g, 1a, -1 and 26:03 minutes time on ice. The next game against the Reapers was a close call as well and the Hounds started well into the game with two unanswered goals in the first period. Bedard scored with a sweet deke 22 seconds after face off, assisted by Lospenov and Daniel. The Philly team pulled two back in the second period though and so at the beginning of the third period, the game started anew. The Reapers scored the 4-3 with 14:03 into the last period and made it a one goal lead. In an act of desperation, the Hounds pulled the goalie, but the risk was not only not awarded but punished instead, as the Pennsylvanians scored an empty netter with 48 seconds left on the clock. The Hounds had 0/5 power play and 2/3 penalty killing success rate, which was not enough this time to steal some points. Reaper's netminder Des Aves was clearly better (.903 vs .833) than his opposite number even though the Hounds outshot their opponent 31 vs 25. The three stars were Delisle (2g/0a), Simeoni (2g/0a) and Bedard (1g/0a). Marcel had 0g, 0a, +1 Daniel recorded 0g, 1a, +1 and 25:02 minutes played (top of his team) After this match, the Hounds' management decided to release Slaney as well as Hall to free agency, as their development did not match the franchise's expectations. This will certainly not make things easier for the Mississaugan outfit in the near future. The first game after this breaking news was against the Wild and was lost 5-3. The remarkable statistic is that on 5vs5 the Hounds win this game 1-3. However, their penalty killing was a tire fire (4/8) and the power play inexistant (0/2). The game was decided in the middle period, when the Wild scored three unanswered goals (two of them in a 2'+2' power play, converting both opportunities into goals). Daniel scored a goal 11:24 minutes into the game with a slapshot from the high slot which went in via post. Marcel was screening for his brother so that the Saskatoon netminder saw the puck too late and had no chance to react in time. The goalkeepers showed an average match with .870 (SSK) and .853 (MIS) respectively. The three stars were Jankowski (1g/3a), Fingers (2g/0a) and Eklund (0g/4a) Marcel recorded 0g, 0a, +0, 7 hits, 4sb as well as 25:32 minutes played (tied first with Bedard) Daniel had 1g, 0a, +0 The fourth and final match covered in this article was lost to the Marauders with 1-5 and it has to be said that this match was largely decided by the goaltenders with Jarvinen showing a stellar performance (.972 saved shots) and the Hounds netminder pulling a really bad day (.773). At the end of the second period, the Marauders had a three-nothing lead and did nurse this advantage in the final period. The Hounds scored once to make the game 3-1 (Daniel had an assist in this goal) but the Miami team scored twice thereafter to which the Hounds had no answer. The Mississaugan penalty kill was immaculate (4/4) and the power play was adequate (1/4). The three stars were Chiang (2g/2a), D 1g/3a) and Nuzuki (2g/0a). We think that Jarvinen was changed short for not being nominated one of the spots in the lime light. Marcel logged 0g, 0a, -1, and 4 PIM (both times for roughing) Daniel showed 0g, 1a, -3 and 2 PIM (holding the stick) Here the brothers' stats so far: Marcel 25gp, 5g, 10a, 15pts, -3, 18 PIM, 20 hits, 59sb, 2ppg Daniel 25gp, 11g, 18a, 29pts, -5, 6 PIM, 55 hits, 10sb, 1gwg, 4ppg We would be sorely amiss if we did not mention that Daniel was named the standout player in the VSN article by @ajwllmsn 'S80 under 200 Power Rankings' (link below, bottom of the list) Please find related articles here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109268-a-tale-of-two-brothers-in-dire-straits/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109294-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1st-quarter-done/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109334-a-tale-of-two-brothers-close-encounters/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109416-vsn-s80-under-200-power-rankings/

