Season 2016-17 Week 29: Play-Off Week 1 – Sheffield, Telford, Guildford

Peterborough Phantoms 12 Sheffield Steeldogs 0
Telford Tigers 7 Peterborough Phantoms 0
Peterborough Phantoms 1 Guildford Flames 3

A week is a long time in politics, and as it transpires it is in hockey, as the Phantoms have seen the memories of their comprehensive victory in their first play-off game against the Sheffield Steeldogs fade rapidly in their rear view mirror with successive defeats to the Telford Tigers and the Guildford Flames.

Despite the margin of victory against the Steeldogs it was difficult to benchmark the quality of the performance; the old adage about teams having to beat the teams in front of team is true, but the Steeldogs were uncharacteristically poor, and Greg Wood’s men couldn’t get a foothold in a game that got away from them quickly as the Phantoms rattled in goal after goal.

Stepanek and Pliskauskas filled their boots with four goals each, ably assisted by Levers, Norton and Darge in a game that felt completely different to so many games between the Phantoms and the Steeldogs in recent years, including the play-off quarter final last year.

The Phantoms returned home on Sunday after a mauling of their own by the Tigers in Shropshire on Saturday evening.  The game-sheet will show that the Phantoms shut out the Tigers in two periods, but an aberration of a middle period saw Telford strike seven times in 16 minutes, including four goals in eight minutes, to kill the game as a contest.

Guildford were top of the play-off pile going into Sunday’s game against the Phantoms with two successive wins, and the Phantoms knew that realistically they would need something out of the game if they were to be in with a chance of qualifying for the finals weekend in Coventry.

At the risk if being accused of saying ‘I told you so’, I felt there was a marked difference between the Phantoms and the Flames in warm up – the Flames looked confident, were striking the puck at goal confidently at Mike Will and his back-up Skinns, and were playing with smiles on their faces in anticipation of the game ahead, whilst the Phantoms looked much quieter, possibly due to the pressure building from the cup-final defeat against Milton Keynes and the loss in Telford.

As it transpired, the Phantoms held the Flames in a scoreless first period, with the balance of play being held by Guildford who were ahead on points at the first intermission.

Veteran defenceman Danny Meyers got the scoring underway with a powerplay goal on 25 10, floating the puck over Auzins’ shoulder as James Archer sat a tripping penalty, and Hemmings finished a fine move from low in the right face-off circle less than two minutes later to give Guildford a two goal lead.

The Phantoms huffed and puffed but created little in response until late in the second period when Tom Norton thought he’d bundled the puck home until referee Szucs washed out a goal that he had initially given, but at the end of a period that saw the Phantoms continually turn the puck over to the Flames and invite pressure upon themselves, they were fortunate to just be trailing by the two goals.

With the Phantoms looking unlikely to get back into the game Wehebe Darge reduced the arrears with a little over five minutes of the game remaining, sweeping the puck past Will after great work from James Archer.

With time left and their tails up maybe there was a chance that the Phantoms would get something out of the game and keep their play-off push on track?

Unfortunately for the Phantoms this wouldn’t be the case.  Darge scored on 54 48, and just 31 second later McKinney put the puck in the net for the Flames once more after linking well with Satek as the Phantoms committed men forwards.

Takeaways

1. Sad to say, but the Phantoms were second best against the Flames, and yet they might have snatched something out of the game. Defensively they coped with the pace of Satek better than they had last week (or Holli from MK the week before), but at the end of spells of extended pressure from the Flames the Phantoms were just grateful to clear their zone, which usually meant the puck was picked up by their opponents on their own blue line, enabling them to exert pressure once more.  Inevitably, this pressure led to the Phantoms misplacing passes and turning the puck over too frequently, which again mean they were spending long passages of play on the back foot.

2. Going forward the Phantoms created little in 50 odd minutes; Pliskauskas had the best two chances for the Phantoms in the first period but Mike Will dealt with these capably, and it is hard to remember too many clear cut opportunities for the Phantoms until Darge scored.

