00:00:07Hey, you know who loves being at home?
00:00:10Everyone.
00:00:12Stavolsky and his electric crowd here to cheer on the team back on the ice tonight.
00:00:18The time for talk, the time for hype's over.
00:00:21It's time to drop the pot now.
00:00:25Child, you don't get it.
00:00:26This one's underway.
00:00:30And tries to make a diagonal pass tonight.
00:00:34Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
00:00:37Taken by Bell.
00:00:41Slides it across.
00:00:43And makes the set.
00:00:45And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
00:00:51Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
00:00:54Still looking for our first goal.
00:00:57Pilk has won a big draw on their own end.
00:01:00Here's a short pass to Ajia.
00:01:03Intercepted at center by Bell.
00:01:05Takes the puck at the point.
00:01:08Presses it over.
00:01:09Oh, Michael's off her mask.
00:01:11Hopefully she's okay.
00:01:13Now when you're a goaltender, use every and all parts of your body to keep the puck out of the
00:01:17net.
00:01:17This time it just happened to be your cage.
00:01:23And they take possession after the defensive zone face-off.
00:01:27And they'll go on the attack free pressure by Daniel.
00:01:30Scores!
00:01:31With a 40.
00:01:32She rips that bottle off the top of the net.
00:01:35Oh, James.
00:01:36She had a target to hit.
00:01:37And she nailed her water bottle goes flying.
00:01:39And she feels pretty good about herself right now.
00:01:42That's a goal scorer's goal.
00:01:44It's goals like this that reinforce defensive positioning, James.
00:01:48And when you're in the right spot, you can make plays like this to be able to read, use your
00:01:52stick to generate offense.
00:02:08Vancouver's got the game's first goal here in the first.
00:02:10And perfect road approach, right?
00:02:13Silence the crowd, Cheryl.
00:02:14Well, yeah.
00:02:14And you've got to start with some energy.
00:02:16And you've got to get your lines into the game right away.
00:02:18And that's exactly what they did.
00:02:19They were like a wave of momentum.
00:02:21And they capitalized on their opportunity.
00:02:23Puck grab by Kendall.
00:02:25Game is up!
00:02:26Game is up!
00:02:27Into the offensive end now.
00:02:30Take out the offense!
00:02:33Across the point.
00:02:35Quick pass to Daniel.
00:02:38Receives the pass.
00:02:42Vancouver's working the puck to the point.
00:02:46Quick feed tonight.
00:02:50Seattle's got it in the run zone.
00:02:54Dishes it in the run zone.
00:02:55Dishes it in the run zone.
00:02:56Dishes it in the run zone.
00:02:56Dishes it in the run zone.
00:02:56Moves it to Kava.
00:02:59And it's a quick pass to Bell.
00:03:03Seattle's got the puck along the boards.
00:03:06Gaining momentum along the wing.
00:03:08Here we go.
00:03:09One-man rush.
00:03:11Takes the pass.
00:03:13Moves the puck to Daniel.
00:03:16Moves it in the run zone.
00:03:17Moves it in the run zone.
00:03:18And the goaltender grabs that one for a whistle to try to slow things down here.
00:03:25Vancouver's been rewarded early in this one by putting lots of pucks on net.
00:03:33Seattle's won the defensive zone drop.
00:03:36Tries to feed it over to Snodgrass.
00:03:39And they continue to apply pressure here.
00:03:42Oh, and she avoids the poke check.
00:03:46Seattle's gained possession along the boards.
00:03:50Barnes plays it now.
00:03:52Slides the puck to Carpenter.
00:03:55Mashmire's just going to play keepers here and just wait for the whistle.
00:03:58No, she certainly hasn't been busy, but she's been dialed in every step of the way.
00:04:02They have the lead.
00:04:03She's looking to protect it here and holds on for the whistle.
00:04:06Plenty of playing time left in this frame.
00:04:09Vancouver's up.
00:04:09One set.
00:04:11Excellent stick work on the play.
00:04:13Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
00:04:18And a stick in the lane to flex that one away.
00:04:21In front.
00:04:22And a stoppage on the play.
00:04:23As the goaltender covers things up.
00:04:26Vancouver's capitalized on their offensive abilities here in this first period.
00:04:33Eldridge has won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
00:04:38Seattle's looking to break out.
00:04:40Moussa quickly over to Grant Mentis.
00:04:45Seattle's got the puck along the wall.
00:04:47Too much congestion blocks the shot.
00:04:50Feeds the puck to Minnesota.
00:04:51Sova.
00:04:54Slides it across.
00:04:56They score!
00:04:58That's back-to-back snipes.
00:05:00Well, it feels like there's a wave of a momentum, and it has certainly changed here.
00:05:04You can get the opportunity, but you have to execute.
00:05:07That's two in a row.
00:05:09Well, the puck's on her stick and off her stick, James.
00:05:12It's hard to miss when you're in tight.
00:05:13The key is getting it on your stick.
00:05:15She does just that, and she fights for that position.
00:05:37And we're moments away from getting back underway here with the puck drop.
00:06:09Seattle's won the draw in the neutral zone.
00:06:11Oh, it's so much easier when you're running in the game, and your opponent is chasing, and that's exactly what's
00:06:17happening right now.
00:06:19Well, it's almost reactionary when the goaltender drops to the butterfly in the set position, making themselves as big as
00:06:25possible.
00:06:25But she isn't able to get the puck, because the shooter just has a little bit too much time and
00:06:30space, and is able to bury it in the cage.
00:06:43Vancouver's been the better team here in this first period, and as a result, they've got a big lead.