Swiss Central Gazzette When the Hounds had a lazy week last week with only one match played, they had a busy week this time around with three games pencilled in for them. Unfortunately, the Mississaugan team was not able to win one of them despite coming close twice against the Wild. The first match was lost 3-2. Both teams played very solid defensively, but the Saskatoon team made the bigger effort in the offensive department and deservedly won. This was also demonstrated that neither team could score in their powerplay attempts (three for the Hounds and four for the Wild). The Hounds tried everything and pulled their netminder, but to no avail. Both goalkeepers had a .875 saving rate. Ty Slaney was the best player for the Ontario outfit as he scored both goals and was named 2nd Star after Fingers (2g/0a) and before D-man number ten of the Wild (0g/1a). The brothers showed a low profile in this match, here are their stats: Marcel: 0g, 0a, -1 and 24:50 minutes played (tied first together with his elder brother and Hall) Daniel: 0g, 0a, -1, 4 hits (top of the team) and 24:50 minutes on ice The rematch was lost 6-5 after shootout. In the first powerplay of the game, Daniel reacted fastest on Lospenov's rebound and buried the goal somehow. It certainly was not a pretty goal but one born out of determination. Still in the first period Daniel scored another powerplay goal a la Brigade when Berard relayed Marcel's pass with a one-touch play to the Hounds' number 11 who sneaked unobserved by the defence to the far post. The Hounds went with a 3-2 lead into the first intermission. Unfortunately, the Wild had three unanswered goal in the second period to make it 3-5 into the second break. Marcel then scored in powerplay with a big slapshot from the blue line which was screened perfectly by his elder brother. Bedard and Lospenov were the assistants on this goal. The game went into overtime, where neither team scored. In the shootout all Hounds missed their shots and so it was Vladovechsenkchushkin who saved the day for the Wild. The three stars were Fingers (2g/1a), Jankowski (1g/2a) and Daniel (2g/0a). The Hounds netminder showed a rather average game (.800) and was bested by the Wild goalkeeper in that respect (.821). The Mississaugan power play was surprisingly effective (5/8) whereas the penalty kill was sub standard (3/6). Marcel: 1g, 1a, -1, 3sb and 29:17 minutes on ice (first together with Daniel and Bedard) Daniel: 2g, 0a, -1, 3 hits and also 29:17 minutes played On the third match against the Bulls, the Hounds were never near of winning a point and were outclassed in all the important statistics: Shots (23 vs 52), powerplay (0% vs 80%), boxplay (20% vs 100%) and saving rate (.846 vs .913). To absolutely no-one's surprise all the spots in the lime light were taken by Houston players. Delle Donne (2g/1a), Elsby (1g/3a) and glove dropper (1g/2a) were named three stars of the night. Marcel: 0g, 1a, +0 (how?) and 24:33 minutes played Daniel: 0g, 1a, +0 (seriously, how?) and 24:33 TOI (tied first with Marcel, Bedard and Hall) The Hounds are now tenth of the league and last of their conference. Not all is bad though. If they are just a bit more lucky in the Wild games they could easily gotten 1-2 points more there and if the Bulls did not score 4 goals in powerplay situations, the game would be much tighter (4-2 was the score 5vs5). Here the stats for our Swiss Hitmen: Marcel: 21gp, 4g, 10a, 14pts, -2, 14 PIM, 10 hits, 49 sb, 1ppg Daniel: 21gp, 10g, 15a, 25pts, -2, 4 PIM, 47hits, 10sb, 1gwg, 4ppg https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109268-a-tale-of-two-brothers-in-dire-straits/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109294-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1st-quarter-done/

Hi Masu, Congrats to your first goal, may there be many more (not against the Hounds though). I really like the idea that you do your first graphic with something relatively simple (nothing wrong with that) yet original. The inclusion of dates and signature is cool and you put some effort in it to make it look real. 7.5/10

I like the fact that you listed the team members including the GM's. I wished though that you would have used the teams' colour rather than generic gold. Other than that very solid graphic 8/10.

