Lynx feast up in the first week (W1 Leaders)


Recommended Posts

I haven't done one of these in a few seasons now but what the heck I'll need an article for next week anyway.. Definitley the last thing I can provide for the team before I'm overworked 😅 With the same names but different players.. 

 

 

:ott: Best Even Strength Player 🌟

RW John @John CimarnoRichards #18

 

     It's been and up and down week for youngster John Richards after being shocked when his name called earlier than expected during the draft, making him have to be ready quicker and then after being named the new Ottawa Lynx leader it was clear Richards was ready to cover all areas.

In this stretch he stepped up to be a defender on the blueline, tried different linemates and spent almost every minute on the ice playing on every unit in every position, during this time John proved to be more than just a scorer and lead by example in every department even if he didn't have the highest totals on even strength chances.

 

Previous Winners (S81):

Vomacka x2, Coiner x2

Lajeunesse, Buzzer, Live

 

 

:ott: Best PP/PK Player 👽

RW Ben Dover #69

 

     Joining the team as the 4th San Diego Marlin to enter the locker room Ben Dover knew his role and quickly got to business, providing good locker room input and early earning.

During the week it wasn't any of the top guns to really make something happen on our powerplay and without the second unit which had Dover leading the way we may not have won a few games, shooting the most shots and having the most points to show the coaches that there's more stars on the team.

 

Previous Winners (S81):

Laperriere, Live, Hagstrom, Torq, Dvorak, Vomacka, Lajeunesse 

 

 

:ott: Team Workhorse 🐴

LW Sadie @sadie St-Louis #26

 

     Coming into the situation with one of the best builds on the team and plenty of activity to go with it early in the season.. We haven't really seen the high caliber offense we are used to seeing from Sadie St-Louis when it matters.

But with fans cheering her on and a team with full support that shouldn't be an issue, if Sadie had some more puck luck things would be different because she leads he team in shots and has about 33% of them so far.. Don't look at the shooting percentage though.

 

Previous Winners (S81):

Nugget x2

Dvorak, Torq, Buzzer, Vomacka, Live

 

 

:ott: Cleanest Player 🧼

RW Timothy @Timmy30Swearingen #55

 

     Signing with the team as a free agent just a few days after the draft.. Big forward Timothy Swearingen quickly got to business trying to soak in every bit of information and did his best to apply it on the ice as quick as possible.

After a slow start and a few line changes Swearingen rose up and made some big hits that eventually lead him to be part of a few timely goals later in the week but did it all without getting his hands dirty, spending zero minutes in the penalty box!
 

Previous Winners (S81):

Clarke x3

Live, LeBlanc, Laperriere, Hagstrom

 

 

:ott: Game Changer 📸
LW Cash @glass Aleksic #00

 

     Cash Aleksic has yet to send a message in the Lynx locker room so fingers crossed on that but they have already made a difference for us on the ice on many different place.

The brightest spot in Aleksic's game would be the ability to ride the wave and find spots to score whenever everyone else is tired out, scoring 3 game winners, a tying goal and a shootout gem it was easy to know who changed the game for us this week on many occasions while boosting their linemates in the process.

 

Previous Winners (S81):

Nu x2, Laperriere x2

Dvorak, Buzzer, Vomacka

 

 

:ott: Best Crease Effort 🥅
G Fuukka @Jubis Rask #40

 

     Oh boy we haven't had many games from our backup yet but the efforts put in from returning player Fuukka Rask was phenomenal and only helped frustrate the other teams as we went at them with no blueliners.

One game that stands out is the effort against the Philadelphia Reapers where Fuukka stopped 26 straight shots and kept us in it until the final score of 2-1, ending the night with a save percentage of .971 and 33 total saves.

 

Previous Winners (S81):

Nu x6

Wumbo
