Ottawa Lynx 4-3-0

 

The Ottawa Lynx started the 62nd season in the VHLM this past weekend and hit the 1/10 mark of the season yesterday.  Right now they sit in a tie for 2nd place with the Las Vegas Aces with 8 points apiece  The Lynx have compiled a 4-3-0 record, scoring 28 goals and allowing 23. 

The Lynx had a tough start to the season dropping the first two games to the Halifax 21st . They quickly rebounded winning both games against the Saskatoon Wild, before finishing the week with a pair of wins against  the Oslo Storm and a loss against Las Vegas.

Some of the bright spots so far have been defenceman Lando Baxter leading way with 5 goals and 13 points, centre Chance Matthews with 10 helpers amd 12 points and rookie centre Chace Trepanier with 5 goals. 

In goal Kallis Kriketers had a rough start to the season, before getting on his game with a shutout against Oslo. Team defence and discipline have been a sore spot so far with a struggling Penalty kill and 23 goals allowed. The most recent game against the Las Vegas Aces, finished 2-1 with a much better showing in the defensive zone. GM Diamond_Ace expects this to be more or the norm for the year as he promised big things to the Lynx faithful. Almost going as far as to guarantee a berth in the Founders cup.

With a strong draft and a few free agents that fell into the teams lap, on paper it does look like a team to be reckoned with. As such there are high expectations all around and team ownership wont take a poor season lightly. 

The team hopes some early seasom struggles from players like Vaydar Odinsson, Jerome Mitchell, Robert Renner and Dan Wilinsky, can be turned around quickly as they’ll need everyone pulling together to have a successful season. 

After the first set of games, the coach preached better discipline and composure, as the Lynx have fallen behind in the first period in 5 games so far.

It is a long season and weve only just begun, but so far other than Halifax sprinting out to an early 5-1 record, and the Yukon Rush stumbling out of the gate at 1-5, everyone is bunched together. With a busy and tough schedule in the next week, the Lynx hope to keep hanging around the top two until they are able to shake out the early cobwebs. Diamond_Ace attrubuted the slow start to the one game preseason having issues getting his full lineup together. But he thinks that after the first two contests, the team has shown a better effort and and it should only get better. 

The team will have to rely on…. To carry them much of the way as defence wins championships in this league. Either way it will be another exciting year in the vhlm and well bring you exclusive coverage every step of the way. Till next week, so long.
