01:01denied by the goaltender
01:03we often talk about reflexes with goaltenders and i mean she found this puck at the last second
01:07and it's all of her instincts and reflexes to be able to make this save
01:10still plenty of time left in this frame

12:40here as they've put
12:41a lot of picks
12:42on that so far
12:43and she had the answer
12:45on that attempt
12:48inside the final minute
12:49of the first here
12:53Toronto's got a hold

13:04zone
13:07Vancouver's got

13:09end
13:10Hawk moves over

13:17the first period
13:18is in the books
13:19both teams

13:28of the war meal
13:29and Bumsville
13:30and Burger's
13:30family restaurants
14:01and Bumsville
14:01is in the playoffs
14:01in the highest
18:33And that's hooked away.
18:35And that's hooked away.
19:03And there's the save.
19:05And there's the save.
19:15And there's the save.
20:03The more active team.
20:05And there's the save.
20:12And there's the save.
20:26And there's the save.
20:31Pucks scooped up by Nurse.
20:34From center, they get him to the attacking area.
20:38Big save in front.
20:40And the pucks on the inside of the ice,
20:41in particular the low slot.
20:43The goaltender has to get to position quickly.
20:45She does that.
20:46She sets, she challenges, and she makes the save.
20:51Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
20:55The Scepters look to start the transition game.
20:59Ditched on over to Jakes.
21:03Takes it to the front.
21:04Taken by Flanagan.
21:07Great reach by Manasova.
21:12Slides it back to the blue line.
21:16Takes the feed from off the boards.
21:20Oh, overrides.
21:22Puck picked up by Greco.
21:24And that carries off a stick.
21:26And that slides right out to center ice.
21:30And it scores, scores!
21:32And they're cooking now.
21:34The opponent has no answer for them right now.
21:36Because they're playing this on the property.
21:38Garners have been mentioned after multiple back-to-back board chains.
21:41They don't want to leave any breathing room and let their opponent get some life back.
21:45How many times have you seen this before?
21:46The play comes back in your own zone.
21:48There's a scoring chance that they're unable to convert on it.
21:50You get going the other way, and you're able to execute.
21:53It really is a 200-foot game.
22:07Toronto's having themselves a game tonight, and we are far from over here, too.
22:11Well, yeah, and it's a 200-foot game.
22:12It's complete because not only are they putting up some huge numbers on the board,
22:15they're also protecting their goaltender on defense, finding a way to have good posture
22:20when they need it.
22:21And, hey, retrieval's everything.
22:22When you have the puck, the other team doesn't.
22:25Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
22:54Oh, I just love that last save, James,
22:56because it's the compete, the will that it takes to find that shot.
23:00And, you know what?
23:01Goaltending coaches, all they want you to do is be in the right positions.
23:04You're always working on the ABCs of goaltending.
23:06But I'll tell you what, this is instincts,
23:08and instincts make saves when you need to be desperate.
23:20Toronto's dominated right from the start.
23:22Their offense clicking on all cylinders, and they lead here in the second.
23:28The Scepters take possession here inside the offensive zone.
23:32Oh, I think some are still wondering how she kept that one out.
23:37Dishes it off!
23:38Pushes it away with a blocker.
23:42Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
23:46Moves up near the blue line.
23:47Looks to set up at the point.
23:54Quick feeds it hard.
23:56Tosses it to Comfort.
23:59Gaining momentum along the boards.
24:02Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
24:04Moves it to Kevon.
24:09And now it's grabbed by Daniel.
24:11That's grabbed by Kirk.
24:13This is a fantastic save, James, from that area in the slot.
24:16Such a dangerous position for the shooter to be in.
24:19And man, she just takes it away.
24:21Tracks it perfectly.
24:22The Scepters have been the better team.
24:24Leading in the shot department, and they lead it on the scoreboard.
24:30Precies the pass.
24:32Feeds it over.
24:33Slides it across.
24:35Passes it over.
