Disciplined Hrdina vs party animal Ber D2.

[diamond_ace 3,112]

Vaclav Hrdina is officially back in the VHLM. For a young player with documented motivation issues, signing with a team in a big party city such as Las Vegas might not have been the wisest idea, but Hrdina has made it work for him so far. In 4 games, he has 2 goals and 5 assists - not fantastic stats once adjusted for the high offensive output of the VHLM, but not poor either. His 7 points are good for 4th on the team, behind Lavar Ball, Colton Rayne, and Mikka Toivonen. He also gets the second highest ice time on the team behind Ball. Not a bad performance for his first 4 games back to competitive hockey after several seasons of not playing. Hrdina's main goal at this point is to stay focused on the season ahead, and not get distracted by the excesses of Las Vegas - not an easy task when his teammate, Ber D2, has been going out every night and pestering the entire team to join him. However, it has shown in Ber D2's performances over the season, as he has no points, 6 PIM, and a -5 rating. Hrdina can see firsthand how letting the occasion get to him can cause problems, and the team might need to stage an intervention before it costs Ber D2 his job. The occasional night of fun is fine, but everything in moderation, and Ber D2 doesn't seem to understand that. Hrdina does, and that's why he's been so much more successful. Let's see if that keeps up for him.

Team "officials" will be "escorting" Ber D2 "out to a hole in the desert" so that these distractions can be a thing of the past.
