JumpierPegasus 52 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Brampton Blades Team Profile GM: tfong Captain: Golden Jedtsson Assistant Captain: Maxime Perron Assistant Captain: Valentin Taneyev The Brampton Blades -- a team competing in the VHLM -- are heavily considered the favourites to win it all this season. After their first 26 games they are 24-2, and look to be unstoppable. But the question it, despite losing two amazing players in Bronson Faux and E'Twaun Delicious, how are they still able to be the top team night after night, and be favourites yet again? Well we look deeper into what makes this team tick. Offense Offense seems to be a dominant force for Brampton -- but the question really is, what isn't? -- as they are leading the league in Goals For with 133, up on Bern who have 117. The offense is driven by forward superstar Sam Teibert, who currently leads the league in points with 72 in 26 games. An incredible number by any standards, but keep in mind that this is a kid who is seemingly unnoticed and under the radar usually. Not this season, as he is decimating his teammates, as the next closest player has 58 points, and everyone else in the league. And a player on D that has brought some incredible offense to the Blades is captain Golden Jedtsson who currently sits 9th in points with 45 points thus far. He hasn't been killing the stat sheet in goals, however his 38 assists in 26 games is extremely impressive, and people have taken notice. He is considered a definite shoe-in to be playing VHL games next season, and he is going out in his last season in Brampton with a bang. And bringing up a great amount of points in highly touted rookie Maxime Perron. Currently with 20 goals and 20 assists, Perron has not been afraid of taking his place on the team by force. He is showing all other rookies how you work your way onto a team, and is currently second in rookie scoring. The GM has had nothing but high praises to say for the young Frenchman, and has named him assistant captain for the season. Defense We mentioned defender and captain Golden Jedtsson earlier. Well that is because he has been absolutely incredible in the VHLM so far this season as he sits 3rd in defensemen in points. But his offense isn't only what is being marveled. He is currently a +37, one of the best in the league, and has the lead on the team in shots blocked with 29. He is leading the charge on a backend that is a little bare for the Blades. Their lackluster defense is carried by the acquisition of goalie Coca Cola from Oslo. When in Oslo to start the season, Cola recorded an 0-6 record with a 3.01 GAA. Everyone was aware he needed out of that situation, as he posted an impressive .927 SV% and was keeping games at least close for the terrible Oslo team (who are currently 3-21). Since coming to Brampton he has gone 19-1 with a 1.39 GAA, and a .925 SV%. This incredible turn around has people singing the goaltenders praises and he has kept Brampton to a league low 40 goals against on the season. Only 28 of those are Cola's in 20 games, while their backup goalie let in 12 of the 40 in his first 6 games. This just further proves Cola's dominance, and the team would be that much further ahead if they had acquired him before the season had started. Wrap-Up Look out for a back-to-back championship by Brampton. They are dominating the league from both an offense and defense standpoint, and aren't going to ever go down in a game without a fight. With goalie Coca Cola in net, forwards Teibert, Taneyev, Wilcox, and Perron up front, and captain Jedtsson manning the point, this team is unstoppable. General Manager tfong has put together an incredible team again this season, and the fans can't get enough of it Baozi and Higgins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
