Wolves out, Questions remain

[Scurvy 1,393]

Well, the season is officially over for the Vancouver Wolves.  After a tough game 7 loss to the Chicago Phoenix the Wolves will begin the locker clean out process and move on to the golf course.  The talented club just couldn’t seem to put the chemistry together in the playoffs despite finishing the regular season on fire. 

 

Most disappointing was the play of third year forward, Logan Ninefingers.  Completely absent in 7 games the former first overall pick scored a whopping 0, yes ZERO goals and had a mere 3 assists.   When the team needed an offensive spark, he just didn’t answer the bell.  

 

In fact, in 16 total playoff games, Ninefingers has managed to score just ONE playoff goal beckoning the question, “Is Logan Ninefingers a playoff performer?”   Clearly to this point he is not.  7 career playoff points in 16 games isn’t going to cut it for a club who is expected to win now and in a town that does not forgive losing.  

 

This off-season will be telling for the young player and team captain.  He told reporters after his game 7 loss he was going to stay in Vancouver all summer and continue to work out and skate with defenseman, Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts and backup goalie Soju @Frank.  

 

We will see if it pays off.

Ninefingers is an elite player, sometimes it just doesn't go in, there's still nobody else I would rather have out there when the game's on the line! No doubt training with Gavilrovs and Soju will help though and If Guntis has to personally check that monkey off your back and through the glass he will!

 

Next season we go all the way! (Like RIP Wheeler did with Mama June)
