Breaking Out - Raimo Tuominen

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

Raimo Tuominen has really proven himself to have the best single season performance out of any of my players. It’s only just past the halfway mark in the season and he already holds the single season stats records for goals and points for any of my players. 

Raimo currently has 42 goals. The closest any of my players has been was Ryuu Crimson all the way back in season 65(!!!) during his last year with the Reign when he potted 41 goals. The most Petrenko got was 35 in a season. In terms of points, Raimo has 91 points. None of my players have ever hit the 90 point mark. The closest was Ryuu Crimson who was one away with 89. Sigard also got close with 87. For what it’s worth, Jacques Lafontaine is last in both categories.

 

 What’s wild to me is that the season is not over. Now, knowing Raimo, I am not going to be counting my chickens early. He is very volatile in terms of offensive production and to be honest, one of the biggest reasons, if not the main reason, is because of Catia Goncalves. Regardless, I am already very happy to see that Raimo has shown signs of improving this season and hope that it can carry on in future seasons as this Wranglers core continues to grow.

 

Both of my previous forwards were depth wingers that won championships as second liners. But with Raimo, this is the first time where I’ve had the responsibility to build up a true main piece. I hope I can continue doing well. The Wranglers are building up an excellent core and I hope to play my part as well as possible.
