09:58that's two in a row
10:01on a deflected shot
10:02everyone always talks about the stick positioning
10:04how about the timing
10:05to get to the slot area as well

10:09and redirect it
10:20just here in the late stages of this frame

11:12she's got really good skills james
11:14and she's confident
11:14but this is a product of holding onto the puck
11:16too long
11:17you have to know exactly where you are on the ice
11:19you always have to know the game time
11:20and game management
11:21you're up
11:22you're winning
11:22you've got to find a way to make the safe run
11:26here they come

11:31minnesota's got a hold of it against the wall
11:34slides it diagonally to brown

12:21pass by her last save without standing
12:23giving her team a lifeline right here
12:25taking away a high danger opportunity
12:27you've got to protect the inner slot
12:28and when you don't
12:29you need your goaltender to come up huge
12:39minnesota's put a lot of pucks on net
12:41so far here in this first period
12:43but they still find themselves trailing late
12:47and they win the draw here in their own end
12:56both teams getting a good sweat on after this first period
12:59we've got lots more in store
13:01and we're coming back with a clean sheet of ice
13:03looking for an initial run for your team
13:06don't forget team at the point
13:08is right around the corner
13:10the first 3,000 fans in the arena
13:13will pick up the potential team at
13:26we'll see you then
13:27out there
13:27you
17:46And that's intercepted by Cheney.
17:49And that's intercepted by Cheney.
17:49Through the neutral zone up along the wing.
17:53Along the half wall with the puck.
17:56Hammers it on net.
17:57Oh, and she ran it all the way perfectly on the one-timer.
18:05Still plenty of time left.
18:07Still plenty of time left in this frame.
18:08And it's a 2-0 hockey game.
18:11The frozen biscuits.
18:13The frozen biscuits dropped.
18:14The frozen biscuits dropped and we are back underway here.
18:41When you're going to be right back.
18:41When you get to this area.
18:42When you get to this area, it's not about power, James.
18:44It's about precision.
18:45You have to be an accurate shooter.
18:46You know where the goaltender is.
18:47You've got to find the holes.
18:59Minnesota's found some offense.
19:00And now they suddenly have made this game a lot more interesting here in the second.
19:04And they changed the momentum.
19:05You can see it in the body language and the confidence.
19:08They've got themselves within striking distance of an even game.
19:14Long lead pass into the neutral zone.
19:17Pre-directed off a stick.
19:20Pays it up from the puck.
19:22Oh, what a save in front.
19:25Handles the puck.
19:28Moves it quickly over to someone's hole.
19:32And she catches that one with the glove.
19:35Mashfire's going to look for the breather here and slow it down.
19:38Do you like this strategy?
19:39Well, I don't like this strategy, James.
19:41I mean, she hasn't been busy this period.
19:42But she's electing to stay engaged, get a little bit of a feel for the puck
19:45and hold it on for the whistle.
19:47Vancouver's got the win off that draw.
19:51Here they come up along the wing.
19:56Minnesota's gained possession along the boards.
19:58Nice dish from the left wing.
20:00And that's poked away.
20:05Horses to turn over in the neutral zone.
20:08Minnesota's been excellent tonight, James.
20:09They found ways to work hard on and off of the puck.
20:12And when they're away from it,
20:13they've really done a great job of being in good position
20:16to be able to take away lanes and angles, seams, you name it.
20:19But it has to translate to something.
20:21This is still a close game.
20:23Denies that opportunity.
20:26Coming down the left wing and into the zone.
20:29Here's a chance in front.
20:30And she off to look for a better play here.
20:34And a great scene.
20:36In front and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
20:42Minnesota's look good offensively to this point, but they continue to trail here in the second.
20:50Petrie's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
20:55Buckbinder's lugging the puck.
20:57Dishes it to Petrie.
20:59Oh, and she avoids the poke choke.
21:02Shot!
21:03Scores!
21:05That looked like that bounced off the defender and into the net!
21:11You can just see the frustration on her face and in her body language here, James,
21:15as that puck just deflects off of her in front of the net and winds up in her own net.
21:35We haven't even hit the midway mark of the period.
21:38The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
21:46Brown's going to play it against the half wall.
21:50Grabbed along the board by Greco.
21:54Flores moves the puck.
21:56Taken by Petrie.
22:00Takes a nice feed up through the middle now.
22:03Can't get it to go.
22:05Sends it over to Kava.
22:08Vancouver's in on the offensive attack now.
22:11Oh, what a save on her part.
22:13That thing was sizzling.
