Moscow starts off shaky 19 games in

[Telkster 550]

A 9-10-0 record is not what the Menace were hoping for just over a quarter of the way into the season. Despite the team defense doing a good job as a whole with the second best goals against in the league, the mighty offense that Moscow has been known for in recent years is the complete opposite of the defense. 49 goals in 19 games is a little under 2.5 goals for per game. Even with league scoring being generally low, that is still not an acceptable stat. Moscow are just a small handful of points outside of a playoff spot, giving them every shot of making the playoffs. But with Moscow sitting in the bottom of the EU conference, it will be no easy task to claw out a playoff spot, let alone be the top dog in the EU when the post season rolls around. Now I could immediately jump to trade options/possibilities for the Menace to sell, but I don't know what plans Victor has or is thinking about, so there is no point in starting any rumors. Once the season progresses more and the TDL approaches, the picture might be more clear for Moscow. Right now, there is plenty of time to go with the flow of the sim schedule and see where the chips fall.
