Game 1: Viking @ Shamrockville
The new expansion team from Viking flies into Shamrockville for a late Saturday set.
Things don’t start well for the invading Viking team as McDavid opens the scoring at 4:48 of the first period on a setup from Nichushkin.
Hathaway and Shaw exchange “pleasantries” at 6:24 and take 2 minutes each to cool off.
Tyson Barrie is somehow left alone at the side of the Patriots crease and jams home a loose puck at 8:48 to level things at 1-1. Tuch and Compher drawing assists.
Unfortunately, Compher celebrates a bit too long and is sent off at 9:12 for unsportsmanlike, and Nichushkin makes him pay on the ensuing PP on a setup from Oleksiak and Scheifele, sending the home team back up by one goal.
Seconds later, Tavares and Laughton are called, Tavares for a cross check, Laughton for a slash as things start to get heated.
As soon as Laughton is out of the box, he get’s an opportunity off of a broken stick of a McNabb attempt, but he pushes the shot wide of the net.
The teams seem reasonably close with a slight edge to the home team in quality opportunities.
The second period sees the home team extend their lead early, to 3-1, with Scheifele ripping a shot past Ullmark at 2:24 on a nice passing play from McNabb and Tkachuk.
Off the ensuing faceoff, Tkachuk is the recipient of a broken stick gift from Tuch, but he also drives the shot wide.
Tanner Jeanot and Carlo get 2 minutes each for roughing at 3:36, and Vlasic gets 2 minutes at 4:24 as this game really starts to look like a Viking raid.
The Patriots own resident Viking, Brent Burns, nearly decapitates Ullmark as he rifles a shot bar down for a 4-1 Patriots lead at 6:00. Bergeron and Bjugstad drawing assists here.
Not to be outdone, the marauding Garnet Hathaway makes it 5-1 off a feed from Bergeron and Mcnabb at the 10:00 mark and the route is on.
At 17:36 Jason Dickinson is sent in on a breakaway after Carlos stick explodes, but he is unable to put the puck past Hellebuyck.
The third period doesn’t get much better for the visiting Flying Sutters, as Lawson Crouse finds twine at 2:48 from McDavid and Tavares and the Patriots are in control at 6-1.
McDavid then puts an exclamation point on it at 3:36 on a drop pass from Tavares and it’s 7-1.
On the very next shift, Scheifele makes it 8-1 from Robertson and Tkachuk at 5:36.
Clearly in control, the Patriots rile up the visiting squad and Scheifele goads Jeanot into a retaliatory penalty at 6:24 and both men sit for 2 minutes.
McNabb gets called for tripping at 8:48 and on the ensuing power play, Evan Rodriguez takes a cross ice feed from Tuch and Barrie for a power play marker just as the penalty expires at 10:48 to make it 8-2.
Lawson Crouse and Jeanot get 2 minutes each for rouging at 11:12.
13:12 sees another stick break by Vlasic, giving Jamie Oleksiak a chance, but he blasts the shot wide of the net as well.
Mark Scheifele once again takes 2 minutes at 16:48, and nearly costs the Patriots a goal when Carlos stick breaks for the second time on the night at 17:36, gifting Jason Dickinson a 4-12 shot on net…… which he fails to convert.
Gallagher gets 2 minutes late, at 19:12 to finish off the game.
Patriots were 70 shots, 20 quality, 1 PP goal , 7 ES goals. 14 PM’s
Flying Sutters were 36 shots, 8 quality, 2 goals. 16 PM’s
There were 5 broken sticks in this game, resulting in 0 shots on goal.
Game 2: Shamrockville @ Viking
Back in the confines of the Viking Granola Agro-Dome, the Flying Sutters hoped to erase the last game in Shamrockville and give their fans a solid 60 minute performance.
Early in the first period, Mason Marchment gives the home team an opportunity, taking an undisciplined penalty at 1:12 but the Patriots PK is up to the task.
Instead, late substitution Tom Wilson gets the games first goal at 4:24, taking a feed from Scheifele and Robertson to put the visitors up 1-0.
