Moscow VHL Champs

[Da_Berr 219]

After a hard-fought 6 game series, Moscow is now the VHL champs of season 70. Moscow started the series slowly, only scoring 3 goals within the first 3 games (one of them being a shutout). Despite falling behind early in the series, trailing 2-1, Moscow found a groove in the last three games. Both games 5 and 4 had Moscow score 11 goals in total, completely breaking through Calgary's so far stellar defence. With the end in sight, Moscow was able to claim the coveted title of league champs in game 6, winning 2-1. In the playoffs leading up to the championship series, Moscow didn't encounter much resistance as they blew through the opposition, their only other loss coming from the Riga Reign. Leading Moscow through the playoffs this year was Jet Jaguar and Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen. Each of them hitting point totals of 21, through 15 games. Not far behind them was Randoms, with 19 points. This win also wouldn't have been possible without a stellar goalie in net. Raymond Bernard led the entire playoffs in Save % and GAA. Although some put his performance as a result of the stacked defensive core that Moscow has. Nevertheless, Moscow are now league champs and it's time for celebration.
