                       Last night in Moscow, The Menace squeezed by the Prague Phantoms in what was another low scoring event, 2-1. The win brought Moscow back to .500 with a 6-6-1 record. Moscow continues to struggle scoring goals on the young season but Coach Victor isn't alarmed yet. "We have a young team with lots of talent. Things will take time but I'm confident in these guys" said Victor.

                      Prague struck first with a 1st period goal from Ben McGirr his 3rd on the season, assisted by Wolf Stansson Jr. and Cody Smith. In the second period, Moscow drew even with a Power play goal from Lucas Brandt his 2nd of the season, assisted by Alex Letang and Dean Clarke. In the 3rd Dean Clarke got the game winner, his 2nd and also on the power play, set up by Vladimir Palov and goaltender Raymond Bernard. Bernard also stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced to pick up the win.

                     Moscow will be back on the ice tonight as they faceoff against the expansion Los Angeles Stars in Hollywood. The Stars are 6-6-2 on the season and one point ahead of Moscow.
