Monstrous Win for Hackett

 What a game:
Aeros are hot, keeping the stick to the puck they out shot the Lake Erie Monsters, who seemed just not all there.

The occasional great passes, the rare bursts of speed.. but nothing helped. Monsters could not get a goal.



 Without the really quite herouic saves by Bacashihua, the LEM could have lost even bigger.  After all he made 38 saves while being peppered by the 'wildly' aggressive Aeros. 

Daoust made his penalty shot count and Aeros are up one.

Rau who truly earned his sobriquet WOW, was everwhere, playing extremely well. He made it 2 - 0 with the help of Earl, who in turn got a PP goal helped by Peters and Ortmeyer and so it stayed till the end Aeros 3-LEM 0.



Another save by Hackett



Hackett holding on to end

Ortmeyer, the veteran, must have injected some spunk into the team, and the Aeros flew across the ice, a fight between Gillies and Gaunce broke out, but really why.. the game was won already.



Bacashihua was like quicksilver at times,
whipping from side to side, from behind his own net to the front to stop another puck, with gloves, blocker, legs, stick...
and body turning somersaults on the way to stopping that puck..
 I believe I caught his most dramatic save below in a few snaps.
