(Writing up each play rn so that the break between posts is short. Hoping to start between 3 and 4)



This is it, the series is all over tonight. Either the Panthers will knock the Riot out in the first round for the second straight season, or the Riot will finally get vengeance in front of this Los Angeles crowd. One notable statistic from this series before we take a look at our starting lineup, the home teams have combined for an 0-6 record so far in this series. Whether this storyline continues in favor of Seattle tonight, or Los Angeles' fans rally them to victory, we will have to wait and see.

Now, here are the visitor's starting lineup.

Here we are for the opening faceoff!

Winter wins the opening faceoff for Seattle and they get to work as quickly as possible. However, after a bad turnover by Winnfield, he takes a high-sticking penalty and the Panthers are on the powerplay only 40 seconds into the game.

Panthers test Rose with several shots..

Code:

0:51 of 1st period - Shot by Etienne Modano.
0:51 of 1st period - Shot Misses the Net.
0:53 of 1st period - Shot by Adrian Thomaz.
0:53 of 1st period - Stopped by Dustin Rose without a rebound.
0:58 of 1st period - Shot by Yuri Boyka.
0:58 of 1st period - Shot Blocked by Vsevolod Nikitin.
1:00 of 1st period - Shot by Brian Morley.

Rose is standing strong until Morley winds up with a huge slapper..

But Rose comes up huge! And Los Angeles is unable to cash in on this powerplay opportunity.

This game is already getting chippy only a couple minutes into this game..

Code:

3:02 of 1st period - Peter Parker is hit by Jigsaw McGraw and loses puck.
3:57 of 1st period - Yuri Boyka is hit by Chuck Winnfield and loses puck.
4:37 of 1st period - Valterri Bottas is hit by Adam Kylrad and loses puck.
4:49 of 1st period - Minor Penalty to Chuck Winnfield for Hooking.

And only a couple minutes after getting out of the penalty box, Winnfield is going right back in to give Los Angeles another opportunity.

Los Angeles wins the ensuing faceoff and they begin putting pressure on Seattle’s penalty kill.. Modano takes a big wrist shot from the high slot… but Koskinen gets in the way of that one. Pylon takes a shot after collecting the loose puck...

But Koskinen blocks it again! Seattle is sacrificing everything for this game, including their bodies, and Los Angeles is 0 for 2 so far on the powerplay.

Code:

5:53 of 1st period - Shot by Etienne Modano.
5:53 of 1st period - Shot Blocked by Mikko Koskinen.
5:55 of 1st period - Shot by Tomas Pylon.
5:55 of 1st period - Shot Blocked by Mikko Koskinen.
