Watchman struggle against Rome

[Scurvy 1,488]

Tough losses mounted up and the Bratislava Watchman’s season ended pre-maturely.  Watchman defenseman Brian Payne’s first season In the E ended with much regret that he didn’t perform to expectations come playoff time.  Coming into the playoff’s Payne worked extra hard to add TPE to some much-needed attributes and the gains had no effect on his play.  Actually, he seemed to play worse, if that’s possible.  

 

The bruising defenseman ended the playoffs with 1 goal 1 assist for 2 points in 5 games.  Much more was needed and expected from him especially in the physicality department.  He only had 8 hits in the 5 games, less than two a game.  With 71 TPE in checking and 76 in strength one would expect he would have better numbers in this department but Payne disappointed as Rome ran over the underrated Watchman.  

 

Payne told reporters that he was going to work hard this off-season to get TPE and re-brand his game once the reset happens.  Payne had a great time in the E and wanted to say thank you to his GM and AGM for all the help.

Payne's production this season really has been a mystery. But really he was one of our better performers in the playoffs, at least offensively. We just ran into a brick wall in @comrade cat. So hat's off to him for making us miserable, I suppose? Sometimes that's just how it goes. However with the dedication going into your player it's only a matter of time before the results start to come.
