Trivium's slow start, analyzed

[der meister 3,188]

With just four goals and 11 points in 16 games for the London United, this is not the start that many, including The Terrible Trivium himself, had envisioned. "It sucks," Trivium said bluntly. "I put in a ton of work during the offseason, we made some huge trades, but the chemistry just isn't there right now. That sort of thing can take time, unfortunately."

 

On pace for just 18 goals this season, which is barely more than half of his career low, Trivium revealed that he recently spoke with United General Manager McWolf. "I told him that whether it's bad luck or whatever, I feel like I'm holding the top line back from doing their best. (Center Chad) Magnum is able to create a lot out there, but we're just not clicking. Same with (Erik) Killinger. Time to mix stuff up and see if we get any traction." All three players have an identical 11 points in 16 games.

 

Center Julian Nousiainen and offseason blueline acquisition Hugh Jass are leading the charge with 21 and 18 points respectively. Interestingly, Nousianinen and Trivium have combined for 5 points in the last two games, since Trivium asked to be moved to the second line next to the rookie center. "Maybe we've got something there," Trivium said. "Hopefully we figure it out soon and start putting up some big wins."
