Game 1 Bonavista at Viking
Markstrom decides the last 2 games of the season are a perfect time to try and raise his own stats and decides to play like a much better goalie. First period is pretty even with each team getting 3 chances but Markstrom shuts the door while Vejmelka allows 2 of 3. Cirelli and Strome are credited at 3:36 and 6:48 respectively. The second period the vistors take over and double up the shots on Viking while out chancing them 5 to 0. Vejmelka stops 2 of 4 before being pulled with an injury and Ulmark lets in 1 of 1. Keller, Zucker and Newhook get the goals. The third sees life return to the Viking players and they take the edge outshooting Bonavista 19-11 and outchancing them 4-2. however its not enough to overcome the bad second period as markstrom stops 2 of the chances and Ulmark stops 0. Goals by Gallagher and Cotter for Viking and Hamilton and Johnson. Cotter was a pp goal while Hamilton scored on a Penalty shot (off the goalie card and not a broken stick which was unusual to see)
Bonavista 7 (45 shots, 10 hard) @ Viking 2 (39 shots, 7 hard)
Game 2 Viking at Bonavista
Viking comes out flying scoring 2 goals in first 2 minutes (Laughton and Evangalista). After that though the Bonavista defense completely shuts them down only allowing another 3 shots, none of any significance in the period. Meanwhile offensively they fire 12 shots, 2 hard, at Vejmelka but cant solve him before he once again reaggravates his groin and is pulled in favor of Ulmark. Ulmark stops all 3 shots, 1 hard, and the vistors go off for a 2-0 lead. The second period is evenly paced but both goalies put on a clinic. Markstrom comes out of nowhere stopping 8 of 9 high danger chances while Ulmark stops 4 of 4. this takes Viking to the break up 3 after a goal by Hutton. Bonavista tries to make it interesting with a quick goal by Lundkvist at 2:48 of the 3rd but then stall out and an overworked Markstrom lets in a couple of softies at 5:12 and 9:12 to kill any momentum (Cotter and Graves respectively). Bonavista does pull one back at 15:36 from Johnson but that was the only chance they had to take them to the end of the season
Viking 5 (33 shots, 14 hard) at Bonavista 2 (43 shots, 9 hard)
notes:
Bonavista had no powerplays in this series while Viking had 7
Hamilton's PS was off the goalie card which is a first for me
Viking had 2 hard shot blocks, Bonavista had 1
Viking did manage to successfully stop a P5 pass from Keller which was funny to see but also disappointing
