Upset in Bratislava

 

The end of the VHLE season wrapped up this past weekend, with many of the top teams still jostling for a top-spot. The Watchmen had lost quite a few games toward the end of the season, which cut their comfortable point lead in the standings, mixing them up in the bunch of teams vying for a spot. With their status as a playoff team resting on 1 last game, the Watchmen were not able to pull through and ultimately lost the game and their playoff spot, despite having 91 points and going 43-24-5. We tried to speak with Cadmael Ixazaluoh, however he was not available for comment as he was "not present at the arena" at the time for the press interview. An independent reporter has come forward with information that Ixazaluoh was seen leaving the arena immediately after the game finished. The reporter noted that he was: "very clearly shaken by the loss and not in a good state of mind"

 

By no means did Ixazaluoh shirk on his responsibility for the team, coming out 10th in points for the VHLE with 96 points, 2nd in assists with 83, 6th in shots blocked with 188 and most notably, the most minutes played among any player this season with 2277 minutes or just under 38 hours of game time. To say that the Guatemalan defenseman was leaned on to support the D-core of Bratislava, would be an understatement. This is speculation from this reporter, but the young phenom may be feeling some sort of guilt about his performance, despite the numbers saying otherwise. Bratislava is obviously not feeling too well after this loss, especially after the performance this past season. A New Year spells new opportunities though, and there is no doubt that everyone involved is looking forward to the future.
