Galvins through 16

[Girts 845]

Bratislava Watchmen rookie Girts Galvins is off to a great start in his VHLE career scoring 8 goals and adding 10 assists for 18 points in his first 16 games! He leads the Watchmen with 5 powerplay goals and 10 powerplay points as well. It's been a hot start for the young Latvian sniper so far this season in Bratislava. The Alternate Captain has seen his team play well with a 9-5-2 record and as recently as 2 days ago were in 1st place in the conference and tied for first in the league. They've dropped 3 of their last 4 games so have hit a small bump but will be back on top soon no question about it. Their 20 points are still good for 3rd best in the VHLE. Galvins has made good on his 12th overall draft status and the Watchmen are no doubt pleased with the selection. He's been loading up on shots all season, Galvins currently leads the entire VHLE with 119 shots on goal! His shooting % is oddly low at just 6.72% so he should probably have a few more goals but have to expect that number comes up to around 10% or higher by seasons end. Galvins has been doing his damage from the 2nd line and 1st powerplay unit, which shows the depth of this Bratislava squad, they will be hard to beat in the playoffs and a tough match up for anyone over the course of the regular season. Watchmen defenseman Bo Johansson was recently quoted as saying "The Board Game Clue on Skates better keep his head up next time we play Oslo because I plan on knocking his game pieces out." Should be a good one next time those two teams meet up!

Sources say that The Board Game Clue on Skates' shape and the fact that it is an inanimate object makes it a pretty good target to rack up hits on. Considering it's not exactly like it's going to dodge them. As can be seen by it being near the top of the leaderboard for hits taken. Being the gentle giant that he is, it remains to be seen if Bo will take advantage. Or if he will leave that to Mr. Buzzer and Mr. Payne.

Our team is sitting on a slightly sus 8.4% Shooting percentage. So there are a fair few people being robbed for now. Hopefully the floodgates open soon enough and we'll get into the 10s as a group, no doubt lead by a certain Latvian Sniper on the score sheet. Hopefully Bo and "The Payne Train" @Scurvy can finally actually score 5v5 as well. Because if we're in 3rd while being Simon:d offensively, then we should be lethal once the goals start coming.

Boardgames on skates historically have created a wide horizontal target for open ice hits while being harder to make contact with in the corners due to their thin vertical nature. If 'The Board Game Clue on Skates' was smart he'd try and not carry the puck through the neutral zone against Beardislava.

It appeares the Rush GM heard of our evils plans and benched the board game for almost our entire game as a safety precaution. Bold move!
