d3vilsfire 132 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Part II of the continuation of the Playoff Overview. Part I can be found here: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/9668-moscow-playoff-overview-part-i/ As of now, the series was 2-1 in Moscow’s favor, however this quickly changed in game 4. Turku evened the series with the 5-3 win over Moscow in game 4. The Red Wolves were outshot 25-32 and did not look good for basically the entire game save the first 7 minutes of the 3rd period and the last minute of the 3rd period. Canseco was not exactly amazing this game, 27 saves on 32 shots (.844 sv %), but everything cannot be blamed on the goalie. For the goalie to face the shot, means that the forwards and defense had to fail at preventing the puck from reaching the goalie. Overall, it was not a good performance for Moscow, though Leo Dalton of the Moscow Red Wolves was the game’s third star with 1g, 1a and a +2 in this game. This back and forth series continued as Moscow took the lead again in game 5, but this game was close to the game 2 that Turku won against Moscow. Moscow won game 5 by a score of 6-2, though they were outshot by Turku, 23-43. Moscow goalie, Jose Canesco had an amazing game, stopping 41 shots out of 43 shots (.953 sv %) and the team overall preformed very well. Steve Tremblay scored a hat trick and added on an assist in the game, which earned him first star honors. Jackson Miller also had a fantastic game scoring 2 goals and 2 assists, earning him second star honors. Roland Brice was the third star and he had 1 goal in the game. This performance displayed the potential that Moscow had in winning the series, and now Moscow was poised to win the series as they were leading the series 3-2 with a decisive game 6 up next. This decisive game 6 ended in the first period as Turku completely decimated the Red Wolves, and basically put an end to the hopes that Moscow had. This was the second game that Turku had completely destroyed the Red Wolves in the playoff series and were displaying that they were a stronger team. Turku evened up the series 3-3 with their 7-2 win in game 6. Moscow goalie, Jose Canesco was pulled this game 15 minutes and 29 seconds into the game having only stopped 10 shots on 16 shots faced. Alfie Forever went into the game, being featured for the second time in the playoffs and second time this series. Playing for 44 minutes and 31 seconds, Forever stopped 26 shots on 27 shots faced. There was not much else notable on the Moscow Red Wolves side, but one could see the hopelessness on the Moscow players’ faces. In the post game interviews, the players talked about how both Head Coach Kudryashov and GM Wayne gave a very inspiring speech in the locker room at the end of the game in hopes of boosting morale for game 7.
