04:43and I mean they're pushing and they're shoving
04:44they're doing everything they can
04:46but he's resilient
04:47he's got a willingness to his game

08:13big stop by the goaltender
08:16right in front
08:17I really like the save James

08:52and now let's see what they can do
08:54and a good save on the play
08:56as action continues
08:57as a goaltender sometimes you just have to react
09:00you turn the brain off
09:01and you just allow your eyes and your body to do the work for you
09:04and he does exactly that with a reactionary save
09:09takes it in front
09:11kicks off the pass
09:13Hobergs opted to hang on to the puck for a face off
09:21late goings of this period
09:23we've still got zeros on the board
09:26and he takes the pass
09:38the Bears gain possession
09:40here's a short pass to Kapanen
09:44steps in front of the shot

10:39moments away from the face off
10:47let's get back to the action
10:49New York's got it in the offensive zone
10:54and they got caught up in traffic
10:56and hits a stick
10:57fantastic stick
10:58I love the save James
11:02I mean the goaltender is so aggressive on this
11:04and he doesn't get the shooter any time to get rid of it
11:07Here it's quick stick off the draw
11:19wins possession
11:20and now he passes up to Kapanen
11:22and that's intercepted by Paul Mary
11:29Good night
11:30Good night
11:30and he can't
11:31Just fantastic work by the goaltender
11:34And they're making consecutive saves.
11:35How athletic.
11:37They're just got a piece of it to keep it out.
11:41Steps across the blue line.
11:45St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
11:49Moves it quickly over to Palat.
11:52And that shot goes nowhere as the end was done.
11:55And a great seed.
11:57Passes it to Drouin.
11:59And now he moves it to Palmieri.
12:02To Miser with a save.
12:04And that'll put a bow on the first 20 minutes of action here tonight.
12:13We've got lots more still to come.
12:14Second period is just around the corner.
12:16Second period is just around the corner.
12:18As we acknowledge tonight's special group's attendance.
12:21Second party will be at the end of the corner and there.
12:23We will be at the end of the corner and there.
12:24I'm join the room for the next 10 minutes.
24:10Mosep to D'Angelo.
24:12Handles the puck.
24:14Bucks turn the side for the blocker.
24:17And a nice puck check inside the neutral zone.

24:23Quick feed down low.
24:25Receives the puck in the corner.
24:30Near the point.
24:32Feeds it over.
24:33And makes the swing.
24:35Holbrook's gonna elect to just hang on to Alyssa.
24:38Well, he hasn't been busy, James,
24:40and I'd like that he landed on this
24:41when he's physically engaged in keeping himself in it.
24:44New York's coaches were preaching lots of shots on men,
24:47and they have done it and lead as a result here in the second.
24:51St. Petersburg's gonna start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
24:57Pucks it across the blue line.
25:01The Islanders have it now.
25:04The Bears have it in the offensive end.
25:07From one end of the blue line to the other.
25:10Here's a short pass to Duff.
25:12Oh, he comes up with a big stop there.
25:14Who's the puck?
25:16They are really buzzing here in the offensive end.
25:23Now Overtime Nylander.
25:25It's a sacrifice in the body in front.
25:27Here's a fight for it along the wall.
25:29And they skated out of the danger zone.
25:36Oh, look at this.
25:37Here they come.
25:38They've got numbers.
25:39Big time stop there.
25:42The Bears cross the blue line and are on the attack.
25:46Into the corner.
25:47He takes the pass.
25:49Quick pass to Struble.
25:52Slides the puck over.
25:54Steps in front of that one.
25:56St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
26:00End up along the boards.
26:07And he's ridden off the puck.
26:10Taken along the wall by Palac.
26:12Centering pass and dropped.
26:14Oh, and he comes up with a stop.
26:16The Islanders move the puck in the defensive zone.
26:19Moves it over to Sezekis.
26:21Oh, great play to sidestep the board jump.
26:24Ellis has the puck and holds on for a whistle.
26:29More than half the period has expired.
26:35New York's up one zip.
26:37Back in the way as he wins the draw beside the offensive zone.
26:42Moves on!
26:44We're gonna face off after the puck stays covered up.
26:48New York's got the decided edge in the shot department here tonight in the second period.
26:56And they continue to lead.
27:02They win the face off here at their own end and take possession.
27:07Moves it quickly over to Palac.
27:10Takes the field.
27:12Oh!
27:13Denies them with the paddle save!