00:06:51And they've got the puck after that, which is on face-off.
00:06:55Shot, and the goaltender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
00:07:00Lawrence has it in the defensive end.
00:07:05Seattle's having one of those nights, James, just isn't working, so they're going to have to find a way to
00:07:09get those legs on short shifts and create some energy.
00:07:12Grabs control of it at the point, and that shot gets caught in traffic.
00:07:18Moves it tonight.
00:07:19Play is blown dead with the offside.
00:07:27Vancouver's holding a noticeable edge in the shot department here in the first, and they lead as a result.
00:07:33And play resumes as the puck is dropped.
00:07:37Showing off her edge, we're caught.
00:07:39Oh, what a stop!
00:07:41And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
00:07:47Knight's the leader of this group, James.
00:07:50She knows exactly what to do.
00:07:51It's a reason her coach has put her out there.
00:07:53She's putting them on their back, and she's finding a way to get it done.
00:07:57And the puck departs the zone.
00:08:04Sends a pass over.
00:08:08Picking up steam in the offensive zone.
00:08:12Knight's going to play against the half-wall.
00:08:15Vancouver's got the puck.
00:08:29Well past the midway mark of this period.
00:08:32Three-nothing is where we sit.
00:08:35One team really enjoying this night.
00:08:37The other, not so much.
00:08:39And they win the draw here in their own end.
00:08:42You hate it when you ice the puck, and it comes 200 feet back to your zone.
00:08:46You've got to give your center a tap on the pads after you win that one and get out.
00:08:50Moves the puck over to Snodgrass.
00:08:54Off a stick, and they can't connect.
00:08:57From the point, looks to make something happen.
00:09:00And now it's taken by Carpenter.
00:09:02That opportunity's rejected.
00:09:04Well, her eyes are always standing, and her body is following here,
00:09:07and she has to make an instinctual save at the last second, and she gets it.
00:09:10Here's a chance, and a blocked shooting.
00:09:14Oh, she stopped it.
00:09:16Whoa!
00:09:16That looks like a miraculous save.
00:09:19I thought that Twyton was going to move there on that one, James,
00:09:22but he doesn't because she's able to get to her.
00:09:24The fans erupt with that save.
00:09:28Picked up along the wall by Snodgrass.
00:09:32Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
00:09:35Sends the pass over.
00:09:37Feeds it over on the attack.
00:09:41Handles the pass at center.
00:09:43Good stop by Nashmeyer.
00:09:46Vancouver's got a hold of it against the wall.
00:09:49Looking to set up offensively.
00:09:52Pisses it over.
00:09:54Crouch can't block as she punches that one away.
00:09:58And she blocks it.
00:09:59Well, it was a second area, a grade-A scoring chance.
00:10:02I don't even think she's got it.
00:10:03She just had instincts relied on him and got in front of it.
00:10:08Passes ahead from the right side.
00:10:11Takes a shot with the stop.
00:10:13I'm not sure how she maintains possession of this puck, James.
00:10:16I mean, she's getting tossed around, but she finds her base.
00:10:19She's got that center of gravity.
00:10:20She's worked hard in her training to be able to be strong on the puck,
00:10:23and she's been able to take it right to the net with will and determination as well.
00:10:28Great read to break up the play.
00:10:31From soon did they get into the attacking area.
00:10:33And she turns that one aside.
00:10:36That's a great look here, James.
00:10:37I love that she's playing with a ton of confidence.
00:10:39And listen, she continues to get these opportunities.
00:10:42One's going to drop.
00:10:44Sends it in on the attack.
00:10:46Vancouver's got it behind the net.
00:10:49Nurse is lugging the puck.
00:10:51Into the offensive zone.
00:10:56Here's a feed in front.
00:11:01First center along the wing.
00:11:04Vancouver's got possession at center.
00:11:08Here's a shot.
00:11:10And that right on target into the logo.
00:11:16Well, I thought I saw the goal light go on, James, but it did not.
00:11:20Why?
00:11:20Because she was able to get onto that puck right away.
00:11:23I mean, a sense of urgency, instincts, athleticism.
00:11:26You name it all, she had it.
00:11:27But most importantly, the battle and the compete to stop that puck.
00:11:31Vancouver's taken advantage of their opportunities offensively so far here in this first.
00:11:36More shots, more goals.
00:11:40Quick pass to Parker.
00:11:42And now it's over to Hall.
00:11:46On the attack, beyond the board.
00:11:49Stopped by the goaltender.
00:11:52Slides it over with pace to Rosenthal.
00:11:56Fires it on net.
00:11:57Hooks save and the puck moves on.
00:12:01Looks to pass it to Parker.
00:12:04Seattle's moving it along the wing.
00:12:08And a nice take away in the defensive end by Banasova.
00:12:12Moves the puck into the attacking area.
00:12:14Oh, that hits the cage.
00:12:17That's using your head.
00:12:23Here in the late goings of the period, it has been a one-sided affair.
00:12:28Three-nothing is where we sit.
00:12:31Seattle's won the draw.
00:12:33Fends it on over to Sudakney.
00:12:37Takes the puck at the point.
00:12:39Dives down low to Parker.
00:12:41Quick feed to Carpenter.
00:12:43And a great save.
00:12:45Oh, I love the way that she shuts the door on this one, James.
00:12:48Beware of us to know where the puck is in that low slot and get in front of it to
00:12:52make it.
00:12:53Vancouver's got a hold of it along the way.
00:12:56Brilliant save.
00:12:57Right in perfectly.