24:37Takes her shot.
24:38Oh, she's got a piece of it to keep it out.
24:45More than half the frame has been played here.
24:493-0 is where we sit.
24:51One team really enjoying this night.
24:53The other, not so much.
24:56Torotos won the defensive zone draw.
24:59They try to maintain position inside the defensive zone.
25:03Tries to feed it over to Woods.
25:08And she's got a piece of it.
25:08Goes to Fox.
25:09Moves it quickly over to Fox.
25:12Great play as she dodges the pro jack.
25:14And that's knocked away by Kama.
25:17Oh, she gets one.
25:19Turned aside with a glove by Meshmeyer.
25:22Goaltender covers it up and we'll get a reset here.
25:27The Scepters have been putting lots of shots on net
25:30and have been rewarded for their efforts.
25:34Gollipins won the draw and they'll go on the attack.
25:37Big time stop.
25:39Dishes it off.
25:40Let's go!
25:42So she's on the meter now.
25:43That's her second of the night.
25:45While the puck's just following her around,
25:46or she's following it, James, because she knows where it's at,
25:49because she's finishing it off.
25:50What a game for her.
25:53Coaches love this type of goal, James,
25:55because it validates what they preach.
25:56Good defensive hockey and being responsible.
25:58And they are. They're in good posture defensively,
26:01and she makes a great reach.
26:02She's got her stick on the ice.
26:03She's got quick hands, and she intersects that pass.
26:06And as a result, it winds up in the back of the net.
26:11Toronto spit on her roll all night long,
26:13and they continue to show low signs of slowing down here in period number two.
26:18Yeah, they're not taking their foot off the gas pedal here, James.
26:21They've been pushing and pressing all the game long,
26:23and look at the scoreboard.
26:24It's the reason why they're ahead.
26:26Heads it over.
26:28Slides it across.
26:28Heads!
26:29Here's a short pass to Woods.
26:32Takes the pass.
26:35Vancouver's got the puck here in the open ice.
26:37Here we are!
26:38Here we are!
26:39Here we are!
26:44Passes it over!
26:46Pass back to the point.
26:48Denied by the defender.
26:49Nice block.
26:51Quick pass to Harmon.
26:53Tries to get the puck over to Dalton.
26:56Takes the shot.
26:57Turns it aside with the glove.
26:59And the goalie covers up for the whistle.
27:06The Scepters have been impressive to watch tonight.
27:09They've had a lot of shots on net, and they lead it here in the second.
27:13Nice start winning the draw here inside the offensive zone.
27:17Dismissed that chance.
27:19Works it across to Boreen.
27:22Vancouver's on the attack.
27:27Pass it for it!
27:28What a chance, but they can't connect!
27:33Grabbed along the boards by Faust.
27:36Cuffs it up on the play.
27:38Puck moved back to center, forcing them to regroup.
27:44Vancouver's game, possession along the boards.
27:47The Scepters have the puck now.
27:49Delayed penalty coming up here by the official.
27:53Russell Blake stopping the play.
27:55Rosenthal's going off for interference.
27:58James, sometimes you just don't have your A game,
28:01and tonight is one of those nights, I mean,
28:03they're trailing in this game by a large margin,
28:05and they've been placed into the penalty box.
28:07That's a tough penalty to take, but it's showing their frustration.
28:13The Scepters get their man advantage unit out there for the first time tonight.
28:17The first power play opportunity of the game.
28:19You know they've worked on this.
28:21In fact, just the setup, the hook that they want.
28:23Let's see how they move the puck around the perimeter and look to attack.
28:26And she had the answer on that save.
28:29Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
28:32Nice job to escape the zone.
28:36The Scepters get a hold of the puck in their own end.
28:40Moves it over to Comper.
28:42And it's poked away in the neutral zone.
28:44Nice heads up play there.
28:48Takes the feed at the back end.
28:51Gains control of the puck here at the blue line.
28:54Quick feed to Greco.
