Watchmen Continue Drive Up Standings

[dstevensonjr 445]

It's been a scorching hot run for the Bratislava Watchmen, winners of their last 6 games. The driving force behind this current run has without a doubt been the stellar play of their 2 goaltenders, Jonny Elgar and WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. The Watchers have employed a stingy gameplan on the ice, limited goals and shots at both ends of the ice.

 

In the past 9 games (7-2), the Watchmen have given up 2 goals or fewer 6 times. This run of shutdown play has resulted in Bratislava moving into 2nd place in the VHLE with 44 points, now 6 points back of Vasteras for top spot in the league. The Watchmen are also 4 points ahead of Rome for 3rd place, and 7 points ahead of Cologne and Stockholm for 4th place.

 

The next 13 games on the Bratislava schedule come against teams that aren't Vasteras. With 5 games against Rome, 3 games against Cologne, 2 games against Stockholm, and 3 games against Oslo, it will be important for the Watchmen to keep pace behind the Iron Eagles. Following that run of 13 games without Vasteras on the schedule is a stretch where the Watchmen and Iron Eagles meet 3 times in 6 games. Bratislava will be hoping that those games can be a battle for the top spot in the league.