00:12:58There's the whistle.
00:12:59We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
00:13:04Vancouver's got the lead here late in this first period.
00:13:11And they win the defensive zone face-off.
00:13:14Works it across to Snodgrass.
00:13:17Oh, and she tiptoes around the puck.
00:13:19Challenge maintains possession.
00:13:21Fires it.
00:13:22Gets the puck over Chapard.
00:13:26Right up the gut into the offensive end.
00:13:31Seattle's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
00:13:36Great plays.
00:13:37And she makes one last save before the end of this one.
00:13:40All right, there's the end of period number one.
00:13:43We'll take a breather.
00:13:44I'll recharge.
00:13:46The players will, too.
00:13:47And we're coming back with period number two right after this.
00:13:52We'll be right back with period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:13:59of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two
00:14:01right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:14:08of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two
00:14:08right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:14:08of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two
00:14:08right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:14:08of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two
00:14:08right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:14:10of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two
00:14:12right after the end of period number two right after the end of period number two right after the end
00:19:28This is a fantastic save, James, from that area in the slot.
00:19:31Such a dangerous position for the shooter to be in.
00:19:34And man, she's trying to shake loose.
00:19:37All alone.
00:19:49Well, a great play made to get this opportunity or blistering speed through the neutral zone and what a finish.
00:19:54That quick release, that quick release, that quick release just buries at home.
00:20:15All right, we're going to get a goalie change here.
00:20:18she's had a rough night.
00:20:19She's had a rough night.
00:20:19She's had a rough night.
00:20:19She's had a rough night, really no help in front of her.
00:20:21And she's skating off quickly.
00:20:22She wants to get out of there.
00:20:36She wants to get out of there.
00:20:40And when you look down this line up and you look on the ice,
00:20:43it starts right from the goaltender and works its way all through the offensive zone.
00:20:48Motion to Gardner.
00:20:52She handles the pass.
00:20:54Dishes it off.
00:20:55The official blows the play dead as the puck goes out of bounds.
00:21:02Vancouver's offense has come to play in a big way
00:21:05as they dominated both the shots and goal category.
00:21:10And they take possession here in the offensive zone.
00:21:12And time to go on the attack.
00:21:14Oh, what a step on the right title on her puck.
00:21:18Moussa quickly over to Gardner.
00:21:22Knocks the puck away in the open ice.
00:21:24Pass to Nurse.
00:21:29Tries to feed it across.
00:21:32Good use for the body to knock them off the puck.
00:21:35Takes a shot.
00:21:36And the traffic neutralizes that.
00:21:38But they score.
00:21:40The power continues, Cheryl.
00:21:43Oh, it is ugly.
00:21:44And there's nothing worse than the score than having your own crowd just give way on you.
00:21:50They're not happy.
00:21:51You can hear the brewing tonight in this building.
00:21:53Just a tough game all the way around.
00:21:55I think they screamed uncle about two of these ago.
00:21:59This situation just goes from bad to worse change.
00:22:02You pull your starting goaltender.
00:22:04And then you go put in your second, your backup.
00:22:06She's cold.
00:22:07She's not quite ready for the game.
00:22:09And then she lets one in.
00:22:10This is a tough game.
00:22:11It's ugly.
00:22:20Vancouver's carried the puck like it's been on a string all night, Cheryl.
00:22:23Puck's been on their stick and their opponent's been on their heels.
00:22:26They've just been worn down with the offensive zone possession time.
00:22:29And how are the goaltender seeing so much rubber tonight?
00:22:33And makes the routine save.
00:22:36We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
00:22:42Still plenty of time left in this frame.
00:22:45Vancouver's offense is showing no signs of slowing down as they have extended this blowout.
00:22:51And off the draw, they'll take possession.
00:22:55Right off Main Street and on the attack.
00:22:58Seattle's got the puck.
00:23:00They try to maintain possession inside the defensive zone.
00:23:04Picked up along the boards by Brown.
00:23:07Vancouver's got a hold of the puck now.
00:23:09Here's a shot.
00:23:10Now flicked it in front, but she gets her tunnel on it.
00:23:14Looks to set up at the point now.
00:23:16Slides the puck to Snoddrops.
00:23:23From the right side, moves it up ahead.
00:23:28Stretch pass.
00:23:29Breaks away.
00:23:30And that chance falls apart.
00:23:32And I'm sure she'd let it do it.
00:23:33Oh, it stops.
00:23:35She picks up the loose change and puts it home.
00:23:43I love this goal, James.
00:23:44Just having a knack for the net and being relentless on the puck.
00:23:48I mean, you take the original shot, no one can stop you.
00:23:50And you're the first player to get your stick on the puck and bury it home.
00:23:53That's a great play by her.
00:24:15Vancouver's added yet another to extend this lead, and they are just flying tonight here in period number two.
00:24:21And they've completely worn their opponent down, so they have no energy to get to the puck or try and
00:24:26create.
00:24:27And this is a testament to their whole lineup.
00:24:29They came ready to play.
00:24:30Point!
00:24:31She takes the feed.
00:24:33Point!
00:24:34Angles it over to Rosenthal.
00:24:37Barrett's got the puck near the back end.
00:24:40And that shot goes nowhere as the lane was filled.
00:24:44Oh, and she avoids the poke trick.
00:24:46Charge to the sweep spot.
00:24:48Huge save on the play.
00:24:50How did she stop that?
00:24:51I don't know, James.
00:24:53I don't know whether it's a product of the puck hitting her or her hitting the puck, but she found
00:24:56a way to make that save.
