Hampton Blizzard | |
---|---|
Weekly Preview: | Hampton (28-9-4) went into the Christmas break thrilled and surprised with the performance of the team as the players had gelled far beyond expectation and were churning out goals at an alarming pace. The focus for 2017 was to be more consistent on defense and try and avoid late-game collapses as well as do anything to avoid shootouts and overtime – both an Achilles Heel for the Blizzard in the first half of the season. Hampton’s first week of 2017 was spent hosting three very different teams. The opener was against Wasau (22-15-3) – a strong team both offensively and defensively sporting the likes of Anze Kopitar, Claude Giroux, Duncan Keith and Corey Perry – all of whom had over 30 points by the break. The Lumberjacks had one (actually three) up on Hampton in that they’ve already posted three shutouts in the season as compared to Hampton’s 0 – thank you late-game defensive lapse! The 2nd game was against division rival Corktown (17-23-1) who have been big underachievers with the likes of Wayne Simmonds being on a pace for 10 goals on the year as opposed to 32 in the NHL. Vlad (the Impaler) Tarasenko leads the team with 17 goals and Scott Hartnell has a strong 38 points. The finale would pit Hampton against Second City (18-19-3) a team which can put the puck in the net (John Tavares 19-22-41 and Artemi Panarin 13-34-47), but have had a tough time with Tuukka Rask having a goals-against overage around 3.00 and backup Craig Anderson a horrifically disappointing 4.00. Their key in the future will be to improve on those numbers. |
Game #1: | @%$#%^@#! deflections! Brian Elliott was brilliant in goal for Hampton stopping 26 shots, but unfortunately the Lumberjacks landed 28 of them in the game. Both Corey Perry (18) and Mats Zucarello (13) tipped slapshots from the point past Elliott and accounted for all of Wasau’s scoring. Wasau netminder, Jimmy Howard, was even better than Elliott stopping 44 of 46 shots by Hampton which was good enough to send the game into dreaded overtime tied 2-2. In fact, the only chink in the Howard armor came as a result of dumb penalties which resulted in two power play goals for the Blizzard by Aaron Ekblad (13) and Jamie McGinn (17). The dreaded overtime was a non-event and was followed by the even more dreaded shootout. Now from a purist’s perspective the shootout is the hockey equivalent of having a homerun hitting contest decide ball games. It is a complete departure from the game itself eliminating defense and strategy and turns 65 minutes of blood, sweat and tears into a Hollywoodish one-on-one skills competition just to get the bloody game over with and prevent marathon regular season games. Needless to say, Wasau came out on top with 2 of three shooters scoring (Giroux and Kopitar) while Howard continued his dominance and blanked both Forsberg and plucky Dane Frans Nielsen.FINAL – WASAU 3, HAMPTON 2 (SO) |
Game #2: | The Hampton Blizzard apparently hate Finnish goaltenders. Antii Niemi was the latest victim getting chased 17 minutes into the game after allowing four goals on 15 shots. Who did the Corktown Suds throw out to take his place but another another Finn in the form of Kari Lehtonen. Lehtonen fared better – allowing only two goals on 24 shots, but in the end it made little difference as the Blizzard, still angry from their shootout loss to Wasau, cruised to a 6-1 win. New Jersey Devils’ centre Jacob Josefson scored the lone Suds’ goal late in the 1st period against Brian Elliott while the Blizzard were on the man advantage. Hampton’s goal scoring was distributed nicely over all four lines with Andrew Shaw (8), Filip Forsberg (17), Patric Hornqvist (7), and Mikael Backlund (11) each scoring singles while Jamie McGinn (18) scored goals on even strength and on the power play.FINAL – HAMPTON 6, CORKTOWN 1 |
Game #3: |
Tuuka Rask fought valiantly but for the third straight game the Hampton Blizzard fired 40 shots and found the back of the net five times in a 5-1 win over Second City.
