Stras Showing Class

[Phil 5,111]

The regular season is winding down and the dust is settling on another season for Strasmore. As he looks towards winning his first playoff series, he reflects on his achievements this season. 

 

There are still 7 games to go, however it's safe to say that Strasmore has continued improving throughout his career. He's equalled his goal total from last season (an astonishing 6), but destroyed his passing gains, with 17 more assists than last season for a total of 48. It does not sound that impressive, but when you are talking about a 55% increase, that sounds more like it!! His plus/minus is well down however, only at a 18+ compared to last seasons very nice 39+. That's more of a subject of playing against the VHL's best, rather than second best. He's also reached new heights in minutes spent in the penalty box with 189. He will need to focus on his discipline. He has smashed his last season's hits total, eclipsing the 200-milestone with 207 so far. He'll want to be reaching for at least 250 next season. Still it's another 15% increase from last season. In terms of shots blocked, he's on track to get a couple more than last season. He currently has a respectable 126. 

 

Sure, he's improving and statistically we can see that, but Strasmore is not really focused on that. All Calgary eyes are turned towards the playoffs. Can they break the curse of the Leafs and win a goddamn playoff series!?!?!??!
