Looking back at the season that was - Moscow Menace

[nerji 130]

When Jeff Lewis was drafted by the Moscow Menace they were a pretty solid team, being drafted into a strong team was pretty exciting even with a core that was perhaps aging by some accounts. Hoping to perhaps go for one last ride before a rebuild was attempted was an intriguing prospect for Jeff Lewis.

 

All that would change when the team would start to sell off it's top players for future draft capital. Hopes of competing for a championship then turned into hopes of being part of a solid rebuild. The team acquired several top draft picks and appeared poised to rebuild and come back strong in a couple of seasons.

 

For season 90, the team struggled going 29-40-3 for 61 points which was fourth worst in the VHL. While it was a bit disappointing, it's still better than I thought we'd do. There was a decent showing in goals for with some players showing flashes of brilliance like Left Alone (72 points in 72 games) Fraser Wallace (67 points in 72 games) and Babay Shrimp (66 points in 54 games).

 

Next season looks to add some more youth to the roster and will hopefully see the team compete a bit more as the rebuild continues.
