05:35he's now coming up
05:36and we're gonna get a stoppage in play
05:57it's the first penalty kill of the night for this team and they won't let that knock their confidence
06:01we know their penalty kill unit is ranked toward the bottom of the league
06:05it's something they've been actively working on to improve
06:08so let's see if any of their improvements show up tonight
06:10from the slot block
06:13and that's why she kills penalties
06:15yeah it's not just about working hard it's about anticipating
06:17so you gotta be smart to be able to get to those lanes quickly
06:20oh what a stop on the player she gets all of it with the paddle
06:24and they manage to clear it
06:26the big player have possession along the boards
06:30and tries to make a diagonal pass to Poulain
06:37just a simple save by Campbell
06:39and they get the puck out
06:41Montreal's looking to break out at their own end
06:45moves the puck across to Craig
06:47and she shakes off a check
06:49here's a shot
06:52denied by Campbell
06:54great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner
06:58getting it out of danger
06:59Montreal's got the puck behind the net
07:03and she's knocked off the puck there
07:07Craig's got it in the defensive end
07:09shot
07:12and not much on that one
07:15in front of the net
07:16and the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play
07:22Miller's ready for the try
07:23as they continue to be short handed here
07:28Vancouver's got it in the defensive zone
07:31here's a chance to get it out of their own end
07:34pass it through
07:35and a new pass
07:36and she denies that opportunity
07:44one block's ready to take the try here on this power play
07:51and they'll start the possession
07:53that's good by Campbell
07:56nice speed from the goaltender
08:03this power play only has time for one more rush
08:05one more rush
08:06they'll have to play with urgency
08:07and not just skate the puck
08:08but move it fast
08:11venezuela's almost ready to get back on the ice
08:14denies on the puck stopper
08:19passes ahead from the right side
08:22takes the puck at the point
08:27here's a beat in front
08:28there's always the question why before a goal is scored
08:41so let's go back and just have a look at the way they defended in their own zone here
08:45yes they gave up a high danger opportunity
08:47but in transition they were able to capitalize when they got going north
08:50and they were able to get a good chance on net
08:52Vancouver's no longer chasing the game after that goal Cheryl
08:53yeah and it's tough right when you're behind the eight ball right away and it can be difficult to be assertive or get your legs when that happens but it feels like they found the rhythm here halfway through the period one shift can change the landscape and it looks like it has
09:08and not much on that one
09:22close increase
09:24big stop by the keeper
09:26I love how aggressive she is and the way she plays this shot from the inner slot
09:29she makes herself as big as possible intimidating the shooter
09:32past the midway mark in this period
09:34you can feel the energy in this crowd it's a tie game
09:39and they win the offensive zone face off and here we go
09:44oh what a save on her part that thing was sizzling
09:48takes the feed at center and moves up ahead
09:52here's a pass to the middle
09:54and it turns off a twig in front of the net
09:57slides it over to Stacy
10:00showing off her edge work there
10:01shot
10:05a timely finish and they've taken the lead
10:08sometimes you can feel the momentum swing James and you can tell that they're playing with more confidence and as a result they get a little puck puck and they put it in
10:16she is so strong and powerful when she gets to position James she is so difficult to knock off that puck she knows how to shield she knows how to get low and she's got incredible edges and people don't often look at this because she's got such incredible value and she's got incredible edge
10:28people don't often look at this because she's got such incredible balance but all of it put together she is so tough in this area
10:35the big quad have gone up by one here in the back half of the first
10:44and I really love their puck possession and its movement James they're moving it around the perimeter but when they get the lane to the net they're putting it on net so that attack and shock mentality is really paying off
10:53Vancouver's regained possession with the puck and now it's over to Drake
11:00she's been buzzing all night long and you know with two goals she's looking for the Hattie now
11:04Campbell's gonna give everyone a chance to breathe and hang on to the puck
11:11Montreal's got the lead here in the first as they have been the more dominant team in the offensive area
