Ricky and Bubs

[AJW 2,190]

Ricky and Bubbles LaFleur advance to their first ever VHLM playoffs 2nd round after defeating the Mexico City Kings 2-1 in today's sim! The series finished in a 4-2 duel, Mexico was a strong team but I wasn't surprised to see Ricky standing on his head like he has done for us all season. Through 6 games Ricky put up an impressive 0.920 SV%, only allowing 7 goals against, while also holding a 1.17 GAA! I've never been a huge goalie stat guy but I know for a fact that is really good stuff. Ricky showed up to a couple games hammered or stoned, so maybe the San Diego Marlins need to keep feeding this guy his fuel for the next round if we want some more success. If I'm not mistaken, the Marlins will next see either the two dominant Ottawa Lynx or Halifax 21st... both top tier teams currently in a 3-3 tied 1st round series. Halifax is Ricky and Bubbles' hometown, they played for the 21st last season, so to faceoff against them in the next round would be a treat for the boys. It would be sweet to play a couple games in Halifax and visit Julian at the park, while at the same time flip the bird to Randy who played for the Mexico City Kings in S85. The boys are buzzin' and excited to keep this playoff run rolling.

 

The boys have their VHL draft coming up too with high hopes of being able to land on the same VHL roster and play full careers for one team. Either way, Ricky and Bubs have another season with the Marlins to play first, but obviously there will be a lot of excitement this off-season when draft day comes around.

Please Simon, bless us with this opportunity so Ricky and Bubbles can meet the new look Boat Gang in the second round…
