Calgary: A Week in Review (November 16th to 22th, 2019)

Record this week: 3-1-0
Game 24:
Calgary Chinook 3 Victoria Ronin 5

Chinook lose to the Ronin 5-3

VICTORIA - For the 2nd straight games this season, the Flames allowed the other team to score three in the first period. They never led in the game and chased the entire time. Chinook head coach Eugene Yip saw several positives from the game but lamented that his team spent the duration chasing.

“I thought we had to come from behind, obviously,” said Yip. “We ended up chasing the game and couldn’t get there in the end.” “I feel like I gave them too much momentum to start the first there,” said Price. “The first one got sprayed a little bit in the face and kinda panicked for a second there and couldn’t find the puck and then panicked and put in my own net. The second one, couldn’t get the puck off the wall to Gio and by that time the guy had already sealed off that lane. I’ve just got to make a better play than that.”

Game 25:
Calgary Chinook 3 Portland Owls 2

Chinook score 3 in 1st, hang on for 3-2 win

PORTLAND - David Pastrnak had a goal and an assist to lead the Calgary Chinook to a 3-2 win over the Portland Owls on Monday night. Gaudreau also scored for Chinook. Giordano’s 7th goal of the season came with 21 seconds left in the first, capping a three-goal opening period for the Chinook.
''We were able to keep a lot of pucks in the offensive zone and generate a lot of attempts at the net and a lot of offense as well as a lot of good scoring opportunities,'' Chinook coach Eugene Yip said. ''It was a good start for us.'' ''Obviously, it's really nice to get that goal - especially that late in the period,'' Giordano said. ''You get three goals up. It's really nice, especially when it wasn't
the prettiest one.'' Giordano and Carlson lead the team in points with 27 points each in 25 games.

Game 26:
Parry Sound Orrsmen 2 Calgary Chinook 3

Chinook on two-game winning streak beat Orrsmen 3 to 2.

CALGARY - David Pastrnak deflected in a goal with 8:09 remaining, and the Calgary Chinook win over the Parry Sound Orrsmen 3-2 on Wednesday night. Carey Price made 19 saves for the Chinook.
Brett Connolly and Mike Matheson scored for Parry Sound. Jacob Markstrom stopped 30 shots, enduring a barrage early from the Chinook. Calgary held a 13-5 shot advantage after the first period.
"Just a bad start,” Orrsmen defenceman Brent Seabrook said. “I kind of felt like we were a little disjointed all night. Not a lot of communication out there. We kind of got run around a little bit. We were still in the game and they get the power-play goal and we don't. That's the difference a lot of the time.” Derek Ryan opened the scoring in the first, flipping a rebound backhand over
Markstrom. Pastrnak scored on the power play 11:51 into the third, but Parry Sound quickly
answered as Matheson scored three minutes later.

Game 27:
Long Island Express 3 Calgary Chinook 4

Chinook Snap Express’ 6-Game Win Streak, 4-3

CALGARY - Chinook scored 3 late goals in the 3rd period to come back from a 3-1 deficit and beat the Express 4-3. Barkov, de Haan and Pastrnak each had a goal and an assist, and the Long Island Express suddenly looked much different than they had while winning 6 games in a row. ''Frustrating. ,'' said Express center John Tavares. ''When we do things the right way, we're successful. And you see tonight when we don't do it and we got away from staples of our game, playing heavy and being hard on all pucks and getting pucks deep. When you get away from that, it's tough to win.'' Jimmy Vesey put Long Island up 3-1 early in the third period. Matthew Tkachuk, David Pastrnak and Aleksander Barkov scored three unanswered goals to make a comeback.

''They're a good team. I can see why they've won 6 in a row,'' Tkachuk said. ''We found a way to come out and get to them in the third and find a way to win the hockey game and get a big two points for our team.''