00:24:58Incredible effort.
00:24:59Massfire's able to make this incredible save by getting to the top of her crease.
00:25:03She's extremely aggressive, and she makes a huge save.
00:25:06She was in the slot area, and she finds a way to keep it out of the net.
00:25:10Oh, and she shuts down an excellent scoring chance there.
00:25:15Carries it into the offensive end up the middle.
00:25:19Cuts into the paint, and that's off the clock, and she keeps it out.
00:25:29Vancouver's offense came to play in a big way, and they lead big time here in the second.
00:25:37And off the draw, they win possession.
00:25:40Here's a short pass to Eldridge.
00:25:43Slides it across to Grant Muntis.
00:25:48Vancouver's got the puck along the wall.
00:25:50Go, go, go!
00:25:50Stips inside the attacking zone, down the left wing.
00:25:54Seattle's got control of it now from their own end.
00:25:58Slides it diagonally to Grant Muntis.
00:26:01And here's the pass to Gosselin.
00:26:06Takes a shot!
00:26:07And will get the whistle after the goaltender hangs on.
00:26:14Vancouver's message going into this one when we talked to them at the morning skate was to get a lot
00:26:19of pucks on net.
00:26:19They've done just that, and they lead as a result.
00:26:23Goaltender gave up nothing as it hits the outside of the post and will play on.
00:26:27Seattle's working hard even.
00:26:29They're down just a bunch of goals in this one, but they need something.
00:26:32They need a spark, and I'll tell you what isn't a spark.
00:26:34And it's very bad at the post.
00:26:36And she gets all that one with that save on the one-timer.
00:26:44Some last-second communication with the D as centers get ready to drop the puck.
00:26:53Carpenter's won the draw, and her squad will go to work.
00:26:57Barnes moves the puck.
00:26:58Quick pass to Sudecki.
00:27:01Oh, and she tiptoes around the poke check and maintains possession.
00:27:05Along the half-wall with the puck.
00:27:07And turns it aside with ease.
00:27:11Mashmeyer's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
00:27:24Seattle's won the draw.
00:27:26Clay is whistled dead as the puck goes up and over.
00:27:33Vancouver's dominated right from the start.
00:27:36Their offense clicking on all cylinders, and they lead here in the second.
00:27:42Millers won the face-off here in the defensive zone.
00:27:46Through the neutral zone, ending to the offensive end.
00:27:51She handles the feed.
00:27:55Puts it on net, and she shuts the door.
00:27:58Puts it on that one.
00:27:59There's the one-timer.
00:28:01And she makes another save.
00:28:05Vancouver's got it in the offensive zone.
00:28:10Here's a pass to the middle.
00:28:12And she denies that on the penalty.
00:28:16Quick feed to Channel.
00:28:21Seattle's got the puck along the boards.
00:28:25Vancouver's looking to break out at the right end.
00:28:28Moose it to Bell.
00:28:31We've got a penalty coming up here on the play.
00:28:34Moose it quickly over to Bilka.
00:28:37There's the whistle, and here's the goal.
00:28:40Maureen's going to serve a pair from interference.
00:28:43As a former player, I completely understand what she's trying to do here, James.
00:28:46She's trying to close quickly and make sure that her team gets the puck first.
00:28:50And in doing it, she gets the interference call.
00:28:59And the main advantage unit comes out to go to work.
00:29:02Well, a huge opportunity for this team to get their first power playoff for unit.
00:29:07And who comes out?
00:29:08Their top unit to ignite them, give them a spark in this game, trying to get Lapp on the board.
00:29:14Back time stop there.
00:29:17Seattle's team possession along the boards.
00:29:19Here's a short pass tonight.
00:29:21And not much right now.
00:29:23They want to clear the zone here while they're trying to kill off this penalty.
00:29:27And they get the puck out of the defensive end.
00:29:31Swing and a miss.
00:29:32Shot.
00:29:33And she makes the save.
00:29:36Here's a chance to move the puck outside the zone.
00:29:39And they still hang on to the puck.
00:29:41And they get the puck out of the zone, and that's a break for the squad.
00:29:45Oh, yeah, this PK unit, they're out there for a reason, James.
00:29:48You have to be able to clear the puck, and it's easier said than done.
00:29:51But they make no mistake this time.
00:29:53Quick feed to Thompson.
00:29:56Carter's got the puck.
00:29:57Oh, my goodness, she saved it.
00:30:00Wow.
00:30:00I thought she was a fish out of water, and there was no way she was getting...
00:30:04Look at this score!
00:30:05Look at the score, please make it happen.
00:30:09She's a leading goal scorer for a reason.
00:30:12She knows how to get to the net.
00:30:13She's got a nose in that for it.
00:30:15And she's not afraid to take any shot from any area of the ice.
00:30:18She just gets on the board.
00:30:19Another one.
00:30:37Seattle's been on their heels all night long, but they finally pushed back here in period number two.
00:30:42Certainly something positive to get on the board, but they're going to have to build on top of it if
00:30:46they want to really create some momentum and believe that they're back in this game.
00:30:49Broken up with the stick in the defensive end.
00:30:53Here's a shot!
00:30:54And they'll get it for you as the goaltender covers it up.
00:31:02Centers are lined up, and we are ready to resume.
00:31:09Eldridge has won the faceoff.
00:31:12Seattle's got the puck in the defensive end.
00:31:17And player ball down to the ice.
00:31:19Looks like we've got a tripping penalty coming up here.
00:31:23Thompson's not going to like the call, but the officials see tripping on the play.
