Game Notes
- 419 were in attendance
- I have always felt that the Spokane Braves goaltenders are underrated. Their GAA & Records are unfortunately not impressive, but their SV% typically rank in the top half of the league.
- The Braves only dressed 17 skaters.
- Tyson Brouwer started against Blake Norman
1st
If I broke the ice into thirds, I'd say that the largest amount of time was spent in the Braves end, next the neutral zone, than the Nitro's end. However, despite a very relentless PP and subsequent shift, the speedy Braves, were able to some how squeeze the puck past Brouwer from a very awkward angle. The Braves were up 1-0. The period was winding down, Marchi (who has had a knack for scoring lately) evened the game at 1, assists to Langelaar and Richter. Shots were 12-7.
2nd
The Braves engaged the Nitro's in a highly frantic pace of hockey. Both teams swapped chances. Spokane, a team that averages being on the PK six times in a game, got into penalty trouble. Marchi scored the first goal after a great pass. Kimberley went on the PP again, and this time Haase deflected the puck in. After off-setting penalties and then another PP chance for Kimberley, Hunt broke in, he faked going wrap around and then cut infront of the goalie, opening the five-hole and slid the puck in. Kimberley was up 4-1. Marchi couldn't wait 'til the third to finish his hattrick, so he netted this third of the game, giving the Dynamiters a 5-1 lead heading into the 2nd intermission. Shots were 18-7 Kimberley.
I tweeted that Marchi, after getting his second hattrick of the year, should be considered for the Dynamiters Player of the Month again (having just being named the October POM). I then heard someone standing read the tweet outloud, I wanted to go say "Hey! That's me" but I couldn't cause my son said it was too cold at the arena and wanted to go home. So if you're reading this, and you were the person who read it outloud while standing near the Zamboni doors, HI!
3rd
Doell just can't buy a goal, he had a short break away chance, went forehand to backhand, and just couldn't get it over the pad, or between the skate and post (proving my point that the Braves goalies are stellar, just they get peppered every night). Trevor van Steinburg added to the Nitro's lead as he took a pass from Haase that left him awkwardly on the forehand, which he then went backhand and roofed it, 6-1 Kimberley. At the midway point, the Braves were penalized for 2 and a 10, for playing the puck with a broken stick or without a helmet, or something that made him ineligible to be in the play (I learned that tonight), Kimberley was unsuccessful on the PP. Then in the final minutes of play, the Braves found the extra gear, and started frantically attacking. During that moment, while being aggressive on the defensive end, the Braves broke up an offensive attack that created a 2-on-1 and scored. It was 6-2. Shots this period were 17-10 Kimberley.
Dynamite Player of the Game
Jared Marchi - 3G 1A
Honorable Mentions
Jason Richter - 3A
Kenaan Haase - 1G 1A eventual GWG
Trevor van Steinburg - 1G, while all the PK players block shots, there was one were Trevor, despite seeing the wind up, still sacrificed the body. That Braves player seriously tried rifling the puck through Trevor.
