Moscow Struggling to Finish Season

It has been a long season for everyone in the VHL, it is always a grind. However, for the Moscow Menace the grind has not been kind. In a season that started with so much promise, to many people’s surprise the Menace have finished the final stretches of the season poorly and are currently fighting for a playoff spot. Recently, having lost 5-3 to the Toronto Legion seems like they are still competitive against the best teams in the league. Looking closer at the game paints a bit of a different picture as they were down 5-0 before mounting a tame third period attempt at a comeback. Everything seems to be going wrong for them at this stage and it does beg the question whether they will be able to turn it around before it is too late. Word out of Moscow is that the coaching staff is using their recent struggles to liken the battle for points to how tough it will be in the playoffs. Who knows whether that holds any merit but we will find out before long.
