Game 301: Philadelphia Reapers vs Halifax 21st

 

When 2 Eastern Conference rivals, first-place Halifax and last-place Philadelphia, met up on a rainy night, the Reapers noticed an unfamiliar face in goal, none other than Henry Tucker Jr, who was making his first-ever VHLM start that night. Having been created just a few days ago and possessing just 87 TPE, the 21st squad knew that they needed to limit shots on goal, and they did just that. The first period was a success for Halifax, as Jeremy Davidson punched in a goal after 15:33 of play to go up 1-0.

 

The second period, however, did not go according to plan. After Otis Boudreaux got sent to the box for holding, Philly’s 1st first line bot defenseman landed a shot in the net to tie it 1-1. Tucker Jr was very frustrated during the intermission, and for good reason: It was a tie contest even though the Reapers had been outshot 42-11. It didn’t seem to work, however, as just 36 seconds after the horn sounded, β-PHI LW2 2 got another goal in to make it 2-1. Finally, Halifax listened, and 2 minutes later, Doug Britton tied it up. Just over halfway through the period, Bordeaux redeemed himself with the go-ahead goal, and with 3:21 to go, Davidson scored again to put the icing on the cake.
