Stars hot out of the gate !

[KRZY 416]

After reaching the ContinentalCup Finals and unfortunately being swept by the Prague Phantoms the LA Stars are off to a Hot Start in S91. 
 

How did they get here ?

In the Off season the Stars made an early splash aquiring Larry Abass Jr from Riga , they then sent Svatopluk Puk to Seattle for Jon Webber Jr and prospects . Pope Francis has also come as advertised in his highly anticipated rookie season so far on the blue line . 
 

Larry has brought his rough and tough hard hitting game to the Stars and fit right in , finding early Chemistry with team captain Todd Cooke and longtime fan favourite Sunglasse Joyo . Webber has been productive as well playing alongside Cooke . Both new faces have been welcomed additions to the Stars offence . Napoleon Dynamite is having another consistent season upfront aswell the veteran has been everything the Stars could have dreamed of as a power forward when the traded for him in the season 89-90 offseason. Adam Rage is looking like he could very well break out and be a point per game player this season already scoring a hat trick in the teams most recent game he could be a dark horse funk candidate if he keeps it up ! Lastly Todd Cooke is on track to have another solid season currently tied for the league lead in goals and plus minus . Hopefully he can keep up the pace and once again finish atop the league in scoring .

 

Last season when longtime star Callum Murray retired the Stars knew they would have a massive hole to fill . So far Jens Lekman and Elias Lampi have done a phenomenal job stepping up and sharing that responsibility of replacing Murray , Currently both top 10 in defence scoring they are a huge part of LA’s strong defensive game early in this season. Highly touted rookie Pope Francis has finally arrived and is transitioning to the VHL game very well playing with both Lampi and Lekman he’s done a great job finding his game so far and establishing himself as a regular on the backend.

 

Art Vandelay has been light out and is currently playing the best hockey of his career right now the longtime netminder has always been the backbone of the Stars and he’s showing it again this season ! Matthew Mckagg has only appeared in one game as of now in relief but has shown well stopping all 19 shots he faced .

 

Overall the Stars are poised to have another Great season they are strong in all positions and zones . Currently they are among the top teams offensively and defensively and I think they will continue this strong play all season long . This one’s gonna be fun ladies and gentlemen!

 

One person I didn’t really talk about or give enough credit was @InstantRockstar he has made the stars contenders for the past couple seasons and gone under the radar immensely . Without his hard work dedication and pure commitment to this team there is no way they’d be anywhere near where they are right now . The true franchise unsung hero .
