Claimed: Dropping #3 [1/2]

[Arthur 133]

It’s a frustrating feeling. We are two games away and we lose this match. I wanted so bad this serie to be over in four, and now we have an extra match to play. The bright side however is that we’ll have match five at home. We’ll be able to win and lift this cup in front of our fan that supported us all season long. If it wasn’t of that, i think it would have affected me more than right now. If we had to play game five at Las Vegas, it would have been a blow for me. I’m new in town, what’s best than to win in front of the people that encouraged me since day one and believed in me even when we got into a small losing streak.

 

I’m not sure how it happened, why we lost, but i know i feel responsible of it. We didn't lose 1-0 or 2-1. We lost 4-3 in regular time. Had i blocked one of those goals we wouldn't be here to talk about it. We’d be heading into the decisive game four pumped to win it. We lost our 40 games winning streak, including playoff, and that’s what sting the most.

 

The game started well for us. We had a few power play, but we were unable to score. However, we actually scored the first goal. Varis Tribuncovs managed to deflect a shot from Veran Dragomir and put us ahead of them a little bit after ten minutes. A minutes later, that’s when the ship sunk. Otto Axelsson, of all of them … Axelsson scored. With impartiality, a great tic-tac-toe play from him, Bryce Zhields and Jonas Vilhjalmsson. With partiality, a fucking disgusting play for a goaltender. I think i was more upset that he was the one scoring than the fact Las Vegas scored. One goal isn’t the end of the world, but from him, it’s frustrating. Twitter didn’t calm down since the end of the season and i think if i could, i’d shove him a bit. Unfortunately, he’s never coming close enough of the crease and he doesn’t stay long enough either.

 

After that, in the second period, i managed to calm down a bit and we got back the lead, after a goal from Veran Dragomir. Once again however, it didn’t last more than one minutes. No Points managed to find the net a bit over my shoulder and we were tied once again. We got another power play after the goal, but once again, the team wasn’t able to outplay Marcel St-Laurent. Then, five minutes before the end of the period, Bryce Zhields put the Aces ahead following a pass from I won’t name him. They were now leading 3-2. We still had 20 minutes to go, and i was hoping everyone in the team, including me, would be able to rally.

 

The last 20 minutes were heavy catch up hockey. Especially the last 16, since Johannes Vilhjalmsson managed to put the Aces 4-2 over us. Theo Lefevre managed to score five minutes before the end, but it was too late already.

The series is interesting now can Vegas pull the comeback off? Or will Yukon prove it was just a fluke?

Review:

Great write-up. Sometimes it sucks in the VHL/VHLM as a goalie. The sim really screws you over sometimes, even though you have the better goalie...

You'll do some good things in the VHL though, I know that. You're on your way.
