  • Whale Score, But Fall To The Beauts Again

    Whale Score, But Fall To The Beauts Again

     

    Well, at least it wasn’t a shutout. Also, even though she got two assists in the game, Kelly Babstock didn’t score either. So they still haven’t been burned by an ex-player. But I will dispense with the humor here. The Whale once again played a really tough game against the Beauts last night. However, this time the score reflects that; as the final yesterday was 3-1. There was good action for both teams, and the goalies played really well. It was All Star Meeri RΓ€isΓ€nen for the Whale and her All Star teammate Shannon Szabados for the Beauts.

    In the first period, the Whale had some early power plays as Kelly Babstock was sent to the box twice before the seven minute mark of the first. However, even with the early advantage, the Whale couldn’t muster much in the way of offense. That was evidenced, as the Whale are officially credited with two shots on goal in the first. Everything looked like it would be a tie heading into the first intermission, but just before the end of the first, the Beauts Julianna Iafallo scored. With that goal, the teddy bears came flying on the ice.

    In the second period, Buffalo got off to a good start getting a goal at the two minute mark. This goal came from Hayley Scamurra. This would be Scamurra’s fourth goal against the Whale this season, and her seventh point in the three games played. With a little over half of the period played, the Whale would get one back. The captain Emily Fluke scooped up the puck and rounded the circle in the offensive zone and she took a shot which was deflected in front and off the deflection, it got by Szabados. Who got the goal? Why, none other than Katerina MrΓ‘zovΓ‘ of course. She was in the right place to get this goal. It would be her sixth goal of the year, and her fifth in the last four games.

    Not much happened in the third period. Both teams did trade chances; however it would be Buffalo getting the insurance marker. At the halfway mark of the period, a goal that came from Emily Janiga, which would be her first tally on the year. After that goal, the Beauts cruised on for the win.

    Not a ton to write home about in this game. The Beauts simply played a better, grittier style in their defensive zone, despite the fact that before the game, the Beauts relieved their head coach and their GM of their job. Their style of defense held the Whale to 11 shots on goal through the whole game. That’s a lot like the first game that these two teams played this season, when the Beauts held Connecticut to 10 shots all game.

    The penalty kill was once again good. I’ve said it a lot this season, but I really think that the penalty kill has been the best thing about the Whale all season long. The commitment to blocking shots and keeping teams to the outside, making the saves easier for RΓ€isΓ€nen. Also, they have been doing a really good job getting the pucks out of the zone on every penalty kill. The Whale did an exceptional job staying out of the box and the penalty kill was perfect yet again. They stymied the Beauts and made them go 0 for 2 on their power play. This pushes their PK percentage up to 96% which is league leading and absolutely insane.

    Also quick note, making her Whale debut was former Beauts defender Colleen Murphy. She played really well, registering a shot on goal and was a -1 in the game. Definitely looking forward to the veteran presence that she will bring to the Whale blue line.

    Β 

    3 Stars of the Game

    Meeri RΓ€isΓ€nen: She made 32 saves in the losing effort, however; she came up big when she needed to and kept the Whale in the game. Cause let’s be honest, it could have been a whole lot worse.

    Emily Fluke: Tallying the primary assist on the MrΓ‘zovΓ‘ goal, she was leading the way in the offensive zone. (I actually thought the goal was her’s) She was tied with MrΓ‘zovΓ‘ in shots on goal in the game with two.

    Katerina MrΓ‘zovΓ‘: She got another goal. It’s crazy how well she’s been playing all season long. As stated above, it’s her team leading sixth goal on the year and her fifth in the last four games.

    Gameday Preview – 12/8/2018 – Connecticut Whale v. Buffalo Beauts

    Whale And Beauts Set For Third Clash Of The Season

     

    It’s game day for the Whale and they will square off against the Buffalo Beauts tonight. It’s a chance for the Whale to prove that they are much better than they were at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately in the previous two games against the Beauts; the Whale were unable to score, and the Beauts went on to win both matchups by a combined 11 goals. The first game was a final of 4-0 for the Beauts in Connecticut during the Whale home opener at Terry Conners Rink. Unfortunately the second game was worse, a 7-0 shellacking in Buffalo.

    Definitely not scores we want to see repeated. Both Beauts goaltenders recorded a shutout in those games. However, like all things there are some positives to take from the game. The puck movement for the Whale was good at the start of the year, even though the shots were lacking. In the past three games, the Whale have done a much better job at taking shots from the point and collecting rebounds, which have led to some big goals.

    The biggest positive that I noticed, seeing the boxscores of the two games played already; as it has been all year long, the Whale penalty kill has been spectacular. It stymied the Riveters in the last three games, and the Beauts are no exception either. In the two games the Whale penalty kill were perfect again, by making the Beauts go a combined 0 for 8. If the games against the Riveters proved anything, it is that momentum can be gathered from a successful penalty kill.

     

    The game will be in Buffalo at the HarborCenter at 6p and can be seen live on Twitter.

     

    3 Players to Watch

    Meeri RΓ€isΓ€nen: Recently coming off a shutout on her birthday in Pittsburgh, she looks to continue her good play and improve upon the 93 saves she has made in the past three games.

    Katerina MrΓ‘zovΓ‘: The leading scorer for the Whale is on fire. She has five goals on the year, and she has four goals in last three games.

    Haley Scamurra: In the two games she played against the Whale, she scored three goals and added three assists for six points.

  • Buffalo Beauts Relieve Coaches Ric Seiling and Craig Muni

    Buffalo Beauts Relieve Coaches Ric Seiling and Craig Muni

    Beauts News 12-7-2018

    In a shocking announcement, the Buffalo Beauts have relieved coaches Ric Seiling and Craig Muni of their duties and have named Cody McCormick as their new Interim Head Coach.

     

    The reason this is very shocking to all of us is because of the fact that the Beauts are actually not playing horrible this season. In 6 games played, the Beauts are 3-3-0 with 6 points to stand at 3rd place in the NWHL. Also in these six games the Beauts have scored 20 goals while giving up 11 for a +9 goal differential.

     

    Also it should be noted that both Ric Seiling and Craig Muni have been successful with the Beauts guiding them to the Isobel Cup Championship Game both seasons they have been with the organization, which also includes an Isobel Cup Championship victory in 2016-17.

     

    The Beauts will not have long to digest the news that has taken place tonight as tomorrow at 6p EST at the HarborCenter the Beauts will be hosting the Connecticut Whale for their annual Teddy Bear Toss game.

     

    More details to come as they become available.
