00:06Hi, everybody, I'm James Sobalski for EA Sports.
00:09There's been a consistent narrative on this road trip
00:12as we close things out tonight.
00:14Eat, sleep, win, repeat.
00:18Oh, this building's electric, and both teams are set to go.
00:24The Frost have won the opening faceoff
00:27and take possession here at the start.
00:29Oh, part of a line as she gets in front of that one.
00:32Quick pass to Daniel.
00:35Tries it to the crease.
00:40Handles it along the blue line.
00:42Oh, that throws off one of her own teammates there in front.
00:46Down the right side and into the zone.
00:50Vancouver's got to hold a bit against the wall.
01:04Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
01:06The game is still scoreless.
01:14And they take possession after the defensive zone faceoff.
01:19On the attack, into the offensive end, right up the top.
01:23The Frost have possession along the boards.
01:28Vancouver's got it in the neutral zone.
01:31Sends the feet in front, and she denies that opportunity.
01:36Pass to Coyne.
01:39Lights by the tip.
01:44Heisey's off to the races, and the crowd on their feet right now.
01:48Well, fans certainly love when the puck is on her stick,
01:50because all they need to do is remember the last game
01:53when she had that overtime winner, James, against this rival opponent.
01:57She says no way to that.
02:00And she's going to hang on for the whistle,
02:02a much-needed one after all that anarchy in front.
02:05Well, she recognizes the chaos, the loss of coverage,
02:07and she just jumps on that one
02:09and gives her team an opportunity to reset and slow the game down.
02:13Minnesota's won the defensive zone draw.
02:16Buckbinders loving the puck, and now it's over to Subwanker.
02:21Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
02:25She takes the feed.
02:28Down the left wing, across into the offensive end.
02:32Sends it to the middle, and that doesn't connect.
02:36Takes that pass back at the point.
02:40Presses it over.
02:44Dishes it off.
02:45And that shot dies in traffic.
02:50Turned aside by Hensley.
02:52Huck steeped up by Buckbinder.
02:54Hensley's been doing this all year, James.
02:57She's been so effective in the crease,
02:58as indicated by her save percentage.
03:00And every time she's in the net,
03:01her team has an opportunity to win.
03:04Huck picked up by Nurse.
03:06Great save from in tight.
03:08Picked up along the way by Nurse.
03:09Oh, what a beautiful close save.
03:18Still lots of time left here in this frame.
03:21We're still scoreless.
03:24And off the draw, they win possession.
03:26Possession!
03:27Minnesota's looking to break out.
03:30Quick feed to Petrie.
03:32Right up, mean straight out of the attack.
03:35An easy save by Nashmeyer.
03:37She does a great job of controlling this puck and pushing it to the corner,
03:41and no second shot off of Trinity's great rebound control.
03:46Moves the puck into the attacking area.
03:53Vancouver's game, possession along the boards.
03:57Handles the puck.
03:58And that's broken up.
04:01Brinks it, rips it.
04:03Wow, Shoya just prevented a goal.
04:05Well, that's a huge block, taking away a grade-A scoring chance,
04:07but you have to have courage in the wrongness to get in front of them.
04:10And a blocked shooting lane from one of her own teammates prevents that from going through.
04:17Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
04:20And here's the pass to Kava.
04:21Oh, Shoya!
04:29The centers are lined up, and we are ready to resume.
04:38Kaisis won the draw.
04:39The coach and team reminding each other that this is a critical phase-off.
04:44Any time you've got your opponent on their heels after an icing,
04:47you have to find a way to have urgency and attack.
04:50Picked up along the boards by Breathbinder.
04:53Moves it to Coyne.
04:56Takes the puck at the point.
04:58Play is called for offside.
05:12Minnesotus won the draw in the neutral zone.
05:15Showing off her edge work there.
05:18Oh, she scores!
05:29Any time you have numbers off the rush, you typically have speed,
05:32as indicated right here, James.
05:33You're trying to create two-on-one, you have neck drive,
05:36you got it all, and you bury it.
05:51The Frost have been pushing,
05:53and they finally break through with the game's first goal.
05:56Yeah, they capitalized finally, James,
05:58and that's the execution they needed,
06:00but there's not much ice out there,
06:02not much separating these two teams,
06:03so this next shift to create and continue that momentum
06:06is really important.
06:07And that's blocked.
06:09Taken by Jakes.
06:12Vancouver's got a hold of the puck.
06:14Moves it quickly over to Cavill.
06:18Vancouver's regained possession of the puck.
06:23And now it's grabbed by Greco.
06:28Gains it over!
06:29Daniels working it around in the corner.
06:32Uh-uh!
06:33Beautiful defensive effort.