Swiss Central Gazzette For once the frères suisses did not have a Canadian week and only played one game against the Aces since our last issue. Said game was won by the Hounds by the smallest of margins 3-2. The Jansers did not make it on the score board though Marcel came close when he only hit the post after his slapshot from the blue line at 17:26 minutes into the second period. He also took a minor for hooking. Luckily, the ensuing power play did not lead to a goal. Ty Slaney decided the game with his goal 1:11 into the third when he buried his own rebound. Overall the Hounds did a lot of things right. They dominated in shots (40 vs 25) and only conceded one goal out of four power play attempts. Their own power play remains lackluster (0/4). Both goaltenders showed a decent performance with Grubauer being slightly better (.925 vs .920). The three stars were made up entirely from Mississaugan players with LW 2 (0g/2a), Center 1 (1g/0a) and Slaney 1g/0a) which was the game winning goal. Please find the Swiss siblings' stats as per below: Marcel: 18gp, 3g, 8a, 11pts, +0, 14 PIM, 10 hits, 45sb Daniel: 18gp, 8g, 14a, 22pts, +0, 4 PIM, 39 hits, 10sb, 1 gwg, 2ppg After the first quarter now done, we want to draw a small summary. We rate the Hounds' Goaltending with a solid 7/10. The Hounds' net minder is hardly ever the reason for a loss and even steals games for his team or at least gives them a fighting chance. A little more consistency would be on our wishlist in this position. The Defence deserves in our opinion also 7/10. The Mississaugan franchised allowed 94 goals in 18 games (seventh in the league). This is certainly nothing to write home about, but it is better than can be expected from such a young D-line and we are confident, that the playmaking/transition game will improve when the players keep on getting used to the higher skill level in the VHLM. The Offence on the other hand is a little bit of an achilles heel on the roster. No doubt there is talent in that group of young players but they are not consistent enough in their efforts to create plays. They only scored 65 goals in 18 games (tenth of the league) and often games were lost due to lack of production and the sub-par power play efficiency. Again, we recognize that there is a lot of potential in the team and that Dan focuses on his defense play (though he showed some scoring skills so far). All in all we rate the Offence at 5/10. We will follow up on our local heroes in our next issue. Stay tuned...

1. So far this season how do you think the team has performed? as to be expected with a complete rebuild and a new manager, there will always be teething problems. 2. How has your player done so far? better than I expected. He is scoring on a regular basis despite being a grinder/two-way forward and helps the team out defensively by checking a lot. 3. Who is your favorite opponent to play during the season? I am on the fence here between Halifax and the Marauders 4. What is your end goal for the time you will spend in the vhl? Win a cup, play for Switzerland, maybe win one or several individual trophy and one can always daydream about the HOF... 5. The NHL is in its preseason, what team is your favorite? If you don’t watch the NHL what kind of hockey do you prefer to watch? I do not watch the NHL due to the time zones, but the Penguins are my favourite team since the nineties and the Preds I follow due to Roman Josi playing there. 6. What’s something small but can affect you in a big way during the day? A smile from my kids

Swiss Central Gazzette Since we last reported on the Janser brothers, their team added an other two losses to their tally. The Hounds had to face the Storm and the Houston Bulls. The first game against the Storm was a close one with a final score of 4-3. The Hounds tied the first period and won the third with one goal advantage, however conceded the second period with 3-1. It was one of the few games were neither of the brothers shone be it defensively or offensively. The only event of not was that Marcel took a minor penalty for holding, which unfortunately resulted in a power play goal for the US team. Apart from that Dan and his younger sibling had +0 each, 0 points and 26:25 minutes (Dan) as well as 23:16 minutes (Marcel) on ice respectively. Three stars were Minnesota's RW number 5 (2g/0a), Hard (0g/2a) and Missisauga D-man number 3 (1g/0a). The Hounds' netminder outperformed Blanchette yet again (.909 vs .885) but due to the meagre offensive attempts of his team mates (26 vs 44 shots) this was not enough to take points home. The Hounds' powerplay was underwhelming (1/5) and the penalty kill was around average (4/6). The second match was lost 6-4 against the Bulls. The game was conceded in the first three minutes of the first period, when Mississauga allowed three consecutive goals. They were not able to bounce back from this shock. Daniel had one assist in a breakaway to Lospenov 17:19 minutes into the second period and another one in a power play 2:02 into the third. The latter is noteworthy as it was a textbook play where Marcel faked a shot from the point, passed to Dan, who let lose a one timer and Bedard buried the reacted first on the rebound and buried the puck. Brigade-power at its best. Two minutes before the final horn Daniel scored a goal on a two-on-one rush when Bedard sucked up a lose puck and passed to the Swiss native. Dan had no problems to pull Hroch out of his crease and then lifted the puck backhand above his former team-mates' blocker. The three stars were Daniel (1g/2a), Miglaskems (2g/0a) and Godlander (1g/1a). The shots this time were almost equal (35 vs 37 in