A little more than a third of the season have been played in the VHLE since we last reported from Callum and his arrival in Vasteras. In that time, we witnessed a less than optimal start for the Swedish outfit. Alas, after the chemistry between the veterans and the promising rookies has been established, the Iron Eagles have climbed to the top of the VHLE. Janser as a stay at home back has contributed in many ways to the team's success. He battles with Black Orc Chieftain and fellow S91 draftee Grimgor Ironhide for the title of the meanest SOB in the league. Both weigh in with their considerable body mass, with an edge for the Heard and McDonalds Islander when it comes to checks dished out. Callum is giving the gritty left wing a run for his money when it comes to penalty minutes. The Calgary native has also top ten accolades when it comes to +/- rating and shots blocked. The latter is lead by his future team mate, Rin Kagamine, while to former is in the Reingaards' firm grip. Let's have a look at the two latest games to catch up with Cal-Gary's career.

 

2-1

The first match we feature was more the gusto of connoisseurs of good old defensive hockey. The teams shut each other down, with the edge for the Norwegian franchise. Mattias opened the score after 3:05 minutes into the game. This was also the sole goal in the first period. Oslo had a brace in the second period, one of which was a marker on the man advantage. The final frame ended with no further goals scored, despite valiant attempts by Vasteras to even the score. The three stars of the game were Slezak (42 saves), Anttonen (1g/0a) and L. Reingaard (0g/1a). In net, both keepers were closing the door. However, Slezak (.977) showed Herzlich (.909) who's boss. The Swedes' power play was pathetic (0/4) while the penalty kill unit was okay (3/4).

Janser logged 0g, 0a, -1, 4 PIM (twice for Hooking, the first of which lead to a goal against), 1 hit and 2sb

 

4-2

The most recent contest ended in a 4-2 win for the Iron Eagles. Leif popped the games' cherry mid-way through the first period and Rome could not answer in the first period. In the second frame, the Gladiators tied the game early and this time Vasteras could not respond. So it all went down to the last period, where Rome pulled away after 5:32. However, Johnson on even strength, Barca on the power play and Romanov in the orphaned net put the nails into the Italian's coffin. Romanov (1g/1a), Sansoe (2g/0a) and Janser (0g/2a) were given the post-game honours. Gauthier (.923) had a respectable performance but was overshadowed by Vidarsson (.952) who stood on his head to give the Gladiators a fighting chance. Vasteras' power play was mediocre (1/6), their box play flawless (2/2).

Janser left the ice with 0g, 2a, +1, 4 hits and 2sb.

 

Callum's stats as of now:

26gp, 3g, 11a, 14pts, +12, 59 PIM, 127 hits, 53sb, 1 gwg, 1 First Star nomination
