I got to the arena later than usual. The good news is that the Firebirds spent 2 minutes of the warm up just standing around. Usually, they are very active. Karl Taylor is 12-3 in elimation games and 4-0 this season.
The refs are Stephen Hiff (#46) and Morgan MacPhee (#43). I believe that the former worked the two Ads wins in Henderson and was an excellent ref.
Troy is in goal versus Chris Driedger.
The other Admirals starters are Statsney and Wilsby with Weatherby, Egor and Mutter on LW.
Driedger mishandled the Ads first shot. Two CV players tried to move Mutter from in front of the goal, and it did not work. Five shots and 4 of them were bouncing around in the crease! Ozzy crushed somebody (Goyette) in the SW corner. Some fool just tried mixing it up with Mutter. I hope he has a good dentist. Driedger hit Tomasino with a high stick and Phil was yelling at the ref fod a call Schuldt just knocked Allison's helmet off and no call. It has been a wild and fast 7 minutes. Henman xchecked Ozzy twice after the whistle and no call.
Allison scores with assists to Svechkov and Del Gaizo!!! Driedger looks shaky. A shot from the right point looked like it was going in until it hit L'HEUREUX in the ankle. Cal was tripped by Fleury and it should have been called. Ref you suck is ringing out. Allison missed goal #2 by inches as the puck flew by Driedger. CV ties it by going 5-hole with 8:21 remaining. Gravel crushed somebody on the end boards. Parssinen with a big check! CV with 9 skaters! Mutter with an open ice hit on the NW face off dot. Melanson was behind the Ads net. He fell down and went boom courtesy of the 4 Ads players surrounding him. Gravel just spun Melanson like a top at the Blue line, followed by icing. Carrick hits Allison after the whistle and got a face full of glove in return! Kemell and Schaefer with big hits make CV cough up the puck. Kemell from the slot makes it 2-1 on 10 shots. Assist went to Cal. It is very loud. Weatherby with a big hit. CV ties it at 1:38 on a 10 footer from the slot over Troy's left schoulder. CV just hit a post.
L'Heureux dumped behind the play. At the horn, Carrick knocks L'Heureux down in the SE corner. When L'Heureux tries to get up, Carrick punches him in the head and no call. L'Heureux got up again and got in his face, then the linesmen show up. When will the REFS show up? SOG 12-10 CV.
Period 2 begins with the Ads winning the face off again. Del Gaizo nearly puts Melanson into the CV bench with a check. CV has the only SOG in 4 minutes of play. Gravel looking like Bobby Orr on the rush. Lind going after L'Heureux after the whistle. Ads win another D-zone face off. That was Cal. Ads get the first penalty of the game. After what was not called in period one, that is ridiculous! "Ref you suck" breaks out again. McKeown crushes McCormick in the SW corner. He is slow getting up. Ads killed it. At the half way point, it is 2 all and the SOG are16-12 CV. Del Gaizo blindsided when going to the Ads bench! The refs FINALLY called Melanson for a minor for Interference for the DIRTY hit. SOG is 16-14 CV, Ads hit the post seconds into the PP. Del Gaizo tripped at the Blue line and no call. There are 41 seconds left in the penalty. Svechkov scores 5-hole 10 seconds later with assists to Ozzy and Ufko at 12:44 of the period. SOG 19-16 Ads!
Tomasino Tripped in front of ref #43, who calls it. Ufko was a blast from the center of the Blue line. I could hear the thud from 200 feet away. Troy just gave Henman a glove in the face. I guess he will stay out of the crease next time? With 2:37 remaining, it is 3-2 Ads with SOG 21-17 Ads. Milwaukee has taken over this period and CV can't do Jack. A CV player is down in front of their net. I think the puck hit him in the face. (Cleveland beat Hershey 3-2) Lind just punched Parsnip in the back of the helmet well after the whistle. Parsnip hit him back.
The Ads go down the ice and score with 43 seconds left. L'Heureux has 10 goals! Assist to Tomasino. Statsney gets 2 for Slashing. I did not see it live or on the replay. Ads 4-2, SOG 22-19 Ads. My seat neighbor did not see a slash either. The FAKE penalty carries over for 1:36. I asked my friend who sits 4 seats and an aisle over and behind the right post of the south goal; he did not see a slash either!
Period 3 begins with a CV PP. The Ads win the face off an get a shot. Driedger mishandled it. Ads have won all three first face offs tonight and they killed the FAKE penalty! Henman goes to the box for High Sticking. Fleury punching Ozzy in the back of the head repeatedly and no call. It should have been called. Melanson committed 2 penalties. Mutter just hip tossed Evans who tried to hit Mutter from behind after the whistle. They go for Roughing and Melanson gets NOTHING. The game is getting close to breaking out into fights with 13 minutes to go because the refs don't call the cheapshots on the Firebirds, and there are a lot of them.
Mutter is hauled down in the O-zone, then Parssinen is hauled down and ref #46 called neither obvious penalty. Ads robbed out of another penalty by ref #43 and Phil (5) scores seconds later from the bottom of the left circle on a wrister. Parsnip (9) and Zach L'Heureux (6) on the assists at 14:11 to make it 5-2 Ads with 29 SOG to 23.
Driedger is staying by the CV bench with 5:15 remaining. He steps off the ice. "Better goalie!" ENG from 200 feet by McKeown. Somebody threw cigars on the ice here at 6-2 Admirals. SOG 30-25 Admirals. Ufko just hit 96, the biggest guy for CV, who tried to cheapshot him. Two Firebirds just backjumped 2 Admirals at 2:53. Carrick goes to the box for Roughing. CV player is pulled off of the bench to serve 2 minutes. It was Studenick for Hooking. Fleury is attacking 3 Admirals players and Svechkov scores goal #7. Assists to Ufko and Kemell.
Poteraski gets a misconduct. McKeown gets jumped by Hughes and they fought for about a minute. Hughes should be suspended! Four misconducts handed out. With about 20 seconds left, a Firebird elbowed Egor in the back and Egor wanted to fight him. I think he said "Let's Go".
Driedger went down by the Admirals bench in an effort to fight Troy. He should be suspended for leaving his crease and crossing the Red line and approaching the Admirals bench!
Four more misconducts were handed out at 20:00, including Max McCormick, the Firebirds Captain. The Firebirds got 69 minutes in penalties to the Ads 53. The majority came in the last 3 minutes of the game when the score was 6-2.
I told you that Driedger looked shaky!!!
The Ads scored 2 PPGs, one 5-on-3. They went 22 PPs without scoring. This was the first 5-on-3 in the playoffs for Milwaukee.
The Ads never trailed in this game.
CV fell apart in period 3
