The final was NJ 6-1 Darcy Kuemper gets his first win of season.

Minneapolis arrives in Chicago and much to their surprise the local mafia has kidnapped the Cosa Nostra coaching staff.

Chicago gets off to a good start playing for their missing coaches. Barely 1 minute into the game, Krug set up Copp (9) in front of the net and Chicago was off to an early 1-0 lead. Minneapolis eventually remembered how to get the puck out of their own end, and managed to tie it up with 12:40 left in the first when Datsyuk fed Eriksson (25) for a
hard slap shot from the point that beat Condon on the glove side. The first period would end with the score still tied at 1 and 57 seconds remaining on a powerplay for Chicago.

Minneapolis killed off the rest of that powerplay and then another after Hoffman took 2 minutes for roughing, but Chicago would still strike next. Richards was bumped off the puck while carrying it out of the Deep Freeze zone, creating a 2-1 coming back at Lundqvist. Knonwall got the puck over to Baertschi (8) who put it on the top shelf where mom hides the cookies. Two minutes later with Boyle in the box for holding, Chicago would make it 3-1 with a powerplay goal from Duclair (16). With under 1 minute left in the second period and Minneapolis just wanting to get into the locker room to regroup, Pastrnak (3) got around Bartkowski and extended the Cosa Nostra lead to 4-1.

Minneapolis coach Larry Murphy rips into his team during the intermission for their sloppy defensive play. Four minutes into the third period, the Deep Freeze cut the lead to 2 when Boyle carried the puck all the way up the ice and gave it to Pesce (3) who beat Condon to get Lundqvist the rare goaltender assist. Minneapolis would strike again on their next shot only 52 seconds later when Hoffman (15) got loose in front and beat Condon high on the glove side with 15:07 remaining. Through 15 minutes, a powerplay, and some 4-on-4 time, Minneapolis has mounted 19 shots in the 3rd period but still trails by one. They will get 1 final chance to even the score as Gudas takes a penalty for
cross-checking to put Chicago down a man with 1:54 left to play. Minneapolis pulls Lundqvist with about 1 minute left but just can’t get the goal that they needed and Chicago holds on to with 4-3 in a Central division upset. Condon earns a much deserved 1st star with his 45 saves to steal the win.

Minneapolis thought they caught a break early in this one when Indiana’s Weber took a 5 minute major for elbowing, but it was Indiana who would get a shorthanded goal from Bergeron (13). Despite 9 shots on the powerplay, Minneapolis gets nothing to show for it and Indiana strikes again. Read (1) gets his first goal of the year and Indiana leads 2-0 with 12:38 left in the opening period. Indiana would hold onto their lead and go into the first intermission leading 2-0.

The second period gets off to an exciting start as McQuaid and Markov each take 2 minutes for roughing each other up. Minneapolis dominates the play during the 4-on-4 but still comes up with nothing. Pominville (2) would finally get Minneapolis on the board 4 minutes into the period with a one-timer from the slot set up by Huberdeau. One minute later, the Deep Freeze tie the game when Luongo gives up a juicy rebound and Schenn (11) bangs it home. The tie would not last long though, as Jagr (18) gets a rebound of his own and beats Lundqvist to make it 3-2 with  11:42 left in the second. With 2 minutes to go in the period Luongo makes a big save on a shot from Schenn, but gives up another rebound and Sharp (12) made him pay for it again to tie the game at 3. Once again Indiana answered quickly, with Jagr (19) getting his second of the game
with 42 seconds left in the period. Coach Larry Murphy is upset with Lundqvist’s performance in the past 2 games (4 goals on 31 shots against Chicago and 4 goals on 23 shots so far tonight) and decides to make a change, bringing in Michal Neuvirth to finish the game.

