Reviewing Ducks vs Blackhawks, Bruins vs Mammoth October 19th Games

Reviewing Ducks vs Blackhawks, Bruins vs Mammoth October 19th Games

Welcome back. All right, it is time to review the other two games from today’s action. If you’re looking for a review of the first two games that’s already on the channel. Uh so we’ll go ahead. We’ll just again just jump into the first one, which is Anaheim and Chicago. And I have to say this was a highly entertaining game. Uh it it doesn’t necessarily look like that on the board, but it was a highly entertaining game. Uh these are two teams that I think are are building themselves towards being contenders. And I was thinking as this was winding down too, like there was a time where Anaheim and Chicago were the best teams in the West. Who knows, maybe we get back to that say four or five years from now. Anyways, Dostell versus Knight. There’s an early press by Anaheim. The Hawks then press at 3 minutes. The Ducks get a power play. There’s a short-handed breakaway by McKay. That’s saved. Power plays killed off. McKay continues to have a very good season for the Chicago Blackhawks. Uh Burkovsky with a near miss as the Hawks presto style holds there. The shots are four a piece at 6 and 1/2 minutes. Uh the Ducks press at 7 and 1/2 minutes. Uh Chicago draws a power play. There’s a short-handed chance for Vrano. He’s denied in close. Um that power play is killed off. Then Sligert misses one wide on a rush opportunity. The Hawks press with 7 and 1/2 minutes left. They are kept to the outside there. Ducks draw a power play. That’s killed off. Two shots on net. Anaheim presses in the final minute. We have a 000 score, but we have 26 shots in that first period. So, there was no lack of chances, just both goalenders standing on their heads. Second period, uh, Knight makes some nice saves early as Anaheim has the the, uh, pressure. Uh, Khorn has a one-time this kick aside. The Hawks get pinned down. They’re blocking out the path to the net as well as they can, but the shots are still seven to nothing Anaheim at 3 minutes. Interestingly enough, according to the shot count, that was it for Anaheim shots in the second period. Just bizarre weird game. The Hawks press at 5 and 1/2 minutes. There’s a shoulder save on Bard. The Ducks get pinned down a little bit. Uh Burkovsky has a net drive chance that’s blocked out. Shots are seven to three for the Ducks with 8 and 1/2 minutes left. Uh fans call one. The referee does not. McKay fires one wide on a rush. The Ducks Ducks draw their third power play. And this is where we get into a little bit of a parade to the box. We get 27 seconds of fouron four after that. Then we get a minute and 29 seconds of four on four that follows that. Then we get 4 seconds of fouron four. And then we have Hawks power play that basically lines up with the clock to take it up to the end of the second period. Nazar has a one-time that’s fired wide. Everything gets killed off. We’re back to five on five to start the third period. Uh Donado has a rush chance that’s blocked. There’s a chess save on a rush by Zelwigger. Uh Green has a slot shot that’s blocked. There’s a near miss then for Renzel as the Blackhawks are putting on some more pressure. Grizzlick has a screenshot that’s held. The shots on net are three apiece at five minutes, but I thought the Chicago Blackhawks were stronger in those first five minutes. Uh Chicago presses at 6 minutes. Bertusi has a stick break on a tipped opportunity, so he has to go get a new stick. Teams trade rushes and turnovers. Uh there’s a post for Krider. The Hawks clear. And then at 9:42 of the third period, the first goal finally goes in. Uh Nazar buries a rebound after Kaiser hit the post. So Kaiser and Donata with the assists at 942. Uh the Hawks then press for another. So they have some momentum going their way and they’re looking for another goal. Uh Grizzlick has a shot this blocker to side. The Ducks are pinned down again. Shots are 7 to six for the Ducks with 7 and 1/2 minutes left. Um and yeah, so that’s the same shot total we had at the end of the second period. Uh, so there Kaiser saves a McTavish goal. So McTavish frustrated with that. Kaiser, nice save there. Uh, Granland has a net feed that’s picked off. Things get scrummy on a hole by night. The Ducks press with three and a half minutes left. With 147 left, there’s a delay game call that gives the Ducks the power play. So Joel Quinville calls the timeout and he pulls the goalender as the power play is getting started. There’s a post for Lome. And then at 1921, McTavish goes top shelf