Peace 1,518 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) TORONTO, ONTARIO -- Let's not get carried away, alright? Toronto is enjoying their position as the Victory Hockey League's top team, but the sheer reality of the situation is simple: There is a lot of the season left, and their explosive start will be contained by other teams fairly soon. A huge part of their success right now -- not to take away from anyone else -- has been the extraordinary play of Jaxx Hextall between the pipes. Hextall leads the league with an impressive .940 save percentage, while also facing just shy of one hundred additional shots than the second leading goaltender on the list with the same amount of ice time and shots against: Lafontaine from Calgary has a .932 save percentage and has faced 99 less shots than Toronto's reigning all-star goaltender. Now we do acknowledge that Bernard has a .939 save percentage as well, but he's only played twelve games and the comparison would require averages that I am way to lazy to do. Not only has Toronto's starting goaltender been absolutely lights out, but the entire team has come around and started producing after a rather disappointing season yester-year. Chad Magnum is on pace to finish the season with 66 points, a major improvement over his forty five from season seventy one; new comer Anthony Matthews has anchored the second offensive line well, and will be soaring into a career finish; Erik Killinger's move to D has benefited the team, and he seems to be on pace for a career season himself; and finally Teemu Lehtinen Jr has paired nicely with Matthews, and is on pace for a career season too! If there was one thing GM Peace could improve, it would be the top defensive pairing and giving Magnum another capable winger to increase the threat of the first offensive line. The season is early... but Toronto is enjoying this moment for now. Edited May 28, 2020 by Peace Corco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
