Into The Season, A Chat With Micha Sage [1/2]

[AcousticKazoo 73]

We are five games into VHLM Season 67, and we decided again to sit down with Ottawa Lynx Left Winger, rookie Micha Sage. First off, Micha thanks for sitting down with us again and letting us get your thoughts on the season thus far. Ottawa is four and one to start off the first five; What are your thoughts on the season so far?

Thanks for having me, again! Yeah, it feels really good to have that good of a record for the first five games. I think I was pretty nervous going into the first game, for sure. I made some silly mistakes, and was set on learning from my mistakes. I got my first goal of the season, which was a relief. Our first game against Halifax we ended up losing by three, but I think overall it was humbling to us, we learned so much from that loss and turned it around. The team is solid. I think we have a great core of capable players who will put up big numbers come the end of the season.

 

You mentioned scoring your first goal of the season, which is your first of your VHLM career. Can you elaborate on that? What was going through your mind before and after?

 

Oh man. Uh, a lot was going through my mind afterwards, I guess before I was really focused on creating a chance. Bernie made a good save from the face off in our own zone, Thorny did awesome picking it up and moving it up ice to Karaz. We had the momentum moving in, and Karaz fed me the puck and it ended up in the back of the net. Solid play by everyone.

 

You have six points after five games. What do you credit for that and are you hoping to make more of an impact with your scoring or tacking up more assists and being a playmaker?

 

I think credit has to go where it's due, and that's to our coaching staff and the great group of guys I have playing around me. Without my teammates looking to feed me the puck, I wouldn't have chances to put it in the net, so really I have to thank my team. I think our chemistry is where it should be, and I think if we can keep this up we will be a team that will be hard to beat. Uh, I guess it would be nice to make an impact with my goal scoring. I mean, whatever happens, happens, but obviously I want the team to win. If I get a few goals along the way, so be it, I will be happy as long as we are winning games.

Looking at your team, who do you see ending the season with the most goals?

 

Apart from me? Haha, only joking; Seriously, I think there are a few guys on the team who will put up some big numbers come seasons end. Wags, Hawk, and Minti Fresh are some names that I feel are going to be consistently scoring goals for us. Even though it's only five games in, don't be surprised if Parkey, Scott, Ras, and Eastwood start producing goals, too. Honestly, I couldn't be more blessed to be part of a great team, and I think we are going to turn some heads.

 

A pleasure as always, Micha. Look forward to chatting with you next time, and best of luck to you and the Lynx in your upcoming games.

 

Thanks!
