Game #1 at Los Angeles Panthers: 3-1 Loss

Our season opener takes us to Hollywood to confront the powerhouse Panthers, and it's a chippy game from the jump. Reed Kobo puts one in our net 3 minutes into the frame but scoring skims as we move from the 1st onto the 2nd.

It's very clearly a goaltending fight right into the 3rd, where Emil Egli gets charged with a boarding call, and for a good while it seems the 5-minute major might sink the team, but Jeff Newman stands tall for the duration and with almost a minute left, Hai Nam Hoang runs away with a clear attempt and jams it by Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Unfortunately, we run out of gas late and the Panthers break through for a goal after the penalty, and an empty netter to clinch it.

Newman gives us a chance to win, with 40 saves in a stellar .952 performance, good for the 6th time in the past two seasons he's topped a 19/20 average. Our PK also looks good to start, there's momentum to build on.

-----

Game #2 vs. Baltimore Platoon: 5-4 Shootout Loss

At home for the season-opener for the Castle, Ally Mathieson draws in for her first start of two straight, to keep the hot Newman rested for a back-to-back against Texas, we start hot.

The first frame sees nothing but chances, as we double up Baltimore on shots, but Devoir is going to make it difficult. 3 minutes into the second, Gordon-William Gibbles, with his (brother, uncle, father? What's our head canon here) in the building, finds his own rebound and jams the puck between the pads of Devoir, scoring his first career SHL goal, with assists from his linemates Kim and Florsch. 7 minutes later, Adam Liebold wraps the puck around the net to tie the game, but with 5 minutes into the frame, Binko Koivu takes a shot off the faceoff that is stopped, but Meta Knight streaks in from the hashmarks to drive home the rebound, and the Monarchs lead 2-1. Less than a minute left, the 2nd line executes a perfect blue line break-in, springing Julian Florsch's wicked one-timer, padding the lead to 2. More importantly, the secondary assist is Gibbles' 2nd point of the frame.

The lead fails to hold, however, as the Platoon's forecheck scores 3 quick goals in the 3rd to give Baltimore the lead. It looks like dire straights with the 3rd line out and 3:37 to play, when Oles Kobliska, the new addition, ties the game at 4, and we go to overtime, giving Poiklm their 1st SHL point.

Overtime settles nothing, but two big odd-man saves from Mathieson keep the game in reach, but the shootout is no guaruntee, and we fall, 5-4, settling with a loser point at home.

Mathieson kept us in this game as well as she could, stopping 43 of 47, but we fail to keep a hold of the lead. As a young team, it's clear we might be running out gas. But we leave with a point, at least.

-----

Game #3 vs. San Francisco Pride: 5-0 Loss

Oh boy! I can't wait to play the Cup Champs at home! I wonder how we-



Um... brush it off and get ready for the next game i guess.

-----

Game #4 at Texas Renegades: 5-4 OT Win

The first of two meetings against our April playoff opponent does not start well, as Newman makes his 2nd appearance in a row following the disastrous Pride game. The workload shows early, as Pawter Meowski and Patrice Bergeron jump on us almost immediately, putting us in a 3-0 hole just 3 minutes into the frame.

But after that, the defense locks down, Newman locks in, and the 1st line goes to work. 2 minutes into the 2nd, Hai Nam Hoang finishes off a look in which every 1st liner gets a point. At the 12 minute mark it's Hoang with Knight springing Adelie de Pengu for his first of the season. 3 minutes later, the same combination finds Gato, and the lead the Renegades built in 3 minutes is gone.

It takes until the 3rd to complete the comeback, as Gordie Gibbles scores his 2nd of the season on the power play. the quick-strike Renegades strike back quickly to tie the game, but Newman holds on to send the game to overtime. It takes two minutes before Knight, hot with his passes all night, finds Kove with his one-timer, and the Monarchs have their first win of the season.

There's no question why the entire team mobs Jeff Newman first. though the percentages don't look good on the outside, he stops 35/39 in a game where we needed all 35 saves. Hoang and Knight have 4 points each, and the often not-involved defense gets in on the scoresheet. Finally, a game where everything goes wrong and we get the right result out of it.

