Eagles enjoying his best season yet

After a rough season last year, Roger Eagles, seems to be back into great form as he is enjoying his best year yet.

The 4th year Los Angeles goaltender has shown glimpses this season of why he was drafted 1st overall. In 36 games played so far this season he is 17-18-1 with a .923 save percentage which is a career best as of now and a 2.84 goals against average which is also a career best. 

We believe this play has come down to more focus and more experience in the crease but also from the great play of the Stars backup Ricky Lafleur.

 

"Ricky @DarkSpyro has been great when his in the net and he has been pushing me to play better, his always yelling and hollering from the bench giving his support and its vice versa when his in the net" Roger said "This is the first year the team has had a true backup and someone to push and challenge me for the spot and it has been working. Were both having incredible years and pushing our team to challenge for that final wild card spot"

The team for this season has about 20 games left to play and its expected Roger to get maybe 12 or so more games in as he plays a few less games this season due to a nagging injury

 

"While I feel great the doctors have me on a game time management plan which will hopefully have me back at 100% for next season. I think these rests have done wonders for me as I get older and have also helped in my play" Roget continued "With a capable backup we can now manage each goalies time properly so that we are at our best"

Many have wondered how the 1st overall goalie has handled significant less play time with the rise of Ricky but it seems like there is no issues at all and in fact it has helped the Stars move forward in their pursuit to get back into the playoffs

 

"Ricky is great and one of the best backups you can have in the league, I know sometime soon he will surpass me and snatch that starter spot from me and ill be more then happy to give it up for him" Roger said " but for now I intend to keep that spot at least for another season, when I get older in my 6th season and start to regress then he can have it as I know he will be fully ready for it"

 

Rumors have it that Roger will be attempting for some individual awards next season and is using this season to fully heal his body before a grueling next season.

 

"Rumors are rumors but it would definitely be great to win one or two awards before I regress, I have been working hard and believe that next season I can make something happen in that front " Roger said addressing the rumors "I may have to compromise with Ricky or just pay him off with some weed so that I can squeeze in a few extra starts to hit award nomination type of games played but we will see, our main focus is to finish this season out first and challenge for that wildcard spot"

Roger and Ricky are a killer tandem! They have been playing better and better as the season goes on sharing the crease very effectively!
