End of 2nd Period: At then end of the second, you'd have to think this one is probably over. Nz are up 5 - 1, and GB have barely had any good attacks against them tonight. S Laing isn't firing like usual, and without his goal scoring it seems GB is falling apart. GB 1, NZ 5 Goals: Astele (3, 1 PPG), Deane (1), Humble (1 PPG) Assists: Blunder (1), Darts (1)
Nuh, haven't touched it. Escath changed strategy though and I think it's played to your strengths a lot better. That plus I think you've just been lucky with good form at the right time.
Mid 3rd Period: The game has slowed right down. NZ are looking a little tired, and are coasting while GB are just demotivated knowing that this one is going to be impossible to claw back, they've just plain given up. S Laing with the puck, in some space... Has a shot.... Chung saves it! and it comes out quick to Humble, who's away! GB were so slow, and he's just gone away free, he's got Morris to beat now... Fakes once... Twice.. Shoots.... GOAL!!!!!!!! NZ get another, it's Humbles second of the night, and NZ are celebrating now, they know beyond any doubt they have the PC title to take home in around 10 minutes. GB 1, NZ 6 Goals: Astele (3, 1 PPG), Deane (1), Humble (1, 1 PPG) Assists: Blunder (1), Darts (1)
End of 3rd Period: That's it, the game is over. NZ are the PC champions for season 1, they'll be taking the trophy home. They're celebrating on the ice as GB walk off with their heads down. Who would have thought they'd be beaten so soundly tonight? They went through the league portion of the competition without a single loss. You can understand their disappointment, but NZ put in one of the best games you will ever see, with Astele playing like the biggest superstar the game has ever seen. congratulations to the New Zealand Ice Blacks on their title, and we look forward to seeing both teams back next season, where GB will be looking to even the scores, no doubt. GB 1, NZ 6 Goals: Astele (3, 1 PPG), Deane (1), Humble (1, 1 PPG) Assists: Blunder (1), Darts (1)

Can't believe how awesome Astele has been in some games during the PC, we didn't see much of it during the pre-season or IHS seasons...