3. From the gantry the Phantoms’ best performers were Archer, Griffiths, Darge and Auzins. Auzins made a couple of saves in the second period that at least at the time gave some hope to the Phantoms’ fans, and the work rate of the other three saw them stand out.

4. In recent weeks we have seen flashes from Phantoms’ forwards, but there was little from the top players against Guildford to suggest that they would be able to unlock the Flames’ defence. In a game of small margins the Phantoms and the Flames shared 40 shots on goal evenly, but it is telling that the Phantoms only had 6 shots on goal in the last period after fourteen in the first two frames, and after having just 10 shots in goal through forty minutes in Telford on Saturday.  It may be too easy an observation to make, but no matter how much the Phantoms throw the kitchen sink at sides in the final period (and against Guildford it was very much a case of too little, too late) it is essential to get greater offensive momentum much earlier in these big games, and especially when defending what has been a good home record.

5. There may still be a way to Coventry for the Phantoms of they can beat the Steeldogs on Wednesday and if Guildford beat Telford. This would set up a thriller against the Tigers here in Peterborough on Saturday and require the Phantoms to win their final game in Guildford on Sunday.  There’ll be observers who have the maths off-pat and will be able to tell you which permutations will allow the Phantoms to get through, but I think it’s safe to say that a win for the Tigers v Guildford on Wednesday will just about eliminate the Phantoms.  A win in Sheffield for the Phantoms and a Flames victory over Telford, however, might set up a thrilling weekend with everything to play for.

See you next week.

Season 2016-17 Week 28: Guildford Flames

Peterborough Phantoms 7 Guildford Flames 6

Dead-eye Greg with a third period leveller from the blue line!

After the cup-final defeat to Milton Keynes this felt like a game that the players didn’t want to play and the fans didn’t really want to watch, and yet getting back on the horse the night after a gut wrenching defeat might have just been what the doctor had ordered.

Make no bones about it, the Phantoms’ players were disconsolate after losing a second consecutive cup final, and anyone who suggests otherwise is misguided.  And who should be in town?  Why none other than the Guildford Flames, who had won the three games against the Phantoms in Surrey, whilst the Phantoms had accumulated eleven goals (with one against) in two games here in Peterborough, notching 5-0 and 6-1 victories early in the season.

Surely the game was going to go to the Phantoms, then, and give the Peterborough side a crack at third place in the league?

Well almost, but not quite.

In a scrappy encounter that will have given the coaches more to think about than they might have anticipated the Phantoms won by the odd goal in thirteen, having fallen behind to an early Satek short-handed goal, taken a 3-1 lead by the first intermission through Norton, Pliskauskas and James Ferrara (the prettiest of the bunch, fired high into Mike Will’s net, above his outstretched glove)

The second period saw the two teams share four goals as Satek, Pliskauskas, Ferrara (Phantoms’ MoM) and Santavuori all found the goal to give us a 5-3 scoreline after forty minutes, before what turned out to be a crazy final stanza that saw a further five goals.

The Flames pressed hard at the start of the final period; their trade mark crisp passing and thoughtful build-up exposed the Phantoms time and again.  Santavuori had scored the final goal of the middle frame, and in three and a half minutes from 48 09 the visitors scored another three unanswered goals, through Sihvonen, Satek (for the hat-trick) and Maslonka, though the Guildford bench and most of the crowd had thought that Maslonka’s goal was actually a lobbed shot from Danny Meyers, making his 1000^th pro-hockey appearance.

The Phantoms had managed to virtually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but when the next goal came, it came from the most unlikely of sources, as popular D man Greg Pick lashed one in from the point to tie things up at six, much to the appreciation of the crowd.

With six minutes left the Phantoms pushed for a winner, and were rewarded when Ales Padelek’s pin-point shot found the top right hand corner of Will’s net on 57 39 as Jens Eriksson sat out what looked a fairly soft interference call, to conclude the goal scoring in what had been a roller-coaster of a game.

Takeaways

1. Sometimes it’s not how you play, it’s whether you win. The Phantoms needed a result after the defeat against the Lightning and though it wasn’t pretty the victory was the only thing that was important with play-off games, and as it transpires play-off games against the Flames to come.