00:31:27The tripping call is going to ensue here as she finds the feet, not the puck.
00:31:32And that's the tough one.
00:31:32You know what her intention was.
00:31:34She just missed the mark.
00:31:41I won't be surprised to see the 1-3-1 again.
00:31:43They had success on it earlier, James.
00:31:45And listen, I love this.
00:31:46I coach this with my team because I love the bumper spot, and I love the net front player.
00:31:50You're taking away the eyes of the goaltender, but he can also pop out below the goal line
00:31:55and present as an option for multiple variations that can strike.
00:31:59Quick shot!
00:32:01Cross-ice pass!
00:32:06Seattle's got the puck in their own end.
00:32:09Look at her go!
00:32:11Sends it over!
00:32:13Passes out front!
00:32:14Office!
00:32:16Big save!
00:32:17How did she scoop it out?
00:32:19I have no idea, James.
00:32:20She was out of the net, but her eyes were tracking that puck every step of the way,
00:32:24and the last-ditch effort gets it done.
00:32:26Mashmire's been solid in the crease tonight.
00:32:28She's really found a way to make the key save and the timely one as well,
00:32:32but the high volume of them, they're going to have to shore that up.
00:32:34They don't want to give up so many opportunities on the defensive side of the puck.
00:32:38Yeah, they have a lead, but if they want to keep it,
00:32:40they're going to have to make sure they take care of their own zone.
00:32:43Seattle's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
00:32:47Snodgrass brings it in from center.
00:32:51Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
00:32:54Seattle's got the puck here in the open ice.
00:32:57Off the left wing and into center.
00:32:59And she makes the seed there!
00:33:02Vancouver's got the puck.
00:33:05And now it's grabbed by Brown.
00:33:07Audicles have one of her own teammates in front.
00:33:11Taking it out on the wall by Stephanie.
00:33:13She blocked it!
00:33:15Well, she does a great job, too, James.
00:33:16She anticipates and recognizes that she's going to have to lead with her stick
00:33:19to be able to get in front of that puck.
00:33:20Does a great job, good quick feet,
00:33:22and takes that puck away from the net front.
00:33:26Carson's up and ready to get back on the ice.
00:33:29Fantastic save!
00:33:30Got to give the penalty case a lot of credit as the penalty expires.
00:33:34Well, that's a great power play, James.
00:33:36It's all about puck.
00:33:38Oh, they're about to climb,
00:33:40but they're at least to start at the escalation.
00:33:43Well, yeah, they're not at the base of the mountain anymore,
00:33:45but I'll tell you, they're looking up,
00:33:47and it's a long way to go.
00:33:48They're going to have to dig in, put their work boots on
00:33:50if they want to claw their way back into this one, James.
00:33:53Well, she drops to the butterfly as a default position,
00:33:56really recognizing that she doesn't know where the puck is.
00:33:59So, take me away as much net as possible here, James.
00:34:02You see goalies work on it all the time in practice.
00:34:05Unfortunately, this one just beats her
00:34:06because she can't track it in time.
00:34:12Seattle's been outworked all night long,
00:34:14but they've finally got something they can push back with now.
00:34:16Yeah, they've got to continue to push as well
00:34:18if they want to give themselves an opportunity
00:34:20to feel like they can get back in this one.
00:34:22And that's going to start with some hard work,
00:34:24the good old intangibles,
00:34:25and the feeling that they can get back in.
00:34:27And it all starts with execution, though, James,
00:34:28and you have to play physical.
00:34:31Scooped up along the wall by Egea.
00:34:33Trying to clear.
00:34:35And they get the job done.
00:34:37Takes the feed.
00:34:41Spook it up with a stick in the defensive zone.
00:34:45Maureen's into the offensive zone now on the attack.
00:34:48Here's a chance.
00:34:50Scores!
00:34:51All the way down and tucks it in for the goal.
00:35:04They don't always ask how it goes in, James,
00:35:07but I really like this one
00:35:08as she's tracking the puck all the way from the shooter.
00:35:11And then when the rebound pops out,
00:35:13she's driving in the middle of the ice to find it,
00:35:15gets her stick on it, and buries it.
00:35:28Vancouver's having a night.
00:35:29As some kids might say, Cheryl,
00:35:31they're falling out there here in period number two.
00:35:34Just loving it out here, James.
00:35:36I mean, they have to have control of the play.
00:35:38They've been so dominant.
00:35:39And it feels effortless.
00:35:40And when it feels effortless,
00:35:42you don't want it to stop.
00:35:43And they've got an intermission looming,
00:35:44and you know they want to stay on the ice.
00:35:46And they got caught up in traffic and hits a stick.
00:35:50Across the line, down the left wall.
00:35:53Oh, and she comes up with the glove save.
00:35:56Slides the pass over to Barnes.
00:35:58Slides the puck across to Aegea.
00:36:00Slides the pass over here.
00:36:03Moves it on over to Doreen.
00:36:06And there's the save.
00:36:09Seattle's got to hold it against the wall.
00:36:12Quick pass to Hall.
00:36:13Shot.
00:36:14Oh, I want to see if she wasn't having any of that
00:36:17as she kicks it away.
00:36:22Minnesota's got to hold it on to Doreen.
00:36:22Minnesota's finding ways to generate offense for her team
00:36:24right now.
00:36:25And sometimes you have to fabricate that.
00:36:27You've got to manufacture it yourself.
00:36:29And she's doing a great job of driving her team
00:36:31in the offensive zone right now.
00:36:33Multiple points in this game and counting here, James.
