S82 VHLM First Featured Game - Playoffs Edition

 

Oh captain, my captain. Scotty comes through for Houston!

 

Welcome back to Featured Games Recap. After a long fought series in the Semi-Finals of the VHLM playoffs in Season 82, we have finally gotten to the second Game 7 of the VHLM playoffs! Today, we have the underdog Mexico City Kings visiting the VHLM regular season top seat Houston Bulls, in Game 7. Winner goes to the Finals and loser goes golfing!

 

This series between the Kings and the Bulls have been a Home Ice series where both teams have only been able to win at home and the visitors have suffered on the road. With the series now down to a One Game show, a one game series, we have stars rise to take over when the pressure builds up and the excitement builds up to the climax!

 

As we've seen time after time, all season long, Houston Bulls' stars and S83 top prospects Hammer Voss @BOOM, Scotty Sundin @fromtheinsidee, and AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment comes together to set up and score for the Bulls. The captains unite to score the first goal of Game 7 to give Houston a very important 1 - 0 lead at 6:26 into the first period on AirRig GoodBrandSun's 6th of the playoffs. Unfortunately for AirRig (GoodBrandSun), big guys tends to take penalties easier when you cross-check your opponents, and Tomas Sogaard @Brandon ties up the game 1 - 1 for the Kings on AirRig GoodBrandSun's penalty at 10:22. This would be Tomas Sogaard's 10th of the playoffs. Lots of shots and lots of action follows as the first period comes toward a close with shots 14 for Mexico City and 16 for Houston, and then Scotty (Sundin) sneaks one in behind Mexico City's goaltender, Brandt Fuhr @Tate, right before the period ends at 19:34. Scotty Sundin's 4th goal of the playoffs and Houston's 17th shot of the period gives the Bulls a 2 - 1 lead going into the 1st intermission.

 

Houston Bulls' Nine @NineIQ v2 scores their 6th of the playoffs to extend the Bulls' lead to 3 - 1 just past half way into the second period at 10:14, only to have Tomas (Sogaard) cut the lead back to one with their 2nd of the night at 12:30. But as the saying goes. "What you could do, I could do better." Scotty (Sundin) scores their 2nd of the night, once again late in the period, to double up Houston's lead 4 - 2 at 17:53 on the power play. Both teams had 8 shots a piece in the second period, with Houston leading by two heading to the third (period).

 

As the saying goes, Game 7 is where stars are born and big change players step up their game. The incredible goaltending duel continues in the third period as both teams pamper away at the opposing teams' net with shots. It was not until "Hero Time" does AirRig GoodBrandSun relieves the Kings' pressure with his 2nd of the night at 16:28 into the third period to make it a three goal lead, 5 - 2. Ayomide Ayodele @KingOercy seals the deal for the Houston Bulls with their 5th of the playoffs on the power play at 19:09 to make it a four goal game, 6 - 2. Houston finished the period with 16 shots to Mexico City's 10. In the end, Houston Bulls out played the Mexico City Kings with a 41 to 32 shot effort as they claim Game 7 and the Series 4 games to 3. A final score of Houston Bulls 6 to Mexico City Kings 2.