2. The game should’ve been dead and buried after forty minutes with the Phantoms 5-3 up, but as we’ve seen this year the Phantoms have the potential to concede in quick fire fashion. Maybe with confidence knocked and minds not fully on this game it was always going to be a scrappy affair, but as we’ve seen against the Steeldogs and Bees leads can quickly turn into games where you are chasing a score that you hadn’t anticipate, and in those situations you either need plan A to work, or plan B, or a little slice of luck.  The first and third of those saw the Phantoms home in this one.

3. As in previous games here in Peterborough, Michal Satek looks like the real thing – scorer of three goals and deserved winner of the MoM beers, Satek showed a quick turn of pace and fine skill. The Phantoms can be susceptible to the fast breakaway and need to guard against being outnumbered against players such as Satek, and Holli from the Lightning.

Danny Meyers was the Flames’ go to guy on the powerplay and Jens Eriksson was the other Guildford player that stood out.

4. Two PP goals will have given the Phantoms a lift after their shut-out last night, but they still need more pucks on goal and to be following rebounds up.

5. The Phantoms’ play-off group is determined; despite a shot at third in the league they finished fourth and will play the Tigers, Flames and ‘Dogs. Phantoms are going to need points against Guildford and Sheffield to progress, and would be hopeful of something at home versus Telford.

It’s going to be a tough one, but I’d prefer this group in qualification than the one with MK, Basingstoke, Swindon and Hull.  I’ll go for MK and Basingstoke from the latter group, and crossed fingers and everything else for the Phantoms and then the Tigers from the other.  But what do I know?  I still thought the Phantoms would win the cup at two down in the last period …

See you next week.

Season 2016-17 Week 28: Milton Keynes Lightning (EPIHL Cup Final Second Leg)

Milton Keynes Lightning 4 Peterborough Phantoms 0 (PSO win for the Lightning)

Adam Carr scores the winner

First of all – congratulations to Milton Keynes for their cup final win in their final season in the EPL.  The Lightning were certainly the more clinical of the two sides in this second leg, and whilst the Phantoms knew they had a lifeline should MK win in regulation, Lightning Captain Adam Carr’s penalty shot beat Janis Auzins to win the trophy.

Though the Phantoms had the better of the first leg en route to their 2-1 victory in Peterborough last weekend (see here https://blueliner66.wordpress.com/2017/03/12/season-2016-17-week-27-milton-keynes-lightning-epihl-cup-final-first-leg/ ), on home ice and backed by a big crowd the Lightning contained the Phantoms and struck first through Man of the Match Antti Holli, with the first of two break away goals on 12 34 where the Finnish sniper showed great speed and a deft touch.

The Phantoms grew into the game in the second period and put The Lightning zone under pressure without testing Odrobny too many times, but when presented with a another opportunity on 27 34 Holli made no mistake, firing through Auzins’ five-hole to give the Lightning a two goal lead after two periods.

After forty minutes Phantoms’ fans had an eye on overtime, yet in the final period they enjoyed their best spell of the game.  Carlon and Bakrlik both took penalties which presented the Phantoms with powerplay opportunities to get back in the game, and I for one genuinely thought that with an early goal the Phantoms could still tie the game in regulation.

With significant momentum behind them the Phantoms outshot the Lightning 16-5 in the last period, but the killer blow in regulation was dealt by Frankie Bakrlik who finished the game as a contest with nine minutes remaining, firing into what looked like the roof of the Phantoms’ net from close quarters, leaving the Phantoms with too much to do in the final minutes.

With each team taking two points from a home win we saw a thrilling extra period where tired legs and lots of open ice presented chances for both teams, with the Lightning coming closest, the puck coming back off the Phantoms’ cross bar and to safety.

With neither side able to score in overtime a tense penalty shoot-out went through 5 rounds until we saw Carr grab the winner after Stepanek, Pliskauskas, Padelek, Darge and Bebris had seen their shots saved (though Phantoms though they’d scored through Pliskauskas, only to see referee Matthews’ outstretched arms indicating ‘no-goal’), and Emersic, Holli, Bakrlik and Luposki had been foiled by Auzins.

