1. Any thoughts and comments on Moscow's season overall? Disappointing for sure, having not even made the finals. However, we gave ourselves a great chance to win just didn't quite get the luck. 2. Can Moscow be the best regular-season team three times in a row? Tough to say since we've had to part with some key pieces and the roster still isn't finalized, but you can trust Spartan to put together a team that'll make a run at it 3. What kind of effect the poor quality regular season games have on preparing for playoff hockey? (For example, In EU we had many poor teams this year) None. We've won before, we know what it takes. 4. Moscow has not made any trades yet, but multiple contracts have been signed - is this "the calm before the storm"- time? It absolutely turned out to be. How many teams who are considered among the best in the league have to part with their own drafted superstars like George Richmond? It's crazy. 5. What aspects of your game are you going to work on during this off-season? It's all about maintenance. I've found a build for David Rashford that's proved to be extremely effective, so everything I do will be about fighting off depreciation so I'm at the same place I was the last two seasons. 6. Vancouver won the cup, that means our former numer one goalie Olober Syko is now a cup winner, are you going to reach out to Olober to congratulate them on the cup victory? Probably not.

97 shots in a game seems reasonable to me.

I'll never look at you the same again

Rashford Left Stunned at the S95 VHL Ceremony It was a strange evening for David Rashford. Having suffered a bittersweet end to a stellar individual campaign, Rashford's off-season has been a down one. Wanting more than anything to captain Moscow to a repeat championship, he felt that he let the team down following the first round exit. He knew they had the talent and skill to win again, but things just didn't quick click come playoff time. Going into the award ceremony, Rashford knew he would be receiving two awards for counting stats with nothing having to have been voted on. He did wonder if his productive season would yield any votes in any other major categories, but assumed his teammate and longtime line mate Jarmo Rutuu would be receiving most of the MVP consideration as he thought he was the best player on the team. However, at the end of the award ceremony, Rashford was left staring at a long list of awards: Brett Slobodzian Trophy (Most Outstanding Player) Mike Szatkowski Trophy (Most Points: 127) Kevin Brooks Trophy (Most Goals: 56) Dustin Funk Trophy (Most Improved Player) "I'm stunned really," said Rashford. "To be voted the best player by my peers is the highest personal achievement there is. I'm also thankful to be recognized as improving as a player, given how much effort I've put into it."

1. What are your goals for the team's performance in S96? Will nothing short of a Cup do? 2. What are your goals for your player's performance in S96? 3. We're almost finished the off-season. What's one off-season improvement you would make if you were commissioner for a day? 4. We just had the awards ceremony and it was a healthy dose of Moscow Menace. What award will your player win next season and why? 5. Winter is coming up. Do you have any favourite winter hobbies? 6. If you're Canadian, how did you spend your thanksgiving? If not, then describe where you're from.
