Galvins Cools Off

[Girts 889]

Last time we checked in on the Latvian sniper Girts Galvins he had 19 goals in 32 games and was top 3 in goal scoring in the entire league. He was on fire and looked to be on pace to overtake the VHLE scoring lead in the coming week. Welp that didn't happen and in fact we may have jinxed him because he only scored 6 goals in his next 20 games.., currently sitting at 25 goals through 52 games, dropping him to 15th in goal scoring in the league. The cold spells shatters any hopes Galvins had of winning the goal scoring title, but his team is playing well and that's what matters most, so he's happy about that. His personal goal now changes from leading the league in goals to leading his team in goals and finishing with 35 goals, which means he needs 10 goals in the final 20 games which seems achievable. We're not sure the exact reason for his sudden drop in goal scoring but rest assured he is working just as hard as always to find his scoring touch again. He also could be saving up his power for the playoffs where he unleashed hell last season for the Las Vegas Aces with 15 goals in 16 playoff games.

By now I think it's a proven fact that writing hype pieces about your player randomly jinxes them. FTI taught us all about that in the VHLM this season.

My best bet is on Simon being a bit of an asshat. Though the other part is clearly the PP changes that had to be made for the good of the team, which sadly had inverse impact on everyone's favorite Latvian sniper.
