Game 1: Cremona @ Shamrockville
Game 1 of the finals for the ’23-’24 year got underway last Tuesday.
Matthew Tkachuk sets the tone early for the Patriots with a perfectly timed, legal check but is given 2 minutes after the soft Jack Hughes flops around on the ice like a soccer player. The Patriots penalty kill is solid in keeping the Titans off the board.
At 5:12 Troy Terry leaves his feet and hits Joe Pavelski up high and is sent for 2, setting the Patriots up for their first PP of the series.
The home team converts on the PP as Nichushkin takes a feed from Lindell and McDavid to put the Patriots up 1-0 at 6:48.
Former Patriots Mikko Rantanen, ties the game up at 10:24 when Dahlin spots a blue line camping Svechnikov who then passes across for the easy Finnish finish.
Off the ensuing faceoff, Crosby then puts the Patriots back up 2-1 from Tkachuk and Petry, and Tavares pots a goal from McDavid and Burns at 19:12 to send the Patriots up 3-1 after the first period.
Adam Fox takes 2 minutes for slashing a mere ;48 into the second period but the Patriots can’t extend the lead on this opportunity.
Matthew Tkachuk makes it 4-1 at 8:48 from Crosby and Hathaway, before making it 5-1 at 14:00 on the same set play off the faceoff.
At the 14:24 mark the lesser Tkachuk, Brady, takes a penalty to send the Patriots PP back onto the ice where, despite 4-5+ ranges and 4 shots, the Patriots can’t find a single hard shot to seal the victory.
The third period is slow to start but at 15:12, Jason Robertson finds twine on a great individual effort to make it 6-2 to give the Patriots enough breathing room to play out the stretch. McDavid finally pots one at 16:48 before Matthew then takes a penalty at the 18:00 mark, where Pastrnak makes it 7-3 from Matthews and Pesce. If Shamrockville coach O’Sheigh had just kept his mouth shut and not reminded the Titans coach of the bonus’s on the PP, this goal wouldn’t have counted, but Pastrnak is credited with a goal at 19:59.98 of the period.
Patriots win game 1 by a 7-3 score.
Shamrockville was 44 shots – 14 Hard for 6 ES goals and 1 PP Goal.
Cremona was 45 shots – 11 Hard for 2 ES goals and 1 PP Goal.
Faceoffs were 27-15 with 5 A wins for Shamrockville.
