a tale of two Brothers // A good start...

[Daniel Janser 1,983]

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

 

Our 21st centuries William Tells had another couple of games each. Please find them recapped below.

 

The Mississauga Hounds featuring Marcel in their roster first played the Reapers in a 6-3 win. Philadelphia opened the scoring midway through the first period, but Lamb @dlamb (Teekirque, McMuffin) equalized the game before the first intermission. In the second, the Pennsylvanians had the better start again, but the Hounds countered with a deuce by Eli @Elijah (Fong's Son) (McMuffin, Nine) in power play and Lamb (Teekirque, Zubov). The Reapers pulled one back, but were culled by another double tap by Lamb (Zubov, Bushtit) with a shorthanded goal and Bob @M0XI(Janser, Jeffers). In the last period, Janser @Morcar80 with a slapshot from the blue line, assisted by Bushtit and Lamb, put the nail in the  Reapers' coffin for good. The three stars were awarded to Lamb (3g/1g), Zubov @Russianmenice (0g/2a) and Jp @WhiskyJack (1g/1a). Gaming @Lilpfigher (.875) was slightly better than Arpa @16z (.870). The Hounds power play was good (2/7) but their box play was even more remarkable. Not only did they not allow a goal in five attemps, but they also scored a goal while at a one man disadvantage.

Marcel had 1g, 1a, -2, and 1sb

 

In the direct rematch, Philadelphia took the win with a 6-4 score. The first period was a 2-2 tie, with Lamb (Teekirque, Bushtit) and Nine (Eli, McMuffin) in power play being succesful for the Canadians. In the second period, Mississauga took the lead with a power play goal by Janser, (again a big slapper from the point) with Teekirque and Bushtit lending him a helping (passing) hand and Jeffers @Tophdaddy (Bridgers, Bob). Alas, somehow the Hounds managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and allowed four consecutive goals in the final period. Lappi @aksuko (2g/0a), AL @bigAL (1g/2a) and Kawaii @Thatsurfdude (1g/1a) were named the three stars of the night. Gaming (.892) again had Arpa's (.778) number, but this time by a countrymile. The Mississaugan special teams were a mixed bag. While the power play was very decent (2/4) the penalty killing unit did anything but kill penalties (1/4).

Marcel was noted with 1g, 0a, -1, 1 hit and 3sb

 

Daniel's Red Wolves played defending Champion Vasteras and won 6-0. Li @Ryan Li (Kman, Heavems) scored the first goal in power play after only 46 seconds played in the game. Janser was not shy and scored his first goal for his new franchise after 4:02 minutes. From the slot, he buried Tsarov's (who got the puck from Waffles) rebound top shelf. The crowd was ecstatic and chanted his name, as this was quite a way to make a first impression. In the second period it was Power @Tape-to-Tape(Hogan, Li) and Dasher @Slick (Hogan, Power) who expanded Istanbul's lead. The final period saw an other brace for the Turks by Tsarov @PadStack, getting the puck from Janser, who was faking a shot and have the defender go down to block same, after receiving the biscuit from Waffles. The final goal was scored by Kman @Kman(Power, Heavems). The three stars were all Istanbul players and Kloxified @Kloxified(24 saves) was joined on the podium by his team mates Li (1g/1a) and Power (1g/2a). Vasteras' netminder (.893) performed not bad, but Kloxified kept his sheet clean and won this uneven duel. Istanbul's power play had room for improvement (1/5), their penalty kill was obviously impeccable.

Daniel had 1g, 1a, +2, 2 PIM (Hooking, no effect on the score) and 3 hits

 

In the second game Istanbul faced off Rome and shut them out 4-0. Hogan @FonziGG (Li, Power) scored on the power play after only 33 seconds of play.  Khan @caltroit_red_flames (Kman, Zabastovka) and Heavems @RstortonYT (Kman, Li) scored in the second period and Li (Power, Hogan) in power play buried the puck in the third. Late in that final period, Janser demonstrated why the Red Wolves hired him. Earlier in the game, Mashford was spraying Kloxified with ice and Daniel made good note of that. In the next shift, as soon as Mashford picked up a lose puck, the Swiss slammed his opponent into the boards. He was lead by the linesman to the the sin bin under the appreciative applause of the Istanbul bench and trash talking to Mashford all the way. He clearly made a statement, that he will protect his goalkeeper and that opposing teams can no longer bully the Red Wolves around unscathed. The three stars were Kloxified (29 saves), Li (1g/2a) and Kman (0g/2a). It goes without saying the Kloxified (1.000) had the better of Spinelli @Lspinelli (.892) who did not show a mean game by any stretch of the imagination. The Wolves' special teams were very efficient with the power play being 2/6 and the penalty kill flawless 3/3.

Daniel was credited with 0g, 0a, +0, 2 PIM (Boarding, without consequences on the score board) and 4 hits.

 

The brothers' stats as of now:

Marcel: 54gp, 7g, 32a, 39pts, -28, 28 PIM, 57 hits, 85sb, 1gwg, 5ppg

Daniel: 54gp, 26g, 36a, 62pts, -14, 85 PIM, 191 hits, 30sb, 4gwg, 5ppg
