Robo Sven has spent this offseason largely the same as every other offseason since he has had his mechanical overhaul done. He has been poring over hours and hours of film, analyzing data and trying to update firmware to upload the best possible offensive attack patterns into his bionic limbs. It's obvious the adjustments he made last season weren't as effective as he hoped they would be, as he did have a bit of a sophomore slump. So it's time to pivot in a completely new direction and try to carry the Whalers to a Four Star cup win, although their previous season could hardly be viewed as a disappointment. However, Robo Sven knows he only has a couple more shots at a Four Star (again) so he has to make the most out of this season and potentially the next, as his future SHL career looms large. Vancouver looks poised to make a big step up this season, so we'll see if they can make some noise in a few weeks.
