Founder's Cup Semi-Finals - Las Vegas Aces vs. Mexico City (Games 3 & 4)

 

It's game 3 with the Aces and Kings tied in the series one to one. Both teams looking to break the tie. The Kings started the scoring off with a goal from Alexander Stroheim just over seven minutes in. The Aces scored almost two minutes later courtesy of Al Land. Going into the first intermission, the Kings were outshooting the Aces 11-7 but both were tied 1-1 on the scoreboard. Looking to get some offence going, the Aces were hoping to score another to take the lead. And they did with Robert Overmeyer scoring on the power play. However, they later took a penalty themselves and the Kings responded in kind with a power play goal of their own. The second ended and the game was still tied. The shots on goal were almost even, the Aces taking one more SOG. Both teams were looking for ways to get the lead in the second intermission. Only one goal was scored to seal the win for one of the teams. Who scored? Another penalty would cost the Kings the win as almost 4 minutes in, Fred Hampton potted a power play goal that would give the Aces the lead and ultimately the series lead as well. That was the only goal scored in the third, giving the Aces a 3-2 victory.

 

The Kings were looking to tie up the series in Game 4 while the Aces wanted to put the Kings in an elimination situation. The Kings would rally however and would score two consecutive power play goals to start the game 20 seconds from each other. William Futch and Scottie House (with his first of the playoffs!) would be the goal scorers, giving the Kings a 2-0 lead about 4 minutes in. However, in the latter half of the period, The Frenchman would turn some incredible effort into two goals, tying the game up. Fortunately for Mexico City, Nikolas Kauppi scored in the final minute of the period on a power play to give the Kings a 3-2 lead by the end of the first. 3-2 was enough to win it last game but it wasn't enough this game as Al Land would tie it up for Mexico, scoring about four and a half minutes into the second period. Miguel Martinez Gonzalez scored later in the period to give the Kings the lead back. That was all for the second and Mexico was again barely holding on to a lead with one goal. Now the Aces were looking to tie the game while the Kings wanted to tie the series. The former got their goal done as Womp Womp Womp Womp Womp Jr would score just over 16 minutes into the third, tying the game at 4-4. And the Aces would continue to rally in the third, James Kagelberg winning the game for them late into the third with a goal. 5-4 was the score.