11:15and they win the offensive zone face off now let's see if they can capitalize
11:21Vancouver's gained possession along the boards
11:26and a stick and a low end ends up to him
11:29makes the move across
11:31big save by the goaltender watching that one
11:34this is a fantastic save James from that area in the slot
11:37such a dangerous position for the shooter to be in
11:39and man she just takes it away tracks it perfectly
11:43slides it across
11:46moves it around along the half wall
11:48here's the beat
11:50here's a chance
11:52oh she kept it out with the bat
11:54that was changing directions
11:56well the ABC's of goaltending is all about balance and positioning and she's showing it off right there
12:01as she gets square to the shooter in the slot and makes the save
12:04here's a chance
12:05here's a chance
12:07denied by Campbell
12:09she does a great job of controlling this puck and pushing it to the corner
12:12and no second shot opportunities great rebound control
12:15broken up with the stick in the defensive end
12:18moves it quickly over to Bard
12:21quick shot
12:23and that goes off a player
12:25Vancouver's got the puck here on the open ice
12:28the victoire have gained possession
12:31look at this and got some bodies here on the top
12:33gets a glove on it to make the stop
12:37a lot of time training is spent on reactionary saves and reactionary high training here and she finds this puck she tracks it quickly and is able to make that instinctual save
12:47late goings of this period
12:50it's 2-1
12:51Rosenthal
12:54Rosenthal's won the faceoff here in the defensive zone
12:56through the neutral zone and into the offensive end
13:00quick pass to Greffel
13:03slides the puck over
13:05comes up with the stop
13:07look at her go
13:10Vancouver's got the puck now
13:12looks to pass it to Rosenthal
13:13back to Rosenthal
13:15and now it's to Vanasova
13:17take a shot
13:20takes a shot
13:22that's blocked
13:23taken by Boullier
13:25great reach with the Pochette
13:27slides it back to the blue line
13:29pushes it over
13:31dishes it off
13:33under pressure and she's going to cover up the puck to get a whistle
13:35well she does a great job of holding on to that
13:38so now they can have a faceoff James
13:40they can get rested players out there
13:42I mean they have been under siege in their own zone
13:48and they win the draw now let's see what they can do with it
13:51here's the shot
13:53oh she keeps that one all the way
13:55lots to set up at the corner now
13:57picked off by Lovie
13:59and she shakes out the jack
14:01here she goes
14:03oh she puts it away
14:05but yeah and it's a calculated risk on a breakaway right
14:08when you're going to take yourself out of your net to Pochette
14:12but I love that she had the confidence to do it here James
14:15and do the spacing lead perfectly to be able to execute it
14:19goaltender covers it up
14:21we get a whistle to slow things down
14:25Montreal's execution has been on point so far here in this first period
14:32Vancouver's won it now they'll go on the attack
14:36final minute approaching here in this open frame
14:42oh what a save in the one-timer
14:45Millers on the attack of the offensive goal
14:48oh and she makes the save on the one-timer
14:52what
14:54answers Nicole what a big save
14:55and we'll get a reset after the puck goes up and out of play
14:59big opportunity here with this face off
15:02yeah I'm not sure how much more the goaltender can take
15:05as she's with a ton of pressure right now
15:07they gotta get net front and they gotta get pucks to net
15:10Vancouver's gonna hold it up along the way up
15:13keeps it over
15:15takes the feed
15:16well the play might come to an end for a few minutes at the end of this period
15:29but the coaching never stops I'm sure there'll be a few messages and a few words
15:33and we'll be back with period number two in no time

16:29this episode is our session
16:32as we have been in half time
18:33Put your twos up because the second period's about to go down.
18:42Well, let's see if we can get some fireworks going here as period number two is underway.
18:46We've played period here, Cheryl, and we've had an intermission to collect our thoughts.
18:51What do you make of what we've seen?
18:53Vancouver's had the puck a ton in that opening frame, James.
18:55That's exactly what you wanted for the coach.
18:58You want to manage the puck.
18:59You want to own it in the offensive zone.
19:00They did just that.
19:01They just weren't able to convert.
19:03They find themselves trailing 5-1.
19:05If they can trust the process, they'll find their way back into this game.
19:12Guys, this peak of the unit successfully killed off a penalty so far tonight.
