00:00Hi, everybody. Welcome back to EA Sports. Always a special night with the home opener, and these players are amped up.
00:17Great energy both inside and outside the arena tonight as we are just moments away now from Petra.
00:24The Sirens will look to be the offensive as they win the opening draw.
00:27From the left side into the middle of the neutral zone.
00:32Graves control without the point. What a play defensively to get in front of that one.
00:38Into the attacking area from the left side.
00:45Quick feed to Greco.
00:49He handles the feed.
00:51Herders opted to hang on to the puck for a faceoff.
00:57Lots of time left in this period.
01:00Still no score in this one.
01:04The Sirens win the defensive zone faceoff.
01:09Through the neutral zone and into the offensive end.
01:13Here's a shot denied by the goaltender.
01:17Handles the pass on the right side.
01:19And they win the defensive zone faceoff.
01:31And they win the defensive zone faceoff.
01:33And they win the defensive zone faceoff.
01:45She handles the pass.
01:49Into the offensive end, right up the middle.
01:51Puck is frozen and will get a faceoff.
01:54And they take possession here in the offensive zone in time to go on the attack.
02:09And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
02:13And Bechtel's won the faceoff and she'll put her team on the attack.
02:25Hey!
02:27Let's take possession of the face-off.
02:45The pressure's on the defensive side of the puck,
02:48but they win it clean, and they have an opportunity right away
02:50with the tired group that they're playing against.
02:54And the defenders come up with the puck.
02:57The sirens have it now.
03:00Looking for space inside the D zone.
03:03And that pass is redirected.
03:06Here's a shot.
03:07Oh, she got a piece of it to keep it out.
03:09She does a great job of controlling this puck
03:11and pushing it to the corner,
03:13and no second shot opportunities, great rebound control.
03:17Vancouver's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
03:21And now it's grabbed by Bourbonnet.
03:23Puck grabbed by Rose.
03:25Oh, she gets all of it.
03:28She stops.
03:30She picks up the loose change and puts it home.
03:40Well, this is an energy goal here, James.
03:42I love that it is the will that led to the skill.
03:45I mean, the battle that we could to win the loose puck
03:48and then to take it to the net and get the tally.
03:50And you can see the electricity on the bench after she scored that one.
03:53The sirens and their fans are buzzing right now.
04:07How about that quick strike just minutes into this one?
04:09Well, that quick strike gets them on their feet.
04:11And listen, when you're playing, you can feel that energy.
04:13You feed off it when your home crowd is cheering for you,
04:16especially when you're playing well.
04:17No better way than getting on the board first.
04:20Moves it to Jets.
04:22Across the line and on the attack.
04:25The sirens get a hold of the puck in their own end.
04:30Exploring options here inside the defensive zone.
04:32We got a whistle offside to call.
04:35Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.
04:43New York's ahead, 1-0.
04:46And off the bra, they win the faceoff.
04:49Vancouver's got the puck.
04:51Pushes it across to Jets.
04:54Marine's going to play against the half-wall.
04:59And loads one.
05:01And that shot goes nowhere as the lane was filled.
05:05Along the right side into the offensive zone.
05:10The sirens have it from their own end.
05:14Along the side, here they come through the neutral zone.
05:17Puck scooped up by Jets.
05:21You've got time!
05:23Venezuel has got it in the defensive end.
05:25You've got it!
05:26She takes the feed.
05:29Here's a shot!
05:30That's blocked!
05:32Taken along the wall by Filier.
05:33Takes a shot!
05:35Scoops up the puck in front of the net, trying to clear the zone.
05:39And a stick in the lane ends that threat.
05:44Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
05:47Quick pass to Kava.
05:50Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
05:54Passes it over!
05:55And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
06:04New York's gained possession along the boards.
06:07Working the puck deep inside their own end.
06:10Into the offensive end now.
06:13Picked up around the boards by Rose.
06:16Campbell's going to hang on for a whistle.
06:18The Sirens have been the better team in this first period.
06:31More scoring opportunities and as a result, more goals.
06:32Shot!
06:32And that ricochets off a twig in front.
