[UPDATE] Rashford Surprising: Leading Moscow in Scoring

A week ago an article was written about the surprising performance of David Rashford who was, at the time, leading the Moscow Menace in scoring having completed roughly 20% of the season. It was an article written with the knowledge that it was a "cool" story for something that would soon be expected to change. Rashford had spent the off-season getting bested in the most improved player award, so it's not as if the expectations were high for them. Every player hits a bit of form during the season and Rashford just seemed to have his at the beginning of the season. Fast forward another handful of games, however, and the story may not be the cute little blip that people thought. No, in fact Rashford is once again tied for the league in scoring for Moscow (with Jarmo Rutuu) who both sit five points ahead of third place with 36 points. Rashford by virtue of having more goals (13 vs. 10) is technically the leader of the team again and while no one expects him (dare they at this point though?) to keep his current pace of 104 points in the season, one thing that's absolutely clear is that Rashford has proven to be a vital part of this team that is contending for a championship. Who would've thought that for an unsigned draftee just a few years ago eh?
