00:21building the anticipation leading to this moment and we're about to get the opening face off
00:27the Avalanche established possession here early in this one as they win the draw
00:31and he comes up with a stop there
00:34as a defender you love when you're going to have this kind of rebound control makes it so much easier
00:39oh man he's so dialed in makes consecutive saves there and keeps his team in it
00:46the Bears kicking along the wall

01:01moves it quickly over to McCaw
01:04and a smart heads up play to pick out a win by Dashkin
01:08turned the side with the glove
01:10well these are the types of plays when your edges and your hands work simultaneously
01:14guess what you create space and you're able to get shots off like that
01:18still plenty of time left in this frame
01:21still scoreless in this one
01:28and they win the draw here on their own end
01:33here they come on the attack down to the left side
01:35oh crushed right under the bench
01:38that looks like sitting on your opponent's lap jams
01:40trying to get off
01:42oh that's a tough one
01:43I can feel the chirping coming from his own bench
01:47Colorado's got control of the puck
01:51along the side here they come for the neutral zone
01:55Colorado's got the puck against the Bulldogs
01:57oh just a great heads up play by Kapanen

02:08closed space so fast and just taken down
02:11we got a whistle penalty coming up
02:16Karrick's pick on the play has resulted in an interference penalty
02:19running the interference plays is part of the game
02:22but you can't impede the forward progress of your opponent
02:25that's a two minutes interference call
02:33the first penalty kill of the night for this team
02:35and they won't let that knock their confidence
02:37we know their penalty kill unit is ranked
02:40toward the bottom of the league
02:41it's something they've been actively working on
02:43to improve so let's see
02:44if any of their improvements show up tonight
02:48slides the puck to Stenland
02:51and he takes the feed
02:57St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall

03:11the Bears will try to shave a few seconds off this penalty now
03:14and tries to make a diagonal pass to Stenland
03:18huge play in his own end to come up at the top
03:22Glenn Denning's got it in the offensive zone
03:24and that slides right out to Setter Rice
03:28Glenn Denning's moving the puck through his own zone
03:32can't stay on his feet after that hit
03:35St. Petersburg's going to be able to kill a few seconds off now with the puck
03:40takes the feed from his net minder
03:43poked away at Setter Rice
03:45the Avs will get their other power play unit out here
03:48as they start from their own end

03:58works it across to Natchez
03:59from their own end
04:01trying to kickstart this power play
04:03can't keep a hold of it
04:05taken by Landeskog
04:09Colorado's got the puck along the wall

04:16quick shot
04:17just slide
04:20Colorado's got possession of the puck
04:22feeds the puck to Natchez
04:25Korak's penalty has almost expired
04:27the Avs play the puck from the back of the net
04:30oh how about that
04:31step it up
04:32get out the ice packs hey James
04:34that's what you gotta do if you want to compete for a P.K. spot
04:37he does exactly that and he takes away the shot threat
04:40here's a short pass to Kert
04:46Colorado's got the puck
04:47slides it diagonally to Natchez
04:51down the left wing and into the offensive zone
04:54makes a move and the puck hops away from him
04:58Klandiskog's such a great player James he's got great hands and in tight skill but just that extra move there
05:03it's a tricky one and he gets lost in it
05:06huge steal at his own end
05:08huge steal at his own end
05:09huge steal at his own end
05:09through center along the wing
05:16the Avs get a hold of the puck along the boards
05:20directs it on over to Natchez
05:24St. Petersburg's looking to break out at their own end
05:27slides the puck to Stenland
05:36St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall
05:40slides it back to the blue line
05:42and a nice take away in the defensive end by Lekanen
05:47Natchez setting up against the wall
05:50St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards
05:54into the offensive zone
05:57passes a throw
05:58and he demies that great opportunity there
06:04and he takes the pass
06:09and the puck leaves the zone going back to center ice
06:13and now it's grabbed by Katerman
06:16Colorado's got a hold of the puck now
06:21oh look at this
06:24best glove by Morazic
06:31let's have another look at that monster of a hit there James
06:34you gotta love it you have to have great timing
06:36you gotta know when your opponent's vulnerable
06:41past the halfway mark of this period