06:35And a strong effort on that play.

07:41a lot of time training is spent on reactionary saves and reactionary eye training here and she
07:51finds this puck she tracks it quickly and is able to make that instinctual save moves the puck up to
07:57miller
08:00into the middle and she denies that opportunity
08:05slides it back to the blue line
08:07make it pretty low
08:09she brings new meaning there to holding down the four i mean she is locked in dialed in and doing
08:13whatever she can to keep the puck out of the net
08:17coming down oh my goodness she saved it wow i thought she was a fish out of water and there

10:23she was able to get onto that puck right away i mean a sense of urgency instincts a fetishism
10:29you name it all she had it but most important way to see the battle and the competes to stop that puck
10:45here in the late goings of the period we've got one nothing off the game this far

11:16moments away from the face off let's get back to the action
11:25new york's come up with possession up to that neutral zone draw
11:29oh and she tiptoes around the poke check and maintains possession
11:33goaltender hangs on for the whistle

12:49and find any way to stop them
12:52cutting to the front of the neck and the shot dies in the traffic jam
12:57new york's on the attack

13:16they always see james at the start of the period and the finish periods of critical times and they get one here
13:22they go to the destiny room with a lot of momentum
13:26she drops the butterfly as the default position really recognizing that she doesn't know where the park is
13:31so taking away as much net as possible here james you see goalies work on it all the time in practice
13:37unfortunately this one just beats her because she can't track it in time
13:40she's going to be ready to resume as everyone lines in for the big zone
13:48thick toes one possession
13:5820 minutes in the box let's grab a breather and we'll come back with period number two in months
14:10this one is your child of the heroes it is a fun family full of memories you can call us right now for details

15:01well hopefully everybody's refreshed after the intermission we are ready to go for period number two
15:23both teams seem to be recharged and play is underway here in period number two
15:27well so we got 20 minutes under our belts in this one how do you sum up the performance
15:32vancouver is trailing in this one and there's a reason why they're thinking offense only listen
15:37you got to get on your horse you got to find a way to to get back through the middle of the ice
15:40there's been zero back pressure in this game good use to the button did not come off the puck
15:50lots of hockey left to be played in this period
15:53new york's got some breathing room as they lead it to nothing
15:57and off the draw they win possession
16:00vancouver's got it now the sirens gain possession in their own end
16:07filliers crossed the line and came the zone
16:11big time stuck by kimball
16:13because she's defining the term ready poorly she gets right out of the top of her crease because that
16:17puck is in that low inner slot area and when you make yourself as big as possible there ain't no
16:22balls in the net vancouver's got possession of the puck
16:32delay penalty looming
16:37whistle blows stopping the flame
16:40and this is what's going on for interference
16:42this is going to be an interference call james and she steps in the way of her opponent and just
16:48impedes that forward movement and anytime you do that and the officials there you can make this call
17:00power play unit comes out for the fans
17:03getting their first power play opportunity in the game and here comes the top power play unit
17:08in the league they're so dangerous and effective it is extremely difficult to fend against them
17:15showing off her edge work there

17:19here's a chance
17:20being saved by the goaltender watching that one
17:25nice speed from the left side up the middle

17:36great play as she dodges the poke check
17:39oh and she avoids the poke check
17:41oh a stick and they can't catch
17:44big time stop there
17:46bambles made a great save there and it's not an easy one anytime the puck is in the interior of the slot area
17:51you know that they're close to the net it's going to be a difficult one to make but when you make yourself big
17:56you challenge it you can make the stop just like she did
17:59and now it's devourine
18:03here's a chance
18:05the sirens have it now oh and she tiptoes around the poke check and maintains possession
18:13and she gets just enough to keep it out
18:17here's a short pass to bard
18:18sends a pass over
18:24the sirens take possession in the defensive end
18:28beats it over on the attack
18:31vancouver's got a chance to work the transition game now shorthanded
18:36new york's got the puck and she shakes off a check
