Ray-Day in San Diego - VHLM

[horoscope 32]

Just shy of the trade deadline, a few players from the Saskatoon Wild will have to change wardrobes for warmer weather. The trade destinations were, namely, Las Vegas, Miami, and San Diego. I managed to snag an interview with Ray Stanton, who was traded to the San Diego Marlins, at the beach. The quick defenseman is quickly getting adjusted to the new change of scenery. 

"It's been quite some time since I've seen a palm tree. No shortage of places to eat, either."

He reminisced, fondly, over his 1.16 point per game pace with the team, hoping to keep up. In less than formal words, he described what the keys to his success were.
 
"My macronutrients are MINT. I'm only eating the chicken parm on weekends now. ... I'm progressing faster than I thought. I'm holding my defensive assignments more and I'm not taking as many penalties."

His words aren't always concise, but his on-ice performance has been. His first two games as a Marlin came with 3 assists to match. He hopes to carry this throughout the playoff hunt and beyond.
