Lady Luck truly is on vacation -

at least as far as the Aeros are concerned.
They kept the Admirals at bay ... both teams scoring 1 goal each in 1.

and none the 2 periods following.

Ads made their one goal in the 1. a power play goal. 1 of 8, while the Aeros with 6 PP managed to waste their opportunities, despite the fact that 2x they had a 3 on 5 advantage!

The sole and only Aeros goal was by Earl, 'the Pearl', back from the flooded North.

Surprise to see "Dubie" in goal - he acquitted himself very well, stopping 26 of 28,

Dekanich for the Ads stopped 26 of 27.

Daoust tries to slip one by...

Oh,uh where did the puck go???

And so it goes into OT..

Game's over when Dietrich with Santorelli slaps one past "Dubie" into the net, after Fraser lacked a bit on his defense. Was it that earlier hit, after which he skated so slowly off to the bench? Hard work, fast pace, the usual 'muddling along' on power plays, and several healthy scratches. The only one, still a medical scratch, Lannon, the "Cannon", retired ;-)!

And B. B'rusty' post surgery, in attendance, but slightly limping.

Admirals 2 Aeros 1.

Stars win, Wolves win, Admirals win....

Certo, seguramente, for sure, sicherlich:

Good Bye Calder Cup!

BIG SIGH by fans.

T'was almost if meant.

To end on a funny note: well, the skating was lots better than this ;-):