28:55Nice defensive robbery on that.
28:59Cup grab by Turnbull.
29:02Here's a shot!
29:03That's gloved by Reschmeyer.
29:06Goaltender covers up.
29:07We've got a stoppage and play.
29:12Miller's gliding in for the faceoff as this penalty kill will continue.
29:20The Scepters win the faceoff.
29:22Watts is so difficult to contain tonight.
29:25She's already got two goals in the game, and you know she's going to drive the net.
29:31Looking to break out here on the power play.
29:35Woods picking up steam.
29:38Lee pass ahead.
29:40Fires it on net.
29:41And she uses the trapper to snare it at the logo.
29:49Still some precious time left on this power play as they get set to drop the puck.
29:57And they win the draw in the offensive zone, and they go to work.
30:01She blocked it!
30:02Well, she does a great job too, James.
30:04She anticipates and recognizes that she's going to have to lead with her stick to be able to get in
30:07front of that puck.
30:08Does a great job, good quick feet, and takes that puck away from the net front.
30:12Cavers a shot!
30:13Oh, what a stop!
30:16Nurse is lugging the puck.
30:18Vancouver's in on the offensive attack now.
30:21Here's a feeder turn!
30:23And she denies that opportunity!
30:26In front and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
30:31Allen's ready for the draw as they continue to be shorthanded here.
30:39The Scepters win it in the defensive zone!
30:42Tries to get the puck to Spooner!
30:45Yeah, they're handedly winning in this one, James, and they didn't execute on the power play, but there's a bunch
30:50of athletes on that team that want that job, and it's about executing to the best of their ability.
30:55You know they wanted it.
30:58Tries to get it off!
30:59Tries to get it off!
30:59Big-time save as she gives that one out on the paddling!
31:03Picked up along the wall by Allen!
31:07Sends a pass over!
31:10Vancouver's got the puck near the back end!
31:13Oh, the home team is reeling here inside the defensive zone, and the fans are nervous!
31:18Great save on the play!
31:21Covers it up, and we'll get a stoppage in play.
31:26The Scepters have spent the majority of tonight in the offensive zone, and they continue to lead big-time here
31:32late in the second.
31:36Toronto's taking possession in their own end!
31:40From the defensive side, they move the puck around!
31:44Quick pass to Turnbull!
31:46Moose it to Daniel!
31:48Gardner's gonna paint against the half wall!
31:52Moose it quickly over to Bell!
31:54Puck scooped up by Shelton!
31:57Sends the pass over!
32:00And tries to make a diagonal pass to Comfort!
32:03And not much on that one!
32:06The Scepters ready to go on the attack!
32:08And that shot goes nowhere as the lane was filled!
32:14And oh, she came up clutch just in time!
32:20There's the horn bringing period number two to an end!
32:2340 minutes down, 20 to go!
32:26Third period action is coming up!
32:28To get a short-term accuracy, friends are now for our shooting point-up!
32:33And for the front-up fans, we'll shoot a gun from the center-line to try another exciting prize!
32:38Nice!
32:40...
33:05Oh, my God!
33:06That was good!
33:06Mom!
33:08Sind all off the fully downloaded side,
37:18Okay, we played two-thirds of this one here tonight.
37:21What do you make of what you've seen in this one?
37:23The Scepters have been fantastic through 40 minutes of play, James.
37:26They've been good on both sides of the puck.
37:28They've gotten themselves a comfortable lead.
37:30Now it's about protecting it.
37:31You stay on it.
37:32Well, a sign that they have been rolled over just yet here, Cheryl.
37:37Well, any life is good life right now when you're looking at this kind of deficit, James.
37:41And if you're the goal scorer, you certainly feel good about yourself.
37:43But from a collective group and the units that are going out there, they're going to have to find a
37:47way to generate offense.
37:48And, hey, they're going to take some risks out here because they've got to get a few.
37:52Well, she does an amazing job to be able to get to open ice, to be available for the one
37:57-time shot, James.