06:43we've still got zeroes on the board
06:48the abs win it
06:49he may have just stopped it
06:51I think you did James
06:53I mean you gotta protect the house
06:54especially when it's a great threat shot like that
06:56and he finds a way to get in front of that end quick
06:59easy save by Morazic
07:01sometimes we have no time to think to make these types of saves
07:04I mean there's no hesitation here
07:05just simply reaction to be able to make it
07:07quick pass to Smith
07:11moves it around along the half wall
07:12a point for the finger
07:15stumps up with the blocker
07:18here's a chance behind the net
07:20tries to the sweet spot
07:21and the goaltender grabs that one for a whistle
07:24to try to slow things down here
07:28Morazic's made a great save on that last play
07:30taking away a high danger chance
07:31because of his ability to anticipate
07:33and know where the shooter's coming from
07:44both teams gliding into position
07:46and the official set to drop the puck
07:52the abs win the draw
07:55St. Petersburg's trying to make something happen
07:57in the offensive zone
07:59Stenland's been lagging in terms of his offensive projection
08:02he's on a pointless streak right now
08:04you can certainly sense the frustration in his game
08:06even his body line was just a little bit off
08:08he certainly needs to get one
08:10just to get his game back
08:11quick feed to Englund
08:15slides the puck over
08:19and that's off a stick
08:22denies him on the slobber
08:26come on
08:27stick handling in his own zone
08:33there's the whistle
08:34icing the call
08:35big face up looming
08:48and they win the draw on their own end
08:50well there is certainly pressure on the center to win this draw
08:53coming off of an icing where everyone's tired
08:55when you get the win
08:57you get out of your zone
09:00from the point they take control of it
09:03moves the puck over to Natchez
09:05and that's stolen in the offensive zone
09:08he's already headed so off his mask
09:10that's not a header in soccer
09:12but it's a shot off the mask
09:14either way it's a save
09:16hopefully in the defensive end
09:21right through center and into the offensive zone
09:25moves the pass in front
09:27and that's stopped
09:29quick pass across to Natchez
09:32Colorado's down in the offensive zone
09:35Burrows plays it now
09:37moves it to Fabry
09:38gets the puck over to O'Brien
09:41here's a shot
09:42and he easily stops that one
09:44well you know he's got the skill set
09:46to be able to maintain possession of this puck
09:48but how about the determination
09:49have his eyes on the prize the whole time
09:52and to get out of the coverage
09:54to be able to get a shot on that
09:55that's courage
09:56and that certainly is a rule to take into the net
10:05here in the late though
10:06another frame
10:07where it's still still looks
10:18Colorado's got the puck
10:19after winning the defensive zone

18:41area as we call it.
18:43But he's got a lot of time, but he's got it.
18:51One, two, three, four, three, four.

19:35To the most lot.
19:38Puck exits the zone.
19:41And now he moves it to Kapanen.
19:43And here at center, that's intercepted.
19:49Sends a pass over.
19:53Burrows plays the puck.
19:56Moves it quickly over to Carrick.
19:58And the traffic jam in front blocks the shot.
20:02Throws one up to Lozog.
20:04Couldn't catch up to that pass.
20:08Here they come on the attack.
20:10Fires it on net.
20:12Oh, this is, I thought that was the first to the game.
20:15Whoa, that is huge.
20:17Have to be able to get a shot on net at the very least.
20:19Could have changed momentum with the first score.
20:22Good hit to Buckleman up the puck.
20:25Here's a short pass to D'Angelo.
20:29The Avs scoop it up along the boards.
20:33Puck scooped up by D'Angelo.
20:35Takes some weight in the chest.

20:55Colorado's got it in their own zone.
20:57Feeds it on over to O'Connor.
20:59To his team.
21:01Stopped by the goaltender.
21:03What a fantastic save from a high-danger scoring area, James.
21:07I mean, he's bailing his team out.
21:08They have to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.
21:11Enching closer to the midway mark of this period.
21:15Still no score in this one.
21:21The Avs win the faceoff.
21:23Oh, and it steams out as he gets a piece of that one.
21:27Morazic's made a great save, and even better is the redirect to the corner.
21:32Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
21:35That's a textbook save by Morazic.
21:38Loses possession after he takes a little hit.
21:41From the right side, he goes to the middle of the neutral zone.
21:45Here's a shot.
21:46Oh, that's got to hurt.
21:48What a play.
21:51D'Angelo's lugging the puck.
21:53Looks to pass it to Smith.
21:56Quick pass to Glenn Denning.
21:58Takes the pass.