from the right circle. Beautiful goal. Uh the assist to Terry and Lome. I still don’t know how he found that space, but he did. We have a 1-1 tie. We are going to overtime. Uh the Hawks controlled early. Bard has a shot that’s kicked aside. The teams trade rushes. Zelwiggers tonight on a turnover. McKay’s denied on a two-on-one rush. This was an exciting overtime. And then at 258, Donado chips one in from in close after a two-on-one rush by the Hawks. Bardarden Renzel with the assist. So at 258 of overtime, Chicago gets the winner. Uh two to1 overtime victory. So the chess magnets on the board because three goals are less in that game. Shots on net 16-10 Anaheim in the first, 76 Anaheim in the second. 13-9 Anaheim in the third and then 5-3 Chicago in the overtime, including the shot that matters. Final shots 39 to30 for Anaheim. Uh the power plays Anaheim 1 for5 Chicago 0 for three. The hits 30 to 26 for Anaheim. Do style saves 28 out of 30. He was very good, but Spencer Knight continues to just rack up games like this. 38 saves on 39 shots. Um, yeah, Chicago’s not not going to be an easy one to beat this year. I’m going to keep saying it. All right, the other game, the last game of the day to discuss is Boston and Utah. So, it’s Corposal versus Vanichek. Battle of the backups in this one. Uh, Acimon is a wristra that’s held. The Bruins press at 3 minutes. We have a fight between Castellik and O’Brien. Uh Utah draws a power play and they score on it. At 420, I just I have to pause because there’s laughter. Uh but at 420, it’s a chip shot over Corpusal. And in with the goal from Schmaltz and Keller. So Utah with a one- nothing lead. Bruins look to respond. Peak has a shot that’s held. We get some pushing there. Uh power play for Boston soon after. Uh Boston wasn’t able to set up early. That power play was killed off. Just the one shot on net. Shots are 7 to2 in favor of Boston at 9 and a half minutes. So unlike yesterday against Colorado, Boston was getting those opportunities and those shots early. Uh Schmidz tonight as Utah presses. Castillic has a net feed that’s blocked. The Bruins go back to the power play. Utah prevents an early setup again, but Boston would score on this power play at 1438. Uh Pastnock tips one from the side of the net to tie the game at one. The assist to Zaka and Makavoy. Boston looks for the lead, but Utah would draw a power play. Uh, Zidorov going to the box. I’d like to apologize because I did mention in a video last week that, you know, Zidorov hasn’t taken many penalties and since then he’s he’s taken some penalties. So, my bad. Um, so that power play was killed off. Pretty good penalty kill by Boston there. Simv has a wristra that’s held. Evens up the shots at 10 late in the first period. Purka then has a net drive chance that’s held. It’s 1-1 after one. Second period early press or early power play I should say by Boston. Uh Makavoy is a one-timer that’s held. That power play is killed off, but it had some opportunities. Just just didn’t get a goal on that that uh that that one opportunity on the power play. Uh Utah presses at 4 and a half minutes. Stenland fires one wide. The Bruins rush. And at 546 on a twoon-one rush, Boston gets the lead. Uh Posternok scores on the two-on-one on a given go. Husnov with the assist. So nice play there. Uh Utah then draws a power play. They struggle to set up early. So both penalty kills able to get that working for him. Uh that one’s killed off. McBain is denied after. Uh things get pushy at a hole by Corpusal. Jano then has a rush chance that’s held. Utah goes back to the power play. That leads to a short-handed chance by Jano. That’s held. Power play is killed off. Things get punchy in a hold by Corposalo. We get two minutes of four on four to to to get those shenanigans out of the game. Uh but Utah presses and during the fouron four just before it’s completed, uh Keller gets a goal at 1556 to tie the game at two. The assist to Schmaltz and Cole. So it’s a cross crease pass and in to tie the game at two. Bruins press with 2 and 1/2 minutes left. Posternok fires one wide on a rush. Things are kind of pushy at the horn. It’s 2-2 after two. Third period. Uh early press by the Mammoth. Geeki has a rush that’s defended. Shots are three nothing for the Mammoth at 4 minutes. Uh Bruins press at 5 minutes. They’re kept to the outside and then Jano takes a dumb penalty. Referee’s got his arm up for the for the line changes and he just slashes the Utah player right in front of the ref. So I know I was watching the Nessen broadcast and I know the Nessen broadcast felt