06:35And it gets nowhere near the net block for the play.
06:38The whole team is really under siege here in their own end.
06:47Past the midway mark of the frame,
06:50we got a 1-0 game at this point.
06:54Panic's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
06:57Works it across to Brunerak.
06:59And she was in a great position to read that one.
07:02Takes a shot.
07:03And that doesn't reach the net.
07:09Minnesota's got the puck in the defensive end.
07:15Into the corner of the attacking area.
07:18Here's a shot!
07:19And that's blocked from Southern in front.
07:23Swatted away with the stick in the defensive zone.
07:27Miller's got it in the defensive end.
07:30Into the offensive end, right up the middle.
07:34And just like that, comes up with the puck.
07:37Great little flick of the stick.
07:40Sunwinkle's got it into offensive territory.
07:43Makes the save.
07:45Graps the puck in the corner.
07:47Strikes it and rips it!
07:49Tremendous defensive ever.
07:50Now she lays down the block.
07:52Oh, and she comes in big again to turn them away!
08:01Vancouver's had plenty of good looks here so far in the first,
08:05but they still tread.
08:10And as the puck is dropped,
08:11they win the draw here inside the defensive zone.
08:15Vancouver's got a hold of it along the wall.
08:19Slides it across!
08:20Slides it across!
08:21There's the save!
08:22The frost of the puck at the right end.
08:25And here's the pass to Young.
08:28Great play as she dodges the poke check.
08:31And she steps in front of it for the block.
08:34Hey, hey!
08:35Vancouver's on the attack.
08:38Shot!
08:39Makes the save!
08:40What a reaction with the blocker!
08:41And that's out of reach
08:43and out of the offensive zone.
08:50The frost had taken possession along the wall.
08:54Slides the puck over.
08:56Slides it across to Thompson.
09:01Shot!
09:02Tremendous!
09:03They're still in the wall!
09:04And that's a game to have goals!
09:07Well, nothing like Richard Manez
09:09and putting your opponent on their heels
09:11and then he turned around
09:12back-to-back.
09:14You make my right.
09:17That's a great goal, James.
09:18She's in that low-zone slot area.
09:19She doesn't have much room at all.
09:21That quick flick of the wrist
09:22and the puck's in the net.
09:23Natural goal scorer.
09:44Vancouver's still trailing here
09:46in this opening period
09:47despite excellent scoring opportunities
09:49in the offensive zone.
09:51Minnesota's gonna start off
09:52with a puck here in the neutral zone
09:53after winning that face-off.
09:55Here's a short pass to Pearl.
09:58Oh, she keeps that one out of the net.
10:00Goaltender covers up.
10:01We've got a stoppage and play.
10:05Getting into the later stages
10:07of this period.
10:08Minnesota's really controlled
10:09the pace of play
10:10these last few minutes
10:11leading by two.
10:13Quick shot!
10:15Oh, that's gotta hurt.
10:16What a play.
10:19Keningsteen here on the attack.
10:21Great heads up play
10:23by the offender.
10:26Pushes it over.
10:27Turns it away.
10:29She reads this play perfectly, James.
10:31The shooter has nowhere to go.
10:33Tight to the neck.
10:33She recognizes it, challenges,
10:35and gives no space.
10:38Vancouver's got the puck along the boards.
10:40Out of touch!
10:42Takes the feed from the wing.
10:43Out of touch!
10:47Minnesota's got it in their own zone.
10:49Quick pass to Coyne.
10:53Vancouver's got the puck
10:54inside the defensive zone.
11:00In to the middle!
11:02Stop in front!
11:04Referee signals penalty
11:06coming up here
11:07with a delayed call.
11:08Here's the chance
11:09to take advantage
11:10with a delayed penalty.
11:11They've got the extra attacker
11:12on the ice.
11:14There's the whistle
11:15and here's the call.
11:17Corrine's going off
11:18for interference.
11:19This can be an interference call, James,
11:21and she steps in the way
11:23of her opponent
11:24and just impedes
11:25that forward movement.
11:26Anytime you do that
11:27and the official's there,
11:28you're gonna get the call.
11:36The first penalty kill
11:37of the game
11:38for this group here
11:39and we know
11:39their penalty kill
11:40is right from the bottom
11:41of the league
11:42but this group's got
11:42a lot of confidence,
11:44a lot of energy.
11:44They just might be able
11:45to shut down
11:46this power play.
11:47The Frost have it now.
11:49Trying to get out
11:50of the defensive end.
11:52Puck grabbed by Pack
11:54and that will stop.
11:56Puck is frozen
11:57and we're gonna face off.
