I counted at least 15 missed opportunities, besides the 32 shots on goal that were thwarted by Wolves' Goalie Peter, "the Man"nino.
Who gave Wolves
a shut out win with 4 goals vs.Aeros 0.
a shut out win with 4 goals vs.Aeros 0.Darcy Kuemper, the young (20yrs), lanky (6'4") goalie from the WHL Red Deer Rebels probably felt right at home :-) with this Aeros team..
He acquitted himself rather well against the ravenous Wolves when he was sent in to start the 3. period as replacement to "Dubie".
As I expected Marco Scandella brawled lustily, dominating his opponent and grappling him to the ice.
Scandella skated as Nr. 21 and Kuemper as Nr. 35.
It started with the Wolves goal just a few seconds into the First by Greg Stewart. with Anthony Stewart and Doell. And ended with goal # 4 by Kulda, Anderson and Machacek late in the 2nd.
5 PP on either sides yielded no goals.
Daoust, Rau, Kalus, Noreau, DiSalvatore, Milroy, Fraser, Hrkac, et al. slapped hard shots at Mannino. Only they went high, to the sides, or "The Man"-nino caught them in his glove, stopped them with pads, stick ....it was wonderful to see that IF you were a Wolves fan ;-)!
Not so, of course for AEROS fans...:-( :-(!
And now I shall turn in-am completely drained watching the guyz skate so furiously, shoot so hard... only to be downed by the hungry Wolves....and more of such slaughter, perhaps, on Friday! Photos manana! IF I find a couple cute ones - LOL.
Good News on the Irmen Front: Baby Boy Irmen bowed in this afternoon, Mother, Father (a healthy scratch-natch) and Baby doing well.
And Mr. Hockey, Gordy Howe, celebrated today his 82nd Birthday!
