Each week I hope to shine the spotlight on one game. It might be a shocking upset, it might be a last minute comeback or just a game I found entertaining. I hope you will find it entertaining as well. This week it's the newly promoted Tampa Bay Kraken vs. the Three Kingdom Warriors, let's take a look at the action.
The Kraken kick off and the home crowd goes nuts, a tackle for loss by Atari Blades set the tone on first down:

Second down is a deflection and third down sees John E. Philipsen tackle Song Yuanyuan as he attempts to run after finding no one open:

But the crowd is silenced when Howie Wang forces a fumble on the punt and D. J. Wang recovers it:

TKW take over and try to take advantage of the momentum swing by going deep. But Leon "Lead-Pipe" Jones makes a huge play and picks it off returning it 55-yards for the TD:

Tampa's offense takes the field for the first times and drives into Three Kingdom territory. Long play is this 14-yard run by Daniel Larusso (Leg swept?):

Tampa Bay 10 - Three Kingdom 0
TKW wastes no time in answering back. Song hits Caspar Wang for 25-yards here:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3705609
That sets up this 51-yard field goal by Ensign Poops to get the visitors on the board:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3705743
Tampa 10 - Three Kingdom 3
Tampa starts at their 20 after a touchback. Daniel LaRusso gets the ball across midfield with this 36-yard scamper. Check out the block by Troy Brown II:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3705819
But LaRusso must be tiring, three plays later his number is called again. It's a nice gainer but just as he crosses the 10-yard line on his way in for a TD Self Possesed comes up from behind and strips the ball. Lag Wagon jumps on it and TKW takes over:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706014
Tampa's defense stands tall with Phallanx Bones coming up with another 3rd down deflection to force a punt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706080
Tampa takes over at midfield and LaRusso gets to work, going for 12, 9 and then a 22-yard TD run to make up for that fumble:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706245
Tampa 17 - Three Kingdom 3
TKW knows it can't afford to fall behind much further. On 2nd and 10 Song reaches into his bag of tricks and pulls out a nasty pump-fake that freezes the SS, Herman "Mo Town" Moore shakes loose the CB and is gone, 69-yards for the TD:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706368
Tampa 17 - Three Kingdom 10
Momentum is turning, when Tampa gets the ball back Brian Steger tries a run up the middle and Lag Wagon forces a fumble which is recovered by Ronnie Wang:

Tampa 17 - Three Kingdom 17
Tampa goes to work, LaRusso carrying the load as usual. Here is a 23-yard run sprung by some good blocking by LL CoolJ:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706845
But Hampton Wang gets a sack on Lucky Lee which leads to a punt near midfield:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3706894
Tampa's defense holds, deflection by Pea Flap forces a punt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3707062
Tampa takes over at midfield and the passing game finally starts to click. They drive 51-yards on seven plays, the drive is capped by this 19-yard TD pass from Lee to White Man Deluxe:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3707329
Tampa 24 - Three Kingdom 17
Three Kingdom has been down before and starts to battle back. This 29-yard pass from Song to Andre Wang gets them into Tampa territory:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3707527
TKW is on the doorstep and ready to tie up the game again. Song drops back looking for Andre again, this time in the end zone. But Rocky Onyx picks it off, he is about to take a knee and let Tampa take over at the 20, but he decides to bring it out. Could a MLB take an interception back 106-yards? Yo Adrian, I did it!:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3707837
Tampa 31 - Three Kingdom 17
That is the score at the half, two pick sixes have given underdog Tampa a commanding lead. Tampa also gets the ball first and after a loud ass-chewing by their coaches the defense is fired up. On the third play from scrimmage Silver Swatter picks off a pass by Lucky Lee and takes it to the house making it a one-score game:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3708516
Tampa 31 - Three Kingdom 24
The teams trade punts after that. Tampa puts together another decent drive and it ends in this 46-yard FG by Top Gun:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3709011
Tampa 34 - Three Kingdom 24
TKW answers that drive with one of their own. Big tackle here by Dano Might on 3rd and .5, the loss of 1.5 forces TKW to settle for a FG:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3709343
Tampa 34 - Three Kingdom 27
Tampa goes three and out and TKW has another chance to drive and tie the game. They get to midfield when disaster strikes again. Song looks for Moore but it is picked off by Secret Service Bones. Tampa does not waste this chance. Lucky Lee hits Piledrive Bones for 14 to put it on the doorstep:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3709988
Brian Steger punches it in from a yard out:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3710008
Tampa 41 - Three Kingdom 27
All of this bad luck, will TKW just pack it in? No chance. Song to Moore is heating up. Back to back connections for around 20-yards a pop quickly moves the ball down field:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3710271
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3710307

Tampa 41 - Three Kingdom 34
Tampa gets the ball with 10:25 left. But they cannot pickup a first down. Big deflection here by Ronnie Wang forces a punt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3710658
Three Kingdom takes over on their own 16 and puts together the drive of the game.
Datong runs for 12:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3710802

Finally, No-Use-For-A Name punches it in from two yards out and we are tied!
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711110

A poor 32-yard punt give Tampa the ball near midfield. But Rod Wang deflects it on 3rd and 7 forcing a punt:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711642
Three Kingdom takes over at their 20, but Atari Blades gets a deflection on 3rd down forcing them to punt it away again:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711756
It's a good punt this time, but Justice Brandeis returns it 18-yards to the Tampa 40:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711878
Tampa realizes that passing isn't working right now and starts to pound it. There is under two minutes left. No gain on first down:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711919
Steger picks up 9 on 2nd and 10:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711953
3rd and 1 and Steger picks up a huge four yards and the ball is into TKW territory:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3711974
From the 47, Steger runs for 4-yards again and Lucky Lee Spikes it. That sets up a 3rd and 6 on the 42.5 with :49 seconds left. Lucky Lee looks for Piledriver Bones over the middle and picks up 15-yards:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3712059
With no timeouts left, the special teams coach starts yelling his ass off and sends on the field goal team. They lineup and get off the FG attempt with :05 left, it is up, it is good!!!!
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1079844&pbp_id=3712095
That leaves :01 left but TKW can only complete it for 18-yards.
Final score: Tampa Bay Krakens 44 - Three Kingdom Warriors 41
It was a great game. Tampa needed everyone one of those turnovers to pull off the upset. Two very good teams here.
I will try and do this for one game each week. I hope you like it.
