Personal Narrative: Blues Knock Out Blackhawks

492 Words2 Pages

Blues Knock Out Blackhawks in Epic Game 7 This game will go down in history as one of greatest Game 7s ever witnessed. I am not a fan of either team, but my heart was racing till the final second. In the end, after an exhausting battle, the St. Louis Blues came out on top with a 3-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup champs the Chicago Blackhawks. The Blues chance for advancing was carried out by a goal from Troy Brouwer with a little over 12 minutes left in the third. It was not a pretty goal, though. Brouwer just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. Trying to redirect a pass from Robby Fabbri, the puck hit the post. Brouwer tried twice to make contact with the returning puck until it reached the back of the net. The …show more content…

The Blackhawks failed to give up. They pushed a Game 6 after Patrick Kane scored in the thrilling double overtime. They forced a Game 7 with a dominating presence on the ice. They even managed to tie this game when the odds were against them. The team really stepped up. Kane had 1 goal and 7 points in this series. Andrew Shaw and Duncan Keith both missed a game due to suspensions and still managed to get 4 goals – 6 points and 3 goals – 5 points, respectfully. Corey Crawford stepped up in a big way in the series. Even with the unfortunate goal, Crawford made 205 saves and allowed 19 goals. There’s nothing the Blackhawks should be disappointed in. Well, maybe not being able to beat the Blues’ goalie, Brian Elliot. With an impressive 254 saves and 18 goals allowed, Elliot came out as the star of the series. Though the Hawks may have finally figured him in Game 6 where he allowed 5 goals on 30 saves, the playoff veteran knew how to get his composure back for a big win. Judging by Game 1 where the teams went into overtime with a 0-0 tie, we could already sense this was going to be the best series. Whoever you were rooting for, at least you were entertained by the most intense series of the playoffs so far. We can only hope for more series like this in the upcoming

    The story hasn 't changed of late, Jeff Locke continued the strong streak of Pirates ' pitching in a 3-2 win over the White Sox yesterday; Gerrit Cole will look to do the same tonight against Jeff Samardzija and the White Sox. Last night, the Pirate bats exploded in the first inning by putting up three runs in a hurry, but that 's all they could muster throughout the night. If Locke and the Pirates ' bullpen wouldn 't have been so good, the Pirates -- more than likely -- would 've added a tally to the loss column.

    Kieffer Bellows (USNTDP) – USHL In what projects to be a difficult game, Daniel Vladar will be entrusted with goaltending duties against the United States Development Team this weekend. Vladar was considered as one of the best Czech goaltenders for his age group, and was highly successful during his junior career with HC Kladno back home. In North America for the first time, the adjustment to the smaller ice surface has been a challenging one, especially for such a position cognizant goaltender like Vladar. He has been given the majority of the starts for Chicago thus far, and will hope to improve upon his .896 save-percentage. Kieffer Bellows is no stranger to the USHL, having recently won a Clark Cup with the Sioux Falls Stampede.