37:58Now she still has to get to the puck, so perfect distribution right in her wheelhouse.
38:02And then she fires it home.
38:12Vancouver's got to find a way to continue to attack here now, right, Cheryl?
38:16Yeah, and they're going to do that by throwing defensive structure out the window and just pushing forward.
38:20You can expect four players to be involved in the attack when they get going north.
38:24Taken by Gardner.
38:27Here's a pass to the middle.
38:29And it goes off a stick.
38:31And off target.
38:32Kirk's going to hang on for a whistle.
38:36Well, she's in the foundation of this team tonight here.
38:39I mean, look at her saves throughout this game.
38:42Timely, big saves that are difference makers for her team
38:45and can really reset the momentum and the charge of her group.
39:01The Scepters have been the busier team offensively, and as a result, they lead it big time here in this
39:06third.
39:09Toronto's got a hold of the puck.
39:11Here's a short pass to Dalton.
39:13Down the left wing.
39:14They gain the zone.
39:17Fires it.
39:18Fires it.
39:18She sacrifices the body and steps in front of that shot.
39:24Vancouver's crossed the line and on the attack.
39:27Passes out front.
39:28And that's intercepted.
39:30Looks like we've got a penalty coming up here.
39:33Here's the chance to take advantage with the belayed penalty.
39:36They've got the extra attacker on the ice.
39:38Feeds it over.
39:40She scores!
39:43Coming off for water!
39:45This is an incredible shot, James.
39:47That sends the water bottle flying.
39:50I mean, it gets air.
39:53You can see that she's trying to battle to find the puck, James,
39:56as she's dropped to the butterfly in that default position,
39:58but there's so much presence in front of the net, though, screen,
40:01and she's unable to find it.
40:03Can't track it and be too clean.
40:14This sector's continued to bring up the score here in period number three.
40:18Well, it's just been a terrific collective effort.
40:21Now they're on the home stretch,
40:22and the coaching staff has a real opportunity to utilize their bench,
40:25rest their star players,
40:26and this is critical when you're in a long season.
40:29It gets in front of it.
40:36Dalton's been dialed in tonight,
40:37and every time she jumps the boards,
40:39you know that she's going to make something happen, James.
40:41I mean, she's got multiple points in this one,
40:43and her coach certainly knows that she has been a threat
40:46with and without the puck.
40:48And when you have the puck, you do something with it,
40:50and when you're off of the puck, you go to the net,
40:52good things happen.
41:06The Scepters are on cruise control here in this third period,
41:10leading big.
41:15And they take possession here in the offensive zone.
41:17Time to go on the attack.
41:19And makes the save.
41:21Toronto's got a hold of the puck now.
41:24Slips by the D.
41:26Slides across.
41:29Handles the puck at the point.
41:31Here's a shot.
41:32Takes someone right in the low-end.
41:38Watts finally connects on that one,
41:41and you can certainly tell that she is ecstatic.
41:43The body language says it all.
41:44She knows the chances, the quality scoring chances
41:47that she's had throughout this game.
41:49She's stuck with it, though.
41:50I feel like she's been skating really well.
41:52Her IQ has shown getting to the right pockets on the ice
41:54at the right time, and she finally connects.
41:57That feels good.
42:03We're still in the early stages of this period.
42:06Toronto's put on an excellent display of firepower,
42:09leading 5-1.
42:11Passes it over.
42:13Dishes it off.
42:15Handles the puck.
42:18Here's a shot on the shot.
42:22From against the wall, then to the open ice.
42:25Gaves it over.
42:25Gaves it over here.
42:27My, what a good, really got them hemmed in a year
42:29in their own zone.
42:32Handed it off to Miller.
42:34Oh, what a sacrifice of the body.
42:37Take it along the way.
42:39Here's the pass.
42:41Another pass.
42:43Here's the pass.
42:47Moving with it here in the offensive lane.
