S85 VHL Second Featured Game

 

We are finally back for more featured games highlight recaps! Who would have thought that our second featured game of Season 85 would end up being the final game of the season! We are in Pro Day 120, game number 576, the final game of the VHL Regular Season in Season 85. We have a matchup between the European Conference leader (and League Leader) and the last place team of the North American Conference. The Warsaw Predators visit the Toronto Legion to close out the regular season before heading home to prepare for the start of the Season 85 VHL Playoffs and their Title Defence.

 

The Toronto Legion did not have a very good season and are looking forward toward the upcoming draft in hopes for a quick and painless rebuild or retool to bring them back into the playoffs. Even though the season has already been lost, it is never a good thing to lose your final home game in front of your home crowd. You have to at least entertain the home crowd one last time before a long off season! Harry Hagel @jasplunds had the right idea as the Toronto Legion draws first blood early into the first period on the Power Play. Harry Hagel scores their 11th of the season at 3:13 into the game. The Toronto Legion showed a lot of heart and soul in this first period of Game 72 in their Season 85. In fact they out played the defending Champions Warsaw Predators. The Toronto Legion outshot the Warsaw Predators 11 to 10 and leads 1 - 0 after 20 minutes of play. To make things even better, their back up is in net. Things could not go much better than this!

 

The Warsaw Predators came out of the gates in period number 2 with a vengeance!  Brendan Marner @MetalToday and Johnny Xavier @Johnny_HX scores quick back to back goals for the Warsaw Predators to quickly take a 2 - 1 lead for the Predators. Brendan Marner scores their 37th of the season just 0:32 into the second period, and Johnny Xavier scores their 22nd moments later before a minute into the period at 0:58 to give the visiting Predators the lead. The Warsaw Predators have finally taken control of the game as Toronto Legion goaltender B-TOR G1 stood on their head to keep the Legion in the game. The Warsaw Predators lead 2 - 1 at the end of the second period, after outshooting the Toronto Legion 16 to 4 in the period.

 

Girts Galvins @Girts extends the lead for the Warsaw Predators with their 27th of the season 5:34 into the third period to give the Predators a 3 - 1 lead. High intense pressure and tremendous (bot) goaltending keeps the Toronto Legion in the game and the game close. No new scoring happens to the rest of the regular season as the Warsaw Predators wins 3 - 1 while outshooting the Toronto Legion 13 to 7 in the third period, and 39 to 22 in the game.