19:17We know they're right toward the bottom of the week.
19:19But if they can bargain a little bit of execution from that earlier, maybe they can shut it down again right here.
19:23And a great seed!
19:26Deep inside the defensive zone, trying to clear the puck.
19:30Play is called for offside.
19:37Miller's gliding in for the faceoff as this penalty kill will continue.
19:43And they take control of the puck here in the neutral zone.
19:49Montreal's got the puck.
19:50From their own end, trying to kick-start this power play.
19:57Oh, look at the pass!
20:01Vancouver's looking to break out.
20:04More time off the clock as they grab the puck.
20:08And tries to make a diagonal pass to Miller.
20:12The victoire have gained control of the puck along the wall.
20:16Seize it over to Craig.
20:19Oh, wow!
20:20Oh, she gets all of that one!
20:22What a stop there!
20:30Rosenthal's recognizing they're still shorthanded here as they get ready for the faceoff.
20:37Vancouver's going to start with the puck in their own end.
20:39And the goaltender's going to play it out of the crease.
20:49Vancouver's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
20:54Here's a short pass to Greco.
20:57Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
21:00Quick feed to Greco.
21:01The victoire have taken control of the puck.
21:07Slides it across to Scamora.
21:10Swing and a miss!
21:14Into the offensive end now.
21:17McQuigg's almost back on the ice.
21:21Montreal's going to play the puck from behind the cage.
21:23Power play has expired.
21:25Do you get the nod to go out there on the power play and make a difference and you don't?
21:30It's frustrating and it's a real momentum killer.
21:32Still plenty of time left in this frame.
21:41Montreal's got a slim lead.
21:42They lead it 2-1.
21:47The Frozen Biscuits drop and we are back in the way here.
21:52Vancouver's got a hole to the puck.
21:55Intercepts it in the neutral zone.
21:57Montreal's been disrupting play all night long and this is because of their stick position.
22:01You have to find ways to be aware and anticipate where that puck is going to be going.
22:06You're doing a great job but this is still a close one.
22:08We've got to find a way to generate some offense.
22:11The one-time blast!
22:13And that ricochets off a twig in front.
22:17Montreal's across the blue line.
22:20Shot!
22:20Oh, there's a great stop by Campbell.
22:28Montreal's got the lead on the scoreboard.
22:30The big reason for that has been the amount of pucks that they've been putting on net.
22:36Coulin's got the puck and they'll go on the attack.
22:39Snooks by the D.
22:41Here's the howitzer at the net.
22:43Breaks up the play by getting in front of it.
22:48The goalie's best friend comes up big again as it goes off the outside of the frame.
22:53Setter's gliding to the dot as a face-off ready to resume play.
23:05Montreal's won the draw.
23:09Works it across to D'Arcangelo.
23:11Gets the puck in deep.
23:17Vancouver's got the puck along the boards.
23:20Moves it to Thompson.
23:22Sends the pass over.
23:25They try to maintain possession inside the defensive zone.
23:31Moves it quickly over to Nurse.
23:32And that slides right out to Setter Rice.
23:36Feeds the puck to Bard.
23:40Nice feed from the right wing.
23:45Tucks into the place.
23:46The lane was plugged up in that shot's blocked.
23:49Big time stop there.
23:51Gets it up.
23:52Oh, it's a nice little game.
23:54She makes two incredible saves.
23:57And she's dialing and showing red criticism on those two spots.
24:02Vancouver's got the puck in the defensive end.
24:06Receives the pass.
24:10Dubois gaining momentum.
24:12Right side set up ahead into the middle of the ice.
24:15Slides it across.
24:17And that shot goes nowhere as the lane was filled.
24:21Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
24:23And now it's grabbed by Jakes.
24:27Takes the pass.
24:32From one end of the blue line to the other.
24:37Passes it over.
24:39Quick pass to Greco.
24:41Stopped by the goaltender.
24:43The big draw have gained possession off the wall.
24:47Puck grabbed by Dubois.
24:48Vancouver's got control of it now from their own end.
24:56And tries to make a diagonal pass to Rosenthal.
