[DollarAndADream 3,356]

After a dreaded loss in Game 7 against the Vancouver Wolves in the Conference Finals, Saku Kotkakoivu vowed to get better in the off-season. While it's likely that nobody will complain about his output in his rookie season, he definitely wants to up his game when he becomes a sophomore.

 

"I feel like I can be a lot better out there. Another goal or two from me in those Conference Finals, or even games in the regular season, and we could have won a bunch more. My game isn't up to speed as it should be." - Saku Kotkakoivu

 

Kotkakoivu had 8 points in 13 games in the post-season, and only 3 of those were goals. Saku takes a lot of pride in his goal scoring, and thinks he can do even better next season.

 

"I made a name for myself by scoring in other leagues, so I want to translate that to the VHL. It's obviously one of the best leagues in the world, so there are some adjustments that I can make to get where I want to be. This off-season, I've worked a lot on my skating as well. The speed of players in the VHL is off the charts, so I need to be able to keep up." - Saku Kotkakoivu