18:41vanasova standing up ready to go
18:43and she comes up with a quick answer there
18:46pamble's been peppered all game i mean just have a look at her save percentage james she's doing
18:50everything to give her team an opportunity it's about time they do something with it
18:54they need to retrieve the puck get some transition going and find a way to create some scoring chances
19:00that's what's going to do
19:05looks to set up at the point now

19:31along the half wall with the puck
19:32grabbed along the boards by filier
19:44moves it quickly over to roberts
19:47vancouver's got control of it now from their own end

20:01quick feed to channel
20:08there's applause
20:09beats the goalie the king beat the coast
20:13oh and she gets it cut off one-timer
20:16we'll get a face off after the puck stays covered up
20:22a fresh set of bodies here getting set for the face-off and let's see if they can build on that
20:26momentum sheriff oh yeah and they're gonna try and find a way to build on it because they know that
20:30the goaltender is extremely fatigued so they're going to continue their assertive play but if you're
20:35the defensive team you gotta find a way to get the puck down the ice and get her some rest
20:39it's going to get the puck down the ice and get the puck down the ice and get the
20:44traffic neutralizes that threat
20:48through the middle of it they'll stay over the attacking zone
20:52vancouver's regained possession of the puck
20:56gardeners getting the line and on the attack
20:59takes the shot and getting the denial by the goaltender
21:03the hurt repeat level is off the charts right now between the pipes i mean she's making save after
21:07save and getting her team in this game new york's message was clear coming into this one
21:12lots of shots on net and they lead here in the second the sirens take possession off the face-off
21:19simpsons picking up momentum through center great play as she dodges the book check
21:25long jamming front that's broken up and she was right there to make a save on that plane
21:31campbell's making saves and finding ways to put the puck to the corner and just cleaning up the trash and
21:36making sure there's no freaking shots
21:55past the midway mark of the frame the sirens are currently sitting in the driver's seat leading to
22:00two-nothing
22:04thick toes won the face off deep inside the offensive zone
22:07and a great scene blocked in front
22:11stopped by the goaltender
22:13what an incredible scene in her eyes were scanning here james she knew exactly where she had to get to
22:18because the threat was right in that close line area and she took it away
22:22well here we go a fresh set of offensive legs here for this base off and some tired defensive ones
22:28oh yeah i don't know how many times i've been in this position trying to give my goaltender the puck
22:33just so that they can cover to get the chance but it's easier said than done when you've got an
22:37offensive team that's chopping at the big scores and she's got number one on the season
22:44ah that feels good james she's been aiming around the net but she's able to convert and execute on that one
22:49and i expect that she'll just feel a little bit lighter these next few shifts
22:53absolutely love her nose for the net you've got to be willing to pay the price to get to the paint
22:59and recognize you've got to get it off quick quick snap of the wrist and it's in
23:02new york's got to be placed with the effort they've had tonight they just continue to pile up the
23:14blades they are buy-in and the coach will be impressed by this buy-in defensively and it creates
23:19offense because you're quick to get pucks and go north and this is exactly how you take care of your
23:24end zone how about the majority of shots in the offensive zone as well 200 foot game it's been complete today so far james
23:30it's up to the shooter to find the holes in the net here and james there was a hole it looked like she
23:52had it she was square to the shooter but it found its way into the back of the net she doesn't like it
24:00so
24:11vancouver's got one back now can they get themselves another they're going to be able
24:15to if they do one thing and that is attack and drive the coverage back and if you do that you
24:20find ways to get shots through to the net and we're going to get a face-off after the offside
24:30new york's message going into this one when we talked to them at the morning skate was to get
24:34a lot of pucks on net they've done just that and they lead as a result
24:40and they've got the puck after that neutral zone face off
24:44vancouver's looking to break out of their own end
24:48look at this they've got some bodies here on the attack
24:53vancouver's got the puck now
25:02big game the offense and someone from the middle
