Houston is on FIRE!!!

[AJW 2,194]

As the season stretches along and playoffs get closer and closer, the Houston Bulls have been on fire! Everything myself and Triller have done throughout the season to build this team seems to be paying off. Not only are we doing well as a team, but our players are racking up the points too. The Bulls are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games while on a 5 game win streak:

 

(5) Mississauga 4-2 W

(2) Ottawa 3-2 SOW

(6) San Diego 2-1 W

(9) Philadelphia 3-2 SOW

(1) Mexico City 2-1 L

(3) Miami 5-0 W

(9) Philadelphia 3-2 W

(1) Mexico 5-1 W

(2) Ottawa 3-2 W

(8) Las Vegas 5-0 W

 

It looks like Houston can compete with anyone in the league at this point. This was our goal for trade deadline and we crushed it. With the addition of Merome Dilson between the pipes, we have been definitely considered a Cup Contending team. Houston has only allowed 14 goals against in the last ten games and I can give full credit to Dilson. It is really exciting to see Houston performing so well after the past two seasons of rebuilding. We have been around the middle of the pack all season, bumping heads with San Diego and Mississauaga the whole way. To now be 9 points behind first places with enough games to reach them it very exciting. I really do not care where Houston finishes since the to top 6 in the league are all well built teams and we will have to face at least one of them before the finals. But, like I said I do believe Houston can compete with everyone and it starts with the players we have on our squad. It took a while to build this team over the past three seasons, but here is the TPA of our roster this season:

 

Marchand (200)

Panarella (200)

Gaming (185)

dingyouup (180)

Dre (178)

Carlson (148)

Barbaslov (103)

 

Bob (200)

Krishna (182)

Slater (153)

Jones (125)

 

Dilson (200)

Barclay (91)

 

This is hands down the best roster I have created since the dream team in S84 that caused us to rebuild hard. I am proud to have built this roster without damaging my team's future like I did three seasons ago. I am also proud of how many active members are on Houston this season. This is the most active our discord locker room has been which results in us having a lot of active earners. We have had players this season improve insanely fast, like for example Legacy Gaming went from a 102 TPE build at the draft to a 185 TPE before playoffs even started. Liv Slater and Alex Carlson have been our waiver gods, both surpassing 150 TPE before being drafted to the VHLM. There are a lot of positives that this season has brought and I really hope Houston can continue this success through the playoffs. The rest of our schedule looks to be challenging, with a lot of .500+ teams in the way, but I am excited to see how the rest of S87 goes!

Hard not to root for this team!

Great article, really enjoyed reading this one. I'm probably biased since it's about our team! Can't wait to see how the Bulls continue to play
