All my life, I’ve never really got into Hockey, because it was never my thing. Over the past few years, I decided to get into it because what really interests me is the fact that these athletes can skate back and forth time after time. Tonight’s game was between the Anaheim Ducks who had a record of (9 – 16 – 6) and the Arizona Coyotes with (12 – 13- 5). The Coyotes knew they had something to prove going into this game
The game started off with the Coyotes bring it to the Ducks as they started the game off with a 1 – 0 lead that eventually turned into a 2 – 0 lead that had the Ducks in a real sticky place. They were playing pretty decent but just were not able to score. When looking at some of the player’s faces on the Ducks, you can tell they were getting frustrated and something had to change and fast. They were determined not to lose this game because it was something that they wanted, so they knew they had to fight for this game as a team.
In the second end, The Coyotes own no. 67 Lawson Crouse was going to score to try to make the game score 3 – 0 but The Ducks no. 7 Ben Hutton easily put a stop to it and was not having it. Hutton put his blood, sweat, and tears into blocking the Coyotes puck from going into the goal.
The Anaheim Ducks finally scored and their score came from their rookie player Trevor Zegras, which so happened to be his first Pro NHL goal. So the Ducks were trying to come back as the score went to 2 – 1. The Duck gets the puck back and there again was another score, which then ties the game up 2 – 2. The Coyotes were starting to struggle as the Ducks switches up their game plan and had their opponents confused. The Duck then started playing the game of Hockey as they were going at the Coyotes with everything they have and nothing was stopping them from trying their best to win tonight’s game. As the game was tied, overtime was approaching and both teams were about to give it there all like their lives depended on it. Both teams came out swinging and for everything they threw they wanted it to count, but everything that the Coyotes threw wasn’t enough to stop the Ducks. The Ducks Kevin Shattenkirk set up the Coyotes defense and pasted to his teammate Adam Henrique as he went in for the goal and won in overtime.
