Chrona (1-1) is in goal. WIlsey and Ufko. Up front Schaefer, Lucchini and Hinostroza.
Vinnie is tied for the league lead in points with nine.
One of the refs is a woman, Samantha Hiller. This will be my first AHL game with a woman being a ref. I have see some international U-18 games in Madison two summers ago with all women officials. Last season, the Ads had a woman Linesperson.
The Wolves dominated the first 7 minutes, with 3 SOG to zero for the Admirals. On an Icing, Chicago had 9 players on the ice! Hiller made one of them come back off the bench. The other ref talked to the Wolves captain about there being six skaters on the ice for the puck drop. Montgomery went off. He was one of the 5 original skaters. I saw Ozzy crush him on the end boards. When is Chicago going to get penalized for doing all of this Unsportsmanlike Conduct? It was all a big circus stall to buy 20 seconds before the puck drop!
Fensore grabbed Bellows in front of me. Bellows heaved him off like an old pillow! Fensore was holding Schaefer before and after the face off. Schaefer gets a minor for Slashing Fensore. SOG 12-4 Chicago. The Wolves had 2 shots on the PP. Nine seconds carry over to period 2.
Chicago skated hard and pulled their usual illegal Slap Shot like tactics.
Chicago still skating hard and limiting the Ads shots. Ratcliffe just hit the left post. This goalie is sloppy is not good at catching the puck. The Ads need more shots. Ratcliffe was punched in the face by 2 Wolves. The refs even it up? The Wolves could have been called for 3 penalties in that mess, instead of one!
Ref Beau Halkidis needs some time in the ECHL!
Ads called for 2 penalties! What total garbage! They get one PPG courtesy of the incompetent refs! Most Beau Halkidis. Wolves for High Sticking, #2 Fensore against Schaefer in the neutral zone. This goalie keeps flopping out of the net and gets away with it. Eventually, the Ads will make Martin pay for being down and out!
Fensore called for High Sticking Ratcliffe. That isn't easy to do. Ref Hiller called that one. Svechkov scores a PPG on his own rebound and slid the puck in behind Floppy Martin. O'Reilly with the assist.
Schaefer just hammered somebody on front of the Ads bench! I am surprised that the guy got up. It was a loud boom from 150 feet away. Ads had a shot off a face off. Martin was looking behind him. Wolves starting trouble in two spots as the horn sounds.
Total SOG 20-17 Wolves, but 13-8 Ads in the period.