27:15Officials are set. Players seem ready. We're ready to get this thing back underway.
27:24Puck is dropping. He wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
27:31Quick feed to Engvall.
27:34St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
27:37Stooped up along the wall by Engvall.
27:40The Islanders claim it on the boards.
27:44Stopped by the goaltender.
27:46Sends the pass over.
27:49Puck clears the sword and they'll be forced to regroup.
28:02Looking to make something happen along the boards.
28:04Here's a blast!
28:05Oh, what a save in front!
28:06Moves it to Heinemann.
28:07St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
28:09Here's a short pass to Bastian.
28:10St. Petersburg's got the puck against the boards.
28:11Quick pass across to Ciplicard.
28:13Takes the pass on the left wing.
28:14Puts it on the left.
28:15Ellis freezes the puck and opts for the whistle.
28:21The Islanders came into this one with one thought online.
28:23Lots of pucks to the net and they can do it on the right hand.
28:26They can do it on the left hand.
28:27This is a good one.
28:28It's a good one.
28:29in the left wing.
28:30Puts it on the net.
28:31Ellis freezes the puck
28:33and opts for the whistle.
28:38The Islanders came into this one
28:40with one thought on mind.
28:42Lots of pucks to the net
28:43and they continue to lead here
28:45late in the second.
28:47Karzels won the draw.
28:48Storks!
28:49And they run it back with another.
28:51Yeah, back-to-back goals.
28:53You can feel the energy,
28:54the wave, the momentum
28:55and the tides have turned here, James.
28:56They need to keep the pedal to the metal.
28:59On a deflected shot,
29:01everyone always talks about
29:02the stick positioning.
29:03How about the timing
29:04to get to the slot area as well
29:06and the ability to just tap it down
29:08and redirect it.
29:17New York's got to be feeling good
29:19about how their game is going tonight,
29:20extending the lead to two.
29:22And I think there's a bit of relief here, James.
29:24I mean, when you've been peppering
29:25the goaltender all night long
29:27and you're not being rewarded for it,
29:28sometimes it can go the other way,
29:30but they execute on that one
29:31and they give themselves a cushion.
29:33Luck picked up by Palmieri.
29:37Tripping right to the front.
29:39Oh, right at it.
29:40Get a glove on that.
29:41What a stop by Pelos.
29:43Reaction time is so critical
29:44for goaltenders
29:45because the way the players
29:47shoot in this game today,
29:48man, it is so tough to stop.
29:50Though this one, instincts.
29:52Glove goes up, makes the save.
29:53Quick pass to D'Angelo.
30:00St. Petersburg's working the puck
30:02through the court.
30:03Slides it across.
30:06Passes it over.
30:08Through the neutral zone,
30:09moving the puck along the side.
30:12The Islanders take possession
30:13here in the open ice.
30:15Escapes to the crease.
30:17Denies it in front.
30:18Let's have a look at that last hit.
30:24I mean, that was absolutely huge change.
30:27You know that this is a momentum changer.
30:28You can see the bench erupt with that one.
30:32In the final moments of this period,
30:35the Islanders now lead by two.
30:40Play resumes as they win the drop
30:42here inside the offensive zone.
30:44Oh, Pat's seen.
30:46Tremendous agility there by Ellis.
30:51The Islanders get a hold of the puck
30:53in the open ice.
30:56Moose it quickly over to Barron.
30:59He carries the puck up along the wing.
31:03St. Petersburg's in now.
31:07The Islanders have it now.
31:09Quick feed to Tuck.
31:12St. Petersburg's got possession
31:14here in the offensive zone.
31:15Oh, that's a great shot block there.
31:18Well, yeah, I mean, it's a great scoring chance,
31:20and you want to make sure
31:20that you get in front of that one,
31:22and he did.
31:22He gets all of it.
31:24Moose it to Burroughs.
31:26Here's a shot taken by Portier.
31:3036 seconds to the buzzer.
31:33Oh, here we go.
31:34This team knows how to turn it up
31:36another gear,
31:36and they have done that here.
31:39And they go the other way
31:40as they clear the zone.
31:43Tuck into the back.
31:45Oh, a clutch save!
31:47Ellis is the reason his team
31:49is still in this game.
31:50I mean, he's been acrobatic in the crease.
31:52Look at his save percentage.
31:53Save after save.
31:54What it does tell you
31:55is his team needs to shore up
31:56their defensive structure,
31:57and they have to find a way
31:59to create opportunities.
32:00And they win the draw.