25:05puck picked up by gerrard and the goalie covers up for the whistle
25:13more than half the period has gone by hope you're enjoying this one vancouver's got
25:18to find a way to get a few more goals here as they still trail by a pair
25:22and that shot gets caught in traffic she says no way to that
25:28new york's gonna hold it along the wall circles back to center ice and that got caught up in traffic
25:39and it goes off the stick
25:40and there's the whistle as the puck stopper wants to hang on
25:47the center being right into position
25:53the sirens will start off on the attack
26:00picked up along the wall by philio that's a smart heads up defensive play by marine
26:06new york's got it in the neutral zone
26:09just a simple save by campbell takes the feed vancouver's got the puck in the defensive end
26:16that's a good hands up play at center ice
26:21passes it over
26:28the sirens look to start the transition game
26:34sends the pass over from the left side takes it at center
26:40new york's kind of along the wall nothing to him
26:44this is tough to take as an athlete you don't get these glorious chances often within a game and
26:48she had it she had it on her stick just rushed it panicked a little and sailed it wide
26:53moves it to gardner oh and she just gets enough to keep it out one way to help your d out and
27:00clear the net front steer the puck to the corner excellent rebound control showing off her edge work
27:06there quick pass to fullier here's a pass to the middle picked up in front
27:13the wall
27:16taking it along the wall by philio
27:21broken up with the stick in the defensive end and a great save
27:28she handles the feed
27:31new york's got it in their own zone
27:32and she takes off a check
27:38some solid defensive work in their own end with the poke check
27:41here's a short pass to daniel
27:43second for him almost done well inside a minute now
27:53dishes it off feeds it over
27:57takes the feet at the back end
27:59and that brings the period to an end all right third period
28:19just around the corner we'll get a clean sheet of ice i'm going to get more popcorn
28:23i'm coming back with much more next
28:36so
28:47so
28:49so
28:51so
28:57so
30:29Give the fans at home your take on what you've seen.
30:31Vancouver has put in a strong effort tonight, James, and there's 20 minutes left, so there
30:34is some runway to claw their way back into this game, especially when they've dominated
30:38possession time.
30:39Now, this can be frustrating at times when you feel like you're holding the puck and
30:42you're going nowhere, but at the end of the day, it's all about cashing in right now and
30:45what you can do in these last few shifts to make a difference.
30:48Scopes up the puck here.
30:51Slides it quickly to Boreen.
30:54New York's got the puck here in the open ice.
30:57Slides it across.
30:59Too much congestion blocks the shot.
31:02Here they come through center and into the offensive end.
31:05On the attack along the boards.
31:09And that slides right out to center ice.
31:13Picked up along the boards by Vanasova.
31:16Moves it quickly over to Miller.
31:18With possession along the wall.
31:21Picks off the pass.
31:23The Sirens have been playing great defensively.
31:26Their six are in the right position, but they need to make good on them.
31:28This game is off the close.
31:30And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
31:36Turner's been very effective tonight, James.
31:38As you look at the sequence of saves in great position, very technical.
31:42You know that's a product of working with her goaltender coach.
31:44And often during the season, you don't have a ton of time to work on it, but she has had
31:48that time lately, and it's paying off in dividends.
31:53We're still in the early stages of this period.
32:02New York's got a 3-1 lead as they have dominated for the most part in this.
32:07Quick feed to Rose.
32:10She handles the pass.
32:14Vancouver's got the puck.
32:16Passes it over.
32:17Great save by the goaltender to get a pat on that one.
32:21Keeping the puck out of the net.
32:24And now it's to Rose.
32:27Takes the feed of center and moves up ahead.
32:30Thompson's lugging the puck.
32:33Nurse has got it along the boards.
32:36Vancouver's got possession here in the neutral zone.
32:39Dishes it off.
32:41Now a kick pass to Bard.
32:44Cape to Cape feed on the blue line.
32:46Nice save from point blank range.
32:49I love how aggressive she is in the way she plays the shot from the inner slot.
32:53She makes herself as big as possible, intimidating the shooter.
32:55The Sirens lead this one early in the third period.
32:59They have been the more aggressive team offensively with the lead in the shot department.
33:03Vancouver's got it now.
33:08Nurse has got it in the offensive zone.
33:13Puck moved over to Gerrard.
33:16Passes it to Vespa.
