Gavilrovs Thru 22

[Girts 1,208]

Twenty two games into the season and his first in New York Guntis Gavilrovs is off to a great start with 25 points, 8 goals, 90 hits and 47 blocks! Strong numbers for last years best defenseman award winner but not quite on the same pace as his triple award season from a year ago. As Guntis gets more comfortable he may be able to increase his current pace and get back into the top scoring Dmen of the league, but already being over a point per game is fantastic with his new team. New York has had an up and down season so far, hot start then a skid then hot again, currently 9-9-4 good for 5th in the division they will need to pick up the pace in order to stay in the race, but are certainly looking like a playoff team. They could use a little puck luck and we expect they will get some here soon. Guntis is happy in NYC, great teammates and coaches and he's confident the group can play more consistent as we get into the main part of the season. He is still threatening to run Vancouver goalie Soju next time they play and is not scared of the threats made against him by former teammates Bollos de Trueno and Logan Ninefingers if he does. New York doesn't play Vancouver again for a while, so we'll see if tempers cool by then..
