    NWHL Game Preview – 12/2/2018 – Metropolitan Riveters v. Connecticut Whale

     

    Are You Ready For Part 3?!

     

    Let’s get ready to rumble one more time, as the Connecticut Whale will once again square off against the Metropolitan Riveters today at 3:30p. While the Whale are going to be the designated home team for this matchup, but the two teams will be playing in the neutral location of Pittsburgh, PA. This will be the second year in a row that the Connecticut Whale will be playing in Pittsburgh. Last year, they played a regular season game against the Buffalo Beauts, in which they fell 4-3.

    This year promises to be another great game between the Riveters and the Whale. The first two games between the two teams have been nothing short of spectacular. The first game they squared off, it was the Whale coming out on top of that game with a late third period goal from Shannon Doyle, which beat Riveters goalie Katie Fitzgerald from the point.

    As awesome as the first game was, the second game was even better. Both teams trading goals and close chances; Riveters forward Audra Richards even recorded a hat trick in that game. In the end, it came down to a shootout where Amanda Kessel got the shootout goal and Riveters backup goalkeeper Kimberly Sass stopped all three Whale shootout attempts.

    Today’s game, as I said, will be the third game between these two awesome teams, before the Whale will have their next game six days later on December 8th against the Buffalo Beauts in Buffalo; and the Riveters will play their next game against the Boston Pride back in Newark, NJ on December 9th. I am looking forward to the excitement that these two teams always seem to provide in these games. There is always great back and forth action between them, and if the first two games were any indication, we should be in for some great hockey tomorrow.

     

    Players to Watch

    Katerina Mrázová: Probably the best Whale player so far this season. She leads the team in goals and points, as well as shots on goal. She is also coming off a two goal performance in the last game these two teams played. Also, she has a total of three goals against the Riveters this season.

    Audra Richards: Hard to argue with the best Riveters player as well. Like Mrázová, she is on a hot streak too. She leads the team in goals, with six. Also in the last two games, she has tallied four goals. Interestingly enough, all six of her goals have been at home.

  • NWHL Game Recap – 11/25/2018 – Connecticut Whale v. Metropolitan Riveters

    NWHL Game Recap – 11/25/2018 – Connecticut Whale v. Metropolitan Riveters

    The Connecticut Whale played a very strong game today against the Metropolitan Riveters; unfortunately, it was enough to earn them a point but not enough to seal them the victory. The good news is that there were a lot of positives to take from the game. The Whale did a much better job putting pucks on goal, having a shot total at the end of the game at 36. Their penalty kill was once again, really solid as the Riveters were 0 for 4 on the power play including one in overtime. The Whale are leading the league in Penalty Kill Percentage at 94.7 ahead of the Whitecaps and Beauts who also boast an over 90 percent PK rating. Last but not least, the already good puck movement was even better today. They look like they are building some great chemistry and look like they are turning the corner.
    Here is a quick summary of the game. In the first period, the Riveters opened the scoring, a goal coming from Audra Richards. This would be her second game in a row where she would open up the scoring. Also all the goals she has scored this year have all been at home. Two minutes later, the Whale would get one back, a goal on the power play coming from girl-on-fire Katerina Mrázová and assisted by captain, leader, legend Emily Fluke. Unfortunately, with less than a minute to go in the first period, the Riveters would go ahead before the end of the period. Another goal coming from Audra Richards, and on this particular goal, it was the second assist of the game for Miye D’Oench, as this was the first game for her coming back from a campaign in Kentucky.
    In the second period, it was all Whale dictating the play and getting both of the goals that came from the period. It was a little over half of the period played when the first goal came from Kayla Meneghin. It was her first NWHL goal and it came in her home state of New Jersey. The second goal of the period came while the Whale were shorthanded. It was Katerina Mrázová again who netted the goal on a beautiful feed from Michelle Löwenhielm.
    The third period was good back and forth action, and it looked like the Whale were going to escape but with about nine minutes left to play, a crazy bounce off the boards and Audra Richards again got the goal, banking it in off of Meeri Räisänen. This was Richards’ third goal of the game giving her the hat trick.
    Overtime had some exciting action in it too. Each team had some time on the power play but unfortunately no one could win the game in overtime, although the Riveters probably had the best chance to win the game in OT. In the shootout, the only goal came from Amanda Kessel, who got it through off of Räisänen’s glove.

    3 Stars of the Game

    Katerina Mrázová: She had another excellent game today. Getting two goals for the Whale today and pushing her goal total for the year up to four goals. She also leads the team with five points and leads the team in shots on goal as well with 19.