the Hounds' favour), but the netminder was this time significantly weaker than his opposing number (.829 vs .892). For once the Hounds power play was adequate (2/7) where as the penalty kill was sub par (3/6). Marcel had 0g/1a, +0 and 25:41 minutes on ice (tied best with Bedard and Daniel) Daniel had the aforementioned 1g/2a, +0, 3 hits (tied first with two others) and of course 25:41 minutes on ice Daniel was interviewed after he received his first first star award. Daniel: 'Of course I am thrilled and honoured to be named man of the match. It is just a bitter-sweet success as our team lost a game we could have and should have won. It is a pity we slept the first five minutes of the game, otherwise we may have taken a point or two home. We need to be cleverer and ready from the first face-off if we want to reach the playoffs let alone get into the second round.' The stats for the Jansers as follows: Marcel: 17gp, 3g, 8a, 11pts, +0, 12 PIM, 9 hits, 44sb Daniel: 17gp, 8g, 14a, 22pts, +0, 4 PIM, 36 hits, 10sb, 1gwg, 2ppg to be continued... https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109267-a-tale-of-two-brothers-business-as-usual/ @Greg_Di

Swiss Central Gazzette Our 'Swiss Hitmen' were facing two very difficult opponents in the last matches: the Mexico City Kings and the Minnesota Storm. Not entirely surprising, the games were lost. In the first match up against the US-based team, the Hounds lost 6-2. Mississaugan highlights were few and far in between, however they managed to draw the first period 0-0, which can be interpreted as a success, considering how quickly they allowed goals in the last matches. Unfortunately the second period was lost 5-0 and the Hounds were not able to recover from that disadvantage (albeit the third period was theirs with 2-1). Again, the Canadian franchise was heavily outgunned (15 vs 41 attempts) and this did certainly not help them. What put even more rocks in the Hounds' way to success was the abysmal performance of the special teams. The Hounds had nine! opportunities in power play and only converted once, whereas the Storm took full advantage of the two opportunities given to them (2/2). he Mississaugan netminder cannot be envied as his performance was almost on par with Blanchette's (.854 vs .867). The only highlight reel worthy scene for the Hounds was when Lospenov buried the puck after a textbook transition play involving Daniel and Bedard as his assistants. As it is to be expected on such a one-sided match, all three stars went to Minnesota. Kiprusoff (3g/0a), Bonds (0g/4a) and Hagstrom (0g/2a) took the place of honour. Marcel had 0g/0a, -1 and also 24:03 minutes on ice Daniel had 0g/1a, -1 and 24:03 minutes TOI (second of the team with Marcel and Bedard) The second match against the most southern team of the league was a conceded 4-3. In this match up, the Kings scored first and went with a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. The second period was balance with two goals each and the third period was won be the Hounds 1-0. Daniel was involved in the only goal in the last period, where we could witness one of these precise set-up we have grown accustomed to see from him. The special teams were better than in the Storm match with 6/8 on the penalty kill and 1/2 on the power play. The Hounds' netminder was marginally better than his opposite number (.892 vs .889) but faced more shots (37 vs 27) and therefore was not able to win the game for his team mates. The three stars this night were made up from Avens (1g/2a) with the game winner in power play, Stonebridge (2g/0a) and Hounds' number 6 (1g/0a). Marcel increased his sin-bin time from 4 minutes so far to 10 minutes (3 minors for roughing and hooking (2x)). None of the penalties lead to a goal, though. Marcel had 0g/0a, -1, 6 PIM Daniel logged 0g/1a, -1 and 27:47 minutes on ice (first of the team with Bedard and Hall) With these two losses the team is now for the first time in 15 games out of the playoff run with the fifth place in the conference and ninth in the league. This newspaper does believe that the team can succeed though, considering that it is a very young and yet inexperienced roster, which will improve significantly during the season. Especially the Janser brothers seem to get better and better with every match played. Despite that their team has a -27 goal difference, the Jansers managed to get a +0 on the +/- rating. Marcel is the player who blocked the second most shots in the league only beaten by a defender who is in his forth VHLM season. When Jean-Luc Lieuxperroux asked the assistant coach how he rates our Dynamic Duo he replied: 'Dan and Marcel are our two best defense players and amongst the best skaters (Bedard also shows a natural talent for skating, interestingly all three played for the Brigade, where apparently a lot of emphasis was put on this aspect). Daniel and Bedard are probably our best players with the puck, but Dan is also the weakest forward when it comes to score goals. However, we are assigning him additional shooting drills so that will improve over time. Marcel is the most disciplined player (no wonder after the dressing down he received from his elder brother after the second match for the Brigade). Dan also shows a lot of leadership and takes responsibilities beyond his age.' Please find updated stats for the brothers as follows: Marcel: 15gp, 3g, 7a, 10pts, +0, 10 PIM, 9 hits, 41sb Daniel: 15gp, 7g, 12a, 19pts, +0, 4 PIM, 32 hits, 9sb Here some related articles for your reading pleasure: https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109209-a-tale-of-two-brothers-silver-linings/ @Greg_Di and another one...