like it was kind of a cheap penalty, but he slashed. It’s a slash and don’t don’t give them an excuse to send send you to the box. So, I thought it was a just a dumb penalty by Jano. Um, I I didn’t mind the referee calling it because what are what are you doing there? Um, but anyways, uh, the Bruins prevent an early setup again. They kill this one off as well. Uh, Boston clears after it’s done. Then we have Purka to Gunther. There’s a near miss and then they try again and it works. Uh, 10:37, it’s Gunther with a one-timer from the left circle. Purka with the assist. So, that gives Utah the lead back at 3 to2. Uh, Utah presses with 5 and a half minutes left. They’re kept to the outside with 509 left. Boston gets another power play that was killed off by Utah as well. Really effective penalty kill. Uh the goalie pull happens with a minute and a half left with 48.7 seconds left. Boston calls a timeout. Uh the Bruins then go offside with 40.4 seconds left. And uh they weren’t really able to get much of anything at the net. And so Utah with the big win tonight over the Boston Bruins at 3 to2. First time I’ve used that Utah magnet, too. There you go. Uh shots on net 11-10 Utah in the first 13 to8 Boston in the second 7 to4 Utah in the third. Final shots 27 to 26 for Boston. Power plays Boston 1 for4 Utah 1 for5 the hits 23 to 21 for Boston. Corposalo 23 saves on 26 shots. Vanichek had a good night 25 saves on 27 shots uh in the battle of the backups. So now we have to talk about where everybody stands in the standings. All right. So again, it is early in the season. So we do see some movement with Vancouver’s win. They are now 4-2. They are third in the division. So eight points, they are three points clear of Anaheim. Anaheim with that single point today. They’re actually ahead of the Oilers now because they have a game in hand. So the Oilers drop all the way to fifth. Standard slow start for Edmonton in a season. They they got off to a good start and now they’ve slowed down again. Um so they’re ahead of the Kings, the Sharks, and the Flames. Uh out in the central, Utah now finds themselves third with their 4-2 record. Chicago at 32 and two, so they’ve played more games than everybody else, but they’re still fourth with eight points in seven games. Uh that drops down St. Louis and Dallas to fifth and sixth, respectively. Out in the Atlantic, it is Detroit’s year. This is the year they make the playoffs, right? Uh they’re five- one, 10 points in six games. So they have a very similar record to the other division leaders. Good on them. Uh, with that loss, Boston actually drops below Florida. And these, again, these are standings I got directly from the NHL site. So, Florida and Boston play each other on Tuesday. Do you think there’s going to be a fight? I think there’s going to be a fight. And then I think there’s going to be another one. And then I think there’s going to be another one. Anyways, uh, that should be entertaining. Uh, Buffalo still here, but at two and three, they have two games in hand on both Boston and Florida. So Boston and Florida could be in a little bit of trouble here and Buffalo could make some hay. Come on Buffalo. Um and then you’ve got Ottawa and Tampa surprisingly at the bottom of the division. I don’t see how that’s going to continue either. Then we go to the Metro. Uh the Washington Capitals with their loss. They actually dropped behind Pittsburgh. So they have the same record as Pittsburgh, but they’re listed below the Pittsburgh Penguins. Uh and I believe, yeah, they were the only Metro team that was playing today. We have five games tomorrow. We have 10 games on Tuesday. I will be previewing those games tomorrow morning. So, yeah, should be should be a fun uh fun upcoming week. And starting on I figure on Tuesday I’m going to change this from having each division and make it so that it’s three for Pacific, three for Central, two wild cards. Then I’ll have the uh Thanos glove to to signify that’s your playoff line. And then the eight teams that aren’t in the playoffs here. And same with the East. So looking forward to that. But I did want to, you know, show how everything is within the division first before we get into looking at the actual playoff picture, which we will starting on. I think Tuesday night’s a good night for that. We’ll be up to basically everybody will have played seven games. There might be a team that’s played six. And uh but yeah, everybody should be up around the same. And we’ll be about 10% of the way through the season by the end of this coming week. So happens fast. All right.
