Pizza Homicide - Samurai Pizza Cats

Realistically you should watch the music video, it's pretty amusing.

 

I think the last time I wrote a vhl.com, it was to bemoan some surprising starts for Moscow and Nico, albeit in opposite ways. Moscow was slumping from an 0-4 start to the season while Prague was surging out of the gate despite playing fewer games than most teams. We're mostly in the positive side of things now with Prague and Moscow sitting in 2nd and 3rd in the EU respectively. The EU is once again an insane slugfest - Riga in last place would likely be a playoff team in NA if Hedge hadn't been on vacation and could have tweaked lines after a slow start.

 

It's nice to see Nico once again playing up to his old MVP standards, even if he has more help around him in the form of Perry Laperriere and John Jameson. One of the few requests from the young Jameson was that Pearce play alongside him on the ice, and the duo have certainly performed well together. Despite playing up to 3 games fewer than other teams, the duo along with Laperriere have been mainstays in the top 10 of league point scorers. Laperriere is fighting with former Phantom Nils Godlander for 1st place in the goals category as well.

 

On the Moscow side, Ronan Lavelle has taken a massive step forward in his second season with Moscow - currently leading all VHL players with 31 points in just 21 games. Both he and Tomas Sogaard, another hidden talent on Moscow, are also in the top 10 of VHL goal scorers. Defenseman AK92 Wit da Hoodie has exploded onto the scene as well, leading the VHL in assists with 24, and is in 2nd place for defenseman scoring. Even Hammar Voss has recovered from a slow start to the season to sit in 6th place in defenseman scoring, just 5 points behind the leader. 

 

Personally, it'd be extremely satisfying to see both Prague and Moscow leapfrog surprise EU leader Helsinki and battle for the top seed for the remainder of the season. It's already been gratifying to see Moscow and our players claw back from a 0-4 hole to sit in 3rd place, but we all know the battle will continue for another 60 games.
