Watch the Watchmen

[MetalToday 266]

INTRO

As the season comes to an end in the European Hockey League, the teams look to make big production in the playoffs. The wildcard positions are still up for grabs, but if things go as, it is the Vikings will go against the Iron Eagles, and the Gladiators would go against the Watchmen. As the watchmen stay in the 3^rd position it is no surprise that the team is very excited for the playoffs and the players mindsets are to make win the very first cup, but it is known the other teams are absolute beasts.

 

TOP SCORING

With the Watchman’s big players like Brozik, Carter, Nylen, and Blloyoiderson they have good top lines. If they continue to produce it could mean their playoff run may be long lasting and with the goaltending performance from Orion and Parise it will be a great run. The goalies have been splitting of games as they try to get the wins and the splits have been working well for a high scoring league. However, things are different in the playoffs, teams give it their all, teams stack their lines, and give more minutes to their top players and this could be a problem for the Watchmen with the lack of depth they have.

 

TOP DEFENCE

There are great defensive players as well, with Nylen, Eightnine, and Adams, the hits, and shots blocked stats are really good, its like they have no feeling in their bodies, goalies have more padding guys… These beasts could likely destroy and intimidate the other teams especially in the playoffs, but it is going to be hard to play if the Gladiators goaltending destroys the goal scorers like they did in the season.

 

UNIMPRESSIVE PLAYER

Although the Watchmen have a good team, there is one player expected to make much better production than he has been getting and that is Brendan Marner. His production is extremely low for a clear playoff team, with a measly 10 points in 66 games he is not expected to produce much more in the playoffs. Although his scoring is extremely low, his grinding skills have been alright, getting a decent amount of hits, but he is not high in any stats whatsoever. On one of the bottom lines, it is has not done much for him.

 

THE UPRISE

Brendan Marner has actually gone ahead and talked about his play in Europe, talking about how he thinks he can play better than he has been, but he just needs to get that extra push, as he has been training like crazy. His history has been good in the playoffs, he believes it will be a huge improvement again in these playoffs as well, he just needs the extra push by his teammates and management as he doesn’t think there is much belief in him than there should be, but he will prove the critics wrong. He expects to get more points in the playoffs than he got in this past season. I think this should be interesting to see if he can succeed with this bold prediction.

 

CONCLUSION

It will definitely be fun to Watch all of the top players on the Watchmen, and if the point streaks continue. It will be fun to watch the defensive play by the Watchmen, it is obvious that the mix of great offence and amazing defence is a great duo. The goaltending duo has been amazing and will be one great mix for the playoffs, you can trust them both, and they are able to 50/50 the games as one can always rest. Marner will be the story of the playoffs if he makes his bold prediction and could be a bigger story than the cup winner. But this will be a very interesting playoffs as every team wants to make it on the very first VHLE cup.

[Collusion 28]

That’s a nice breakdown of the team. The intro is well done and bring the subject. The top scorer paragraph you talked more about the goalies then the forward talking more about the offense and bring another paragraph to goalie would have been great. Except then that all the paragraph are well done and the paragraph title are clear. 8/10