-----

Game #5 vs. Texas Renegades: 7-5 Win

Back at home to wrap up the back-to-back, the Renegades want their chunk of flesh back from the loss yesterday, but we want them to pay for every inch of ice.

It's a brutal 1st period, penalties and goals exchanged with reckless abandon. Julian Florsch and Gordon-William Gibbles get on the board for us in the frame, but we end the period down 3-2.

But we've recovered from worse. Hell, it's fresh in our minds. Hai Nam Hoang gets us started with a goal a minute into the period, and when the 1st line relinquishes the ice for the 2nd line, Kevin Kim pots one in to give us a 4-3 lead. Mads McBride ties the game in the 10th minute, but late into the frame, Gato scores in his 2nd straight game.

34 seconds into the 3rd, David-Arturri Donskoi scores again to tie the game, just like he did yesterday. Just 2 minutes later, Gibbles, the rookie, scores his 2nd of the game and 3rd point of the night, the eventual game winner. Meta Knight scores 11 minutes into the period to give us some breathing room, and the Monarchs pull out another comeback win, their 2nd straight.

Newman gives us everything left in the tank for a 38-save performance. Again, he's the reason we pull out the victory. 6 Monarchs have more than one point, with Gato, Florsch, and Gibbles collecting 3 points, and Kevin Kim taking over the game with 4 points.

-----

Game #6 vs Baltimore Platoon: 5-4 Loss

The Monarchs head out to Baltimore to face the garrison there again, and it's a battle as one would expect.

Things are slow in the 1st, with M'Baku Olubori scores on a shorthanded chance to take the lead, but both goalies are as of yet dueling.

The pace swerves violently in the 2nd, when Emil Egli scored his first of the season to tie the game, but the Platoon scores twice to take a 3-1 lead. In the second half of the frame, Gordon-William Gibbles and Binko Koivu score to even the game up.

The goalies duel again in the 3rd until the end, when Ray Alexander scores to give Baltimore the lead. Meta Knight, unassisted, ties the game yet again, but with 3:04 in the game, Ekaterina Valieva scores to give Baltimore their final, and standing, lead.

Ally Mathieson gives us our 30+ saves, but the team can't hold the lead down enough to give her the first win of the season. It's still a strong game, Kevin Kim is a 2nd star with two assists, and Gibbles has a goal and an assist. Despite the lost keeping the team at .500, the team still looks good around the margins.

Game #7 vs. Edmonton Blizzard: 7-1 Win

Our long local nightmare is over. The Edmonton Blizzard are bad.

In a battle in Edmonton against our hated playoff overlords, we take a deep breath, get the monkeys off our back, and beat the brakes off of them.

Hai Nam Hoang sets the tone 38 seconds into the game, and the torture does not stop, as the Monarchs put 19 shots on very not ready for this Kay Lee. After scoring a minute into the period, we decide to play a hilarious prank on them by scoring with one second left in the game, as Kevin Kim puts in a buzzer-beater.

In the 2nd, we keep the pressure on, and Julian Florsch scores to get the lead to 3, but Lee does an incredible job weathering the 25 shots we put on the net. Uh oh, did we wake up their goalie?

Yes. We woke them up to keep the torture going. Julian Florsch scores again, as does Knight, Wisconsin, and Kim (again). Julian Eaglesong breaks up the shutout, but it's cold comfort for the dejected home crowd.

Jeff Newman is lights out, yet again. his 30 saves, a .968 save percentage, help us slam the door on our conference foe, giving us some handy momentum heading into a stretch of opportunities.

-----

Game #8 vs. Manhattan Rage: 7-4 Win

This time, we take the scoring home to share with the fans.

In St. Paul, we start fast again, and the players that were hot against Edmonton stay hot tonight. Julian Florsch scores 11 minutes in, and Hai Nam Hoang strikes, giving our woeful power play an award they've been missing.

