Houston's heroic defense

[courtjestr19 66]

I haven't been around the VHLM very long, but I think we might be witnessing something crazy out of a defense in Houston right now.

 

Since taking one on the chin in Philadelphia, Houston's defense seems to have taken the giving up of 33 shots personally, as subsequent games have just exhibited lockdown defense by the Bulls. In fact, the first game was just marked by the defense putting their bodies on the line for Bart Lorequavius with a total of 11 blocked shots and another 15 turned away by the netminder. 

 

The games since have gone like this:
W 1-0 vs. SASK, 15 shots allowed, 11 (!) SB

SOW 3-2 @ LVA, 16 shots allowed, 6 SB

W 6-2 vs. MIA, 23 shots allowed, 5 SB

W 1-0 vs. LVA, 11 shots allowed, 3 SB

W 5-1 vs. MIA, 10 shots allowed, 3 SB

W 1-0 vs. HAL, 13 shots allowed, 4 SB

W 3-0 @ MIA, 21 shots allowed, 6 SB

W 1-0 vs. LVA, 9 shots allowed (!), 4 SB

W 2-0 @ LVA, 7 shots allowed (!!), 1 SB

 

That's an average of only 12.5 shots per game reaching Bart, who has exceeded the task with clockwork-like regularity. With only 1 shot allowed in the last 71 attempts, Bart's 98.6 SV% and ridiculous run of 5 shutouts in 6 games is wild and awe-inspiring. If Houston is planning on a deep run in the playoffs---certainly the goal in the clubhouse---they were witness to Las Vegas's run to the Cup via a stout defensive effort and have put on a clinic this season in their own effort.

 

And a clinic is has been!

Surprisingly, not a single member form Houston in the top 10 for blocked shots. @Ente2997 running away with things!

 

@jaypc8237 is having an insane season and so is Houston so far!

Haha, Thank You! Going for the Single Season Shutout Record now!