42:49And they score.
42:58I think this shot is a result of scanning the ice
43:01and recognizing where her teammates are, James.
43:04I mean, she elects to take this snapshot from a bad angle
43:06because she thinks that there's going to be a rebound
43:08that they can capitalize on.
43:10Instead, she winds up the goal score.
43:27Vancouver's recognized that they're not going to play run time here,
43:30so at least try to make it respectable.
43:33Respectable.
43:33And they can finish with physicality,
43:35and that's something that the staff will be telling them.
43:37And also look for everyone to be jumping into the attack,
43:41trying to get some pressure on their opponent
43:43and get some much-needed goals.
43:45Puck picked up by Thompson.
43:49Right up the gut into the offensive end.
43:53Picked up along the boards.
43:55Got it forward.
43:56And she makes the save.
43:58And she leaves everyone stunned
44:00after that desperation save there, James.
44:02I mean, look at the fans.
44:03Look at the bench.
44:04They cannot believe that she got to that puck.
44:06And these fans still buzzing about that speed
44:09a few moments ago.
44:11Look at them getting on their feet here now.
44:12They're getting on their feet because of that save she made.
44:15I mean, it was absolutely incredible,
44:16the desperation, the athleticism she showed within it.
44:19But now it's about recognizing her,
44:21and you know that she's got a little swagger right now,
44:23and I expect her to be dialed in all game
44:25because of the acknowledgement the fan base is giving her.
44:28Well, I thought I saw the goal light go on, James,
44:31but it did not.
44:32Why?
44:32Because she was able to get onto that puck right away.
44:35I mean, a sense of urgency, instincts, athleticism.
44:38You name it all, she had it.
44:40But most importantly,
44:41the battle and the compete to stop that puck.
44:43The Scepters are in the home stretch of this one
44:45here in the third period
44:46and lead by a wide margin.
44:49Toronto's won it.
44:50Now they'll draw on the attack.
44:52And that goes off a stick.
44:55Vancouver's got the puck along the boards.
44:57What's that?
44:58Looking for space inside the D-Zone.
45:01Turned aside with the glove by Meshmeier.
45:04In front of the net,
45:05and the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
45:08Miller's having a ton of fun out on the ice.
45:10You can tell by her body language
45:12and, of course, the way she's filling the net
45:13and distributing the puck.
45:15Her point streak is off the charts,
45:17and her team is responding beside her.
45:18Go on the line!
45:20Maureen's got on the offensive end.
45:22Blythe's got a kick!
45:24Frank saves him in tight.
45:27She handles the pass.
45:30Oh, wow!
45:33Vancouver's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
45:37Gaining speed through center,
45:39and here they come on the attack!
45:41Takes her!
45:42She scores!
45:46She scores!
45:52What a beautiful play
45:54as they catch their opponent
45:55blast-footed on transition,
45:57and they create the numerical advantage.
45:59Odd Man Rush perfectly executed.
46:01Speed, puck movement, and, of course, finish.
46:16Toronto's added yet another one here
46:18to the total tonight,
46:19and what a performance.
46:21Yeah, they've had the puck on their sit
46:22for the majority of this game.
46:24You know the coaching staff
46:24is going to be impressed.
46:26Hey, maybe they'll get the day off tomorrow.
46:28Puts it on the net!
46:30So, Mendes, save-in goal
46:32as she uses all of her stick to deny them.
46:35Action!
46:44The Scepters don't want to take their foot
46:45off the gas here in the third period,
46:47but they have a lot of padding
46:48with the lead that they've built.
46:52Rosenthal's won the draw inside her own end.
46:55That's a huge draw by the center, James,
46:57coming off an ice,
46:58and you know you need a change.
46:59You've got to find a way to win that
47:00and get out of your zone.
47:02Moves a pass in front,
47:03and it's blocked!
47:07Quick pass to Boreen!
47:12Slides it across!
47:14They're about to deflect it off someone in front.
