The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Has Mark Friedman showed up at all yet? That trade was more than 10 days ago? :dunno:
Friedman was one of the 6 Dmen on Friday versus Henderson. He had 1 SOG.

Del Gaizo scored the first two goals of the game and was the #1 Star. Statsney had a 1G, 1A and was the #2 Star. Marino had an assist to be the #3 Star in a 6-2 win over Henderson (Las Vegas) in front of 6200 fans. SOG were 29-23 Ads. Kemell had a PPG for Milwaukee.

Both goals scored on Chrona were on the PP. I believe that Milwaukee is 5-0 versus the Silver Knights all time.

On Saturday, they have a chance to make it 6-0.

Denisenko was ejected late in Period 2 for Charging. De Leo served his 5 minutes and scored the 6th goal.

The first place Admirals (27-17-3-4) host the 10th and last place Henderson Silver Knights (20-29-2-0).

Mitch McLain is the only ex-Ads player on this team. Mason Geertsen, #4, is the one who injured Kemell in January of 2024 at Henderson with a late check behind the play in Period 1. He was ejected in Period 2 for coming off of the bench at 0:00 and trying to start a fight.

The ice looks soft by the boards (again). It is Hockey Fights Cancer Night. For the honorary puck drop, the two team captains had a long talk!

Murray is in goal. At LD is Gravel, with Statsney. LW is Denisenko, O'Reilly at C and Ozzy. The Ads are wearing their red jerseys and hockey stockings.

Bjork was dragged down by a horse collar in the SW corner and no call. Then Ufko was Tripped about 2 minutes into the game, which was called. De Leo (3) scores 5-hole on a rebound of Statsney's (11) shot. Friedman (6) had the other assist on a cross ice pass at the Blue Line. The Ads nearly scored again, seconds later. HSK holds Lucchini's glove and Jake is called is called for Holding. HSK scores a PPG at 6:11 to tie the game. Poor officiating!!!

Marino, Pavel and Wall are up front, with Gravel and Statsney. HSK does a lot of cross-checking. It is how they played defense last season.

O'Reilly centers Ozzy and Denisenko, with Del Gaizo and ?. Kemell called for a Slashing minor that I and my daughter did not see. The Ads had the puck behind their own net at the time for a possible break out. Ads killed the PP with 8:00 minutes remaining. SOG are 9-6 Ads. Kemell cross-checked from behind and he loses the puck. No call. Something happened in the NW corner as 3 Ads players go after #19, Brisson. He got 2 for Roughing as did Friedman. I will guess that he hit Matt Murray with his stick well after the whistle to get that reaction. #65, Mayo, goes for a minor for Cross-Checking Statsney in the SE corner. HSK killed the PP. SOG 13-11 Ads. HSK's motto is "Cross-Checking is Us!".


Period 2 begins with the same 6 Ads who started. After a line change, Ufko and Del Gaizo are on with?

HSK's team captain just high sticked an Ads player in front of their bench and way, way after the whistle! No call? How can that be?

Marino with a big hit, then he flipped a guy with a bigger hit by the Ads bench. HSK is only interested in going after the smallest Admirals, not any of the big ones! Ottenbreit and Friedman are paired. Friedman is not a fast skater.

With 10:12 remaining, HSK scores on a 2-on-1 against Friedman, who covered neither player!

HSK called for High Sticking with 9:55 remaining. The guy gets out of the box and Friedman lets him take an open shot from the slot! Marino hammers #12 in the NE corner and draws a fight from McLain, who lost badly. Marino was going to the box when #89 (McKay) grabbed him. He got 2 minutes for Roughing instead of the 10 minute Misconduct that he deserved! I thought that Marino was going to fight a fresh guy. The penalties were evened up as Marino got 2 minutes for Boarding.

Now Ozzy takes a stick from #44 well after the whistle as he was skating away from the HSK goal. That was not called. I am expecting a line brawl in the last 5:04. The refs are letting HSK get away with WAY TOO MUCH.

Ufko (6) scores 5-hole from the top of left circle just after the minors expired. Assist to Ozzy. SOG 19-17 Ads with 3:08 remaining. McKay slashed an Admiral (Friedman?) like 5 or 10 seconds after the whistle and Ottenbreit went after him! There was a Second Fight going on nearby. HSK #20 Fighting vs Denisenko, who does not seem to like his old team at all. McKay got 2 for Roughing and 5 for Fighting. The Ads have a PP with 2:31 remaining. Marino comes out of the box.

McLain, #75, comes out of the box to a chorus of boos from the 9000 fans. He was limping like he had a leg cramp. Total SOG were 23-18 Ads in a 2-2 tie.


