Leilani the Underachiever

 

Leilani Maleko has been underachieving in his short stint in the minor league system of the VHL. The team hasn't really lived up to the expectations that surrounded the roster when Leilani committed to joining. The team looked poised to do some damage from the second seed and at least put up some form of a fight against the powerhouse that is known as the Las Vegas Aces. The sad truth though is that the Aces have literally been ripping the whole league a new one. They have shown no remorse and just walk into any city and make a mockery of their team. The Oslo Storm still have some promise and will look to do damage in the playoffs so long as the team continues to progress as hockey players. I guess one could say that the Oslo Storm are dark horses to win it all this season but most of us all know that is unobtainable. With the way the Aces are playing, even if Oslo put up some form of a fight, I could see it last to a six game series. With the league's highest earning TPE goalie in Vernon Von Axelberry, the team looks like they are unbeatable. They did lose some games in regulation but let's be real. There are really no holes in that team and it seems like everyone that came along did it for a free ride. The parity was killed from what seems like the beginning of the season around the time of the draft.

 

Leilani is not really looking forward to the playoffs but he will show up one hundred percent and he will give his all. What excites him more is the prospect of becoming better on the ice. He knows that his game is lacking in certain areas and he would like to get better. in order for him to do that, he has to hit the weight room and get in them gains. As long as he commits to roughly six to eight practice hours a week, he should be in good shape in time for the minors draft. These gains are also going to help him out when it comes time for the season 56 VHL draft. Right now it's hard to say where he stands in the rankings but he wants to put in the necessary work to improve his game and show his worth. It is rumored that performance isn't always the key when general managers look at draft prospects at the draft. The main point is the consistency of them producing at practice and putting in the necessary hours. I guess that means that Lelani is going to really have to work hard and do all that he possibly can to help his cause out. The playoffs are coming up and he will try to help his team make as much of an impact as he possibly can. Being the teams second line center had did pretty decent in the regular season, but let's see if he can do work from there during the playoffs. Not many teams are vying for the chance to win the cup and we know who the favorites are. Let's see if Oslo can play upset to them or if the Aces are just too much. Stay tuned to see an interesting playoffs and hopefully you will be surprised at some of the outcomes.
