Revelstoke 0 @ Oxford 5: Just like how we drew it up!
After getting yelled at for getting points in Shamrockville, the Mammoths played more like the supposed season's game plan and pretty much rolled over.
The first period saw Kris Letang and Wyatt Johnston score on a sleeping Sorokin, followed by 3 more in the second by Zibanejad, Kotkaniemi, and Debrusk.
No scoring in the third period at all, but none was needed for Montembeault to record a shutout, only having to stop 4 high danger chances coming from the Mammoths.
Shots were 52-32, so yet another game where Revelstoke was badly outplayed.
Oxford 5 @ Revelstoke 6 (OT): Angry Mammoths protest 2 point OT win, coach demands video review
Apparently a 6-5 OT game is a requirement against any team, so this series was no different. The teams traded goals in the first period, this time with Brossoit and Sorokin both being equally bad at goaltending, Dubois, Van Riemsdyk, Raymond, and Hayton on the powerplay doing the damage.
The second period saw the Mammoth d core activate, with Matheson and Grzelcyk both scoring again on a not-all-there Brossoit. The Oxford group, while having launched 15 shots on Sorokin, were not able to hit the net at all, allowing a two-goal lead to come about.
The third period saw Owen Tippett and Aaron Ekblad trade goals, and things were looking grim for the Rangers/United squad, but with two minutes to go and Sprong on instead of a goalie, Zibanejad makes it a one goal game, and in the dying second of the 3rd, Jake Debrusk is the hero, scoring a buzzer beater and tying the game at 5 on a forecheck against the rookie Blankenburg, and once again, the Mammoths go to yet another OT game.
OT sees Oxford win the faceoff, and promptly shoots the puck off Raymond in behind a surprised Brossoit who hadn't realized OT had started, causing an uproar on both benches, and both coaches yelling for a video review, as there was no supposed way Raymond could have gotten into the Oxford zone in 5 seconds to bounce an errant pass off his stick and in.
Both teams took a total of 44 shots, with 9 high danger chances for Revelstoke, and 7 for Oxford. Amazing goaltending!
Revelstoke wins their first game of the season in the strangest fashion, and now sits at 1-2-1-2.
