Recap
What a way to end the regular season! Great performances by the Caps' recent draft picks led the Bears to a dominating win. The Bears started it off early, with their first goal coming at the 2:07 mark of the 1st. Jon Landry scored his 3rd of the season, from Jakub Vrana. With only 48 seconds left in the period, the Bears would make it 2-0. Tomas Kundratek scored his 5th of the season, from Kris Newbury & Garrett Mitchell. After the 1st, the Bears had the 8-7 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the penalties would pick up, and would include one for the Phantoms coach. 27 seconds into the period, the Phantoms would get within one. Brett Hextall scored his 6th of the season, from Kevin Goumas. At the 7:13 mark of the period, the Bears would make it 3-1. Chandler Stephenson scored his 7th of the season, from Joel Broda & Liam O'Brien. 15 seconds after that goal, a fight would break out between Hershey's Liam O'Brien & Lehigh Valley's Derek Mathers. After the 2nd, the Bears had the 28-15 shot advantage.
In the 3rd, the game would go crazy with penalties, and the Bears would continue to score goals. 27 seconds into the 3rd, the Bears made it 4-1 on the power play. Philippe Cornet scored his 9th of the season, from Jakub Vrana (2nd assist of night) & Travis Boyd (1st AHL assist/point). The Bears would score again on the power play, this time at the 11:19 mark. Travis Boyd scored his 1st AHL goal (2nd point of night), from Christian Djoos (1st AHL assist/point) & Jakub Vrana (3rd assist of night). With this goal, a game misconduct would come for the Phantoms coach, so he would be ejected from the game. The Bears finished with the 44-22 shot advantage.
Notes: The Bears finish with a record of 46-22-5-3 for an 100 point season. It is not known yet who they will play against in the 1st round of the playoffs. A few posts will be coming before the playoffs begin. One will be the final regular season statistics for the team, one will be the playoff bracket, and the other will be a post on the playoff roster for the team. Look for those in the next few days!
