Our stalwart hockey ambassadors played a couple of games again. Here are our summaries for your convenience.

 

3-2

Vasteras played the Geneva Rush in a 3-2 defeat. Young brought the Swedes in the lead early in the first, but Geneva equalized shortly before the break. The second period saw two Rush goals one of which was on a power play. Robb then cut the Swiss' lead in half, but that was all she wrote. Escobar (2g/1a), Robb (1g/1a) and Wallob (41 saves) were named the three best players of the match. Jute (.917) was decent in net but was overshadowed by Wallob's performance (.953). Vasteras' power play was a no-show (0/5) and the penalty kill terrible (1/2).

Marcel had 0g, 0a, +0, 1 hit and 2sb to his name.

 

2-3

The Iron Eagles met the Rome Gladiators in a 3-2 loss. Again, Vasteras was first on the board, this time with power play goal by Puk. The Italians tied the game with less than a minute left in the first period. The Gladiators scored the sole goal in the second frame for a one goal lead. They increased the lead on a man advantage in the third before Bridgers could pull one back. But it was too little, too late and Vasteras had to concede the game. For the three stars, the jury chose Puk (1g/1a), Creed (0g/1a) and Dragon (46 saves). Back up Byrne (.864) did not much to earn a starter position and lost the duel in the crease by a country mile against Dragon (.957). The Iron Eagles' power play was okay (1/5) but the penalty kill was far from acceptable (1/2).

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

 

5-3

In a North-South duel the Eagles lost against the Red Wolves 5-3. Vasteras went ahead (maybe they should stop doing that) with a goal by Mathias in the first. Young increased the lead by one 4:16 minutes into the second. Istanbul replied with a goal of their own. Then it was the Swedes turn again with Puk finding the back of the net in a power play. The Wolves retaliated with two consecutive goals, one of them during a penalty against MacTavish. In the third period, the Turkish team scored twice against Vasteras' zero. 2st (1g/1a), Busser (1g/2a) and Crumb (1g/1a) were elected the three stars of the night. Jute (.868) had one of his weaker nights and had to concede to Murdock (.919). Vasteras' power play was decent (1/3) their box play not so much (2/3).

Marcel was noted with 0g, 0a, -1 and 4sb.

 

2-0

Calgary clashed horns with the London United in 2-0 victory. The first period ended without a goal as the teams probed their opponents. In the second frame, Janser struck twice. On the first goal Ayres, the Wranglers' back up netminder, passed a dumped puck to Jokinen and the American relayed the disc to Janser. The Swiss picked up speed and went through London's defence like a hot knife through butter and buried the puck in the five hole. The second goal was not as elegant as the first one. Kotkakoivu wins the face off in the offensive zone and gives the puck to Jokinen, the veteran defender passes it to Janser and on the third attempt the winger squeezes the biscuit across the line. No further goals were scored in the match. The three stars of the game were Ayres (26 saves), Janser (2g/0a) and Jokinen (0g/2a). Ayres with his shutout is triumphant over a solid Pearce (.952). The Wranglers' power play did not help them to win the match (0/7), the penalty kill was flawless (2/2).

Daniel logged 2g, 0a, +2, 3 hits and 50.00FO%

 

1-2

Back in NA, the Wranglers played against the Dragons in a 2-1 defeat, which looking at the shots should have been a win. The Dragons drew first blood before the intermission. Chicoine with his first goal in a Wranglers uniform tied the game and Maloish secured the rubber disc as a souvenir. But before the second period was finisted DC re-established their lead, and that was it. Patrick (41 saves), Chicoine (1g/0a) and Vidot (1g/0a) were named three stars of the night. Dahl (.923) while solid was no match for Patrick (.976) in the clash of goalers. We hope that the countinous inefficiency of the Wranglers power play (0/6) will not bite them in their hindlegs during the remainder of the season, while their penalty kill unit is one of the best in the league (2/2).

Daniel recorded 0g, 0a, -1, 2 hits and 80.00% success rate at the hash marks.

 

That is it for today, here the Jansers' most recent stats:

Marcel: 18gp, 1g, 3a, 4pts, -5, 28 PIM, 16 hits, 31sb, 1ppg

Daniel: 16gp, 10g, 11a, 21pts, +8, 12 PIM, 47 hits, 3sb, 4gwg, 1ppg, 55.10FO%, 3 first stars 

 

Thanks for tuning in and see you next time.
