[DollarAndADream 3,356]

The season is underway and teams are starting to establish themselves with their identities and show their worth. The Vancouver Wolves are of course on top, while the Toronto Legion, Riga Reign, and Malmo Nighthawks are also top teams. The Calgary Wranglers have started the season 6-4-2, and are primed to do better than that.

 

Here's their last couple of games against the Seattle Bears.

 

Seattle Bears vs. Calgary Wranglers

This game started off with Calgary's Daniel Janser scoring his 4th of the season, giving the Wranglers a 1-0 lead only a minute into the game. It wasn't long before Seattle tied it up, with Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems getting that game tying marker. At the end of the 1st Period, Wranglers sophomore centre Saku Kotkakoivu got a game misconduct for head butting. Not sure what he was doing there, but this game went into the 2nd Period with Seattle having a huge powerplay opportunity. Early in the 2nd Period, the Bears capitalized on that major penalty and made Calgary pay. Hulk Hogan 2 scored at 2:03, then Taro Tsujimoto scored at 4:09, both PP goals, and the Bears had a 3-1 lead. Seattle's Sigard Petrenko then took that momentum and brought the game to a 4-1 score. In the back half of the period, Gustislav Nasherov scored and brought this game within 2 goals, 4-2, to start the 3rd. In the 3rd Period, Reylynn Reinhart scored his 12th of the season just 36 seconds in, bringing Calgary within a goal. Unfortunately, the Wranglers couldn't take that momentum, and Justin Lose scored 2 quick goals at 2:23 and 5:03 to give Seattle a 6-3 lead, and that's how the game ended. Bears goaltender Em Em Flex saved 42 of 45 shots.

Towards the end of the period, the Seattle Bears ran into penalty troubles. Tom Eagles scored on the PP at 13:26, bringing this game to 3-1. Less than a minute later, Phil The Rock Johnson carried that momentum and scored to bring it to 3-2. Not long after that, Vinny Detroit took a hooking penalty with under 2 minutes left in the 2nd Period, and Calgary made sure to fire it home. Gustislav Nasherov scored at 18:52 while on the PP, and this game was tied 3-3. In the 3rd Period, Calgary killed off an early penalty, then Seattle's Sigard Petrenko went to the box for slashing.
