00:00Good switch play coming through the middle, good exit, now Lee's attack on the offense
00:14as they go one, one, one, big save, double save, and they put the one away, Hedley got
00:19the first one, he doesn't get a second one, and Braden just follows that play up and capitalizes
00:24on that break, but we see this play develop as they come through the middle, this is what
00:28leads do, they get you on the counter attack if you're not ready, if you watch Braden right
00:33here as he comes through the middle of the ice, how you put these teams, give them opportunities
00:38beyond five on five, you're only asking for trouble, one on one, Haywood's alone on Hedley,
00:44goes one and he buries the play, we talked right at the start of the game, what does
00:49Matt Haywood bring to the team right now, great face-offs, key player, he's a spine
00:54of the team, but watch how this play develops, he knows the defenseman's got no support,
00:59he just chips in and goes right by them, Venus is looking up, he's got a bit of space, last
01:04two minutes in the period, Venus up with the blue line, drives it wide, he gets taken out
01:09by Baldwin, still into the slot, early chance, Gulliver's closed down, goes in behind, Gospel
01:15looks like it was a play from Venus in behind the net, that play, you catch a goaltender
01:20off his post, looks like he played there, Bissonnette keeps it wide, still on the puck,
01:24it's back under the stick, nice pitch from Bissonnette to keep everything moving forward,
01:28they go wide onto the far side, Haywood going to the net, nobody picks up Bissonnette, he brings
01:33that puck down, that's a great example of what Bissonnette does, he knows he doesn't need to
01:39get into the space where Haywood's going, so what he does, he just slows right down, you see the
01:44play, he's got the puck there, watch the play develop, he knows everybody's going hard to the
01:48net, he knows he doesn't need to jump in, Murray Barron's going to take the penalty shot, down
01:54into Headley, Barron goes down, one on one on Headley, big goaltender, takes up a lot of space,
02:04buries the puck into the corner, great capitalize from Barron, Barron gets that goal but it started
02:11and finished by Haywood on that play, handles the puck extremely well, looking for field,
02:17then the inside shoulder of the defense, use that size, use that strength he has,
02:21two on one as he got that opportunity, under the rebound, big play, Headley makes it,
02:30Haywood has that follow-up rebound again but has to break down at the red line,
02:34where Leeds capitalize on these two-on-one situations, you can see right now, the play
02:40breaks down, bad pinch right there and now you're cooked, now it's a two-on-one thrill,
02:45Leeds have been outstanding, closing it down, back out to the point with Susters,
02:55comes in behind in that early chance here, 29 seconds on the clock, it's back into Wallace,
03:00Wallace drives it wide, looking for, gets it through, tries to get a possible short side
03:04and he manages to slip through and Wallace has that play on the par, but you get it to the net,
03:09good things are going to happen, you can see right now, he just gets it through, gains the
03:13blue line, top of the circle, gets it through onto the net, nothing really spectacular here,
03:18just get it through to the net, gets it through and sneaks through, an attack on the two-on-one,
03:24just a bit too far ahead for Rutgers to get on the end of that puck, they still come wide,
03:29Neely's going to make a line change over to Barron, Barron switches the play, onto this far
03:34side, they got options with Bissonnette coming in and good chances, they bury that puck,
03:38not a lot on the attacking play, but you can see that play develop and again it comes back to the
03:45same thing, Bissonnette's earlier in his hole, doing the exact same thing, so Milton Keynes again on the PK,
03:51back out to Haywood, Haywood switches the pack across, back into Haywood, Haywood down low to
04:00Bissonnette, into that slot, one timer, get the video camera out, copy down that power play,
04:06that's how you work it around the outside and it's that corner play for Bissonnette, he knows
04:11exactly where it's going to end up on the play, Barron's the player right now, the puck is going
04:16to go to him and everybody in the lead tonight's going to Rutgers, Rutgers are going to jump up
04:20into the play, they've got options on the far side for Wallace, back for Wallace looking for a deflection
04:25coming through the crease, back in the sisters, he has that loose puck, Martelli, then he goes
04:30from there, just a shot out of nothing, two goals for Milton Keynes tonight, just shooting from
04:35distance, just to try to create a bit of offense, the play comes wide onto that far side, you see
04:41that play develop as it comes through, right now there's no real danger, the puck comes over to
04:45Leeds Knights 7, Milton Keynes 3, so again, good entertaining game between these two teams,
04:51they had their chances on the power play, but again Leeds Knights come away, on home ice,
04:56Leeds Knights 7, Milton Keynes.
