Inflection Point For Istanbul

[Brandon 426]

 

 

With only 20 games left in the season, and four playoff spots to be up for grabs, the VHLE is looking competitive as ever. At least for Istanbul, who is sitting 5th in the standings and 3 points back from the Geneva Rush for the 4th and final playoff spot. As the final stretch begins, Istanbul is looking to up their pace with all of the training that they have been putting in behind the scenes. What it comes down to is execution, and we will see how the final games play out. Whether or not Istanbul gets a playoff spot is entirely up to them, as they play Geneva in 8 out of their last 20 games. These 8 games will have a drastic effect on the standings, so each team will be looking to perform their best and take the game with a win in regulation. While Geneva has found tremendous success in both their top 2 lines, led by Eldon Escobar @TeeJay11 and Bob Chicoine @PoignardLeclerc11 who have both been lighting up the league. Istanbul has struggled to find consistent secondary scoring in their forward lines behind Connor Wilson @LeBron Jamezz for most of the season. Although that narrative may be changing with Jason Argos @Insypher and Landon Wolanin @jacobcarson877 who have both picked up their offensive play tremendously in the last 20 games, putting the game on their stick and taking over games at times.
