Battle of S98 VHL Heavyweights - Toronto vs Moscow (Game 409)
 

In a highly anticipated match up of the conference leaders between Moscow Menace @Spartan and Toronto Legion @dstevensonjr, the teams did not disappoint. An early delay of game penalty taken by Toronto netminder, Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty, resulted in a goal by Moscow's first power play unit just 12 seconds into the power play by Jillian Woods @jacobcarson877. But Vidarsson would redeem himself stopping the next eight power plays over the course of the game. Toronto would fight back half way through the 1st with a tip-in by Raimo Tuominen @SlapshotLegion from a shot by Spanish Moon Moth @Renomitsu. And the first period would end 1-1 with shots as 13-12 Moscow. 

In the second period, the Menace's offense was clicking with 26 shots and 2 goals and a 3-1 lead at the end of 40 with goals from Carson Tripp @Cartripp14 and Pombo @samx. In the third, Toronto would storm back with a power play goal of their own at 8:03 by Dorji Khan @Oddpurplefly. And Toronto would pull their goalie with 1:55 left in the game and with the extra skater just coming on, Raimo Tuominen rips it past Deadpanda @Alex to tie the game. A very exciting overtime had both teams unable to get the puck past the opposing net minders. 

In the shootout, Obuz Schneider Canet du Bocage @Grapewould beat Dalkr Vidarsson on Moscow's first attempt. With no other skaters scoring, it was all Moscow needed to clinch the battle of heavyweights this season. If they meet in the Continental Cup, we all hope a 7 game series with games this intense.

Our 3 Stars of the Game
Raimo Tuominen @SlapshotLegion was the 1st star with 2 goals including the critical game-tying goal in the last few minutes of the game. 
Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty was the 2nd star with a stellar 55 saves and gave Toronto a chance to tie the game late.
Maverick Goncalves @leandrofg was the 3rd with assisting the two goals that gave Moscow the lead twice early in the game.
