    In the first period, it would be the home Buffalo Beauts, who would strike first, the goal coming from Whitney Dove, her second goal of the season. A blast from the point that would get by everyone, including the goaltender.

    Before the end of the first period, the Beauts would double their lead in the game. The goal coming from Allison Attea, her first goal of the season, and her first career PHF goal. Another shot from the blue line that would elude everyone, including the goalkeeper’s glove and the puck would fly into the top corner of the net. The Beauts would take a 2-0 lead heading into the second period.

    Early in the second period, the Force would get on the board and cut into the Buffalo lead. The goal coming from Deziray De Sousa, her first goal of the season. She carried the puck up the left side of the offensive zone and let go a low shot that would get through the legs of Hofmann. The Force would still be down a goal heading into the third period.

    Early in the third period, Montreal would tie up the game. The goal would come from Kristina Shanahan, her first goal of the season. A shot from the point by Kaity Howarth would somehow avoid the bodies in front and the puck would find the stick of Catherine Dubois, who would make a backhand cross crease pass that would find Shanahan to deposit the puck into the net.

    Four minutes later, the Beauts would once again take the lead. The goal coming from Autumn MacDougall, her first goal of the season. MacDougall would slip behind the Force’s defense and she would bust in on the breakaway. She looked like she was going to lose the puck, but at the last moment, she regained possession and was able to lift the puck and shoot it into the roof of the net.

    According to the boxscore, that was the only shot taken by the Beauts in the third period, and it would prove to be the game winner, as the Beauts would hold on to defeat Montreal by a score of 3-2.

    Tera Hofmann would get the start for the Buffalo Beauts, and she would face 33 shots, making 31 saves. While Marie-Soleil Deschenes would start for the Montreal Force, she would face 18 shots, making 15 saves.

    2022-23 Preview

    3 Questions:

    How impactful will the loss of Carly Jackson be felt?

    During the 17 games she started last season, she had a record of 6-11-0 with a 3.25 GAA and a .903 save percentage. However, no one will dispute how impactful Carly Jackson was for the Buffalo Beauts, as she kept them in multiple games during the season. Carly Jackson has now joined the Toronto Six for the season upcoming. Now the goaltenders for the Beauts are a returning Lovisa Berndtsson and newcomer Kassidy Suave. Berndtsson went 0-3-0 with a 4.36 GAA and a .886 save percentage, while Suave is a PWHPA veteran. Who takes over between the pipes this season?

    There is no Taylor Accursi this season, who steps up?

    Taylor Accursi was informed that she would not be returning to the Beauts this season upcoming. What does that mean? Well, the captain of the Beauts the last two seasons, had played 66 games, scoring 29 goals and adding 24 assists for a total of 53 points. Now, it could very well be that she gets signed later on as the season goes but for now, the Beauts are losing an impact player. So what now? Someone is going to need to step up and make up for lost points. One player that can be counted on would be Mikyla Grant-Mentis. However, who else is going to step up? Second year player Jenna Suokko? Autum MacDougall? Anjelica Diffendal? Any of the newcomers? Should be very interesting to see what shakes out.

    How impactful will Mikyla Grant-Mentis be?

    Speaking of Mikyla Grant-Mentis, one of the largest contract signings in PHF history is taking her talents to the Buffalo Beauts. This will actually be her second run with Buffalo. For those who didn’t know, she played with the Beauts back during the 2019-20 season. Where she played 2 regular season games, scoring twice and adding an assist. During the playoffs that season, she played 1 game, scoring a goal and getting an assist as well. She then on to have 2 great years with the Toronto Six, scoring 18 goals and nabbing 21 assists for 39 points. She also secured an MVP award during the 2020-21 season. She has a PPG of 1.56 during her PHF career, and there’s no doubt that she will get her points. Who will be along side her to help her conquest in Buffalo?

  • Neumann Saves 41 As Beauts Top Whale

    Neumann Saves 41 As Beauts Top Whale

    Last week, the NWHL had a bye week, so that gave teams extra time to prepare for games this weekend. The Whale, looking to get their first win of the season, squared off against the Beauts, who came off a loss yesterday to the Boston Pride. It would be Whale go-to goalie Sonija Shelly in net for Connecticut and Kelsey Neumann in net for Buffalo.

