The first period saw the first Aeros goal at about 11:31 by Zingoni, #19 with Noreau # 26 and DiSalvatore # 14 credited for the assist : the 1st power play goal for the Aeros.
"Love" ;-) incarnation Matt Kassian # 42 won his first fight with Rampage's #44 Lessard. Later Falk #44 and Bodie #20 Rampage had at it and sat for roughing. Smith # 8 got a double minor, and McMillan #27 a minor for slicing, while Rampage's # 23 Porter also received a minor, with just a few seconds to end of 1st period.
The second period started with Aeros 13 SOG and Rampage 4. Rampage really cranked up the speed and while Hogan # 22 Rampage sat out a minor, and Smith sat out his double minor, Chad Rau=WOW # 20 got a short handed goal assisted by Irmen, #19 at 1:47. At 4:21 Robbie Earl #17 scored putting Aeros up to 3 goals, assisted by toner #7 and Sifers #24.
Penalties were called on Stoner #7 and Rampage #20 Bodie. Rampage #44 Lessard also sat for interference. With just 2:48 minutes to go, Rampage's Correction: May #7, assisted by Thikonov & #91 Turris got goal Nr. 1.
Within less than 2 minutes, Rampage made their 2. goal by Mc Lean # 19 with Perrault #4.
Aeros seemed a bit lax during a 3-4 minute section of the 2. period, which ended with 22 SOG/3 goals by Aeros, vs. 14 SOG/2 gaols by the Rampage. Both teams played extremely physical at a furious pace.
4:42 minutes into The third period, Kassian faced off once more against Bodie. Belensky, Rampage # 9 also went to the box for slicing. Aeros could not convert the PP this time. But shortly thereafter DiSalvatore #14 with assist by Earl #17 and Rau=WOW #20 sent Aeros ahead with goal Nr.4. And Petr Kalus #32 with the help of McMillan #47 at 14:45 scored his first goal making it Aeros 5 and Rampage 2. And the Aeros were able to hang onto those numbers. Despite the fact that Kalus and Zimmerman (Rampage # 8) got into a fight with Kalus victorious to assorted yelling and screaming of the roused audience.
Irmen #19 sat for hooking and with a second to go Kassian# 42 and Ryan Hollweg Rampage # 11 were penalized 5 minutes for fighting.
Rampage goalie Tordjman wore sweater Nr. 38 instead of the listed Nr. 37 which threw me off for a bit, looking at the game from the Aeros' side in period one.
Scratches for Aeros: Fraser, Almond, Hilbert. Milroy and Lannon.
Rampage scratches: Meyer #10, Long #16, Spina #17, Mitera #21 and Donally #28
STARS OF THE GAME: #1 EARL, #2 DISALVATORE and # 3 RAU=WOW.
The Scrapper, Daoust , was in evidence but with less icetime. Smith, Gunderson, Gillies, Falk went all out while Testwuide, and Rogers played well. Kalus' speed was impressive, Daoust managed to "skate under arms " of several opponents. Overall it seemed to me , that Aeros skated well in 1. and 3. While Rampage took a bit longer to warm up and catch up with shooting at goal, especially in 2. and 3. periods.
The game ended with AEROS 5 (28 SOG) Rampage 2 (26 SOG).
