L Scouting Report

[gorlab 4,321]

 

 

 

L is the twelfth letter of the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Its name in English is el (pronounced /ˈɛl/), plural els. However, as of S75 in the VHL, L is also the newest player from the gorlab player agency. A physical shutdown defenseman who has a big booming shot, L is the perfect foil to his twin brother and defensive partner R, who is a slick wheeling and dealing toe-dragging skill defenseman. Both of the brothers played their full VHLM season with the Mississauga Hounds and experienced a very successful campaign which showed that both L and R were ready to play at the VHL level. L finished the S74 VHLM season with 12 goals and 43 assists, for 55 points over the 72 game season. L also recorded 108 hits and 98 shot blocks and was tasked with matching up to the best opposition forwards every night for the Hounds. Despite finishing amongst the top teams in the regular season, Mississauga was upset in the playoffs, preventing L and his brother from winning the VHLM cup.

 

The S75 VHL Entry draft saw L and R drafted to the upstart Chicago Phoenix franchise at 4th and 6th overall, respectively. Chicago looks to secure the future of their blueline with the selection of the blue chip prospect brothers and so far it's looking like a fine fit. Chicago will be turning heads in S75 and beyond, and could be one of the first of their expansion class to experience legitimate playoff success.

 

L's Strengths

 

Defensive Awareness and Positioning - L's greatest strength is his ability to defend top forwards. His hockey IQ, positioning, and decision making are world-class and it's very rare that a forward will get the best of him in the defensive end of the ice.

 

Strength - L is a physical monster. He's tall, heavy, and likes to play a physical game. His natural strength is incredible and he's known to be an absolute gym demon. He's in the gym more than VHL Commissioner Beaviss, which is hard to believe.

 

Winning Pedigree - L is the 4th player in the gorlab agency and he will look to continue the success with at least 2 cup wins and will attempt to join Jet Jaguar as a VHL HoFer. L's pedigree is undeniable because of the legendary aura of his player agent.

 

 

L's Weaknesses

 

Skating - L has neglected his skating training and needs to work on that part of the game. Despite the modern game relying heavily on skating and speed, L manages to overcome his weakness with his strengths.

 

Passing - The passing of L should likely remain at 40 through his career. Why? Well, to see what STHS does of course. If shit goes bad, then some passing training may be in order for the big Ukrainian.

 

 

 

L and his brother look to set their sights on VHL history as they aim to have as much success in their careers as possible, to try and become one of the rare pair of brothers to grace the VHL hall of fame. Will it happen? Probably not, but these two Ukrainian bastards will give it their all in the process.