    In the first period, it would be a quick start for the Whale, trying to capitalize on early momentum. However, Neumann would stop every shot attempt in the period. The same went for Shelly, who didn’t have as much work to do in the period. Only one penalty was called in the period, and it would be against the Whale’s veteran defender Jordan Brickner. The Beauts would fail to capitalize on the power play. The period ended scoreless, however the Whale would lead in the shot on goal department 13-4.

    Action would pick up in the second period, as the Beauts would strike first, 30 seconds into the period. The goal coming from Taylor Accursi, with the assists coming from Lenka Curmova and Iveta Klimasova. The teams would trade chances back and forth, with the goalies coming up large for both teams. The period would end with the Whale down 1-0 and again out-shooting the Beauts 12-10 in the period.

    In the third period, the Beauts would double their lead 13 minutes into the period, with a goal from Erin Gehen. Assists on the play would come from Brooke Stacey and Cassidy MacPherson. The Beauts weren’t allowed to be comfortable though, as less than 2 minutes later, the Whale would get one, to cut the lead in half. The goal coming from Kayla Meneghin, it would be her team leading 3rd goal of the season. She has scored at least a goal in the last 3 games that she’s played. Assists on the play came from Sarah Schwenzfeier, her 2nd point of the season, and Jordan Brickner, her 6th point of the season, and tied for the team lead. That would be the closest the Whale could get, as with a minute left in the period, the Beauts would net an empty net goal. The goal coming from Kim Brown, assists on the play came from Brooke Stacey, her second point of the game, and Marie – Jo Pelletier.

    Final stats for the goalies were Neumann for the Beauts faced 42 shots and came up with 41 saves. Sonija Shelly turned in a good performance too, she faced 25 shots and came up with 23 saves.

    The next game for the Whale will be against the league leading Boston Pride. The start time for the game will be 630p in Boston at Warrior Ice Arena. Should be a good game, as it will be the first game of the year where the Whale will face their former captain Emily Fluke.

    For those keeping track at home, Shannon Doyle turned in 1 blocked shot for the game today, giving her a total of 17 blocks on the year. She is donating a $1 for every block she records for her fundraiser Blocks For Books. Here is the link for those who want to make a donation too:

  • Whale Get Swept In Buffalo

    Whale Get Swept In Buffalo

    After coming off an overtime defeat yesterday, the Whale were looking to bounce back and salvage the weekend. It unfortunately did not go in their favor as the Beauts defeated the Whale today by a final score of 6-4.

    Here was the game day line up:

    In the first period, Buffalo would jump out to a quick lead, only taking 3 minutes to break the ice and draw first blood. The goal came from Brooke Stacy with the assists going to Iveta Klimasova and Marie- Jo Pelletier. It wouldn’t take long for Buffalo to double their lead, the goal from Taylor Accursi on the power play would beat the debuting Cassandra Goyette. Assists on the play came from Marie- Jo Pelletier, her second of the game, and Becki Bowering. However the Whale would get one back 10 minutes later as Kayla Meneghin would notch her first goal of the season, with the assist coming from Kaycie Anderson. 2 minutes later, after a Whale penalty, the Beauts would add to their lead on the power play, with Cassidy MacPherson getting the goal, with Megan Delay and Erin Gehen getting the assists on the power play. Then in quick strike fashion, Buffalo would get another goal, this time from Marie- Jo Pelletier, this would be her third point of the period. Assists on the play came from Lenka Curmova and Sara Bustad. The period would end 4-1 in favor of the Beauts.

    In the start of the second period, we would see a goalie change for the Whale. It just was not Cassandra Goyette’s day and definitely not a debut to remember. In stepped Sonjia Shelly for the Whale. Early on in the second period, the Whale would get a goal from their veteran defender Jordan Brickner. Assist on the play came from Grace Klienbach, and it cut the Beauts lead in half. However, about 2 minutes later the Beauts would answer right back, the goal coming from Lenka Curmova, her second point of the game. Assist on the play came from Sara Bustad, which would be her second assist on the day too. At the end of the second, the score would be 5-2 in favor of the Beauts.