47:17Oh, she gets blocked!
47:19And it's scored!
47:29I've got to tell you,
47:30this is so difficult to defend
47:31because she's going one way,
47:33and now all of a sudden the defender is on her,
47:35and she turns on a dime the other way,
47:38and it is so difficult to lead with your stick
47:40as a defender when you've lost spacing.
47:42She does it,
47:43she takes the advantage,
47:44and she drives to the net.
47:53Vancouver's fan base watching,
47:54streaming,
47:55taking this one in wherever,
47:56probably wondering,
47:57where was this earlier?
47:58Yeah, it's frustrating for an athlete
48:00when you know what you can play like,
48:02you know what your team can play like,
48:03you just don't perform,
48:04but late in the game here,
48:06they need goals,
48:07they need a pile of them
48:08if they even want to have an opportunity
48:09to get their tender out of the net.
48:13The Scepters get a hold of the puck along the boards.
48:18Directed over to Harmon.
48:20Into the offensive end,
48:22right up the middle.
48:24And the traffic neutralizes that threat.
48:28Marches in from the pole.
48:30Oh, what a save on her part.
48:32That thing was sizzling.
48:37The Scepters have shown no signs
48:39of stopping putting pucks on net,
48:41and they lead it here in this third.
48:45And they take possession
48:46after the defensive zone faceoff.
48:49Nurse is hooping in on the attack.
48:53Let's move to the middle.
48:54Oh, and they couldn't complete that.
48:57Kirk's gonna hang on to the puck for a whistle.
49:03The Scepters have looked sharp tonight.
49:05Lots of pucks on net,
49:07and a lot of goals as a result.
49:14Turnbull's won a big draw on their own end.
49:17Toronto's got a hold of the puck.
49:19Quick feed to Turnbull.
49:21They've got numbers here.
49:23They've set.
49:25Scores!
49:26She picks up the looks change
49:28and close it up.
49:31They used their speed on this counter attack
49:33and gave themselves an odd man advantage here, James.
49:36And what they did was they capitalized.
49:38They had multiple looks.
49:39They could pass it.
49:40They could shoot it.
49:40Goaltender couldn't figure it out.
49:42It winds up in the back of the net.
49:54Toronto's playing almost like
49:55they want a day off here tomorrow, Cheryl.
49:57Yeah, I'd say so,
49:58and we always look forward to a day off,
50:00and this coaching staff
50:01has got to be impressed with this team tonight.
50:03The ability to get the puck to net,
50:05driving the pace of play,
50:07and just having really great habits,
50:09consistent effort right through the game.
50:11Loose it to fast.
50:12Sets it out front.
50:13And she denies that opportunity.
50:16And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up.
50:22Both teams gliding into position,
50:24and the official set to drop the puck.
50:30The Scepters will go to work here in the offensive zone.
50:33And a great scene!
50:36Great positioning by the goaltender
50:38to redirect it to the corner,
50:39getting it out of danger.
50:41And now it's grabbed by Harmon.
50:45What an entertaining game, James.
50:47A lot of goal calls for you
50:48as it's been back and forth action in the offensive zones.
50:52Not much defensive structure to this one
50:53as everyone's looking to attack.
51:07Sets it in front, and that's blocked in front.
51:11Dalton's looking to make something happen here in the corner.
51:14Oh, and she comes up with a big-time save after that cannon!
51:18There's the whistle.
51:19We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
51:23The Scepters can simply take this on cruise control
51:26based on the lead that they now have here in the third.
51:30Dalton's won the draw here, and they'll go on the attack.
51:33And it's a score!
51:35And that's back-to-back snipe!
51:37Well, it feels like there's a wave of momentum,
51:39and it has certainly changed here.
51:41You can get the opportunity,
51:43but you have to execute.
51:44That's two in a row.
51:46She thinks she has most of the net covered,
51:49but unfortunately, she doesn't.
51:50And she just leaves the inside of the post available,
51:52and the shooter makes no mistake a perfect shot.
