"Welcome to Reaper Coliseum in Valanora! Today, the ninth-ranked Kaboomlandia Phoenix will look to continue the momentum from their first game, while Lisander is making their debut in this tournament. Lyle Mace is starting this game in goal for the Phoenix, while Jean-Luc Anger gets the nod for Lisander."
"Four minutes into the first period of a fairly balanced game, Phoenix picking right up where they left off against Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland. Darryl Rutherford has the puck on the right side, dumps it into the zone, Phoenix making a full change for the first line as the Kid Line comes back on. Anger stops the puck behind the net, Huddleston back behind his own net to pick up the puck as both teams complete their changes. Zane Huddleston makes a quick pass across the zone for James Allegro, who skates over centre and tries a move outside on Bore, but he can't get past the Phoenix veteran and he wipes out over the blueline. Mace clears the puck away from his net, Bore behind the net for Strachan. Derek Strachan plays the puck off the boards and out, but Bryson Martin has the puck down the left side for a three-on-two. Martin crosses the blueline, stops and throws it across the ice where it's knocked down by Linden. Kennedy Linden shoots, but a quick glove save by Anger stops play."
"Nine minutes into the opening frame, still a scoreless game between Kaboomlandia and Lisander. Lynton and Horsfall two-on-two with Lindsay and Nash, but the puck is poked free and Philips picks it off. Adrian Philips back the other way on a quick breakout play. Philips crosses the blueline, flips the puck to Tyler Martin, shoots, stopped by Anger. Rebound is kicked out for Rutherford, back to the blueline for Herndon. Quick pass to Clooney, back to Herndon, shot it high and wide. Philips collects, goes behind the net, out to Clooney pinching in, shoots, SCORES! Some pretty passes, and Patrick Clooney opens the scoring for the Phoenix!"
"First period is winding down, but Lisander looking to tie the game up on a hooking call against Samsonov. Phoenix playing the box, Brandon Montagne has the puck on the back line. Montagne over to Zane Huddleston on the right side. Huddleston down low for Schiller, sharp-angle shot is blocked by Coderre. Schiller picks up the puck, back to Montagne. Brandon Montagne shoots from the point, stopped by Mace, Allegro shoots and scores! James Allegro picks up the rebound on the power play and the game is tied!"
"The first period is over, and these two teams are tied at one goal apiece from Patrick Clooney and James Allegro. However, Kaboomlandia was outshot 16-9 in that period and needs to step up their defense."
"Second period is getting underway here in a 1-1 game between Kaboomlandia and Lisander. 41 seconds in, puck is dropped back to Tyson Nash who plays it off the boards and out for Mikael Samsonov coming back the other way to backcheck. Samsonov plays a centring pass for Blacken, the big centre will just flip it into the end boards for a change. Now the second line is out, Tyler Martin goes straight for the forecheck. Toloni panics, tries a quick pass off the boards but Rutherford springs forward to pick it off. Darryl Rutherford with the big slapper, he scores! A bad turnover off an effective forecheck puts the Phoenix up by one!"
"Five minutes gone in the middle frame. Phoenix starting to control the play here in the Lisander end. Derek Strachan has the puck, down low on the left side for Martin. Bryson Martin skates it out, drops behind him for Strachan who shoots it into the corner for Zack Murray. Murray with the puck now, sets up to Strachan. Quick back pass to Murray, quick shot is off the handle of Anger's stick. Diez gets to it first, off the glass...and a bad bounce and Haines is speeding to this one! Tiago Haines crosses centre on a clean break, cutting in on Lyle Mace. Haines fakes, shoots, scores! A horrible bounce for Derek Strachan as the puck hits the stanchion and lands right on the stick of a Lisander player racing in the other direction for a beautiful breakaway goal!"
"Twelve and a half minutes into the second here, Phoenix now on the power play. Murray wins a face-off back to Strachan on the left side, quickly on the right to Herndon. Scott Herndon fakes a shot, quick pass down low for Linden. Kennedy Linden shoots, blocked away by Anger. Zack Murray gets the puck now, back to Strachan. Derek Strachan winds, fires, blocked by Donati. Murray picks up the puck in his skates, quick feed left side to Martin, Martin kicks it to his stick, shoots, SCORES! Bryson Martin puts the Phoenix back on top on the power play!"
"Five minutes left in period number two, Lisander buzzing. Leland Anderson tries to take the puck over the blueline but is turned away by Donati. Francesco Donati finds Haines going up the middle with a quick pass, Bore caught pinching and Lisander has a two-on-one with Aquino. Tiago Haines keeps, shoots, scores! Lisander has tied the game!"
"And as we go to the second intermission, the Phoenix and Lisander are locked in a 3-3 battle after two periods."
"Back we go for the third period from Reaper Coliseum in Valanora, where we have an exciting 3-3 deadlock between Kaboomlandia and Lisander. Both goalies have played well despite the high score, but the special teams are the story of the day, with two combined power-play goals in the game."
"Final frame is four minutes old, Phoenix regroup after a missed rush. Patrick Clooney skates backwards behind his own net, waiting for a Phoenix change. He throws the puck up the boards, Adrian Philips boosts it outside the blueline and knocks it over centre into the Lisander end. Tyler Martin chases again, Sora Necchi throws the puck around the boards back around to Huddleston. Zane Huddleston shoots it up the boards, but it's cut off by Darryl Rutherford, who snaps a quick shot wide and it stalls behind the net. Martin picks it up, wins a battle and puts the puck out for Philips, shoots, SCORES! Four and a half minutes in, the Phoenix are back on top!"
"Both teams making changes now, near the midway mark of the third period. Casey Lindsay circles back around his blueline, long pass here and now a breakaway for Mikael Samsonov off a line change! Samsonov races in, shoots, scores! It's a two-goal game for the Phoenix and their cheering section at the Reaper Coliseum comes alive!"
"Lisander is pressing now, as they are down two goals and are frantically trying to make a comeback. Ratti gets the puck in over the blueline with 3:28 left to go, dishes off to Allegro. James Allegro shoots behind the net, Bloxham knocks Nash off the puck and carries it out. Back to the line for Huddleston. Zane Huddleston crosses with Ratti. Quick pass from Huddleston, Ratti shoots, scores! Justin Ratti with a great shot, and Lisander is within one!"
"Lisander buzzing with thirty seconds left. Brandon Montagne has the puck, shot through traffic is blocked by Herndon. Bounced back to Montagne, quick pass to Lynton who shot, Mace just got an arm on that. Puck is behind the net now, Simoniti protecting the play, now he kicks the puck out for Horsfall who finds Diez at the point. Asier Dies shot, kicked out by Mace. Horsfall collects the rebound, shot, another save by Mace from the same spot where Allegro beat him earlier. Fifteen seconds left and finally the puck is flipped high down the ice by Patrick Clooney, and it looks like this is going to do it for the game. One last rush, Montagne goes back and fires the puck all the way up, but the pass can't be handled and this game is over! Lyle Mace gets his first win of the tournament and the Phoenix lead Group H heading into their day off!"
