Pearson excelling, But needs to play smarter

[Jayrad28 397]

Philadelphia Reapers forward Alex Pearson, currently leading the team with 23 points.

 

The Philadelphia Reapers are off to a hot start to the season, sitting at 10-2-1 The Young group of players hope to make another strong playoff push and push for a repeat championship. Draft Gem Alex Pearson has taken the role of second line Center and ran with it, behind sheltered behind 2 way Forward Scotty BigShotty. Pearson has spent most of his time On a line with RJ Lloris and Bud Knight, and they have been very effective, In most area’s.

 

Pearson is a spark plug. He is feisty, gritty and isn't afraid to get his nose dirty to score some Garbage goals here and there.But it’s thay tenaciousness and Ferocity that has landed him in the sinbin for more then he’d like to admit. He landed a fighting major Early on, and had racked up some stupid penalty’s in Key Points of the game. He’s leading the league with 31 Penalty minutes so far this year. If he wants to continue to be used in a elevated role and keep up his dynamic offensive production, which is really helping the reapers. It is likely this lack of discipline in his play that has him cemented in the second line with little chance of moving up the lineup. If he wants more ice time he will need to tighten up his game quite a bit. Especially down the stretch as they get closer to the playoffs, His penalties could prove to be costly.
