You’re too busy ruining my life in shootouts ever since we had to part ways!

That seems like your fault. We’re finding Boris quite fine over here. Join your AGM shall you?

Game Recap - Game 423 (MSK - HEL)

 

You could call this a literal clash of the titans. Well, you had the Helsinki Titans on one side, and the EU conference-leading Moscow Menace on the other.

 

Why was this game so highly touted? The Menace came into this one on the back of a 14 game winning streak, and the Titans were on their own hot run of 10 wins on the bounce. SOMETHING HAD TO GIVE.

 

Despite taking three unanswered penalties in the first period, as the Menace seem to perennially do these days, the Russian side ended the first period with a slender 1-0 lead thanks to Wattson Power's blast from the point, assisted by Jan "HOLLYWOOD" Hlozek.

 

The league's two best goaltenders, Papa Emeritus and Xavier Booberry, put on a show in the second period to frustrate both team's shooters. However, the Finnish side would tie the game with less than two minutes to go in the middle stanza through Deron Nesbitt, his ninth of the season.

 

It was all to play for going into the third, and MVP candidate Nico Pearce lit the lamp with 1:55 gone in the final frame to send the Titans into the lead. Henri le Massif tied it back up just three minutes later.

 

Overtime looked to be on the cards, but Gustislav Nasherov CALLED GAME with just 16 seconds to seal the win for Helsinki, helping the Finnish side live up to their name.

 

GOOD GAME.
