To be completely honest, I don't really follow what's going on in the SHL, as I'm completely focused on the minors and how my Anaheim Outlaws are doing. Everyone was wondering how the Outlaws would do under new management and with a lot of callups and a brand new defense. The team surprised early in the season, earning first place in the division after the first five games, but they were quickly back down to Earth after starting goaltender Vincent Mietitore was called up. The ten new players had rough starts and the SMJHL pace quickly caught them and most Outlaws were really tired. The team then slid down to the bottom of the division. However, with the rookies rapidly improving their play, the team is playing better than they were at the start of the year, winning more games as of late. For the rest of the year, Outlaws fans will hope the rookies game will improve as expected and it could be a sign of good things to come for the Californian team.
