Let's catch up with the progress on the off-season tournaments with Swiss participation, shall we? Starting with the WJC.

 

Semi-Final

4-6

In one of the arguably best performances of a European team on a WJC in recent history, Zef Gonçalves' boys beat the defending champions 6-4. Matchett opened the score for Canada but Europe answered quickly with goals by Daniels in power play and Arcanum before the frame was done. Canada pulled one back with Elsby's power play goal but Europe scored two on the man advantage as well by Hagel and Greg. Early in the third period the Maple Leafs tied the game with markers by Elsby and Young. But Zef was not to be thwarted this time around and took a time out to address the sudden slack and complacency settling in the team. It was the Captain Sogaard who stepped up to the plate and scored two consecutive goals, one of them on a power play. Canada could not find an answer but not for lack of trying (the shots were 27-11 in the last period). Alas Mercier shut the door on the desperate Canadians. Sogaard (2g/1a), Elsby (2g/0a) and Hagel (1g/1a) were named the three stars of the game. Mercier (.915) had the upper hand over Kennedy (.842) between the pipes. The special teams out did themselves with a nearly perfect boxplay (5/6) and a perfect score (4/4) on the power play. It is safe to say that the special teams won the day for the Europeans.

Marcel left the ice with 0g, 1a, -1, 1 hit and 2sb.

 

Final

2-3

In a hard fought match between Asia and Europe the latter came out victorious, despite being outshot in their 3-2 win. Asia scored first with Monkey starting the proceedings. Alas, Bridgers tied the game before the first intermission. Wallace then scored for Europe in the second for the only goal of the period. Busser tied the game for the Asians again before Hagel delivered the dagger with a power play marker. The three stars were given to Bridgers (1g/1a), Hagel (1g/1a) and Busser (1g/0a). Mercier (.941) played Bryzgalov (.889) against the wall. Team Europe had a perfect penalty kill (4/4) and a decent power play (1/3).

Marcel had 0g, 1a, -1, 1 hit and 1sb to his name.

 

In the aggregate, Marcel's record for the whole World Cup is as follows:

10gp, 1g, 8a, 9pts, +2, 20 PIM, 10 hits, 19sb, 1ppg, 

 

Daniel in the meantime did not meet as much success with his extracurricular activities and ended up third in the ProAm Tournament.

 

The last few Round Robin games ended as follows:

4-1 loss to the Hawks

2-1 win against Kodiak

4-3 loss against Kodiak

3-2 win against Jersey

4-2 win against the Bagels

4-2 loss against the Hawks

3-1 win against the Bagels

1-0 win against Jersey

 

After the Round Robin, Daniel had the following stats to show for:

20gp, 9g, 12a, 21pts, +7, 22 PIM, 44 hits, 3sb, 3gwg, 

 

In the playoffs the Sissies fell to the Hawks 4-1 in the series with the results being 3-4 L, 2-5 L, 3-2 W, 2-3 L, 3-6 L

 

Daniel's stats for the playoffs were:

5gp, 3g, 3a, 6pts, +1, 4 PIM, 17 hits, 1sb, 58.08 FO%

 

We will revert with news on the Jansers' quest for everlasting glory in the VHL in due course.

Review:

It's been some time since I have read a two brothers media spot and it just keeps getting better! It's been great to catch up with the Janser brothers and see how they are doing. The article was great, great writing and the final stats and graphics were a nice addition. Keep up the great work and look forward to following the brothers once again this season! 10/10