22:15Here's a short pass to Petrie.
22:19Takes the shot.
22:20Off target.
22:23Sends it in front.
22:24And that chance is blocked.
22:28Inside the offensive end now down the left.
22:31Pass on front.
22:32And she denies that opportunity.
22:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:36Speeds it over.
22:41Picked up along the wall by Petrie.
22:45Puck picked up by Kerr.
22:47Here's a shot.
22:49Big save in front.
22:50James, these are the types of saves that can be game-changing and switching all to the momentum,
22:55but her team needs to do a better job of shoring up that slot area.
22:58Those point-blank saves are tough to come by.
23:03Teams are ready to go, and we're about moments away from puck drop.
23:13And they win the faceoff and set up to go on the attack.
23:16Ozone faceoff, James.
23:18Critical time to gain possession with that clean win.
23:20And the entire group, they get that puck moving around and a real opportunity on net.
23:25And a stick in the lane ends that threat.
23:28Tremendous blocker save on her part.
23:32Quick pass to Thompson.
23:35Puck grab by Bard.
23:38There's the one-timer!
23:41Paisley's gonna hang on to the puck for a whistle.
23:46The bench just erupted when she made that 10-bell save, James.
23:49I think everyone thought it was in the back of the net, but she knew different.
23:52To be able to get to that puck, it was all about desperation and compete to keep it out of
23:57the net.
24:00Here in the back half of this period, we've got a tie game.
24:09Minnesota's won the draw.
24:12Morey's got it in the defensive end.
24:14And tries to make it diagonal past the curve.
24:18Archie keeps that one over.
24:20Vancouver's gonna hold it along the wall.
24:22Feeds it to Miller.
24:27Vancouver's got the puck against the boards.
24:30Slides and it drops!
24:33Looks to set up at the point now.
24:37Pists it over!
24:38Denied by Hensley.
24:40Goaltender covers it up and will get a reset here.
24:53And they win the defensive zone face-off.
24:58Right up Main Street out of the attack.
25:01And that's broken up.
25:03Vancouver's got control of it now from their own end.
25:07Quick feed to Jix.
25:09Here's the transfer in the attack.
25:12Turns it over the slot.
25:14Decides to think about it.
25:17Picked up by Young.
25:20Minnesota's got it in the offensive zone.
25:22Here's the pass it through.
25:24And she denies that opportunity.
25:27Vancouver's got possession of the puck.
25:31Pucks head over to Miller.
25:33Dishes it up.
25:36Minnesota's got it in their own zone.
25:38Yes!
25:40Moves it over to Steckline.
25:44From the point, looks to make something happen.
25:50Vancouver's got the puck along the boards.
25:54They try to maintain possession inside the defensive zone.
25:59Fires it on net.
26:00And the shot dies in the traffic jam.
26:05Makes a move in front.
26:07And a huge stop by the goaltender at point-blank range.
26:11Well, her timely reaction gets her into a set position to be able to make this save from a real
26:16dangerous spot in the middle of the ice.
26:21Well past the midway mark of this period.
26:24You can feel the energy in this crowd.
26:27It's a tie game.
26:29Panix won the draw.
26:31Back at the point, they set it up.
26:33Vancouver's got the puck.
26:35Moves it to Boreen.
26:37Vancouver's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
26:41Moves the puck into the attacking area.
26:45Fires it!
26:45Comes up with a stop.
26:47Nashville is making saves and finding ways to put the puck to the corner.
26:52And just cleaning up the trash and making sure there's no second shots.
26:55The frost of the puck in the defensive zone.
26:59Showing on for Redsward Taylor.
27:03Takes a shot.
27:05Oh, she comes up with the glove save.
27:08Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
27:13Here in the late going into the frame.
27:15We are all tied up in this one.
27:21Minnesota's won the draw.
27:23Stopped by the goalkeeper getting the piece of that one.
27:38Oh, she's trying to slow her opponent down as she competes for the puck and she's going to get the
27:42interference call because of it.
27:52Yeah, guys, this power play is ranked top ten in the league and you don't want them to start off
27:58on the right foot here but as we go into their first one of the game, if they get a
28:01chance, they might capitalize on it.
28:06Delayed penalty coming up here.
28:09Puts it on there.
28:10And she turns that one aside.
28:13Swings the field across.
28:15And she denies that opportunity.
28:18Whistle blows stopping the play.
28:21McQuinn's going off to the box for two minutes.
28:23This is going to be an interference call, James, and she steps in the way of her opponent and just
28:28impedes that forward movement.