12:03Miller's waiting
12:04for the tries
12:04and we'll continue
12:05to try to kill off
12:06this penalty.
12:12Innocent has got it
12:13and they're on the attack.
12:15The ref's arms
12:16in the air.
12:16We got a penalty coming up.
12:18Wessel Blow
12:19stopping the play.
12:21Miller's going off
12:22for interference.
12:24She gets in the way
12:25of her opponent
12:26just enough
12:27and long enough
12:28that she's gonna get
12:29the interference call
12:30here.
12:40Minnesota's got a 5-on-3
12:42and lots of charm
12:43on their side.
12:44In a 5-on-3
12:45you have advantages
12:46all over the ice
12:47in the offensive zone
12:48but you still can move.
12:49You can move
12:50and isolate players.
12:51When you do this
12:52you create movement,
12:53more opportunities.
12:54That's exactly how you can't do that.
12:56You're gonna find your way
12:57marching over to the box.
12:59Why not get on the...
13:00Score!
13:01So there's this
13:02like a couple of players.
13:05Well, it's a delaying call
13:06and it almost looks
13:07as that defensive structure
13:09collapses
13:09and then
13:10they take advantage.
13:13Well, she doesn't sit around
13:14and watch the shot there, James.
13:15She has timing
13:16to fight for the space
13:17and that rebound.
13:19She's got lots of bodies
13:19around her.
13:20She doesn't care.
13:21She's gonna compete for it.
13:22She's got the courage
13:23to get to the dirty areas
13:24and she puts it away.
13:27Panic's ready for the draw
13:28as we get set
13:29to resume this power play.
13:33Face-off here
13:34in the neutral zone
13:35and we are back underway.
13:38Trying to clear
13:39and the puck sails
13:41into the bench
13:41forcing a stoppage of play.
13:46Nurse is gliding in
13:47for the face-off
13:48as this penalty kill
13:49will continue.
13:56Minnesota's got the puck
13:57inside the offensive zone.
13:59And a great save!
14:01Oh, turns it aside
14:03once again!
14:04Well, that sequence
14:05has to give her team
14:06a ton of confidence there, James.
14:07I just find that she's
14:08really balanced
14:09in her positioning.
14:10She's seeing everything
14:11and she's tracking the puck.
14:13Steps inside the line.
14:15Shot!
14:16A quick save!
14:18Great positioning
14:19by the goaltender
14:20of the region.
14:21Let's go!
14:22What a special team
14:23to Spencer!
14:24I can do the same thing!
14:25That's the command
14:26of the puck
14:26and the way they're
14:27using the space
14:28in the offensive zone
14:29here, James.
14:30They're manipulating
14:30the PK
14:31and it's coming out
14:32and they're finding
14:33a way to get
14:33lanes to the net.
14:49Minnesota's offense
14:50is shining bright tonight.
14:52Everything they put on net
14:54seems to find
14:55the back of it.
14:56And they lead it
14:56late in the first.
14:59She handles the feed.
15:01Knocked off the puck.
15:03Slides the pass
15:04over to Kava.
15:05Quick feed to Daniel.
15:09The point on the post!
15:14Well, the play might come
15:15to an end for a few minutes
15:16at the end of this period,
15:17but the coaching
15:18never stops.
15:19I'm sure there'll be
15:20a few messages
15:20and a few words
15:21and we'll be back
15:22but period number two
15:23in no time.
15:24The final is our team
15:25Holesley Coole.
15:27We will have a statement
15:28on the inside cover
15:29of your program
15:29throwing its expenses
15:31to receive your team
15:32Holesley.
15:50in the nextض郊.
15:50The final is our team
16:00for as we will
16:00have a lobed
16:00will be out of here.
17:59Well, they've got a mountain to climb, but at least have started the escalation.
18:03Well, yeah, they're not at the base of the mountain anymore, but I'll tell you, they're looking up, and it's
18:08a long way to go.
18:09They're going to have to dig in, put their work boots on if they want to claw their way back
18:12into this one, James.
18:14Anytime you're in the low slot area, you've got to get it on and off your stick in a hurry,
18:18and that one's going to come off the backhand, shovel it towards the net.
18:21She got it off quickly. Good thing because she was being hounded net front.
18:34Vancouver's got to find a way to build on this now. This is the time.
18:38It certainly is, James, and that's something to build off. When you get a goal, you can't sit idly by
18:42like you have all game.
18:44You have to find a way to execute and create some momentum and more offense if they want to get
18:48back in the game.
18:51Takes it along the wall by Gardner.
18:55Takes the fiend.
18:57The Frost have taken possession at their own end.
19:01Gains the zone from the right side.
19:05Takes the shot.
19:07Stopped by the blocker.