Minneapolis continues to keep the game interesting, as Datsyuk (8) ties it at 4 just over a minute into the third period. About 5 minutes into the period, Boyle (8) blasts a shot from the point that beats Luongo to give Minneapolis their first lead of the game. Minneapolis catches a lucky break and is able to extend the lead to 2 when Sharp knocked
Bergeron off the puck and Schmidt (4) carried it in alone from the red line and beat Luongo on the rare breakaway for the defenseman. Minneapolis leads 6-4 with 6:50 remaining. Three minutes later, the Deep Freeze would strike again as Datsyuk (9) beautifully redirected Boyle’s shot for his 2nd of the game to make it 7-4. Seidenberg would take a late penalty for Minneapolis but Indiana was unable to capitalize and Minneapolis holds on to win 7-4 courtesy of 4 goals in the third period.

The hockey gods must have been displeased with Thunder Bay – the Nor’Westers dominated the opening period, outshooting Indiana 8-4 and out-chancing them 4-1..but thanks to two deflections and one leaky goal, three of the Sycamores’ first 4 shots slammed home. An early second-period goal by Toews appeared to put the rout on – but TB stormed back with 2 in the period to make it 4-3 after two.

Thunder Bay pressured, but backup Reto Berra stood tall, and finally Willie Mitchell, of all people (I told you the hockey gods were in a mood) sealed the deal for the Sycamores.

#1 star: Toews, 2G
#2 Barkov 1+2 each for TB

#3: Eberle 1+2 each for TB

Mason was shaky for the Nor’Westerners, with only 15 saves on 20 shots.

Really, TB outplayed Indiana and new bench boss ‘Badger Bob’ Johnson was relieved to get out of there with 2 points.

Seeking to keep Bobby Lu and Berra eligible down the stretch, the Sycamores turned to 3rd-stringer Eddie Lack on the road against the struggling Casa Nostra. In the end, he was brilliant, stopping 25 of 26 shots for Indiana.

CHI took the lead late in the second, but Indy’s Raffl quickly tied it in the 3rd. It looked like we were headed to OT – where the Sycamores go to doe (league leading 9 extra-time losses) – when Bergeron saves the day! His goal at 17:06 is the difference as the Sycamores hang on for a much-needed 2-1 win.

#1 star: Raffl
#2 star: Bergeron
#3 Lack (25 sv)

Honestly, a pretty boring game but we’ll take the W!

Remember what I said earlier about the hockey gods? Well, I think they had seen enough of Indy getting the bounces…

Indy outshot the Grizzlies 27-12 through 2 periods, out chanced them 13-6, won 60% of the faceoffs, had their top goalie in net..and found themselves down 4-0 after two. The worst was at the end of the 2nd, when the Sycamores took three consecutive penalties – which, inevitably, led to a 5-on-3 goal that put it away for NJ.

Indy tacked on a couple of meaningless goals late, but this game was over in the second.

Kinkaid was spectacular in net for NJ, with 38 saves on 40 shots.

#1 star: Ryan (2G)
#2: Weber (1+2)
#3: Kinkaid

Period 2 – Neiderreiter opens things up on the PP with #11 on the season assisted by Crosby (34) and Malkin (35). 1-0 Brentwood

Marleau makes it 2-0 with his 15th of the campaign assisted by Hainsey (12) and Vatrano (3)

Malkin gives the Bandits a 3 goal lead with his 22nd of the season assisted by Coburn (5) and Crosby (35). 3-0 Bandits.

Johansson gets the first goal for Scottsdale on the evening with his 4th assisted by Greene (6) and Cogliano (9)

Marleau nets #16 on the PP assisted by Liles (18) and Bieksa (12) to give Brentwood a solid 4-1 lead

Period 3
Fleischmann scores his 5th on the season unassisted by snagging a cross ice pass and barreling down on Markstrom and roofing the puck on a breakaway. 5-2 Brentwood leads.

Colborne keeps it close by getting his 15th of the season assisted by Stepan (22) and Josi (24). 5-3 Brentwood

That score would hold up and Brentwood wins it’s second game in a row in impressive fashion because they were out-shot 34-23 by Scottsdale, but they had Markstrom’s number and Montoya made the saves he had to make (31 of them) to give Brentwood the victory.
