in front of a measly crowd (but it IS a Thursday night) of 4000 - absent STH must have been counted as well, because it just did not look that full to these old eyes :-)!
But even though they won with the empty netter by McMillan and Fontaine by 4 to the sole goal by Checkers' by Terry, Welsh and Raymond in the 2nd period, IMO it was not as exciting a game to watch as others have, and this one could have been. it was a win at home and that makes up for a lot, right, chers reader-hockey-fans?
Right?
 |
| First in line is Phillips.. last is Kuemps ;-)! |
Kuemper did extra well, stopping all but that one, which did come on a PP for the Checkers.
Yes, the team's passing has rather improved.
Yes, 2 of 4 PP resulted in goals, by Phillips, Kampfer and Petersen, and Fontaine, Connelly and Petersen in the First.
Scandella with Granlund (he
does a good job lining up pucks for others to score with) and Kuemper, put Aeros on the board about half into the First!
Yes, there was some grappling, and one real fight, and yet, IMO, it was just an average game.
 |
| Muse Nr. 1 during 1.period |
 |
| Fredheim on guard |
 |
| Granlund keeps a sharp eye on puck after face off |
 |
| Save by Kuemps- first of 3 |
 |
| Second of 3 |
 |
| Saved-Third of 3 |
 |
| All looking, open mouthed, at Kuemper's saves from earlier in the game ;-) |
Checkers switched goalies after Muse let in 3 in the First.
 |
| Madore Nr. 30 stops one of the 16 SOGS |
And Rob Madore (also a 'short' goalie at 5'10), was so good in the 2. and 3. periods that Aeros could not score with any of the 16 Shots on goal. BTW the 2 Shots on Goal they managed on Madore in the Third were - shall we say - less than stellar!:-(
But a win and 2 points that's what counts, right!
