After the completion of the preseason and scoring 6 or more goals in 6 of the 7 games combined with multiple 50+ shots outings it's clear QCC will be an all out offensive team. With all of this focus on offense while having 3 rookie defensmen on the roster Quebec City will rely alot on the performance of their two goalies: QCCBOT4 and Ela Solberg. They have to be absolute brickwallls to allow the rest of the team play run and gun. Luckily if the preseason turns out to be a reliable indicator they're allowed to let in up to 5 goals a night and still get away with the "W" most of the time. Meanwhile the Quebec offense is getting carried by its Top Line consisting of: Andrea Morandi, Cristoforo Roccamonepiano and Randolph Thompson-Smythe. During the preseason those 3 were not only the line with the most Letters but probably also with the most points, combining for 16 goals, 23 assists and 39 points in only 7 games. However on some nights the topline can't win a game alone. Everyteam needs scoring depth. Surprisingly this is where Rookie and recent Draftee Shiny Rainbow enters the picture. The speedster turned alot of heads by tying veteran Andrea Morandi for the team lead in 5 on 5 points while also being 2nd on the team by collecting 26 hits on the way. Both of them finishing the preseason with 4 goals and 5 assists in 7 games at even strenght.
So: Goaltending + Top Line + Depth Scoring = Championship |
