Recap
It was nice to be able to finally go to a game in person instead of listening on the radio, but I wish it had been a better one for the home team. Starting in the 1st period, at the 1:44 mark, Hershey's Dane Byers was charged with slashing. A few minutes later, Norfolk's Charles Sarault was charged with hooking. At the 9:28 mark, Norfolk's Ryan Parent was charged a double minor for high-sticking, but the Bears power play unit struggled again. In a matter of 34 seconds, the Bears got two penalties. Ryan Stoa was charged with high-sticking, and Tyson Strachan was charged with delay of game. On that 5-on-3, Norfolk got on the board. Emerson Etem scored his 15th of the season, from Devante Smith-Pelly & Andre Petersson. To end the period, at the 18:00 mark, Norfolk's Steven Whitney was charged with hooking. Norfolk had the 13-6 shot advantage after the 1st.
The 2nd period was a little more ever, and got strange at one point. 50 seconds into the period, Norfolk took a 2-0 lead. Andre Petersson scored his 19th of the season (2nd point of the game), from Emerson Etem (2nd point of the game) & Charles Sarault. 48 seconds later, Norfolk's Nolan Yonkman was charged with roughing. At the 9:41 mark, Hershey cut the lead in half. Michael Latta scored his 11th of the season, from Dane Byers & David Kolomatis. Around 4 minutes later, Norfolk got the lead back to 2. Emerson Etem scored his 16th of the season (2nd goal and 3rd point of the night), from Garnet Exelby. At the 14:21 mark, penalties were given to each team after a fight featuring Norfolk's Joseph Cramarossa & Hershey's Steve Oleksy. A minute and a half later, Hershey's Dane Byers was charged with hooking. On this power play, I saw what is possibly the strangest goal I've ever seen. Hershey's Tyson Strachan shot the puck towards the Norfolk zone to clear it, but with the strange bounces that the puck took, it ended up in the back of the net past John Gibson. That was his 3rd goal of the season, and it cut the lead to 3-2. Norfolk kept the shot advantage, now at 22-21.
The 3rd period had chances for each team. Within around 2 minutes of each other, the Admirals got 2 penalties. Chris Wagner was charged with tipping, and Ryan Parent was charged with hooking. At the 8:03 mark, Hershey's Nicolas Deschamps was tripping. Hershey had multiple chances towards the end of the period, but just couldn't get the puck past John Gibson. At the 19:54 mark, two penalties occurred. Norfolk's Jesse Blacker was charged with unsportsmanlike conduct, and Hershey's Kris Newbury was charged with slashing. At the end of the game, Norfolk's Garnet Exelby and Hershey's Michael Latta was charged with fighting. Hershey finished with the shot advantage at 37-36. Hershey will look to string together some more wins for the playoff push, starting on Friday against the Providence Bruins. Game time is at 7:05.