Swiss Central Gazzette The Jansers played two more games in the VHLM. Please find our summary below. The first match was against last years co-finalist the Miami Marauders. Apparently the team had followed the advice from our last issue and shot from every possible angle in an effort to best the Marauders' goaltender. The match was a close one and ended 4-3 for the Hounds. The Miami outfit scored first with only 0:11 minutes into the game. It was not only their first goal in the game, it was also Jeremy D's first goal of the season. Seven minutes later the Hounds equalized, when Hall let lose a slapper from the blueline after Marcel dished the puck with a saucer pass on his line mate's tape. Forty seconds later, Daniel scored a goal with a sweet mid-air deflection of Lospenov's stray shot. In the second period, the Hounds' number 11 steamrolled along the boards and passed back to Lospenov in the high slot, who buried the puck topshelf. At the end of the game the Marauders pulled the goalie in a desperate attempt to score the equalizer, but it was too little, too late and the Hounds claimed the two points for themselves. It is rare that the better goalkeeper loses a game, but the Marauders' last man had a .900 save percentage while his opposite number stopped only .813 of the shots fired at him. Due to the Mississaugan's massive offensive effort, this was just good enough this time. Also the Hounds' power play was ineffective (0/5) while the penalty kill was okay-ish (2/3). The three stars of the game were Jeremy D (3g/0, way to pop a goal cherry with a hattrick), Lospenov (1g/2a) and Hall (1g/0p). Marcel had 0g/1a, +1, 5 shots (second of his team), 2 shots blocked (top of the team) and 24:07 minutes on ice (shared first with Daniel, Hall and Bedard) Daniel had 1g/1a, +1, 4 shots and also 24:07 minutes played It is unfortunate that after a successful game, the next match was against one of the best teams in the league, the Lynxes. The game was lost 9-3 and was already decided after the first period (5-1). Towbaker and Buzzer had a field day with the Hounds' defense and scored at will. The brothers co-produced the 1-1 equalizer with Marcel scoring a wrap-around goal on Daniel's pass. After this temporary sliver of hope, the game went downhill for the Mississauga team. The Lynxes replied with 5 unanswered goals and nursed the game home. It may not come as a surprise that all the spots in the lime light were taken by Ottawa players. Buzzer (2g3a), Towbaker (3g/2a) and Blugers (1g/2a) hogged the podium. The Hounds' power play was okay-ish (1/6) and the penalty killing a tad was worse than last match (3/5). Red Menace had a .833 which is below his average but the Mississauga netminder went even .769 and was for once not the support the Hounds needed. Marcel logged 1g/0a, +0 rating and 25:39 minutes of ice time (joined first with his brother) Daniel had 0g/1a, +0 and 25:39 minutes TOI as well. The brothers stats so far as follows: Marcel: 13gp, 3g, 7a, 10pts, +2, 4pim, 8hits, 36sb Daniel: 13gp, 7g, 10a, 17pts, +2, 4pim, 29hits, 9sb, 1gwg, 2ppg Please do not miss our other related articles, as per below. https://vhlforum.com/topic/107887-marcel-jansers-junior-review/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/107696-daniel-jansers-start-into-hockey/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108027-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108060-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-warriors/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108079-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette-brigade-royals/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108142-a-story-of-two-brothers-game-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108217-a-story-of-two-brothers-games-11-and-12-review-in-the-swiss-central-gazette/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108484-a-story-of-two-brothers-its-crunch-time/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108576-a-tale-of-two-brothers-draft-day/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/108998-a-tale-of-two-brothers-first-games-in-the-vhlm/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109026-a-tale-of-two-brothers-the-odyssee-continues/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109055-a-tale-of-two-brothers-choppy-sailing/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109087-a-tale-of-two-brothers-lost-at-sea/ https://vhlforum.com/topic/109185-a-tale-of-two-brothers-a-rocking-boat/ @Greg_Di fresh from the press... enjoy
