You guys know the drill, let's tell everyone about our BeAGM stories!
I'm in the 2014-2015 playoffs against Boston(The team who eliminated us last year) as the Florida Panthers. We're up 3 games to 1 and ready to take the series in Florida.
A little backstory. In my first season, I traded away Jose Theodore and threw in rookie Jacob Markstrom as the starter as a 76 overall. We didn't make the playoffs that first year but Markstrom had a decent year and progressed to a 79 overall.
During the off-season, we signed Simon Gagne to a 7 year deal, and C Derek Stepan to give us a good passing center. Gagne instantly became the captain and led us to the playoffs, where we were promptly ousted by the Penguins.
Onto the off-season, we don't really make any high profile signings, as we are happy with where our team finished last year.
We make the playoffs, and we're outed by the Boston Bruins in a heartbreaking game 7 loss.
Moving on to the off-season, Goalie Jacob Markstrom has progressed to an 84 overall, Jonathan Huberdeau looks like he's ready to make the jump to elite status with an 89 overall; And boy, Elite did he become.
He finished the season leading the league in points with 84, and was 4 goals away from 40. Simon Gagne continued to impress, finishing with 32 goals. Also, despite Jacob Markstrom missing 6 weeks with a groin injury, he still won 31 GAMES! If he would have played the entire season healthy i'm convinced he would have won the Vezina.
Onto the playoffs, and we get our old rival Boston Bruins in the first round. It was an EPIC series, despite us winning 4-1, the two goalies for these teams were absolutely on point the entire series. 2 double OT games, 2 shutouts, and no goalie allowing more than 3 goals in any one game.
Onto game 5, it's 0-0 heading into overtime, neither team can get a goal in the first OT. Tukka Rask and Jacob Markstrom are turning EVERYTHING away, but then, with just seconds left in 2OT, Mario Kempe gets a rebound in front of the net and buries it 5 hole on Rask to give the Panthers the game and the series!
Seriously the most epic, fun game iv'e ever played in an NHL game. I had to turn the game off due to the excitement that I had before we move onto round 2 against Carolina, who we always seem to beat handily.
Here are Markstroms stats from that final game..