52:12The Scepters continue to attack the net here in period number three,
52:16adding yet another goal to their score.
52:18Well, it's been all areas of the game
52:20that have really been terrific tonight, James.
52:22I've also enjoyed the communication that we're seeing on the ice,
52:25not just the body language, but also the vocalness.
52:28I mean, they're creating all over the ice,
52:30and it's been real fun to watch.
52:35Oh, what a move!
52:36Oh, what a move!
52:37Cup grab by Boreen.
52:40And she turns that one aside.
52:42Grabs the puck in the corner.
52:44Moves it quickly over to Jake's.
52:46The Scepters get a hold of the puck.
52:49And she shakes off a check.
52:52She's got two goals in the game, looking for her third.
52:55And she blocks it!
52:56Well, it was such an area, a great-age scoring chance.
52:59I don't even think she's got it.
53:00She's just had instincts relied on him and got in front of it.
53:02And that's intercepted in the defensive end.
53:06Vancouver's got the puck against the half wall.
53:12Angles it over to Greco.
53:14Beautiful read in the defensive end by Maltain.
53:17Here's a shot!
53:18And she was in great position to read that one!
53:21Stoars!
53:23And look at the play from the goaltender
53:25after the bat went off someone in front.
53:29You can just see the frustration on her face
53:31in her body language here, James,
53:33as that puck just deflects off of her
53:35in front of the net and winds up in her own net.
53:52The Scepters probably don't want this game
53:54to end the way things have gone here.
53:56I know we're in period number three,
53:57but Cheryl, what a nightmare.
53:59Yeah, it's been terrific right from puck talk,
54:01and they've been consistent throughout the game,
54:03and consistency's always a word that coaches talk about.
54:06If they can finish this off with this nice lead,
54:08that's the word the coach is going to be preaching
54:10after the game.
54:11That's blocked!
54:13Takes it along the wall by Turnbull.
54:16Here's a chance!
54:18That goes off a twang!
54:22Under siege, and finally grabs that one
54:25and covers up for a whistle.
54:29The Scepters have had no shortage of scoring opportunities tonight,
54:32and they have capitalized,
54:34and look at the score as a result.
54:38Toratos won the faceoff.
54:40Oh, she makes the save,
54:42and that really packed a punch!
54:48Toratos looking to close things out here
54:50late in this third period
54:51as they continue to lead.
54:56Turnbull's won the faceoff,
54:58and she'll put her team on the attack.
55:02Yeah, Mike!
55:03Mike's it!
55:10Looks like lineups are set,
55:12and they're ready to get things back underway.
55:18Corato's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
55:21Big time stop there!
55:24Vancouver's got it across the line!
55:27Final minute regulation here,
55:30and it should be it.
55:31Puck scooped up by Turnbull.
55:35Through center along the wing.
55:37Oh, and she avoids the poke check!
55:40Vancouver's got control of it now
55:41from their own end.
55:43They gain the offensive zone from the middle.
55:48Trace in front!
55:49Nice save from point blank range.
55:52But there's not much room for the shooter to move in,
55:54and she recognizes it,
55:56and she gets right out,
55:57makes herself as big as possible,
55:58and makes the save.
56:01Vancouver's got the puck in the defensive end.
56:05Takes the feed, moving in.
56:11Final seconds of this one,
56:13and the home fans certainly appreciate that they got their money's worth tonight.
56:17She gets all of it with the big power there.
56:22Here's a shot!
56:24It is all over!
56:26And you can chop up another victory for a team that is playing a lot of confidence right now.
56:31I mean, they've got a winning streak going,
56:33and any time you have something like that going,
56:35you just feel like you're going to win when you step onto the ice,
56:38and you're confident, you've got swagger,
56:39and everything seems to be clicking.
56:41You've got to love, and you've got to really embrace when it feels like that.
56:45Thanks so much for taking time out of your schedule to join us tonight.