28:30Anytime you do that and the officials there, you're going to get the call.
28:37What an opportunity for the power play here.
28:39They've got lots of time to work this five on three.
28:42With all this time on the five on three, yes, you can be more patient, but you don't want to
28:47get a little sleep on the outside.
28:49You have to move the coverage a little bit outside of the middle of the ice to be able to
28:54open up those lanes and execute.
28:56Tries to feed it over to Croyne.
28:59Carries the pucks through the neutral zone.
29:01Blinds by the check.
29:05Vancouver's got the puck shorthanded.
29:06They clear the zone.
29:09Receives the pass.
29:11The Frost have it now.
29:13Croyne complete the pass as it goes off a stick.
29:22Minnesota's got it in the wrong zone.
29:25Picked up along the boards by Croyne.
29:28Flash Meyers faced a ton of shots tonight and not just easy ones on the perimeter.
29:32I mean, she's facing high danger shots and she's making those saves, giving her team an opportunity to win.
29:37They're going to have to find a way to clean it up in particular in the middle of the ice
29:40and give themselves a chance.
29:43And that's intercepted by Jakes.
29:47Carol hang on to the puck after the play.
29:50Sends it to the middle!
29:52And she denies that opportunity!
29:54Go, go, go!
29:56Go, go!
29:59Trying to get something going here with this man advantage as they start from their own end.
30:04moves it quickly over to Thompson

30:11takes it along the wall by Thompson
30:13she blocked it
30:14well she does a great job too James
30:16she anticipates and recognizes that she's going to have to lead with her stick
30:19to be able to get in front of that puck
30:20does a great job, good quick feet
30:22and takes that puck away from the net front
30:24and the power play unit comes up empty on that one
30:28big time stop there
30:29well I really like this P.K. unit
30:32James just working in sync
30:34almost as if they're on a pendulum or a string
30:36together knowing exactly what the other is going to do
30:38and the reason they're still tied
30:41can't get a hold of that pass
30:44here's a shot
30:45and it will stop
30:51fast fire class day should give her team some life here
30:54James, I mean she saves and steals
30:57a goal right there, it's a high danger look
30:59that she's able to take away
31:09see if we can pick up some momentum again here
31:12as the faceoff is ready to go
31:16Minnesota's won it, now they'll go on the attack
31:19and here's a shot
31:22scores, a huge goal puts him in front
31:25well and persistence really pays off doesn't it James
31:28when you rear down your opponent eventually you'll capitalize
31:31and this is the case right here as they get the go ahead
31:34when we have a look at it James it looks like it's redirected
31:38and that's just beautiful timing and get the hands away from the body
31:42be able to get it to go the opposite direction of the goaltender
32:00the Frost have jumped in front late in period number two
32:03wow this is a huge and timely goal if they can hold on to this lead heading into the intermission
32:08you know that it's going to be a positive environment in the room

37:00She's in position to stand in front of a shot like this.
37:03She does it and she makes the save.
37:05Bashfire's been excellent tonight, James, making the saves that she needs to.
37:09And it's because of her positioning, I just feel like her balance is on point.
37:12She's tracking extremely well.
37:14Just finds herself in good spots in the net, so therefore not making herself vulnerable.
37:18Her team's got to find a way to generate some offense in front of her here and keep her in
37:23the game.
37:28Minnesotas have been on a roll offensively tonight, and they lead it here early in this third period.
37:36And they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
37:41Vancouver's looking to break out.
37:51Minnesota's been disrupting play all night long, and this is because of their stick position.
37:55You have to find ways to be aware and anticipate where that puck is going to be going.
38:00Doing a great job, but this is still a close one.
38:02They've got to find a way to generate some offense.
38:05Lots of time left in this period.
38:08Minnesota's hanging on to this 3-2 lead.
38:13Vancouver's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
38:17Channel's taken down to the ice.
38:19We've got a penalty coming up.
38:21Here's the chance to take advantage with the belayed penalty.
38:24They've got the extra attacker on the ice.
38:27Now a quick pass to Channel.
38:29That's a little bit of a save.
38:34They've got the puck in here in their own zone.
38:37Let's see the call here.
38:39Pearl's getting tuned for tripping.
38:41Up by one, and you take the penalty, applying some pressure to the PK unit here as a power play,
38:46as an opportunity to get the equalizer.
38:56Well, let's give us our first chance to take a look at the team's power play unit.
39:00James' opportunity is a real gift for the power play, and it's the reason why these personnel have been put
39:06on it.