Takeaways

1. This was such a disappointing end to the cup run; to lose a second consecutive cup final is heart-breaking, and a penalty shoot-out is a pretty tough way to lose a final. Of course, the Phantoms had prevailed in a penalty shoot-out in the semi-final in Telford, and well, if you live sword, there’s the chance you might be beaten by it too.  A moment of skill from Carr settled the contest and getting anything through either of these netminders in a shoot-out was always going to be critical.

2. I’m not sure the Phantoms could’ve given an awful lot more than they did on the evening; it is easy to say that they lacked that cutting edge, but the Lightning deserve credit for the way they played, forechecking aggressively and certainly through the first half an hour restricting the Phantoms, who had relatively few clear cut opportunities. In the final period the balance of play was certainly with the visitors, but the crucial first goal remained elusive.

3. As in many games this year the Phantoms’ penalty kill was strong, though despite having powerplay opportunities which generated more threat as the game went on, they just couldn’t catch a break in front of the MK defence.

4. For the Phantoms Darge’s energy and tenacity stood out, Pliskauskas was influential and Levers, Archer and Norton were also big players. The White-Weldon-Moore line did well when called upon, and Bebris was a deserving Man-of-the-Match.

5. Both netminders were terrific, with Odrobny sealing the deal in keeping out all five of the Phantoms’ penalty shots. One of this MK roster for the Elite, I’m sure.

6. Other commentators will have their say on the end of the game that saw Will Weldon and MK coach Pete Russell come into contact after the final buzzer, and Phantoms’ fans unhappy with Russell’s behaviour towards them. Emotions were riding high but both teams need to ensure that they conduct themselves in the right way.

Season 2016-17 Week 27: Milton Keynes Lightning (EPIHL Cup Final First Leg)

Peterborough Phantoms 2 Milton Keynes Lightning 1

Game winner, Wehebe Darge

Despite conceding the first goal of the evening to the visitors in an opening period that saw the Lightning deservedly ahead by the first intermission, the Peterborough Phantoms showed great resilience to turn the tie on its head and earn a first leg lead after 60 minutes.

These are the games the players want to play in and certainly from a supporter’s perspective the games we want to watch, with the old barn full to the rafters and a palpable sense of anticipation as the two teams took to the ice.

The Lightning have held the upper hand against the Phantoms in recent years – they took all six league games last year, have had three wins in Peterborough on the way to taking the series 4-2 this year, and you have to go back to the last game of the 2014-15 season to find the last time a Phantoms team won in their own barn against their old rivals (22^nd March 2015, 4-1 to the Phantoms), so no small wonder that the Lightning came into Peterborough confident of getting a result.

The first period saw the Phantoms enjoy plenty of possession and while they have been guilty of starting games slowly recently, the home side were very much in the game in the early minutes without troubling Odrobny to any great extent, but found themselves behind as first Tom Norton (slashing on 7 25) and Will Weldon (hooking on 8 35) took penalties to give the Lightning a 5-on-3 advantage which they converted through Jordan Cownie just before the first penalty had expired.

The stats say that the Phantoms shaded the shots on goal in the first period, though the truth of the matter is that the MK net was rarely threatened, and when it was Odrobny and the Lightning’s defensive corps dealt with what the Phantoms served up.

Scott Robson took a slashing call with 21 seconds of the first frame remaining, which meant that the Phantoms were killing a penalty at the start of the second period, but the Lightning couldn’t find a way through and the Phantoms influence on the game increased with the balance of play much more in the Lightning’s zone than it had been in the first period.

Crucially for the Phantoms Leigh Jamieson received a high sticking penalty with less than four minutes of the second period to play, and with 39 seconds of the powerplay in the book James Archer passed to Petr Stepanek who fired a tracer low into Odrobny’s goal to tie things up at one with less than three minutes of the period to go.

If the first period belonged to the Lightning and the Phantoms shaded the second, it was clear that the Phantoms had the wind in their sails in the last stanza as they sought the third goal of the evening.

