Power outage in Vasteras

 

VASTERAS, SWE. – It didn’t take a prophet to foresee that the Vasteras Iron Eagles were going to have issues scoring goals this season, but the team’s most recent four-game power outage has been extreme even by those standards.

 

Currently mired in a four game losing streak, the Iron Eagles have managed to score a measly two goals over that span, a number that simply will not get it done in the VHL. The team salvaged a lone point against the Cologne Express in a 1-0 shootout loss that featured exceptional goaltending by Eggly Bagelface, who has largely been left out to dry.

 

Defenseman Mattis Trumbauer was critical of the team’s recent stretch and says the team needs to start playing a more simple game.

 

“This has been a tough stretch, you can see it on everyone’s faces. Not a lot is clicking for us right now,” Trumbauer said. “We really need to get back to the basics and get pucks on net. We’re not generating enough shots right now, yet alone scoring chances, so we have to start small and just focus on making the opposition goalie work.”

 

The Iron Eagles will be back in action at home against the New York Americans in their next contest.