22:00Tap dances around the check.
22:02Blocked away by Ledwood.
22:05St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
22:08Quick feed to Glenn Denning.
22:11Swing and a miss.
22:18Here's a shot.
22:19Being saved by the goaltender watching that one.
22:22You have to be quick in your crease if you want to be able to deny low zone shots.
22:26He does that perfectly as he's tight to the shooter right there.
22:31From the opposite point.
22:33Oh, what a save!
22:35Wedgwood's got the puck, and he's going to hang on.
22:57Some last-second communication before both teams get ready to drop the puck here.
23:06The Avs take possession off the face-off.
23:08Time, time, time!
23:09Looking for space inside the D zone.
23:13Chris Chapas crossed the line and came to the zone.
23:17Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck.
23:20The Avs going to work on offense.
23:22Quick to stop.
23:24And the goalie covers up for the whistle.
23:31Still lots of time left here in this frame.
23:34Still looking for our first goal.
23:39The Avs will go to work here in the offensive zone.
23:42St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
23:46Passes it in front.
23:48And they demise that great opportunity there.
23:51Taken by Nachushkin.
23:54Oh, great move to sidestep the chip.
23:58St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
24:01Kaffinny's got it in the defensive end.
24:05St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
24:08On the backhand!
24:10Oh, what a save on the play!
24:12Oh, that's an athletic save, James.
24:14I mean, that's just all about competing, finding a way to get to the puck.
24:17They've really got another heel here now.
24:20Oh, and the puck skips out of the offensive end, and they'll be all in on!
24:25Oh, it stopped it!
24:26How did it do that?
24:28I have no idea, James.
24:29I don't even know how he trapped the puck, let alone got to it.
24:31I mean, unbelievable.
24:32His team has got to find a way to rebound off of that one.
24:35Unbelievable save.
24:37Fight continues here, but this crowd's still buzzing after what we saw.
24:42Oh, what a stop that was!
24:43Oh, yeah, and they're saying thank you to the goaltender right now, James.
24:46They're still on their feet.
24:47They're electric right now.
24:49And really, it's a nice feeling.
24:50Why?
24:51Because it doesn't always go this way.
24:52So when you have it, you embrace it.
24:56Well, that was a 10-bell save.
24:57We're going to get to watch it again here on the replay, James.
25:00But man, oh man, when you find the puck like that,
25:02and you have the instincts and urgency,
25:04and the desperation to attack it,
25:06that is one heck of a save.
25:20Passed the midway mark in this period.
25:23Still scoreless in this one.
25:28Play resumes as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone.
25:33Morazic's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
25:40Both teams are set.
25:41They're ready to drop the puck.
25:47Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
25:52St. Petersburg's got the puck.
25:55Right in the open ice.
25:56That one's picked off.
25:59The Bears get a hold of the puck in their own end.
26:04And now it's grabbed by Stinland.
26:07Moussa to Pallot.
26:11The Avalanche have gained control of the puck in their own zone.
26:15And now it's over to Colton.
26:17Here's a chance!
26:19And the legs clogged up, blocking that.
26:22Here they come on the rush.
26:26Sends the pass over.
26:30Across the point.
26:33Right on the doorstep.
26:34And that ricochets on the twig in front.
26:39Gains it over!
26:40Big time blocker stopped by Legswood.
26:44Oh, look at this!
26:46Oh, look at this chance!
26:49St. Petersburg's got the puck.
26:51Taken by Bastion.
26:54Gaining momentum along the board.
26:56He says, let's get physical in that play.
27:00Quickshot!
27:01Scores!
27:02They're on the board.
27:04They're in the back of this one.
27:06Well, they've been skipping all around it all night, haven't they, James?
27:08But now they've finally punched their ticket in the second half of this game.
27:12They've got to find a way to get another one.
27:15It's going to be a quick release that gets it done here, James.
27:17But now I'm more impressed with him getting to position.
27:19You've got to fight to get to those areas.
27:21It's tough in there.
27:22You pay the price.
27:23And because he does, he scores a goal.
27:42St. Petersburg's finally goal for Turo.
27:44It has the lead now.
27:46Late in period number two.
27:47Well, it's been a hard-fought battle, and they put themselves in a great position here
27:50at the end of the second half.
27:51They can just ride it out, get to the intermission, and start the third with a bang.
27:56From the left side into the middle of the neutral zone.