In the second, we lose our grip early, as Manhattan scores twice in 12 seconds and again 2 minutes later to take the lead, 3-2. That lead lasts 3 seconds, because Jules strikes (on the power play again!) and Poiklm score 38 seconds apart. Then, a minute and a second after taking the lead back, Binko Koivu scores his 2nd of the season. It remains close, as Austin Morely shrinks the lead to 1, and we head into the 3rd.

6 minutes into the 3rd, Poiklm scores again, the 3rd assist of the night for Gibbles. With the net pulled in defeat for New York, Gibbles gets his deserved goal, putting a cap on a career night just 8 games into said career.

Newman has his first rough night of the season, but our offense finally comes in to assist. Gibbles' 4 point night, alongside a 3-assist night from Knight and 2-goal explosions from Florsch and Poiklm make this a big win for the team, and a big win for our home fans.

-----

Game 9 vs. Philadelphia Forge: 7-3 Loss

The second of our back-to-back home-stand games sees us face the cream of the Eastern Conference, and the Forge make it a battle from the jump.

Kevin Kim and Jules Florsch help us trade goal for goal with the Forge to start the 1st frame, and we exit with a tied game, 2-2.

But the 2nd gets away from us very quickly, and two Cale Salad PP goals on defensive penalties build a lead we try to cut down with a Hai Nam Hoang goal late, but the Forge respond 50 seconds later, making the score 5-3.

In the 3rd, lost steam means when Graj Virrrok scores a shorthanded goal and a power-play goal in the same period, it spells defeat.

Poor Ally Mathieson can't find a win yet, and does her best, but we're struggling to support her with defensive structure or offense. Though two points from Julian Florsch keep us in it early, this young squad is out of gas.

-----

Game 10 vs. New Orleans Specters: 2-1 Win

Welcome back, arch-rival. New Orleans comes into Minnesota looking to cement their claim as the best of the division, but we make a very convincing speed bump.

We come out swinging hard, with Hai Nam Hoang striking within the 1st minute. When Gibbles goes down on a tripping call, our killer penalty kill shows off with a streaking Oles Kobliska scoring a shorthanded goal to get the lead to two.

The game slows down in the 2nd, but the 3rd provides a tough test. An adjustment hems us in our own zone for most of the frame, and the Specters put 18 shots on net to our one in the period. Only one shot, a Peter Tingle slapper, gets by Newman, and we stay alert and strong in our own end to pull out a dramatic, in-division victory.

Jeff Newman stops a blistering 37/38, good for a .974 save percentage, and our defense does its job by blocking 23 shots in total. Meta Knight plays playmaker for the night, providing the primary assists for both goals, and we head out of the week with two critical wins.

-----

Game 11 vs. Montreal Patriotes: 9-2 Win

The lowly Patriotes lurch into town without a win, and they leave just about the same way.

Penalty troubles early bring out our deadly penalty kill, and Abdi Smokes finds the back of the net for the first time. Binko Koivu and Meta Knight pile on before Montreal gets on the board to respond. It's answered later in the frame by another short-handed goal, this time by Kobliska, who has 2/3 goals he's collected off short-handed chances.

The box score says the same for the 2nd period, as Kove, Knight (again), Poiklm, and Kim getting aboard to goal train, broken up by a Charlie Slurpe goal to make the score a respectable 8-2 exiting the 2nd.

Finally, in the 3rd, the 2nd line mops up with a Gordie Gibbles goal to make the score 9-2.

16/17 Monarchs skaters collect a point. A majority collect more than one. Meta Knight ties the team points-in-a-single-game record with 5 points (2G, 3A), and his linemate Hai Nam Hoang isn't far behind him with 3 assists of his own. Despite giving up two, Newman gets in on the stat-padding with a .931 save percentage. It's a game everyone can leave happy, except for the Patriotes, of course.

-----

Game 12 vs. Chicago Syndicate: 5-3 Win

An old opponent approaches our lair, looking to nip our 2-game win-streak, but they don't succeed.

We keep our quick start theme going, as Hai Nam Hoang scores 1:29 into the game. Setting the pace is key, but we still have to come away with the win over 60 minutes.

