Competitive Analysis: Antoine Vermette

The most memorable moment in hockey history came thirty-four years ago with the 1980 Miracle on Ice. The Americans defeating the dominant Soviet team at the Olympics was not only an important triumph for USA Hockey, but for the entire nation. Contrary to popular belief, the underdog win was not only the result of a miracle; it was also the result of a hard-working team led by Coach Herb Brooks. With increasingly negative views on the position of the United States in the Cold War, the Miracle on Ice and the gold medal win lifted the spirits of the nation and brought hockey into the American spotlight.

Game one started easy enough when junior Ian Graham was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the first. However, Centenary exploded for 17 runs in the bottom of the third – believed to be the most runs scored in a single frame by the Gents in team history. Senior Michael Schimpf walked and scored on junior Chris Zapata’s home run down the

It seemed as though hope had been revived in the fourth quarter when an 80-yard run by Baldiviez put some points up on Dana’s end of the board. With 49 seconds remaining, Junior Corey Cisowski found Senior Ryder Lynch who finished off the game with a 6-yard touchdown.

The Gents led by nine in heading into the second period, but a 12-3 run by Rust in the first six minutes of the final period tied the game. After neither team scored in more than 1:30, Dominique Brown made two free throws and Antono Jones made a layup. Kirkendoll took a defensive rebound coast-to-coast, but a layup by Jones and two free throws by Allen Potts cut the lead to three. A Jones layup cut the Centenary lead to one.

The 3rd started and the fans of the Rangers saw a familiar face score for the Jackets,

Desharnais drove across the crease past Hutchinson on the play that led to the Canadiens' second goal at 16:26, when Fleischmann tapped in a rebound at the right side of the net.

With the fifth set tied at nine, Centenary scored 4-of-5 to take a 13-10 lead. Frey and Lazewski put Sandoval serve with a block, and an ace and Howard Payne error put Centenary up three. However, the Yellow Jackets ran off five straight points to steal the win. Zhartezia Bradley put the Yellow Jackets on serve with a kill, and a Macy Maniscalo kill and a Cheyanne Lavelady ace tied the match.

There was about 15 seconds left and I had been working my cross arm series with him but not getting anything. At the end of the first period it was 2-0.

The Panthers again dominated play, especially 5v5, and led New York in shot attempts over 96 minutes of grueling hockey, 96-68, with 48 of those landing on target. And none was more crucial than in the first overtime, when Calvin de Haan closed his hand on the puck just outside the blue paint, leading to a penalty shot opportunity for sniper Aleksander Barkov.

There is 1:15 left in the game and the Chicago Blackhawks are down 1-2 against the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final of 2013. The Blackhawks are winning the series 3-2, but it looks like Boston is about to force the series into a game 7. The puck is passed across net to Brian Bickell who releases a shot that goes right between the goalie's legs for a goal. The Blackhawks have tied the game up 2-2. Then they are off again, trying to score to escape the overtime that seems unavoidable. No less than 17 seconds later, Dave Bolland from the Blackhawks put the puck in the back of the net with 58.3 seconds left in the game. The clock quickly winds down to zero and the team explodes; jumping up and down in celebration because the Chicago Blackhawks

Newtown hit back on the hour mark when Josh Cleeland put a grubber down the short side, and Nielsen spilled the ball while back-tracking to retrieve it, and it bounced into the arms of Jacob Gagan who locked up the scores after Fa’amanu Brown perfectly converted.

21 to 21 with 1:01 left on the clock. I went from glancing at the clock to returning my attention to the huddle. Looking around the huddle I saw all of my teammates that I admired most. Cole Garrett, Alex Koplin, Connor Collins, Nathan Puckett. All of their faces seemed tired, soaked in

Marner has three assists, all of them coming with the man advantage, and was named as the games second star. Tkachuk has a career-high five point game, and Dvorak added one goal and two assists of his own. Mississauga was paced by defenseman Stephen Gibson, who scored his first two goals of the season. The Steelheads scratched Sean Day, who is believed to be fighting the flu.

Commentator Adam says “Windsor ducks on the counter attack, this doesn’t look good for the Toronto Mustangs but let’s see how well their defensive line does with stopping this attack.” The Toronto defense came out strong there and got the ball to the attacking line. The attacking line are now on an counter attack where they are successful and make the score 1-0. The goal was scored by Sarah and it was a fantastic curved shot that ended up in the back of the net. The first half was coming to an end with the score being 2-1.

The young Edmonton captain didn’t score a goal as the Oilers beat the Canadiens 1-0 in a shootout, but he was named the first star and was exciting to watch every time he hit the ice, logging 25:07. He had a game-high six shots on goal and drew three penalties with his blazing speed.
