Playoff Time - Raimo Tuominen

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

CALGARY - The Wranglers quickly learned that the Toronto Legion would be their opponents. Soon the two teams played and came out of the first four games 1-3. Raimo Tuominen was certainly less than pleased with his play coming from those four games. No goals, only three assists, and now -4 in the playoffs, Raimo is frustrated with the start and wants to start contributing.

 

“I’m a young player, I’m a center, I’m supposed to be a guy who is out there helping the team. I have no excuses for the way I’m playing right now. Very limited on offense but also struggling on defense. As a second line center? I’ve been given a role and I haven’t played it. I am very happy our team was able to pull out the win in the second but it’s definitely been a wake up call. Sucks that I even have to have a wake up call. We have games left in the series. I have to be better than how I started. Forget the regular season. I need to start getting results. It’s the playoffs for goodness sake. This is where every game REALLY matters. This is where the losses hurt that much more.”
