And to start out after the goal the two teams seem very tentative as the both teams exchange icings:
Quote:11:51 of 2nd period - Icing by Mia Landvik.
11:52 of 2nd period - Joe Kurczewski wins face-off versus Artemi Berezin in New England Wolfpack zone.
12:13 of 2nd period - Icing by Mikko Linna.
12:14 of 2nd period - Joe Kurczewski wins face-off versus Xander Green in Calgary Dragons zone.
Despite being down 3-0, Calgary is severely struggling to generate any offense…
And it is compounded as Otis B. Driftwood commits a hooking penalty as Czerkawski tries to enter the Dragons’ zone.

Dragons’ shooting themselves in the foot, down more than half way through 2nd period.

The powerplay is for naught as the Wolfpack test the strength of the boards for two minutes.

Time running out in the second, can Calgary manage to grab a goal back before the 3rd period of play?

As the period whines down, Mike Izzy commits another bad penalty with only 26 seconds remaining in the period.
Quote:Mike Izzy (CAL) for Tripping (Minor) at 19:34
Poor discipline there as the period closes out.

Down 3-0 entering the third and final period of play in Game 1 of the S42 Challenge Cup Finals, Calgary will have to muster one hell of a comeback to even put this game to overtime.
Joe Kurczewski and Xander Green skate up for the opening face off in this final period of regulation hockey. Kurczewski wins the face off and Calgary gets possession to start the third period.

I beg someone else try to shoot on target because this is getting ridiculous. Incredible effort from New England on the penalty kill as they only allow two shots on target and now it begs the question, can Calgary at least avoid the shutout in Game 1 on home ice?

As we pass the halfway mark in the third period, it seems that the answer to that question is unlikely as New England seems to be matching the Dragons at every shot.
It seems like the Dragons are becoming restless and frustrated.
AND DRIFTWOOD DROPS THE GLOVES AND STARTS TO BRAWL WITH ISAAC KAISER! OH BOY ITS KICKING OFF HERE IN THE SADDLEDOME! LINE BRAWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
AS THAT FIGHT ENDS, PATRIKOV BURE BEGINS TO FIGHT WITH ALEX MACK! MACK GETS CLOBBERED! OH BOY ANOTHER FIGHT HAS BROKEN OUT BETWEEN SHOOTER MCGAVIN AND MANUEL GOTZE! ITS AN ALL OUT BRAWL ON THE ICE!
OH BOY THE REFEREES HAVE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE HERE!

This got to be some record for missed/blocked shots in the final game, but I'll take that!
The action on the ice has finally been subdued and there is a laundry list of penalties to read off.
Code:
Otis B. Driftwood (CAL) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Isaac Kaiser (NEW) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Otis B. Driftwood (CAL) for instigated a fight (Game Misconduct) at 12:48
Alex Mack (CAL) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Patrikov Bure (NEW) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Shooter McGavin (CAL) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Manuel Gotze (NEW) for Fighting (Major) at 12:48
Nicholas Pedersen (CAL) for Charging (Minor) at 12:48
Mia Landvik (NEW) for Charging (Minor) at 12:48
Michael Boychuk (CAL) for Holding (Minor) at 12:48
Driftwood is tossed and the Dragons’ chances may well and truly be dead in the water for Game 1. Also 10 penalties in one shift has got to be some kind of record for the Finals.
Comical scenes in the penalty boxes…