00:36:36I wouldn't be surprised if she gets on the score sheet
00:36:38more often.
00:36:54Seattle's trailing here late in the second period
00:36:56despite being the more active team offensively.
00:37:01And they win the draw.
00:37:02Now let's see what they can do with it.
00:37:07There's the horn bringing period number two to an end.
00:37:1140 minutes down, 20 to go.
00:37:13Third period action is coming up.
00:37:16We're here to attend an awesome attraction next weekend
00:37:19and get a sneak peek at next year's models
00:37:22from the world's top automobile manufacturers.
00:37:35Take care.
00:37:37Oh.
00:37:48Oh.
00:37:50Oh.
00:37:52Oh.
00:37:54Oh.
00:37:54Oh.
00:41:45She's got moves to open up some space.
00:41:48Quick beam down low.
00:41:49Takes a shot.
00:41:50Turn this side with a glove by Meshfire.
00:41:57Well, she's been the foundation of this team tonight here.
00:42:01I mean, look at her saves throughout this game.
00:42:03Timely, big saves that are difference makers for her team and can really reset the momentum and the charge of
00:42:09her group.
00:42:21Pilka's at the face-off dot, ready to win this draw on the man advantage.
00:42:29Seattle's going to start with the puck inside the puck inside the offensive zone.
00:42:38Seattle's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
00:42:59They'll have a lot of time to work with this five-on-three.
00:43:03For the long five-on-three, yes, you have more time.
00:43:05And you know that you've worked on this in practice.
00:43:07Coach wants you to be patient with the puck, but they want you to find an opportunity to drive and
00:43:12attack.
00:43:12You have to move it, or you have to fire it.
00:43:15Feeds the puck over to Bill Cloud.
00:43:18Abbott! Abbott!
00:43:19Touch to the front!
00:43:20She scores!
00:43:22Right on point!
00:43:24Wow!
00:43:24That's just an incredible shot, James.
00:43:27That sends the water bottle flying.
00:43:29I mean, it gets there.
00:43:32That's what we call a deserved and earned assist.
00:43:35When you manipulate your opponent with your hands and your vision, you make it look easy.
00:43:39And that's exactly what she did, threading the needle on that play.
00:44:01Seattle's fan base watching, streaming, taking this one in wherever, probably wondering, where was this earlier?
00:44:07Yeah, it's frustrating for an athlete when you know what you can play like, you know what your team can
00:44:11play like,
00:44:11and you just don't perform.
00:44:13But late in the game here, they need goals.
00:44:15They need a pile of them.
00:44:16If they even want to have an opportunity to get their tender end of the net.
00:44:19And they'll get it out of the defensive end.
00:44:22Quick pass across to Snodgrass.
00:44:26And tries to make a diagonal pass to Sudechny.
00:44:29Right on the open ice.
00:44:30That one's picked off.
00:44:33And she shakes off a check.
00:44:35Quick feed to Jakes.
00:44:38Takes the feed.
00:44:40Oh, a clutch!
00:44:42Moves the puck up to Sudechny.
00:44:45Great play as she dodges the choke check.
00:44:48Shot!
00:44:48Blonde!
00:44:49And that's why she kills penalties.
00:44:51Yeah, it's not just going to work it hard, it's going to be anticipating,
00:44:53so that would be smart to be able to get to both lanes quickly.
00:44:56There's the save!
00:45:00Streaking through center, they go on the attack.
00:45:03Heads it over!
00:45:05Oh, a clutch!
00:45:06Save to the butch!
00:45:07Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner,
00:45:11getting it out of danger.
00:45:13Steps into the offensive end!
00:45:19Seattle's got a hole in it, block the wall.
00:45:22Showing off her edge work there!
00:45:24Knight's been having herself a game.
00:45:26She has a multi-point Knight so far.
00:45:28She's been all over the ice, creating from all angles.
00:45:32And she's not done yet.
00:45:34Vancouver's PK unit comes up clutch.
00:45:37Well, everyone is up.
00:45:38The coach knows exactly what the PK unit had to do,
00:45:40and they got out there, they were responsible,
00:45:42and they took care of business.
00:45:45Slides it across!
00:45:47Oh, that goes off one of her own teammates there in front.
00:45:51Into the offensive end now.
00:45:53Moosey to Bacom.
00:45:55Now a quick pass to Eldridge.
00:46:00Seattle's got a hole in the puck now.
00:46:02Oh, she gets out of it with a skipper on that play.
00:46:05Oh, and she comes up big again!
00:46:08Miller's got it in the defensive end.
00:46:13Presses it over!
00:46:16Candles the puck!
00:46:18Dishes it off!
00:46:19That's blocked!
00:46:21Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
00:46:26Knight's had multiple scoring chances in this game,
00:46:29and she doesn't let it get her down.
00:46:31She finds a way to capitalize.
00:46:33I just love that her foot speed has stayed the same.
00:46:35Her body language has been positive,
00:46:37and she's continued to attack the paint.
00:46:39That's critical, especially when it's not landing.
00:46:41If you continue to get the looks,
00:46:43it's eventually going to drop.
00:46:44It does this time.
00:46:52Seattle's had a lot to like about their game tonight.
00:46:54Decided advantage in the shot department,
00:46:56but they still trail here in the third.
00:46:59Cook has won a big draw on their own end.
00:47:03Slides the puck over.
00:47:05Look at her go!
00:47:08Takes the shot!
00:47:09Oh, she waffled for it to keep it up!
00:47:13Seattle's got the puck along the wall.
00:47:16That's blocked by Herschmeyer.
