Evans 305 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 While the number one pick in the draft may not have lived up to expectations, Titan Kronos was certainly an integral part of a Riga Reign playoff run that took the league by surprise. Many felt that despite playing in a weaker conference this season, the Reign would not be able to make their way into the post season. Without the weight of high expectations, the Reign were able to go out there and just play some damn hockey this season. For them, it turned out to lead to a lot more wins than people thought was possible from this roster. Titan Kronos did not hold back his excitement when discussing how things went. Quote It was weird. I thought being drafted first overall would hold a certain weight to it. When my name was called, I thought it meant I was going to have to bust my ass everyday for the next eight years to prove that I was worth where I went. To my surprise, the low expectations for Riga kind of took me under their wing. No one thought I would be a top rookie. Not sure if that was something that had to do with my position or what they felt about my talent, but I didn't mind. We all kind of just shut out the rest of the world and worked on our game plan. In the long run, it benefited us quite a bit With Riga winning it's first playoff series in ages, fans of the team are optimistic that a cup could be in their future. Kronos feels that as this team continues to produce, the players will come. Quote Right now everyone is trying to hop on the Legion band wagon while they can. Seems there might be a couple things going on behind the scenes that is kind of immoral in my eyes, but all I can do is go out there and try to beat the teams put in front of me. The run we went on showed that we can do more with less and hopefully it leads to some guys wanting to sign here. This is a smaller FA class and a lot of the guys seems to be trying to claw on to the coattails of a championship team rather than being the one to beat them. Riga is a great place to be and I will be doing my best to try and recruit some players. If all else fails, we just continue to do what we do....stomp on your expectations. Riga has not seen any success in the FA market this offseason. Kronos offered a promise to those that do eventually decide to come to Riga. Quote I promise to stay with Riga the rest of my career. This team has shown faith in me and I think that I owe it to them to give them all of my years as a player. I want to bring this franchise a championship.

FacePuncher 1,343 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Review: What a big statement by Kronos! I'm sure that all the fans in Riga will be glad to have such a dedicated guy on their team. Also, what bold accusations against Toronto! Then again who really trusts @Draper and @Higgins? 497 words Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/32093-claimedkronos-reflects-on-season-reviewed/#findComment-359310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
