Uhtred finally scores as special teams powers bears to the top

[leafsman 207]

Uhtred finally ended his goal drought drought this past week scoring 3 after going blanking the week before.  Uhtred now has 5 goals on the season which puts him on pass for 10 goals or about half the total in his rookie season. The season hasn't being going well for him personally but all he cares about is winning.  "I wish I was scoring more but we are winning and that's what matters most." The bears have been playing well lately after their usual slow start out of the gate.   For some reason the bears seem to take it easy the first week of Sims before ramping it up.  The bears sit first in the VHL, one point ahead of division rival Calgary.   The strength of the bears so far this season is thier special teams.  They are leading the league in penalty kill and rank third in the powerplay.  There is the old adage that your goaltender is your best penalty killer and the bears are no exception.  Ray funk leads the league in save percentage when excluding guys who have played less than 10 games.  The strength of the bears powerplay comes from the blue line as berocka sundqvist and hulk hogan have 6 goals each to go along with forward Scott Greene's 8th.   The bears play of late has shown that they are a threat to defending thier title
