Moscow Storms Out of the Gate

[Arce 755]

The Moscow Menace have started off the season strong with an 8-2-1 record. After a few mental bloops to Riga and Toronto, the team has found form. Ronan Lavelle is leading the way with 18 points (7G and 11 A) followed by defenseman Hammar Voss with (5G and 12A). After a slow start, Nico Pearce has climbed to the team lead in goals with 9, and 16 total points. Pearce coming off a hatrick is looking to get back into his MVP form. After a sluggish start and 25 PIM game, Tomas Sogaard has now climbed to just below PPG status with 10 points. He and Fraser Wallace both have 4G and 6A each which shows Moscow's forward depth. AK92 Wit da Hoodie is getting involved in the offense with his 8 assists. Hoodie has voiced displeasure in his own start, but being paired with Remy should help his cause. Moscow's most valuable player so far however is the man in between the pipes. Rookie Matt Murdock is shining to start off his first full season as a starter. Murdock has appeared in all 11 games so far, and has posted a .940 save percentage and a 1.80 GAA. Let's not forget the 2 shutouts he has already posted up as well. Moscow has a bright future with Murdock in net, and look like they should be a force as the season continues.
