The Junior Showcase Tournament - Daniel Weaver - Playoff Edition

[ThePerfectNut 563]

Daniel Weaver's amazing playoff showcase in the junior showcase tournament...

 

Daniel Weaver showcased his potential at his fullest during the junior showcase. He had a decent start being right under a point per game but really turned it up near the end to secure his team first place in the tournament.

 

For the semi-finals, Daniel Weaver absolutely went off and literally carried his team on his back. He really did everything he could to win the game by any means necessary.

 

We matched up against Brigade which was the toughest team we faced during the regular games.

 

In the first game, we won 4-3 with 3 goals in the third period so yes Brigade blew a 3-1 lead. Daniel Weaver was okay in this game with just an assist. All lines contributed to this game.

 

Warriors are now up 1-0 in the series.

 

In the second game, we won 8 to 5! It was really a scoring game. Daniel got two assists and goal one was from a power play, another on a penalty kill, and the goal later in the period!

In the second period, he scored two more goals which secures him a hat trick! He got another assist in the third period which gives him 3 goals and two assists in a single game with a +4.

 

You can really tell Weaver wants all the smoke and the Warriors are up 2-0. What can go wrong?

 

In the third game, we lost 4-3 in overtime. We could not close it out at Brigade. Weaver had a goal and an assist with a +2, but he got scored the game-winning in overtime during a powerplay for the brigade. He had no stamina left in his tank.

 

2-1 lead for the Warriors. We can still do this right?

 

In the fourth game, the Warriors looked exhausted during the whole game. They lose 3-1 and Weaver was the only scorer in this game. We can't blame the goalie because he has been amazing so far and made 31 saves in this game. His rival Hennry Eagles had two goals on him this game.

 

2-2, back to the Warriors stadium. Will the fan's cheers help us go over the hump?

 

This was a win-or-go-home game, in the first period. Otis Boudreaux the captain scores his 4 goals in the semi-finals. In the second period, Daniel Weaver scores yet again for his 6th goal in the semi-finals in just 28 seconds into the period!

 

The warriors are up 2-0 in the game, can they close it out?

 

The answer is...

 

 

The warriors took TEN STRAIGHT PENALTIES.

 

This must be a record!

 

Brigade scored twice within those 2 power plays...

 

Daniel Weaver did all he could but playing 20 minutes on the penalty kill on 5vs4 or 5vs3. There's just so much he could do in his current young career.

 

Then Cuyler May scored his second goal in the series for the game-winning series goal.

 

This hurts a lot seeing this team collapse like this, but Weaver has learned a lot and is expecting to have a good VHLM season soon enough...
