Bobcat's Post-Game Notes, Game 4
Jackets win, 4-3 in overtime over the Vancouver Canucks.
-Thankfully, Lars switched up the defensive pairings. Werenski and Peeke was our first pairing (as the fanbase had been screaming about since last season ended, Guddy with Gavi, and the season debut of Nick Blankenburg alongside Jake Bean. Let's see how this turns out.
-...We gave up a shorthanded goal. To one of the worst penalty kill squads in the league right now. Ugh.
-Elias Petterson scores off a bad bounce off the boards. Not much Elvis could really do there. It's now 2-0. Bad luck.
-LUKE SCHENN! MATHIEU OLIVIER! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Schenn controlled the fight for the duration, but Ollie got the takedown to end it. I'd call that a draw.
-I have gained a new-found respect for Nick Blankenburg. For such a small guy, he really likes to throw the body around. First he gets Dakota Joshua along the boards (and draws the roughing minor that lead to the SHG), but now he absolutely FLATTENS Vasily Podkolzin. I love him, your honor.
-Yegor, to Vladdy, to Danforth, tic, tac, toe right behind Spencer Martin! We're back to within one! After the 2-0 goal, i was about to start losing my patience, but then i remembered we're playing a team that has had 3 multi-goal leads so far and blown all of them, so i held out hope.
-THE ZACK ATTACK IS ON! ZACH WERENSKI TIES US UP!! LET'S F*CKING GO!
-...Uh oh. Bo Horvat scores his second of the game right through Elvis's five-hole. 3-2. We have to get going again, and fast.
-JOHNATHAN ICE HOCKEY TIES THE GAME BACK UP AGAIN WITH THE SMOOTHEST WRAPAROUND I HAVE EVER SEEN. WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!!
-Voracek steals the puck from Hoglander, runs up the ice, passes to Chinny, who passes to Gavi on a 2-on-1 who BURIES IT behind Martin to end the game off on a high note! That's our first win of the season!
what a game!
