CowboyinAmerica 2,735 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 New York -- Outside of a few upset victories over Moscow, not much has gone right for the New York Americans this season. Originally expected to be a fringe playoff contender, the Americans currently sit last in North America, 6 points behind second-year team D.C., with only Davos keeping them from the basement of the entire VHL. Perhaps chief among those who are struggling is second year defenseman Lance Flowers. Coming off a season where he won two VHL awards, pretty much all facets of his play have declined this season. Notably, he's been an absolute zero offensively - 2 goals and 4 assists in 22 games couldn't be further from the 52 assists he had in his rookie season. Overall, coaches and Flowers alike seem to be at a loss for words as to what's happened so far this season. New York has even experimented with moving him to the second line for something different, but nothing seems to have worked. "I put in the same amount of work this offseason, so yeah, it's a bit frustrating to not see it translating," Flowers said. "There are always ups and downs, so I just have to keep working in hopes that things get better. I really do hope that's soon though." The law of averages would seem to indicate that things may change for Flowers soon, but it may be too little, too late for New York. Still, that's not the worst thing. New York does own its own first in the upcoming draft, and especially with top players like Forest and LeGrande signing extensions, there's little worry of a mass talent exodus this offseason.

ThePerfectNut 563 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 For a guy that gets minimum 5 TPE every single week seems barely active I guess. Well at least he helps player saround him tremendously better, like what he is doing with the Titans right now unfortunately. And I believe that he would of been better then Hans Grub-something, Frans Eller and ur favorite Walter. They deserved a roster spot more? Aight bet!

ThePerfectNut 563 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 He has better odds to win the cup now so it's good that he got traded anyway. He produces super well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
