First Star
Anthony Archer, after a stellar performance, was named the first star of Game 92. Archer was able to start off Anaheim's offense early in the first period and capped off the night with the final goal in the third. However, this was almost an uncharacteristic performance from the young Left Winger. In the four games leading up to the game. Archer demonstrated his willingness to shoot the puck, albeit with little accuracy. With twelve shots, Archer was only able to muster two goals on the leadup to that game. Currently boasting an 18% shooting percentage, Archer must have shaken off whatever keeps his shooting off and to the right. Tough break for Vancouver, but when you're hot you're hot.

Biggest Goon
Andy Kerr played the most physical game out there on the ice. The 6’2” 224lbs of pure speed comes barreling down the ice, you need to watch out. With four hits on the game, Kerr tried his best to use his size to create openings. This isn’t uncommon for Kerr, as he is, currently, second among the Whalers for hits with 52 on the season. Salloman (Anaheim) appeared to be his favorite target, being half of Kerr’s checks. Gonzalez and McCloud also took their own turns being on the other side of the wrecking ball. While the Whalers were unable to secure the victory, Kerr did his best to be the force that the other team won’t forget.

Unsung Heroes
It’s important to look back on a lose and reflect. For most people, they dwell on the negative. Today, I wish to look at the things that were done well. The real unsung heroes of this game were Vancouver’s special teams. With three penalties occurring during the game (two for hooking and one for roughing), the Whaler’s special teams were able to stave off the onslaught of Outlaws. The combined efforts of Kerr, Rieder, Zacha, and Forty-One, are one of the many reasons this game stayed as close as it was. Rieder, himself blocked shots, recovered loose pucks, dumped said pucks when needed, and set up an offense during his time on the penalty kill. Kerr played a physical game but took a few hits during his time. The Whaler’s have a good set of players, and it seems they are being utilized well on special teams. It is thanks to their contribution that the game was able to be so close.
