I, Jakub Alexa, had a crazy season. I signed a $4,000,000 contract with the Yukon Malamutes during the season. The situation in the gate looked like this: Phemeia McLaughlin was starter and rookie Jökull Magnússon was backup. After they signing the contract with me, Jökull fell into the role of the third goalie and I had a chance to fight for the starter role. In my debut, Yukon lost 2-5 against Detroit and I made 18 saves on only 23 shots. In my fourth game, I had first loss in shootout (3-4) against St. Louis. Finally, in my 9th game, I earned my first career win against Anchorage (3-2). At the end of the regular season, I had 31 games played, 17 wins, best save percentage in the league (91,7%), my goal against average was 3,05 and I had also 1 shutout. Yukon ended the regular season in the 3rd place in Northern Conference (8th in the league) and faced Newfoundland Berserkers in the 1st round. I was in gate the entire playoffs and Yukon defeated
Newfoundland 4-2 in the 1st round, then Malamutes had a huge comeback in the 2nd round against Grizzlies (from 1-3 to 4-3) and sadly they lost in the Conference final against Knights 2-4. But I had a great rookie season. I exceeded not only my own expectations, but also the expectations of others. I should improve my glove and blocker skills. My most memorable moment of this season was the huge comeback in the 2nd round against Great Falls Grizzlies (when we turned the series from 1-3 to 4-3). |