19:08Her eyes are already standing, and her body is following here, and she has to make an instinctual save at
19:14the last second, and she gets it.
19:18Minnesota's offense has come to play in a big way as they've dominated both the shots and goal category.
19:27Vancouver's going to start with the puck in their own end.
19:33They gain possession here inside the neutral zone.
19:38Vancouver's got a hold of it against the wall.
19:42Minnesota's got possession at center.
19:46And offside will get a reset here.
19:53Minnesota's really put the pressure on here offensively, and they lead in the second.
20:01And off the draw at center, they take control of the puck.
20:05Gains the zone.
20:07There we go.
20:08Pops in front, and that goes off a stick.
20:12Puts it on that, and there's the save.
20:15Mashmire's made a nice save there, and that's exactly what she needs to do to create some confidence and momentum
20:20as her team moves forward in this game.
20:22But as a collective unit, they just need to be better in all three zones if they want to get
20:26back in it.
20:29Panic's got it.
20:30Now they'll look...
20:31Now they'll look...
20:31They're going to go to the side.
20:32There's the counter control of the push.
20:35Now is the answer back.
20:36Well, they answer back.
20:37They take the wind or momentum out of their opponent's sails.
20:41This is exactly what they needed to get back on the board and get the momentum shift back in their
20:45favor.
20:47Really nice job by the net front player to recognize where the goaltender is in the crease and move accordingly.
20:53I think for the goaltender, though, you've got to find a way to fight through that traffic and find the
20:57puck.
21:09The front have dominated this one from the moment the puck dropped and the first, and look who we are
21:14here now in period number two.
21:15Well, this is a team that honed in and came ready to play.
21:18I mean, they sharpened their sticks, if you will, because they knew that they were going to win every puck
21:22battle.
21:23They've been first to it.
21:24They've been fast and had their legs underneath them, and they generated a ton of offense.
21:29And it's a quick pass to Nurse.
21:32Takes the feed.
21:34Comes up with a stop.
21:36Hensley's able to control that rebound, James.
21:39I mean, that is so important.
21:40I'm a former defender, and let me tell you, when you're able to put that puck to safety, you make
21:44everyone's job easier.
21:45Lay out on the plank.
21:47Beautiful defensive effort.
21:51Oh, nice use of the balls with the pink pass.
21:55Feeds it down low.
21:56Now they're really driving pressure in the ozone, dictating the pace.
22:00Now they've got to find a way to funnel it to the net.
22:06Here's a shot.
22:07High save.
22:08You've got to be better than that.
22:09Big save by the goaltender once again.
22:12She's doing everything she can to keep the puck out of the net right now.
22:15James, I mean, she's making consecutive saves.
22:21Makes a shot.
22:22Stopped by the goaltender, getting a piece of that one.
22:27Receives the pass.
22:28She scores!
22:30Right on point.
22:32Wow!
22:33That's just an incredible shot, James.
22:35That sends the water bottle fly.
22:37I mean, it gets there.
22:42I think she drops a little early here, James.
22:44And when she does, it opens up the top part of the net.
22:47And instead of going glove side, the shooter takes it.
22:49Everything they've got in that high six side.
23:11Vancouver's goal here in period number two gives them at least something to start working up that mountain.
23:16Yeah, they've been crushed all game.
23:17And if they're going to get up the mountain, it's going to be a contribution from across the board.
23:21They can't just be one player.
23:22It's got to be a collective unit that goes after it and attacks.
23:27Angleson over to Boreen.
23:29Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
23:32Moves it to Venezuela.
23:32Vanashova.
23:36Cut it to the slot.
23:40Kuroz lugging the puck.
23:42Moves it on over to Coyne.
23:44Slides the puck across to Flores.
23:49And that's intercepted by Vanashova.
23:52The Frost have gained possession off the wall.
23:55Stopped by the goaltender.
23:57And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up.
24:03Minnesota's offense came to play in a big way.
24:06And they lead big time here in the second.
24:12Heisey's won the draw here.
24:13And they'll go on the attack.
24:15Big time stop there.
24:17Well, when you're the last line of defense, you've got to do anything and everything to keep the puck out
24:21of your net.
24:21And that's exactly what she does.
24:23The shooter has point-plank range.
24:25And she makes the save.
24:26Dishes it off.
24:28Great defensive effort with the strike.
24:31Made the save on the play.
24:33The Frost have the puck against the boards.
24:37Scooped up along the wall by Coyne.
24:41Right up the gut into the offensive end.
24:44Stoppage in play as the puck goes up and over.
24:48We'll get a faceoff.
24:52Minnesota's got the decided edge in the shot department here tonight in the second period.
24:56And they continue to lead.
