Clankt 9 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Finishing the Fight Evaluating the Newest Rookies As the VHLM season winds down, the Oslo Storm and its rookies look forward to the playoffs. It is also an inevitable time for reflection as well. With only seven games left in the regular season, the Storm roster has four names on it with less than 25 games of experience. The newest trio of rookies, a German, a Latvian, and… an Android, have been a fairly productive squad for their new team. This should figure well for the Storm heading into the playoffs. Baumann scoring one of his two goals for the Storm during one of their recent games. The German, Til Baumann, has been with the team the longest. While his 16 games have seen him produce only five points, Baumann has been an effective player with and away from the puck. The lauded center has lived up to his reputation in the faceoff dot, winning 64.13% of his draws. This has only been helped since his move to the middle of the second line. His defensive abilities have also poked through as he has grabbed a couple of shot blocks and posted a plus 3 for his efforts. Unfortunately for the Storm, and Baumann’s ribs, his lack of physical play is also on display. Throwing only three hits while receiving 21 are sure to make for long session in the ice bath for Baumann. Overall, this free agency pickup seems to be a shrewd move by the Storm that should really bring some security and depth down the middle as Oslo marches towards the postseason. The next two claims on the list have a much smaller sample size to represent their play, but have shown some serious promise in each of their first three games for the Storm. Automated Ice Machine – 11 or AIM-11 for short, is an android converted from the components of an automatic ice dispenser by the Chinese Government for the sole purpose of playing ice hockey. What other intentions his creators had are unknown at this point, but what we do know is that three goals and one assist in three games shows that it is at least serious about playing some puck. Having thrown as many hits as he has taken and tallying one of the Storm’s seven shorthanded goals, AIM-11 will surely by an exciting unit to watch. Arthur Grosberg hails from Bauska, Latvia. The right wing has shown some superior playmaking ability, picking up three assists and a plus three rating in his first three games. Not a big shooter, and not many hits to his name, Grosberg has a small body of work to show for the rest of his game. If he continues to make the most of the minutes he is given, as he already has, we are sure to see a lot of interest in the newest member of the Storm.
