Game 7 was much like game 6 as the Turku Outlaws put away the Moscow Red Wolves in the first period of the game. Canesco had 33 saves on 39 shots faced (.846 sv %) which was pretty good considering the output of the team overall. Scoring 5 goals over the course of 13 minutes and 46 seconds, it became readily apparent that the Red Wolves did not really show up to play. Moscow gave up 2 power play goals and was outshot 27 shots to 39 shots. The final score of the game was 6-1 in Turku’s favor where Moscow’s goal was scored in the 2^nd period, but fans were already leaving the stadium in the first period. This game demonstrated the end of possibly anything happening for GM Bruce Wayne’s future teams as the majority of his future assets were moved in-order to compile a stronger S38 roster.

 

 

Many of Wayne’s strong players will be moving on to the VHL though Moscow owns their VHLM rights, so we will probably see Moscow return to their bottom feeder ways unless something miraculously happens that turns around Moscow’s fortunes. It is an unfortunate ending for such a great season by the former Vasteras franchise, but “tis the way of ice hockey.” Both GM Bruce Wayne and Head Coach Anton Kudryashov gave closing speeches to their team talking about their achievements during the season and how proud these powerful men were of their players and that they wished them well on their future careers. It should be interesting to see how some of these Moscow players like forward Jackson Miller who is touted as one of the top S39 VHL draftees, and Cologne draftee, forward Steve Tremblay end up in their careers.

 

 

To end this playoff overview, I would like to share a quote with you that GM Bruce Wayne said to his players in the end of season team meeting that was taken from the famous British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

 

“Never was so much owed by so many to so few.”

 

GM Bruce Wayne thanked the players for giving him and the Moscow community a wonderful season of VHLM ice hockey and making Moscow proud of their franchise. They did not reach the ultimate goal of the cup, but the success they had will still be cherished for seasons to come. 

 

 

 

 

Also since I, KJA and Wayne's agent, have been relatively MIA over the last couple of weeks, I wanted to explain why. I have had a hospital internship for the last 3 weeks that has taken up my time from 0645 to 1700. When I get home, I have to work on some summer things my school has assigned me. I also am running an EHM league and a clan so its been really tough for me to keep up with doing Media Spots. Both Bruce Wayne and KJA have been yelling at me for being an awful agent and reporter, so hopefully I can be more active. I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to be apart of this community and I hope that both KJA and Moscow will do very well in the future! Thanks!
