Review of Weiss' first games.

[jfaly 69]

Tobias Weiss is the newest addition to the Houston Bulls blue line, playing in two games earlier in the week. How did the young German upstart do in his first two games?

 

Weiss’ first game in the VHLM was against the San Diego Marlins, the team claiming second place in the Western Conference at this point in time. Weiss played just over 27 minutes in his first game, seeing 4 minutes on the penalty kill. It wouldn’t be too far off to say that the first game of Weiss’ career was underwhelming, posting a +/- of -2 and costing the Bulls a penalty for high sticking. Weiss took no shots that game, and was barely present physically with only 2 hits to his name.

 

Weiss improved his play in his second game against the Eastern Conference leading Mississauga Hounds, still posting a +/- of -2, but certainly being more present physically and making the game uncomfortable for the Hounds with 5 hits. Weiss found his way onto the powerplay for the Bulls, playing just under 2 and a half minutes. Weiss found some offensive spirit as well, getting 2 shots, one missing the net and the other being dealt with by Mississauga’s Jonny Elgar. Weiss stayed out of the penalty box this game, and was effective on the penalty kill, helping to kill off all the penalties Houston took.

 

Overall, Tobias Weiss is still finding his footing in the VHLM, but there’s no doubt he’ll help Houston out in the long run, slotting in nicely to their Top 4.
