Interview with Molly the Cat, Morning before game 38

[JCarson 805]

Molly the Cat, as of game 37 in the season you are sitting with 37 points, 17 goals and 20 assists. How are you feeling about the season so far?  

 

I am having a much different season than last year; I had set a season goal of 50 points with 20 of them being goals and halfway through the season I am 3 goals and 13 points short of the target. That is surprisingly good. On top of that I am second in rookie points only behind by 1. In addition, I am playing a strong defensive game and that has left me tied for 3rd in +/-. I am really looking forward to what the second half of the season will bring. 

 

Molly the Cat, I want to ask you about your teammates. Which of your teammates have you connected with the most? 

 

The entire team is a great bunch of people. The banter in the locker room is always upbeat and encouraging. As you know there are always a couple of people you connect more with. For me that is Ivan and Jerome. I feel that I can talk with Ivan about what it is like to be a rookie, pushing to make a first impression, the struggles of a new team and a new situation. He was just there last season so it is fresh in his mind. Jerome on the other hand is a seasoned veteran, to be able to discuss the difficulties of a team, building a career and having someone that can put a bad game into perspective. That type of leadership is invaluable for a rebuilding team like London United. 

 

Molly the Cat, I am going to ask you to make a prediction. Does the London United make the season 85 playoffs and do you beat your first-round opponents? 

 

I think that the London United has a great chance of making the season 85 playoffs. The First-round of these playoffs is going to be a tough fought affair. There are so many great teams in the VHL that I do not expect that any team believes it to be a guaranteed path to round 2. Any team that makes the playoffs has the chance to win, the is the great thing about the VHL. The competition is tremendous. No matter what happens the fans of the VHL are going to see some great hockey. 

 

Molly the Cat, tonight's game is against the Calgary Wranglers and your friend Landon Wolanin. How do you think London will do? 

 

I am looking forward to seeing Landon again, I am going to be taking him out for lunch a little later and we will catch up. As for the game we will both be pushing as hard as possible. Both teams are pushing to keep their playoff spot against some fierce competition. I expect it will be a close game and it would be nice if London came up on top for this one. Currently they are leading the season series 2-1 so it would be nice to even that up. I do have to note that it is nice to see that Landon has been picking up his production, he had a slow start but has really picked up the pace in the last few games.

Review:

 

Very nice insight into Molly the Cat’s season so far. Done in interview form, we get a glimpse into the personality of the player and see some of the connections he’s made off the ice.

 

For Media Spots, I always expect at least a Title and one picture, so that is something that would help the presentation. A flash of colour never hurts either.

 

Otherwise, the italics from the questions differentiate the answers, which is great and the content itself was entertaining. Great job and good luck on the rest of your rookie campaign! Too bad you’re going to lose to use tonight though   @JCarson