32:01Let's see what they can do with it.
32:03Shucks them down!
32:04And that brings the period to an end.
32:11All right, third period
32:12just around the corner.
32:13We'll get a clean sheet of ice.
32:15I'm going to get more popcorn,
32:16and we're coming back
32:17with much more next.
32:19Are you ready
32:20for your walk down memory lane?
32:22Then join us
32:23for our fantasy camp.
32:24Play hockey
32:25with your childhood heroes
32:26is a fun,
32:27vivid week
32:28full of memories.
32:29And you can call us
32:30right now
32:31for details.
36:47The shot's come from the middle of the ice,
36:49and it has some heat on it, but he's ready and ready.
36:52Oh, wow, what a save.
36:54An unbelievable.
36:55Oh, it's going to stop the iron.
36:57It stays out.
36:58Graves got to be so frustrated, James.
37:01He's hit the bar a number of times tonight.
37:03Just because he thinks it's going to go in.
37:04Here's the medal.
37:06Here's the chance on the attack.
37:08And that's a great heads-up play by Pellick.
37:11Barzell's lugging the puck.
37:13Ducks it in.
37:17An attempt to clear the puck from deep inside his own end.
37:23And he moves it up to Smith.
37:26Pucks it over to Bastian.
37:28Bastian moves it and throws.
37:31And he denies that great opportunity there.
37:34Bastian's got it near the point.
37:37Grabs control of it at the point.
37:40Receives the pass.
37:44St. Petersburg's at the back end.
37:47Stout by the goaltender.
37:49Well, the bench erupts with that one.
37:55And you know why, James?
37:57Because he is telling his team,
37:58listen, I've bent, but I have not broken,
38:00and neither have you.
38:01So let's get going here.
38:02Let's find a way to get back in this one and tie it up.
38:05The Islanders have been bringing the fire offensively tonight,
38:21and they lead it early in this third.
38:23St. Petersburg's won it.
38:24Now they'll go on the attack.
38:25Burroughs setting up against the wall.
38:26The Islanders have played in their own end.
38:28And now it's grabbed by Lee.
38:29Her fingers block on the play.
38:30And the bench really erupts on that one,
38:31because otherwise it would have been in the back of the net.
38:32Ellis has been solid between the pipes tonight.
38:34James, really unwavering,
38:35and giving confidence to his entire team.
38:52Multiple big saves,
38:53and that really sets your team into a rhythm.
38:54They know that they have confidence in yourself,
38:57and the one that you miss.
38:58This is exactly what makes chemotherapy.
39:01they have confidence in you to make that save so they can try things they can do things and play
39:06their game still plenty of time left in this frame the Islanders are currently sitting in
39:19the driver's seat leading to nothing
39:21the Bears take it across the line
39:37the Islanders gain control of the puck against the wall
39:43through the neutral zone and into the offensive end
39:48St. Petersburg is looking to break out of the road in
39:55with possession along the wall
39:59here's a short pass to Burroughs
40:04takes the pass
40:06oh and comes up with nothing on the play
40:09you're in the slot you've got to hit the net
40:12slides the puck across put her back
40:14and the puck leaves the offensive end
40:16they'll be forced to do it over from center
40:23St. Petersburg's got the puck
40:25works it across to Cartier
40:27moves into the slot
40:31and he ups to wait for more support
40:35quick pass to Nylander
40:38back in with intention
40:40and the shot dies in the traffic jam
40:42I don't think anybody was hanging on to the puck after that hit
40:46oh it stays out
40:49you've got a piece of that one
40:51that's a fantastic save by the goaltender
40:53but his team has to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice
40:57those high danger scoring chances eventually go in
40:59more than half the period left to play
41:01more than half the period left to play
41:02more than half the period left to play
41:06the Islanders lead this one to zip
41:08more than half the period left to play
41:09no goal for that shot to go through
41:11and that's intercepted by Zizekas
41:15moves the company over to Holtzburg
41:17the Bears get a hold of the puck in their own end
41:20tries to get it over to Fabry
41:23quick feed to Holtzburg
41:28quick feed to Holtzburg
41:30oh great move to sidestep the check
41:33long reach breaks up the momentum
41:36and he takes the feed
41:40drafts key in the line and on the attack
41:44Samula is going to play it against the half wall
41:49a chance blocking traffic
41:56big time stop there
41:58there's the whistle as the puck is frozen up
42:03the Islanders have shown no signs of stopping
42:06putting pucks on net and they lead it here in this third
42:12and they win the offensive zone pretty soft
42:14now let's see if they can capitalize
42:16Dishes it off
42:22the Bears will play it from the corner
42:25feeds it over
42:27slides it across
42:29gets a piece of it to keep it out
42:31New York's got it in their own zone
42:34moves it to Barzell
42:37top passes around the champ
42:39shuts him down
42:41penalty coming up
42:43O'Brien's got it against the boards
42:46and they get the extra attacker out
42:48as the goaltender gets to the bench
42:50there's the whistle
42:52and here's the call
42:54Paul Mary's going off for cross-checking
