    Boston would notch the first goal of the game, very early on. The tally coming from Christina Putigna, her third goal of the season, with the assists on the play coming from Jenna Rheault and Allie Thunstrom. Boston would then add 3 more goals in the second period, giving them 4 unanswered goals in the game. The goals coming from Taylor Wenczkowski, her second goal, Elizabeth Giguere, her fifth goal, and Jillian Dempsey, her eighth goal.

    The Whale would answer with 2 goals of their own before the end of the period. The first goal coming via shorthanded, scored by Taylor Girard. It would be her fourth goal of the season, and her third shorthanded goal, which leads the league. The other Connecticut goal was scored by Justine Reyes, her second goal of the year.

    Loren Gabel would add the lone goal in the third period for the Pride, which came via an empty net, and it would confirm the 5-2 victory for the Pride.

  • Third Period Collapse Sink Whale

    Third Period Collapse Sink Whale

    Puck drop for Season 8 of the PHF took place tonight. It sees the rematch of the Isobel Cup Finals from last season; the defending champions Boston Pride taking on last year’s runner ups, the Connecticut Whale. Here is how the two teams would line up:

    The Official Jersey Retailer of TXHT

    There was no scoring in the first period between both teams. They seemed to be evenly matched, as the shots on goal ratio was close, a tally of 11-9 in favor of the Pride.

    In the second period, Boston would draw first blood in the game. The goal would come from one of the newcomers for the Pride, Elizabeth Giguere, her first goal of the season. A bank pass from the neutral zone would find the streaking Giguere on the left side, and she would rifle the shot over Ives’ blocker. The period would end with Boston clinging to a 1-0 lead heading into the third period.

    In the third period, the wheels would fall off for the Whale, as they would give up three goals. The first one would come a little over halfway in the period. The goal would come from Loren Gabel, her first of the season. A 2 on 1 play would see the shot from Giguere saved by Ives, but the rebound would find the stick of Gabel and she would deposit it in the open net.

    A whole ten seconds would pass, and the Pride would add an insurance marker. Another newcomer to the team, Allie Thunstrom would net her first goal of the season. Thunstrom would use her speed to get by the Whale defenders and have a mini breakaway. She would get the shot off and it would go through the legs of Ives, and in the net.

    46 seconds later, the Pride while on the power play would add their fourth goal of the game. The goal would come from Loren Gabel, her second goal of the game and season. A pass across from Flanagan would find Gabel above the right circle. She would carry the puck down to the dot and rifle a shot over Ives’ blocker and in the net. Boston would hang on to preserve the shutout and the first victory of the season.

    Corinne Schroeder of the Boston Pride would record the victory and the shutout by facing 36 shots and making 36 saves. While Abbie Ives of the Connecticut Whale would face 41 shots and she would make 37 saves.

    2022-23 Preview

    3 Questions:

    How impactful will the addition of Thunstrom be for the offense?

    One of the major additions to the Boston Pride is an impact player in Allie Thunstrom. During her 4 seasons with the Minnesota Whitecaps, she played in 64 games for the Whitecaps, tallying 47 goals and adding 19 assists for 66 points. Also, she is a Isobel Cup Champion during the 2018-19 season, and also earned the MVP award in 2019-20. Thunstrom is also one of the fastest skaters in the PHF, and she’ll bring that speed and goal scoring ability to a potent offense. The question is who will be her line mates, and how will the opposing defenses stop them?

    What kind of season is in store for Wenczkowski?

    This is now the third season for Taylor Wenczkowski, during her previous two seasons, she has played 27 games. In those games, she has scored 9 times and added 7 assists for 16 points. She really came into her own as an impact player during the playoffs in Florida. During the three games down in Florida, she scored 3 goals, including the Cup clinching goal. She provides great depth scoring that teams need during crunch time. What kind of season is in store for her? She’s done enough to earn more playing time, and much like Thunstrom, you have to wonder who her line mates will be when the season kicks off.

    Can the Pride three peat as champions?

    Heading into last season, I asked whether or not the Pride were good enough to repeat as Champions. The simple answer was yes. They finished 3rd during the regular season, and came on strong during the playoffs to hoist the trophy for the second time in a row and third time in history. Now, they are looking to three peat, and hoist their 4th trophy in their franchise history. Why is the three peat milestone huge? Firstly, in the realm of women’s hockey, colleges like Middlebury were NESCAC three peat champions, Northeastern three peated Hockey East. I don’t think it’s been done at the professional level in North America. So it would the first time ever, which is huge. But secondly, it would be the first time any hockey team, men’s or women’s, has done it in North America since the New York Islanders won 4 straight Stanley Cups in the 80s.

