London United Off to a Good Start

 

The London United is seven games into their seventy-two game season and sit at a current record of 4-2-1, good for fourth in the EU conference. London has yet to win a single playoff series and this season they look poised to do so, but it's very early into the season and anything can happen. Leading the way for the team is the three musketeers of Hari Singh Nalwa, Igor Molotov, and Siyan Yasilievich. They are all sitting at 9 points in 7 games played and look to be the key driving force of the United's offense early on, however that could change as the season progresses. We caught up with Siyan Yasilievich and asked him his thoughts on this season so far, to which he said, "I'm pretty happy with our start so far. I feel like personally, I could be playing better, but it's very early in the season and there's still lots of time to go. I really like the group we have going here and I feel like this could finally be the team to break the curse, but it's fairly early on like I said. I will say though, the fans here are great and I'm feeling like I'm at home in London. I don't know how many times I've had someone see me on the streets of London and give me a thumbs up or a "good luck tonight". It's great to see and it really motivates me to want to do better not just for my teammates, but for the city also." Siyan currently is sitting at 4 goals and 5 assists this season, tied for the team lead in points and also goals. He's taken upon himself to shoot more this season and it's clearly showing, especially on the powerplay where he already has netted himself three powerplay goals. On top of that, London recently played Davos where they split the two games 1-1 and Siyan was seen talking to his old teammates during the warmups. We asked him what it's like to play against Davos and if he has anything to say about his old teammates, he replied, "I mean I love the city of Davos and the players. It was my first ever home in the VHL and I don't think I'll ever really hate Davos. They've got some great fans, great atmosphere in that arena, and honestly, it was a blast playing there. My old teammates seem to be doing just fine as Davos is 6-2 this season already, but I'll be looking to take them down when the games matter the most. I have something to prove and that's that I wasn't carried by Davos, I helped carry them and that's something I want to prove this season." London has a long season ahead of them, but this could just be the start of something special for the London United.

 

Mexico City Kings 

 

The Mexico City Kings also are off to a hot start yet again, being 5-1-2 in their first eight games in the minors. I'm looking forward to this season and I feel like we've got a real shot at the cup!
