OTTAWA – The puck officially dropped on the Brent Hardy era Thursday and already, the Ottawa Lynx seem newer and more improved. It took Hardy all of 10 minutes and 9 seconds to score his first VHLM goal, a power play conversion that opened that drew first blood in a win over last place Bratislavia.

 

“Just incredible”, Brent Hardy said in describing his first VHLM action. “...the fans were great, the boys were fired up, and we prepared to play some aggressive hockey.”

 

The aggressive style of play was a sight for many sore eyes due to Ottawa’s recent struggles to get shots on net. The tempo had definitely changed on Thursday and the Lynx put off 45 shots in route to a 3-0 victory over the Watchman.  After the game, Ottawa GM Sandro Clegane credited Hardy as being the difference-maker.

 

“Brent’s addition along the blueline allowed coach to put forwards in their more natural spots for several shifts”, explained Clegane. “The team played with more energy and confidence...it certainly showed in the box score.”

 

Hardy’s goal came after a high sticking call put the Lynx on a man advantage. It didn’t take long for the power play unit to open up lanes where Hardy put an Eric McCroy pass to the back of Bratislavia’s net. The Lynx’s newest addition finished the night with a goal on 6 shots, a pair of hits, and a pair of blocked shots.

Your addition will be big, especially if you keep this up!

 

Although I will poop on the party a bit and point out you can only claim one of these a week (unless that changed at some point without me realizing it) . But if you wanted you could claim this for next week on Monday and take a week off VHL.com Articles!

To poop on your party even more, because you submitted a Graphic you can't claim welfare this week.

 

If you're looking for ways to get to the 9 TPE cap, the best way is to get a job. As it happens, it appears there are openings for a Media Spot reviewer or a Graphics reviewer right now. Considering they haven't gotten an application in a week I like your odds, if you're interested.

 

Another way would be to submit a short podcast in the VHL Radio section for 2 TPE, instead of these articles which are 1 TPE. They don't have to be anything fancy. You could just spend 10 minutes reviewing Hardy's performance in the last week or something like that. I have a hard time keeping mine below 30 minutes, and I edit them for fun, but you don't have to do any of that for the 2 point versions.

 

If Trivia returns this season, there's opportunity to earn 1 capped TPE each week through that too.

 

I know it might seem limiting, but don't be discouraged! One day you could be like me and make more TPE than I can even claim. But I don't recommend it!
