  • 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.

    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.

  • October 22nd, 2018 News and Notes

     

    These are your news and notes for Monday, October 22nd, 2018:

     

    In the NHL yesterday there were three contests…

    • First, the Tampa Bay Lightning registered a franchise-record 55 shots on goal to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-3. Tampa Bay is 5-1-1 on the season thus far and is 6-0-1 in the last seven contests against Chicago.Tampa Bay recorded 33 shots on goal during the second period, the highest total in a period since the 1997-98 season.

      Brayden Point had his first game-winner of the season and the 15th of his career in 157 games played. There are only three other players who have more since debuting in the NHL in the 2016-17 season.

    • Johnny Gaudreau registered his 300th NHL point in his 320th game last night as the Calgary Flames went on to rout the New York Rangers 4-1.Gaudreau would score twice to reach the milestone and helped lead the Flames to a record of 5-3-0 on the season. Calgary won at Madison Square Garden for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

      Gaudreau, a fourth round pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, became the fourth player from that draft class to reach this milestone as well. He also became the sixth player to reach 300 career points.

    • The Buffalo Sabres defeated the Anaheim Ducks 4-2, after a pre-game ceremony for the retirement of Paul Kariya’s number at Honda Center. There is more on Paul Kariya’s number retirement in the NHL news section.

     

    Yesterday’s results:

    • Tampa Bay 6, CHICAGO 3
    • Calgary 4, NY RANGERS 1
    • Buffalo 4, ANAHEIM 2

     

    In the NWHL yesterday…

    The Minnesota Whitecaps went on to defeat the Metropolitan Riveters 6-2. This would also mark a season-sweep of the Riveters in the second half of games in New Jersey.

    Whitecaps G Amanda Leveille registered 26 shots and continued to dominate the Riveters all game. Leveille is 4-0-0 against Metropolitan this season and 9-4-0 in 13 matchups all time against the Riveters.

    The Whitecaps trio of Allie Thunstrom, Katie McGovern, and Joanna Curtis all made the scoresheet.

    The only possible time that the Riveters will face the Whitecaps again is if there is a potential playoff matchup.

    Minnesota would jump out to a 3-0 lead before the Riveters would notch their first goal of the game with less than 2:30 left in the second period, as the Whitecaps were dominating the Riveters throughout the first 30 minutes of the game. The Whitecaps would also find a recipe of success in this contest by shooting and scoring.

    Four different scores for the Whitecaps would define the dominance in this contest.

    The Riveters look to bounce back from back-to-back losses on Saturday when the Riveters visit the Boston Pride at Warrior Ice Arena.

    For Minnesota, they look to extend their 4-0-0 start when they have a back-to-back slate of games next weekend when they face off against the Buffalo Beauts at TRIA Rink.
