smozoma Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Pretty good series played between jrodimus31 and myself. We're both in 8th/9th. Game 1: http://www.blitz94.com/boxscore.asp?gameid=1290 Dallas's offense goes on a rampage, scoring a season-high 7 goals. Things were close until I put Steve Thomas on, sparking 4 straight goals (1 goal and 3 first-assists for Thomas). Essensa has a .286 save percentage. Bruhuhuhuuutal. Game 2: http://www.blitz94.com/boxscore.asp?gameid=1291 This looks more like a Dallas game. Brutally outshot 17-11, but having a 1-1 tie going into OT. Dallas wins the opening OT faceoff, but Nieuwendyk goes BALLISTIC, takes out Steve Smith whose corralled the puck near Roy, and pots the goal, just 7 seconds in. Game 3: http://www.blitz94.com/boxscore.asp?gameid=1292 Essensa lets in a disgusting goal from almost the blueline in the first minute, but then shuts things down with a number of impressive blocker saves. Nieuwendyk scores 2 from Jagr, for a close victory. Game 4: http://www.blitz94.com/boxscore.asp?gameid=1143 Dallas's game the whole way, a shutout for Roy, and probably a record number of shots for Dallas. jrod hit the post on a beauty pass-shot. 18 minutes of penalties. Game 5: http://www.blitz94.com/boxscore.asp?gameid=1144 Every series has 'the crazy game' and this was it. Kerry Huffman gets a breakaway and puts away an incredible pass-shot deke (a-la swos). Essensa blasts a rocket pass past Roy. Hogue scores one, off-the-post-off-the-face-and-in Overall, PIT gets 5.5 points and DAL gets 4.5 points, leaving PIT with a 0.403 pts% to end the season, and DAL with 0.400 with 19 games left. DAL needs 8 wins in their last 19 games to make the playoffs. The current Power Ratings for the two teams suggest that DAL can pull it off (.417 vs .410), but I think I got lucky in some of my earlier games. Anyway, should be interesting to see who gets in! ggs! Quote
