Season 92 A quest for London History, the Molly the Cat story

[JCarson 730]

As noted in my preseason media spot the focus of my writing this season will be a tracking on Molly the Cat’s goal of becoming the greatest point getter and goal scorer in London United History. At the beginning of the season the London United Historical player statistics looked as follows: 

The Terrible Trivium had 290 goals and 329 assists to have 619 career points. 

That Dude had 225 goals and 331 assists to have 556 career points. 

Molly the Cat had 271 goals and 260 assists to have 531 career points. 

 

This leaves Molly the Cat needing 19 goals and 88 points to be tied for most franchise goals and most franchise points. With 72 games left in Molly the Cat’s career they are focused on reaching and exceeding these milestones.  At the time of this article being written London United have just finished their 7th game of the season. 

 

Game 1: London 3, Warsaw 4 in shoot out 

Molly the Cat started strong in this game, with a strong focus on the offensive side of the game. During the game Molly the Cat had 8 shots, took 2 minutes in penalties, and had 1 goal and 1 assist, with 32:11 time on ice. 

 

Game 2: London 3, HC Davos 0 

Molly the Cat continued their offensive push in this game with 14 shots on net, putting up 2 goals and 1 assist, going plus 3 in 30:55 on ice. Although Molly the Cat had a great game, Goalie Jesse Teno took the first star on their first shutout of the year.  

 

Game 3: London 2, Helsinki 1 

This was a close well fought game by both teams. With 29:30 minutes on ice Molly the Cat took 4 shots and had 1 assist.  

 

Game 4: London 3, Moscow 4 

Although London took 51 shots in this game, they could not pull out the win. Molly the Cat played 30:01 minutes, took 4 shots and put up 3 assists. Even though Molly the Cat’s shots have been down they have been able to find ways to get on the scoreboard. 

 

Game 5: London 4, Prague 1 

London played a strong game on both sides of the ice in this one, shelling Prague with 40 shots while only letting up 19. Personally, Molly the Cat had 9 shots in 29:58 on ice. In this they put up 2 goals and 1 assist. 

 

Game 6: London 1, Helsinki 2 

Jesse Teno had a busy night and did a fantastic job in keeping London in this game. Unfortunately, the goals just didn’t come. Molly the Cat played 28:19 minutes and took 8 shots. Unfortunately, Molly the Cat didn’t hit the scoreboard for the first time this season. 

 

Game 7: London 1, Malmo 2 in Overtime 

This was another tightly played game and was dominated by strong play by both goalies. Molly the Cat played 31:16 minutes and had 9 shots, unfortunately for a second straight game Molly the Cat was kept off the score sheet. 

 

So, in the first 7 games of the season Molly the Cat had 5 goals, 7 assists and 12 points. This brings Molly the Cat to needing 12 goals and 76 points to reach the target milestones. 

We will continue to monitor the success or failure of Molly the Cat as the season progresses.