00:47:18There's the whistle as the puck is frozen up.
00:47:25The centermen glide into position.
00:47:34Seattle's had the draw inside the offensive zone.
00:47:37Now let's see what they can do with it.
00:47:39Go!
00:47:42Go!
00:47:44Go!
00:47:46Go!
00:47:47Go!
00:47:48Go!
00:47:50Go!
00:47:50Go!
00:47:51Go!
00:47:51Go!
00:48:02Go!
00:48:03Go!
00:48:04Go!
00:48:07Go!
00:48:25Go!
00:48:27Go!
00:48:27as it goes off a stick.
00:48:29Oh, you won't respect for your teammates
00:48:31doing that. What a block.
00:48:35Puck picked up by Boreen.
00:48:44Vancouver's game
00:48:45possession along the boards.
00:48:47Sends it over to Rosenthal.
00:48:51Here's a shot. Jackson's
00:48:53going to give everyone a chance to breathe
00:48:55and hang on to the puck.
00:48:59Seattle's failed to convert on
00:49:01scoring opportunities and lots of
00:49:03them here in this third period.
00:49:09Vancouver's won the draw. Now let's see
00:49:11what they can do with it.
00:49:12Pines it over. Score!
00:49:15She's on a hitter now. That's her
00:49:17second of the night. The Bucs just following
00:49:19her around her. She's following it, James,
00:49:21because she knows where it's at because she's
00:49:22finishing it off. What a game for her.
00:49:25It's funny, James,
00:49:26when an athlete has a one-timer like this,
00:49:29it is so difficult to defend.
00:49:31Everyone on the ice knows exactly
00:49:33where she's going to shoot this puck
00:49:34with a one-timer, but no one can stop it.
00:49:37Great pass by her teammate.
00:49:52Vancouver's been running away with this one since the beginning of the game, and no signs
00:49:56of slowing down in the third. It's been a productive night, and this is one of those games that gives
00:50:01everyone confidence, and this is important for your lineup, as everyone gets it, as they feel like they're contributing.
00:50:06What a great scene!
00:50:09Well, the ABCs of goaltending is all about balance and positioning, and she's showing it off right there
00:50:13as she gets square to the shooter in the slot and makes the save.
00:50:17Vancouver's got possession here in the neutral zone.
00:50:21Moves it quickly over to Boreen.
00:50:27Recedes the pass.
00:50:30Moves the shot attempt.
00:50:34Seattle's got control of the puck.
00:50:36And she shakes out a chip.
00:50:38And a bird chip knocks the puck away.
00:50:42Throwing off her edge work there.
00:50:44Fires it on net.
00:50:46Tremendous blocker save on her part.
00:50:50What's on her?
00:50:51There's back-to-back saves.
00:50:53And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
00:50:58Teams are ready for the draw.
00:51:00The linesmen about to drop the puck.
00:51:05Seattle's got the win off that draw.
00:51:08Slides the puck across to Barnes.
00:51:11Seattle's got it in their own zone.
00:51:12Tremendous blocker takes the pass.
00:51:16Strong defensive effort.
00:51:20Fires it.
00:51:22Comes up with a stop.
00:51:23Here's a short pass to Gosling.
00:51:26And she's knocked off the puck there.
00:51:29Seattle's ready to go on the attack.
00:51:32Brand along the birds by Gosling.
00:51:35What a stop on the play.
00:51:38Moves the puck.
00:51:40Into the attacking end.
00:51:42Takes a shot.
00:51:44Makes it look easy with a glove.
00:51:46And that's a great heads-up play to the offensive zone.
00:51:49I love the way that she anticipates the next play of the puck carrier.
00:51:53I mean, that's exactly what you have to do when you're going to use the leverage of your
00:51:55assist to play check.
00:52:07Goaltender talks to use their senses to find the puck, especially when they can't see it.
00:52:12You want to feel it, track it, hear it.
00:52:14Unfortunately, with all these bodies in front, she can't find it.
00:52:17So she drops to that butterfly position.
00:52:19She makes herself as big as possible, but it's still finding its way through.
00:52:33Seattle's got to find a way to continue to attack here now, right, Cheryl?
00:52:36Yeah, and they're going to do that by throwing defensive structure out the window and just
00:52:40pushing forward.
00:52:41You can expect more players to be involved in the attack when they get going north.
00:52:44Quick pass to Nurse.
00:52:46Here's a chance on the attack.
00:52:49Vancouver's got the puck against the boards.
00:52:52Great defensive effort breaking up the pass.
00:52:55She's got two goals in the game, looking for a third.
00:52:59Vancouver's got the puck along the boards.
00:53:02And she was in great position to read that one.
00:53:05Goaltender covers up and will get a face-off.
00:53:11Seattle's run into a hot goaltender tonight.
00:53:14They've had no shortage of scoring opportunities, but yet they can't convert.
00:53:17And they trail here in the third.
00:53:19And they win the draw in the offensive zone, and they go to work.
00:53:23Vancouver's got possession to the puck.
00:53:27Seattle's got it in the neutral zone.
00:53:29With possession along the wall.
00:53:32Here's a chance.
00:53:33Stores.
00:53:34And they strike Haydard once again.
00:53:37Yeah, they do.
00:53:38And their opponents down on their heels are deflated.
00:53:40They've got to find a way to continue with the pressure.
00:53:43Be relentless and try and get another one.
00:53:46Well, this is a beautiful, hard-working goal as they're trying to jostle her off the puck.
00:53:50But she shows her great edge work, her power, and her balance.
00:53:53I mean, you have to have core strength to be able to withstand that kind of pressure.
