Seahawks GK: Shane Masters D: BH Borisc D: James Hughes LW: Dexter Astele C: Brett Gemmell RW: Luka Popovic Falcons GK: Michael Chung D: Bobby Blunder D: Jack Dempsey LW: Ben Manera C: Ben Herd RW: Andrew James We're here at Slicing Ice Arena for the first game of the semi finals series between the Seahawks and the Falcons. A game that boasts 4 players from the team of the season (Masters, Hughes, Blunder, Herd), it should be a good game and series. Both teams will be looking to take the upper hand in such a short series, with a win here putting the other team under massive pressure for game 2.
C'mon Seahawks prove the doubters wrong. We are the greatest, we were supposed to be relegated according to some we have come further than expected lets continue. Looking for a big game from Gemmell and Masters.
End of 1st Period: Seahawks 0, Falcons 0 A tough opening here, with both teams showing aggression. IT didn't take long for it to spill over into a fight between Herd and Borisc after what herd felt was a bit of a cheap shot. Herd managed to put Borisc on his arse but both ended up serving time in the box for it anyway. Most of the period was dominated by hitting, specifically hitting of Gemmell. The Falcons seemed to target him somewhat, perhaps they think he's their most dangerous players, or perhaps they just like to hammer him.
Keep it up Gemmell. Maybe it they all pay attention to you Popovic will be able to come from behind and score unexpectedly.
End of 2nd Period: Seahawks 0, Falcons 1 Goals: Herd (1) Assists: Manera (1) The Falcons take the lead in the 2nd after a good hit by Blunder got the puck free and was picked up by Manera. Manera got it off to Herd at the right time and he put it away with ease to give the Falcons the lead. The Seahawks are playing catch up now and they don't have a lot of time to do it.
C'mon Seahawks, probably good it is a best of 3 tbh. We need a big moment from someone now, Gemmell? Borisc? Maybe I will have to do it myself?
End of 3rd Period: Seahawks 0, Falcons 1 Goals: Herd (1) Assists: Manera (1) Game over here, the Falcons take the first win and put the Seahawks under immense pressure for the next round of the series will which be at the Georgia Dome. Th Seahawks tried hard in the 3rd period but most of their shots were more desperate then well worked or planned and it's tough to beat Chung at the best of times.