42:56well cross-checking is the call here
42:58and that's going to be the pounder special
43:00anytime you move your hands away from your body
43:02and you get your opponent
43:04you know it's going to be called every single time
43:06St. Petersburg's got another opportunity here on the man advantage
43:13feel on the power play is all about making adjustments
43:16and they can do that
43:17they have to hit that weak side from wide open all night
43:19here's a short pass to Struble
43:23short pass to Struble
43:25shot
43:26Michael
43:27and Cooper out
43:28what a blocker stop by Homer
43:31Chicago's coming up next on the schedule
43:34and these two teams
43:35doesn't matter where they are in the schedule
43:37where they are in the standings
43:39always a good contest
43:40I'm looking forward to that
43:44St. Petersburg's won the draw and they're going to work
43:46score
43:48and they rank the balls to the opportunity
43:51with the extra attacker out there on the ice
43:53but what a rifle
43:55yeah we identified earlier James
43:57that it was really important to get the goaltender moving cross crease
44:00and that's exactly what that pass does
44:02and they execute on the one timer
44:05you know that goaltenders have been taught to drop into that butterfly position
44:09and really try to cover a majority of the net
44:11trying to make themselves as big as possible James
44:14but the shooter guess what
44:16they work on their accuracy
44:17and this is pinpoint as it's bearing home
44:28St. Petersburg's finally showing some pushback in the form
44:31they've got a goal here
44:32it's amazing James how a game can change within the game
44:35and that happened right there on that last sequence
44:38getting to the middle of the ice
44:39fighting for possession
44:40and that's a sense of urgency late in the third
44:43and now he tries to get it across to Carrick
44:46St. Petersburg's got the puck here on the open ice
44:50close it to the middle
44:52he scores!
44:54James the game is more than X's and O's
45:03sometimes it's emotional leadership that comes into play
45:05and that's exactly what this goal means to this entire bench
45:08is you see everyone erupt when he scores
45:11the Bears' perseverance pace off as we are tied here in the back half of the third
45:27perseverance you said it just finding a way to get it done and stick with it
45:32that's what they've done and they found themselves here
45:34they've got the equalizer now it's a matter of now attacking and finding a way to get on top
45:39and he slides it quickly to pull up
45:42oh and a misfire as that goes right out of the zone
45:48great hustle to come up with the puck
45:50slides it to Carrick
45:52feeds it down low
45:54breathes it perfectly and comes up with the takeaway
45:58looks to make a play over to Palmieri
46:01and that was read perfectly what a play by Carrick
46:07and he takes the feed
46:10St. Petersburg's in a much better position than they were earlier in this game
46:14that's because of their resilience and tenacity on the puck
46:17they never gave up a no quit attitude and they're back in this game
46:21quick pass to St. Petersburg's got control of it now here in the offensive end
46:30laying the body
46:32here's the slot
46:34stopped by the goaltender
46:40well that's been around the net all night long here James
46:43and you know he's gonna like that one finally getting a tally with another opportunity
46:47finally executes but you gotta love the puck touches that he's had
46:50and the fact that he stayed the course and didn't get frustrated with himself
47:03a lot on the line here in this offensive zone faceoff
47:13they win the draw and go on the attack
47:16and that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone
47:22across the line from center
47:25Smith's got it along the ring
47:29picked up along the boards by Stinley
47:32too much congestion blocks the shot
47:36Barzell's got it into offensive territory
47:39stopped by the goaltender
47:40trying to get the puck out of his own hand
47:43there's spectacular saves
47:46I think it's an incredible save James
47:47it's anticipation as well
47:49recognize that the shooter is in the low slot
47:51getting in front of it and making the save
47:53late goings of this period
47:55we are all tied up in this one
47:57the Islanders win the draw and they go on the attack here in the offensive zone
48:05made the stop on the play
48:08ahead of steam now towards the front
48:11New York's game possession along the boards
48:14moves it quickly over to Hormat
48:18the Islanders take it along the wall
48:23found it going along the boards
48:27caught grabbed by Bastion
48:30oh look at this
48:32sends it down low
48:36grabbed along the board by Bastion
48:39oh how did you miss that
48:40I mean it's all part of the game
48:43but Cheryl you've got to connect on that one
48:45well you do especially when you get those
48:47grade A scoring chances
48:49and the deadlock is broken as they take the lead
48:53well that's a huge shift
48:55and you can see everyone standing up on the bench
48:57they know how much it means
48:58but it's the next shift that matters most now James
49:01you want to kind of push and put pressure on your opponent when they're down
49:03New York's got the lead here in period number three
49:21so Cheryl do you protect or do you keep on pushing now?
