game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Game 2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;First Killer scores first for Ultimates with a 101 kph shot off the crossbar, catches NRG not paying attention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Side Note, practicing bar down shots, is that a

score&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Defensive mixups and low boost for the Ultimates but they don’t manage to get punished before overtime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;First killer with a solo plays wins it for the Ultimates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Game

Atomic feeling good&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lj fakes out play and First Killer gets the Ultimates first goal of game 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ultimates have switched out their timing and pattern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;NRG seems to be more consistently in the opposition end, Atomic demos and redirects to get his third&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;NRG wins the game 4-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Game
