Bogatyrev Frustrated by Seattle’s Inconsistency

It hasn’t been the start to the season for the Seattle Bears that many expected. After the management made some ambitious moves during the summer, acquiring star defencemen Tavish DeGroot and Alessandro Nano, many predicted that the Bears should be eyeing a playoff berth.

 

However, the Seattle Bears’ season has been marked by inconsistency. After a slow start, the Bears went on a 5-game winning streak to launch themselves from seventh to fourth in the North American Conference. However, the Bears have since gone on a strange run of winning two games in a row, only to then lose another two on the bounce.

 

The Bears dropped a pair of games against the Helsinki Titans, and rookie forward Yaroslav Bogatyrev spoke out about the frustration many on the team are currently experiencing.

 

“It’s been a strange run. I don’t think anyone expected us to struggle this badly. We’re having a really hard time generating offence. We’re not scoring many goals. Yes, we play a defensive system, but sometimes that’s failing us in games as well. We really need to find a way out of this as a third of the season has already passed and we’re treading water,” Bogatyrev said.

 

The rookie forward has just 11 points through 23 games, and said that he had to be better.

 

“Our line for whatever reason isn’t working. We’re trying, but nothing seems to be going our way,” he said.
