THE Encarnacion Hopes For Big Improvements In Season 71

[Tagger 2,722]

It was always going to be difficult for Edwin THE Encarnacion heading into his first VHL regular season. Joining a very deep defensive core on the Calgary Wranglers, THE Encarnacion spent a lot of his first season on the third line (although he would later get second line minutes towards the end of the season and through the playoffs) and didn’t play a single minute on special teams. However with the trading of Cody Smith (the player who moved down to the third line upon THE Encarnacion’s promotion), the Dominican defenseman now finds himself as the team’s fourth best defenseman, meaning he will see a lot more ice time than the 12 minutes per game he saw last season. What will also serve as encouragement for the young (except not really because he’s 50) defenseman is that while his minutes were low, his P/20 of .39 was significantly better than other S70 defensemen who were playing more minutes.

 

So basically, THE Encarnacion for Most Improved Player S71, thank you very much.
