[Baby Boomer 573]

Welcome everyone,

 

The off-season is over and since April 6^th the season has started. Bobby Bob finally decided to play in the VHLE this season with the Rome Gladiators. He will be a very important for the team this season. In this eighth episode of « The Bobs legacy, the sequel », we are going to talk about the end of the off-season and the beginning of the season of Bobby Bob and the Rome Gladiators.

 

At the end of the off-season, the Rome Gladiators named the leadership group and they decided that BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson @JardyB10 was going to lead the team and wear the “C” on his jersey. Hannibal Barca @DreMin15, Francesco Mancini @GioSivo, and Bobby Bob are all going to help him in this job of taking the team to the promised land. We talked to the GM of the Rome Gladiators and he said that he was really happy with how the team is looking like at the moment. He also said that he was really confident that the team was going to perform this season.

 

The season is still really young, and the Rome Gladiators only played four games. They started the season against the Istanbul Red Wolves and lost the game 3-1. The forward of the Red Wolves, Alexander Stroheim @Stroheim, participated to all the goals of his team and finished the game with one goal and two assists. The second game of the season was also against the Istanbul Red Wolves and the Rome Gladiators lost again, but this time by the score of 2-1. In the defeat, the goalie of the Gladiators, Matthew McCagg @Jack kidd, saved 40 of the 42 shots he faced and earned the first star of the game. After starting the season 0-2, the Rome Gladiators woke up and won the next two games. They won the first one 3-1 to the Oslo Storm again thanks to Matthew McCagg who saved 38 shots and finished the game with a save percentage of 0.974 and the second star of the game. In the win, Ray withers @Ray Withershad three points (3a) and earned the third star of the game. The second one ended with a 3-1 win of the Rome Gladiators over the Vasteras Iron Eagles. Both Hannibal Barca and Francesco Mancini finished the game with one goal and one assist and the second and third star respectively. Matthew McCagg also already earned his second first star this season saving 29 of the 30 shots he faced.

 

The team is having a good start to the season and Bobby Bob is having an even better one. Indeed, Bob has 3 goals and 4 assists for a total of 7 points in only 4 games. Bobby is tied in second place for the number of goals, assists, and points in the league and he is also leading the defenseman for the number of points. If we look at slightly more defensive stats, Bobby Bob has 12 shots blocked and is fifth in the league in this category.

 

Like I said, the season is still very young, but Bobby Bob and the Rome Gladiators showed some really interesting thing and we can hope for some really good things this season.