25:00Stakes to the trace.
25:02And there's not much.
25:03Scores.
25:05And that one going off the defender for an old goal.
25:09You typically only have to worry about your opponent when you're playing goal.
25:21Not in this case.
25:22As she tries to clear the puck and just rifles it past her own tender.
25:25Still lots of time left here in this frame.
25:42It's all tied up.
25:45Montreal's got a hold of the puck off the draw.
25:47Moves it on over to Poulain.
25:51And makes the routine save.
25:54Campbell's able to control that rebound, James.
25:57I mean, that is so important.
25:58I'm a former defender.
25:59And let me tell you, when you're able to put that puck to safety, you make everyone's job easier.
26:05Picked up along the wall by Beck.
26:08Here's the save.
26:10Scores!
26:10And with that strike, they've gone in front.
26:14Well, I really like their game tonight.
26:16I mean, you always have to manage the ebbs and flows.
26:18But when you grind away and you continue to trust the process, you get opportunity.
26:22And they converted on it.
26:25Absolutely love this play, James.
26:26Not only is she fighting for the middle of the ice, but the eyes are on the prize.
26:29You have to anticipate where that puck is going to be and get there first.
26:33That's exactly what she does.
26:34And she buries it.
26:40Vancouver's gone up by one here in the second period.
26:51It's been a lot of hard work and heavy lifting to get to this point.
26:54Just to get that one goal lead, James.
26:56Not only do they want to hold on to it, they want to extend it now.
27:00Here's a short pass to Boreen.
27:02Montreal's got control of the puck.
27:05Hard on the line as she gets in front of that one.
27:07Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
27:14Gaining momentum along the way.
27:16Now a quick pass to Rosenthal.
27:19Takes the feet at the back end.
27:21Off a stick.
27:23Puck scooped up by Stacey.
27:26Contracts with possession back inside the defensive zone.
27:30Passes the puck over to Taven.
27:32Takes the shot.
27:33That goes off the blocker.
27:35What a save by Campbell.
27:36Takes it across the blue line.
27:45Grabbed along the board by Taven.
27:47Oh, she kept it out.
27:48Oh, my goodness.
27:49She stuck.
27:50What do you mean it's not in the back of the net?
27:53Everyone had it.
27:53It was in.
27:54I mean, I don't even know how she got to it, James.
27:56That's unbelievable.
27:57Play of the night.
27:59The game makes a sweet save on an excellent scoring chance.
28:03I mean, she's dialed in.
28:04She gets to the puck, and she clears it.
28:08Along the half wall with the puck.
28:10Huge stop by Campbell.
28:12James, these are the types of saves that can be game-changing and switch and alter the momentum.
28:16But her team needs to do a better job of shoring up that slot area.
28:20Those point-blank saves are tough to come by.
28:22Montreal's got it in their own zone.
28:26Takes it up center.
28:29Tries it right to the front.
28:31And she gets just enough to keep it out.
28:34Campbell's faced a ton of shots tonight, and not just easy ones on the perimeter.
28:38I mean, she's facing high-dangerous shots, and she's making those saves, giving the team an opportunity to win.
28:43They're going to have to find a way to clean it up, in particular, the middle of the ice, and give themselves a chance.
28:48Check it out of the wall.
28:49I'm going to take it to the country.
28:51Campbell's going to hang on to the puck for a whistle.
28:57But the puck doesn't go in at either end of the ice here, but both teams are trading grade-A chances right now.
29:02There is a ton of pace and volume of shots to this game right now.
29:06Montreal's had the shots tonight, but they cannot find that finish here late in the second period.
29:23One-blank's won the draw, now look to set up.
29:27Oh, the officials were all over that trip.
29:29Here comes the call.
29:31Nurse is going off to the box for two minutes.
29:33Well, it's kind of hard to protect a one-goal lead when you're sitting in the box and your team's shorthanded, James.
29:39The PK units are going to have to find a way to stave off the power play here and get the job done.
29:50Power play unit going back to work.
29:53James' opportunity is a real gift for the power play, and it's a reason why his personnel have been put on it.