27:59Fires it!
28:00Oh, how did he get a piece of that?
28:03The shot's coming from the middle of the ice, and he hit has some heat on it,
28:06but he's ready and waiting for it.
28:08He's to position, and he makes the save.
28:10Stoppage and play offside the call.
28:14Here in the late goings of the period.
28:16St. Petersburg's ahead, 1-0.
28:22Nelson's one possession.
28:24Slides the puck ahead to O'Connor, and they'll go the other way with a great play by Smith.
28:29St. Petersburg takes it to the front.
28:35Big-time save by Redwood.
28:38Well, Goaltender has to be able to anticipate the play, and he does just that.
28:41Gets clear to the shooter in the low slot and makes the save.
28:44Morazic still a hand-on for a whistle.
28:50Centers glide into the dot as the face-off ready to resume play.
28:56The Avs win the draw, and they go on the attack here in the offensive zone.
29:00Shuts him down!
29:03St. Petersburg's moving it up the ice.
29:06Great heads-up play in the neutral zone by Lekanen.
29:09Takes the puck at the point.
29:11Oh, and one of his teammates is right in the shooting lane there.
29:14Big-time stop there!
29:16Well, a great-A scoring chance taken away from the inner slot
29:20because he's so aggressive and gets to the top of his crease.
29:31Nice start winning the draw here inside the offensive zone.
29:35And that goes off of sticking off to the side.
29:38And that's intercepted by McKinnon.
29:41Knocks the puck loose after a solid hit.
29:43Oh, and just gets a piece of it!
29:46Maitreus gets a nice opportunity on net
29:49and his first game back after rehabbing this easy, James.
29:52That's got to feel good.
29:53What a heck of a stars!
29:56What a heart and wow!
29:58Yeah, that's unbelievable, isn't it, James?
30:00That shot goes top cheese and just knocks the bottle
30:03off of the top of the net.
30:04It's bottle pops.
30:07You know, it's interesting here.
30:08I'm not even sure in the video room if the coach will show the goal,
30:10but I know for sure they're going to show
30:12how they got possession of this puck.
30:14And it's the initial contact.
30:16You've got to hit, it's got to be clean, it's got to be hard,
30:18and you've got to disrupt it from the player.
30:21It's exactly what happens, and they're able to maintain possession
30:23to even get an opportunity on net.
30:30The Avalanche have been pushing and pushing,
30:32and they were finally rewarded with that goal.
30:34Yeah, and the end of the period, too.
30:36That's a critical time to score a goal.
30:38The opponent doesn't want to give up one.
30:39You gain one.
30:40You have momentum heading into the third.
30:43Feeds the puck across to Natchez.
30:46Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
30:49St. Petersburg's looking to break out of the road in.
30:52Great pressure to force the turnover by Nachuskin.
30:57Handles the puck.
30:58Takes a shot.
30:59And it's turned aside by Wedgwood.
31:01And rings the iron!
31:03I love offense, James.
31:05I never really provided any, and I would have missed this one.
31:08But right in there on the tender,
31:10and isn't able to get it in the 4x6.
31:12Instead, it hits the piping out.
31:14We've played not one, but two periods now tonight.
31:17It's a chance to go grab that final snack.
31:20Go stretch your legs,
31:22because a big third period is just around the corner.
36:03And now it's grabbed by Bastion.
36:07Slides the puck down low.
36:10Into the corner.
36:11He takes the pass.
36:12Slides it across.
36:14Moves it quickly over to McKinnon.
36:16The abs move to the offensive zone.
36:19Oh, what a stop.
36:21Grabes the puck in the corner.
36:23Shot.
36:24Too many bodies in the way.
36:27Up along the wing.
36:29And it's a quick pass to O'Brien.
36:32Takes the puck.
36:35St. Petersburg's got the puck against the boards.
36:40The Avalanche have position now.
36:43Pass to Natchez.
36:45Puts it on net.
36:46Oh, and it stays out.
36:48He got a piece of that one.
36:50Just a little too much contact and couldn't hang on to the puck.
36:54There's the whistle.
36:55We've got it offside.
36:57The Shushkin's been feeling it here tonight.
36:59James getting a ton of puck touches and looks on net and finally cashes in.
37:03That one's going to feel good.
37:04But I do love his process here.
37:06I mean, it shows maturation in his game as a young player.
37:09Sometimes you can get frustrated and let it take you off your game.
