New York on eight-game win streak

[scoop 3,432]

The Americans lack of depth proved to be a problem last season, and this season hasn't been a whole lot better. For much of the season, they've been in a close battle with the Wranglers for second place in North America despite the expectations that New York would still be in contention for a Cup. While I believe this is more a factor of the Wranglers easier schedule thus far, New York's early struggle to keep up with Quebec was not a good sign, regardless of where they are relative to Calgary.

 

They haven't been awful, but they have been a bit inconsistent, losing games to teams that you wouldn't expect them to lose while still being capable of beating top tier teams. Recently, they've gone through an easy stretch of games, and they've managed to create an eight-game winning streak. Prior to this streak, the longest of the season was just four wins. They have played a combined seven games during this stretch against Seattle, Cologne, and Toronto, so to see them winning these games is not a surprise. They did also have a win over Stockholm during this streak, which is good to see from them.

 

After one more game with the Express, the Americans will be tested with back to back games vs the Meute, followed by another match with the Vikings.

Glad to see Maxwell back on top of the points list tbh.. Would be a shame for you to return and not at least put up some points.