24:58Petrie's won the faceoff, and she'll put her team on the attack.
25:02Can't get it to go.
25:05Vancouver's looking to break out.
25:09Oh, she gets by.
25:12Gardner's got it around the wing.
25:14And she blocks it.
25:16Well, it was such an area, a grade-A scoring chance.
25:18I don't even think she's got it.
25:19She just had instincts relied on it and got in front of it.
25:23Takes the pass.
25:26Minnesota's got a hold of the puck.
25:28And tries to make a diagonal pass to Noel.
25:31Toss it up in the neutral zone.
25:34Nice speed from the left side up the middle.
25:37Great reach with the push-check by Steckline.
25:41Grabbed along the board by Brown.
25:44Moves the puck.
25:46And now it's over to Brown.
25:56More than half the frame has been played here.
25:59Minnesota's got a 5-2 lead.
26:06Miller's won the draw.
26:07They're drawing the attack.
26:10Here's a beating for him.
26:12Great defensive play to kick off the pass.
26:16Across the line.
26:19Fires it on net.
26:20Stops the rocket of a shot.
26:24Vancouver's got the puck from the defensive end.
26:27Off a stick and they can't connect.
26:32Reckles going to play and take corner.
26:34Denies that opportunity.
26:36Well, she's in great position to make that save.
26:38And when you're in good position,
26:39you can steer and control the rebound.
26:41And this one goes right to the corner.
26:43Minnesota's got the puck along the wall.
26:46Moves it up.
26:48And that slides right out to center ice.
26:54Grabs the puck.
26:56Slides it diagonally to Brown.
27:00Minnesota's got it across the line.
27:03The Frost have taken over in the neutral zone.
27:08Vancouver's looking to break out of their own end.
27:11Oh, look at this chance.
27:16Heads it over.
27:17Heads it over.
27:17Oh, what a score.
27:19Off the rebound.
27:20She was right there and pounced on it.
27:28Sometimes as an athlete, you just know when you've had one heck of a shift.
27:32And she knows.
27:33You can see it on her face and her body language right now.
27:35Because it all started with her.
27:37A loose puck battle won.
27:38And it finished with the goal.
27:40Her goal.
27:57Vancouver's finally got the counter punch they need.
28:00Now can they do it again, Cheryl?
28:02That's the question.
28:02Well, they need the knockout punch, don't they?
28:04And if they're going to get two and claw their way back in this one.
28:07But the momentum's in their favor right now.
28:09And it's their choice to do something with it.
28:12Fires it.
28:13Turned aside with the glove by Fashfire.
28:16And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
28:21Minnesota's coaches were preaching lots of shots on net.
28:24And they have done it and lead as a result here in the second.
28:28And they win the offensive zone faceoff.
28:30And here we go.
28:31Oh, kicked away.
28:32Nice pass saved by the goaltender.
28:39Here in the back half of this period.
28:42Vancouver's still down by two goals in this one.
28:46Panic's got the puck and they'll go on the attack.
28:49And the shot dies in the traffic jam.
28:53They've got some momentum here.
28:56Puck scooped up by Rosenthal.
28:59Slides it across.
29:03Unloads the shot.
29:04Scores.
29:05Puts it in the back of the net for her second of the night.
29:09She's been showing her skill set all night long.
29:12I mean, the ability for her to create space and get those golden opportunities and then execute.
29:16Tremendous game.
29:18I've been so impressed with her game, James.
29:20I mean, she's had an outstanding season being the team's leading goal scorer.
29:24She has an uncanny ability to find the back of the net, disguise her shot, and her awareness is off
29:29the charts.
29:39Vancouver's got one back here late in period number two.
29:42Now, can they even things up?
29:44They need to get the equalizer, and the best way to do it is stay connected as a five-player
29:48unit.
29:49They did real well in that scenario, in that last sequence.
29:52To get that goal, they'll need to continue where they left off.
29:55Coins looking to make something happen here in the corner.
29:58That won't pull as that goes off the side of the net.
30:01Puts up along the wall by Patterson.
30:03Here's a pass to the net.
30:05She scores!
30:07Wow!
30:08She scores!
30:14Don't always know how hard you shoot the puck, but it's where you put it.
30:17And recognizing that there's traffic in front, you can see that the goaltender, she's down in the butterfly.
30:21She's trying to make herself as big as possible.
30:23She just can't find the puck in time.
30:50Minnesota's got to be feeling good about their game here as we head towards the intermission.
30:55Already up by two now, late in period number two.
30:57Let's face it, it's been a hard-fought battle, but that last goal, I mean, it puts him in a
31:01great spot heading into the intermission.