39:07They have the specialty set of skills to be able to take it to the net, but it all starts
39:11with the face-off.
39:13Here's the shot.
39:14They're still fighting home on the power play, baby.
39:19The game's up here.
39:19Right from the beginning of that power play, James, and just look at the conference and open.
39:23The way they own the puck, the precision and the movements, the motion and the offensive zone,
39:28and they cash in to tie this game.
39:51Both teams are set, they're ready to drop the puck.
39:57And they win that drive center.
40:02Vancouver's got the puck.
40:04Here's a short pass to Stepline.
40:07Clearing attack.
40:17Well, after multiple scoring opportunities in the game, she finally cashes in with her first goal of the game here,
40:24James.
40:25Gotta love the resilience to just push through and fight back.
40:28I mean, with those chances, she could have got real frustrated, but she didn't.
40:32And she continued to push back, and she finally hits the back of the net.
40:49Lots of time left in this period.
40:51It's all tied up.
40:59Panic's won the draw, and they'll go in and attack.
41:02It's a strong defensive effort.
41:04Takes it and looks ahead.
41:06Works it across to Miller.
41:11Handles it along the blue line.
41:15Here's a shot, and she blocks it.
41:17Well, it was such an area, a great scoring chance.
41:20I don't even think she's thought.
41:21She's just had instincts relied on him and got in front of it.
41:24Oh, and a miss, Flyers.
41:25That goes right out of the zone.
41:29Quick feed down low.
41:32Looking to make something happen along the boards.
41:35Puck scooped up by Miller.
41:37And it goes off, a stick it off to the side.
41:40Quick pass to Thompson.
41:42Denied by the defender.
41:44Nice block.
41:46There's the puck at the line.
41:48They've really got on their heels here now.
41:52And they come away with position here at their own end.
41:56Look at her go.
41:59Oh, she gets caught.
42:01Big time stop there.
42:03I love that the goalie is ready for this shot.
42:05It is a threatening shot from the slot area, but she finds a way to challenge and make the save.
42:10Inching closer to the midway mark of the period.
42:13The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
42:18Vancouver's looking to break out at their own end.
42:21Moves the puck to the attacking area.
42:24Knocked away.
42:26Minnesota's got a hold of the puck.
42:30Stooped up along the wall by Bruderak.
42:32Angles it over to Morey.
42:35Breeds it perfectly and comes up with a takeaway.
42:40Slides the puck over.
42:44Takes it to the front.
42:47Passes over to Curl.
42:49Oh, and she tiptoes around the poke check and maintains possession.
42:54Vancouver's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
42:56And now it's grabbed by Manasova.
43:00Quick feed to Rosenthal.
43:02Puts it on that.
43:03Down with a stop.
43:06Minnesota's got the puck in the defensive end.
43:10Sends a pass over.
43:12Paisley's going to hang on for a whistle.
43:18Centers are set.
43:20Face off ready to resume play.
43:25Off the face off.
43:26They take the puck.
43:29Vancouver's got it from behind the net.
43:31Takes that pass back to the point.
43:34Feeds it over.
43:36Vancouver's got it near the point.
43:41Slides and it drops.
43:47Vancouver's looking to puck near the point.
43:49And that pulls off a player in front.
43:52Oh, and that pulls off one of her own teammates there in front.
43:55And play rolls on as she came up with a big stop there.
43:58Here we go.
44:00They've really ratcheted up the intensity here now in the Ozone.
44:03And here's a pass.
44:05Oh, that's blocked.
44:07And they pick up the puck here in the right.
44:13Shot turned aside with the glove by Mashmire.
44:17Puck is frozen and we're going to face off.
44:23Passed the halfway mark of this period.
44:26We got a tie game.
44:33Cab has won the draw inside her own end.
44:36Right in the low slot.
44:38Smaps it on net.
44:40Oh, stick save and a few.
44:43Takes the feed in the middle of the ice.
44:48Feed to the middle.
44:52Another pass.
44:54Another pass.
44:55What a chance when they can't connect.
45:00Well, this game is wild, James.
45:02End-to-end action.
45:03Let's just forget the defense, shall we?
45:05And just go with the goal calls.
45:08Gaining steam here on each half.
45:10Oh, how did she kick that off?
45:13Wow, what a stop.
45:14I thought that was in, James.
45:15I mean, I didn't even think she had a chance of getting to that puck.
45:18But talk about athleticism to make that save.
45:20Incredible.
45:23Slides a diagonal leap to Nurse.
45:28Passes it over.
