What's this?

Aluma has skated by this year...

His teammates being better than last season has meant teams have singled him instead of doubling. So he has scored a lot despite being very poor on both ends

He has a lot of skill to override his lack of effort and attention, so you can look at a stat sheet and say "we he is scoring" but he could be miles better than he is...and him being miles better is the entire key to VT becoming a national-level team this year.

If he continues to be half-*** then VT will continue to skate by on skill when they can and get their **** pushed in when they cant

Do you mean Aluma's defensive effort? Seems he did a lot on offense -- Zanderhokie 12/04/2021 3:59PM

Which is what makes Ojiako not playing the more head scratching. -- IronBlood 12/04/2021 4:12PM

Agreed... -- GCHokie34 12/04/2021 4:36PM
