The Bobs legacy, the sequel Ep.2 (Beginning of the season)

[Baby Boomer 753]

Welcome everyone, 

 

We are back for a second episode of the series: « The Bobs legacy, the sequel ». In this episode, we will talk about the beginning of the Bulls and Bobby’s first beginning of the season in the VHLM. The Houston Bulls had an amazing draft a couple of days ago and now they are set to go, and nothing will stop them from winning the Cup this season.  

 

For the first simulation of the regular season, the Bulls were playing against the Mississauga Hounds and the Philadelphia Reapers. The first game against Mississauga was going to be a difficult one. Indeed, the Hounds are a really good team and the game ended in overtime with the first goal in the regular season of antonio marchand@Tapirman and the first assist of the season of Bobby Bob. The Bulls won the 3-2 and Bobby finished the game with one assist and a differential of +1. The game against the Reapers also was supposed to be a close game and it was the case. This time opponents of the Bulls won the game 6-4 and Bob had an assist again but finished –3. 

 

After the first two games, the Houston Bulls went on to lose the next four games against the San Diego Marlins (3-2), the Miami Marauders (2-1), the Mexico City Kings (3-2) and the Las Vegas Aces (5-4 OT). In all those games, not only Houston lost only by one goal, but they also completely outshouted the other teams. The team management was really not happy about the performances of the goalie and after only six games into the regular season the GM @AJW and his AGM @Triller, released their goalie Maius Wagner to sign a younger and better one. The new goalie, Gage Barclay @Waffleboard39, was going to be in the net for the next two games. 

 

With only one win in their first six games of the season, the Bulls made some changes and now, with a new goalie and new lines, they are ready to start winning and they did just that. Indeed, Houston won the next game 4-3 in overtime against the Halifax 21st and Barclay saved 27 of the 30 shots he faced. Bobby had his fifth assists of the season and finished the game with a +0. The second game of the “new era” also finished in overtime, but this time the Mexico City Kings won the game 6-5. The changes are continuing to work, because the Bulls won their next two games 2-1 and 7-4 against the Lynx and the Reapers respectively. 

 

For its part, Bobby Bob, just like the team in general, had a really slow start of the season. Indeed, Bob only has one goal and six assists for a total of seven points in ten games and a differential of –1. Even if the team does not have the best beginning of the season, just like AJ, the GM of the team, said: “last season in the VHLE Oslo was at the bottom of the standings to start the season and then they won the cup”. So, everything is possible, and we just need to keep up with the good work.
