http://simulationhockey.com/games/smjhl/...HL-92.html

---

First Period

It didn't take long for the Outlaws to get on the board, scoring 2 minutes into the game after a failed extra effort by Miller and being in the right place at the right time. Losing the draw in the defensive zone, the puck slides toward the side boards, Miller quickly reacts and skates to Gonzalez who also dashed for the loose rubber and delivers an explosive hit on the boards, freeing the puck up for rookie Archer in the slot who was left uncovered, Archer lets it go and takes a wrist shot, sniping a gift wrapped marker top corner against a surprised Braulin on their first shot of the game

Outlaws

Anaheim takes the lead, 1-0!

Miller was active in the first and this time he wins a draw that would lead to an instant goal, after receiving the puck Bobcalf breaks past the opposite winger and fires a bullet towards the net through the defenders legs and the crowd goes wild, after being down almost the whole period he ties the game

Shl

Game tied, 1-1.

Second Period

The Whalers strike again and this time they get the early power play goal three minutes into the second period, scoring two goals in a five minute span. It started when Wilson won a clean draw in the offensive zone and threw it back to Volkov who would blast it from the point but misses the net, the Whalers would get possession again and the puck was picked up by Forty-One and he lets off another shot but the puck was blocked this time, the Whalers would continue their flurry and get control of the puck once again, this time Claude gets his chance and shoots it towards a down and out Soonika into an empty net and scores on the man advantage to give his team the lead going into the third

Whalers

Vancouver takes the lead, 2-1!

Third Period

Anaheim responds halfway through the period, scoring another easy goal after Miller gives it his all once again, it started with Telanne and Miller at the dot, Miller wins a rough face-off and gets checked but fends it off, he takes it around the net and rips one off the post, catching his own rebound Miller skates it out to the point and tries another shot, it hits the back boards and slides past defender Mann who tries to take control of the puck but gets hit by a high flying Miller before he could reach it, no call for interference, the puck kept speeding around the boards and Anaheim was on a 2 man breakaway, Kennedy fakes a pass and takes the shot but hits the crossbar, left alone in front of a sprawling Braulin, McCloud takes the puck and jams it in passed the goaltender before the defender catch up

Shl

Game tied, 2-2.

Archer started the scoring and he ended it getting a tally with a little under a half a period to go, Vancouver was firing on all cylinders trying to get the lead, they had the Outlaws in their own zone, momentum had shifted and pressure was building but Archer was not folding, after chasing and poking Archer stopped and waited back to watch the play develop and because his patience and a little bit of luck Archer found himself with the puck and finally gets it out of the zone but instead of dumping it and getting a breather he continued to skate down the ice and shot a weak shot towards the net to try and get a face-off in the offensive zone but out of nowhere Braulin fumbles it and the Outlaws take the lead and eventually go on to win the game

Outlaws

Anaheim takes the lead, 3-2!

Comment One
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.

Comment Two
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.

Comment Three
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.

COMMENT ONE - GOALIES STAND ON THEIR HEAD
It's always nice to see a goalie battle, especially such an equal battle at that. In the battle between Anaheim and Vancouver the goalies definently played "star" that evening, as both of them faced equal shots (29 a piece) and both of them came close to one another in saves, unfortunately one team and one goalie alike had to lose this battle and in this case, we're seeing it as Vancouver's goalie Braulin who got the short end of the stick. But both men should be super proud of their accomplishments because they really did a good thing, they really made due with what they had and no matter what, they persevered and played one hell of a game, this made it super interesting.

COMMENT TWO - ANAHEIM HAS GREAT THIRD PERIOD
The game was certainly a back and forth clinic at least in the first, tied up 1-1 the game looked like anyone's game and that's exactly how both teams played, with their fullest potential. It wasn't until the second that things unraveled and the Whalers took a commanding 2-1 lead going into the third. While most would be satisfied with a one goal lead going into the final period, it was obvious that Anaheim made them pay for being too comfortable, as they scored two goals on them just a few minutes apart from one another. Because of this, Anaheim won the game and they really proved to be top contenders this season, another display of not being "too comfortable" with any type of a lead here. (127 words)

COMMENT THREE - ARCHER PROVES PROBLEMATIC FOR WHALERS
In a display of great offensive threat, Archer came out the winner for the team and dominant player for Anaheim. Now what is impressive for me here isn't so much the two goals on its own, but the fact that Archer did so, while only attempting two shots! Yes, you read that correctly, he was 100% for shots on goal to goals ratio, this is impresive to me, despite it only being two shots. This kind of a deadly accurate player deserves in my opinion to be recognized for the great effort that eventually helped lead Anaheim to a win. I am super excited to see where this kid goes moving forward in his future. (115 words)
