5-4-1 Dragons Shock the VHL!

[KC15 340]

What a surprising start to S69 in the District!

 

Hopes are riding high among Dragons fans for a dramatically better finish in S69 than in their first season S68. If playoffs still seem to be a stretch, a shockingly better season that will turn heads around the league still seems a real possibility – maybe even likely.

 

In their inaugural season, the Dragons picked up 20 wins. So far this season, they already have 5 wins. Only 5 wins, but there have only been 11 games which puts the D.C. squad at 25% of their S68 season already with only approximately 15% of their games played. Their current pace would mean almost 36 wins, but even if they cool off some, 30 wins seems more than doable. That would be a 50% increase in win total in just one year and a real sign to the fans of great things to come.

 

And it only makes sense. Last year, the Dragons had Aaltonen, but now they’ve added an experienced Piotr Jerwa on the blue line and the VHL phenom forwards Benny Graves, Jeff Tates, George Washington, and Guy Lesieur. Goalie Block Buster and the rest of the S68 crew just keep getting better and so it only stands to reason that dramatic improvement is in the cards for the Dragons in S69.

Playoffs are a bridge too far, of course…...or are they?

I wouldn’t say this is too surprising. In this position I doubt they will “fall back to earth” because this looks like a typical middling record. Next season should be a big one though.
