Eagles to attend Game 7 finals

[Greg_Di 1,028]

Even though he is currently doing off-season training in his home of Wroclaw, Poland, Roger Eagles will attend the Game 7 of the Continental cup finals between Toronto and Riga. Roger will be travelling with all the past Eagles players such as Greg, Tom and Henry as all the Eagles are currently at their facility to train and to help Roger get better for next season.

The series has been a great battle. Riga took a commanding 3-1 lead but over the last two games they were unable to seal the final victory setting up an exciting game 7.

 

" I told myself that if this goes to game 7 then I will do whatever it takes to make sure I'm in attendance" Roger said "It's been an entertaining series and has been a great battle so far. I look forward to the day when I can be involved in a series like this. I also look forward to spending some time with the Eagles family. We all deserve this little break as we have all been working extremely hard to prepare for next season."

 

Riga is not too far from Wroclaw, about a 3 hour flight so Roger will not lose much training time. Roger has been known for not taking much time to himself when he trains but this was an occasion he could not pass up.

 

"It's close by, I can go do my morning training. Fly over for the game and be back the next day and head back into training" Roger continued " This will not affect any of my training schedules but it will definitely help re-energize me as the end goal is to get Los Angeles to the final. I know a couple of my LA team-mates will be there and it will be good to catch up while watching some great hockey. I hope game 7 is a close affair and not a blowout. That would be the best ending to the series."

 

When asked who was his favorite to win?

 

" If it's not Los Angeles then it doesn't matter to me. Both teams have played really well this season and both deserve to win it in the end" Roger said " It will be a great storyline for any of them to win and I am sure it will make their fans happy although I am slightly leaning towards Riga just due to my thoughts on Toronto's goalie and his lack of putting in training with his team but just wanted to say good on him for helping his team reach the finals with limited amount of training"

Roger is expected to stay in Wroclaw after the finals for another 2-3 weeks for training before flying back to Los Angeles and starting the teams pre-season training. The young goalie has been working hard and it is rumored he has significantly improved on his weak points from last season. It is still yet to be seen if this will improve his stats or if it will be enough to help LA get to the playoffs next season.
