Idaho scored four in the opening period of Game 5 on Sunday, while Allen played their usual game of: "You just wait until I get outta this box & I'll take another stupid penalty while trying to injure you!" Not the kind of comeback strategy that a team should employ when down 3-1 in a playoff series, skating on enemy ice, with on-ice officials who have the previous game's two richly deserved suspensions fresh in their minds (especially the Abuse of Officials infraction). But hey, it's the Americans, they have a tradition to uphold.
Idaho cruised to a 6-0 final score, after they took some anger-induced penalties of their own in the third. So the Steelheads move on to meet Toledo in the Western Conference Finals. That leaves the two Florida teams to decide on Monday night (or Tuesday night, if necessary) in Jacksonville who will represent the South Division in the Eastern Conference Finals against Newfoundland.
They think they're still in the CHL.... Allen's behavior is an embarrassment to hockey. I love rough and physical play, but some of those guys are just plain dirty and dangerous. Glad the Steelheads booted them in 5 (although, I was (un)lucky enough to be at the game they lost).
Just call it: "The Toledaho Steeleye Series."Hmmm there's something awfully fishy about this Western Conference championship....
