A tale of two Brothers // playoffs in sight

[Daniel Janser 2,165]

Swiss Central Gazzette (Marcel's stats/Daniel's stats)

 

It has been a while since we last reported from our Swiss hockey exports, for which we would like to apologize to our trusty readership.

 

We will fast forward to the actual state of affairs with Vasteras and Calgary as well as the individual efforts of the Janser brothers.

 

 

Marcel's Iron Eagles are out of the playoff race for good for a while now, but still achieve the one or the other upset. Marcel is 5th in scoring for his team, leads the league in blocked shots and is on track for a 53 point season. Not bad for a defence first defenceman. He scored the most gamewinners for his team with four of his eight goals being decisive. The younger Janser is also a rare guest in the sin bin with only 35 PIM served, with only one fighting major (which he lost). On the other hand his +/- is the worst of his team with -43 and his shot accuracy of 6.67% could certainly do with some improvement. To end our summary on a positive note, Marcel was elected into the three stars four times this season.

 

Here are his stats for this season so far:

 

64gp, 8g, 39a, 47pts, -43, 35 PIM, 32 hits, 179sb, 4gwg, 5ppg

 

 

Daniel's Wranglers are on track to make the post season, sitting firmly on third seed of the NA conference. Daniel is the second weakest scorer in his team with 66 points in 64 games. Alas, the Wranglers can rely on many shoulders to do the heavy lifting and to have a point per game as a rookie two-way-center is no small achievement. The elder Janser brother also tucks in when it comes to physical play and stands proud at 182 hits (4th of the team) and 104 PIM served (also 4th). A good deal of this penalties were fighting majors and only Owen Taylor got involved more in fights than the feisty Swiss. His fighting record is balanced with a win, a loss and six ties. His +/- of  +40 is amongst the top twenty of the league. He was voted in the three stars eight times (twice for first star) and his 54.15% success rate at the hash marks puts him 16th of the league (only player with at least 2000 face offs taken are considered for this purpose). On the downside his marksmanship could use some work, as only 11.06% of his shots find the back of the net and only one of his 22 goals was decisive.  Of course, he always strives to do better in all aspects, as he sees himself as one of the the franchise players of the Calgary teams to come.

 

Here are Daniel's stats in summary:

 

64gp, 22g, 44a, 66pts, +40, 104 PIM, 182 hits, 32sb, 1gwg, 1ppg, 54.15 FO%

 

Of course we will further update on the brother's journey to glory on foreign ice. Marcel will likely spend an other season in the VHLE and be a staple in the Vasteras defence core to hone his skills. Daniel may well become a center piece of a soft rebuild in Calgary as the team has eclipsed its zenith with Perry and Klamasteris retiring after this season and other veterans due to retire after next season (Vaughn, Johnson and Eagles).

You didn't have to do him dirty like that.

He would be the first one to admit it himself.... having said that, he has not invested in Scoring (which was a build choice of his) so one cannot be surprised that he is not an elite marksman.... and he was always unlucky sofar with the teams he played in, as they were often the bottomfeeder teams and got scored against a lot, hence his +/- stats...

I know, I know. but that "is the worst of his team"... if that's not brotherly love. I don't know what is.

 

nobody would be checking if he was the worst of Vasteras if you hadn't said it
