Hextall relieved to finally win a game

[ROOKIE745 604]

As has been covered, the Legion wen through a rough patch..... a very, very rough patch of 11 straight looses, only 1 of which was in overtime. The mood in the locker room was quieter than it had ever been, every player knew the seriousness of the situation. They we're on the verge of falling out of the playoffs. One can imagine the frustration every player feels but Hextall seemed to take it rougher than any other. "To be frank my performance has been pathetic" He said in a interview after a 5-6 loose to Davos, a game that he was pulled from. Hextall of course wasn't in net for every loose but he was in net for most of them. Several games saw him get pulled or their backup get pulled showing that every aspect of the team was struggling. "It's times like this where I need to pull through and steal the team a win or 2, to not let that 1 goal in, prevent these kind of long loosing skids" 5 of the 11 looses were by 1 goal which just adds to the frustration. The Legion we're sitting comfortably in a playoff position but this slide has left them just 1 point ahead of the Wolves. Thankfully the team's latest match was against the Wolves and knowing how important the game was they finally earned themselves a win. "The whole team played well which is what we needed" Said Hextall who saved 32 out 34 shots for a .941 save percentage. "We need to play like this and even better for the last 6 games if we want to stay in the playoff race" Here's hoping the Legion have found their form again.
