Game 1
Cremona 7 at Bonavista 5
Apparently the Bruisers forgot that the game had started and did not show up for the first period. This allowed Ovechkin to stake the Titans to a 1 goal lead just after 5 minutes of game play. The Titans continued to control the play completely scoring two more goals at the 13:36 and 15:12 mark. The Titans really should have routed the Bruisers at this point but DeSmith stood tall and managed to stop 3 other high danger chances. The Bruisers finally mounted a worth while shift late in the period and scored when Zucker decided he had enough and scored with 1 second left, managing to salvage a brutal period where they were outshot 22-4.
The second period is much the same with Cremona controlling the play and scoring 2 goals while outshooting Bonavista 17-8 (hey look we doubled our shots), earning the home team some scattered boos as they left the ice. This did seem to spark the team though as they came out in the 3rd in a bad mood and actually decided to start playing the game. a quick goal from Strome got them started making it 5-2 at 1:12. Mark stone keeps the goals coming at 5:36 to pull the home team within 2 and Bonavista is starting to finally get some control of the game. at 10:24 Kent Johnson closes the lead to 1 and then while the Titans are trying to figure out how they let this lead go, Ryan Johansen takes the face off, stiff arms the opposing center and splits the D to go in and tie the game at 5. Demco decides he should actually maybe try to stop a puck in the 3rd and stones Zucker on a glorious chance a minute later to finally give his team some confidence back which leads to Jack Hughes retaking the lead at the 14:00 minute. Bonavista tries to equalize late with the goalie pulled but Rantenan puts it into the open net at 19:12. Hamilton tries to get a goal back by taking a slap shot from 2 feet away which riles up Demco into taking a penalty against him but Hamilton makes the bonehead move of retaliating instead of taking the PP officially ending the chance for a comeback
Cremona - 55 shots - 12 hard
Bonavista - 27 shots - 7 hard
Interesting notes:
Bonavista took 3 penalites - no drags. Cremona took 5 penalties and all 5 dragged an opposing player
had a rare broken stick -> block play. Nash had a player break a stick leading to what would have been a hard shot by myself but was blocked on my 2-3 roll
I didn't track them but the faceoffs were entirely one sided. Even though Nash has 0 A's and i had 2 i would guess he won over 90% of the faceoffs.
Game 2
Bonavista 4 at Cremona 2
Game 2 was a lot more even in the first period both teams controlled for portions although Cremona had the better chances during the period (4-1) However DeSmith stood tall stopping all the chances while Demco lets in one from Strome late in the period on the powerplay. Cremona had take 2 other penalties earlier in the game but again the Bruisers couldn't stop retaliating until finally Dahlin went off by himself leading to the power play goal.
The second period starts with a frenzy. Hard shot by Cremona, hard shot by Bonavista blocked, Cremona shot, Cremona Hardshot. this all led to Cremona working their way back in and Tkachuk scoring at 2:24 to tie the game. However that didn't last long as Reilly Smith puts Bonavista back in the lead just over a minute later at 3:36. Cremona then started a parade to the penalty box with minors at 4:00, 9:12 and 12:00 minutes but Bonavista was unable to capitalize on the chances and bury the Titans with their mistakes. at 15:12 Rantenan ties the game back up sending the teams to the locker room tied at 2. each goalie stopped half of the danger changes 2/4 for DeSmith and 1/2 for Demco (before he was injured)
the 3rd period sees the Bruisers outplay the Titans for the first time in the series but this was helped due to more penalties from the Titans team. Eichel takes one early but they managed to escape without any consequences but the tide turned with Bonavista take a more control of a somewhat lackluster first half of the period. Hughes then takes a penalty to put the Brusiers on the power play again leading to another Strome PP goal at the 13:36 mark. The leads the entire arena to start a "you suck ref" chant. Zucker continues a strong period by firing his 5th shot on net to sneak one past Samsonov to extend the lead to 2 at 15:12. Down to the final minutes the Cremona coach takes a gamble and pulls the goalie with 2.5 minutes to go in the game, however Ovechkin gets a little overzealous and takes an elbowing penalty leading to a lengthy stoppage in play as the fans litter the ice with garbage as they try to pelt the refs with anything that is not nailed down. Once the ruckus has calmed down and the ice cleared the Bruisers rag out the rest of the period skating to their first win of the season.
Cremona - 38 shots - 8 hard
Bonavista - 37 shots - 5 hard
interesting notes:
Nash took 7 penalties but i was woeful and only converted 2 of them. ironically play with my PP ACE every single turnover i made the red die was a 4
Nash was able to put in his better goalie after an injury but Samsonov let in 2 of 2.
Nash had 0 hard shots in the 3rd and only 10 total which i am guessing is a season low for him.
Bonavista record is now 1-3
