Legion Improving on OT/SO Play

[Corco 1,237]

TORONTO, Canada, - To put it simply, the Toronto Legion were awful in overtime and shootouts in Season 70. Whilst the Legion weren't the worst team in the league in overtime (the Prague Phantoms went 2-8 in the extra period), the Legion still had a losing record in OT, going 3-4. The Legion were however, without question, the worst team in the shootout in S70, only winning 3 out of their 12 games that went to the skill competition, bad enough for a .250 winning percentage. Going into the offseason, one of the main factors of their game that the Legion wanted to improve upon this season was their play in extra time, and so far into S71, it appears that they are on their way to achieving that goal. The S71 Legion currently maintain a .500 combined winning percentage in extra frames, going 0-1 in overtime and 4-3 in the shootout. The boys from Ontario look to be a possible dark horse playoff candidate this season, and if they wish to make that big step out of the rebuild their above-average extra time play will have to continue.
