What's the Deal With DC?

[DollarAndADream 3,356]

The DC Dragons have had a rough start to the season, with a record of 3-7-1. That's good for the 2nd worst team in the entire VHL. Looking at their roster, you would think they would at least be a middle of the pack team, if not in the top 5-10 range.

 

Their 3 wins this season have come against some good teams for sure. One of those was a 3-2 win against the 6-5-0 Prague Phantoms, one was a 8-5 win against the 8-4-0 Seattle Bears, and the last was a close 3-2 win against the Chicago Phoenix. So basically, their 3 wins have come against 3 types of teams. A top 3, a middle of the pack, and a dead last one. These are definitely some odd times for the DC Dragons.

 

Their most recent games have been a 3-0 loss against the Calgary Wranglers, and a 3-2 win against the Prague Phantoms. Against Calgary, DC was outshot 26-13 with Stone Wolski saving 23 of 26 while Jacques Lafontaine had a 13 save shutout. While those are some low shots for the Dragons, Wolski still should have played better than that.

 

In the game against Prague, DC outshot them 33-27. Wolski saved 25 of 27, while Virgil Ligriv saved 30 of 33. Those are better numbers for Stone Wolski there, and his performance seems to be a bit of a key in winning for the Dragons in a lot of games.

 

If one thing is for sure, it's that Stone Wolski will need to improve on his consistency if the Dragons want to turn things around. One would think that having a Benny Graves and Boris the Forest on forward, and a Luciano Valentino on defense would be enough to have them win more games, but that has not been the case. Wolski's training numbers aren't exactly bad either, and are better than JB Rift's were when he was playing well for DC.