29:58They have the specialty set of skills to be able to take it to the net,
30:02and it all starts with the face-off.
30:06The Victoire have the puck against the boards.
30:09Slides it on over to Taven.
30:11Some great fevery in the open ice.
30:14Move it, move it!
30:19Power hits center down to the ice and frees the puck.
30:23Tries to get this man advantage going from their own end now.
30:26Look at this, she's on the breakaway.
30:28Dishes it off.
30:30Ocean makes the seed of the breakaway.
30:32Well, she does a real nice job of knowing exactly where the shooter is here, James.
30:37She's not deep in her net.
30:38She's not along the goal line.
30:40She really challenges and contests the space between the crease.
30:45Right up the gut into the offensive end.
30:48Fowers it off it.
30:50There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
30:52Kava's side still shorthanded here as they slide in for the face-off.
31:04Back underway and they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
31:07And she had the answer on that attempt.
31:12Mucks the shot attempt.
31:13From the slot, fires away.
31:16And a great seed.
31:18And there's a shot.
31:20Turning that one aside.
31:22The ball's really got him on their heels here now.
31:25Over to the box to Poulain.
31:26This is it to Poulain.
31:37Here, here.
31:38Showing off her edge work there.
31:40Right there.
31:41Big time defensive play.
31:44Bards lugging the puck.
31:45Stooped up along the wall by DiGiolano.
31:53Both teams back and even strides with the one-goal lead.
31:57Still there.
31:58The next shift is critical, James.
32:00They had the opportunity on the power play to get back in it and get the equalizer.
32:04Now they're down by one.
32:05So they have to manage some energy here.
32:08And they have to dictate pace and get back in the game.
32:14Pass back to the point.
32:15Stacey's got it in the defensive end.
32:22Slides it diagonally to Poulain.
32:25Nearing the 40-minute mark of the game.
32:30A little bouncing forward.
32:33Oh, and she tiptoes around the poke check and maintains possession.
32:37Made the stop on the play.
32:40Scoops up the puck here.
32:41Quick feed to Miller.
32:47Montreal's got possession here in the neutral zone.
32:50Stopped by the goaltender.
32:52Campbell's making scenes and finding ways to put the puck to the corner and just pulling up the trash and making sure there's no second shots.
32:5940 minutes to play in the books.
33:04Both teams will get one last chance to catch their breath.
33:08And then it's on to period number three next.
33:10Don't forget to check out our top ten bullets in hockey history.
33:14You can find it on the website for both our community or fans.
33:18You can find a lot right.
33:19And then it's on to period number three next.
33:20You can find a lot moreあっちゃん in hockey history.
33:20But firstly, the lowest run assist field card is caught by the towel in hockey history.
33:29But then it'll do our next
33:46moans to be here.
37:17And gave themselves an odd man advantage here, James.
37:19And what they did was they capitalized.
37:21They had multiple looks.
37:22They could pass it.
37:23They could shoot it.
37:24Goaltender couldn't figure it out.
37:25And it winds up in the back of the net.
37:26We're still in the early stages of this period.
37:38We're still in the early stages of this period.
37:38We've got a tie game.
37:40Montreal's come up with possession after that neutral zone draw.
37:49Montreal's got it from behind the net.
37:52Montreal's got it from behind the net.
37:52Montreal's got it from behind the net.
37:54Montreal's got it from behind the net.
37:55Montreal's got it from behind the net.
38:02And here they come on the attack.
38:04Shots the puck away.
38:06Vancouver's got the puck.
38:08Here's an odd man rush.
38:10Passes out front.
38:12Moves it over to Nurse.
38:20Picked up by McQueen.
38:22Looking to make something happen along the boards.
38:25Slides into Dubois.
38:27Look at her go.
38:29Here's a chance.
38:31Picked up along the boards by Stacey.
38:34Big time save as she gives that one a little paddling.
38:37Stacey's been outstanding tonight, playing with a ton of confidence.
38:44And everything she puts towards the net is going in.
38:47She's got hat-trick in this one.
38:48And when you look at the coach, I mean, certainly they've got to be happy.
