Harumpf 313 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Harumpf Comes Alive!!! Oskars Haurmpf celebrates his 4th goal of the season. It's been a slow start for Harumpf so far in the VHLM. In 25 games he had just 4 points, but all of a sudden he has caught fire! In the last 2 games harumpf has 3 points! Nearly equalling his total from the first 25 games, he now has 7 points in 27 games. 3 of those have come on the powerplay, which is a testament to his offensive ability. Harumpf also had the first multi-point game of his career recently, when he put up 2 points, 1 goal, 1 assist against the Blades. The monumental game was really special for harumpf after working so hard since joining the league just a few weeks ago. It's a great feeling to see all that hard work come together and get results on the ice. So what can we attribute Harumpf's new found success to? There's a couple of things, but Skating and getting more ice time with quality players are probably the biggest 2 reasons. Harumpf has been working exclusively on his skating over the last week in an effort to get himself involved in the play more. The feeling was that skating speed would allow him to create more offense when he has the puck by getting separation. Also an increase in speed will have him more involved defensively and he'll be able to get to more loose pucks and generate scoring chances for his teammates. So far so good as Harumpf's 3 points in the last 2 games are a direct result of his improved skating ability and overall speed. When you're a smaller player in terms of height, you need to be fast to gain an edge over your opponents. Harumpf seems to have realized that and is now one of the faster skaters on Saskatoon. His speed and playmaking ability should be a big help to the team down the stretch. Harumpf has also benefited greatly from a move to the 2nd line center position. He's been paired with Hunter and Iginla. Both of these guys are great players. Iginla is a scorer and Hunter is a well rounded two way forward. Both are capable of generating offense and finishing on Harumpf's sweet set up passes. The line has been working hard in practice and improving every week, They are on the cusp of becoming a very effective line. As with all new lines, they will struggle to find consistency, but with roughly 15 games left in the season, they should be able to come together and get hot by the time playoffs roll around. The line is hungry and eager to put up points while helping Saskatoon try and win the division. Oskars Harumpf is finally starting to get it. He's finally realized what he needs to do in order to be an effective player in the VHLM. With this knowledge coupled with quality linemates, he could really take off down the stretch for the Wild. This would go a long way in helping them take over the division lead and set the tone for the playoffs. Watch out for Oskars Harumpf and his new found confidence on the ice. 532 words.
