a tale of two Brothers // Marching on

[Daniel Janser 1,975]

Swiss Central Gazzette (Marcel's stats/Daniel's stats)

 

The Redcross native brothers played four games a piece since last we reported from them. Please find summaries of the respective matches here below:

 

Marcel's @Morcar80 21st faced the Aces first. This match was very tight, yet still a loss for Halifax with a final score of 4-3. The Nova Scotians opened the score 6:20 minutes into the game when Von Strangle @Timmy Turner(Warrior, Hagel) scored his tenth of the season. Before the intermission, Vegas was able to tie the game in power play. In the middle period Crumb's @Crummer77(leclerc, AL) goal was bracketed by two Aces goals. In the final period it was McMuffin @Ente2997(Leblanc) who found the back of the net, however the Nevadans answered with a goal of theirs for the final score. The three stars were Skambraks @CSkams15 (2g/1a), Galvins @Girts (1g/1a) and AL @bigAL (0g/1a). McGleis @lukechezzwoo (.892) kept his team in the game while Price's @Thunderidge (.875) average performance was enough for his team to win the game. The Halifax's special teams cost the squad a well deserved point and maybe even two as neither penalty kill (1/2) nor power play (0/5) were up for the task.

Marcel was recorded with 0g, 0a, -1 and 26:46 TOI (second most of the team)

 

The next match was against Mexico City and again was lost with the smallest of margins, this time 3-2. The Kings were first on the board and held onto that lead until the first intermission. In the second period the 21st scored a brace by Warrior @KnightRiley (Hagel, Von Strangle) and Door (AL, Crumb). The former was traded in the interim to Saskatoon in exchange for a 1st round pick in S83, the latter is a new acquisition from the Aces in exchange for Rockwell. In the third the Kings delivered the deathblow with an early goal, which Halifax was unable to reply to. Lambert @Minoulambert23 (2g/0a), Tanky @Franki026 (0g/2a) and AL (0g/1a) were named three stars of the night. The netminders duelled on an adequate level with Tsezar @comrade cat (.913) having the edge over McGleis (.842). The 21st's box play was perfect (2/2), their power play was not (0/2).

Marcel had 0g, 0a, -1 and 24:46 TOI (second most of his team)

 

The third game was the rematch against Mexico with the same result: 3-2 for the Kings. Halifax scored their two goals by Von Strangle (Janser, Warrior) and Crumb (Logue, Von Strangle) early in the game, but unfortunately could not keep up the pace. They allowed three unanswered goals and had to concede the game accordingly. The three stars were Accardi @LRJA (2g/0a), Von Strangle (1g/1a) and Lambert (0g/1a). Tsezar (.846) had the slightly lower saving rate as newly acquired Wumbo @Fire Vigneault (.864) in Halifax' net. Wumbo was acquired in a trade together with a 2nd and a 6th round pick in S83 in exchange for Zininger @ScoreAGoalBudEh and Leblanc @Horcrux.

Marcel was credited with 0g, 1a, +0 and 26:44 TOI (second only to AL)

 

Marcel's final encounter for this issue was against Saskatoon and ended in a 4-2 loss. Hagel @jasplunds (AL, McMuffin) put his colours in front during a power play. Alas, the Wild equalized the game before the first horn. The second period also ended with a 1-1 draw with AL (Logue) scoring in the final seconds of that period. While, this was all of Halifax' contribution on the score board, Saskatoon was not done scoring yet and found the back of the net another two times in the third period. Jackson @Slick (1g/1a), Johnson @MrMonkey (2g/0a) and Buffy @Strider (0g/2a) made it onto the podium for this match. Wumbo (.846) lost the tending competition against Saucey @ToooSaucey(.900). The 21st's  power play was good (1/3) their penalty kill still had room for improvement (4/6).

Marcel recorded 0g, 0a, +0, 2sb and 27:13 TOI (most of his team)

 

Daniel's Storm played their first match against Cologne and won 5-2. Pandora @PandaBearD25(3rd, Puhovs) scored in power play to open the proceedings. This was the sole goal of the first period. Nezuko (Pandora, Knale) scored early in the second, an other power play goal. However, the Express scored two back-to-back goals to even the score. Janser (3rd, Pandora) with the game winner and a beautiful deke followed by a backhand topshelf goal, Nezuko (Sprout, Upton) and again the Japanese (Sprout) with his third of the game put the nail in Cologne's coffin. The three stars were Nezuko (3g/0a), Pandora (1g/2a) and Karjalainen (1g/1a). Fletcher @DragonFire420 (.964) dominated Protagonist @Jericho(.808) by a country mile. The Storm's power play was decent (2/6) and their box play impeccable (6/6).

Daniel was logged with 1g, 0a, +1 and 5 hits

 

 In the second game, Cologne was in for vengeance and steam railed (pun intended) the Norvegian team with a total score of 8-3. 3rd @Jeffie43 (Janser, Puhovs) in power play, Puhovs (Janser, Nezuko) in an other power play and Sprout (Nezuko, Upton) found the twine for the Storm. Martin @Craig (2g/1a), Meridius @Beaviss (2g/1a) and Pete @PistolP (1g/2a) were in the lime light for this match. Both Storm goalies were fielded and neither of them (.692 and .857 saving rate) were exactly stellar while Fleury @Kuba-Fleury put up a show (.921). Oslo's power play was good (2/6) and their box play acceptable (3/4).

Daniel had 0g, 2a, -3 and 2 PIM (Hooking, lead to a goal against)

 

The third game for the elder Janser brother was against Rome and it was a tire fire and a half, as Oslo lost 10-1. The only goal for Storm was netted by 3rd (Janser, Puhovs), 4 minutes into the third, when Rome was leading 7-0 already. The three stars were Mashford @Mashy (3g/3a), Jugs @NerdyCowz (4g/1a) and Steel @tylerwest (3g/0a). Both Storm goalies did what the could with a saving rate of .854 and .733 respectively, but they did not get an awful lot of support from their team, whereas Spinelli @Lspinelli(.955) was almost in a position to install a rocking chair and read the latest issue of VSN in the crease. The Norse's power play was terrible (0/5) and the penalty kill arguably even worse (2/7) with an almost Canuck-esque performance.

Daniel was noted with 0g, 1a, +0, 2 PIM (Delaying the game, lead to a goal against), 4 hits and 1sb

 

Oslo faced Cologne in their fourth match and achieved a 4-3 OT loss. The three goals for Storm were scored by Pandora (Toon) in power play, 3rd (Janser, Puhovs) in power play again and Pandora (Nezuko, Knale) in power play once more (three's a charm). The three stars were Martin (1g/2a), Pandora (2g/0a) and Leduc @Alexandre (1g/1a). Fletcher (.930) and Protagonist (.900) duelled on a very high level. Oslo's special teams had an almost perfect night with 7/7 on the penalty kill and 3/5 in the power play. 

Daniel achieved 0g, 1a, -2, 4 PIM (Roughing, twice, obviously did not lead to goals) and 3 hits

 

The Jansers' statitistics so far are:

Marcel: 28gp, 2g, 13a, 15pts, -17, 12 PIM, 19 hits, 40sb, 1gwg, 2ppg