In the 2nd, our grip slips, and that's all Chicago needs to get two on the board to take the lead, but leads aren't safe with us. 53 seconds into the 3rd, Julian Florsch gets the party started with a goal, followed closely by Gato, and then Hoang nets another one on the power play. Though Ryuuji Minamoto gets one back for the Syndicate, Meta Knight stomps out the comeback bid with a goal two minutes later, putting the game away.

As the horn sounds, the team mobs Ally Mathieson, who finally gets the monkey off her back with a win, stopping 29/32. Hai Nam Hoang has a big two-goal game, and Meta Knight gets 3 points, but it's rookie Gordon-William Gibbles who provides the key plays, collecting 3 assists. It's another huge divisional win, and finally, it seems we've found our footing.

-----

Game 13 vs. Winnipeg Aurora: 3-5 Loss

We say goodbye to Minnesota and get out to the great White North to Winnipeg to face another divisional rival.

We start fast again on this haunted Halloween night, with Meta Knight scoring twice in 2 minutes, with Hai Nam Hoang scoring his 10th in the middle. It took just 2:03 into the game, but we have a 3-0 lead.

But after that, we just lose our momentum. Winnipeg answers our blitz with one of their own, taking just 3:46 of the 2nd to tie the game. Then, they adjust, play their game, and score two more in the 3rd to bury us.

Jeff Newman takes his first bad pounding of the season, and though Knight gets 3 points on the night, there's a lot to workshop, it seems.

But management also makes note of two performances on the other side of the ice. Spack Jarrow explodes for 3 points, two goals and an assist, and plays a key part in the Winnipeg's comeback. On defense, despite a ragged showing, Jay O'Neal is stellar defensively in a game where he really needed to be. With two players of our own failing to launch early, the wheels begin to turn.

-----

Game 14 vs. Buffalo Stampede: 6-7 OT Loss

Back home in Minny, we host our mirror image in the East, the Buffalo Stampede, and it's a dogfight from puck drop.

Meta Knight starts us off with two goals in the 1st, but Buffalo matches that to tie the game at 1 in the 1st.

In the 2nd, Buffalo gets their lumps in, with 3 goals midway through the frame to get their lead to 5-2. It looks pretty grim.

It looks more grim when 5 minutes into the 3rd, Jarrod Lakemore makes it 6-2. Some fans head for the exit in the 6 minutes that follow.

But then, Julian Florsch freezes them at the exits. Mu Wisconsin gets them back to the concourse TVs. Binko Koivu gets them back in their seats, and with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Gordon-William Gibbles @SpartanGibbles scores to bring them out of those seats. It took 6 minutes to erase 30 minutes of a 4-goal lead, and we've dragged a team that should have ran away with a win to overtime.

Shootin Blanks tags us in OT, but the fans stay on their feet to honor a team that didn't know the meaning of quit. Nevek Kove and Meta Knight combine for 6 points, and we leave with some bruises, none of which are on our spirit.

-----

Game 15 vs. New Orleans Specters: 7-2 Loss

"Gee, I wonder what Eddie's gonna put in the game recap for that awful live-sim."



-----

Game #16 vs Calgary Dragons: 7-0 Win

Off the mat from the game against New Orleans, we find the Dragons ready to give us all they can handle.

But Poiklm scores 5 minutes in. Knight scores on the power play, and Kevin Kim gets one late in the frame to give us a 3-0 lead.

And now it's clear who this game is gonna be about. Kevin Kim scores again 35 seconds into the 2nd. Koivu scores 8 minutes into the period. With 3 minutes left, Kevin Kim gets his 3rd, his first hat trick.

the 3rd gives Hoang time to score to get the lead to 7, but this game was over in the 2nd. The Dragons never lead in shots, and we could relax our pace to get ready for the next game. Kevin Kim has a hat trick and an assist, Gordon Gibbles gets 3 assists, as does Julian Florsch, and shutdown defender Adelie de Pengu gets two assists. After the rocky start, it's Ally Mathieson who logs the first Monarchs shutout of the season. A feel good win at the 1st quarter-mark of the season.
