Welcome dear readers, please join us in a brief summary of the two games played since our last report from overseas. 

 

4-2

The Wranglers were facing one of the weaker teams in the European Conference in Davos. Hence, it should be know surprise that the Calgary team rode into to sunset with two additional points in their saddlebag after a convincing 4-2 victory. It was GoodBrandSun who opened the score halfway through the first. Daniel then increased the lead by one with less than three minutes to go. Gonçalves hoovers up Dan's blocked shot and has a go himself. Unfortunately for the Portuguese forward his shot is not on target. However, Jokinen picks up the ophaned disc and attempts to score but sees his shot blocked by Tavau. Daniel has sneaked into the slot and reacts first to acquire the puck. As there is not much room left, he resorts to an in between-the-legs shot to give the biscuit enough elevation to beat Davis. Janser also scored the only goal in the second period, when Gonçalves re-gained the puck which was previously lost by Tessier. Again his shot misses the net, but Strasmore keeps the Wranglers in possession. Living by the doctrine, that you miss every shot you do not take, Phil gives it a swing. Alas, he sees his shot blocked by Teekirque. Daniel is again the opportunist to profit from the chaos in front of the net and buries it backhand. It takes Gonçalves a full six seconds to score in the third period to make it 4-0. Davos pulled two goals back, but it was too little, too late. Janser (2g/1a), Gonçalves (1g/2a) and Dahl (35 saves) were named three stars of the match. Even though the Wranglers' young keeper was denied a shutout his .946 saving rate were head and shoulder above Davis' performance (.882). Calgary's power play was anemic (0/2) and the penalty kill was spotless (4/4).

Marcel was credited with 0g, 0a, +1, 5 hits and 5sb

Daniel had 2g, 1a, +1, 1 hit and 70.00FO% to his name

 

  

2-0

Dahl was not deprived long of his well deserved shutout though. Already in the next game against Toronto he was able to pull it off, when the Wranglers beat the Legion 2-0. Marcel receives Dahl's pass after a puck dump by Toronto and fires the after burner. He scores on the rush with a slapshot from mid-distance at 16:51 minutes into the first. The second period came and went with neither team able to score. Wolanin then choked any hope the Legion may have had with his marker halfway through the third. The three stars went to Dahl (16 saves), Marcel Janser (1g/0a) and Kotkakoivu (0g/1a). Dahl  (1.000) obviously had the upperhand over Lindbergh (.944) who stood on his head to give his team a fighting chance. The Wranglers' power play was disappointing (0/6) but the penalty kill immaculate (3/3).

Marcel logged 1g, 0a, +2, 1 hits and 1sb

Daniel was noted with 0g, 0a, 2 PIM (Delaying the game, no change on the score), 4 hits and 66.67FO%

 

The brothers' stats read as follows:

Marcel: 34gp, 5g, 7a, 12pts, +16, 4 PIM, 32 hits, 62sb, 3gwg, 2ppg

Daniel: 34gp, 23g, 26a, 49pts, +12, 72 PIM, 117 hits, 15sb, 2gwg, 6ppg, 57.77FO% and 4 first star nominations

 

While Daniel is on a 100+ points trajectory, Marcel is doing the defensive homework and is amongst the top ten on the +/- rating. He is AirRig's defensive life line and shows decent production for defensive minded rookie defender.

 

The Wranglers are fourth in the NA Conference but have still two games in hand compared to the Bears and the Wolves, which have a three and two points lead respectively.

 

We will revert with updates as soon as possible.

I did not think of that, but it did catch my attention when I went through the stats...
