stoked to be facing you guys this round!!

Game Recap (Game 24: London United vs. Riga Reign): Although this was a low-scoring game with a score of 2-1 in favor of London, this was a wild one. London had 48 shots on goal and Riga had 38 despite only having three goals throughout the entire contest, and it was a battle of the goalies between Jesse Teno and Henry Tucker Jr.. Tucker Jr. was the reason the score was not more devastating, as London had three power plays in the first period and could not convert on any of them. Both teams were scoreless until the third period when Riga struck first with a goal from rising star Sadie St-Louis, but London soon answered with two of their own from Hari Singh Nalwa and Igor Molotov, taking Riga down in Game 3 of the series.

What a rookie campaign for everyone’s favorite Aussie netminder Lachlan Summers! As most of you may know, S88 was his first season as the starter of Davos, and although some may have doubted trading Booberry in the preseason, Lachlan has proved himself to be capable of holding his own in net as a full-time starter in the VHL. Lachlan finished the season with a 39-18-7 record, a 0.932SV%, 2.3 GAA, along with 4 shutouts. I am more than happy with these numbers, considering the expectations that Lachlan has to live up to with filling Booberry’s shoes, and his campaign this season has met my expectations and more. This puts him in the running for not only the Stolzschweiger Trophy (Rookie of the Year), but also the Shaw (Top Goaltender)! Ending the regular season: Lachlan was 3rd in wins, 1st in save percentage, 5th in GAA, and 6th in shutouts, so he has a solid chance at securing both of these awards, which I’m thrilled about. But in the end, my sights are set on the Continental Cup, since it’s been too long since the Cup has been brought back to the beautiful town of Davos. It's been an amazing season for the team overall and I'm grateful to contribute to Davos' success. Let’s go DAVID!

Game Review Malmo Nighthawks vs. Riga Reign (Game 396): What a WILD matchup between Malmo and Riga! You definitely don’t see teams go up by 4 goals early in the first like Malmo did (scored by Rex Wolffe Gregor, Saku Kotkakoivu x2, Yaroslav Trunov respectively) only to concede 7 goals in the next two periods (scored by James Marino, the Frenchman, Daniel Weaver, Sadie St-Louis, Daniel Clarke, Max Torq). Riga took Malmo’s early lead personally with all seven of their goals coming from unique goal scorers! They also proceeded to outshoot Malmo 54-34 in an absolute reverse domination. Both goalies Boris Tzesar and Henry Tucker Jr. had off games with each having a save percentage under .900.

No worries, Ahma!!

sounds good! i’ll get started on it as soon as i can

thank you AJ!! i’m always open to taking requests, did you want anything particular to be included in the graphic? and is the goalie one of the players on your team right now or just any bulls goalie in general?

Interviewer: “Hi, Lachlan! Thanks for taking some time out of your day to speak with us at the DBC before practice today. So, first of all… how are you feeling as the starting goaltender for Davos at this point in the season? Any nerves?” Lachlan Summers: “Nerves? No, I don’t have any. I like to think I’ve been under pressure my entire VHL career since starting out in the M and I’ve learned to live with it. I’ve been playing well, my teammates have been supporting me. What more could a goalie ask for?” I: “The EU is very competitive this season… Right now your team is sitting at 4th in the conference and living up to a Cup run is going to be hard to beat. How is the team preparing for this second half of the season?” LS: “We’re going to do exactly as we’ve done before— look over film, learn from our mistakes, and make some line changes along the way as needed. I always give 110% out there. Don’t want to be the reason the team is bogged down in any way." I: “You went 50/51 in saves against London a few days ago. How did you do it?” LS: “I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t paying attention to the shot counter on the jumbotron, so I hadn’t even realized until after the fact. Plus I was covered in a hell of a lot of bruises after the game, even more than in the alleged attack involving bananas in 2014. Reckon just honing in on my strengths was how I did it, plus some good defensive plays from my teammates’ part. I wouldn't have been able to do anything without them. It was a thrilling game, though. Props to my good friend Jesse at the other end of the ice for playing their tail off, too.” I: “Thanks for your time again, Lachlan! Good luck with the remainder of the season and the DBC will be sure to catch up with you again soon.” LS: “Thanks, appreciate it.”

A lot has happened this offseason for Davos, to say the least. We lost some key pieces to our cup run last season in veterans Siyan Yasilievich and Xavier Booberry, marking a new era for Dynamo— and with Booberry’s departure means Lachlan would finally be getting his time to shine as the starting goalie in his place. First off, that is a lot to live up to. Booberry is a certain first-ballot hall of famer and after his fantastic season with Davos in S87, there will be some big shoes to fill, but Lachlan is the perfect player for that job, especially after he went 7-0-1 himself. It’s a small sample size but surely a preview for what’s to come for the rest of his career. It’s a lot of pressure, yes, but since joining the league, I have been max earning since my second week and worked my ass off for this opportunity, for the lack of a better term. Hell, I’ve even been given the honor of being AGM for this amazing club and want to be a positive force in the organization and the locker room! Although Davos has been in a slump lately, I know that we will make the corrections to get back to our winning ways. As of Sunday, April 16th, Lachlan is 10-7-1, with a .934SV%, 2.09 GAA, and a shutout to his name. While it isn’t as flashy as his first season, he is still eligible and a contender for the Stolzschweiger Trophy for S88 since goalies are still considered rookies if they played less than 16 games in their first season. I’m just going to hope that the sim engine doesn’t screw up my plans to take over the VHL in the form of dominating every other team in net. Praise be to Simon.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND Congrats VLG!!
