Prompt 2

Season 62 marks Daryl Urquhart’s sophomore season in the SHL, and it has started none too shabbily. 

As was to be expected from a rookie (unless his name is Kermit Murphy), who was already way behind in terms of TPE, last season was rough at times. Finishing last season with 7 goals and 7 assists doesn’t look like great numbers, but as the far more defensive of the third pair, he wasn’t going to get as many looks. So far this season, despite still being the defensive one of the third pair, he has 2 goals and 4 assists after 17 games, keeping pace with the best of the Seattle blueliners and outscoring his more offensively minded line mate, who has a single assist to his name so far. Game ratings are up, although not too high. Solid, not spectacular is the watchword here! Nothing too flashy so far this season, from the player who had both a hat trick in his rookie season and scored the teams only short handed goal all season. Those were 2 offensive standouts in a season that severely lacked standout moment for Urquhart. Hopefully the rest of this season can build on a solid first week, and he can stand out a bit more going forward.
