DC off to rough start

[STZ 5,360]

Washington, DC.

 

The new season brought hope to the city of Washington, and the new VHL expansion team in DC. Hopes were high that S72 would be the year they finally turn into legitimate contenders. With a stacked roster and a sophomore goalie, the Dragons have come out of the gate rather lackluster. They currently sit tied in last place with another VHL underachieving team in Moscow. Is this a VHL Bizzaro season or are these two teams just not built to win?

 

The belief out of DC is that they are still in it. There are a lot of things that they know they need to do differently, but playoffs, a championship - it is still not out of the realm of possibility. DC center Benny Graves has been outspoken himself about his own play.

 

“I need to be better, we need to be better as a team in front of Wolski. The VHL is as competitive as it has ever been. There are no free ins anymore. We need to take advantage of this opportunity and perform better than expected. I know I can and will be better. We have had a lot of team discussions - there will be a turning point. There will be a different team in the latter half of this season.”
