Season 92 Media Spot, Molly the Cat at game 35

[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.  

 

The last article in this series we accounted for the first 22 games of the London United Season which saw Molly the Cat accumulate 9 goals and 15 assists.  

  

In this article we will look at games 23 through 35 and see how Molly the Cat is doing:    

   

Game 23: London 5, Moscow 1  

In this game Molly the Cat was able to pick up a secondary assist on a Wann Kerr goal. During the game Molly the Cat had 4 shots, took 4 minutes in penalties, and 1 assist, with 28:24 time on ice.

Game 26: London 5, Calgary 4   

Another 1 goal game by London saw several players score, however Molly the Cat was not among them. Both teams played an offensive game that led to some great goals for the fans. Molly the Cat had 6 shots, put up 1 assist on 30:54 minutes on ice  

   

Game 27: London 4, Las Angeles 1

Game 32: London 4, Riga 5 

Another 1 goal game that this time was determined in overtime. Molly the Cat had 6 shots in 32:33 minutes on the ice.  

 

Game 33: London 4 Malmo 5

This wild scoring affair had both teams having over 40 shots with the eventual winner going in as part of a shoot out. Molly the Cat had 6 shots in 32:07 minutes on the ice. Molly in that time scored 1 goal and 2 assists. 

  

The multigame goalless streak did not help Molly the Cat on their quest to get the position as London’s top goal scorer and point leader. In summary Molly the Cat after 35 games has 16 goals, 29 assists and 45 points. This brings Molly the Cat to needing 3 goals and 43 points to reach the target milestones. With 37 games remaining this is a very realistic goal. 

 

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