00:53:57And she does.
00:53:58And she finds the back of the net.
00:54:04Seattle's recognized that they're not going to play run time here, so at least try to make it respectable.
00:54:09They're respectable, and they can finish with physicality, and that's something that the staff will be telling them.
00:54:15Also look for everyone to be jumping into the attack, trying to get some pressure on their opponent and get
00:54:20some much-needed goals.
00:54:22Sends a pass over.
00:54:24Seattle's got possession at center.
00:54:27Good defense in Africa, poking away.
00:54:30Moves the pass in front.
00:54:32What a chance, but they can't connect.
00:54:36Looking to set up offensively.
00:54:39Puts it on there.
00:54:40Big time shot lands right on the jersey logo.
00:54:47Seattle's been very active offensively tonight, but they just have not been able to finish on their scoring chances here
00:54:54late in the third.
00:54:56Slides the puck ahead to Sodechni.
00:54:58And a stiff-break setup.
00:55:01Vancouver's got the puck in their own end.
00:55:04Looking for space inside the D-zone.
00:55:08Quick feed to Boreen.
00:55:11Goaltender covers it up.
00:55:12We get a whistle to slow things down.
00:55:17Some last-second communication before both teams get ready to drop the puck here.
00:55:24Carpenter's won the draw here for her team.
00:55:27Taken by Rosenthal.
00:55:31Sends the pass over.
00:55:32We're going to face off after the puck stays covered up.
00:55:50Carpenter's won the draw inside her own end.
00:55:53Goaltender in front.
00:55:55Score!
00:55:56And just like that, they take that momentum away.
00:55:59Well, that's a huge shift.
00:56:00I mean, listen, their opponent scores.
00:56:02And instead of allowing them to build the confidence on it, they stomp it out right away.
00:56:06That's exactly what you want to do if you want to be a competitive team.
00:56:10Oh, she's in that prime scoring area.
00:56:13Gets it on the backhand.
00:56:14Corrals it nicely and has the ability to get that bottom hand real strong on it.
00:56:18Goaltender can't read it.
00:56:32Vancouver's added yet another one here to the total tonight.
00:56:36What a performance.
00:56:37Yeah, they've had the puck on their stick for a majority of this game.
00:56:40You know the coaching staff is going to be impressed.
00:56:42Hey, maybe they'll get the day off tomorrow.
00:56:44Puck grabbed by Snodgrass.
00:56:47Let's move to the middle.
00:56:49They're starting.
00:56:51What a counterpunch they serve off.
00:56:53Well, you said a counterpunch.
00:56:55You know the coach is going to love this.
00:56:56This quick timing response.
00:56:58When you look down your bench, you've got to know that there's personnel that can go out there
00:57:01and provide some energy for your team.
00:57:03They just did it.
00:57:05There isn't much room when you're in tight to the net, James,
00:57:07but she manages to get that puck on her stick and release it quickly for the goal.
00:57:22Seattle's fan base watching, streaming, taking this one in wherever,
00:57:26probably wondering, where was this earlier?
00:57:28Yeah, it's frustrating for an athlete when you know what you can play like,
00:57:31you know what your team can play like, you just don't perform.
00:57:34But late in the game here, they need goals.
00:57:36They need a pile of them if they even want to have an opportunity to get their tender out of
00:57:39the net.
00:58:00Seattle's been leading in the shot department most of the night,
00:58:03but they continue to trail here late in the third.
00:58:06They win the draw and go on the attack.
00:58:09And that goes off a body.
00:58:11Moves it to Manasova.
00:58:16Seattle's looking to break out at their own end.
00:58:18Oh, and she avoids the poke check.
00:58:22Vancouver's game possession.
00:58:24Tries to feed it over to Maureen.
00:58:27Here's a chance.
00:58:28And she had the answer for that one.
00:58:31Moves it quickly over to Manasova.
00:58:35Less than 60 seconds to play in this block.
00:58:38Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
00:58:43The setters will glide into the dot.
00:58:49Clock is dropped and we are back underway.
00:58:52This is it tonight.
00:58:55Seattle's in transition.
00:58:57Hey!
00:59:00Vancouver's got it in their own zone.
00:59:01Goal, goal, goal.
00:59:05She handles the pass.
00:59:08Moves it around along the half wall.
00:59:11Here's a short pass to Jakes.
00:59:13And she stops that one.
00:59:14Goal, goal.
00:59:17Goal, goal.
00:59:18Vancouver's got the puck here in the open ice.
00:59:20Sends the pass down low.
00:59:23Seattle's got the puck.
00:59:25Feeds the puck across to Bocaz.
00:59:27Quick pass tonight.
00:59:29Shot with the stop.
00:59:31This is a great position to make that save.
00:59:33And when you're in good position,
00:59:34you can steer and control the rebound.
00:59:36And this one goes right to the corner.
00:59:38Open!
00:59:39Across the line along the left wall.
00:59:47It is all over.
00:59:50Cheryl, tonight was about as dominant a performance
00:59:52I've seen from a team all season.
00:59:54Yeah, they held the puck and they had possession time.
00:59:57And what they did with that was really effective.
00:59:59They hold it in small spaces, draw the coverage to them,
01:00:02open up a lane, and it was off to the races.
01:00:04Well, and that brings a fun night of hockey to a conclusion.
01:00:08And we will say goodbye.
01:00:10She's Cheryl Pounder.
01:00:11My name is James Stabulski.
01:00:13Thanks for joining us from all of us here at EA Sports.
01:00:16Good night.
