Rough times at the Barn
There sure was a lot of tension and testosterone at Queen's Park Arena this evening as the Salmonbellies took on the Coquitlam Adanacs. What a game. The refs just couldn't keep up with a lot of cheap penalties. By the time they realized what was going on, gloves and shirts were off. In total there was 115 minutes' worth of penalties and that's not counting the ones the refs should have called, including the one against the Coquitlam coach for throwing his full water bottle onto the floor in a fit of rage.The Bellies once again started off slow, tying with the Adanacs at the end of the first period. By the end of the second, they were up by one, and by the end of the game, they had a nice five-point spread, with a final score of 12-7. The Adanacs' goalie played an amazing game, stopping 51 shots in total. Disher didn't have nearly as much to do, with only 41 shots having come his way.
First star of the game went to Ilja Gaijic of the Bellies, second star went to Athan Ianucci, also of the Bellies, and third star went to the Adanacs' Peter Veltman. My own personal Nasty Player of the Night Award goes to Adanacs' Jesse Phillips for his backcheck of a Bellies player who was dancing in front of the Adanacs net.
On the sentimental side of things, the jersey of former Salmonbelly Geordie Dean (#5) was retired this evening. Dean is the current record holder for the most Mann Cup assists--a record that goes back to 1995.
And, oh yeah. I have to add that tonight the Bellies looked positively smashing in their Retro Jerseys.
