Rave Showing Knack for Clutch Plays

[tcookie 927]

A few days ago, Malmo Nighthawks rookie Phillip Rave talked in an interview about living for the big moments.

 

Then, in the next two games Malmo played, Rave scored two goals - breaking a tie in the final two minutes of a 7-5 win over Davos and then scoring the eventual game-winner in a 3-2 win over DC.

 

Rave has scored 8 goals do far in his young VHL career, but 3 of them are game-winners. It goes a little beyond that: 11 of Rave's 33 goals with the VHLM's San Diego Marlins back in S90 were GWGs, and 3 of his 6 goals in this year's world juniors were, too.

 

Rave has only just begun a hopefully-long VHL career and has shown tremendous growth over the past two seasons. His upside is sky high, though he's certainly still developing into it. But he's already got a knack for showing up big in big moments. With a penchant for scoring clutch goals and trips to the VHLM and VHLE already on his resume, Rave is showing not just talent, but the kind of intangibles that teams love.
