00:08St. Petersburg's got the advantage
00:10having won the last contest in this rivalry.
00:13Obey Kubel's physicality and ability to clog lanes
00:17was a difference maker in the last encounter.
00:19Meyer's physicality forced a number of turnovers
00:21the last time he played them.
00:23Two stars, a whole lot of dislike,
00:26and they're ready to clash again tonight.
00:31Centers are gliding into center,
00:33and you can feel the tension here in the building.
00:39Let's do this.
00:40The puck is dropped right away.
00:42And he slides in quickly to Glenn Denning.
00:45And that's stopped by Markstrom.
00:48Here's a short pass to Heesner.
00:50Can't hang on to the biscuit after that.
00:54St. Petersburg's got the puck against the boards.
00:57Oh, that just goes wide.
00:59Players work too hard to have the puck on their stick
01:01and to get to scoring areas to not hit the net.
01:05Even if they don't score,
01:06that's going to rebound if they at least hit the jungle.
01:08Oh, what a save if he gets that one, too!
01:11You can certainly tell that the goaltender
01:13has dialed in on that last sequence of saves, James.
01:16He's to position, so he finds a way
01:17to make multiple saves back-to-back.
01:21Oh!
01:22New Jersey's got the puck in their own end.
01:25I am not!
01:28That's a big time stop!
01:32Drills him!
01:33Some players get into the game
01:35by physically engaging early.
01:37There's a fine line there,
01:38but that was executed perfectly.
01:40And a nice save there as play continues.
01:43Now a quick pass by Obert Favrelle.
01:46Passes on foot!
01:48And he shots down a great scoring chance there!
01:51And look at this!
01:53They're really rushing up the intensity here!
01:55He shot!
01:56There's a collision!
02:00And he takes the pass.
02:04Pays it over!
02:05And cut that one out of the net!
02:07You know the goalie's dialed in
02:09when he redirects the puck to the corner.
02:11Denies him!
02:12And they'll cover it up,
02:13forcing a stop at some players.
02:17Often in two-game coaches will tell you
02:18you want to play heavy hockey,
02:20and that's exactly how this game has started for them.
02:22But it only starts when you have physical engagement,
02:25and that hit right there tells you they're ready,
02:27they're on point, and they're dialed in.
02:32Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
02:34That game is still scoreless.
02:37And Riggs won it off the face-off.
02:39And that pass attack is deflected.
02:43New Jersey's crossed the line and on the attack.
02:46Dishes it to Kovacic.
02:52Grabbed along the board by Siegenthal.
02:55Oh, and he drops it perfectly in the offensive end!
02:58Oh, what a blocker stop by Marstrom!
03:02The Devils moving ahead.
03:04They put the puck into the offensive end.
03:07The Bears scoop it up along the boards.
03:10Moose it quickly over to Stenland.
03:12They've got the defense outnumbered.
03:15New Jersey's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
03:18Broken up in the neutral zone by Stenland.
03:21Broken up with a stick in the defensive zone.
03:24Take it along the wall by Stenland.
03:27Takes the feed.
03:29Quick shot!
03:30Markstrom's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
03:37Still lots of time left in the period.
03:40We've still got zeros on the board.
03:45St. Petersburg's won the draw.
03:47And he can't hang on after that hit.
03:50Stopped by the goaltender.
03:52New Jersey's got a hold of it against the wall.
03:54There's another stop!
03:57Huck is frozen, and we get a stoppage in the left.
04:03Huck ready to drop here any moment to get things underway again.
04:10That's underway, and they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
04:16Takes that pass back to the puck.
04:20Slides it across!
04:21And he gets it off to keep it out!
04:24Takes the pass from his goaltender.
04:27Riffs arms in the air.
04:28We've got a penalty coming up.
04:30And the puck stop returns his man to get the extra temper on the ice.
04:35Fabry's getting two for an unsportsmanlike.
04:37Optin in a scrum.
04:38The official will warn you if he didn't heed that warning
04:41and takes a selfish unsportsmanlike penalty.
04:56Power play unit comes out for the face-off.
04:59Well, this top-rated power play unit gets their first opportunity
05:03to bite in this one, and man, is this ever fun to watch.
05:07He's won the face-off here in the offensive zone.
05:10Turn that one aside.
05:12There's another great save!
05:14What a stop!
05:15Now, James, has he ever dialed in in that sequence of saves?
05:19I mean, one, two, multiple saves here.
05:21He's got to help him out.
05:23And he gives it over to Brat.
05:26And that's a smart heads-up play by Lozog.
05:29And they'll get it out of the defensive end.
05:32The Devils get a hold of the puck along the boards.
05:36The pair is ready to go on the attack.
05:38The Devils have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
05:42Six by the check!
05:44And he's got that one!
05:46I'd say he has some fast-twitch muscle fiber in there
05:48because I'm telling you, he makes that save.
05:50I thought that was going in,
05:51but he just reacts and keeps it out of the net.
05:58St. Petersburg's got the puck shorthanded.
06:01Slides it across to O'Brien.
06:03They get it out of the defensive end.
06:06The Devils have it behind the net.
06:10Trying to get something going here with this man advantage
06:12as they start from their own end.
06:16Cage is coming up on the back end as they send the puck in.
06:19St. Petersburg's got the puck.
06:21Puck moved back to center, forcing them to regroup.
06:24And now it's grabbed by Hamilton.
06:28Picked up along the boards by Perron.
06:30And he sidesteps the check there.
06:32To his teammate!
06:33Moves the pass and touch!
06:36Oh, he comes up with a stop!
06:39And that's a solid clearing attempt on the play.
06:43Always some smooth skating to lose the defender there!