37:12And this time, he didn't let that happen.
37:14He found a way to get the tally.
37:27Lots of time left in this period.
37:29We are all tied up in this one.
37:38St. Petersburg's come up with possession after that neutral zone draw.
37:43Moves the puck along the half wall.
37:47Takes the feet at the back end.
37:50Some nice footwork here across the line.
37:54Handles the pass.
37:55Turns it away.
38:02Horacek really had the pulse of his team this game, James.
38:05I mean, making some huge saves at the right time.
38:07And that's what you need from your goaltender
38:08to sort of weather the storm when they have to
38:10and make the timely save when they need to.
38:13You garner momentum from it.
38:14It's uplifting and it provides energy.
38:25The setters will glide into the dot.
38:34St. Petersburg's won the draw inside the offensive zone.
38:36Now let's see what they can do with it.
38:39Puffs it over.
38:42Here in the corner, he grabs the puck.
38:45Here's a shot.
38:46Oh, a little wax on, wax off.
38:49What a blocker stop by Wisdom.
38:52Jumps it in.
38:54The Bears gain possession.
38:56Sends one up to Barron.
38:58Picks it up.
38:59And they turn on the pressure.
39:02Moracek's got it.
39:03And the officials blow the play down.
39:05Well, this is a smart play.
39:06He's been dialed in all night and recognizes
39:08that he doesn't want his team to make any mistakes.
39:10The safe play sometimes is to hold on.
39:17Stenlitz won the draw inside his own end.
39:23And he slides in quickly to pull off.
39:28Obey Kubel is exploring options with the puck.
39:31And he shuts the door on that.
39:34Goaltender covers it up.
39:35We get a whistle to slow things down.
39:38We haven't even hit the midway mark of the period.
39:41It's all tied up.
39:47Nelson's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
39:51And he cuffs it up with a pass.
39:54The Avs have it now.
39:57Taken along the wall by Lekanen.
40:00Slides the pass over to O'Connor.
40:02And that's broken up by Palat.
40:07The Avalanche have gained control of the puck along the wall.
40:11Moves it on over to Nelson.
40:15St. Petersburg's got the puck here on the open ice.
40:18Taken by Obey Kubel.
40:22Icing is the call.
40:23We're going to face up at the other end.
40:29Centers glide into the dots.
40:31We're ready to get things back going again.
40:34And they win the faceoff and set up to go in the attack.
40:38Semmer wins that one clean.
40:39Everyone's ready for the puck.
40:41They know they're attacking now with a tired group that they're playing against.
40:56Glenn Dennings won the draw in his own end.
40:58Now let's see if they can clear it.
41:00Here's a short pass to Smith.
41:03And he takes the dish.
41:05Here's a chance.
41:06Sends it in front.
41:07And that doesn't connect.
41:10And that's just out of reach.
41:12Quick pass to Smith.
41:17Sends it past the front.
41:18And that's stuck.
41:21Puts one on there.
41:23Puts one right in the low-low.
41:29Prendswood's made an incredible save there.
41:31I'm not sure how he kept that out of the net.
41:33Just really athletic.
41:34I mean, you have to be acrobatic to be able to get to the top of your cues like that.
41:38Because you read it perfectly to be able to make the save and keep it at bay.
41:47Still lots of time left in the period.
41:49You can feel the energy in this crowd.
41:52But it's a tie game.
41:55The Bears will start off on the attack after winning the draw.
42:00Here's a centering pass.
42:02And he elects not to shoot and will hang on to the puck.
42:06Buffs up the puck after that hit.
42:08Here's the heroine surrender there.
42:10And a strong effort on that play.
42:14Gaines deserves re-centered.
42:17St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
42:24Dishes it off.
42:26Moves the puck across to Likkonen.
42:28Strong defensive effort.
42:32The Bears have it from their own end.
42:35Gaining momentum along the wing.
42:40Heads it over.
42:41Big time stop.
42:43This is a really nice save, James.
42:45I mean, the shooter's in the middle of the ice is in the slot area.
42:47And he's got to get to the top of the three square root of the puck to be able to
42:50make that save.
42:51Great job.
42:53St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
42:56Unable to reach that one.
42:58Colorado's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
43:01Works the cross to Nelson.
43:04Fantastic save!
43:05A timely save is everything to your team.
43:08And this goaltender, he bails his team out.
