The Admirals play at Chicago tonight.
The same starters as last night, except it is Murray is in goal. Wilsby and Ufko on defense. The front line was Reid Schaefer, Jake Lucchini and Vinnie Hinostroza.
Nine minutes into the game, Kieffer Bellows (2) scored, with assists to Kemel (2) and Wilsby (2).
Ninety seconds later, Joakim Kemell (2) scored with an assist to Luke Prokop (1).
In the last minute of the period, Kemell (3) scored again, with an assist to Navrin Mutter (1), to make it 3-0 Admirals. The SOG were 11-10 Chicago. The Wolves are 0 for 2 on the Power Play.
Strangely, the Admirals have no Power Plays since the Wolves have no penalties so far.
Kemell has three points in just one period. The Chicago goalie is Yaniv Perets.
In Period 2, Wilsby had his stick slashed in two and he was sent to the box for playing with a broken stick. Just more BS AHL refs tonight! How did that stick get broken, dumb, dumbs?
Navrin Mutter get a 10-minute Misconduct at the same time. (He probably told off the refs.)
The refs are Jarrod "The Big Ragu" Ragusin (#2) and Shaun (Of the Dead from the Neck Up) Davis (#31), no wonder!!! Schaefer with a big hit on Sorum on the PK. At 12:54 of the period, Chicago finally gets on the scoreboard to make it 3-1 Admirals. At 13:28. Bellows (3) goes 5-hole to make it 4-1 Admirals on 13 SOG. Svechkov (1) and Kemell (3) had the assists. Four points so far tonight for Kemell, 2G and 2A.
Bellows is called for a slash. He goes to the box and the Chicago player does not! Hmmm.
Chicago is 8 feet offside on the PP and no call by the Linesman. The Ads killed the penalty. Chicago is now 2 for 23 on their Power Outage. Milwaukee received all 3 penalties in the Second Period. SOG 14-6 for Chicago and 25-16 overall.
Jeff, the intermission guy, is talking about the 5 penalties for Milwaukee and 0 so far for Chicago. He said that the whole season has been like that, and the Admirals are NOT a dirty team!
The third period is underway. Just 45 seconds in, Kyle Marino is called for Roughing, making the Ads 6th penalty. Blankenburg is tripped and no call. Kemell hauled down on a breakaway and no call. (I guess the Ads have to get a finger chopped off before a call will be made?) Schaefer with a big hit on Heimosalmi. Chicago ices the puck two times in a row because they can't stretch pass!
Milwaukee ices the puck with 12:29 remaining. SOG 3-0 Chicago. The Wolves shoot the puck out of play. The Linesman claims it was deflected. Chicago has EIGHT players on the ice. The Wolves get called for Delay of Game!!! OMG!!! Hinostroza takes a heavy hit from behind. Morrow is sent at 9:26 for Boarding. It is now 5-on-3 Admirals PP. Lucchini, Kemell, Bellows, Hinostroza and Blankenburg are out on the ice for the PP. (The Chicago PK is 7 of 13 for 56%.) Kemell with a slapper PPG from the left circle to give him a Hatter and a 5-point game. Assists to Hinostroza (7) and Bellows (2). Chicago still has 1:12 of Penalty Time to kill. The score is now 5-1 Admirals.
Nashville GM Barry Trotz is watching in person! Svechkov took a puck off of the glass and into his face. He is holding his face, but Aaron Sims sees no blood. Svech goes off with the Trainer. Marino went after Morrow. Marino was grabbed from behind by another Wolves player. Marino goes to the box, then to the dressing room, with 2 for Roughing and a 10-minute Misconduct at 11:54. Chicago gets No penalty. Svechkov isn't coming back tonight. SOG 3-3, and 28-19 overall. The Ads kill the minor penalty. The Chicago fans have mostly left their feckless team behind! Bellows and Kemell went on a 2-on-1. Bellows tried to go 5-hole and Perets stopped it.
Chicago is now trying to goon it up after the whistle! Hinostroza goes to the box for Slashing. HE IS THE ONLY PLAYER GOING TO THE BOX WHEN 2 or 3 WOLVES were involved. MORE REFS BS!!!!!
Murray with 32 saves. Perets saved 15 of 20 SOG, HA, HA! Kemell with FIVE POINTS.
The Stars of the Game were Kemell, Bellows and Prokop. No real surprises there.
Milwaukee has won 6 straight games and are 6-1 on the season. The Wolves suck big time!
The next Admirals home game is Saturday, November 9th, against Chicago, again.
