Sergey’s Success

 

 

It’s been a while since we’ve heard about the trade deadline acquisition center, Sergey Preobrazhensky. But it’s worth noting that he’s not gone quiet. Since Sergey’s departure from Moscow, he’s seen much more success on the ice, looking more flawless and comfortable on the ice. As of now, Sergey has been putting up unprecedented numbers in such a short time,  putting up 58 points in just 40 games with the Wolves. In contrast with Moscow’s 31 points in 30 games, you can see that all Sergey needed was a new place to call home. 

 

Not only has Sergey done well in Vancouver, but his whole team has as well. All of a sudden, Vancouver started making enormous gains in the North American Conference. Eventually settling in with the top wild card spot for their conference. Vancouver would go onto face a lower ranked Seattle team that was a team still on the prowl. With well renowned stars such as Hulk Hogan 2 on offense and Tavish DeGroot on defense, this was a team still capable of hurting the Wolves if they took their gas off the pedal. But in the end, Vancouver breezed right through the competition with ease sweeping the devastated Seattle team. Sergey and his teammates knew what was at stake and made sure to kill any thoughts about Seattle winning this series. 

 

But the challenge was only getting started, next up the Vancouver Wolves would have to face a much more feared opponent, the Calgary Wranglers. Coming in as the number one seed, this Calgary team has arguably been the best team we’ve seen in the regular season. Vancouver’s player’s knew that they were going to be facing an uphill battle. Although many games have gone down to the wire, Vancouver still seems to keep stride. Taking a commanding 3-1 series lead up until now. All Vancouver needs now is one more win to send Calgary packing and be one step closer to winning the Continental Cup. 

 

After winning 4-3 in Game 4 of the series with Calgary, Sergey sat down to answer some questions. 

 

Reporter: “Sergey, it’s been a pleasure to watch you play with this Vancouver team, with crazy numbers in offensive production, what changed when you got here to Vancouver?” 

 

Sergey: “To be completely fair with you, I don’t know what changed when I got to Vancouver. I guess just having a clean slate with a new team really changed my perspective for the better.”

 

Reporter: “You got on more games until you knock out one of the favorites to win it all, what will be a key to success for you guys to win this series?”

 

Sergey: “We just have to remember to keep on playing with the same intensity we have had all series long. The finish line is right there, we just have to make sure we finish strong.

 

Reporter: “How great would it be to face Moscow in the finals?”

 

Sergey: “I’m not going to lie, it would be pretty sweet to face Moscow in the finals. Just that thought of beating your former team gives me goosebumps. But right now we still have a lot on our plate with Vancouver and furthermore, facing the winners of D.C vs Chicago. So there are still ways to go before we talk about the final battle.

 

There you have it, Vancouver has been on a tear so far within the playoffs. But can Sergey and his team keep the good times rolling? Only time will tell.
