Game 5 between the Admirals and Stars, just like last season!
I expect Grosenick 2.00 GAA, 93% versus Poirier 2.70 GAA, 90% again. No, it is Kraws! He had 7 saves in Game 3and is 6'5".
Statsney will play. Gravel and McKeown on D. Schaefer, O'Reilly and Kemell, with Troy are the starters.
Kemell takes a shot to the face from 15 in the first 12 seconds. Ads score at 43 seconds!!! L'Heureux with assists to Wilsby and Parsnip. And another goal at 58 seconds!!!!
L'Heureux with helpers from Parsnip and Egor. The crowd did not have time to chant.
Kraws gets 2 rounds of chants. Loft digging at Mutter's legs after the whistle. He gets a headlock for his offense. Texas holding Parsnip's stick in the neutral zone. Weisblatt jumped by 3 Stars! He gets 2 for Roughing!! Gravel Xchecked into the boards and no call. McKenzie was involved in both incidents. Stars score with an assist to ref Cody Beach! Refs you suck, indeed. Gravel was talking to Beach before the face off with 12 minutes remaining. SOG 5-2 Ads.
Ufko punched in the face in front of Beach, no call. Fake icing called on Ads. Tomasino held in the O-zone, called by Hamilton with 6:22 left. O'Reilly scores 8 seconds later. Stars knocked the net off. Good PPG. Assists to Ozzy and Kemell. 3-1 Ads on 8 shots. Schaefer was highsticked and Ufko was punched in the face 10 seconds after.
Stars hooked the Ads puck carrier (Zach) at the Blue line and no call. SOG 9-7 Ads.
Poirier in net to start period 2. The ice looks soft. A couple of players slipped in the first minute. Statsney got mugged for 15 seconds by Pettersson and no call. Kemell 2 minutes for Interference. The replay showed nothing, ref Cody Beach!!!!
McKenzie hit Gravel in the head with his stick and no call by Cody Beach who was looking right at it. McKenzie needs a seat in Row 3! He is a DIRTY team Captain and the refs let him play that way in all 3 games here. A lot of choppy play to get to 7 minutes remaining. L'Heureux's Tripping was a clean hip check. Then 33 punches L'Heureux and he gets nothing. That was Hamilton on the Bad, Bad call. That is 2 phony penalties in this period. Tomasino called for Highsticking by Beach. It was iffy at best, so 3 phony penalties in the 2nd.
Texas goal immediately waived off by Beach. The whistle blew, then Troy was pushed into the net by McKenzie and another Star. Del Gaizo and #33 jabbed each other with their stick toes 3 times and Beach called nothing. Parsnip hit the pipe with 10 seconds left. That would have been the dagger! Poirier looked behind for it.
Period 3 began with the refs booed mildly by fans. Karlstrom claiming that L'Heureux lifted his foot. That is totally incorrect! Ads puck carrier pulled down from behind in the first minute and no call by Hamilton. Del Gaizo got a real penalty for Delay. Another Stars PPG, over Troy's left pad. It should have been 4-on-4! Gross wins a footrace for icing. Another icing by Texas. Ozzy just ran over the much larger Bichsel. Back for Slashing. Svechkov with the wrister to make it 4-2. Assists to Kemell and Cal O'Reilly. Egor takes a stick to the face by the Ads bench, no call. Mutter throws a check and #22 slashes him for 2 minutes. Svechkov tripped on the PP. Parsnip on a blatant trip. It was Back. A heavy shot on the 5-on-3 hit something.
Parsnip hauled down by his armpit, swung around on the ice and no call. The fans are screaming at the refs. That was 100% a penalty!!! McKenzie starting trouble at the Ads bench and no call. Egor being held in the NW corner and no call. The clock says 6:22. Plenty of time for a line brawl. Back Slashing at the glass after the whistle. Parsnip knocked down McKenzie behind the goal. Texas with 7 skaters and a goalie. No call. 4:11 left. Poirier off at 4:06. ENG by Schaefer with 2:42 unassisted.
Texas laying on Troy and the goal is called good? Now 5-3 and "refs you suck" breaks out. Texas arguing icing call. Now 9.6 seconds left. Texas takes a TO because the Texas Stars SUCK!!!!!!!!.
WE WIN 5-3, Troy is fired up!!!
The Admirals scored 14 G in 3 games at home versus Texas and outdid the #1 PP
in the AHL.
Edit:
After the game, McKenzie hugs ref Cody Beach for an extended time. After shaking hands with the Ads, Texas shakes the refs hands.
ONLY Troy shakes hands with Cody Beach.
The rest of the team shakes hands only with Hamilton! Bad blood there?
At one point, early in period 3, the penalties were 5-1 Admirals. Then Texas got 3 minors in less than 3 minutes.
Both of those items are interesting!
