Games 521 and 531 - Los Angeles Stars vs. Vancouver Wolves

 

Two teams. One colour scheme. The LA Stars and the VanCity Wolves played two consecutive games against each other and here is how they went.

 

5 minutes into the first game, a Vancouver Wolves power play goal gave the Wolves a quick lead! That goal was courtesy of Brian Schmigel. It proved to be the only goal scored in the first frame, sending Vancouver into the first intermission with a 1-0 lead. Then the second period came and 56 seconds in, James glove dropper scored allowing Los Angeles Stars to tie it up with one goal apiece. However, Brian Schmigel scored yet again to give the Wolves the lead back. However, this time Callum Murray of the Stars scored on the power play to tie it up. All three of those goals came in the first 5:03 of the period and were also the only goals of the frame. Going into the second intermission, the Stars and Wolves were tied 2-2. After the intermission, the third period began and the first half of the frame proved to be fruitless as the teams were still deadlocked at 2-2. However, at the beginning of the second half of the third, Jaromir Lemiuex scored to give Vancouver a 3-2 lead. It was a tight frame but eventually Bob Chicoine scored an empty net goal to seal the victory for Vancouver... for now. 4-2 Wolves.

 

In the second game, the Stars were motivated to get some revenge. They came out of the gates hot. Deagun Rust and Nic McMuffin both scored their 12th goals of the season to give the Los Angeles Stars a quick 2 goal lead. Their goals were scored 0:43 and 1:01 into the game respectively. After that, things settled down for the rest of the period as no additional goals were scored in the period. 2-0 Stars heading into the first intermission. Nic McMuffin was still not satisfied. Despite being on the penalty kill, Nic McMuffin scored another goal just under 5 minutes into the second to extend the Stars' lead to 3-0. However, Ryan Li scored to get the Wolves on the scoreboard and cut the lead back to two. The Wolves began to come back with Bob Chicoine scoring about a minute later, cutting the lead to one. The score was 3-1 heading at the end of the second. The Wolves looked to use their momentum in the third period. No goals were scored until the 16:35 mark of the third period. Unfortunately for Vancouver, it was a Stars goal by Finn Davis on the power play, stymying the Wolves' comeback effort. Like the last game, the final score was 4-2. But this time, it was in favour of the Stars.

Featured Game Recap..

 

Game 530:

 Riga Reign vs. D.C. Dragons 

 

In a game with two evenly matched squads it's a true battle of the strengths as we see momentum change and fans get nervous on every play

 

In the first period it's the Dragons who come out blazing and go up by 1 halfway through, sniped by one of the best forwards to do it.. Duncan @OrbitingDeath Idaho. On the other side it's the Reign who get two penalties before and after the goal which proves to be the difference maker

 

The game starts again and in the second period we see the pressure applied in the previous twenty helped boost defender Poopey @JardyB10 Peepants to a handful of chances and eventually gets it passed the netminder for a 2 goal lead. Minutes later Riga finally gets something going and almost mimickinng the goal before it's another defender Biggie @a_Ferk Cheese who launches a banger into the netting and without any rebound attempts, it's a 2-1 game.

 

The celebrating didn't last long and after just 4 minutes go by the Dragons second Dragons forward Ryan @Enorama Vidot steps up and gets a sharp angled shot through some players and somehow find it's way into the net, with this goal the Dragons take the 2 goal lead again and earn another safety net in a highly contested game. Despite the pressure put forward and a terrific dangle by the our third defender to score, JaredN @jared Jr, it's something the Reign need to keep focused on more because like the start of the game a bad penalty from being too intense sits their stars on the bench for another important part to the game right after scoring.. Luckily nothing happens and the period ends with both goaltenders shining the most, Tobias @Spaz Reinhardt making 21 saves for the Reign and Bubble @fishy Utonium stopping 18 in a Dragons uniform

 

After Riga finishes off a PP chance from the last period and another moments later the game goes dull and the goalies continue to shine stopping a total of 23 shots during the final period to improve their numbers on the night

 

That's it! The D.C. Dragons play smart and defeat the Riga Reign to extend their winning ways this season!! Final score is 3-2
