Americans full of hope [1/2]

[Gooningitup 1,290]

Last season Komarov was shunned the fans werent happy they drafted a man with 15points in 72 games let alone a Russian. However that changed quick this year they cant keep his jersey in stock. After tearing the VHLM a new one Komarov has become a fan favourite. A star in the making, one that American fans hope leads them to many cups. 

 

Komarov is likely in line for atleast 2 awards in the VHLM. Top goal scorer and top two way man. With MVP being a debate he should be apart of. This comes ontop of being the VHLM champ, after last years bitter defeat. This season will be painful for New York, you will not hear anyone debate that.

 

However, this season starts the climb from the bottom. Casey Jones, Sergei Komarov, Launchpad Mcquack, Irk Arkander are all expected to start the season and form the core. With Colton Rayne expected to stay down for the season in the VHLM. Komarov has put expectations on himself to atleast be in the conversation for rookie of the year. He will be coming into the season putting it likely abit over 300 hours into his training. Putting him just a 100 hours behind cousin Pavel, and 200 behind his uncle Vladimir. This is impressive, and goes further to showing Sergei wants to set himself apart from the other Komarovs. Seems to be on good pace right now as he hopes to be the face of the Americans success.

 

The core, Casey Jones just captured the VHLM scoring title. To go along with the cup he shared with Komarov as part of the Aces core. He will be the anchor of the blue line for many seasons too go.

 

Colton Rayne, proved to be a beast in terms of the plus minus area. Making sure he drove play and kept the puck out of his net. He along with Jones, Komarov captured the cup with the Aces, well being the ying to Casey Jones offensive yang. 

 

Launchpad Mcquack is the wild card. He could be a great number 2 C. Making a formidable 1-2 punch down the middle for years to come, or he could call his career early. His agent aims to prove tbe league wrong, and the Americans took the flyer. They hope he can build on that and become a good center to help round out the core.

 

Takashi Fujimoto is the Veteran brought in with hopes that his experience can guide this young roster. The hope is well they may not win a cup, they will atleast gain experience learning from a talented veteran on what it means to be a pro. The bonus, it cost little and they hope to atleast be playoff bound next season if all goes well.

 

The Americans still need things to go there way. This will not be a simple road but, things look a heck of alot better from where they are now to where they were last season. Lets hope the momentum can carry into next offseason

Review

New York is building a nice core with Casey Jones, Komarov, Rayne and Arkander in net. It will be interesting to see how the rebuild is after this season draft. New York has a bright future and has a great GM in STZ to lead the way
