The Ads are hosting the Manitoba Moose in front of a big crowd! Probably 7000+. The Admirals are going for their 12th win in a row against the 7th and last place Moose, who have 26 fewer points than Milwaukee. The Moose have won their last 3 games.
Two minutes into the game and Moose goalie Collin Delia made a good save against Del Gaizo. Moose get 2 minutes for Tripping from Ref Cody Beach (#45). No SOG during the PP. The Ads had one SOG during their second PP. During that PP, Delia knocked the net off before the Ads took a shot.
Egor just sent a Moose player flying into the NE corner on the PK. The Ads killed it. There is 2:20 remaining. SOG 12-7 Moose. The game started out with 3-0 Ads. No score in period 1. Del Gaizo seemed to be everywhere on the ice. The Moose have the bad manners to take SOG during their PPs.
Not much has happened in period 2, other than Egor running over a Moose player. He is turning into another Theron Fleury. The Ads go on the PP, 2 minutes to Ford for Elbowing. The Moose win the face off, come down the ice and score an unassisted SHG in 8 seconds. They score again on a 2-on-1 just out of Askarov's reach down low on the same penalty. The fans are wondering what is going on?
Stastney (5) scores from the top of left circle at even strength. Assists to Jankowski (30) and Reid Schaefer (8). The Ads are back in the game. Jankowski was robbed at the far post on a saucer pass by Egor. The checking has picked up! Jake Livingstone (2) just scored to tie the game. Assists to Weatherby and ? That was 4 goals in 5 minutes and the Ads just missed 2 more. Now the Ads don't miss. It was Del Gaizo (7) with assists to Egor (19) and Jankowski (31) two minutes later. Ads 3-2 with 3:08 remaining.
Where would Milwaukee be without their Dmen filling up the net? No deflections and no shots from close to the crease. Maybe Delia is near sighted? Svechkov wanted to fight somebody, #37, Henri Nikkanen, another Center. Kemell just creamed somebody in the NE corner. SOG were 12-11 Ads.
Kevin Wall (3) scored 2 minutes into period 3. Assists to Felhaber and Svechkov. He was Cross Checked during his celebration by #27, C J Seuss, who was surrounded by all 5 Admirals skaters. At the far end Livingstone was Cross Checked before the puck was dropped. After the drop, Livingstone hit the guy across the kidneys. No calls. Schaefer was just Cross Checked in the Neutral Zone. He got the guy's #. With 14 minutes left in a 4-2 game, there is plenty of time to find him on the ice. Wall for Slashing. I think it was #27.
Parsnip with the unassisted SHG. A league leading 12 SHG for the Ads! 27 just pitchforked an Admiral at the far end, then high sticked another one at the near blue line. The Ads are throwing some heavy checks in response. Five minutes to go. Jankowski just fought 3 Moose for the puck and won. He passed it to Schaefer, who got sandwiched. Ouch! The clock is down to 3:35.
Svechkov scored a goal near the end of the game. Ref Shaun Davis, who was close to the net, called it good. Ref Cody Beach, who was relatively far away, signaled no goal. There was no discussion or review and Svechkov was very unhappy about the call.
My daughter had a good view and she said it was a good goal. No goalie Interference nor Admirals in the crease. She stated that "Beach is a diva who wants to be the center of attention!" At 5-2, the game was decided.
During the 12 game win streak, the Ads have scored 51 goals and allowed 19. I believe that they had five shut outs. The Ads have won their last 11 home games, also a team record.