The Phantoms outshot the Lightning 19-5 in the last period, with Odrobny keeping them at bay until the Milan Baranyk received a boarding call on 51 21 and 1 28 later Wehebe Darge settled the game, scambling the puck into the goal after Marc Levers had worked the puck loose amid a crowd scene in front of Odrobny’s goal.

As the Lightning pressed in the final minutes James Griffin took a two minute minor for holding which took restricted their forwarded momentum, and despite the fact that Pete Russell pulled Odrobny with 70 ticks on the clock in favour of the extra skater, it would be the Phantoms who would come closest to scoring again.

Takeaways

1. The Phantoms started better than they have done recently and despite losing the first goal showed great resilience to turn the game round. They dominated the latter stages and took the game to their opponents knowing just how important a home win would be.

2. The fact that the Phantoms’ PP has been one of the least efficient in the league this year is well recorded, so the fact that the Phantoms scored twice whilst they had numerical superiority will be particularly satisfying. Darge’s game winning goal came at the end of a frenetic play in front of the MK goal, but Stepanek’s strike was a real rocket that flew past Odrobny to tie the game.  Rather than looking for the perfect PP strike the Phantoms concentrated on getting pucks on goal which clearly reaped rewards.

3. Auzins was the Phantoms’ Man of the Match but this was a terrific team performance. Owen Griffiths skated himself to a standstill whilst James Archer (the Media Team’s nomination for MoM) was first to every puck played a particularly physical game.  A special mention too, for Weldon and Levers, terrific on the penalty kill, and to the defensive core who were excellent to a man.

4. Great stuff from both sets of supporters in creating a special atmosphere – the roof nearly came off the rink at the final buzzer in a game that was played in the right way. I’m sure that other teams will acknowledge their supporters but the good sportsmanship of both MK and Phantoms’ fans only added to the occasion.

As for MK?

Pete Russell’s men started well but couldn’t get the all-important second goal, with Hook, Baranyk, Holli et al less potent than they had been in early February when the Lightning prevailed by four goals to one.  I suspect that Michael Farn’s absence was keenly felt by the Lightning, whose standout players (other than the imperious Odrobny) included Lewis Christie, Jordan Cownie and Adam Carr.

The Lightning had chances (most notably three 2-on-1 opportunities in the second period when Bakrlik and Carlon linked well but couldn’t find the net) but the bottom line is that the Phantoms grew in confidence the longer the game went on, and the Lightning took too many penalties at key times.

The tie is by no means over and though the Phantoms have drawn first blood there is still plenty to play for in Milton Keynes next Saturday.  The format of the competition means that anything other than a win in regulation for MK will mean the Phantoms will win the cup, and as with the semi-final, even a win in regulation for MK will still leave the Phantoms with a lifeline.

Season 2016-17 Week 26: Hull Pirates

Hull Pirates 1 Peterborough Phantoms 4

Auzins snuffs out another chance, this time from Josh Gent

After a rough couple of weeks the Phantoms took care of business on Humberside, picking up two points against a Hull side that have held the upper hand in these fixtures over the past two years.

For the first time in a while the Phantoms were almost at full strength; Darius Pliskauskas was missing but Wehebe Darge, missing last week against Basingstoke, returned, as the Phantoms looked to get some momentum going into the cup final first leg next week.

Though the game ultimately went the way of the Phantoms it was the Pirates who started the brighter, exerting pressure on Janis Auzins’ goal almost from the first puck drop and taking an early lead through the prolific Themar with barely a minute on the clock.  The Hull forward lashed a tracer past Auzins from the left hand hash marks and in the subsequent two minutes the Pirates could, and perhaps should’ve extended their lead by at least one as Lee Bonner found himself free in the slot, only to be denied by Auzins and Ryan Watt went close.

This wouldn’t have been the start that the Phantoms would’ve wanted following that low key defeat against the Bison last week, but Coach Koulikov would’ve been pleased with the response from his team.

