Mark Gebauer Ottawas new top scorer?

[Sova 53]

In the first view games the new German forward playing for the Ottawa Lynx, Mark Gebauer, has been making quite the impact and took up the mantle and is now leading his team in scoring. For an undrafted rookie, this is more than incredibly and almost no one has been able to predict this is it seems. His play has been lacking in other departments though, as many have expected his play with teammates was quite poor and so far he has only been able to gain one assist in 5 games, this is a stat that must pick up with Gebauer wants to be a valuable addition to the team and not only a goal scorer with little impact otherwise. Something that also needs to be considered is that even though his personal performance has been quite well his team is struggling to edge out wins against opponents and often succumb to teams that were not expected to be able to beat them especially considering Ottawa is the reigning champions of the league and losing some older players is no excuse to drop off so much.

In summary, we can say Gebauer can be proud of his performance so far but he needs to play more closely with his teammates helping them to get on the scoreboard and also his team in general should try and reward themselves with some wins.

We lost 90% of the team, not just "some older players" - unfortunately the VHLM tends to have very short cycles. The only guys we had left from last year were Matthews, Rzerk, Rasputinov, and Renner. Admittedly, all four of them have been doing decently so far (and Rzerk is on your line with 1 goal and 6 assists, so that partially explains your 9 goals and 2 assists). I'm expecting us to finish somewhere in the middle, and we are currently 3rd, but we lost 6 guys to the bigs and 4 more to redrafting. Over the course of the season, as some of the new guys that join the league, also pick us to play with, these guys will develop and fill out the roster a bit as well.

I mean you get an assist when you pass to the guy that can shoot and by some old players I was trying to make it sound less bad but admittedly yes you lost your core.

It'll be an interesting season, glad to have you on board though- season would be going much worse without you, Dahlberg, and Matthews, who are the three best forwards we have by a good margin
