S82 VHLM Playoffs Featured Game - VHLM Finals Game Seven

 

Welcome back to Featured Games Recap. We are finally at the end of Season 82. Our featured game is the final game of the VHLM Season 82. We have a match between the visiting Saskatoon Wild versus the home team, Houston Bulls, in Game Seven of the VHLM Season 82 Playoffs Finals. The everlasting Season 82 has finally come down to this single game. A winner take all, championship game in Houston, Texas. The winner runs away with the Founder's Cup and the loser goes off into the off season pondering what could have been, and what a waste of a season is was. Finals. Game Seven. Where heroes and legends are born.

 

First Period. The puck is dropped and we are underway, and the Houston Bulls are down 1 - 0. Brian Kowalski @Wheaties opened the scoring for the Saskatoon Wild 0:33 into the game with his 12th of the playoffs. Just like that the Wild are up to an early lead. They've always said that the first couple minutes and last couple minutes of each period is always the most deadliest minutes of a hockey game. And thus, Dens Oden @Snussu goes off for Tripping 0:54, a minor penalty to the Saskatoon Wild.

The Houston Bulls tried mightily to tie up the game on the power play to no avail. And back the other way, 2 - 0, Goal by Napolean Dynamite @thadthrasher, his 4th of the post season at 5:57, and to make things worse Joey Coaster @FANTEIGE goes off for Delay of Game, 6:13, giving Saskatoon a power play and a chance to go up 3 - 0. The Bulls makes a much needed penalty kill, and Goal! 3 -0, second goal of the game by Cheesy (if you know the reference, nice  ) -erm I mean Napolean Dynamite. Just 8:14 into the first period and Houston Bulls goaltender Ali Des Aves @ViprVipe has been pulled from the most important game of the season. 3 goals on 4 shots and the Saskatoon Wild are up 3 - 0 in the dangerous home ice of the Houston Bulls. Daniel McGleis @lukechezzwoo is in the game for the Bulls. It is now up to Daniel (McGleis) to shut the door and give the Bulls a chance to stage a comeback!

 

Jack Quill @GoldGear88 wins the face-off versus Joey Coaster, and Malum Maellard @frescoelmo ices the puck. Joey Coaster wins the face-off against Napoleon Dynamite and hits Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito, and loses the puck. (Editor's Note: Is that the Misplay of the Game? What are you doing Joey (Coaster), you won the face off and had the puck, why make a hit only to lose the puck?) Napoleon Dynamite shoots, and he scores. Goal! Hat trick! 3rd of the night for the man with the nerdy hair and glasses! 2 shot deflections and 1 shot and it's 3 goals on 3 shots, and the game is 4 - 0! Saskatoon Wild leads 4 - 0, 9:27 into the first period. Not even half of a period has been played and the Wild are up 4 - 0, and they have only taken 5 shots! (Editor's note: And the game was basically over at this point, it is incredibly difficult to come back from down 4 - 0, unless a miracle ensues)

 

And the trend continues. Another penalty was called right after a goal. Justin Adolfsen @NJDevils24 goes off for Roughing at 10:31, giving the Houston Bulls a chance to get into the game. The Saskatoon Wild killed off the penalty, and then AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment gets tripped by Ryan @freezyeh, at 13:22, causing AirRig (GoodBrandSun) to send the puck over the boards into the crowd of Houston Bulls fans. Ryan, 2 minutes for Tripping. AirRig GoodBrandSun, 2 minutes for Delay of Game. Coincidental (minor) penalties. 4 on 4 hockey for 2 minutes. (Editor's Note: Now that's a first, I have never seen a Delay of Game penalty caused by a Tripping penalty before) Jack Quill scores to extend the lead to 5 - 0 for Saskatoon at 17:14 and the first period of Game Seven of the VHLM Championship Playoffs Finals ends with the Saskatoon Wild up 5 - 0. Shots were Saskatoon Wild 10 to Houston Bulls 9.

 

Lots of penalties ensue in the Second Period, including a penalty by Ryan just 5 seconds into the period, and a penalty at 19:48 by Scoish Velociraptor Maloish @youloser1337 which gives the Saskatoon Wild a power play going into the third period. Nine @NineIQ v2 scores their 12th of the playoffs for the Houston Bulls at 17:29, ruining Augustus Kennedy @InstantRockstar's shutout bid and getting Houston onto the (score)board. Heading into the 2nd intermission, the Saskatoon Wild leads 5 - 1. Shots were 11 to 8 for Houston Bulls in the second period.

 

With the start of the Third Period, the Saskatoon Wild are still on the power play, looking to re-extend their lead to 5. Scotty Sundin @fromtheinside scores Shorthanded, his 11th of the playoffs, at 1:46 near the end of the penalty to cut the Wild's lead to 5 - 2. Ayomide Ayodele @KingOercy further cuts the lead, to 5 - 3, with their 9th of the post season at 18:20, a little too late, and only to see Jack Quill re-extend the lead back to 3 goals at 18:42 making the game out of reach at 6 - 3. Houston Bulls made a valiant effort to come back into the game, with a 2 goal, 14 shots effort in the third period; outshooting the Saskatoon Wild 14 to 6. Final Shot Count: Houston Bulls 34, Saskatoon Wild 24. Final Score: 6 - 3. The Saskatoon Wild comes back from down 3 - 1 in the (Playoff) Series to Win the Founder's Cup! 4 games to 3.

 

Congratulations to the Saskatoon Wild! Winner of the Founder's Cup and claiming the crown as the Champion of Season 82 in the VHLM!
