Group Hug

"Skating home" after a hard night's work ;-)"!
"Irms" Irmen racing out, and the Aeros are a charged up team.
Hrkac getting face offs. Hrkac rock solid at center. Hrkac in right place many times!
1. period: On the 2. Power Play, (Meyer in Box) Nathan Smith, "The Streak", with 'King Duncan" Milroy and "Speedy" JonDisalvatore get the 1. goal. The High over that, sparks a fight between Falk and Bickel. Daoust and Picard, too have penalties. Aeros are feisty tonight!

2. Period: feistiness continues-Rau rushes , but is stopped before reaching Tordjman's net. With their 15 SoG the Aeros score the 2. goal by "The Streak" Smith with "The King" Milroy and "MacAttack" McMillan (back spectacular save by "Dimples" Anton Khudobin. from his suspension and ready and fired up to go!

This is goal Nr. 3 by "Speedy" Di Salvatore, with "Sunny" Fraser and "Son of a Gun"-derson at 14.49

(sorry about the fuzziness. the excitement, you know!).

Sullivan and Kalus (19:39) have at it, with Kalus getting the better of it, both get 5 for fighting, why Sullvan did not also get some for "instigating" is a mystery, the replay showed that Sullivan started the brawl.

And so into the 3. Period with just 3 seconds in, "Irms" sits for holding, Almond "Joy" rushes but loosed the puck; "Frisky" Gillies is tripped, no penalty called; "Dimples" is pulled in favor of extra attacker;

Spectacular save by "Dimples" but just a few seconds (seemed like just a few seconds) later, Rampage's Sharp and Hoggan made it 3-1.

Despite Tordjman being pulled in favor of the extra attacker, "Dimples" held fast and thus

AEROS win Over Rampage 3-1!
In Houston, On home ice, In front of half (alas) the audience than last game!
