Enter the Dragomir

[omgitshim 903]

It was roughly two weeks ago when the Yukon Rush pulled off a blockbuster trade, bringing in forwards Veran Dragomir and John Stronk in from Saskatoon in exchange for a pair of draft picks. The Rush were already in first place at the time, so the move was seen as a statement that hey, we want to win now. There was a little concern early on about how well Dragomir would fit in with fellow stars Varis Tribuncovs and Noel Roux on the first line, and indeed it took some time before they really got full run together. Now, Yukon has ramped their game up to an even higher level thanks in big part from Dragomir. The Rush have scored 5 goals in 4 consecutive games now, extending their winning streak to a remarkable 24 games. Over those 4 games, Dragomir has tallied an absolutely ridiculous 16 points. He has a total of 23 points over his 15 games as a member of the Rush, and given that he wasn't getting full playing time early on, he has averaged an incredible 1.88 points per 20 minutes over that time. Overall the Rush are firing on all cylinders right now, and it would take nothing short of a miracle performance by the Las Vegas Aces in order to deny Yukon a Founder's Cup Championship this season.

Rush look like they are going to run away with it this year.

Thanks for the shout out! Hopefully we can continue this all the way to the Cup!
