    Gameday Preview – 12/8/2018 – Washington Capitals v. Columbus Blue Jackets

    Washington Capitals (16-9-3 35pts) v. Columbus Blue Jackets (16-10-2 34pts)

     

    Time: 7p EST

    Station: NBC Sports Washington and Fox Sports Ohio

     

    Preview:

    The Washington Capitals take on the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time in Columbus since the first round of the playoffs when the Capitals stormed back from being down 2 games to none to defeat the Blue Jackets in 6 games. The Capitals will look to win their second straight game after going on a 2 game losing streak.

     

    Washington Capitals:

    Projected Lineup:

    Injured: T.J. Oshie (concussion), Brooks Orpik (knee surgery), Tom Wilson (concussion)

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Capitalize on mistakes

    A couple weeks ago Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella talked about how this is a game of mistakes and that you need to capitalize on them rather than try to prevent them. While Tortorella is trying to get his team to create more opportunities than give through mistakes, the Blue Jackets still have a lot of issues with their puck management and the Capitals need to take advantage of this fact.

     

    2. Keep your feet moving

    The Capitals have not fared well these last few games and will need to keep their feet moving and play a full 60 minutes against a hard working Columbus Blue Jackets.

     

    Columbus Blue Jackets:

    Projected Lineup:

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Minimize the mistakes

    The Blue Jackets have been having puck management issues which has caused Tortorella to bench players and change his lineup to send the message that they need to manage the puck better.

    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 Räisänen: 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 Mrázová: 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

    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.

  • Five Whale Players Going To Nashville!

    Five Whale Players Going To Nashville!

    NWHL All Star Game
    The NWHL’s All Star Team was named the other day and there are five players headed to Nashville this season for the Connecticut Whale. Last year the Whale had four players at the All Star Game in Minnesota, and it was Kelly Babstock, Sydney Rossman, Sam Faber, and Amanda Boulier who went.
    The Whale players playing for Lee Stecklein’s team will be captain Emily Fluke and Michelle Löwenhielm.
    The Whale players playing for Shannon Szabados’s team will be Meeri Räisänen, leading scorer Katerina Mrázová, and Shannon Doyle.
    Let’s take a look at the stats that got them there.

    Emily Fluke
    Voted to the All Star Game via fan vote; in the six games played so far this season, she has tallied a goal and has two assists for three points. While not the most stellar of numbers, she has been one of the hardest working forwards on the top line.

    Michelle Lowenhielm
    In her first season in the NWHL; in the six games she has played, she has done really well. She is still waiting for that elusive first goal, but she has registered three assists. Including a sweet assist to Mrázová while the Whale were shorthanded against the Riveters.

    Meeri Raisanen

    She has quite honestly been one of the Whale’s best players all season long. In the six games she has started, she has gone 2-3-1, with a 2.72 GAA and a .918 save percentage. In her last game, she recorded a shutout on her birthday.

    Shannon Doyle
    In the six games she has played, she has been one of the Whale’s best defenders on the ice, blocking numerous shots. She has also recorded two goals this season, both goals came in her last three games, including a late game winner against the Riveters.

    Katerina Mrazova
    In her first season in the NWHL, in the six games she has played, she leads the team in goals and points. She has tallied five goals and two assists for seven points. She also leads the team in shots on goal with 22. Two of her five goals have been on the power play. Also, one goal came while the team was shorthanded against the Riveters.
    Congrats to all the players selected, it is absolutely well deserved!

    Game Recap – 12/6/2018 – Washington Capitals v. Arizona Coyotes

    Washington Capitals (15-9-3 33pts) v. Arizona Coyotes (13-11-2 28pts)

     

     

    Game Recap:

    The Capitals snapped their 2 game losing streak by continuing to play the game, and not backing down when things looked really bad in the first period. The Capitals also ended the Coyotes 4 game winning streak in the process. Another great game for Pheonix Copley in the net for the Capitals.

