Seattle Torrent's Season Over After Getting Blown Out by Vancouver
It's done. The Seattle Torrent are officially out of the playoff hunt after dropping a 4-1 decision to the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Tuesday night in British Columbia. A loss that stings even more because it came against another expansion team fighting for their own playoff life, and Vancouver is the one that's still breathing while Seattle is headed for the offseason.
Vancouver Puts It Away Early
The Goldeneyes wasted no time setting the tone. Hannah Miller scored early in the second period to get things rolling, and from there it was all Vancouver. Sarah Nurse, Anna Meixner, and Madison Samoskevich all found the back of the net, with Ashton Bell chipping in two assists on the night. The real gut punch came when Meixner and Samoskevich scored 33 seconds apart in the second period to blow the game wide open at 4-0. Miller's goal was her fourth of the season and marked her 50th career PWHL point.

The Numbers Tell the Story
Vancouver's goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer was the real difference maker, stopping 29 shots and nearly posting a shutout. On Seattle's end, starter Corinne Schroeder couldn't get out of the second period, surrendering four goals on 15 shots before being pulled. Carly Jackson came in relief and stopped all nine shots she faced, but the damage was already done.
The Torrent are now sitting last in the eight-team league with just 26 points and only two wins in their last six games. The Goldeneyes snapped a three-game losing streak and climbed to 30 points, good for seventh place. They're still technically alive for a playoff spot since the top four teams make it, but Vancouver's got their work cut out for them. The Ottawa Charge are currently sitting fourth with 36 points. Seattle? They're mathematically done.
This is a brutal way to end the season for an expansion team that never quite found its footing. The Torrent needed a spark and instead got extinguished.