    Michelle Löwenhielm: She made it back on the list. She had a great game today, she skated well and she had the beautiful assist on Mrázová’s second goal. It was the two of them against the world and they still managed to score, shorthanded.

    Kayla Meneghin: Hard to argue with putting someone on this list when she got her first NWHL goal! She also did it in her home state of New Jersey and it was certainly a goal the Whale needed at the time to gather them some momentum and tie the game.

    The next game that the Whale play will indeed be against the Riveters again, however it won’t be in Newark, NJ. Although the Whale will be the home team, the game will be in the neutral location of Pittsburgh, PA. The Riveters and the Whale will square off at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex at 3:30p. I will be in attendance for this game and I am really excited for it. The first two games they have played against each other have been spectacular and I can’t wait for what the third straight game between these two teams will bring.

  • Game Recap – 11/18/2018 – Whale Get First Win Of The Season

    Game Recap – 11/18/2018 – Whale Get First Win Of The Season

     

    The Whale came into today’s game looking for their first win of the season. They had to play against a tough Riveters team who were coming off a win against the Pride back on October 27th. It was a very tight game, with both defenses playing well and blocking shots. Ultimately it was the Whale who came out on top at the end of the game to earn them their first win of the season.

     

    The Riveters opened up the scoring in the fourteenth minute of the first period. A shot from Audra Richards bounced off of Räisänen’s glove and in the net. The Whale, in the last minute of the period, would get a great goal from Katerina Mrázová to tie up the game before the period ended. In the second period, there was no scoring but there was great back and forth play, and high energy between both teams. In the third period, it was more of the same, however with about a minute and a half remaining, a shot from the point by Shannon Doyle managed to find pay dirt and squeak past Katie Fitzgerald to give the Whale the lead. They would hang on from there to seal the win for the first time this season. Räisänen stood on her head and made some incredible saves that kept the Whale in the game and got them the win.

     

    The shots of the game were 28 for the Riveters and 20 for the Whale. It could’ve been more, but both teams were blocking shots all over the ice in their respective defensive zones. A huge shout out goes to the entire Whale penalty killers; they did a really good job of keeping the Riveters to the outside and not giving them any significant opportunities. They made sure that the Riveters went 0 for 5 on the power play.

     

    My 3 Stars of the Game

    Meeri Räisänen: Once again, she was absolutely spectacular. A bit of bad luck on the Riveters first goal, but she bounced back nicely; and she was a brick wall for the rest of the game. She made 27 saves on 28 shots.

     

    Katerina Mrázová: She has adjusted beautifully to the NWHL game and you can see that with every shift she takes. She moves the puck very well and she is always in the right areas in the offensive zone, as evidenced on the goal that she scored today.

     

    Shannon Doyle: Truth be told, before she scored the goal, I was going to put her here anyway. I was very impressed all game with how she was performing in the defensive zone. She also had some great blocks on the penalty kill and made life very difficult for the Riveters. However, it was icing on the cake, when she scored that shot from the point.

     

    The next game the Whale will be playing is again against the Riveters next Sunday at the Barnabas Health Hockey House at 2:00pm.

    Time – 2p EST

    Location – Barnabas Health Hockey House – Newark, NJ

    Preview:

    After what seems like a forever wait, the Connecticut Whale actually has a game against the Metropolitan Riveters today at 2:00pm at the Barnabas Health Hockey House. So as the schedule of games resume, let’s take a look back at how the Whale has done the past three games.

    Unfortunately, it has not been a good start of the year for the Whale. They have only scored two goals in three games. The goals came from captain, leader, legend Emily Fluke and Katerina Mrázová. Interestingly enough, both of the tallies have come in the second period. What also is unfortunate, in the three games, only five players have registered points; Mrázová, Fluke, Michelle Löwenhielm, Nina Rodgers, and Taylor Marchin. It is Mrázová leading the team with two points, a goal and an assist.

    Some bright spots that the Whale have had this season is that they boast a 90% penalty kill, as they have only allowed one powerplay goal in three games. And probably the biggest bright spot on the team this season is Meeri Räisänen. Who despite having a 0-3 record still has a .876 save percentage. This may not seem all that great but considering the amount of shots that she has faced this season, has been excellent.

    Things that I would like to see the Whale do is take more shots. They do a great job of moving the puck in the offensive zone, but at the same time, they don’t really shoot the puck. I have seen this team move the puck great low to high, but then the points don’t really shoot the puck in a timely manner.

    Hopefully they come out strong against the Riveters, as they look to avenge the playoff loss that they suffered at the hands of the champions last season.
