2019 EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMI FINAL
Series Preview: | Conference Finals start in Brentwood as New Jersey comes to town! |
Game #1: | This was a feeling out game to start. Scoreless 1st period. Both teams firing pucks on net though with NJ with 11 and BWB with 13.
Head to the 2nd. Draisaitl (2) draws first blood to give NJ the 1-0 lead. That is how the 2nd would end. Head into the 3rd… 1:42 into the period El Nino scores his 3rd of the playoffs to tie it 1-1. 3:26 Hornqvist (2) puts the Bandits ahead 2-1. 4:23 Kessel (2) makes it 3-1 Bandits. NJ on the PP at 15:51 pulls within one making it 3-2… But try as they might with Kincaid pulled, it ends with a Bandits win 3-2. Game 1 goes to the good guys. Game 2 coming up! |
Game #2: | NJ comes out firing! Kase (5) makes it 1-0 before Brentwood can even get a shot on goal!
21 seconds later Kerfoot (5) ties it 1-1. At 5:17 Niederreiter (4) puts one past Kincaid making it 2-1 Bandits. 6:35 Kessel (3) tickles the twine to make it 3-1 Bandits. Scott Hartnell (1) pulls the Grizzlies within one making it 3-2 Bandits. That’s how the period would end. 2nd Period… Arvidsson (6) ties it 3-3. Bandits go on another run… Hornqvist (3) – Kincaid pulled for Holtby – , Niederreiter (5), and Krug (1) make it 6-3 Bandits in short order. With 17 seconds left in the 2nd Pulock (1) stops the bleeding and makes it 6-4 Bandits. The 3rd was ALL Bandits as they score another 4 unanswered goals with Horvat (3), Krug 2 (2), Kessel 2 (4), and Kessel 3 (5) again for the Hat Trick! Your final is a lopsided 10-4 Bandit win. The Bandits make a statement winning handily 10-4. Interesting to see how NJ responds at home down 2-0! |
Game #3: | The series shifts to New Jersey with Brentwood up 2-0. Let’s see if Jersey’s amazing home cooking can continue. 1st Period Brentwood really puts the pressure on to the tune of 18 SOG in the 1st. Getting two behind Kinkaid with Lindholm (3) and Hornqvist (4) finding the back of the net, but Johansen (2) scores on a breakaway to end the period 2-1 Bandits. 2nd Period This period saw Jersey get the edge in shots 13-7, but Brentwood getting another goal, this time from Maatta (2) to make it 3-1 Bandits. 3rd Period Hornqvist (5) gets his 2nd of the game to make it 4-1 Bandits. A little over a minute later Konecny (5) makes it a game pulling NJ within 2 as it’s now 4-2 Brentwood. Kessel posts his 6th of the playoffs to get the 3-Goal lead back, 5-2 Bandits. Time ticking down. Pulling Kinkaid allows Debrusk (2) to pull Jersey within 2, but that’s how it would end.5-3 Bandits win and take a very commanding 3-0 lead in the series. |
Game #4: | Jersey being down 3-0, will they at least be able to stave off elimination, and play “one game at a time” to avoid getting swept? Let’s find out…
1st Period SCORES!!! That is the game and the series!!! Bandits win!! Sweeping the near impossible to beat on home ice New Jersey Grizzlies to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals to face the California Regulators!! |
