Swegs MVP

My MVP for tonights game might be a controversial pick, i mean how could you pick a player from the team that lost 0-4? Well, i can and i will. Oliver Klozoff is the MVP of the game, this because the winning team didnt have any standout performance, while Klozoff is the only reason the game didn't end up a lot worse than 0-4. Klozoff was tied for most icetime with 22:41. He played a big amount of PK and PP, was only a -1, while shooting, having 4 hits and 4 shots blocked. He is my MVP and he should definitely get some recognition for his hard work, keeping it a fairly low scoring game.



Swegs post game Interview


Sweggy is back with another hot interview, this time with Detroit goaltender Emiko Spector who just earned a shutout.

Hello Emiko, Congratulations on the shutout! How are you feeling?

Hello and thanks Sweg! It feels great, though i have to admit that i didn't have too much coming my way so 15 saves might not be THAT impressive.

15 saves on 15 shots sure are, the game wasn't close in the score but that performance can be the difference between getting a W and a L. With Detroit being one of the favourites for the cup this season i'm guessing the Detroit fans are expecting more of this?

Haha yes i'd imagine they do. Don't get me wrong i'm happy about the performance, it's easy to lose focus when there aren't a lot of shots against you but we got it done.

Thank you Emiko.



Swegs sweggy Trivia

This is the second game between the two teams this season, with Detroit taking it come both games, continuing the trend from last season where Detroit took home 4 of the 6 games. Halifax has only managed to score 2 goals in 120 minutes of playtime. Detroit is a very experienced team though. They didn't draft any players before the 7(!) round this recent draft, using their picks to trade for established players, effectively telling everyone that they are going for cups rather than development. They (Detroit) are clearly the favourites to win it all this season and it's showing in the standings.
