Houston Bulls clinch playoff spot

[Elmebeck 378]

After 5 W 3 L 2 OTL in their last ten games, Houston Bulls have mathematically secured a playoff spot. The impetus now is to increase in standings, and perhaps position to match a higher level team that can be beaten in the first round, or even to be the top dog for the first round matchup.


@Dalton Wilcox scores the game winner against San Diego Marlins in OT.

 

The team is currently fifth in both power play and penalty killing, and a better yield there could certainly help them, experts say.

"Several of their OTL games and some of their losses are certainly to blame on the mediocre power play," a CBS analyst and talking head had to say in an analysis, "just one or two PP chances would have turned those games into their favor. Their PK is also not top notch, but the PP I think would pay bigger dividends."

Recent additions to the Bulls have been defenceman @frescoelmo and left-winger @Viperxhawks19 who have nicely evened out the squad, for this and next season. Meanwhile @Dalton Wilcox has been on a hot streak since mid-season, currently tied for goals in the league with 42 and fourth on points with 80 in 56 games.

GM @FrostBeard in a recent press conference offered, "I am very happy with where we are now, and we can focus on getting to the right place for a deep playoff run."

Houston Bulls also have three players in the upcoming WJC tournament, with @Sixersfan549 playing for Team Europe, @trevmi picked for Team USA and @Dalton Wilcox on the roster for Team World.
