Galvins 1st Playoff Goal in Riga

[Girts 978]

Warsaw's Latvian sniper Girts Galvins played his first two career VHL playoff games yesterday and it was a special experience as he got to do it in his home country of Latvia! Many of Girts friends and family were at the 2 games vs the Riga Reign. The first game was a close one but saw Warsaw lose 3-1. Galvins had a solid game with 3 shots and a block in 20 minutes of icetime. Game 2 Girts came out flying and scored his first career playoff goal just 1:26 into the game, a partial breakaway where he roofed it over a sprawling Tobias Reinhart for his first goal, assisted by Zack Kissingler. Girts took 3 shots in the game in only 16:58 of icetime as there was a lot of special teams play and penatlies. Warsaw won the game 6-2 and tie the series heading back to Warsaw for games 3 and 4. It was a special experience for Girts to play a playoff game in his home country and one he will surely never forget.
