The Mystery of Matteo

[tunedtorock 27]

Minnesota is 20 games into S65 and Matteo has been, eh a most.  9 goals and 4 assists for 13 points has him tied for 2^nd on goals for the Storm, however his -10 on ice is raising some eyebrows.  Ever since he was picked up during the dispersion draft from Halifax he hasn’t been the same.  Perhaps the move just took him off guard and he’s still recuperating from it.  It was unexpected for him to be listed as inactive as he played a dynamic role to get to the Finals with the 21^st last season.  There’s still a ton of games left in the season but in his second year in the VHLM he has to find his groove before it’s too late.  With 3 game winning goals Matteo knows when to be clutch, now does he know how to be consistent?  

 

Minnesota sits in 5^th after 20 games with Ottawa, Huston and even Vegas still within reach.  Something has to start clicking soon, 4 of their 10 wins so far have been one goal games.  The Storm have a double header against Ottawa next, let’s see if they can jump into the top 4 through this, otherwise their coach is going to have to look at some changes again.
