Stockholm Surging

[Girts 828]

VHLE's Stockholm Vikings are surging lately with 6 wins in their last 10 games and are looking like a real contender with Bratislava and Cologne who continue to be jerks and won't let Stockholm pass them in the standings. The Vikings have recently strengthened the roster adding defenseman Barca and Verhault giving superstar bruiser Guntis Gavilrovs some help and relief on the blue line. Since the big trade the Vikings are playing well and seem to have found the right system the last week or so and are now really surging. It's possible they could catch Bratislava for 2nd, who were obviously feeling the pressure as they made a big trade to pick up all world forward Logan Ninefingers before the deadline. We all know about the hated rivalry between Gavilrovs and Ninefingers which will now certainly get spotlighted in the playoffs.

 

It should be mentioned that Vikings star forward Riley Martin is dominating the league right now with 68 points in 52 games and teams can't handle his skill on a nightly basis. Gavilrovs continues to lead all defenseman in scoring with 58 points as well the league in hits and pims with 227/144. He's a goddamn animal out there.
