The Bobs legacy, the sequel Ep.12 (Tough season for Bobby Bob and the Toronto Legion)

[Baby Boomer 728]

Welcome everyone,

 

We are back for the twelfth episode of « The Bobs legacy, the sequel ». In this episode we are going to look at first half of the season of the Toronto Legion and Bobby Bob’s.

 

After missing the playoffs each season since S84, the expectations were high for the Legion. Before the start of the season, Toronto’s GM @Moon, decided to trade for Jimmy MacElroy @Xflexz to improve the team’s defense. In exchange, Toronto gave a 2^nd round pick in S89 to the Vancouver Wolves. However, the season is not going as the team would have like and they are currently last in their Conference with a record of 9 wins, 19 losses and 6 losses in overtime for a total of 24 points in 34 games. The Toronto Legion only scored 70 goals since the beginning of the season, and it is the worst team in the league in this category. In the other hand, they have only 90 goals against, and they are 6^th in the league in this category. However, you can not win games if you only score 2 goals per game.

 

Even if the team is not doing as good as they should, some players are doing very good. Indeed, the goalie Joel Castle @animal74 is THE reason why the team is not allowing a lot of goals. He has a save percentage of 0.936%, a goal against average of 2.22 and 2 shutouts. He is respectively third, fifth and ninth in the league in these categories. Another player who is doing good defensively is the new acquisition, Jimmy MacElroy. He is leading the team in shots block with 76 and in hits with 85. MacElroy is also only -3 and is third in the team in this category. The team is not doing really well offensively, but Jimi Jaks @kelvi still managed to have 11 goals and 16 assists for a total of 27 points and he is leading the team in these last two categories.

 

At the beginning of the season, Bobby Bob had a lot of objectives, but he only had one individually: winning the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy. I am not saying that it is impossible, but if Bob wants to win the Trophy for the best rookie of the regular season, he is going to have to be a lot better than right now. He currently only has 3 goals and 12 assists for a total of 15 points in 34 games and he is 9^th among the rookies in the scoring category. It is a little better if you look at the defensive stats as he has 46 hits and 65 shots blocked. He is third in the team in the last category. Bobby knows that he must improve his offensive skills and each day after the morning training, you can see him practicing his wrist shot with the assistant coach. Bob’s first season is maybe not the one he wanted, but he is still young and he has plenty of time to improve his offensive and defensive skills.
