The Mexico City Kings have had the toughest schedule for the VHLM season so far. They started with the smallest roster compared to all the other teams and players are averaging 25 to 30 minutes per game. The Kings have handled this adversity quite well considering the mountain they are trying to climb. They have managed to make acquisitions and their goaltender, Wrike Chyrnoble, has been standing on his head and this is the main reason the Kings are not in the cellar. As a matter of fact they are starting to climb up in the standings and are currently tied for sixth! Not only are they tied for sixth but they are into a very soft part of their schedule. First up was the Mississauga Hounds, and the Kings took care of them with a final score of 5 to 3. Next was the, Yukon Rush and being that they are in next to last place the Kings were expecting somewhat of an easier time. However, the Rush pushed the Kings to a Shootout and the Kings were able to come away with a victory. A two game winning streak after coming off a heartbreaker to Philly who boasts one of the best records in the league for second place in the standings. The Kings get to play back to back games against the hounds next and expect to be able to move up the standings a bit more. After that they have the Las Vegas Aces and the Aces have struggled as well this season posting up a losing record so far. They are currently 9-14-2 but are starting to make a move with a two game winning streak of their own. One thing we have noticed about the Kings is that they are not only picking up some players to add to their roster but the rookies on the roster are starting to make a move to gain massive TPE which should help in the near future. Hopefully the Kings can correct the shots on goal differential and that should be the deciding factor for the Kings to become a serious contender for the cup this year!
