Eagles the workhorse

[Greg_Di 1,028]

Roger Eagles is quietly becoming one of the biggest workhorses in the league, seeing an average of 45 shots per game so far this season. Just recently he faced 100 shots in 2 back to back games vs the Calgary Wranglers. He is only behind Pipo Popa who has seen an insane average of 55 shots per game.

 

" This season I knew with the team that we had that I would be getting a lot of shots and that is what I focused a lot of my off-season training on. Endurance and Agility" Roger said " It has definately helped and I know the eventual wear and tear during the season will come at some point but right now it's just like any other hockey game to me. Facing that many shots per game has really helped me fine tune what I need to work on to continually get better"

 

While he may have to continue with the onslaught for the rest of the season, help seems to be on the way, but not until next season. A slew of great draft picks from last seasons drafts should be making their way to the Stars next season which will hopefully propel Los Angeles into a fight for a playoff spot and bring that shot average for Roger down to the 30 range.
