Pearson Struggles as season winds down

 

 

     At the start of his young Vhlm career, Rookie Alex Pearson showed drive, promise, intensity and passion for the game. In the past few weeks all that had vanished and all that’s left is one thing. frustration.

 

 

His offensive numbers has completely fallen off a cliff. He’s been 17 games without a point. He currently has 27 points in 53 games and is a -5. His defensive game isn’t as bad as it seems, it’s gotten better as the season has progressed but at the loss of his offensive talent. There were games he looked like a true superstar. Then the next game he was invisible again.

 

 

He's been riding shotgun to Balls McZharl the past few weeks and the chemistry is non existent. He’s shown frustration, smashing sticks and getting in altercations and taking stupid penalties. Which really isn’t helping his case. Especially in the last week or so of games he has made a boneheaded play at least once a game. Maybe that has to do with the season winding down and he’s just worn down. Most players are, and Pearson hasn’t okayed more then 30 games in a season before and we’re sitting at 53. He’s been smart with certain things, he does use his speed well to get in good areas to set up changes before line changes.

 

he needs to get his offensive game back, which I don’t doubt he will, but when is the question. I’m sure the Marlins would love it if he came back right as the playoffs rolled in.
