\nperiod of play. However red-lighters by Ben Doran<\/strong> and a second by Dylan<\/strong> in period two and three, give the
\nMusketeers a win and the series lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nhoping to watch their Musketeers clinch the championship. The series turns defensive again with both goaltenders playing
\nat the top of their game. Neither team can find the back of the net until the third period when Charlie Schone<\/strong> scores the
\ngame\u2019s first goal. However, the Caps don’t just go away-answer back four minutes later, sending the game to overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n1-Musketeers vs. Storm-6<\/span><\/span>

\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The opening game finds the Musketeers playing catch-up hockey forty minutes into the game; having surrendered single
\ngoals in the first and second periods. An early third period tally by Ryan Conmy<\/strong> makes it a one score and a potential
\nmomentum shift. However, TC quickly counters twenty-five second later – and it’s all Storm from there. They tack on
\nthree additional red-lighters before the final buzzer sounds giving them a convincing game one win.<\/span>
\n
\n4-Musketeers vs. Storm-5<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/strong>Game 2
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>The pressue is squarely on the Musketeers in this do-or-die situation. \u00a0Tri-City would strike first, but consecutive goals
\nby Kaden Shahan<\/strong> and Ben Poitras <\/strong>give the Musketeers a short-lived lead when TC ties the gameminutes later. The
\nsecond period is all TC, outshooting the Musketeers and grabbing a pair of goals to seeminly start to put the game out
\nof reach. However, a late goal by Ben Doran<\/strong> lifts the Musketeers spirits headed into the final period. Mid-period\u00a0Grant
\nSlukynsky<\/strong> would then tie the game but TC would again quickly counter with the eventual game winner.\u00a0 <\/span>The Musketeers
\npull their goalie for two minutes but fail to get that much needed tieing goal ending any Clark Cup repeat dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sioux City gears-up to take on arguably the best team the League has seen in many seasons. The Fargo Force lose just a
\ndozen games; finishing with regular season with an unprecedented 102 regular season points.\u00a0 Their starting goaltender is
\ntops in wins, save percentage, goals against average and leads the league with five shut-outs. The Fargo goaltending duo

\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Game 1
\n<\/span>The underdog Musketeers strike first, on a goal from Owen Keef<\/strong>. However, the home team retaliates minutes later
\nand ties the game after the first. Sioux City would fall victim to two soft goals; the game-winner a border line high
\nstick and a bad bounce of the glass, would prove the needed points for the game one victory. Samuel Urban<\/strong> would
\nsee a ton of shots, stopping all but three of the Fargo’s thirty-five attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Game 2
\nAfter a scoreless first period, it’s the Musketeers getting on the board first with a Hagen Burrows<\/strong> red-lighter.
\nBut like last night, the home team responds and the game is knotted-up after two. However, a laserbeam of\u00a0 a
\nshot from Kaden Shahan<\/strong> finds the top corner, giving the Musketeers the lead with seven very long minutes
\nremaining. Sioux City is able to apply pressure as the clock ticks down for the Force and feeling the urgency
\nthey pull their goalie for the sixth attacker. With just over a minute remaining Colin Kessler<\/strong> seals the deal<\/em>
\nscoring a pair of empty netters for the victory. Samuel Urban <\/strong>would grab an assist on the second Kessler
\ngoal and stop thirty-three shots on goal to even the series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5-Musketeers vs. Fargo Force-2
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Game 3
\n<\/span><\/span>The friendly confines of the Tyson Event Center do not disappoint. The first period saw the home team muster just
\nthree shots on goal, however quality over quantity prevails, when Colin Kessler<\/strong> finds the back of the net to tie the
\ngame after the first. As the middle period begins, everyone can sence the home-town momentum starting to build
\nand by the time the period ends Ethan Gardula<\/strong>, Kaden Shahan<\/strong> and Giacomo Matrino<\/strong> have all beat the league’s
\ntop goaltender.
\nThe final period sees the Force shift into high gear and the league’s most proficient offence needs results quickly.
\nEventually they get a power play goal and cut the lead to two, but with time running out they pull the goalie
\nand over-play their top line. With few minutes remaining, the Fargo offence is gassed and with just forty seconds
\nremaining Kaden Shahan<\/strong> outskates the defense and taps in the empty netter for his second of the night. Colin<\/strong>
\n Kessler<\/strong> had a three point night and Samuel Urban<\/strong> stopped twenty-four shots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nwas all green & gold and the Tyson was packed with fans thirsty for another upset. The game would stay back & forth until<\/span>
\nmid-period, when Fargo would strike first and after an early second period tally…they were off to the races.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nKaden Shahan<\/strong> and Owen Keefe<\/strong> fired-up the team, and the fans, with a pair of old school tilts, the likes not seen in the
\nTyson <\/span>in years.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the third period was not the comeback the fans expected but rather a twenty-minute show-
\ncase of the USHL’sbest team <\/span>dominating their opponents; adding three more red-lighters and stopping anything that
\nwent near the net.<\/span><\/p>\n

