Peace 1,518 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 DAVOS, SWITZERLAND -- Rylan Peace has become the latest in a long line of VHL players to get frustrated with their clubs early performance, especially when said club should be dominating the standings with the roster they have. After multiple line changes, strategy adjustments and changing game plans it can be understandable from a player perspective why they'd get upset, and Peace is only human, so like us all he experiences the emotions too. "It's been tough," The Davos center admitted. "We've tried different lines, even old lines, to see if we could get the chemistry going again but nothing is there. It's like the entire team shed its skin and is uncomfortable with it now. It certainly wasn't the start we were anticipating, and after the trades conducting in the off-season, we honestly anticipated we'd be one of the top teams in the league - if not the top team." "On paper - with the additions of Crimson, Slade, Dragomir and the improvement of everyone else - we should have been dominating teams, controlling the puck far more than other teams, and it gets frustrating because we are." Peace said, supported by the advanced stats the club has been tracking. They've dominated teams, averaging just a nick under 60% Corsi combined with respectable Fenwick and PDO stats that display the team has the puck more than others. "I'm confident we'll snap out of... well what ever this is." Peace concluded. "Maybe we need a bowl of Lucky Charms, eh? That's the tactic now, eat a bowl of sugary cereal before every game." The Swiss team has gone 10-11-2, sitting outside of a playoff position once again at the one/third mark of the season, but if analyzing stats tell us anything they should correct themselves naturally as the season progresses. Davos has the talent, they've got the stars, maybe they need time to adjust to one another and build off each others strengths. Or could it be - perhaps - that Davos has been cursed, just like VHL teams in the past, after winning their first championship not-so-long-ago? There is a positive to the storm right now. At least the grass will look green when it stops, right? DMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
