RECAP Ottawa vs Saskatoon - Game 54

 

1st Period

If you want to talk about a scary opening to a game, look no further than this one. Just twenty seconds into the game, basically enough time to drop the puck and skate into the zone, Ottawa buries their first goal courtesy of Franklin Chang (Benjamin) with assists coming from Robb (Bob) and Clarke (Daniel). This game was heating up, Saskatoon had previous lost to them and knew they had to do something to get the game going, get the crowd fired up, however their hearts sank later in the period, as my player (and Sasky goalie) Augustus Kennedy gets lit up again 14:46 into the period, this time courtesy of Wilson (Manny), the apple comes courtesy of Ivanovitch (Mikayev) and their amazing BOT (OTT D2-2). Overall, this period was Ottawa's to take, and they put an early stranglehold on my Wild, also, our team did ourselves no favors as they got two penalties, one right after the first goal (26 seconds in) and the other just after the 6 minute mark. 

 

2nd Period

When you think the game is all but won early on, there is a good shot it isn't, and that was the case this period. What Ottawa did to Saskatoon, they did right back with firepower, opening their scoring parade at 2 minutes, 26 seconds into the period, this first goal courtesy of McSticks (Pucky) and assisted by Lambert (Minou) and White (Eric). The game was more or less anyone's to win at this point, but Saskatoon decided to tie it up half-way through the period (10:51) this time White (Eric) returned the favor, that line heating up as Lambert (Minou) and McSticks (Pucky) assisted, they now singlehandedly tied up the game. This period in terms of penalties was heavily Ottawa based, with 3 of the 4 coming from that team, maybe some frustration after blowing a 2-0 lead? 

 

3rd Period

This one was... about as uneventful as it gets. Saskatoon absolutely plastered Ottawa in shots, 12 shots to 4 however neither team could have the game decided in regulation, one odd thing to note though, there was also 0 penalties, so it seems like the game kind of went a bit balanced... 1st period, SASK took most of the penalties, 2nd period, OTT took most of the penalties, and penalties were mostly taken after goals... odd. 

 

OT

We headed to OT and the lines were a little shaken up here, however the play was all Saskatoon, Ottawa couldn't even touch the puck by the looks of things, and if they did, they never got a single shot off. It only took Saskatoon 3 shots to end the game, a 3 goal rally with 0 coming from Ottawa, this goal was the biggest and his second of the game as White (Eric) breaks the tie, assisted by Taylor (Chase) and Kowalski (Brian). This was also after Ottawa took a penalty (right before it was set to expire)... what a kick in the kahunas. 

 

FINAL SCORE: 
3-2 Saskatoon via OT goal.
