Welcome to SPSN’S GOTN,
Tonight’s GOTN features two teams moving in two different directions. It’s the Ducks of Anaheim Vs the Colorado Avalanche.
Anaheim Ducks-
OFFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
REAPER2313 :19gp 23g 26a 49pts
KIDMON3Y :19gp 18g 25a 43pts
The Ducks have been one of the teams to beat this season, not only do they have firepower upfront, they have an offensive-defensive core to back the already deadly scoring core of the Ducks. Kidmon3y and Reaper have been playing together for the majority of there SPNHL careers, and have built a chemistry that can only be achieved with as much playing time as these two have. Cookie man also joins the fold with 33pts to his name, he has been the catalyst that runs this line and with newly acquired Jordyman this Duck offense looks like a wrecking ball in the west.
 
DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
DOUGCBJ :14gp 4g 10a 14pts +10
M1keal :11 2g 6a 8pts +22
When you think Defense, 2 time Norris trophy winner DOUGCBJ comes to mind. He’s currently sitting at a +10 with 14 pts in as many games Doug is right on pace picking up where he left off…winning. He’s not alone, two way defensemen M1keal is his right-hand man, these two together create quite the dynamic duo when facing the opposition’s offense.
 
BETWEEN THE PIPES:
VeZzZy I30I : 857sv% 2.04gaa 14W
It’s in his name, Vezzzy is arguably the best goaltender in the SPNHL, boasting 14 wins with a sold 857 sv% with a 2.06gaa with a league leading 3 shutouts. Vezzzy has been a wall for the Ducks this season having them win some games they had no business winning. He is in the running for the Vezina Trophy already this season and only looks to get better. This master of the crease has been compared to Carey Price and childhood hero Martin Brodeur. The Avalanche are going to have to bring the heat to beat my Vezzzy tonight.
 
Colorado Avalanche:
OFFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
IvanThygreat :15gp 16g 14a 30pts
Deathclown27 :16gp 11g 19a 30pts
Colorado’s offense comes into tonight’s game trying to get this team back on track after two back to back loses. Ivan and Death are more than capable of pulling the job off, these two have been consistent scorers during this season with no intentions of stopping now. Etthan has also been part of the scoring trend in Colorado, hitting 24pts last game and looking to help fuel the offense tonight against the Ducks.
 
DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWN:
MIKETHENEF : 19gp 1g 7a 8pts
EGGMAN : 13gp 1g 6a 7pts
Colorado’s Defense has been struggling somewhat in the past string of games sitting at -17. They do show promise though and will have to redeem tonight after losing 2 in a row. Eggman is a longtime vet and will surely find his way back while bringing his defensive core along with him for the ride.
 
BETWEEN THE PIPES:
JHONNY_PHONNY  : 12gp 818sv% 2.58gaa
Jhonny has been holding the fort in the Mile High city, boasting an 818 sv% with a decent 2.58gaa. Jhonny is also noted as a top-tier goaltender in the league and looks to hold this ailing Avalanche team back on its feet. Jhonny has a solid VH and is the Ducks best penalty killer. Look for Jhonny to put pressure on Anaheim by leaving them nothing to shoot at.
 
WORDS OF WISDOM:
Though these teams are heading in two different directions, directions were made to be broken. Tonight could be the turning point or the downfall for both teams. Though the Ducks are looking great on paper, never underestimate an avalanche.
Be sure to see it all tonight at on SPSN.
