Avalanche Win Western Conference Finals 2022 Game 1 8-6! What A Game To Recap.

I'm being completely honest readers, I started writing at the start of Period 3.  It was that eventful of a Western Conference Final Game 1.  Let's do this all!

Period 1:

Goal 1 at 5:04 by Oilers From Kane.  

Goal 2 at 5:40 by Avalanche From Compher

Goal 3 at 15:10 by Avalanche From McKinno 

Goal 4 at 19:37 by Oilers From Hyman

Goal 5 at 19:46 by Avalanche From Makar

Yes, 5 goals in the first period alone.  This was just the start of the game too.  Period 2 would prove just as exciting with several goals of it's own, from both teams!  For those trying to keep pace here, the score going into Period 2 was Avalanche on top 3-2.  

Goal 6 at 0:32 by Avalanche From Kadri

Goal 7 at 2:59 by Oilers From McLeod 

Goal 8 at 4:38 by Avalanche From Rantansn 

Goal 9 at 6:20 by Avalanche From Compher 

Goal 10 at 16:20 by Avalanche From Cogliano

Goal 11 at 16:51 by Oilers From McDavid

As I said, the scoring didn't slow down in Period 2!  At this point in the game we had 11 goals and the score was 7-4 Colorado Avalanche on top.  More scoring in the third period?  Sure, why not!

Goal 12 at 3:28 by Oilers From Ryan.  

Goal 13 at 12:36 by Oilers From Nugent-Hopkins

Goal 14 at 19:38 by Avalanche From Landeskog 

The final would be 8-6 Avalanche Win.  Wow, what a game!  14 goals total, lead change after lead change and so close to Overtime it seemed t be inevitable.  However, this game would not need extra time.  Still, what an amazing series opener and Conference Final Game 1.  Game 2 will be on TNT at 8:00 PM EST Thursday evening.  Remember, tomorrow night is Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals for the Tampa Bay Lightning at the New York Rangers.  8:00 PM EST puck drop set there as well.  If tonight is a preview for what's to come in our road to the Stanley Cup 2022, this is going to be so fun hockey lovers!

Ottawa Senators @ Columbus Blue Jackets: 2024-25 NHL Season Game 76

A few special moments before we begin the recap tonight. First, congratulations to Meredith Gaudreau, her children, and the extended Gaudreau family on the birth of Carter Michael Gaudreau. I sigh in relief, knowing that he is here and both mom and baby are doing well. I love seeing the photos of him with his big sister, Noa, and brother, Johnny Jr. In addition, the fact Carter was the same size and weight as his dad when born could move you to tears, it has me.  Another big moment tonight as the puck dropped; congratulations to Erik Gudbranson on game 800 of his NHL Career! He would have a point tonight, too, but I'm getting way ahead of myself!  Yes, the cannon still works at Nationwide Arena, and it got a workout tonight! After being shut out at home and on the road, back-to-back, you can only go up, and the Blue Jackets rose to the occasion out of necessity tonight. Dimitri Voronkov would add goal twenty-one to his season, giving the Blue Jackets their first goal in three ...

Zach Werenski Adds Another Achievement to His 2024-25 NHL Season

Normally, I have to share articles by the NHL because I'm usually working when this kind of news is announced, but today, I'm not! Zach Werenski is proving to doubters that this NHL Season will go down as one of the best in his career. Today, we learned of another achievement he's added to the long list of record-breaking moments, point streaks, and team-leading assists and total points. Zach Werenski, across the league, has added the Third Star of January to this list now, too. Aside from his spectacular goal last night to clench the win for his team in overtime at the Utah Hockey Club, the man has poured on the points in the first month of 2025. His total for just 31 days was six goals and eleven assists for a grand total of seventeen points. He accomplished this over the span of just fourteen games. Keep in mind he averages a little less than playing half the game in every game. The Columbus Blue Jackets have several great defensemen and young ones showing promise, but Z...

Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau: One Year in Memoriam

I've never lied to my readers, and I won't start now; I do not want to write this post. Then again, who would want to? It's been one year since we all learned the devastating news that an 'alleged' drunk driver had killed Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau while riding their bikes. Honestly, 'devastating' doesn't feel like a strong enough word for how I still feel, and how I know many of you all do, too. It had been the evening before their sister's wedding. We already knew that Matthew's wife, Madeline, was expecting their first child, a son later named Trip, but at the funeral, we'd also learn that Johnny's wife, Meredith, had been expecting their third child, another son they named Carter. The fact that both women had healthy babies amid the stress of losing their partners is nothing short of a prayer answered. The strength of these two women is incredible, as they don't just raise their combined four children without the loves of their l...
