Recap
One of the strangest games of the season by far. That 2nd was one of the weirdest periods of the season. The game started off great for the Bears, as they got the first goal. Casey Wellman scored his 11th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Jim O'Brien. However, Nathan Walker would be called with a double minor for high-sticking, and the Admirals didn't take long to take advantage of the 1st half of that penalty. Emerson Etem scored his 6th of the season, from William Karlsson & Max Friberg. After the 1st, the Admirals had the 9-6 shot advantage.
The 2nd completely changed the look of this game. The amount of penalties has happened before in a period of a Bears' home game, but these penalties made sure the momentum was on the Admirals' side. In the early parts of the period, Norfolk was getting penalties called on them. As the period went on, more and more penalties were being called on the Bears, one after another. All those penalties finally caught up with the Bears, as the Admirals scored on one at the 13:21 mark. Emerson Etem scored his 2nd of the game (7th of the season), from Dany Heatley & Kevin Gagne. After the 2nd, and with all their power plays, the Admirals had the 26-15 shot advantage.
28 seconds into the 3rd period, the Admirals got an insurance goal to keep the momentum. Chris Wagner scored his 10th of the season, from Emerson Etem (3rd point of the night) & Kevin Gagne (2nd assist of the night). The penalties disappeared for almost all of the period, so there weren't any huge advantages for each team. However, at the 12:41 mark, the Bears got it to 3-2. Kris Newbury scored his 12th of the season, from Stanislav Galiev & Steve Oleksy. The Bears would catch a break on the penalty side, as Norfolk would receive two penalties near the end of the game. However, the Bears couldn't take advantage, and the Admirals would get a shorthanded empty net goal to put it out of reach. Dave Steckel got his 3rd of the season, from Marc Cantin. The Admirals finished with the 35-24 shot advantage.
Next Game: Saturday vs. Albany, 7:00
