Ontario Reign 21-22 Thread 2: Reigndrops keep falling on my head

[Raccoon Jesus]

Aaaaand a tie game!

This is fun.

One of my absolute favorite things about this board is seeing negative posts about the Reign if they get behind early in a game.

Never mind their record, never mind how awesome they've looked... if they're down a goal or two someone has to say SOMETHING and then inevitably they storm back and make the game interesting and I chuckle.

Reign are
PP 2/4
PK 5/5
against a very good team.
Refreshing!

Edit:
PK 4/4
..sorry

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pospisil with ANOTHER high hard hit from behind this time to Turcotte, PP time

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

THERE is the official Spence assist!

Fagemo just one times it right thru Wolf's 5-hole. Tie game again.

 

[RaymondReddington]

And we're tied!
Another PP goal...
Fagemo (15), from Frk and Spence (!)

The play by play guy calling it a good hit was mildly infuriating

 

[Fishhead]

Vilardi has been a powerplay machine, can't say that wouldn't be welcome on the big club.

Lets go Reign deny Wolf his 20th win. Will be first for the Heat franchise.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Gaunce showing off exactly why he couldn't play the next level

What a catastrophic barely-forced error

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Villalta is trash, one of the stupidest save reactions i've ever seen.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a backcheck by Turcotte!

And surprise Pospisil STILL holding Spence, nothing

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oh my god Turcotte

Gave Kupari most of the net and he missed completely

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Great block on a Frk one timer by Valimaki And Pelletier gives him a hug

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I don't think the Reign deserve this one--but it's a refreshing change watching special teams drag a team into the game when they're getting worked pretty hard 5v5--but the biggest difference in a playoff series is Wolf v. Villalta. It's no contest, I'd take Heat in 6 easy.

 

[RaymondReddington]

Toed up!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Tie game, Kupari on a Moverare rebound!

Love the resilience!

Bonus, these announcers might cry!

 

[All The Kings Men]

I'm beginning to wonder if Craig Johnson is a really really really good coach.

 

[RaymondReddington]

Turcotte is too unselfish sometimes..needs to shoot more...was in the slot, tried to get it to Vilardi

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm beginning to wonder if Craig Johnson is a really really really good coach.

He may be as well, good head for the game, but this is Hajt's doing, is it not?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Stole a point imo. Let's get that 2nd!

 

[RaymondReddington]

Going to OT...

 

[RaymondReddington]

There should be a rule for OT all levels--once you enter the o-zone you cannot leave until defense clears.
3 on 3 used to be exciting...

I'm not sure honestly but Johsnos won 3 natioanl titles, 2 second place finishes and a third place finish in 11 seasons as a high school hockey coach for a SoCal team.

Now the Reign, with an admittedly talented roster, turn into a power house... I dunno. I don't think it's any one thing but he's building a pretty good resume for himself.

EDIT: And everything I heard around the hallways was that CJ is the big systems nerd. Loves talking Xs and Os and strategies etc etc etc

I'm all for that. Delay of game penalty if you do...
