Montreal Militia 1 v Detroit Falcons 2
Shots: Militia 19 v Detroit 22
Three Stars
1st Period
In the first period, the teams were at a defensive stalemate. Only 8 shots were put on either net by both teams, an absurdly low count for these two offenses. Despite the low shot count overall, Montreal came out flying and managed to score their first (and, in the end, only) goal 43 seconds into the game.
After losing the draw in their own zone, some nice work by Veikko Toivanen takes the puck and two quick passes later Rafe Ulrich is off to the races into the Detroit zone. A nice play by Ulrich and its 1-0 Militia.
2nd Period
The 2nd period is a much more open affair. Shots go back and forth, with Montreal managing to get 12 on net and the Falcons put up 9. However, the goalies stand tall and managed to withstand the barrage of by either team (or each team's sloppy defensive play, depending on how you look at it).
There's some penalty trouble through, including a nasty boarding hit by Hippo Passamus that both enrages Militia fans for the hit while Detroit fans can't believe its a penalty. Some controversy in the air and the tilt has gotten pretty nasty. Earlier in the period Daniel Daniil for Montreal serves a slashing call after a nasty looking whack on the Detroit defender.
3rd Period
In the third, Detroit proves too much for the Militia and breaks through. They pepper Monreal with 9 shots while only facing 3 from the home team. It all starts with an early 3rd period goal to tie the game.
During a powerplay Detroit has Fantobens set up in front of the net. Using a nice screen play, Tobias Viklund shoots the puck right at David Fantobens for Detroit. With a nifty deflection, Fantobens manages to redirect it past the Militia netminder Petr Vrana, who is blind to the shot with the traffic in front of the net. All in all a nice play by Detroit to tie up the game 1-1 and start the 3rd period barrage.
7 minutes later, the Falcons are still forcing the play in the Montreal zone. Xavier Paquette hammers a shot from the point, trying his best Crutchfield impersonation, and Hippo Passamus, while moving laterally across the Montreal zone, tips the puck past the Militia goaltender. Two deflections later and Detroit is ahead, 2-1. Falcons are also quick to congratulate rookie Riley Rush on his first career point on the secondary assist @Rush.