Period 3 begins with Rolston joining Cal and Ozzy. I guess Denisenko is still in the box for Fighting? Bjork, De Leo and Reedy are up front. #44 interferes with Ozzy, then checks him, then holds his stick. No call. Kemell checks #25, who hits Kemell's linemate in the neck with a cross-check and no call. Wall knocks down #5 and #65 slashes Roston, no call. The Ads can't clear the puck and Murray has it go over his left leg pad for a score. He should have stopped that shot. The Ads have 11:30 to score. SOG are 24-20 Ads. Marino checks #13, who looked like he wanted to fight. Marino gets dumped in front of the HSK goal and #5, Chase Pauls, gets a Minor for Hooking with 8:20 remaining. Bjork gets mugged after the face-off and ref Kyle Bauman just watches it go on for 15 seconds. That was ridiculous!!!

I have not seen Denisenko this period. I keep seeing Rolston playing on different lines. HSK scores on a counterattack at 17:40 to make it 4-2. Murray comes off with around 1:30 left. Ads take a TO. I have an idiot yelling behind me that it is "too late now!". Ozzy called for Cross-Checking. I did not see it. Ads lose.

Lehigh Valley (26-19-5-2, 59 pts) is 5th in the Atlantic Division. The Cowbells (27-18-3-4, 61 pts) with their pale yellow warm up jerseys and gold hockey stockings, with MORE by the knees, are warming up and remain in first place in the Central. The game jerseys are also gold.

Former Admirals Parker Gahagen (G) #31 (2 games?) and Anthony Richard (LW) #90 (2 seasons?) return with the Phantoms. They have never played before!

The starters were Matt Murray in goal. At LD was Del Gaizo with Ufko. Up front at LW Reedy, Angello at C, with De Leo.

Chris Kittan, of SNL cowbell fame, dropped the ceremonial puck.


Del Gaizo (8) scores on Gahagen at 27 seconds. The assist went to Marino (8).
He chipped it in, a backhander, from thr hash mark in the slot. With 17:01 remaining, #15 gets a Hooking minor, drawn by Pavel. SOG are 2 a piece.

The red light came on, but no ref signal. The play is under review. Ozzy called for Slashing after he was punched in the throat by #7. No goal. The red light came on by mistake. The Ads have 5 SOG in 5 minutes, mostly from the defense! LVP has the last 7 SOG with 10:16 remaining.

With 6:24 remaining Marino (5) slaps one in at the left post! Assists to Wall (5) and Pavel (9). Ozzy throws a big hit against #6 in front of the Ads bench and they end up fighting in the far circle. Punch count was Ozzy 10, with a knockdown against Emil Andrae, who is the same size and had 2 punches. Linesman T J Lyle yelling "Off" when the Ads were not!

Ads in a goal mouth scramble near the end of the period, but they don't get the puck in the net, so it stays 2-0 Ads. The SOG were 14-10 LVP.


Ads score and the goalie did not know it! The play is under review at 1:27. It is a good goal by O'Reilly (7) with assists to Denisenko (15) and Weisblatt (16). That was 3 goals on 13 SOG. The 14th was a breakaway by Pavel that was stopped by Parker Gahagen. Del Gaizo loses the puck near the Ads goal and LVP scores. Richard got the assist less than 6 minutes into Period 2, making it 3-1. Ads called for Icing when their player got to the puck FIRST. The face-off was at Center Ice. #37 whacks Ozzy with his stick on an Icing. The ref was following them closely as the puck brought back. Richard is called for Holding at 9:00, the next puck drop.

On defense, it is Ottenbreit and Friedman, as usual. #7, Belpedio, which sounds like a disease, keeps slashing and punching people and never seems to get called! I can't repeat what the lady behind me just said about him. It isn't just me. LVP keeps giving out head shots. That will not go over well if the Ads score again!
Gravel with Statsney. Just 3:48 to go in Period 2. SOG 22-20 LVP. SOG 11-10 Ads.


Period 3 begins with an Ads PP. Kemell has the puck go off of the heel of his stick and it ends up in the Ads goal at 35 seconds, making it 3-2 Cowbells. This crowd of about 3931 gets LOUD a few times a period. You would think that 3 times that number was here. There are 12 minutes left in the period. Richard shoots from the top of the right circle and ties the game around 9:30.

Marino (6) scores his second goal of the game on a give and go with 9:56 left! What a pass by Kevin Wall (2), about 40 seconds after the LVP score. Four goals on 24 shots. Ottenbreit (1) eventually got an assist. Marino tried to cut in on a pass at the LVP Blue Line. He is looking for a Hatter with 8 minutes left. It is a Frosty Four game! Marino missed a loose puck in the low slot!

