Revelstoke 7 @ Cole Harbour 6
So, this goaltending stuff... you mean you actually have to stand IN FRONT of the shot? Forget that noise! (Heard from both Matt Murray and James Reimer)
As mentioned, there really wasn't much in the way of goaltending, other than a couple shots that were accidentally batted away by Murray.
The scoring started 5 minutes in with Tage Thompson on the powerplay, but then it was 3 for the Mammoths, by Frost, Grzelcyk, and Grunstrom also on the powerplay, before Girgensons scored again for Cole Harbour. Unfortunately the 'checking' line of Revelstoke came to life, with Lafferty scoring one near the end of the first period, and another at the beginning of the second to make things seem like Revelstoke was pulling away.
Murray then stepped in (or not) and let in the next two, by Dellandrea and Thompson, to make things a one goal game again early into the 3rd period. Olofsson and Tanev decided to reply back, and while there was a heroic push back by the Butchers with a hat trick goal for Tage Thompson, and another by Barabanov with less than a couple minutes to go, Cole Harbour was not able to surmount a 7 goal game from the Mammoths, due to not one but two saves by Murray over the course of the game, vs a whopping 0 save game from James Reimer.
Cole Harbour 7 @ Revelstoke 6 (OT)
It's Brandon Saad day! Brandon Saad took it upon himself to try to keep the Butchers in the game, as a plethora of scoring happened from all kinds of players on the Mammoths side. Lehkonen started the scoring, followed by Saad, then Noah Cates, then Saad again, twice, to lead the Butchers 3-2 into the 2nd frame.
Unfortunately, the wheels feel off of Reimer and Cole Harbour in the second period, and the Mammoths had a field day, scoring 4 on 6 quality chances against Optimus Reime, including tallies by Tanev, Olofsson twice (once on the powerplay), and Lehkonen with his second.
Luckily for the Butchers, the Mammoths ran out of ammo for quality chances the rest of the game, and it was all Butchers from the beginning of the 3rd period, where Saad scores his fourth of the day, followed by 2 more goals by Donato and Thompson, to tie the game at 6. One chance was close but was blocked by a sprawling David Savard, and another chance was booted away at the last second of the period by Murray, to take things into overtime.
While the Mammoths had the brunt of the control in OT, they never were able to hit the net, while the Butchers were opportunistic in their shots, both being in range, and the last one by Dellandrea beating Murray glove side 4 minutes into OT.
Neither side came away happy with points, especially Revelstoke, who earn 3 points out of a possible 4.
Revelstoke's record is now 4-6-1-3.
