Twelve games are played in the VHL and the tables are turned (for at least the moment), as Calgary is just barely clinging onto a Wild Card spot, while the erstwhile suffering Titans are on top of the European Conference(and only second to a surprisingly strong Bears). 

One could be forgiven to think that the Wranglers' problems are of a defensive nature, as they had to release Marcel to the free agency due to cap constraint. But, no defensively, Calgary is one of the better teams. Their apparent weakness is on the scoring part, despite still having the offensive Trident Wolanin/Gonçalves/Janser in hand.

 

Alas, Calgary has had slow starts before and it is too early to fret yet.They also lost games where they clearly dominated on the shot clock and where Lindbergh dropped the odd puck (quite literally).

Daniel has been confirmed captain of his team once more and will do his level best to get rid of the off-season rust and be a clutch player again. At the moment, he is the team leading forward when it comes to blocking shots and helps out his netminder to keep the puck out of the net. He also is the Wrangler with the most goals to his name, but Wolanin is the highest scoring one.

 

The season is still young and a lot can happen until the playoffs are in sight. And who knows, maybe we will witness a brotherly duel for the ages, rivalled only by the duels between Sandro and Greg Clegane in the final of the Continental Cup. 

 

Here are the stats sofar for our intrepid heroes:

Marcel: 13gp, 2g, 7a, 9pts, +11, 12 PIM, 19 hits, 23sb, 1gwg, 1 First Star nomination

Daniel: 11gp, 7g, 5a, 12pts, -3, 6 PIM, 21 hits, 8sb, 0gwg, 2ppg, 59.06FO%, 1 First Star nomination
