Brick wall goaltending coming up!
Chelsea 3 @ Revelstoke 0
Robin Lehner decided to shoot craps today, rolling a 7 on every quality chance he faced. During the first period, both Sorokin and Lehner stood tall, each stopping several quality chances. It wasn't until just past the 14 minute mark of the 2nd period, after 5 quality chances had been taken per side, that Bjorkstrand put the Daggers on the board. Marchand made it 2-0 in the dying second of the 2nd period, when the Mammoths started skating off the ice already, forgetting that the puck was still in play. Crosby potted a power play goal midway through the 3rd to make things unreachable. Overall, Lehner stopped all 8 quality chances, while Sorokin was no slouch, stopping 7 of 10. Strangely, it wasn't a lot of shots either, just fairly good shooting percentages (29 for Revelstoke, 34 for Chelsea)
Revelstoke 2 @ Chelsea 1 (OT)
Seguin started things off by coughing it up to Rakell just over 2 minutes into the game. Chelsea dominated the first period, taking 13 shots to 5 for the Mammoths, but couldn't get anything else past Sorokin for the rest of the game. The Revelstoke offence finally started getting into gear, and while the shots were even, quality chances went the way of the Mammoths, especially considering the Daggers took 6 penalties in a row, allowing the Mammoths to finally establish a presence in front of Lehner. It took until the 14th quality chance the Mammoths had this afternoon to solve Lehner. Despite having several good chances on the powerplay, nothing was solved, and while Crosby took a last minute penalty in the 3rd period, the Daggers killed that off too. Finally, on the ensuing faceoff following a successful penalty kill by the Daggers, Aaron Ekblad found the top corner in overtime. Once again Chelsea outshot Revelstoke, but this time the quality chances went the other way (9 on 26 vs 6 on 35).
Very tight games overall, and if it weren't for some stellar goaltending, the scores should have been significantly higher.
Revelstoke finishes the regular season, 15-5-2, awaiting the playoffs (that was a surprise considering the prior year's finish)
