2020 NCAA Hockey Tournament - What If: A Simulation of the 2019-2020 Postseason

Re: 2020 NCAA Hockey Tournament - What If: A Simulation of the 2019-2020 Postseason

This game sounds like a treat
 
Re: 2020 NCAA Hockey Tournament - What If: A Simulation of the 2019-2020 Postseason

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLL. Shane Pinto.

Westin Michaud lifts Gerard's stick in the neutral zone to take the puck away, and finds Weatherby along the far boards, who skates the puck into the Mavs zone. Weatherby then muscles past Hookenson to get to the bottom of the far circle. Weatherby tosses the puck on net, which McKay is able to get a piece of, but Pinto is right on the top of the crease, corrals the rebound, and punches it through McKay's five hole to tie the game back up at two aside.

Both sides flying up and down the rink right now looking for the go-ahead goal. Michaelis brought the puck in through the neutral zone, flipped it over to Tuomie at the far circle, and Tuomie unleashed a one-timer that flew over the crossbar, rang off the glass and came to Sowder's stick at the bottom of the near circle. Sowder dished it back to McNeely, who wristed the puck on net that sailed through traffic just caught Scheel's stick. North Dakota then got the puck, and gained the neutral zone before Poolman flipped the puck in to the Mavs zone. Cole Smith won the race to the puck near the far corner, and found Senden in the slot. Senden's wrister was on target, but McKay's outstretched glove nabbed the puck before crossing the goal line and we remained tied at 2.

And that's the end of the second period. Should be an entertaining third period!

After 2 periods of play:

Lots of play in the neutral zone to start the final stanza. If you like strong defensive hockey, then you are thoroughly enjoying the opening action in the third.

Michaud hits the post!!! Kiersted gains control of the puck in the UND zone, and then threads an absolute beauty up the ice to Pinto, who attempts to split the Mavs defensemen, but has the puck just knocked off his stick. Pinto wins the race to the loose puck at the bottom of the near circle, and finds Michaud streaking into the slot. Michaud's one-timer beats McKay, but rings off the near post. North Dakota that close to taking the lead.

North Dakota putting a ton of pressure on McKay, but the Sophomore sensation is up to the task. McKay follows up a great pad save on Poolman's blast from the point, then Bernard-Docker's shot from the slot is blockered aside. Finally, McKay decides to glove Smith's wrister from near the goal line at the near boards. The Fighting Hawks have the momentum here early in the third, but unable to solve McKay.

McKay makes another beauty of a glove save. This time, Adams wins an offensive zone faceoff back to Frisch. The Freshman blueliner dumps it back down behind the Mavs net, and Mismash gains control of the puck, and finds Kawaguchi sneaking in at the near circle. Kawaguchi lasers a wrister that looks for certain to find the back of the net, but McKay just gets his glove over in time to snag the Hobey Hat Trick finalists' shot and keep the game tied at 2.

Keep it up boys! I see a third or fourth line goal coming!
 
Re: 2020 NCAA Hockey Tournament - What If: A Simulation of the 2019-2020 Postseason

It's all Fighting Hawks right now. Jasper Weatherby gains control of the puck along the near boards in the neutral zone, and skates into the Mavericks' end. Weatherby floats a wrister on net that McKay kicks away, but the rebound goes right to Michaud in the far circle, and Michaud rips a wrister that McKay is forced to blocker away and up into the netting.

North Dakota will head to the powerplay. Kawaguchi gains control of the puck along the near boards and pushes it back to Benard-Docker, who passes it over to Poolman. Poolman then unleashes a slapper from the top of the slot that deflects off a Mavs' blueliner and wide of the net. The puck caroms off the boards and right towards Kawaguchi's stick. MacKey slashes Kawaguchi's stick to prevent the Grade A chance, and the ref's arm goes straight up. UND will go on the man advantage.

Uff da! Kawaguchi holds the puck down in the near corner, pushes it around the boards to Poolman at the far point. Poolman flips a wrister on net. Cole Smith, standing at the top of the crease, deflects the puck, past McKay, but it trickles juuuuuuust wide of the net.
