Claimed: Loss in the playoffs

Playoff Loss Hurts

 

Sadly enough the playoffs are over for the Oslo Storm. The Saskatoon Wild were simply too much for them to handle and the Storm were knocked out of the playoffs. Leilani wasn't exactly proud of his performance during the playoffs. His numbers have been atrocious and on top of that he hasn't even really progressed much during the season. He really hasn't hit the weight room much and his gains have actually not been the greatest he wanted. He made a promise to himself that he was going to push for as close to one-hundred practice hours before next season started and he has been letting himself down. He has to make it up by doing a lot of work in the off-season to help himself out. He has been wanting to give back to the league itself and has talked about his agent donating some of his money to help the cause. This could help him out by making sure he gets extra gains when needed so that he can buff himself up. The VHLM draft looks to be filled with some nice talent and he doesn't want to fall that far behind others. Some are ahead due to having longer to show what they have, but he won't let that stop him. Leilani hopes that next season, wherever he plays, he will get the chance to be on a team's top line and hopefully make a difference. Right now it doesn't seem like he will be doing that but if he can get in some more gains and get himself right, things could be looking up for him.

 

Despite the playoffs being over and Leilani still putting in work, he makes time for his family. He flew home to his parents to spend time with them and his siblings. He wanted to get back to his roots and also he just really missed his mothers cooking. She used to cook for the whole family on Sunday's as more than 20 members of the family were in attendance. It was a rough job but she loved it and she embraced the Hawaiian nature. She is one of the most humble people you could ever meet and she loves meeting new people. Leilani always brought over friends during the week and she wouldn't mind making food for them as well. The weekends were reserve for family only and Leilani knew that. When his plane landed in Hawaii, his mother and father were both there to greet him. They had wanted to hear how things were over in Oslo. They had never been to Norway and wanted to hear of the culture over there and of course his mother wanted to make sure he was eating right. Once they reached the house, Leilani would offer to help his mother set up the dinner for the family. He knew that it was only a few hours away but being prepared is something this family prides themselves on. Everyone showed up on time and they all had a blast. The dinner lasted a little over two hours and everyone was happy to see that Leilani was back. He told stories of Oslo and his team and teammates. They were crushed when they heard about the playoffs but they know he is destined for bigger and better things. His vacation would last for about another week and there will be more things to come.