After absorbing the early pressure and just trailing by one the Phantoms grew into the game and drew level with 5 34 in the book as birthday boy Ales Padelek tipped a drive from Scott Robson, much to the delight of the travelling fans.

As the Phantoms settled into the game and tried to build on their growing superiority Hull tempers started to fray, and though the Pirates’ fans expressed displeasure at the officials, a number of calls on the home side seemed fairly straight forward.  Nathan Salem and Luke Boothroyd picked up cross-checking penalties in quick succession on 11 44 and 12 27 respectively, and moments later on 12 58 the Phantoms capitalised on the 5-on-3 penalty and turned the game completely on its head.  Tom Norton found the net from the blueline with Lakosil in the Pirates’ net screened by both defencemen and forwards.

The frustration in the Hull ranks was about to boil over; as Boothroyd’s penalty expired Haywood picked up another, also for cross checking. Weldon and Watt had previously clashed at a face-off which led to the Hull player cross checking the Phantoms’ forward to the head as he skated towards the bench as the officials looked as though they might lose control of the game.  From my vantage point it looked like the blow to Weldon caught him unawares; this wasn’t two players agreeing to drop the gloves and fight, with the blow to Weldon’s head leaving him prostrate on the ice and the game penalty for Watt deserved.

The middle period saw the Phantoms play some impressive hockey as they sensed the opportunity to put the game beyond Hull’s reach.  Bebris had a couple of chances saved and good work from the White-Griffiths-Moore line kept the pressure on the hosts.  When the next goal came, it came from a surprising source, as Ben Russell lashed home from left point to increase the Phantoms’ lead just five minutes into the period.

With just five minutes of the middle frame remaining some sublime passing between Bebris and Padelek almost saw the Phantoms score once more, only to see Padelek’s shot ricochet off the post, but the Phantoms wouldn’t be denied when Petr Stepanek finished a tic-tac-toe move with Levers and Bebris just nine seconds before the second intermission.

Despite the fact that there were chanced for both teams in the final stanza there would be no further scoring, largely due to some excellent goal tending by Auzins and Lakosil.  As time wound down on the clock penalties were traded but in truth the Phantoms never looked like relinquishing their hold on a game that was effectively finished as a contest in the second period.

Takeaways

1. The Phantoms have found Hull a tough place to win in since the Pirates joined the league last year (one win in five previous visits), and taking the two points after falling behind so early shows an impressive resilience from the lads.  With more clinical finishing the Pirates might’ve taken the game away from the Phantoms in the first few minutes, who got out of the blocks slowly and who must be cautioned about making such a slow start.

2. Despite the fact the Padelek and Stepanek both scored, and Wehebe Darge’s industry and creativity lifted the Phantoms, it was the Brits who stood out. Impressive displays from the Phantoms’ D, James Ferrara, and the fourth line were all at the heart of this victory.

3. Janis Auzins was Janis Auzins. Top quality netminding from the EPL’s number 1.

4. Three of the Phantoms’ goals came from shots from the blueline from defencemen – Robson, Norton and Russell, and what was pleasing to see was for each of the goals the Phantoms had men in front of net taking Lakosil’s eyes away from the play.

5. Though the Phantoms scored a PP goal they had plenty of time with a numerical superiority in the second period, but despite pressure and possession struggled to get clear cut opportunities.

6. The Phantoms often play a game where they look to contain their opponents, soaking up pressure and attacking with speed. It was particularly pleasing to see the Phantoms hold a high line and forecheck aggressively in this fixture, putting pressure on the Pirates’ defence and forcing turnovers in their zone.

As for the Pirates?

The home side were out of the blocks smartly and ahead through Themar before many fans had taken the seats, and had early chances been taken I suspect the game would’ve been over for the Phantoms.  Former Phantom Sam Towner was selected as man of the match, though Themar, Cizas, and Lakosil in particular stood out.

Ill-discipline cost the Pirates in the second period, and I certainly wouldn’t want to see a player hit in the way that Watt his Weldon in the second period.  Despite the chances created by the Pirates, once the Phantoms had a hold on the game, didn’t look like they would relinquish it.
