A night best NOT remembered..

Aeros lost to Chicago Wolves 1-2. Second loss in a row, the LUCK of 13th died for sure this Sunday afternoon.

The lone goal went in at end of 1. period by Smith #8, assisted by DiSalvatore #14 and Daoust #38,"the Scrapper".
Wolves goal Nr. 1 by Krog #10 assisted by Sterling #29 in the 1.
Nr. 2 by Machacek #8 with Kulda #20 and Krog assisting.

Both 1. and 2. periods were mostly notable for the many penalties incurred by both teams and fights: Kassian #42 vs. Wolves' Gratton #4, McMillan #27 vs. Wolves Vernace #12 who also got a 2 minute for instigating which was sat out by #13 Stewart.
Earlier Kassian got a 'embellishment' penalty? Maybe because he kind kept his opponent on his rear ;-)?
This is NOT Kassian.. it's two goalies having at each other! A tribute to goalies everwhere..you need not stay out of a fight, guyz and gals!


Just a few seconds after Stewart sat for Vernace's instigating, he received a 10 minute for misconduct and was 'sent' out.
But Aeros could not capitalize and the second ended 1 Aeros with 21 SOG and Wolves 2 with 20 SOG.
Rookie goalminder Peter Mannino for the Wolves proved his mettle by stopping all but 1 of the Aeros 27 SOG.
Khudobin was pulled for an extra attacker, but Aeros had to scrabble even to prevent several empty nest goals by Wolves in the last few seconds.
Ice seemed a bit soft, perhaps, since several players in both teams took falls. Both teams showed signs being tired.

Scratches Aeros: the injured Hilbert and ALmond, Fraser, but I did not see Testwuide skate as well(did I miss him being scratched?.
Wolves scratches: The much anticipated (and feared?) Chelios, Anderson, Esposito, Oystrick, Lehman and McCarthy.
Stars:
Krog amd Machacek of the Wolves
Nathan Smith Aeros (for his lone goal).

I did feel that Goalie Mannino deserved some kudos!
But the powers that were decided otherwise