31:03We've got to find a way to elevate off of it and keep the foot on the gas.
31:07The front of game control, the puck along the wall.
31:12Slows a pass over.
31:15Tried to get 2Q with it and loses possession.
31:19Heise is so close to pulling off that move, but she gets in a little bit too tight and isn't
31:23able to corral the puck.
31:24And now she's fighting for it.
31:28Minnesota's been bringing the heat offensively all night long, and they continue to lead here late in this middle frame.
31:36Heise has won the draw, now left to set up.
31:40Vancouver's got the puck now.
31:42Taken by Daniel.
31:45From the point, they take control of it.
31:48Puck picked up by Buckbinder.
31:51Oh, and she avoids the poke check.
31:56Vancouver's game possession, a lot of the balls.
31:58Nice save from point-blank range.
32:05Fastfire's made a great save on that last sequence here, James.
32:08She's able to keep that puck out of the net.
32:10I don't know how she did it.
32:11It was a great look from a point-blank range.
32:22Both teams readying here for the face-off.
32:32Minnesota's won the draw inside the offensive zone.
32:34Now let's see what they can do with it.
32:37Moves it quickly over to Daniel.
32:40Through the neutral zone, up along the wing.
32:43And that's intercepted by Panic.
32:49Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
32:53Picked up along the boards by Gardner.
32:56Passes it over.
32:58Can't get it to go.
32:59Great positioning in the defensive end.
33:06Dishes it off.
33:08Pants it over.
33:10Grabs the puck here at the blue line.
33:12Oh, lightning quick reflexes on the one-timer.
33:31Panic's won the face-off.
33:34Stecklin's got it in the defensive end.
33:37Feeds the puck over to Morang.
33:44Takes a shot.
33:45There's the whistle as the puck goes up and over the glass.
33:51Paisy's had multiple scoring chances tonight here, James.
33:54And I thought that she might have gotten frustrated earlier in the frame.
33:57But she finds a way to continue with her confidence.
34:00Her puck touches.
34:01And she finally pots one.
34:02You can certainly see the whole bench invigorate as she puts it on the board.
34:15Minnesota's been putting lots of pucks on net all night long.
34:19And they lead it here late in the second.
34:26And there's the horn bringing it in to period number two.
34:29Still 20 minutes more of action in the third.
34:32Stick around.
34:33For a humbly long.
34:35And we'll be here to the ball.
34:42We'll be here to the ball.
38:02All right, Cheryl, how do you sum up what we've watched so far tonight?
38:06Vancouver has put in a strong effort tonight, James, and there's 20 minutes left, so there
38:09is some runway to claw their way back into this game, especially when they've dominated
38:13possession time.
38:14Now, this can be frustrating at times when you feel like you're holding the puck and
38:17you're going nowhere, but at the end of the day, it's all about cashing in right now and
38:20what you can do in these last few shifts to make a difference.
38:23Ash Meyer's last save was incredible.
38:26As we have a look at it, any goalie coach is going to tell you that a goaltender is tracking
38:30well when they make this save.
38:31They know where the high danger areas are.
38:33They read it perfectly, and she does exactly that to keep it out of the net.
38:40Minnesota's done a wonderful job putting a lot of pucks on net, and they lead it early in
38:44this third period.
38:48And they win the draw in the offensive zone, and they go to work.
38:52Oh, she gets Sullivan with her stick on that play.
38:56Kava's got it in the defensive zone.
38:58And here's the pass to Daniel.
39:00And a stick-break setup.
39:04Takes the feed at the point.
39:08Daniel's got the puck in the back end.
39:10Slides it across.
39:13Let's it go.
39:15Minnesota's got a hold of it along the wall.
39:18Coins lugging the puck.
39:21Sends it over to Heise.
39:23Hard hit.
39:24Sends her down to the ice and frees the puck.
39:27Slides the puck across to Kava.
39:30And we've got an offside with a face-off looming.
39:36Both teams are said we'll drop the puck here.
39:42And they've got the puck after that neutral zone face-off.
39:48Slides the puck ahead to Nurse.
39:51Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
39:56Passes it over.
39:58Nice poke job.
40:01Vancouver's got possession here in the offensive zone.
40:04And that's knocked away.
40:07Minnesota's regained possession of the puck.
40:10Here they come up along the wing.
40:14Sends the pass over.
40:16Puck goes out of play.
40:17We've got a face-off coming up.
40:30Panic's won the draw.
40:33Great read with the stick.
40:35Go!
40:37Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
40:40Nice!
40:49Minnesota's put a lot of shots on net here.
40:51And they lead it as a result early in this third period.
40:56Panic's won the face-off deep inside the offensive zone.
40:59With the blast!