06:46And he avoids the play track with some great effort!
06:49Makes another stop!
06:51St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall!
06:54From behind the net!
06:56Takes a shot!
06:58And there's the same!
07:00Stooped up along the wall by Perron!
07:03St. Petersburg's killed the penalty!
07:05Well, this power play unit will not be happy.
07:07Not only didn't they execute, but they had a difficult time making even crisp passes and attacking scenes.
07:13They've got to be better!
07:14Passes it over!
07:16Oh, gets a little piece of it!
07:18And keeps it out of the net!
07:24Past the halfway mark of this period.
07:27Still no score in this one.
07:31And they win the draw on their own end.
07:34New Jersey's got it in their own zone!
07:38Great positioning by the defender!
07:40And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net!
07:48Teams are lined up and we are ready to take this draw.
07:55The Devils get a hold of the puck in their own end!
07:59Good use of the body on the play!
08:03New Jersey's got the puck!
08:08That's a hit on the play!
08:10Shot on net!
08:11That's blocked by Markstrom!
08:14Goaltender hangs on for the whistle!
08:16Goaltender!
08:18Goaltender!
08:22Goaltender!
08:23Goaltender!
08:26Goaltender!
08:28Goaltender!
08:28Heischer's won it in their own end!
08:30And he coughs it up with the pass!
08:32Quick pass to Samoa!
08:35New Jersey's grab a hold of the puck!
08:38Pushes it across to Heischer!
08:40Just an easy pass save here by Markstrom!
08:43Oh, it's about to get something to see!
08:46Scores!
08:47He puts it in on a second effort!
08:49Well, this goal will be in the video for him tomorrow, James, because it's second effort, and you know that
08:53coach is all mad.
08:56He's gonna finish this play, but I love how he starts it.
08:59It's all with a loose puck battle, and you have to have the tenacity and the fight within you to
09:03win this battle.
09:04It ain't easy when you got a defender right on you, but you figure it out, power it, and you
09:09take it to the net.
09:22The Bears have taken a 1-0 lead here past the midway mark in the opening frame.
09:26It hasn't been easy to get here, has it? We haven't seen any offense in this game, and they get
09:31the first one, and they have to find a way to continue.
09:33Where there's one, you gotta try and find two, continue to attack.
09:38Slides it on over to Skinner. Quick feed to Glass. Take-toes around the coach.
09:45St. Petersburg's looking to break out at their own end.
09:49Motion to Kapanen. Here's the chance on the attack. And that shot dies in traffic.
09:56The one-timer! And that ricochets out between and front.
10:01The Bears played along the wing. They are really buzzing here in the offensive end.
10:06Oh, there's a hit on the play! And he totally whiffs on that one.
10:12Oh, a great play to sidestick the perfect. And there's the save on the play!
10:18Turns the shot! Devies it again!
10:21These are the smallest big skills that some of these athletes have nowadays.
10:24They work on it continuously in practice.
10:26But to maintain possession while you're being jostled and shoved around,
10:30it's incredible to see the hand-eye coordination and the balance in this sequence to take it to the net.
10:39Here's a short pass to Palat.
10:45The Devils have it from their own end.
10:49St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
10:52Dishes it off! Fires it! Denies him on the slapper!
10:58Picked up along the wall by Cutter.
11:03Moves it quickly over to Burrows.
11:05The Bears have the puck now.
11:07Can't keep a hold of it.
11:09Puck clears the zone.
11:12The Bears look to start the transition game.
11:16Feeds it over!
11:18Big time save to the blocker!
11:21From off the wall and onto a stick.
11:24Perron's got it in the defensive end.
11:27And he passes it up ahead to Henrik.
11:30Stomping chip play as we get an offside.
11:35Getting into the later stages of this period.
11:381-0 the score.
11:42New Jersey's won the face-off deep in their own end.
11:46Pass behind the net.
11:48Heisner's got the puck in his own zone.
11:51They've got numbers here!
11:53Heads it over on the attack!
11:55Gives them nothing in front!
11:57He makes an incredible save on a point-flank shot here, James.
12:00I love the way he's aggressive.
12:01He's competitive and he wins the battle.
12:03Teams are ready for the draw.
12:05The linesmen about to drop the puck.
12:12Puck has dropped and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
12:16Now over to Grapp.
12:18Shot!
12:19With the stop.
12:21Takes the puck behind the net.
12:23The Bears look around to the puck.
12:26Oh, what an effort giving up the body there!
12:30From the top of the offensive zone here.
12:33Oh, how do they keep it out?
12:36What a water stop by Markstrom!
12:39St. Petersburg's got possession here in the offensive zone.
12:43He's got a little jump!
12:45He's in all alone!
12:47Not sure what happened there.
12:49Well, yeah, it looks like he was going left and he was going right,
12:52but his inability to convert because he ran out of room.
12:55And slides it across!
12:57We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
12:59And here we go!
13:18Ding, ding!
13:20There is the battle to wrap this one up!
13:223, 2, 1, chop it out!
13:26Good night!
13:32The Bears have created a buzz in the building
13:35as everyone's standing on their feet,
13:37cheering their guy on in this fight.
13:42Both teams had a chance for a little reset
13:44as they step in for the face-off.
13:49Henriquez won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
13:53St. Petersburg's got control of it now
13:55here in the offensive end.
13:57Passes it over!
14:00Fans, what a shot here in the 30 seconds of the period!
14:04Shot!
14:05Oh, what a stop there with time-wide again!
14:11That'll do it for period number one.
14:13We'll drop the puck on the second period in just moments.
14:15And you can take the entrevist,
14:18where we have any extra footage,
14:23we'll do two rounds in the fight!
