Game 6 AMS at Spokane

Caution—probably a lot of the F-bombs tonight. Just sayin’

Pregame—Westie, over the internet feed, not on the air, is discussing the less-than-stellar performance of Carey Price in net tonight for the Canadiens. Boooooooo.

Hoffer has a conkie and will be out tonight and tomorrow if there is a game 7. Shit. Even Westie admits the kids has been pretty much the MVP of this series so far (besides Chet). Um, yah. Blackwater hassled the Hoff. Not cool Juddley.

Coach says: we play well in this rink, we’ve done it before. Gonna have to play a good game, that’s all there is to it. Great series, could be 3-2 AMS, both teams have competed so hard. No game has been a blowout. AMS got hunger, we’re not done yet. Hoffer out, need someone to step up, lost the best penalty killer. Joel Ridgeway taking his place. Hoff has been one of the best forwards in the playoffs. Energy guy. (The Chuck Norris of Hockey, if you will). Guys gotta step up. Taylor has to get on the score sheet. Guys gotta put personal shit behind them and step and be that guy, put in the team effort. (remember, there is no “I” in team. There is no “I” in hockey. Period. There is an “I” in period. But not in hockey). First 10 minutes will be important because Chiefs like to come out hot and then play on the lead. Important for AMS to get the first goal and go off that momentum.

Scratches—Jason Gardiner, Lane Werbowski, and Drew Hoff. So Mason plays. Interesting. But what else do ya do?

Shaun Vey takes a hooking penalty on Drayson Bowman. The tv feed is about 45 seconds behind radio. No, other way around. Whatever, it’s very confusing.

Fuck. Chiefs score. Judd Fucking Blackwater. Chet? How do you miss that?????? Beat Chet from about 30 feet out. Sonovabitch.

Not seeing a lot on hunger at this point. Better wake the hell up.

Penalty against Kelner, first chance for Americans on the power play tonight. They’d better fucking capitalize.

Tight checking period so far. Which is fine, just not much to blog about.

Wilgosh, Ridgeway, and Hughesman all on the same line. Risky. And it shows, having trouble getting it out of their own end. But who do you plug in and where? Man, I miss Drew Hoff. Really a lot.

Chiefs having some territorial advantage here in the waning moments of the 1st.

Penalty on the Americans’ Adam Hughesman for interference. I read coachs’ lips, he says “a fucking joke.”

Penalty to McCrae, so 4-on-4 for a bit.

End of the 1st. 1-0 Chiefs.

Coach doing interview, thought AMS took themselves out of the game with the penalties and need to get their shit together. Well, he didn’t say that but still.

Now interviewing Justin Falk. BFF asked me if I wanted to listen to it, I said “yah, I wanna hear what the Falk he has to say.” I hate him. Shut the Falk UP!

Good shift for the kiddo line. Couple of good shots by Pro and Reddick. Pro’s timing has been just off this series. So says BFF, and I agree.

Chet just shit his pants. BFF too. But he made the save, a pad stack. Holy shit. Don’t do that.

Chiefs penalty, hooking penalty to DRAYSON BOWMAN. Bitch. AMS better capitalize. FUCK, hit the post, Brett Plouffe, had Tokarski beat too. Gaaaa. Killing me.

Come on boys. Fucking Radek Meidl takes a slashing penalty. BFF just rattled off quite a few F-bombs, really unlike her. She’s pised.

PETR SCORES!!!!!!!! With 1:28 left in the 2nd he ties it up!!! I heart Petr. He may or may not get to see my big boobies (TOTAL INSIDE JOKE, NOT FOR REAL).

My grinding line kicks ass.

After 2nd period 1-1 tie. Pro on the tv, nice ‘stache buddy. Guh-reasy.

BFF just flicked my arm. A lot. I said a shitty comment and totally deserved it.

Wow, new cliché line “Somebody is going to lose this series.” No shit, Sherlock.

Blair Macaulay takes a penalty. Shit. A hooking penalty at that. Poopers.

They killed it but Chiefs on quite a tear, AMS can’t get it out of the zone.

Tyler Johnson takes out Chet, takes his mask off, and no goaltender interference call. Seriously??? What game are you watching??

Just over 9 minutes left. BFF may or may not be drunk, screaming deliriously at the television. For real. It’s scaring me a little.

Chet robs Drayson Bowman. That is the 9th shot this period and Americans have none in that same span. Um, that’s not gonna get it done, let’s get forechecking. Passion, hunger, swagger.

Holy shit. AMS can’t even get it out while the Chiefs run a 1-2-2 forecheck.

Americans will get a power play. Rutherford takes a high sticking penalty on Schmidt. C.A.P.I.T.A.L.I.Z.E.

Holy fuck. Blackwater just missed that pass or it’d be all over. Just under 3 minutes left in regulation. More than just nervous time now.

2:11 left. AMS only 2 shots on goal for the period. Jeebus.

1:39 left in regulation.

1 minute left.

49.7 left. Tokarski stops hard shot by Meidl.

Faceoff in front of Tokarski.

30.7 seconds.

Nachbaur calls a timeout. Hmmm. Interesting decision with 30 seconds left. Oh, because of the icing.

Overtime. Again.

Justin Falk “special” on the in-between feature. I may punch the television. Sorry, BFF. She might punch me for wanting to watch it, even though I’m just yelling at the tv. She’s yelling at me. Woah. And my boss keeps calling and texting me wanting updates. Silliness, I tell ya.

Getting ready for the overtime, Chetters leads the boys out onto the ice.

Chet gloves another Bowman shot.

Quick shot by Yellowhorn, Tokarski hangs on. Keep it in the zone, nope. Boy, I reeeeeeeaaaalllly don’t like that little Tyler Johnson. He’s gonna be a pain in my ass for a long time.

Jared Spurgeon takes down Procyshen and takes a penalty. AMS get a power play. Come on, boys!! Tik robs Yellowhorn. Shit.

KRUISE REDDICK WINS THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, Mitch McColm on the post-game interview. love that kid. now that's a fucking hockey player.
