Cologne's the perfume of the E

[leandrofg 1,156]

Cologne, Germany - Cologne might be known for its Eau de Cologne, that light fragrance with a lower concentration of perfume oil – a whisper in the world of scents. But when it comes to hockey, Cologne ditches the subtlety and goes full-on powerhouse!

 

We are - of course - talking about the Express, and once again, they look like the team to beat in the VHLE. The German side has already taken first place in the regular season standings, holding the best offensive and defensive records.

 

When you evaluate a team like this, it's difficult to pin their success on just one player, but this season, it may be more challenging than ever. Let's put three players in the spotlight today.

 

On offense, it's not who you might think. Maverick's been doing great, but Alexandros Mograine has been stellar for the Express. The Canadian has shown he can move the puck and put it in the right spots for the team to succeed. Imagine if he can improve on the abysmal 1.85 shot percentage - this might be our MVP.

 

On defense, it's a known face, Joseph Dubois. In his fourth season in the E, Doubois has shown the opposite luck with his shots and holds an incredible 14.89 shot percentage. We pair that with his defensive leadership, and he could have the VHLE's Top Defenseman in Cologne.

 

Last but not least, no team can survive without a great goalie, and Soju has been him. After a surprising draft and uncertain future, Soju is the starter in Cologne and has taken control of the situation. With the videogame-like numbers he's posting, he could be a lock for the Orion D H Chiester IX Trophy.

 

So next time you think of Cologne, remember: they're the perfume of the E - subtle in fragrance but explosive on the ice!
