LET ME SEE YOU JUMP - ANGELPLAYA

[Spartan 4,401]

A lot has happened since my last VHL.com just a week ago. I'd been going back and forth for a couple weeks, debating if I wanted to recreate and if so - when? I had a lot of people encouraging me to do so, as well as providing input as to when that occurrence should be. I also had to figure out what position I'd create, as well as a name. Both were things I had prepared well in advance back when Alex Letang was retiring in S79. I knew that I was going to create a winger and had some names rooted in Greek ethnicity brainstormed, with the names that didn't make the final cut going over to Laine and N0H. This go around, I simplified it a bit and just went with a nickname/meme for Oliver Sykes, the frontman for Bring Me the Horizon. And for a position, I went with the one position group I've never experienced before, goalie.

 

I timed my creation to be shortly before the VHLM Draft eligibility cutoff, just so that I didn't have to deal with selecting a team afterwards. I was happy to be selected in the second round by Arce and the San Diego Marlins, where the team has quickly begun to come together with the draftees and some older faces from the S70's. While initially I was expecting for the Marlins to not be a very strong team, I'm not realizing that expectations will be quite high for a team like this entering the season full at nearly all positions, and sporting some strong talent.

 

I'm just asking to hate this career as a goalie, so my expectations are pretty low. If I can have some half decent stats and not be a total liability, I'll be happy. But with my luck, I know it'll be a struggle. The goal will be to get max carryover and then decide if it's time to pull the plug on a failed experiment.

Sounds like a scrub, but all the best for your career!
