No Cup hangover for the Wolves!

[VattghernCZ 978]

Sitting at the top of the standings with 7-0-1 record, the Wolves are not messing around. GM @Frank's offseason activity already looks like savvy moves and certainly is paying off.

 

Leading the team in goals (6) and points (14) is Nezuko @Baozi, an offseason free agent addition who was brought to try to replace Alexandre Leduc's @Lemorse7 production. Sergey Preobrazhensky @Bulduray_1, acquired last season from Moscow, and Svatopluk Puk @Otaznik, a 3rd-season Wolves forward, are tied for 2nd with 11 points. Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple (10 points) and Henry Eagles @Greg_Di (7 points) are both on track to set new career high in points. Rookie Wann Kerr is off to a solid, though not spectacular start, scoring a goal in his debut game and currently sitting on 2 goals and 4 points 

 

On blue line, the loss of Biggie Cheese @a_Ferk was always going to be huge. But Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito, the team's newly appointed captain, is having a special season with 10 points already, pushing the game forward like Biggie Cheese used to. Jimmy MacElroy @Xflexz is building on the confidence their rookie season gave them with a fantastic start. Jens Lekman @Bobcat, a rookie defender, already has a 2-goal game under their belt. Jens has been a prolific triggerman on every level so far, and it looks like the trend continues.

 

In the net, oh boy, what a season Brandt Fuhr @Tate is having. Save percentage north of .94 and sub 1.75 goals against average are inhuman numbers. The Wolves certainly need their goaltending to be atrong after losing Biggie Cheese, and so far Fuhr has more than delivered. We're yet to see rookie goaltender Jeremy Swayman @Agito starting a game. Even rhough everyone would like to see their newest face in the net, it's hard to justify sitting Fuhr right now.