43:13Puck grab by Likkonen.
43:15Puck, what a stop!
43:18There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
43:21The Blues are up next according to the league schedule makers.
43:25And no love lost between these two sides.
43:28Tickets still available.
43:29Should be a good one.
43:32And off the draw, they'll take possession.
43:36Tries to feed it up.
43:39The Avalanche have taken control of the puck.
43:42And a great scene!
43:45Stenland's got the puck through the neutral zone.
43:49On the attack, they come down the right wing.
43:53Pulled it up by Middleton.
43:57Wiffs on that.
43:58We're in the side of the blocker by Wedgman.
44:02Center and pass it through.
44:03And he shuts down a great scoring chance there.
44:07Llandestam swooping in on the attack.
44:10Shakes himself free.
44:12Denies him!
44:14Jorazic styled in and outstanding at anticipating the play here, James.
44:18He recognizes exactly where the greatest threat is on the ice.
44:22It's a small area.
44:23He gets the position and makes the save.
44:25Huge steal on his own end.
44:27Nice dish from the left wing.
44:30Oh, I'll save on the play!
44:32He's doing absolutely everything he can to keep his team in this game, James.
44:36Unbelievable save.
44:43Slides and drops.
44:45Oh, they telegraph the pass and he picks it off.
44:49Quick shot!
44:50There's a stop with the blocker by Brasic.
44:53St. Petersburg's looking to break out.
44:56Quick feed to O'Brien.
44:59Here's the chance.
45:02Oh, look at the pass!
45:04The avalanche of the puck in the road, man.
45:08I was never expected to score, James, so this never really bothered me.
45:11I was always on the defensive side of it.
45:13But listen, the goaltenders had to make some huge save.
45:16Everyone's talking about the chances.
45:17How about the tenders and their positioning and the ability to move within the net?
45:22Cut!
45:25Puck picked up by Smith.
45:28And he takes the feed.
45:30Stopped by the goaltender, getting a piece of that one.
45:33Dishes it to Milano.
45:36We got a whistle as the puck goes out of play.
45:41The goaltender, they have to have talent.
45:43They have to have mobility.
45:45They have to be able to track the puck.
45:46But they have to have a willingness to find it and fight for any second shot.
45:50And that's exactly what happens here.
45:52Out battling, out willing, and you make the save.
45:56Late goings of this period.
45:59The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
46:04St. Petersburg's won it.
46:06Slides it across to Smith.
46:12Handles the puck at the point.
46:16Colorado's got control of it now from their own end.
46:19Puck scooped up by McCarr.
46:20The abs will play from the defensive zone.
46:24Play is called for offside.
46:31A big draw looming here in the offensive zone.
46:42McKinnon's gained possession and his great work inside.
46:45The face-off circle pays off again.
46:47Sends it over.
46:52Scooped up along the wall by Skrubel.
46:57St. Petersburg's got the puck in the defensive end.
47:03Goes and it's right.
47:04It's scores!
47:06What an opportunity!
47:08Lookers!
47:16I love that he fights for his face here to be able to get to an area where there's a
47:20little bit of time to get the one-timer off.
47:22He knows it's got to get off in a hurry and he puts it in the back of the net.
47:42St. Petersburg's got to feel like they've got some extra energy now with that one goal lead here in the
47:47third.
47:47Well, you can see the finish line, but you're not there yet, so you've got to make sure that you
47:51continue to press, James.
47:52You've got to close quickly on your opponent when they have the puck.
47:55Don't give them an inch in all three zones.
47:58Raising safety by Rozic.
48:01Puck is frozen and we're going to face off.
48:07In the final moments of this period, St. Petersburg's got the momentum with a one-goal lead.
48:13They'd love to add to that.
48:15Lozon's got the puck in his own zone.
48:21Pucks are down the ice.
48:22We'll get an icing.
48:28This is a face-off.
48:29They'll definitely want to win here inside the offensive zone.
48:36And they win the offensive zone, face-off.
48:38Now let's see if they can capitalize.
48:40He grabs the puck here at the fourth.
48:42He scores!
48:43Well, talk about a friendly ping right there.
48:46Oh, yeah, it's all about the bounces, isn't it, James?
48:49And you've got to get the right one, and that one is in his favor.
48:53There it is, James.
48:54I mean, this guy just knows how to score goals.
48:57He's got a nap for the net with your goal score, and that's why he's leading his team.