    In the third period, the Whale would begin their climb back into the game. It would take 6 minutes in the period to see them notch their first goal. The goal coming from Emma Vlasic, and the assist on the play from Shannon Doyle. Ripping a page out of the Buffalo playbook and getting a second goal in quick succession, the Whale would get one from Haley Payne, her first career NWHL goal, in just her second game. The assist on the play came from Hanna Beattie, which made it a one goal game. After some furious back and forth action, it unfortunately would be the closest the Whale would get to tying the game as Brooke Stacey would stash the empty netter. It would be Stacey’s second goal of the game. The assist on the play came from Marie- Jo Pelletier, it would be her third assist of the game and her fourth point.

    A tough two games against the Beauts this weekend. Now the Whale will get to face someone different next weekend, as they will get the Whitecaps at home in Danbury. Puck drop will be at 330p on Saturday October 26th.

  • Whale Earn Point In Buffalo

    Whale Earn Point In Buffalo

    The Connecticut Whale came in looking to get their first win, on this early campaign. They unfortunately fell to the Beauts in their home opener 2 weeks ago, but there was a lot of positives to take from that game.

    Here is the starting line up for today’s game:

    The Whale hopped out to a quick start in the first period. It would only take 5 minutes for them to get their first goal. The goal coming from Jane Morrisette, it would be her first career NWHL goal. The assist on the play came from Jordan Brickner. It would not take long for Morrisette to add her second career NWHL goal as 2 minutes later, she would double the Whale lead. The assist on this play came from Elena Orlando. About 4 minutes later, the Whale would add a third goal, this time it came from Shannon Doyle, it would be her first goal of the season, assist from Jordan Brickner, her second of the period. It staked the Whale to a 3-0 lead at the end of the first.

    Penalties in the first were 2 penalties to the Beauts, to the Whale’s 1. The Whale were the only team to capitalize on a power play in the first, with Shannon Doyle’s goal.

    In the second period, both teams would get into penalty trouble as there were 11 total penalties called. 7 against the Beauts and 4 against the Whale. However the Beauts would begin their climb back into the game as 2 minutes into the frame, the Beauts would get their first goal of the game. It came from Taylor Accursi, with the assists coming from Corinne Buie and Iveta Klimasova. 9 minutes later, the Beauts would get another one back as Lenka Curmova would get one past Sonjia Shelly, with the assist coming form Brooke Stacey. That would be the end of the scoring for the period with the Whale holding a 3-2 lead heading into the third. Both goals for the Beauts in the period came via the power play.

    In the third period, the Whale would get on the board first, as it would be Sarah Hughson who would beat Fujimagari. The assist came from Jane Morrisette, it would be her third point of the game, and it gave the Whale a 4-2 lead. However, this 2 goal lead would be short lived as 2 minutes later, Brooke Stacey would answer right back, assists on the play coming from Erin Gehen and Iveta Klimasova, her second assist of the game. 2 minutes later, the Beauts would get another quick strike, as Kim Brown would tie the game up, the assist on the play came from Lenka Curmova, her second point of the game. The Whale would get a late 5 on 3 power play but failed to capitalize and the game went to overtime.

    Penalties in the third was 4 for the Beauts and 2 for the Whale. Both teams scored a goal while on the power play.

    In the extra session, it would be almost the entire period before we got the decisive goal. After the Whale took a penalty late in the frame, it proved to be costly as Buffalo found a way to capitalize on it. The goal coming from Marie-Jo Pelletier who got it by Shelly.

     

    The Whale can not dwell on this game, as they will play these same Beauts again tomorrow. Puck drop will be at 130p.

     

    For those who are interested, Whale defender Shannon Doyle has 5 blocked shots on the season, while she did not register a blocked shot today, she is donating a $1 for every block she records for her fundraiser Blocks For Books. Here is the link for those who want to make a donation too.