Chiefs’ defencement Gotisbehere and Letang had an especially tough game posting a -3 on the day. Nathan MacKinnon scored the lone marker for Second City at 11:48 of the 3rd period. It was his 11th of the season. Scoring for Hampton were Patric Hornqvist (8), Tomas Herl (8), Filip Forsberg (18), Andre Burakovsky (13), and Mattias Ekholm (8). |
Weekly Summary: |
It was a case of the same old, same old for Hampton scoring a bunch of goals, allowing goals late, being unable to score in overtime and being impotent in the shootout, but lucky enough to still win two of three.

Indiana Sycamores | |
---|---|
Weekly Preview: |
Indiana has a chance to make up ground with three home games
|
Game #1: | CHI (2) @ IND(1) Shootout
Indiana, facing playing-time issues, gambles against the struggling Cosa Nostra and plays backups in goal and on defense. The defense isn’t the problem; Chicago is held to 1 goal and only 25 shots. Unfortunately, CHI goalie Petr Mrazek stood on his head, with 42 saves for the Nostra – which included fighting off a 5-minute powerplay, 4 minites of which extended into OT. In the shootout, Mrazek stymied all three Sycmore shooters to earn the extra point on the road. 3 stars: 1 point is better than none, but that game frustrated Indiana management. |
Game #2: | On paper, the toughest matchup of the week… Minneapolis(2) @ Indiana (3)Perhaps still smarting from their frustrating performance vs. CHI, the Sycamores came out swinging against the Deep Freeze, with three first-period tallies. The Sycamores pressed the attack through most of the second, but then laid back in the third and held on for the 3-2 win. Regular goalie Roberto Luongo, rested and ready for the second half of the season, was strong between the pipes for Indiana.Once again the Sycamores dominated possession and the shot totals, but the power play (now 0-10 on the homestand, with another failed 5-minute PP and a failed 5-on-3).Three stars:Williams, Bergeron, and Toews, each with 1G for IndianaImportant win for the Sycamores. |
Game #3: |
Lansing(4) @ Indiana(3) – SO Another frustrating shootout loss – the Sycamores now lead the league with 9 OT/SO losses. Very much a back-and-forth affair; Lansing led 1-0 and 2-1, Indiana fought back tot ake a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but Steen found the twine late in the third to send the game to OT. Indiana dominated OT, but once again was awful in the shootout – Luongo allowed the first 2 shooters to score, and that was that. Indiana outshot Lansing 42-25 and spent 3x as much time in the offensive zone, but couldn’t get it done. |
Weekly Summary: |
4 points is not bad, and the win over Minneapolis was huge – but leaving points on the table vs. CHI and LAN could come back to haunt the Sycamores.
|
Minneapolis Deep Freeze | |
---|---|
Weekly Preview: |
The Deep Freeze went into the break riding a red hot 8 game winning streak to move into first place in the Central division. They’ll hope to keep the streak alive with 3 home games this week hosting Thunder Bay, Chicago, and New Jersey.
|
Game #1: | Thunder Bay (3) @ Minneapolis (0)
Minneapolis gets off to a poor start, with Tatar beating Lundqvist for his 10th of the year on Thunder Bay’s first shot of the game only 32 seconds into the opening period. The teams would trade powerplays, including a brief 5-on-3 for Minneapolis, but neither team would score again and the period would end with Thunder Bay still leading 1-0. Thunder Bay will start the 2nd period with 1:20 left on a carryover powerplay. After a mostly uneventful second period, Tatar got his 2nd of the game with 3:05 remaining in the period. The second period ends with no further excitement and Thunder Bay leads 2-0. Minneapolis would come out strong in the 3rd period with 9 shots on goal (and many others wide or blocked) in the first 15 minutes, but still could not break through Mason. A late holding penalty by Bartkowski ruined any chance they had of getting back into the game. With the net empty trying to avoid being shutout, Minneapolis would get 1 more final chance before Nyquist added a 3rd goal for the Nor’Westers to make it 3-0. A dissapointing performance coming back from the holiday break ends the streak for Minneapolis. Star 1: TBN Mason 28 saves GWG: Tomas Tatar Notables: TBN None TBN MIN |
Game #2: | New Nersey (1) @ Minneapolis (4)