45:30Hensley's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
45:35Oh, I just love that last save, James.
45:37Because it's the compete, the will that it takes to find that shot.
45:41And you know what?
45:42Goaltending coaches, all they want you to do is be in the right positions.
45:44You're always working on the ABCs of goaltending.
45:47But I'll tell you what.
45:48This is instincts.
45:49And instincts make saves when you need to be desperate.
46:00Looks like lineups are set and they're ready to get things back underway.
46:07And they take possession after the defensive zone face-off.
46:13Moves the puck.
46:34Moves it to Thompson.
46:37Sends the pass over.
46:38Denied by the bull tender.
46:43And she shakes off a check.
46:46Quick shot.
46:47Easily turned aside with the pass save.
46:50Quick pass across to Thompson.
46:52Here's a chance.
46:54Meshmeyer's going to opt for the smart play here, Cheryl, and get a whistle.
46:57Well, sometimes a simple and safe play is right in front of you.
47:00And she elects to just land on this.
47:02I love that she elects this strategy here, James.
47:05Because now all of a sudden you can get the temperature reset.
47:08You can get the alignment.
47:09Get the players out there that you want.
47:11We can take a breath.
47:12We got a whistle as the puck goes out of play.
47:19Late goings of this period.
47:21You can feel the energy in this crowd.
47:24It's a tie game.
47:29Rosenthal's running off the face-up.
47:32She handles the pass.
47:35Down the left wing and into the offensive zone.
47:39And that's knocked away by some Winkle.
47:42Can't pull the trigger.
47:45Go, go, go.
47:48And it's a quick pass to Bard.
47:51Back to the bulldog.
47:53And that goes off a player.
47:57Vancouver's got control of it now here in the offensive end.
48:00Slides it across.
48:02Passes it over.
48:04Dishes it off.
48:07Wow, what an incredible shift.
48:09They're so urgent all over the offensive zone.
48:11Coaches love these types of shifts.
48:14Pokes it away here in the neutral zone.
48:21Takes it up center.
48:25Here's a chance.
48:26And she snags that one with the glove.
48:29There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
48:34A big face-off here inside the offensive end.
48:42And they win the draw here in their own end.
48:45She takes the feed.
48:48Odd man rush.
48:50And that's a great heads-up play by Kerr.
48:54Gaining momentum up along the side.
48:57Gets it over to Greco.
49:02Vancouver's in now.
49:04Gets it over.
49:06The Frost have possession along the boards.
49:10She handles the feed.
49:13Moosa quickly over to Channel.
49:16Approaching the final minute of regulation.
49:21Shrug.
49:22Grabbed along the boards by Bard.
49:24Taken by Steckline.
49:27Tries to feed it over to Croyne.
49:31Takes the feed.
49:34Minnesota's through center and now in the offensive end.
49:39Kavis lugging the puck.
49:41Minnesota's got a hold of it along the wall.
49:43What a stop!
49:45Picked up along the wall by Gardner.
49:50Here's a short pass to Daniel.
49:55Pass it through it.
49:57And that shot's blocked.
50:00Vancouver's got a hold of it against the wall.
50:03Puck picked up by Steckline.
50:06Young's got it in the defensive end.
50:09Moves the puck along the half wall.
50:14Here's a shot.
50:15And she makes one loss.
50:19Scores the go-ahead goal.
50:21Well, the game is all about timing here, James.
50:24And now they're in front.
50:25So these next two shifts are critical.
50:27They want to play with a ton of energy
50:28and keep their opponent guessing.
50:31On the dying seconds of the third,
50:32they're able to capitalize on an opportunity, James.
50:35But I thought that throughout this third period,
50:37there was a ton of urgency and push to get that goal.
50:48Minnesota's coaches have to be impressed
50:49from what they're seeing from their players tonight.
50:52All sorts of scoring chances,
50:53and they lead late in the third.
50:56And that will close the puck on this one here tonight.
51:00Cheryl, at times it felt like they were chasing the puck
51:02more than they had it,
51:03but yet here they are with a win.
51:05And that's exactly what can happen
51:06when you stay in a game, James.
51:08I mean, you can feel like you're not playing well
51:10and you're chasing the game.
51:11When you get it on your stick
51:12and you can counterattack with efficiency,
51:14that's when you start to win games.
51:15And maybe you don't earn them.
51:17Well, that puts a bow on the regular season.
51:19And you know what that means?
51:20The playoffs await from all of us here at EA Sports.
51:24We'll see you then.
51:45We'll see you then.
