Zoiderberg's 200th Game

 

Henrik Zoiderberg at the end of last season's playoff run, which saw The Seattle Bears win the S68 Continental Cup.

 

Seattle Bears mainstay and core player Henrik Zoiderberg is set to play his 200th career game tonight in Malmo, marking his 200th game in a Seattle Bears jersey. Zoids has amassed 111 points over his first 199 games as a Bear, and is looking to improve on his ratio. Zoiderberg was a member of the S68 Bears team that swept The Malmo Nighthawks in the Continental Cup Finals, earning the young team their first cup with the current core group. When asked about how he felt going into this 200th game against a team that has grown to be their cross-divisional rival, Zoiderberg had this to say,

 

"They're such a good team, you know? You don't get to the finals if you're not good. We had a few lucky bounces, and if a few had gone their way instead maybe we'd have beaten them in five or six intead of four. I'm honored to be going up against them for this milestone game, it means a lot to see their faces across the ice, knowing this is the team I've grown into my career playing against."

 

When asked about his more defensive deployment, Zoiderberg had the following statement,

 

"Mr. Banana, you know, he's such a good GM. He built this team from the ground up with the purpose of winning. He can put me where he wants. He knows I can shoot, but he also knows he can rely on me defensively in places where maybe some of the other guys might not be up to the task. It's a team game, and if I'm the guy you put on to cover all two hundred feet of the ice, then that's what I'm going to do. That's what a leader does."