Gahagen heads for the bench at 3:11. The whistle blows at 3:08. He leaves again at 2:54. At 2:04, Ozzy scores a 170 foot ENG!!! It is 5-3 Admirals (Cowbells) on 26 shots. "OZZY, OZZY, OZZY" breaks out again. SOG were 9-6 LVP. The Ads stay 2 points ahead of Grand Rapids.

Marino was the #1 Star with 2G and 1A. It was Marino's first 2-goal game as a pro.

The #2 Star was Kevin Wall with 2A.

The #3 Star was Ondrej Pavel with 2A.

Ozzy had a Gordie Howe Hat Trick!!!

Cal O'Reilly has 18 points in his last 20 games.

The first place Milwaukee Cowbells (28-18-3-4) play the sixth place Iowa Wild (17-30-3-1) for the first time in nearly two months. The Ads are 7-3 recently, Iowa is 4-5-1-0 with a two game win streak.

Former Admiral forward Ben Simon is an assistant coach for Iowa.

The Cowbells are wearing their gold jerseys with matching hockey stockings. Chrona will be in goal. LD is Livingstone with Ufko. At LW Marino, C is Pavel with Wall, so they are starting a heavy line up!


Just 6:35
The Cowbells have the only SOG in the first minute. O'Reilly's line came out next with Ozzy and Denisenko. The 3rd line is Reedy with Kemell and newcomer Jesse Ylonen (Oo-La-Nin), #56 (6'2" and 193#). He came from Tampa Bay in a trade for Anthony Angello. Bjork with Rolston and De Leo are the 4th line.

The starters came back out. Ufko just wiped out #43, Hunter Haight. The Wild score on a rebound at 6:29. A minute later, somebody dumped Friedman on his way to the Ads bench. Friedman got his number!

With 8:02 remaining, Marino just pulled a "Jimmy Huntington" by popping open the SE door with a check! Ouch!!!

Gravel shot a knuckleball from the left point. Wall hammered the puck from the opposite point and missed the net.

#74 just took out Chrona's legs. Ottenbreit decided to fight him at 18:08. The Cowbells have a PP! Ylonen (9) scores after 17 seconds with assists to Denisenko (16) and O'Reilly (27) at 18:25 to make it 1-1. SOG 9-7 Iowa.


For Period 2, Livingstone is with Friedman. The Cowbells score at 1:10. Ozzy passed to Gravel at the left point. Gravel fired a shot that the goalie seemed to stop. Ufko came from the right and tapped in the puck, which was behind Samuel Hlavaj, but not over the Goal Line!

Reedy scores over the left shoulder on a breakaway at 2:46, unassisted and shorthanded to make it 3-1 Cowbells. SOG are 10-9 Wild. The Cowbells have scored on every SOG so far in this period. Matier is playing with Friedman. Now it is Gravel with Ufko. Now Friedman with Livingstone. The Cowbells just missed scoring on a Neutral Zone turn over! Now it is Matier with Ottenbreit, so the Cowbells are playing 6 Dmen, they have just changed some partners.

Chrona with 2 stellar saves, the Cowbells don't clear and tic-tac-toe and it is in the net. Next time down Iowa shoots over Chrona's left shoulder to tie the game around 12 minutes.

Cowbells are SH again. Livingstone takes the puck away from 3 Wild players and fires it down the ice! Livingstone takes a puck to the chin and heads for the locker room at 3:55. There was no blood on the ice. Pavel just dragged 2 players to the net! No call. Friedman with Ottenbreit. Gravel with Ufko. Gravel goes off and Friedman comes back. Livingstone joins him with a few seconds on the clock. SOG 11-8 Iowa and 20-15 overall.


The players come out for Period 3. Pavel wins the face-off, but no SOG. Reedy ice dancing with #23 and away from Chrona. Friedman is playing the best that I have seen him. After 2.5 minutes of no SOG, Iowa gets three. Now 3 more as the Cowbells get one.

Kemell (12) with a seeing eye wrister through a lot of traffic and just inside the right post from left point. Assists to Ylonen and Friedman at 6:03. SOG 26-17 Wild. Hlavaj fell down on his own and was looking at the ref for a call. The fans were booing him!

Just 6:35 remaining. Turnover in the defensive zone leads to the tying goal by Iowa at 15:10. A terrible behind the Blue Line cross ice pass led to the goal.

Bjork shoots the puck off of Hlavaj's right shoulder and it goes up and hits the safety net. 6768 fans to set the cow bell record. Just 34 seconds left. Ads in the O-zone for a face-off. Wild offside at 22 seconds. SOG 15-9 Wild and 35-24 overall. We go to Over Time!

The OT starts with Cal, Ozzy and Ufko. Nineteen seconds and Iowa shoots over Chrona's left shoulder.
