Growing Pains [1/2]

[Jayrad28 396]

 

Only Four games into their inaugural season, the San Diego Marlins sit at a middling record of 1-2-1. It’s still very early into the new season but if they wanna make they playoffs they will have to amp it up. Especially in the goals department.

 

They’ve played some of the tougher teams in the league and played solid stretches of hockey, which is very encouraging considering this is the first time all these players have played together. Chemistry takes time. Their one win was against the Houston bulls, who are sitting without a win so far this season. In that game everything seemed to mesh well together, the line of Clarkson-Pearson-Wilcox was a tough customer in that contest, They combined for +7 and 4 points.Since then that line has stagnated. Their toughest loss was against a particular strong Philadelphia Reapers team. 

 

Notables

———————————

 

Greg Eagles: Seemed to shake off the rust as the games went on, You can’t blame him for the losses as he did what he could, He’s held the Marlins in every game and gave them a chance to win it, you can win unless you score goals. Even with his great start I wonder when Promising Young rookie Knox booth will get his first start.

 

Alex Pearson: He has 3 assists in 4 games and no goals yet which isn’t bad as it is his rookie season. Although his team worst -3 is a potential indicator his defensive game is still lacking. His ice time has taken dips at times when the coach has shown frustration with his defensive game. His offensive skills though seem to be adapting well. Hopefully the goals start coming soon.

 

 

Edgar Tannahill: Very good start to the season for him, he’s leading the team in scoring, tied with Sam Sparrow and Pierre Persson with 4 assists so far, another couple great revolutions this season for San Diego if they can keep it up.

 

 

Pierre Persson: Was a late Offseason addition that has paid dividends for San Diego. He’s shown he has the tools to be an offensive weapon from the blue line. If his defensive game improves he could become a top pairing guy pretty fast with Sparrow.

 

 

Phil Marleau: The Captain Has 2 Goals and an assist so far in this season. His leadership abilities have been on display showing why he was a good Choice for Captain. He Has 11 Shots with a 18.2 Shooting percentage. If he keeps that up he should be able to score 25-30 Goals this year. A very respectable number for the Captain.

 

Sam Sparrow: An absolute workhorse for them so far, Sparrow has shown flashes of brilliant offensive instincts so far this year, hoping to improve in his totals from last year as the team’s Number one defenseman. His Ice Time number have been insane so far this year but he’s proven he can handle it so far.

 

 

Overall the Team has shown flashes of brilliance and flashes of youth and inexperience. The lack of shots is concerning but hopefully that will improve when we get deeper into the season. Their getting offence from everyone as well. but their defensive game will need to tighten up unless Greg Eagles and Knox Booth can hold a Brick wall All Season.

 

Thanks for reading.