33:17Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
33:23Nurse has got it against the boards.
33:25And the puck departs the zone.
33:28The Sirens have it against the wall.
33:31Fires it.
33:32And it's for them with an even better save.
33:35Vancouver's got a hold of the puck.
33:37Moves it to Cava.
33:38Quick pass to Jakes.
33:48She takes the feed.
33:52Feeds it over.
33:54Strong use of the body to force the puck loose.
33:59Moves close to the point.
34:04The home team is really under siege here in their own end.
34:07Oh, it stays out.
34:09Can you see?
34:11Stips up the puck along the wall.
34:13Oh, there's a run on the play.
34:18Puck picked up against the boards.
34:20Rock in front.
34:22And the team's got it here.
34:29Pucked away the center ice.
34:32My word, they've really got them hemmed in here in the right zone.
34:37Moves it around.
34:43This is to Daniel.
34:44Oh, it stays out.
34:46What a save on the play.
34:48They are really putting on their heat in the Ozone.
34:51And they stay out of the danger zone.
34:55The Sirens kick it along the wall.
34:58Vancouver's got a hold of the puck now.
35:01Looks to make a play over to Greco.
35:03And the puck clears the zone.
35:08They'll be forced to leave as well.
35:10Going on for Edgeworth there.
35:16Receives the pass.
35:18Takes the shot.
35:20And the lanes clunk up, blocking that.
35:22Oh, what a stop.
35:25New York's got possession of the puck.
35:26Here's a short pass to Nyland Pension.
35:31Vancouver's ready to go on the attack.
35:35Bell's got the puck from the back end.
35:38Great reach with the vote check.
35:40Right up the gut into the offensive end.
35:43Oh, she cuts loose.
35:44She's in on the own.
35:46And they'll cover it up, forcing a stoppage of play.
35:48New York's last save was incredible, James.
35:53I mean, she makes a high-grade A save there.
35:55And she is absolutely pivotal in her team's foundation right now,
35:59making that save absolutely electric in the crease.
36:08The Sirens have continued to put lots of pucks on net,
36:11and they lead it here in the third.
36:12She's got the puck, and they'll go on the attack.
36:22Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
36:25Sends it over to Manisoba.
36:27They go on the attack through center.
36:34Slides it across.
36:37Passes it over.
36:39Moves it quickly over to Rosenthal.
36:42Handles the puck.
36:45Here's a shot.
36:46And she denies, though, on the play.
36:50Hurches carrying it ahead.
36:53Takes a shot.
36:54Makes the club stop.
36:56She does a great job of manipulating her defender here
36:58with a great set of silky mitts
37:00and is able to change the angle of the shot.
37:02It doesn't go in, but she's got to like the look.
37:06Swing and a miss.
37:09New York's game possession and on the boards.
37:11Vancouver's looking to break out.
37:15Oh, look at this.
37:16Here they come.
37:17They've got numbers.
37:20Dishes it off.
37:22Quick feed to Nurse.
37:26Slides the puck over.
37:29Shot.
37:30Oh, that goes off one of her own teammates there in front.
37:34Cuts to the front.
37:36Can't connect on the shot.
37:37That's just textbook positioning to break up the play.
37:41New York's, look at this.
37:42She's on a breakaway.
37:44What?
37:45Scores.
37:46They've done one going off to their defender.
37:49Jordan, oh, boy.
37:54It really looked like she was just trying to clear the puck.
37:56I think she had a little more time than she thought,
37:58and she just wires it past her own tender.
38:00New York's offense continues to shine here in this third period.
38:18Well, this has got to be a dream for a coach.
38:20You know that they're telling their team in the intermission
38:21to make sure they stay to business, stay to task, stay focused.
38:25And that's exactly what they've done,
38:26and they just hammered their opponent.
38:28Passes right in front, and that chance is blocked.
38:32Scooped up along the wall by Thompson.
38:36Moves it to nurse.
38:40New York's got the puck.
38:43Vancouver's got a hold of it against the wall.
38:46Gaves it over.
38:48Quick pass to Miller.
38:50Oh, what a save in front.
