This was a tough loss. Portland played well against the Bears. Hershey came out strong, but Portland weathered the first period storm. They outshot Hershey in the second period 14-4, but just couldn't beat Justin Peters although they had changes.
It was a couple unfortunate goals in the third period.

PORTLAND – After Friday’s game where the Portland Pirates and Hershey Bears combined for ten goals, Game 2 of the best-of-five series on Saturday was a slightly different.
The Bears scored twice in the third period for a 3-1 win over the Pirates before 5,057 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, knotting the Atlantic Division semifinal at one game apiece.
“Tonight was closer to what you’d expect from playoff hockey,” said Pirates’ coach Scott Allen. “(Hershey) came out like how we expected them to come out in the first few minutes of the game. They had a strong push, and then we came back with a real strong push. That second period, they scored, but I thought we took control, and we scored to tie the game.”
