The starters are Del Gaizo and Wilsby. Cal centers Egor and Schaefer. Asky in goal. The Ads are wearing special jerseys with medium blue on the bottom changing to navy blue at the elbows. They have a large white A made of bones on the chest for Autism Awareness night with white numbers on back. The pants are navy and the stockings are medium (ice?) blue.
The Ads are 43-21-1-1 for 88 points to Chicago's 22-32-6-6 for 56 points.
Grimaldi scores 4 minutes into the game as Askarov was not paying attention!
Tomasino does not look sharp. His passing and stick handling are poor. He was less than 10 feet from the net and passed instead of shooting.
Donovan smacked Schaefer in the face after the whistle, knocking him down. No call. Ufko gets a questionable Holding penalty and the Wolves score in seconds to make it 2-0. Now 3-0 with Chicago having 7 players on the ice.
These officials are Horrible! In particular Graedy Hamilton who has refused to call 5 obvious penalties on the Wolves, including the Boarding against Schaefer about 15 seconds before the third goal. It could have been a 4 minute penalty and Schaefer is lucky that his neck isn't broken. The "Refs you suck" chant was directed at Hamilton with over 3 minutes remaining. The SOG were 13-12 Ads despite all of the O-zone time by the Wolves. Marinio cross checked an Ads player across the kidneys after the horn and there was no call.
The Ads came out shooting in period 2. Felhaber scored unassisted 7 minutes into the period. Alex Campbell scored about 30 later to make it 3-2 Chicago with his first pro goal. The Wolves got a penalty for Cross Checking. The SOG are 22-14 Ads. After 1 minute of PP, the Ads tie the game with a goal by Cal with assists to Ufko and Kemell. There are over 8 minutes left in period 2.
The Ads had a 4 on 1 that was called Offside. Total BS. The puck carrier was 5 feet ahead of the other Ads players. A Wolves player was sitting on an Admiral, he got up and punched the Admiral in the face and Hamilton called nothing. With 5:38 remaining, the "Refs you suck" was deafening!
Felhaber was fighting the much larger Alex Green. I did not see what started it. Tye got in some good punches and threw the SOB down to the ice! They both got 5. The only reason this game does not have a line brawl is the tie score. Chicago called for Tripping the puck carrier. Both refs raised their arms. It is miracle! There is one minute left. The Ads had some shots, but did not score.
The SOG are 25-18 Ads. After the horn, Chris Terry jumped off of the Chicago bench to get in the ear of ref Bobby Jo Love, #51. I have seen Love before. He is a terrible ref!
Period 3 will open with 49 seconds of penalty time carrying over for Chicago. Cal was tripped in the first 10 seconds. Wolves score ES at 1:51 to go up 4-3. Gravel was in goal foe about 5 seconds when Askarov was trapped behind the goal. Wilsby with a hip check! Chicago minor to Cory Conacher for Slashing. Ufko with the slapper from the middle of the blue line with PP assists to Egor and Kemell at 8:23. It is 4-4 with 11:23 remaining. Wilsby called for Hooking at 8:59. Marino was trying to fight Felhaber while Conacher tried to provoke players on the Ads bench. Two for Roughing and Conacher gets nothing!
What is worse than horrible? These so called refs!!!
Schaefer just took an elbow to the head from Fitzgerald. Weisblatt jumped Fitzgerald and got 4 minutes, plus a Misconduct. Fitzgerald got no penalty! He was punching Wiesblatt back. He should have been ejected!!!!!!!!!! He should be suspended.
The Ads killed it and Fitzgerald came onto the ice for the last shift. OT. Magic # is 2. At 3:31 left, Fitzgerald is on the ice. Rocco just got hammered in the SE corner by Wilsby. He was slow to get up. SOG 5-0 Ads
Now, the Shoot Out. Svech scored! Wolves scored. Gross scored! Rocco scored. Tomasino was stopped. Wolves stopped. Round 4, Egor off the Blocker. Wolves misses. Round 5 is Campbell. All the way to the boards, and a wrister into the net! Wolves stopped by the right leg of Askarov.
The Ads win and the Magic # is ONE!
Tye Felhaber had a Gordie Howe hat trick and was the #1 Star of the Game!
FU Fitzgerald, you phony Irishman!
FU dirty Wolves team. I am glad that the Admirals beat you 10 of 12 games this year!
FU Bobby Jo Love, 2nd worst AHL ref!
FU Graedy Hamilton, the WORST AHL ref!
Both of you should be fired.
Aaron Sims mentioned Wiesblatt for getting "some retribution" for the hit against Schaefer. He seemed very positive about what Weisblatt did. That is very telling that Sims would say that without saying that he is glad that Ozzy got that dirty bum in front of 6620 very loud fans.