38:52The entire staff with the deployment of this bench.
38:54There's chemistry.
38:55There's finish.
38:56There's passing.
38:57They got it all right now.
39:07Still a lot of time left in the period as we approach the midway mark.
39:13We are all tied up in this one.
39:17Vancouver's got the win off that draw.
39:23Puts it on now.
39:24And the puck dies with the trapper save.
39:27Oh, and they go down for the offense.
39:29Oh, how did she keep that on?
39:31Wow, what a stop.
39:33I thought that was in, James.
39:34I mean, I didn't even think she had a chance of getting to that puck.
39:36But talk about athleticism to make that save.
39:39Incredible.
39:40Well, she's the last line of defense here.
39:42I'm not sure where her D are, James.
39:44But she turns aside a real dangerous opportunity.
39:47And she blocks it.
39:53Puts it over.
39:54Moves it to Rosenthal.
39:57Looks to set up along the point.
40:00And a puck check knocks the puck away.
40:04Fourier's picking up steam.
40:05Looks to get the puck over to Lumblom.
40:11Vancouver's got it behind the net.
40:14Angles it over to Benisoba.
40:17Great heads up play in the neutral zone by Lumblom.
40:20And that's a great heads up play by Boreen.
40:23And it's a quick pass to Jakes.
40:27Back to the point.
40:28They set it up.
40:29The victor of the puck on their own end.
40:31Murphy's got it along the wing.
40:36Nice puck check.
40:39Taken by Gardner.
40:41Campbell's able to make an incredible save after she's under attack, James.
40:45I mean, getting uncomfortable in the crease.
40:47Being athletic.
40:48Finding a way to make a desperation save.
40:50This gives her team a lifeline as they head north.
40:52Tries to feed it over to Rope.
40:56Odd man rush.
40:58Sends him over.
40:59Misses wide of the net.
41:01You can go games without getting to the slot.
41:04She gets a great chance here on net.
41:07And misses.
41:07The tender doesn't even have to make a save.
41:09Montreal's got the puck.
41:15Tries to make that cross-ice beam.
41:18Gotta love these moments within a game, James.
41:21It's tight.
41:21The game really hasn't opened up.
41:23You gotta play free, but you have to play responsible as well.
41:27Sends a pass over.
41:29Moves the pass in front.
41:31And she denies that opportunity.
41:32Oh, I just love that last save, James.
41:40Because it's the compete, the will that it takes to find that shot.
41:44And you know what?
41:44Goaltending coaches, all they want you to do is be in the right positions.
41:47You're always working on the ABCs of goaltending.
41:50But I'll tell you what.
41:50This is instincts.
41:51And instincts make saves when you need to be desperate.
42:02More than half the frame has been played here.
42:05The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
42:13Montreal's won the defensive zone draw.
42:16Moves it quickly over to Dubois.
42:19Vancouver's got a hold of it along the wall.
42:23Sends it across the ice.
42:26Strong feed from along the boards.
42:28And that turns off a body in traffic.
42:30Can't connect as it throws out the stick.
42:33Feeds it over to Thompson.
42:37Slides it across.
42:39Oh, just a great heads up play by Teben.
42:42And here's the pass to Roach.
42:47Handles the puck.
42:52Vancouver's looking to break out of their own end.
42:55Bell's lugging the puck.
42:57Tries to get it over to Nurse.
43:00Here they come on the attack.
43:07Passes it over.
43:10Hammers the one-time.
43:11Oh, she gets it from that slot shot.
43:15Ambrose moves the puck.
43:16Quick pass to Dubois.
43:20Montreal's got the puck against the boards.
43:22Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
43:29Fishes it off.
43:31Feeds it over.
43:33Slides it across.
43:36Tannehill's going to play it near the point.
43:39And the shot dies in the traffic jam.
43:41Tried to get out of the defensive end.
43:45And they get the puck out.
43:46That's exactly what they needed.
43:48Yeah, late in the game, you want to find a way to just get the puck out.
43:51You want to make sure you protect the middle of the ice.
43:53And listen, if your opponent doesn't have the puck in their offensive zone, guess what?
