Firebirds Round 3 Playoffs SO FAR: BIRDFIGHT…2!
The Need to Knows The Times for remaining games: Game 3: May 17 – 5:05pm PDT Game 4: May 20 – 7:05pm PDT Game 5: May 22- 7:05pm PDT The Place: All remaining games in this series will be conducted in Blue Federal Credit Union Arena in Loveland, Colorado Place to Watch: FloHockey What Happened in Games 1 and 2? Shutouts. Shutouts happened. The Eagles came to Coachella’s barn and dropped a 3-0 result on them to open the series… …Not taking that lying down, Coachella came right back in Game 2, and smashed Colorado flat in a 4-0 series tying statement. What to expect from the rest of this series and X-factors Honestly? The beginning of the real series. After two absolute blowouts where both teams took turns making the other look hapless or considerably unlucky, we now get to see how both teams respond. As for playoff performance, the Eagles haven’t been nearly as battle tested as the Firebirds, but that’s because the Eagles are damn good at just eliminating foes when it comes time to; going 2-for-2 against San Diego, and have only surrendered one game prior to Game 2 to the Henderson Silver Knights, and that one was in Double OT. The loss that the Firebirds handed them however suggests that they were not ready for that kind of game; particularly against a forecheck that seems to have adjusted in just such a way to break into their defensive structure and make them look silly. Colorado might be good, but they struggled on the regular season to keep up momentum against Coachella as the season wore on. They certainly didn’t expect to be facing the AHL playoffs’ highest goalscoring duo, and four of the top 7 point-getters in the playoffs to be playing in Coachella; which is just a testament to the work that the Firebirds are getting across their lineup, but specifically JR Avon and Oscar Fisker Mølgaard; who have become game-warping talents out there in the desert, and the work of Jagger Firkus and Jani Nyman, who have become playmakers and goal enablers for the rest of the Firebirds. Colorado meanwhile can boast depth throughout their lineup, and certainly some strong goaltending, but that depth if it can’t get going can look pretty easy to throw off their game. Naturally, this will be a major pain point for the Firebirds to exploit, because unlike the last two games and unlike the last two series; they’ll have to do it all on the road. While the Reign series did feature more games in Ontario than in Coachella, they were spaced out enough that the juice of returning home to their impressively raucous crowd allowed them to take some serious momentum. That will not be the case in this series, as all three of the upcoming games in this series, should they need all of them, will be in Loveland; come hell or high water. The Firebirds need to dig deep, make life easier for Nikke Kokko, and find a way to keep that blowout’s lessons in mind; they can be beaten, they can be flustered. They just gotta do that two more times before we’re in Western Conference Finals territory. LET’S GO FIREBIRDS.
