Game 1:
Game one sees the titans fly into Shamrockville to start the yearly hostilities.
At least that goes according to plan, with the goat horned Jason Robertson getting sent off for 2 minutes at the 2:12 mark of the first. Thankfully the titans offense seemed to still be waiting at the baggage carousel and the Patriots escape any damage.
Thankfully, that mistake seems to ignite the Patriots bench and a few shifts later, Lawson Crouse is rewarded with a nice pass from Tavares and Crouse makes it 1-0 for the home side at 6:24.
Not to be outdone, McDavid and Nichushkin get sprung up ice by Oleksiak, where Nichushkin freezes young Dahlin and allows McDavid to deposit the puck into a wide open net past Samsonov at 13:36.
Hellebuyck holds the fort against 3 good quality chances from the Titans to preserve the 2-0 lead into the second period.
The teams trade chances throughout the second period, but neither team can solve the others goalie and the only real action comes at 18:24 when Brandon Carlo and Brady Tkachuk drop the gloves after what Tkachuk felt was a questionable hit by Carlo along the boards. Replay clearly shows that the hit was a legal, hard body check and that Tkachuk is a whiny little mewling infant.
The third period opens up with a huge open ice hit by Trenin on Dahlin, that sends the young superstar to the infirmary for the remainder of the game at 2:24.
Minutes later it gets worse for the Titans with McDavid spotting Crouse coasting in front of Samsonov and fires a perfect slap pass that Crouse deflects home for his 2nd of the night at 4:48.
The glove slaps on the bench had just stopped when David “El Dente” Pastrnak rifles a bullet off the crossbar and in, from a sweet feed from Matthews, to stun the home side fans at 6:00.
Serious hockey once again prevails and the teams tighten up the sloppy defensive play until 11:12 when, once again, Carlo and Brady Tkachuk drop the gloves, not seeming to have finished their earlier “discussion”.
Two minutes later, John Tavares takes a two line pass right at the Titans blue line and dekes Samsonov out of the blue paint to put the Patriots up 4-1 at 13:12 mark.
Brady Tkachuk, clearly not winning in the fighting department, decides to actually help his team on the scoresheet instead, and at the 18:24 mark takes the pass from Fox and slides home a goal past Hellebuyck to make it a 4-2 deficit.
That`s as close as they could get with Matthew Tkachuk finding the Empty Net at 19:36 to seal this one for the Patriots 5-2 win at home.
Shamrockville was 34 shots, 9 Hard, 5 goals, 1 of those as an EN.
Cremona was 44 shots, 7 Hard, 2 goals.
The newly installed Jason Robertson tracker revealed a penalty, two icings, two lackluster 6’s, a P3, and 2 shots on his 7 touches of the puck. He looks like Huberdeau after going to the Flames.
Game 2:
The teams fly into Cremona to finish off their home and home series, and Mason Marchment gets to quiet the home crowd at 2:36 of the first period as he scores on a Penalty shot to put the Pat’s up 1-0 early.
Things don’t get any easier for the home team, as they are completely undisciplined and take 4 penalties in the first period alone.
Dahlin goes off at 4:12 and McDavid makes him pay at 5:12 with a PP marker from Tavares and Nichushkin to make it a 2-0 lead for the Patriots. This has all the markings of being a long night for the Titans, so of course we know that means that the wheels fall off for the Patriots.
Lundell goes for 2 minutes at the 6:00 mark, but the Patriots sticks have seized up and nothing goes right on the ensuing PP.
Brady Tkachuk goes off at the 8:48 mark, and the Patriots look like they’d rather have declined the penalty as they all but kill off the PP for the Titans with errant passes, stoppages and ill-advised shot attempts through both defensemen.
At 11:12, Damon Severson is admiring an outlet pass when he is demolished by Oleksiak and has to get some smelling salts and stitches, but would remain in the game (-2).
To end the shambles of the first period, David “El Dente” Pastrnak takes a tripping call at 18:48 of the period to send the home team off down two goals, demoralized and being boo’d by the crowd.
At 2:48 of the 2nd period, Matthews spots Brady Tkachuk at the side of the net, drops a pass to him and Tkachuk somehow finds an opening to squeak a shot through to get the home team on the board.
Rantanen gets the crowd going with a face washing and shoving match with Tavares, showing zero respect to his elders, both men go for 2 minutes at 5:12.
Patriots defender, Brent Burns, takes a horrible hooking call at 13:36 to stall a tiny bit of Patriots pressure at 13:36. The TV timeout allows the Titans to get their skates under them again and they are rewarded at 19:36 with a goal from local boy Eichel on a feed from new Titan Ehlers, tying the game up at 2-2.
The Patriots seem utterly jet lagged in the 3rd period and can’t get any form of actual resistance going as the Titans swarm Kuemper the whole period.
at 6:48 Rantanen puts the home team up 3-2 on a nice outlet pass from Brett Pesce.
Jack Eichel and Adam Fox team up for a nice give and go that Eichel finishes to put the home team up 4-2 at 10:00.
The Patriots are floundering all over the ice by this point, looking more like an ECHL team than any sort of competition at this highest level.
Brett Pesce goads Marchment into matching minor roughing calls at the 14:48 mark, and while they sit in the box, Troy Terry takes the puck in alone on a line change and blasts one past an incensed Kuemper for a 5-2 Titans lead.
Kuemper during the tv timeout, is heard shouting to the bench that “this is my last game as a Patriot you clowns.”
Reluctantly, Pat’s coach O’Sheigh honors his wishes and pulls him for an extra skater instead.
The Pat’s have control for most of the remainder, but do absolutely nothing with it. Andrei Svechnikov fires a shot in disgust, into the corner rather than into an open net at 18:24 and seems angry when J. Hughes feeds him again at 18:48 for another shot, which he blasts out of play at 18:48.
After the game while being interviewed, Svechnikov says that “In Soviet Russia, you don’t dishonor an opponent like that. No effort to score on empty net, we just don’t do that.”
Shamrockville was 41 shots, 6 hard, 2 goals, 1 PP, 1 PS.
Cremona was 36 shots, 13 hard, 5 goals.
The Jason Robertson tracker revealed 3 touches of the puck with a P2, P2 and a 3 as his tepid contributions.
He sucks August heat sweaty, salt and mud encrusted donkey balls through lederhosen.
Shamrockville 6-2 after 8 games.