43:57You're in a good position.
43:58Let's move to the middle.
44:01And she denies that opportunity.
44:03And she shakes off a check.
44:06Passes it over.
44:08And she was in great position to rebound one.
44:14Bibien's last save was excellent.
44:16Turning the side and high-danger chance here, James.
44:18Just love the way that she's anticipating and tracking the puck right now.
44:22A big draw looming here in the offensive zone.
44:38And they win the draw in the offensive zone and they go to work.
44:42Here's a short pass to Boreen.
44:46She takes the feed.
44:49Vancouver's at the back end.
44:50Denied by the goaltender.
44:57Campbell's been excellent at managing this game for her team, James.
45:01Just making the timely save.
45:02And there's been some big ones in this game to keep her team in it.
45:05Give them an opportunity to win.
45:07But most importantly, I think it's about a rhythm.
45:10And when a goaltender makes a big save, you have an energy boost.
45:13And it sets you in rhythm to get on the attack.
45:20Getting into the later stages of this period, you can feel the energy in this crowd.
45:26It's a tie game.
45:28And they win the draw on their own end.
45:32Puck moved over to Tevin.
45:35Montreal's got it in their own zone.
45:39Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
45:41Pushes it across to Boreen.
45:46Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
45:50Pass across to Danny Landry.
45:57They've been crawled on the puck in their own zone.
46:01Here they come up along the wing.
46:02Breakout's got it in the offensive zone.
46:10That's intercepted.
46:14Montreal's got a hold of the puck.
46:17Looking for space inside the D zone.
46:21Breaking the puck deep inside their own end.
46:25Oh, textbook hook to turn that over.
46:29Under a minute to play in this, Danny.
46:32Keeps has the puck against the half wall.
46:38Quick feed to Greco.
46:40Nowhere for that shot to go through.
46:42DJ Arnema is moving pretty slowly out there.
46:45Looks like she's really taking a beating,
46:47but she's going to find a way to finish this shift.
46:48Pushing through the adversity.
46:53Picked up along the wall by Danny Landry.
46:56Mostly to Willoughby.
46:58And a nice takeaway in the defensive end by Gardner.
47:02She handles the feed.
47:06Score!
47:07So go ahead.
47:08Goal puts them in front.
47:10Well, and this has been trending to happen, James.
47:12They've been closing on the puck quickly
47:14since an upward trajectory as this game's progressed
47:17and they find the back of the net.
47:19I always find it amazing at the end of the third period.
47:22Everyone is so urgent.
47:23I mean, why can't you just play like this for 60 minutes, right?
47:26But they find a way to convert on it,
47:28and this could wind up being the game winner.
47:30Montreal's offensive struggles have been the story tonight.
47:49Lots of chances, just not a lot of results.
47:51Montreal's trailing, that's why they've got the extra attacker out on the ice
48:02and the goalie on the bench.
48:09They've got the extra attacker out there,
48:11and Cheryl, we know what this means.
48:12Well, you have to get possession with that extra player on the ice
48:15to look to win that draw and convert on their opportunity.
48:17Here's a blast!
48:20Wow, Shibian just prevented a goal!
48:22Well, that's a huge block taking away a great-A scoring chance,
48:25but you have to have courage and a willingness to get in front of it.
48:28Here we go, face-off inside the offensive end.
48:31The net is empty.
48:32They've got the extra attacker out.
48:35And they take possession here in the offensive zone,
48:37and time to go on the attack.
48:39Big time stop there!
48:41Final buzzer sounds, and this one's in the books.
48:44Okay, Cheryl, if this game was an essay, give me your concluding thesis.
48:49Oh, well, I don't know about that one.
48:50The last page of a book would say that, listen, James,
48:54the shooting percentage is off the charts.
48:56I mean, they had good quality chances, and they were able to capitalize.
48:58Otherwise, they weren't in this game.
49:00Hope you had as much fun as we did,
49:03bringing you the action here from all of us at EA Sports.
49:05I'm James Cebulski.
49:07Peace!
49:07Peace!
49:08Peace!
49:09Peace!
