Claimed:Brampton's Surprising Success

[grimmsterj 0]

The Brampton Blades are perhaps one of the most surprising successes of the minor league this year. They are currently 50-10-1 and have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. Brampton is led by Terrence Fong, and he thinks the Blades have a legitimate chance at going all the way.There are also talks around the league that Brampton doesn't deserve to be as high as they are, and maybe they don't. They have zero players with 200 TPE, and only two players with over 100. For the most part, the team is a bunch of rag tag rookies who are bonding together and making the best team in the VHLM. 

 

The two biggest keys to their success has been their two players with over 100 TPE. Lukas Nykvist and Tyrone Williams. This scoring duo has 342 points in their 61 games played. Tyrone has 116 goals and Lukas has 96 assists. The two tremendous players go together like peanut butter and jelly. Lukas is that delicious, nutty paste that knows how to make a play and Tyrone is the sweet lubricant that slides it into the back of that net(or the back of your throat if we are still talking about jelly.) These statistics are good enough to be the top forwards in the league. Tyrone is first in goals, shots, points, powerplay goals, game winning goals, and game tying goals for any player in the VHLM. He is an electric force that is a top contender for MVP this season. Then there is Nykvist who can score but gets most of his points through dishing it out to Tyrone. Nykvist is top of the league in plus/minus, assists, and points for a center. This dynamic duo also holds the honor of being the two most efficient scorers in the league. Tyrone scores 2.38 points per twenty minutes of ice time and Nykvist has a respectable 2.13. That is good enough for first and second in the league.

 

However, it takes more than two great players to make a team this great. Brampton also has depth scoring and a solid defensive core to backup a great goalie. Ikier Manushez has a 90% save percentage and is having a great regular season. Those stats aren't bad for a team with 5 defenders all below 60 TPE. As for the depth scoring, Brampton has the Backenbauer brothers. Hunter has 102 points and his brother, Hudson, has 117 points. They also have picked up several young rookies via the waiver wire. Bobby Ricky, Mikko Koskinen, and Emidas Blair are all new to the team and have already started making a big impact. 10 games and 14 assists in 32 games for Blair. Koskinen and Ricky don't have the stats but they have been great on both sides of the play. They have great potential and will be important to Brampton's playoff run if they want to go all the way. (Which they do )

Content: 3/3

491 words. A pretty solid article that went right to the point without dragging on too long. My only concern was the ending. I thought it could have been a more transitioned ending with a better closing sentence. Other than that and the appearance mark, this would have received full marks had you placed a title or a picture in there.

There wasn't anything done to spruce this up at all. No pictures, title, color, different fonts etc.

Overall: 5/6

Great look into the Brampton Blades. I agree with Slobo above, the ending could have been a lot better, and if it was it would have made this Media Spot even more enjoyable to read.

Looks like Slobo got them all. 

 

Appearance: .5/1

 

Atleast it wasn't a big block of text. I guess you split them up and made it okay to read, but next time adding color or something would make it nice. 

 

FINAL: 5.5/6
