Yukon Recovers After Shaky Start

 

There is no doubt that the Yukon Rush are one of the favourites for success this year in the VHLM. For that reason, many of us were surprised when we watched their first game of Season 37 and saw them lose to the Moscow Red Wolves in a hard-fought 5-3 game. 

 

A shot of the Yukon Rush after losing to the Red Wolves in their first matchup of Season 37.

 

The Rush seemed to be playing individually, rather than as a team. It was clear that the Rush needed to spend some extra time on the practice ice and build some chemistry before they played again. It seems as though the coaching staff of the Rush agreed. We have now seen the Rush play 3 more games and we have seen steady improvement each game.

 

First, the Rush took on the Wild. While their play still seemed a little disorganized, it was definitely an improvement over their first game. They ended up taking the victory 5-3, although they outshot their opponents by a landslide.

 

Next, we saw the Rush go up against the Lynx. Once again, a definite improvement. The Rush were passing much better and their play seemed to be a lot more structured. This time they won 2-1 with both goals coming in the second period. 

 

Finally, we saw sheer domination by the Rush in the game against the Blades. This is more like the team we were all expecting to see after the draft. This one ended 8-1 for the Rush. 

 

If the Rush continue to improve their gameplay at the rate at which they have been this week, they will without a doubt be a team to keep a very close eye on as the season progresses.
