Gavilrovs Thru 72 +4

[Girts 1,219]

NY Americans defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs just finished a fantastic 72 game season that saw him tied for #1 in points by a defenseman going into the last sim to ultimately finish tied for 2nd with former teammate and Bollos de Trueno with an astounding 89 points. Guntis had 25 goals, 64 assists, 229 hits and 136 blocks on the year, another excellent season that should hopefully have in in the conversation for some awards again. More importantly the NY Americans made the playoffs in the #4 spot and would face Guntis former team Vancouver in round 1! A well-played series by both sides that saw Guntis' new team New York overcome Vancouver in 4 games but it was much closer than that final score appears. Three of the games were decided by 1 goal and two needed overtime, it was really a great series and he has nothing but respect for his former team and teammates. In the 4 games Guntis had 6 assists to lead the team in points and added 18 hits, 15 shots and 7 blocks. Most amazing though is he somehow lost a fight to some mope named Tim Robinson, despite all his success he is very ashamed of this and will carry a huge grudge going into next season. Will be interesting to see the first time NY and VAN play next year! Next up for the NY Americans in Toronto, which should be another great series. If Gavilrovs can keep up his strong play we could see NY upset the #1 seed. We like their chances!