The Deep Freeze are not happy following the shutout loss and want everyone to know it. Minneapolis comes out firing every puck they can find at the New Jersey netminder. Minneapolis’ Shane Doan took a holding penalty which saw New Jersey almost take an early 1-0 lead, but strong goaltending from Lundqvist kept the score tied at 0. Minutes later with Filppula in the box and Minneapolis now on the powerplay, Doan (10) redeemed himself by blasting a one-timer from Huberdeau past Schneider Byfuglien starts of the second period by taking a slashing penalty for New Jersey only 33 seconds in. With Minneapolis on the powerplay, RUNTIME ERROR. Game resumed. The powerplay would end without consequence for either team. Later in the second with New Jersey breaking out of their zone, Eriksson poked a pass away to create a 3-on-2 and was able to set up Hoffman (12) to give Minneapolis a 2-0 lead. With under 2 minutes to play in the second period, Turris (7) banged home the rebound Minneapolis started the third period aggressively trying to extend the lead, mustering 8 shots on goal in the first 8 minutes. With New Jersey on their heels and trying to break out of their own end, Wideman mishandled the puck and turned it over to Getzlaf just inside their own blue line. Minneapolis capitalized on the 3-on-2 with Schenn beating Schneider to extend the lead to 3-1. New Jersey responds and finally gets some pressure on the Deep Freeze about halfway through the 3rd period, but isn’t able to beat Lundqvist this time. Another turnover in their own zone costs New Jersey again when Doan swiped the puck from Salomaki creating a 2-on-1 with Huberdeau. After a couple of passes back and forth, Doan (11) beat Schneider for his 2nd of the game to give Minneapolis the 4-1 lead. New Jersey got a couple more chances before all was said and done, but Lundqvist stood tall and Minneapolis held on to win 4-1. Star 1: MIN Doan 2 G GWG: Mike Hoffman Notables: NJG None NJG MIN |
Game #3: | Chicago (3) @ Minneapolis (4) OT
Minneapolis and Chicago were set to play this game live online, but Comcast intervened and knocked out the internet in Minneapolis so it became just a regular home game for the Deep Freeze. The Deep Freeze players went to sleep early since they couldn’t stay up late watching TV, so they come into the game well rested and ready to play. Minneapolis opened the scoring just 3 minutes into the first period when Hoffman (13) deflected a shot from Orpik past the Cosa Nostra keeper. Keeping the pressure on, it would be 8 minutes into the game before Chicago generated their first shot on goal. After waking Lundqvist up from his nap for a minute, Minneapolis brought it back up the ice and Chicago’s crumbled, allowing Schenn (8) to beat Mrazek to extend the lead to 2. Minneapolis would not let up but Mrazek kept his team in the game and the deficit at 2 despite facing 18 shots from the Deep Freeze in the period (31 attempted, 10 blocked). Minneapolis came out strong to start the 2nd period, but Hoffman took a boneheaded 5-minute penalty for cross-checking barely 2 minutes in that forced the Deep Freeze to play some defense for a while. Not even 2 minutes into the prolonged penalty kill, Pesce made matters worse for his team by turning it into a 5-on-3 for the Cosa Nostra. Minneapolis’ defenders were up the challenge and wanted to help out their goaltender, they blocked 5 shots during the penalty kill and only allowed 3 shots to reach Lundqvist during the extended penalty kill. After another powerplay for Minneapolis that failed to generate any offense, Chicago got on the board when Larkin (12) beat Lundqvist with a hard shot to bring the score to 2-1. Chicago won the ensuing faceoff and tied the game on their very next shot when Duclair (13) deflected a shot from Minneapolis hopes to get momentum back on their side at the beginning of the third period, and they would do just that with a little help from their leading scorer, as Eriksson (21) deflected a shot from Boyle to take a 3-2 lead. Minneapolis takes 2 interference penalties to Sharp and Doan less than 1:30 apart, leading to an extended powerplay for Chicago, and Chicago would make them pay. Bailey gets his 3rd of the season and ties the score at 3 with 14:27 left to play. Chicago outshot Minneapolis Halfway through the overtime period, Datsyuk gets loose for Minneapolis and goes 1-on-1 with Kronwall in front of Mrazek. He gets around the defender but fires the shot just wide of the net. Play on! Another minute later, Getzlaf fed Eriksson (22) for his second of the game to give the Deep Freeze the 4-3 win. Star 1: MIN Eriksson 2 G GWG: Loui Eriksson Notables: CHI None CHI MIN |
Weekly Summary: |
Minneapolis sees their winning streak snapped at 8 but manages to win 2 of 3 at home.