Tkachuk and Dickinson renew the hostilities at 7:36, each getting 2 minutes for roughing in a scrum after the whistle.
At 8:48, Tavares makes it 2-0 for the Patriots as he puts away some garbage in the crease after a Jamie Oleksiak point shot.
Alex Tuch gets the Flying Sutters on the board at 9:36 as Graves and Barrie work the point and finally get a pass down low to the Viking star.
It’d seem that the Flying Sutters have had enough at this point as Morgan Reilly and Tom Wilson square off at center ice, probably not who Reilly wanted as a dance partner though. Both men get 5:00 in the box.
Unfortunately, this only seems to send the Patriots into a new gear and Tkachuk puts the Patriots up 3-1 at 13:36 from McNabb and Robertson.
Tom Wilson is awarded a penalty shot at 16:24, after getting tripped up on a clear chance, but he can’t convert on the yawning cage.
Tkachuk takes a shift off and then comes back out to make it 4-1 at 18:24 off a give and go from Robertson to extend the lead.
Rodriguez takes 2:00 at 19:36 to close out an eventful first period.
Coming out in the second period, Christian Fischer get’s a great SH chance when Tavares stick explodes at :48, but he is unable to convert.
Once again the Patriots offer up an early PP when Hathaway is called for hooking at 4:00. But the Patriots PK limits the chances and preserves their lead.
At 6:24 Brent Burns is the recipient of a breakdown shot when Barries stick breaks, but Burns can’t find the range and pushes the shot wide.
Moments later though, Ekholm finds himself in front of Ullmark and makes no mistake, putting the Patriots up 5-1, when Bergeron puts the puck right on the tape.
A bright spot for the home side, is the “New Thrill” Kiril Marchenko who get’s one back at 7:36 off a nice set up from Reilly and ….checks score sheet….Marc-Edward Vlasic? Viking down 5-2
Unfortunately at 7:12, Matias Ekholm, once again finds an open net and pots his 2nd of the game off a feed from Petry and McDavid, Patriots back up 6-2.
The after the whistle shenanigans continue as Gallagher and Bjugstad go for 2 minutes for roughing at 9:12, followed by Hathaway and Barrie at 13:36 and then Burns and Gallagher at 16:48 to close out the second period.
Things aren’t much different in the 3rd period, as the animosities continue at 2:48 when Laughton and Crouse are also sent to the box. 4:24 sees Ekholm and Reilly get matching minors and at 5:12 Robertson and Dickinson go for 2 minutes each as well.
This prompts the officials to issue warnings to both benches to start playing some hockey, or suspensions would follow.
This seems to quell the extra ciriculars for a bit and at 6:48 McDavid finds himself with a glorious chance to put the final nail in the coffin off a broken stick of Vlasic, but he can’t find the handle on a 4-5 range.
Pouring a little salt on the open wounds, Tkachuk finishes off the hat trick at 8:24 when Robertson sends him in on Ullmark, Patriots up 7-2.
10:24 sees Jeanot and Oleksiak get 2 minutes each as tempers start to ramp up again.
This finally seems to breathe some life into the Viking squad and Paull “Mr.” Cotter pots a goal at 10:48 from Barrie and Graves to make it 7-3.
Play is choppy for the next 6 minutes or so, but Alex Tuch finds a loose puck in a scramble and puts another past Hellebuyck at 17:36 to make it 7-4. Again, Barrie and Graves drawing assists.
But at 19:36, with the Flying Sutters pressing, Cotter get’s caught with his head down in neutral ice and is run over by Oleksiak, putting the young playe rout for the remainder and finishing the score sheet.
Shamrockville was 52 shots, 18 quality for 7 goals. 25 PM’s
Viking was 32 shots, 4 quality, 4 goals. 23 Pm’s.
3 more Broken stick results and one Penalty Shot as notes.
Flying Sutters coach Adam House’ dice ran colder than a Sutters stare in mid February at a press conference in that second game. Luckily they didn’t get more hard shots because Hellebuyck was brutally bad this game.
Shamrockville now 9 Wins, 2 Losses, 1 Tie.
