In order to avoid article fatigue I am going to break the game into 3 separate articles (makes sense, 3 periods in hockey). Here is instalment 1 (of 3).
Before we begin, I should have clarified that the coaches whose teams lead the East and West would be behind the benches for this game. This means the Rangers' David Quinn for the East and Ryan Craig of the Dallas Stars. Many people would ask, "Who?" but we will move on.
As mentioned in a previous article the starts for the West are Panarin, Malkin, Rantanen, Klefbom, Theodore and Oettinger while the East counters with Gallagher, Point, Marchand, Schmidt, Ekblad, and Vasilevsky. On with the play-by-play.
First Period
- Malkin wins the face-off against Point with the puck moving forward.
- Panarin jumps on the face off win and quick head mans to Rantanen who slips past Schmidt.
- Rantanen first am shot blocker side and beats Vasilevski. GOAL!!!! at 19:55 of the first period. 1-0 West.
- Malkin wins a faceoff back to Theodore who rips a pass to Panarin splitting the D and firing a shot low glove to beat Vasilevsky low. GOAL!!! at 19:50 of the first. 2-0 West.
- Coach Quinn of the East whips a gatorade bottle into row 20 of the stands.
- Malkin wins the face off against Stamkos (as Point is catching an earful.
- Panarin goes to dump the puck in but it ricochets off iof Mcavoy to Malkin streaking down the middle. He pulls a Forsberg to beat Vasilevsky. GOAL!!!! at 19:45 of the first. 3-0 West.
- Coach Quinn calls a time out. On his way to the bench Vasilevsky shows his frustration and two hands Mcavoy in the back of the legs.
- Play resumes. Thank to jeebus the Chicago line has left the ice. Eichel wins the face off against his draft mate McDavid.
- Burakovsky dumps the puck in.
- Josi recovers for the West but Coleman catches him with his head down and blows him up like some TNT.
- Eichel recovers the puck and fines OEL streaking in from the point who fires a quick snapper over the glove of Oettenger. GOAL!!! at 17:00 of the first. 3-1 West.
- After a little more play and some time passes the East gets a power play when Gourde and Boeser cycle the puck for a 4 minute shift and draw a holding penalty from Weegar.
- Alex Ovechkin steps onto the ice as an apparent PP specialist. He lines up at the face-off dot on the left circle even though the draw is on the right side. No one sees what is coming.
- Point wins the draw to Toews who immediately slings it to the left face off dot where Ovi hammers a one T clapper top cheddar. GOAL!!! at 13:00 of the first. 3-2 West.
- Some more hockey is played with some back and forth and good efforts.
- Klefbom recovers a dump in and rings it around the boards to Nazem Kadri who gets absolutely destroyed by a pinching Ekblad. The crowd goes wild!
- For reasons known only to himself Andrei Svechnikov steps up and fights Ekblad. Svechnikov gets the ever living crap beaten out of him.
- The each get 5 for fighting and Svech gets the instigator and a lot of stitches and smelling salts.
- On the power play Petterson, Draisaitl, and Kucherov execute a pretty tic-tac-toe with another dipsy doodle before Kuch taps in a nice back door pass from Petterson. GOAL!!! at 4:59 of the 1st. TIE GAME! 3-3
- Play resumes. Marchand licks a guy and Gallagher goes full Gallagher making the West go crazy. Horvat suckers Gallagher and Patrnak suckers Marchand (irony).
- On the ensuing power play Kucherov, Stamkos, and Point don't get much done. 2nd unit comes out.
- Marchand takes a pass on the wing and throws an ally-oop style pass right at the goal. Gallagher leaps in the air and inadvertently knees Oettinger right in the crotch. The puck rolls slowly into the open net. GOAL!!!! at 2:06 of the first. EAST come storming back 4-3 lead!!!
- The Blackhawks trio gets back on the ice. They some cool stuff and score 2 more GOALS!!!! with the second at 0:45 of the first. 5-4 for the West!!!!
- In the final 15 seconds of the period the Chicago line scores 3 more GOALS!!!! (Just kidding). End of period.
After one period the score rests at 5-4 for the West. Jeremey Swayman and Mike Smith have officially shit their pants awaiting their turn in the second.