49:23I think there's a fine balance here
49:25I mean you don't just want to play to hold on
49:27you want to attack for the win James
49:28but you've got to recognize where you are on the ice
49:31and you've got to trust who you put out there
49:33and he sidesteps the kick there
49:36and appears to save on the play
49:38handles the puck at the point
49:42Perron's exploring options along the line
49:46and that shot gets caught in traffic
49:48quick feed to Perron
49:51my word they've really got them hemmed in here in their own zone
49:54right over to Pappen
49:59skating with it
50:02takes it off
50:04and it's picked up by the D
50:08takes the puck
50:10sends it down to the half wall
50:12grabs the puck behind the rim
50:14and that's intersecting
50:16and they'll skate it out of the zone
50:19they've really got him on their heels here now
50:21he is here now
50:24moving around
50:26looking for options
50:28here's the time
50:29big time save right there
50:31cross ice pass to Barzal
50:36and they skated out of the danger zone
50:41leading in the game up 5-1
50:45just have the presence of mind to kill the clock
50:48put the puck in deep
50:49close out
50:51close out
50:53close out
50:55you do
50:57and the third period
50:58score
51:00the title was so good to score
51:01but they really have been a flurry at the end of the third period
51:03haven't they James?
51:04I mean they've been tenacious
51:05and they've been competitive
51:06it's the reason why they got the equalizer
51:08in the dying seconds of the frame
51:10this is deflating
51:11if you're the team that just got scored on in the dying seconds of the third period
51:14you felt like you had the game in the bag and you gave it away
51:17but on the other side there's a ton of momentum, energy and emotion
51:29both teams plotting into position and the officials set to drop the puck
51:32oh there's the horn regulation comes to an end and we are still tied
51:46overtime is looming
51:47and we'll bring it to you in a moment

52:19You love these moments of drama
52:48You're a sports fan
52:49And overtime is set to get underway
52:51We're going to get ourselves a hero tonight or what?
52:56It's overtime and the clock is ticking
52:58He drives to the sweet spot
53:01Ellis has it and freezes the play
53:04Bullock's having himself a multi-point night
53:09And these are the types of nights that you dream about
53:12And I'm continuing to dream because I've never had multi-point nights
53:15So you've got to savor them, embrace them
53:17And get as many minutes as you can when you're feeling it like this
53:20That's why the coach is throwing them over the boards
53:22A critical draw here
53:37Stenlunds won the draw here in their own zone
53:47Cartier's got it across the line
53:53Grabs the puck and looks to make something happen
53:58Oh, and the puck leaves the zone
54:02They'll be forced to do this one over
54:04The Bears looking against the half wall
54:07Here's a chance to the middle
54:09And that's stuck
54:11The Bears slide the puck near the point
54:14Moves it to Burroughs
54:16And he takes the pass
54:19Puck scooped up by Druette
54:24Garzels into the offensive zone
54:28Now on the attack
54:29Look, he did it
54:30And he got Nizam
54:32Stenlunds
54:33They take it in overtime
54:34What an effort by this team out there tonight
54:50They bend, but they don't break here, James
54:57This is a 200-foot play
54:58When you take care of business in your own end
55:01It ends up going the other way
55:02It is something that coaches look for
55:04How you defend
55:05How you can turn pucks over
55:06And get going north
55:07They capitalize
55:08They execute
55:09And they wind up on the score sheet
55:10Well, that'll bring an end
55:18To an exciting night of hockey
55:19And for all of us here at EA Sports
55:21Including Danny, Matt, Natalia
55:23All in the truck
55:24I'm James
55:25She's Cheryl
55:25Good night, everybody
55:26We'll be right back
55:56We'll be right back
56:26We'll be right back