41:01Oh!
41:02Makes the save!
41:03That was a rocket!
41:18And they win the face-off and set-up to go on the attack.
41:21And a great save!
41:24The front's have it on the attack.
41:26Oh, it goes off wherever our teammates in front.
41:31And now it's grabbed by Thompson.
41:33Here's a short pass to Paolo.
41:36Pucked down by Nurse.
41:38Taken by Miller.
41:43Taken by Miller.
41:43Through the middle of the ice, they enter the attacking zone.
41:47And she shuts the door on that one.
41:51Now a quick pass to Nurse.
41:54Intercepted at center by Subwinkel.
41:57Puts it on net!
41:58And it goes off a player in front.
42:00She's standing tall after that one.
42:04She handles the pass.
42:06She's been buzzing all night long, and you know with two goals,
42:09she's looking for the Hattie now.
42:14Dishes it off!
42:18Takes the puck into the corner of the offensive end.
42:22Slides that one right across the blue line.
42:24Passes out for it!
42:29Hensley's been so impressive, I mean, that last tape was grand larceny.
42:32She just stole one from her opponent.
42:34And what it did was, it gave some life to her own team as they head north.
42:38Good possession along the wall.
42:41Great heads of play by the defender.
42:44Vancouver's been working hard away from the puck,
42:46and they're using their awareness to take away angles and seams.
42:49And this is something they're doing with their stick positioning.
42:52Coach talked about it for me again, how important it was going to be.
42:55Skates to the crease!
42:57Fantastic save!
42:59Maschmeyer's on it right there.
43:01I mean, she makes an incredible save from this slot area.
43:05Rosenthal's going to play it against the half wall.
43:07Nice start by Hensley.
43:15These are always high-tempo-paced games.
43:17They are fast because the puck is slinging back and forth right now,
43:21trading chances at either end.
43:35Minnesota's motor has been non-stop tonight.
43:37Lots of shots on net, and they lead in the third.
43:42Clock is dropped, and we are back underway.
43:46Minnesota's looking to break out.
43:48Here they come on the attack.
43:50The Frost have possession along the boards.
43:53Oh, and she comes up in again!
43:56Puck scooped up by Hensley.
43:58Turns a ball of save!
44:00An incredible sequence of saves there,
44:03tracking the puck, finding it, and making the save.
44:05I don't think the coach is going to be very happy, though.
44:07That's way too much work in one moment.
44:10Officials are set.
44:11Players seem ready to get this big math underway.
44:15And they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
44:20Moves the side!
44:22Comes outside with the glove.
44:24Goal-tenders have to have some swag, or well, she's got some confidence.
44:27She challenges the shooter in the spot, and she flashes the leather to make the save.
44:41And they take possession out of the defensive zone face-off.
44:46Here they come on the attack!
44:49Moves the pass in front!
44:50Moves it again!
44:52Great defensive hits-up play to pick it off!
44:56Ticks it out of the offensive zone and back to center.
44:59From the left side, it moves to the middle of the ice.
45:02Hi-Z, it's been fun to watch tonight, James.
45:04I mean, the puck's been dancing all over.
45:06Score!
45:07So she's on the right side of the run!
45:10That's her second!
45:10Well, the puck's just following her around, and she's following it, James,
45:13because she knows where it's at, because she's finishing it off!
45:16What a game for her!
45:18She does a fantastic job on her edges here, James.
45:21I mean, she knows exactly where the defender is on her hip,
45:25and she turns on the dime.
45:26But what she does after, you've got to take those strides quick, hard, and fast
45:30to gain the space that you just created.
45:32She does it, and she scores.
45:45The Frost put in a complete effort tonight, and, I mean, we're close to the finish line
45:50now here, Cheryl, but, wow, they have really looked up.
45:54They have, and they've had the killer instinct.
45:56Sometimes when you get a healthy lead, you can take the foot off the gas pedal, but they're
46:00not.
46:01They're going for it right to the end.
46:03Vancouver's ready to go on the attack, skates across the blue line, great use of the stick
46:10in the defensive end by Jakes, feeds the puck across to Rosenthal.
46:16The Frost of game possession off the wall, and a nice take away in the defensive end by
46:24Jakes, and she shakes off a chip.
46:29She takes the feed, big save by the goaltender, watching that one.
46:37Points finding ways to generate offense for her team right now, and sometimes you have to
46:41fabricate that.
46:42You've got to manufacture it yourself, and she's doing a great job of driving her team in the
46:47offensive zone right now.
46:49Multiple points in this game, and counting here, James.
46:51I wouldn't be surprised if she gets on the score sheet more often.
