Game 114

0 VS 1

The Kelowna Knights managed a 1-0 shootout victory against the Prince George Firebirds in what some are calling The Most Boring Game in SMJHL History. Game 114 saw a combined total of 42 shots and zero points in three periods of regulation plus one period of overtime.

Take a look at the highlight reel from the game, sponsored by Red Bull. In fact, if you have any Red Bull on hand, now might be a good time to chug a couple unless you’re ready for a nap.

The Red Bull Moment of the Game happened at 9:14 of the first period, when Knights defenseman Mia Landvik took a hit from Donald Trump, lost the puck, and promptly lost her shit. The scuffle that followed resulted in a fresh blood stain on the jersey for Trump and a double minor for roughing for Landvik.



The only highlight from the second period was...well, this dude having a snooze.



The third period took it a step farther, when one of the officials decided to have a nap in the middle of play. On the ice. No one disturbed him and play continued around him. Sort of.



Overtime was a real doozie. Three whole shots on goal, plus this:



Finally, in the shootout, Dieter Dominique and Cara Hohenberg were able to net two to win the game. Firebirds Casper Jakobsson had the lone shootout goal for Prince George.

To be honest, that wasn’t even very exciting. Have a shot of the firebirds disgruntled faces after the loss. That’s more fun.

After the game we interviewed Knights’ captain Mikko Linna. Here’s what he had to say:

Congratulations on the win. What was the mood like on the bench when you realized you were heading into overtime, still scoreless.

Probably about the same as it was in the stands. Frustrated.

I don’t know if “frustrated” is the word we’d use. Is it true that there were players taking naps on the bench?

Ziggs wasn’t napping, his face always looks like that.

Where did Landvik get the sunglasses she wore in the penalty box following her double minor?

Oh, she keeps a pair in there. Along with a bag of skittles, headphones, and an mp3 player with only prison themed songs on it. You know, like I Fought the Law, Folsom Prison Blues, stuff like that.
