Game 3 Recap

 

A close game like this just seems begging for a trivia answer, but unfortunately trivia is dead and never to come back, which is forcing me to write this post. Anyway, given the eventual sweep, the Aces will look back on this one and wish they had it. The Reapers got out to the early 3-0 lead, but the Aces scraped and clawed to make it 4-3 by the end of the second period, then eventually 4-4 with Manuel Ceson's goal in the third period. That sent the game to OT, but Joel Jakobs ended up being the hero. Props are also earned by Bret Weier, whose four point game earned him the first star. The 5-4 OT victory gave the Reapers just one more victory to get the Founder's Cup victory.

 

Game 4 Recap

 

And get that victory the Reapers did, this time in a bit more dominating fashion. Fresh off his Game 3 OT winner, Jakobs kept the hot streak going with two goals and an assist to clinch the series. Interesting, the shot disparity was closer in this game, with the Reapers only outshooting the Aces 27-26. But Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun was a very deserving second star in stopping the strong Las Vegas offense and outdueling future first round pick Deadpanda. Overall, a sweep might not have been what experts expected entering the series, but it was a well-deserved win for the Reapers. Now they can go back to Broad Street and celebrate with a parade!
