Lynx Looking to Make Playoff Run

 

With the Lynx in a three-way battle for the second and third North American playoff spots in the VHLM, it became apparent something had to be done to solidify their spot.  While it was always clear that Ottawa was able to put the puck in the net, they had to find a way to keep the puck out of the net.  With a fairly weak and inconsistent goalie in Jimmity Kricket, a guy who is almost surely a career VHLM player at best, and only one defenseman worth any playing time in Jack Ryan, GM flyserfan turned to the waiver wire.

 

Through waivers, he picked up two solid season forty VHL prospects over the last week.  First, the Lynx picked up defenseman Jerrick Poole.  The Boston native is a strong defensive defenseman and was added to give the team more of a defensive presence and a better ability to keep opponents from getting so many strong opportunities each game.  A few days later, they also added a defensive player, this time a goalie in Ikier Manushez who, while also a very young and inexperienced player, has already displayed signs of being a clear upgrade over Kricket heading into the playoffs.  While they surely have a tough road ahead of them if they want to win the championship, one can certainly not say that the Lynx haven't done everything possible to improve their team.