38:54Moves the puck.
38:55Here's a shot.
38:58Shot to Brooklyn, and she comes up with the card save.
39:02Moves the pass in front, and that shot's blocked.
39:07They've really got him on their heels here now.
39:11Moving up in here in the offensive end.
39:13Passes it back to the line.
39:15Oh, a stop in front.
39:18They're picked up.
39:20Oh, another big save.
39:22Oh, and here's the whistle as her goal table will hang on for a much-needed stoppage.
39:29Villiers has been excellent in this game so far, and she finally cashes in.
39:33I mean, she's had multiple opportunities, grade-A scoring chances,
39:36but she didn't get frustrated here, James.
39:38She stuck with it.
39:39She stayed with the process.
39:41She got to the pockets on the ice to get another opportunity,
39:43and she finally connects.
39:45Face-off coming up here in the offensive zone.
39:52They've got to be ripe for the picking, you think?
39:54Well, they really are.
39:55I mean, look at the goaltender.
39:55She looks worn down and completely gassed, James.
39:58They've got to get the puck to the net.
40:01Vancouver's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
40:03Into the corner now.
40:08Slides and across.
40:12Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
40:15Nowhere for that.
40:16She stopped it.
40:17Oh, wow, what a save.
40:19Oh, that's a highlight reel, isn't it, James?
40:21I mean, I don't know.
40:22That's a highlight reel.
40:23Scores!
40:24And my, oh, my, how things have suddenly changed here.
40:29Well, it's the magic of one goal, and the impact it can have, James.
40:33And you go from a situation where you think you're out of it,
40:35and now all of a sudden you believe you're back in it.
40:38Complete change of the dynamic of the game.
40:41The goaltender has such a difficult time catching up to the puck
40:44once it changes direction,
40:45and she does a masterful job of getting her stick
40:48and redirecting that one.
40:49It's all about the fight for position,
40:51and she does a great job at it.
40:57Vancouver's clearly sending a message
40:59that they're not going to roll over in this one.
41:01For the two-goal deficit,
41:02they have to have desperation and urgency.
41:04They'll need two players on the puck at all times.
41:07Retrieval to possess the puck as necessary.
41:12Approaching the final minute of regulation.
41:19In the final moments of this period,
41:27and Peter's going down by two goals in this one.
41:31New York's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
41:34And now it's grabbed by Hershey.
41:37Comes up at the stop.
41:39Thompson's got it in the defensive end.
41:42Gets the puck over to Daniel.
41:43Goes the round along the half-long.
41:49Here's a short pass to Daniel.
41:53Takes the pass.
41:55Here's a chance, and that one's turned away.
41:59Turner's going to slow it down as she opts to hang on for the whistle.
42:02Wow, she's done a great job all night,
42:04but she has been under.
42:05See, she's a big reason why they have the lead right now.
42:08But she opts to hold on, slow the tempo down,
42:11and give her team an opportunity to reset.
42:15Trying to get back on the attack now.
42:18Moves it quickly over to Jake's.
42:20And that turns off a body in traffic.
42:23The sirens pick up steam and are on the attack.
42:29A backhouse here in the arena tonight.
42:32As the final seconds take away,
42:33they're on their feet saluting their team in a job well done.
42:39Big time stop.
42:41A chance.
42:43There's the final ball,
42:44and that'll do it here this evening.
42:46Well, from a little victory standpoint,
42:49they certainly were in this one,
42:50probably one of their best efforts in the last few games,
42:53but they've been close to no evidence.
42:55Yeah, they don't, James.
42:56And this is a really tough one to swallow for them.
42:58I mean, they played a great game right from the start.
43:01They found themselves getting into a deficit,
43:03that they weren't able to call back from.
43:05So this is a real tough one.
43:06They have to find a way to reset,
43:07and it's feeling pretty heavy right now.
43:09That'll do it for tonight's EA Sports broadcast.
43:12Hey, look, plenty of action just around the corner,
43:14and we hope to see you then.
43:15Good night.
43:33Good night.
43:45Good night.
43:45Good night.