0-Musketeers vs. Fargo Force-4<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span>Game 5
\n<\/span><\/span>Returning to Fargo, the Musketeers still like their chances having won two games, one on the road, in dominate fashion.
\nAnother <\/span>road win for the Musketeers is not out of the question in this winner-take-all game.\u00a0 However, as soon as the puck
\ndrops, things go south quickly with the Musketeers <\/span>surrendering a goal just thirteen seconds into the game and another
\ntwo <\/span>minutes later. The Force would never look back, and for the second time in a row this phenomenal team would
\ndominate <\/span>the ice end to end. The Musketeer have no gas in the tank and, just like last night, they<\/span> can’t foil the USHL’s
\nbest goaltender despite their <\/span>twenty-one attempts. Sioux City bows out for the season and the Force advance to
\nthe finals, eventually becoming this season’s Clark Cup champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nfans hope that they could survive another day. The first period is a battle, the Musketeers out-shoot their opponents,
\nbut it\u2019s the Stars that are able to go up one after the first. Sioux City’s offence struggles again; collecting only two
\nsecond period shots on goal and defending seventeen shots in just this period. The third provides chances for the tying
\ngoal, but it just doesn\u2019t happen. Goaltender Samuel Urban<\/strong> stops thirty shots, surrendering just a single goal before an
\nempty-netter ends the game and the Musketeers season<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFargo is able to counter twice before Austin Schultz<\/strong> puts the visitors back in the lead, with just two seconds left in the period.
\nThe second is a virtual shooting gallery<\/em> in the Musketeers end. They allow twenty-six shots on goal, surrender two tallies and give-
\nup the lead. However, a Gavin Garry<\/strong> goal shifts the momentum and ties the game at three. The third is all Fargo; they grab

\n<\/strong>Game 3
\n<\/span>The Musketeers are back home, and with a loft of circus in the air,<\/em> they hit the ice in this must-win game three. Both teams total
\ntwenty-six shots in the first period, but it the Musketeers that capitalize on a Dakota Bailey<\/strong> red-lighter and end the period with
\nthe lead. Sioux City a little out-played in the second but limit the potential damage to just a game-tying tally. The third sees both
\nteams play defensive hockey, as if the next goal will be the winner. The teams launch a total of only six shots on net and the game
\nheads to overtime. The Musketeers grab the first two shots of the extra period and a minute and thirty-nine seconds later, Ashton
\nSchultz <\/strong>grabs his second overtime game-winner of the post-season. William Tomko<\/strong> assists on both goals and
\nJack Fichthorn<\/strong> is back to his usual self; stopping twenty-eight shots on goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

2-Musketeers vs. Fargo Force-3 OT<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong>Game 4
\n<\/span>With the momentum on their side and the home crowd in the stands, the Musketeers look to extend the series with a win tonight.
\nBoth teams trade goals in the first two periods; Gavin Garry<\/strong> grabs his third goal of the playoffs in the first and William Tomko
\n<\/strong> his second of the post-season in the second. The final period is another defensive battle as the game heads to extra hockey for the
\nsecond night. Fargo ups the game a bit in the first OT but the Musketeers are able to stave off the attack and do not go without
\ntheir chances at the potential winner. With the second OT well over half way done, the visitors find the top corner of the net for the
\nseries clincher. Jack Fichthorn<\/strong> makes thirty-one saves.<\/span><\/p>\n
