The Calgary Wranglers have now played forty matches. Without further ado let us dive into our summaries.

 

3-5

Despite a clear shots advantage of 42-29 the Wranglers had to concede the game 5-3 due to the Velociraptor jinx. In the first period, neither team could break the dead lock. In the middle frame DC scored three unanswered goals. The Wranglers replied with goals by Ablar in power play and Wolanin as well as Gonçalves on even strength. Unfortunately, the Dragons recovered from that shock and scored two more goals to take the points in this match. The three best players were elected to be Lavelle (3g/0a), Vidot (0g/4a) and Kitson (1g/1a). On the goalie front, Dahl (.828) could not keep up with Utonium's (.929) performance. Calgary's power play was sub-par (1/6) the penalty kill without fault (2/2).

Marcel logged 0g, 1a, -1, 5 hits and 2sb

Daniel was reported with 0g, 1a, -1, 2 PIM (Tripping, no effect on the score), 4 hits and 57.14FO%

 

5-4 (SO)

In a match of two teams battling for the first seed in their conference, Calgary defeated Prague in a tight match 5-4 after shootout. The Czech site took an early lead and extended same to two in a power play, after Dan made his presence felt for the first time, when he checked Fire. The officials were of the opinion that the Swiss center showed too much enthusiasm and sent him to the sin bin for roughing. A couple of minutes later, the captain ironed out the kink by scoring and cutting Prague's lead in half. GoodBrandSun picks up a puck dump by the Phantoms and passes it to Wolanin, who sees Daniel lurking on Prague's blue line and sends him with a lob. Dan is first at the puck and is one-on-one with Wallob. The veteran gets tripped from behind, but Dan has the presence of mind to chip the puck above the netminder's blockers, while hitting the deck. In the second period, Wolanin was the only player to find the back of the net and so the game was tied going into the third. Daniel brought the Wranglers a lead for the first time this match with his second of the night at the start of the third frame. GoodBrandSun intercepted a pass by Love and relays the disc to Janser who onetimes it in the crossbar. The telltale 'ding' was audible even in the nosebleed section. Prague answers with two back-to-back power play markers, before Gonçalves ties the game again with only thirty-one seconds on the clock. The Sudden Death did not bring a decision, so it was shootout time. Wolanin, Gonçalves and Janser all showed that they have nerves like steel cables and converted their attempts, while Dahl parried Godlander's shot. Janser (2g/1a), Jokinen (1g/1a) and GoodBrandSun (0g/3a) were named the three stars of the night. Dahl (.902) had the upperhand on a rather mid duel with Wallob (.892) between the pipes. Calgary's lackluster special teams prevented a regulation win in this match with the power play being useless (0/4) and the penalty killing looking like a sieve (4/7).

Marcel had 0g, 0a, +1, 4 PIM (Slashing and Hooking, did not lead to goals against), 1 hit and 3sb to his name.

Daniel achieved 2g, 1a, 2 PIM (Roughing, Calgary got scored against), 4 hits, 2sb and 56.60FO%

 

2-3 (SO)

In a rematch of the first game featured in this article, the Wranglers took revenge in a 3-2 shootout victory. The Dragons were on the board early, with a power play goal within the first minute. Around the half-time mark, they increased their lead to two markers. The second period came and went without a goal being scored. In the third frame it was Gonçalves and Vladovechsenkchushkin who scored to tie the game. As is so often the case this season, the teams neutralized each other in the overtime and so the match went into shootout. Janser and GoodBrandSun converted for the Albertan team, while only Lavelle was succesful for DC. The three stars were awarded to Gonçalves (1g/1a), Vladovechsenkchushkin (1g/1a) and Dahl (40 saves). The latter (.952) also outplayed Utonium (.942) in a highclass showdown in net. Calgary was not able to convert the one power play opportunity they have had, but shut the door on five of the six penalty kill situations against them.

Marcel left the ice with a 0g, 0a, +2, 2 PIM (Hooking, no change to the score) , 4 hits and 1sb record

Daniel was noted with 0g, 0a, -1, 2 hits and 63.83FO%

 

4-5 (SO)

Before this match, Wolanin was apprehensive about getting the 100th Assist for the Red,White and Black. Daniel approached him in the locker room and said to his linemate: 'No worries, I got your back, bruh.' And the Captain delivered. He scored his first hattrick this season in a 5-4 shootout win against a surprisingly feisty Riga Reign. The Latvian site was on the score board first, but Janser equalized a mere two minutes later. After a puck relay, which included all five skaters of the first line, Daniel hammered the puck into the net from the hash mark. Less than a minute later Riga went ahead again. Daniel replied with his second of the night. Justice intercepts a pass, gives the biscuit to Janser. Janser to AG, the defender to left wing Wolanin, who sees Janser high in the slot and passes to the Rotkreuz native. Dan takes the rubber disc, and buries it backhand after a spinorama around his opponent. Riga tied the game in the second period with the only goal scored. Early in the third frame, the Swiss forward strikes again. Wolanin picks up the orphaned puck and passes it to his Captain. Dan needs a few attempts, but he is always first on his own rebounds, and Riga's defence is just not able to get him out of the danger zone. So the center prevails and finally beats the netminder. Not a beauty of a goal admittedly, but luckily they count as much as highlight reel material. Riga is able to tie the match again halfway through the period. Again the Sudden Death does not determine a winner, so the players have to line up for the shootout. Daniel does not even need to show up for this as all of Riga's attempts are either thwarted by Pedersen or lack of precision and Landon scored on his attempt. Janser (3g/0a), Frenchman (1g/1a) and Wolanin (0g/3a) were given the post-match honours. Pedersen (.789) could rely on his forwards to get the coals out of the fire and could not beat Riga's Tucker Jr (.925) who showed a solid game. Calgary's power play was a no-show (0/4) but the penalty kill was immaculate (3/3).

Marcel had 0g, 1a, -2 and 2sb

Daniel had 3g, 0a, +2, 10 hits and 64.29FO% to his name.

Marcel: 40gp, 2g, 26a, 28pts, +7, 52 PIM, 61 hits, 62sb, 2ppg