     

    Lineups:

    Washington Capitals:

    Alex Ovechkin — Nicklas Backstrom — Andre Burakovsky

    Jakub Vrana — Evgeny Kuznetsov — Brett Connolly

    Chandler Stephenson — Lars Eller — Devante Smith-Pelly

    Dmitrij Jaskin — Nic Dowd — Travis Boyd

    Michal Kempny — John Carlson

    Dmitry Orlov — Matt Niskanen

    Jonas Siegenthaler — Christian Djoos

    Pheonix Copley

    Braden Holtby

    Scratched: Madison Bowey

    Injured: T.J. Oshie (concussion), Brooks Orpik (knee surgery), Tom Wilson (concussion)

     

    Arizona Coyotes:

    Alex Galchenyuk — Nick Schmaltz — Clayton Keller

    Richard Panik — Derek Stepan — Christian Fischer

    Mario Kempe — Brad Richardson — Vinnie Hinostroza

    Lawson Crouse — Nick Cousins — Josh Archibald

    Oliver Ekman-Larsson — Kevin Connauton

    Jakob Chychrun — Niklas Hjalmarsson

    Alex Goligoski — Jordan Oesterle

    Adin Hill

    Calvin Pickard

    Scratched: Conor Garland, Ilya Lyubushkin

    Injured: Antti Raanta (lower body), Darcy Kuemper (lower body), Michael Grabner (eye), Jason Demers (lower body), Christian Dvorak (upper body)

     

    First Period:

    Coyotes Goal – 4:48 – Christian Fischer (6) from Derek Stepan (7)

    Capitals Penalty – 18:38 – Lars Eller 2 minutes for Hooking

     

    End of 1st – WAS – 0       ARI – 1

    Shots              11                11

    Faceoffs         07                07

    Hits               09                  06

    PP                 0/0                 0/0 *1st in progress

     

    Analysis:

    This was not the greatest period for the Capitals. They were overwhelmed by the Coyotes speed, and there were too many turnovers as the Capitals had 6 compared to the Coyotes 1. This game could be worse, but Pheonix Copley has been playing very well to keep the Capitals in the game.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals need to play a better overall game and contain the Coyotes speed as that is one of the biggest reasons as to why the Coyotes are forcing all of these turnovers. Also the Capitals need to play much better in their own zone.

     

    Second Period:

    Coyotes Penalty Shot – 1:16 – Richard Panik – Miss (Brett Connolly – Throw Object at Puck)

    Capitals Goal – 5:27 – Jakub Vrana (9) from Brett Connolly (13) and Evgeny Kuznetsov (19)

    Coyotes Goal – 6:58 – Lawson Crouse (6) from Nick Cousins (6) and Jordan Oesterle (5)

    Capitals Penalty – 11:25 – Matt Niskanen 2 minutes for High Sticking

    Coyotes Penalty – 13:07 – Jakob Chychrun 2 minutes for Tripping

    Capitals Goal – 16:00 – Matt Niskanen (4) from Travis Boyd (6) and Pheonix Copley (1)

    PP                   0/1                  0/2

     

    Analysis:

    This was a very back and forth period for the Capitals. It was good as they got the first and last goals of the period to make this game 2-2 going into the 2nd intermission. However, the Capitals are still chasing the Coyotes.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals need to do a better job at containing and combating the Coyotes speed. Also the Capitals need to do a better job in the faceoff circle.

     

    Third Period:

    Capitals Penalty Shot – :16 – Jakub Vrana – Miss (Kevin Connauton – Hooking on Breakaway)

    Capitals Goal – 15:18 – Andre Burakovsky (5) from Matt Niskanen (10) and Dmitry Orlov (8)

    Capitals PPG _ 19:57 – Alex Ovechkin (21) from unassisted

    PP                 0/1                    0/2

     

    Analysis:

    This was a fast moving 3rd period that started with a good break by Jakub Vrana drawing a Penalty Shot, but unable to capitalize, but then Andre Burakovsky netting the eventual game winner late in the 3rd to give the Capitals the win.

     

    Next Up:

    Washington (16-9-3 35pts) v. Columbus (16-10-2 34pts)

    Analysis

    Leafs came out strong in this one with Kasperi Kapanen scoring his 11th of the season but then bad goaltending and solid defence from the Red Wings caught up to them as Garrett Sparks allowed 3 goals, 2 of which were pretty soft.

    Need to Do:

    Everything to the net.

     

    Third Period:

    Analysis:

    Leafs come out flying and score 3 goals in the 3rd courtesy of Tavares, Hyman and Johnsson to bring it to overtime! All out aggressive play in the 3rd and it worked.

    Overtime:

    Detroit Goal – 02:48 – Dylan Larkin (11) assisted by Gustav Nyquist(19)

    Next Up:

    Toronto (20-8-1 41pts) vs Boston (14-9-4 32pts)