    Minnesota Whitecaps (1-1-1 3pts) v. Boston Pride (4-0-0 8pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    In the second game of their back to back weekend series the Minnesota Whitecaps look to bounce back against the Boston Pride, but the Whitecaps would not do themselves any favors as they would take three consecutive penalties that would cause the Whitecaps to go down two women at one point. However, the Pride would not be able to capitalize on any of their three powerplay opportunities, especially with the extended 5 on 3 chance, but they would strike a little later as they would get on the board first with McKenna Brand’s sixth of the season on a beautiful tic tac toe play with Christina Putigna. Then Tori Sullivan would score her second of the season to give the Pride the 2-0 lead. The Pride would take a late penalty, but the Whitecaps would not be able to capitalize on their lone opportunity.

     

    In the second period the Whitecaps would get an early powerplay opportunity to when Christina Putigna would be called for high sticking, but were unable to capitalize on the opportunity. However, they would get on the board with a Sydney Baldwin goal to cut the Pride’s lead to one. But Jonna Curtis would take an ill advised tripping penalty, and with this powerplay opportunity the Pride would get on the board with a Lexie Laing marker. both teams would continue to generate chances, but the goaltending of Lovisa Selander of the Pride and Amanda Leveille of the Whitecaps would keep this a 3-1 Pride lead heading into the second intermission.

     

    In the third period the Whitecaps would get another early powerplay opportunity to start a period, and this time they would capitalize as Stephanie Anderson would score her first career NWHL goal to cut the Pride’s lead to one once again. However, that would not deter the Pride as they would strike 90 seconds later as Mary Parker would score her first goal of the season to regain the two goal lead. Then Christina Putigna would knock in the loose puck after a hard Jillian Dempsey drive to secure the Pride a 5-2 victory. Both Selander and Leveille would put up strong perfomances again as they faced a combined 84 shots.

    NWHL Game Recap – 10/19/2019 – Minnesota Whitecaps v. Boston Pride

    Minnesota Whitecaps (1-0-1 3pts) v. Boston Pride (3-0-0 6pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into the weekend the undefeated Boston Pride play host to the 2019 Isobel Cup Champion Minnesota Whitecaps, and in this highly anticipated matchup it would not disappoint as both teams would play a very even game against eachother early on as both teams would trade chances. However, it would be Alyssa Wohlfeiler breaking the scoreless tie with a beautiful shot that would beat Whitecaps goaltender Amanda Leveille to give the Pride the 1-0 lead. The rest of the period it would be Leveille and Lovisa Selander playing aggressively in their respective nets and keeping the game close as both teams generated quality scoring chances. At the end of the period Leveille would have stopped 12 out of 13 shots faced while Selander stopped at 14 shots she faced in the first.

     

    In the second period the physicality would pick up as this period would see a total of five penalties with three involving either roughing or body checking. However, when it came to the powerplay the Whitecaps were unable to convert on both of their opportunities, while the Pride woulkd not convert on their lone chance of the period. The Pride would strike once again as McKenna Brand would score her fifth of the season as Jillian Dempsey would feed Brand with a beautiful pass as she would bury it past Leveille to give the Pride the 2-0 lead heading into the second period. For the shots, the Pride would get 18 shots on goal for a total of 31 through 40 minutes while the Whitecaps had 16 shots in the second for a total of 30through 40 minutes.

     

    In the third period it would be Kaleigh Fratkin extending the Pride’s lead to three as she would score from the point in the first 73 seconds of the period. However, the Whitecaps would respond with a couple of solid chances to try to get on the board and cut the deficit, but it would be Selander standing tall for the Pride between the pipes. near the midway mark of the period Lexi Bender would be called for roughing, and while on the powerplay the Whitecaps would give up a few quality shorthanded chances to the Pride but Leveille was up to the task, and then Allie Thunstrom would get a spectacular breakaway opportunity, but Selander would rob her with an even more spectacular save to keep the Pride’s lead at three. Late in the period Thunstrom would get another opportunity and this time she would drill it home as she would score her third of the season and cut the Pride’s lead to two. With the hopes to mount a comeback the Whitecaps would pull Leveille for the extra attacker, but it would not amount to anything as the Boston Pride would defeat the Minnesota Whitecaps 3-1 and remain undefeated with a 4-0-0 record.
