Yukon Rush: Road Warriors

[BarzalGoat 728]

This week we're taking a headfirst dive into the VHLM, and namely the surging Yukon Rush. The Rush are lead by their top line of Leph Twinger, Sergei Kovalev, and Mikhail Vega, who account for a majority of this team's overall points. They are currently sitting pretty atop the standings at 55 points, 14 points ahead of the Oslo Storm, who have also played a couple more games than the boys in Yukon. At the almost halfway point of the season, it is unprecedented - I think - for a team to be running away with the lead, as they look to secure their second Founder's cup in 3 years. One would be remiss not to mention the two headed goalie tandem of Carison and Santos, who have been absolute stone walls in net for the Rush. While their high octane offense is what turns the heads, the stellar goalie and defensive play are what keep you watching. 

 

What makes them road warriors, is how they've managed to win all but one of their games away from Takhini arena. This will prove to be extra dangerous as we go into later parts of the season, where all other teams are playing catchup, and seemingly won't even have a chance to make a comeback. The Yukon Rush are a team to scout for all of the VHL GMs, as they're full of budding talents poised to have great VHL careers.
