3352 miles. 5395 kilometers. What will be different in Las Vegas?

 

"Everything," stated Bislimi. The promising Albanian wing was shipped off in the recent VHLM Draft to play for the Aces. Lek had some comments about the transition he made. "I feel like I've visited 3 different planets in a very short time span," he said. "Albania is a little less safe than my future destinations but it's my homeland and I loved to play hockey there. Going to Halifax was a dream, the GM needed help on the wings and he discovered me while on a prospects tour in Europe. Halifax was cold and quiet, I liked it that way. But then came Las Vegas."

 

Bislimi was asked about the differences between Halifax and Las Vegas. "The cold and quiet place was gone and it's replacement was a crazy place with lights and mountains and deserts and noise and everything that Halifax doesn't have. The team style is also a bit different. In Halifax, they were stricter and very sharp. Here in Vegas, the Aces are very laid back. I'm not sure what style suits me the best yet, but I do know that Halifax is missing out on this casino thing."

 

This press conference with Lek was recorded in the offseason and translated to English while he was in Albania for vacation.
