Dalat Eagles (Dalat Floorball Club)
Last seasons: 1st/4 (Div 2)
Last seasons: 1st/4 (Div 2)
Looking back at last season, Dalat Eagles had a very good Division 2 outing, which saw them beat Ztec 8cers 2 times and eventually becoming the champions of Division 2. However, this time round they have almost 80% of ‘new’ players, which Borak-Borak had not seen nor heard before, playing for them. Therefore, it is a tricky thing for us to post a team preview for Dalat Eagles since we, the pundits, hardly know anything about them. We shall try our best though!
The Eagles have put up a side with the average age of 32 for most players in their team. Just by that fact, it shows their weaknesses - speed and stamina. 32 is not that old really, but to be playing against other younger, speedier, physical and competitive in this league will indeed be a major obstacle for them. This side will have to be good at moving the ball around, because there is almost no chance for them to match their opponents in terms of speed, other than Sasi of course. And with games being held on weekdays, the thought of Sasi coming down to Penang for league matches are slim, unless he plans to stay here for the time being. Chances are we will get to see him in one or two of the matches.
However, the advantage they have from that is experience, providing that all their 'new' players aren't too 'new' to floorball. If our assumption is right and that their players are experienced, then it would definitely help compensate their lack of speed and stamina. It would help smoothen out their movements and play-ups without the need of executing too many unneccessary and wasteful runs. And with the games being played in a court as big as Balik Pulau indoor stadium, you cannot afford to run like headless chicken.
You won't last.
Key Player:
Sasitheran. Or better known as Sasi is one of the earliest to pick up Floorball in Mas but has since then been tied up by other commitments.
Famed for his lighting pace, some of the seniors in PFL had first hand experience to tell you that his is the fastest player then ever known. Even more famous for his outrageous air hooks. Together with his speed, a humiliation package is always ready for dispatch, 24/7. In a blink of an eye, you'll be picking up the ball from your net.
Rising Rookie:
Unable to comment due to insufficient information.
Predictions
Bendy:
Other than a few, the whole team is an unknown to all.
How will they fare?
With Edwin and Jason Selva providing cover behind and with Sasi runnng the solo show up front, it would be more than enough to keep them alive in D1. Maybe even spring some surprises along the way.
4th looks achievable but others are eying for that spot as well. How often can Sasi appear will determine their final placing.
Jose:
All eyes will be on their star player on whether he will be able to make it for the league matches. If Sasi misses most of their matches, there is every chance for Dalat Eagles to get relegated this time round, unless their unknown players are ex-ice hockey players or are players that previously play in Sweden or Finland.

Otherwise, Edwin - Dalat Eagles' goalie will be a busy man in goal to help keep Dalat Eagles in the game as much as possible. This goalie is known for his acrobatic save selections and should be quite interesting to watch.
Spritzer:
Very hard to predict simply because it's a mysterious team, for now at least.
We don't know many of their players and haven't seen them played as a team.
But if they are half as good as their Division 2 team last year, they'd probably be chasing 4th to 5th placing.