49:21Colorado's playing to win here now in the late stages of this one, Cheryl.
49:25And it's amazing how you can get so much rejuvenation off of a goal at the late stages of a
49:29third period.
49:30You know the whole bench is up and ready to go.
49:32They want the call.
49:34Less than 60 seconds to play in this tight one.
49:38We'll get a face-off after the puck stays covered up.
49:41The car's been on fire lately.
49:43Everything he throws at the net seems to be going in.
49:46When it's working for you, you've got to be confident.
49:48You feel like nothing can go wrong.
49:52St. Petersburg's won the draw.
49:56Takes the shot.
49:58That's blocked by Wedgwood.
50:00In front of the net, the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
50:06A big face-off here inside the offensive end.
50:14And off the draw, they win possession.
50:17Colorado's moving it along the wing.
50:20Shot!
50:21Denied by Marazzo.
50:23Picked up along the boards by O'Connor.
50:25Good defensive stop at the post-champ.
50:29Kaepernick's gaining momentum.
50:32Moves the puck.
50:35Pusses it over.
50:36Pushes it across for O'Connor.
50:39Slides it on over.
50:40Not on one with the goaltender.
50:42Oh, stop it!
50:44Wow!
50:45Critical juncture of the game in the third period.
50:47You're still close, and then you stop and deny a breakaway like that.
50:51I mean, ice in the veins right now, James.
50:54Really message sending to his team as well.
50:56They've got to get going.
50:58Both teams are set.
50:59They're ready to drop the puck.
51:05Colorado's won the draw.
51:06Now let's see what they can do with it.
51:08Tries the slapper!
51:10Trying to come up with a huge defensive play to get this puck out of his own end.
51:18There's the buzzer.
51:1960 minutes of play has solved absolutely nothing.
51:23So let's go to overtime.
51:24And we'll do that next here on EA Sports.
51:27Don't forget to be a member of our rookie team.
51:30You'll have the opportunity to have a couple of players by our reps after the game.
52:41One will win, one will lose.
52:44Overtime will tell the story.
52:48Looking for a heroics here as they get underway in overtime.
52:52Sidesteps the check.
52:54A choice for the win.
52:55And he denies him with a monstrous save here in overtime.
53:02Wedgwood's made a great save here.
53:03Let's have another look at it.
53:04I mean, they're in a high danger area and he is so dialed in at the top of his crease.
53:08Very athletic to be able to make this save.
53:10Incorrect position.
53:18A critical draw here.
53:25The Bears take possession here inside the offensive zone.
53:30Struble's got the puck near the back end.
53:34St. Petersburg's got it on the line.
53:38Dishes it off.
53:41And he takes the feed.
53:44Moves it to McKinnon.
53:46With some open space here in the neutral zone.
53:49Moves it to the middle.
53:51Oh, he comes up with a stop.
53:53Shuts him down.
53:55It's amazing to me how he always looks like he's in the right position because he tracks
53:58and reads the play so well.
54:00And this time he gets in front of the puck.
54:01It's right in the middle of the ice as the shooter's got a dangerous opportunity.
54:07Colorado's got it across the line.
54:10Here's a shot.
54:11And he keeps that one out.
54:13The Bears have it against the wall.
54:16Here they come up along the wing.
54:20The Avs get a hold of the puck in their own end.
54:24And now it's grabbed by Natchez.
54:26He's not going to gain up the stick.
54:28Oh, he can't pull the trigger on the play.
54:30It does because he's skating himself into no man's land.
54:33Ran out of real estate and gets nothing for it.
54:35They can light down one.
54:39Loose puck and they're off to the races.
54:43St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the way.
54:47The Avs are going to work on offense.
54:49Nice stop by Russell.
54:51Goal!
54:52The stick!
54:53Scores!
54:54They take it in overtime!
55:07What an effort by this team out there tonight!
55:16That's what you call having a knack for the net, James.
55:18When you get in tight and you're sniffing around, you better get that puck off quickly
55:22because you know there's defenders all in around you that are going to come and close.
55:42They're giving us the go-home cue, so we're going to get out of here.
55:45Thanks so much for joining, and we'll see you next time here on EA Sports.
56:19We'll see you next time.
56:31We'll see you next time.
56:50We'll see you next time.
56:51Bye.
56:51Bye.
56:51Bye.
56:56Bye.
56:58Bye.
