A tale of two Brothers // Trudging on

[Daniel Janser 2,167]

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

 

The new season is in full swing with the Brothers' respective franchises role in their league switched around: Vasteras is a realistic contender, while Calgary has only outside chances to make the post season.

 

Their clubs played two games each and here are the respective summaries:

 

3-2

The Iron Eagles faced their Western Brethren in a 3-2 win. Oslo scored the only goal in the first period in power play. The second period was a 1-1 draw with Bridgers scoring for the Vasteras. Early in the third, Snakehole tied the game and Elsby scored the game winner half way through the period. Elsby (1g/1a), Vladovechsenkchushkin (0g/1a) and Snakehole (1g/0a) were named three stars of the game. Gaming (.929) out classed Kennedy (.897) in the goalie duel. Vasteras' power play was nothing to write home about (0/1) and their penalty kill was rather lack luster (5/7).

Marcel was noted with 0g, 1a, +2, 2 PIM (Hooking, no effect on the score), 2 hits and 1sb.

 

0-3

In the second match the Swedes met the Swiss from Geneva in a clash of the neutral countries. Geneve decided to not follow their own convention and showed no mercy in their 3-0 win. The Rush distributed their goals evenly amongst the three periods. The three stars went to Wilson (51 saves), Dokis (1g/1a) and Chicoine (1g/1a). Wilson's hard earned shutout overshadowed Gaming's decent performance (.906). Despite nine! opportunities in power play, Vasteras did not manage to score a goal and allowed one goal on the three times they were a man down.

Marcel recorded 0g, 0a, +0, 2 PIM (Hooking, lead to a goal against), 2 hits and 1sb.

 

2-1

In a game dominated by the defensive rows of either team, the Wranglers faced the Legion. Atreides with a brace in the second period bagged the points for his team. Kotkakoivu with a late-ish goal in the first brought some hope back, but it was not to be, and Calgary had to strike the colours. Atreides (2g/0a), Peace (0g/2a) and Dahl (43 saves) were awarded the three stars of the night. The latter stood on his head to give the Wranglers a fighting chance (.956) and was slightly better than Lindbergh (.952), alas to no avail. Calgary's power play was once again a matter of concern for Ricer (0/2) while at least the penalty kill seems to work out quite well (5/5).

Daniel had 0g, 0a, +0, 1 hit, 1sb and 68.18 FO% to his name.

 

2-3

The second game was against Chicago, where the Wranglers lost a tight game 3-2. The Phoenix scored two early goals in the first, but Creed with their first goal for the Wranglers and GoodBrandSun tied the game in the second. Chicago scored in power play with less than a minute left in the game, which was obviously not enough time for the Canadians to react anymore. The Phoenix knew to thank van Giersbergen (.947) who kept them in the game, whereas Dahl did not have his best night in a Wranglers uniform (.870). The three stars were GoodBrandSun (1g/0a), Skates (2g/0a) and Van Giersbergen (36 saves). Once more the Wranglers' power play was disappointing (0/3) while their box play was decent (4/5).

Daniel logged 0g, 0a, +1, 1 hit, 1sb and 53.33% efficiency at the hash marks.

 

2-6

The Wranglers entered the game against the Vancouver Wolves with the firm intention to redeem themselves after the couple of close losses they suffered recently. This plan lasted until Tucker decided to have the game of his live and score four consecutive goals (five in total in this game) in less than six minutes in the first period. That is all she wrote. The Wranglers fought an uphill battle after nine minutes into the game and this early handicap proved too much to handle for the Albertan team. Kotkakoivu scored for the Wranglers but they never had a fighting chance this evening and had to tuck tail. To absolutely no-one's surprise, all the places of honour went to Wolves with (shock!) Tucker leading the charge (5g/1a), flanked by Nilsson (0g/2a) and Zolnek (0g/2a). Poor Dahl (.824) had one of his worst nights ever against Fuhr (.952). Calgary's power play was once more inexistent (0/1) and their penalty kill for a change (and to add insult to injury) abysmal (3/5).

Daniel had 0g, 0a, -1, 2 hits, 1sb and 66.67 FO%.

 

The Jansers' stats so far:

Marcel: 8gp, 2g, 3a, 5pts, +5, 12 PIM, 14 hits, 7sb, 1gwg, 2ppg

Daniel: 9gp, 3g, 1a, 4pts, +1, 4 PIM, 9 hits, 5sb, 1ppg, 60.12 FO%
