Capital Connection (cC) Plays Rival Canucks Dot Com (CDC)

Finally, the first game between our two teams begin. It was a fun game, even though we ended up losing once Krazzx disconnected from the game. Despite having only rookie cards, I thought our team matched up decently against them although their players skated a lot faster. I had to hustle just to keep up with a lot of them and with an endurance of 60, that's not really a good move. I ended up recording all the goals for those of you who are interested in what happened. I'm sorry I couldn't compile all the clips together, it would take too long to upload onto Youtube rather than just straight onto the blog. Capital Connection is the home team (blue jerseys) and Canucks Dot Com is the away team (white jerseys). 

cC vs CDC

First Period:

We take the lead at start with a cross crease goal which barely made it in.

CDC ties it with a turnover right in front of the net! Game tied 1-1

Our teammate xChris76 with an amazing snipe short side. What a shot!

WiLBoY takes a shot from the right point, and xChris76 tips it in! cC leads 3-1 

From here, we enter the 2nd period and have a 3-1 lead. Everything's looking good and we told ourselves not to back down because CDC likes to come back from behind every time. 

Second Period:

No goals were scored in the second period, but Krazzx disconnected from the game and it went downhill here. 

Third Period:

CDC gets a breakaway, very unfortunate bounce to the middle of the ice. Score becomes 3-2 for cC

CDC does what they do best, cross crease and it connects! Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure Krazzx would have stopped that as the AI was just standing there not doing anything. The game becomes tied, 3-3 in the third.

Number 8 shows why he's great. Takes a snipe short side on our goalie top shelf. What I wonder is why the AI defenceman wasn't covering his side but was in the slot instead, but very nice goal. CDC leads 4-3.

40 seconds left in the third, cC gets a powerplay and xChris76 receives the pass right in the slot and buries it. Game tied 4-4 and xChris76 completes the hat-trick.

CDC scores with 30 or so seconds left and the AI defencemen is left standing there watching. A very timely goal for CDC, but they made a good push back. CDC leads 5-4 in the third with 20 seconds left and eventually wins the game. 

                                      

Despite losing, it was a fun game to be apart of. I think we hit like 4-5 posts in the 2nd period though, and I knew those were going to come back and haunt us. We even missed the penalty shot, but Frankchise_605 bailed us out on their penalty shot earlier. Overall, a good game and we're looking forward to more once we get out of our rookie cards. Good job CDC!