47:04Minnesota's played arguably their most complete game of the season based on how they have delivered
47:10shots on net and lead here big time in the third.
47:14Loses possession after taking a spill onto the ice.
47:19Noel's got it against the boards.
47:21Shot!
47:22Oh, a clutch save!
47:24James, these are the types of saves that can be game-changing and switch and alter the momentum,
47:29but her team needs to do a better job of shoring up that slot area.
47:32Those point-length saves are tough to come by.
47:35Mashmire's opted to hang on to the puck for a faceoff.
47:58Minnesota's been total nonstop action on the offensive end, and they continue to lead in
48:03the third.
48:08Off the faceoff, they take the puck.
48:13Vancouver's moving it into the offensive end.
48:16Sends it over!
48:19Minnesota's got a hold of the puck.
48:22A ton of goals on the board tonight, and you know that both teams are looking to pad their
48:27stats.
48:28A lot of players in on the action.
48:29That's got to give you confidence to make you feel good.
48:37Officials getting ready to drop the puck to get play back underway.
48:44They win the draw and go on the attack.
48:48Drives to the sweet spot!
48:50Stopped by the goaltender.
48:52They always say goaltenders have something special about them, and you have to want to
48:55be in that position to stand in front of a shot like this.
48:58She does it, and she makes the save.
49:04Take it along the wall by Thompson.
49:10Minnesota's got the puck.
49:12Panic's got it in the defensive end.
49:17Back to the blue line.
49:18That's glove by Meshmeyer.
49:21There's the whistle as the puck stopper elects to hang on.
49:27Minnesota's manufactured plenty of offense tonight, and they lead here late in this third
49:32period.
49:57Panic's won the draw here in the offensive zone.
50:07Here's the chance on the attack.
50:26And she turns that one aside.
50:31Canes the zone through the middle.
50:34That's moved to the middle!
50:35And it goes on the stick and off target.
50:39Handles the puck.
50:42And now it's grabbed by Steckline.
50:45And tries to make a diagonal pass to Subwinkel.
50:48There's a shot!
50:49Oh!
50:50What a stop with the kick save!
50:54Kicks takes the puck.
50:57And they turn it over in the neutral zone.
51:00Showing off her edge work there.
51:02Quick pass to Moray.
51:04Stopped by the goaltender.
51:07There's the whistle.
51:08We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
51:13Looks like line-ups are set.
51:15They're ready to get things back underway.
51:22Heisey's got it, and they're going to attack here in the offensive zone.
51:26Big time stop there.
51:28Dishes it to Venisoba.
51:30And that's broken up by Heisey.
51:33Oh, my!
51:34Oh, my!
51:36Oh, my!
51:36There it is!
51:37There it is!
51:37She's done!
51:38It's the hand trick!
51:39Never mind tipping you down!
51:41Give her a try, guys!
51:43Yeah!
51:44Oh, that's the one game that she's had.
51:46Sometimes you wish you could just bother these ones up here.
51:50They're so tough to get.
51:51Three's a great number.
51:53Let's see if she can get four.
51:55They don't always ask how it goes in, James.
51:58But I really like this one as she's tracking the puck all the way from the shooter.
52:02And then when the rebound pops out, she's driving in the middle of the ice to find it.
52:06Gets her stick on it and buries it.
52:18Minnesota's performance tonight still showing no signs of let-up here in this third period.
52:22They've had such an impressive performance, James.
52:24It's been dominant in all areas of the ice.
52:27And there's been no lead or no let-up.
52:29The message has been clear by the coaching staff as well as everyone on the bench.
52:33Keep pushing.
52:34And a great save!
52:37Mashmire's made a great save and even better as the redirect to the corner.
52:41Keeps it over!
52:43The Frost have taken possession of their own end.
52:47And she shakes off the check with a great play there!
52:50Puts them down the ice.
52:52Regains control here in the neutral zone.
52:55Right in the low slot!
52:57What a save!
52:58The great anticipation as she moves to the top of the crease.
53:02Recognizing that there isn't much real estate.
53:04The shooter's got the puck in the inner slot.
53:06She's gonna take it away and make the save.
53:10And the crowd's on their feet saluting the team after a hard-fought effort this evening.
53:17Moves the puck across the curve.
53:23Moves it out!
53:27Pulling his off- fin of the crumbles.
53:28Huge tactics for the team as she leads the制 match.
53:32Making a hat-trick to food I mean she was all gonna I could go in the offensive zone,
53:36but she got lost in coverage and that's just a testament to her IQ.
53:40Man when he was on her stick she knew how to finish.
53:43Hope you had as much fun as we did bringing you the action here
53:46from all of us at EA Sports, I'm James Zaborski.
53:49Peace.