Lansing Capitals | |
---|---|
Weekly Preview: |
I’m guessing that as Lansing is currently rudderless that we may as well try and get this game in. If not … well I’d be happy to have the results not count.
|
Game #1: | UGHHHHHH!!! Deflections and overtime and shootout again spells doom for Hampton. Despite outshooting Lansing by a ridiculous margin of 41-16 Dubnyk recovers from a shaky first period to completely and utterly slam the door on the Blizzard stopping 39 shots and paving the way for a 3-2 shootout win for Lansing. Not only did Lansing have two players (Steen and Maroon) ejected from the game, they also killed off a five-minute powerplay when Maroon was canned for boarding (two minutes of which was actually a two-man advantage for Hampton). Following the game, Hampton coach Scotty Bowman invited the team over to his house for a barbecue. Reports vary but the bulk of them consistently use words like “disappointing” and “the plain shits” to describe what they found upon their arrival. Bowman, wearing a purple suede tracksuit and moccasins was out back of his house where he had fired up the ol’ Hibachi and loaded it up with two dozen no-name chicken wieners and then proclaimed only the players that could hit the targets on his backyard rink (dinner plate sized foam likenesses of Peter Puck) could have a go at a dog. It took 13 hours and the last hit dogs were like old watch bands, but the team finally succeeded in nailing all the targets vowing never to attend another team bbq. Scorers for the game for Lansing were Hudler (15) on a deflection for Pete’s sake and Campbell (3) on a high shot that beat Raanta glove side. McGinn (20) and Sekera (5) countered for Hampton |
Game #2: | Thunder Bay (2) at Lansing (3) |
Scottsdale X-Men | |
---|---|
Weekly Preview: |
After a long holiday break, X-Men all looked like they gained an extra 15 pounds each and certainly didn’t look prepared to be competitive to get back in the swing with the season.
|
Game #1: |
X-Men came out ready to shoot the puck, all the holiday eating made them sluggish and didn’t have a lot behind their 36 shots, unable to put a single puck past Bathgate goalie Carter Hutton. Meanwhile Bathgate’s dynamic duo of Patrick Kane and Jamie Benn were each able to put one past Jacob Markstrom leading way to Bathgate’s 2-0 victory over the sluggish X-Men.
|
Game #2: |
A scoring bonanza erupted as the X-Men hoped to redeem themselves against Brentwood. Jake Allen and Al Montoya might have been just as well off staying on the bench with save percentages of .881 and .696 respectively, but Scottsdale definitely got the better end of it skating away to an 8-5 victory. Rookie sensation Connor McDavid and
wily veteran Jakub Voracek registered 2 goals and 2 assist each. X-Men managed to score 8 goals on only 24 shots. |
Weekly Summary: |
Two games, two very different looks. Hopefully the holiday coma will have worn off by next week.

California claws it’s way back with Gaudreau scoring in the 2nd. In the 3rd period, with 40 seconds left, Kunitz sends it to OT with the goalie pulled. OT comes and goes… to the shoot out where Silfverberg scores on the first attempt. Holtby stones Crosby with a glove save! Fleury returns the favor and gloves a sure goal from Ovie! Malkin scores against Holtby on a slick move to the backhand. Zibanejad is stopped by Fleury with a poke-check. Marleau wins it going top shelf on Holtby.Star 1 Ekman-Larsson 1G Star 2 Parenteau 1G Star 3 Kunitz 1GFinal Score Brentwood 3, California 2 (in a SO) |

Weekly Summary: |
After all of the moves made to make this a “better” team, they have
played like anything BUT a playoff team. No talking to the media and a closed door meeting, in which you could hear the muffled screaming of coach Tom Atkins. This team still doesn’t know who they are, and they are slowly running out of time to figure it out. |
