Moscow Menace struggle as the race for top spot tightens

[Telkster 550]

Moscow have had a disappointing fall from grace after being second in the league just a couple of weeks ago. Moscow now sits 5th in the league with the top goals for at 117 in 34 games. Moscow's defense seems to be a glaring issue with the 4th worst GAA with 93. The race for 1st has tightened up drastically, with just 9 points separating 1st place (Helsinki) and 7th place (Riga). Telker has had a slow start to his new promotion to the 2nd line. "I'm not playing well and I wanna change that, the whole team including me has to step up. You won't get anywhere in this league playing .500 hockey, and that's what we've been doing lately". A trade may seem logical for Moscow for a defensive sound player or 2 that could also jump up on offense. But that depends if they go for it this year or decide to rebuild.
